Indications for Use
The AUTION ELEVEN Semi-Automated Urinalysis System provides a qualitative and semi-quantitative measurements for glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, blood, ketones, nitrites, leukocytes, specific gravity and color tone in urine specimens. The system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in screening patient populations found in clinical laboratories.
Device Story
The AUTION ELEVEN Semi-Automated Urinalysis System is a semi-automated urine chemistry analyzer used in clinical laboratories by professional staff. The system consists of the AE-4022 analyzer and AUTION Sticks 10EA test strips. The user dips the test strip into a urine sample and places it on the analyzer; the instrument automatically transports the strip to the photometric section. The device uses four light-emitting diodes to measure the reflectance of the reagent pads at two wavelengths per analyte (except blood, which uses one). It also measures a blank pad to correct for urine color tone. The system calculates qualitative and semi-quantitative results based on reflectance values. An optional barcode reader allows for patient ID entry. The device provides rapid screening results to assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making regarding patient health status.

L. Test Principle:
The AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer device uses combinations of 4 light emitting diodes to measure the reflectance of the reagent pads of the AUTION 10EA Stick test strips. Two wavelengths are used for the reflectance determination of each analyte, except blood which uses a single wavelength. The percent reflectance received by the optical sensor for each analyte on the test strip is then used to calculate a semi-quantitative value and a qualitative value.
The AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer also measures urine color tone. This is done by measuring the reflectance of a blank pad on the AUTION 10EA Stick. The concentration for each analyte is corrected for urine color tone, so that the urine color does not interfere with measurement.
Assay Principles of the AUTION 10EA Stick:
Glucose: Based on a double sequential enzyme reaction. Glucose oxidase catalyzes the formation of gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide from the oxidation of glucose. A second enzyme, peroxidase, catalyzes the oxidative coupling of 4-amino-antipyrine and 1-Naphthol-3-6-disulfonic acid by hydrogen peroxide to form a Quinone imine purple color.
{5}
Protein: Based on the protein-error-of-indicators reaction. At a constant pH, the presence of protein causes a change in the color of the indicator to a cyan color.
Bilirubin: The test is based on azo-coupling reaction of bilirubin with diazotized 2-methyl-5- nitroaniline in acidic medium. Varying bilirubin levels will produce a reddish brown color.
Urobilinogen: The test is based on azo-coupling reaction of Urobilinogen with diazotized 3,3'-dimethyloxy-4,4'-biphenyl bis-diazonium tetrafluoroborate in acidic medium. Varying Urobilinogen levels will produce a reddish brown color.
pH: Based on a mixed indicator principle that gives a broad range of colors (yellow to cyan) covering the entire urinary pH range.
Specific Gravity: Cation extraction.
Blood: Based on the peroxidase-like activity of hemoglobin, which catalyzes the reaction of Cumene hydroperoxide and 3,3,5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine to form a cyan color.
Ketones: Legal reaction. Based on the reaction of sodium nitroprusside with acetoacetic acid to form a purple complex.
Nitrites: Griess reaction. Nitrite reacts with sulfanilamide, followed by a diazo-coupling reaction to form a pink colored product.
Leukocytes: Granulocytic leukocytes contain esterases that catalyze the hydrolysis of 3-(N-Toluenesulfonyl-L-alanyloxy) indole (TAI) to form indoxyl, which further reacts with 2-Methoxy-4-(N-morpholino) benzenediazonium (MMB) to form a purple product.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision studies were conducted using the Semi-Automated Urinalysis System consisting of the AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-Automatic Urine Analyzer and the AUTION Sticks 10EA. The studies were performed at three clinical laboratory sites. At each site, the precision study was conducted by one operator using one instrument and one lots of test strips. For the precision studies, three samples were tested in duplicate in each run, two runs per day for 20 days for a total of 80 replicates for each site.
The samples were three levels of urine-based quality control material: negative, mid-level positive, and high-positive.
Within run (repeatability) and total imprecision (reproducibility) were calculated.

## d. Detection limit:
Study 1: A detection limit study was conducted on each analyte of the AUTION ELEVEN Semi-Automated Urinalysis System to determine the concentration which changed the rank measurement block from negative to the next level rank measurement block (rank 1 to rank 2).
{12}
Samples were prepared by spiking analyte into negative pooled urine. Each pool was spiked with the target analyte concentration, plus a concentration on each side of the target in order to determine the sensitivity concentration. Each samples was analyzed in replicates of 5 using 3 strip lots, for a total of $n = 30$ results. The analytical sensitivity for each rank measurement color block is defined as the lowest concentration at which $\geq 50\%$ of the test results are positive between the negative color block, and the first positive $(1+)$ or trace $(\pm)$ color block. The results are summarized in the following table:
| Analyte | Sensitivity | % Sensitivity |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Glucose | 30 mg/dL | 100 |
| Protein | 10 mg/dL | 100 |
| Bilirubin | 0.5 mg/dL | 50 |
| Urobilinogen | 2 mg/dL | 100 |
| Blood | 0.023 mg/dL | 100 |
| Ketones | 3 mg/dL | 73 |
| Nitrites | 0.08 mg/dL | 50 |
| Leukocytes | 25 Leu/uL | 100 |
Study 2: A sensitivity study was conducted to demonstrate the cut-off concentration between the qualitative measurement blocks for each analyte of the AUTION Stick 10EA. The low cut-off concentration for each measurement block is defined as the lowest concentration at which $\geq 50\%$ of the test results are positive for the greater color block. Samples were prepared by spiking analyte into negative pooled urine pool. Each pool was spiked with the target analyte concentration. Additionally, a sample was prepared at a slightly lower concentration than the target concentration. Each sample was created twice, using 2 urine pools, and tested in replicates of 5 on each pool. Each urine pool was tested with 3 lots of reagent strips for a total of 30 replicates per sample.
The low cut-off concentrations for each qualitative measurement rank of each analyte are summarized in the table below.

Each sample was measured on the instrument in replicates of 5. The mean reflectance was calculated for each sample type. To assess whether a substance caused significant interference, the %reflectance from samples with no interfering substance was compared against the mean %reflectance of the sample spiked with the interfering substance. Interference was determined based on the acceptance criteria stated below:
Negative Samples: If mean values are 1+ (75 for Leukocytes) or greater, interference is considered positive.
For pH and Specific gravity: If mean value is greater than +/-1 rank, there is significant interference.
Positive Samples: If sample results differ by greater than +/- 1 color block between samples containing the interfering substance and samples without it, interference will be considered positive.
{16}
Additional testing was conducted on certain substances that showed significant interference at the highest level. The concentration of the interferent reduced until, the rank measurement block change was with $+/- 1$ . This is given in the table below:

# The effect of pH
The following tests were found to be affected by pH of 3 of lower: Glucose, Specific gravity, and Leukocytes.
# The effect of Specific gravity
No interference was found on the analytes due to urine specific gravity using sucrose as additive to change specific gravity.
# Color tone detection and correction
A study was conducted to verify that the system is insensitive to interference from red, brown, orange and green colored urine samples.
The samples were two levels of commercial control material (negative and high-positive); ThermoScientific MAS Controls 1 and 2. To the samples were spiked dyes to create the colors of red, orange, brown, and green. For reference, the control materials were spiked with water. No significant effect on color on the results was if the sample with added dye read with $+/-1$ rank measurement block.
Based on the results, is no interference on measurement results due to variations in sample color tone.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Method comparison studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of the AUTION ELEVEN Semi-Automated Urinalysis System for the measurement of urine chemistry analytes. Results were compared to those from the predicate AUTION MAX AX-4030 Automated Urine Analyzer for all analytes except Specific Gravity. The AUTION JET AJ-4270 Urine Analyzer (k030600) was the comparator method for specific gravity.
Testing was performed at multiple sites by at least 4 operators and using at least 4 instruments, and 3 different lots of test sticks. The urine samples for analysis were provided by either local hospitals or each site's internal clinical laboratory. Specimens were single daily urine. These were refrigerated at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ within 2 hours of collection, and tested within 24 hours of collection. For testing, the samples were allowed to warm to room temperature (10 to $30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ ) for 30 minutes, and were tested within 2 hours. In order to obtain the necessary range in concentration for each analyte, a small number of the samples were prepared by spiking analyte into urine. These samples constituted no more than $7\%$ of the total.

{26}
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer requires the user to dip an AUTION Stick 10EA test strip into a patient urine specimen of sufficient volume. The user then removes the strip and excess urine, and places the test trip onto the instrument. The remaining operations of the test are carried out automatically. The test strip feeding mechanism transports the test strip to the photometric section of the instrument. After 60 seconds to allow for the analyte reacting with the reagent chemistries, the instrument measures each pad’s reflectance, and converts the reflectance to a qualitative and semi-quantitative result.
5. Calibration:
Calibration of the AUTION Sticks 10EA by the user is not required.
6. Quality Control:
Use of control material is recommended in labeling. Controls should be run: 1) daily, 2) whenever a new bottle of test sticks is opened, 3) before reporting unusual results, and 4) when training new operators.
Control material is not provided with the system. Instead, user manual recommends use of commercially available control material.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Temperature and Humidity Study:
Temperature and humidity operating conditions of the analyzer were evaluated at temperatures ranging from 8 to 32°C and relative humidity from 28% to 62%. The conditions included combinations of the lowest humidity and highest temperature. The results support the sponsor’s claimed operating temperature for the AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer of 10 to 30°C with relative humidity ranging from 30% to 60%.
2. EMC:
Sponsor provided test reports from independent testing firm demonstrating compliance with the following EMC standards:
UL 61010-1: Electrical Equipment For Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements.
IEC 61010-2-101: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - Part 2-101: Particular requirements for in vitro diagnostic

(IVD) medical equipment.
CAN/CSA 61010-1-04: Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment For Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements.
IEC 61010-2-081: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-081: Particular requirements for automatic and semi-automatic laboratory equipment for analysis and other purposes.
FCC Part 15 Radio Frequency Device Subpart B Unintentional Radiators.
Operating mode: During testing, an exercise program was used to run the instrument (included the barcode reader) in a manner similar to typical use.
3. Software:
The software documentation was reviewed and found to be acceptable. The sponsor provided documentation to support that the device was designed, developed and is under good software lifecycle processes.
4. Barcode reader
A hand held barcode reader is optionally available with the AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer for entering patient IDs. The functional performance of the barcode reader was verified against the design specifications. The manual input of patient ID was compared for data integrity to a scanned barcode input across 5 different test ID's, and across two different field formats; (1) full 13 numeric characters and (2) 10 numeric characters starting at the second numeric character. The verification test demonstrated that the bar code reader operates as intended to the design specifications.
5. Color tone measurement
The AUTION ELEVEN AE-4022 Semi-automatic Urine Analyzer measures 23 urine color tones. This is done by measuring the reflectance of a blank pad on the AUTION 10EA Stick. The concentration for each analyte is corrected for urine color tone.
Studies were conducted to verify that the system is able to detect a broad range in colors. Because the occurrence of patient samples covering the 23 possible color tones is rare, the samples used in the testing were urine spiked with dyes. Each of 23 different colored samples (yellow, red, green, blue, violet, orange, brown with hues of dark, normal, light) was manually dispensed onto a test strip pad. The reflectance was read and transformed into a color measurement. These results were compared to a visual read. All colors were detected.
