Intended Use
The IVD-GE02 system is a blood gases analyzer intended as an in vitro diagnostic device for the quantitative measurement of whole blood samples in a clinical laboratory. The IVD-GE02 system includes sensors for the measurements of pH, pCO₂, pO₂, potassium, and glucose. Measurements of blood gases (pCO₂, pO₂) and blood pH are used in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening acid-base disturbances. Measurement of potassium is used to monitor electrolyte balance in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases conditions characterized by high or low potassium levels. Measurement of glucose is used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma. IVD-GE02 calibration solutions are in vitro diagnostic products for the calibration of the IVD-GE02 test system for the measurements of pH, pCO₂, pO₂, potassium and glucose.
Device Story
Modular blood gas analyzer; processes whole blood samples via disposable cartridge containing multi-analyte sensor array. System includes instrument with fluid management (pumps, valves), PC/touchscreen monitor, and printer. Sensors utilize electrochemical (potentiometric/amperometric) principles to generate electrical signals proportional to analyte concentration. ASIC on cartridge processes signals. Operator manually injects samples and calibration/QC solutions via injection port. Output displayed on monitor; used by clinicians to monitor acid-base status, electrolytes, and glucose levels. Benefits include rapid diagnostic information for life-threatening conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (CLSI EP5-A2) performed with control materials and heparinized whole blood. Linearity (CLSI EP6-A) confirmed across specified ranges. Interference testing (CLSI EP7-A2) identified specific substances (e.g., acetyl salicylic acid, halothane, sodium pentothal) affecting measurements. Method comparison (CLSI EP9-A2) against predicate using 98-111 patient samples showed high correlation (R² 0.95-0.99).

Components: dedicated PC/monitor, disposable cartridge with ASIC, fluid management system (pumps, valves). Connectivity: cables between monitor and instrument. Calibration: aqueous solutions. Analyte range: pH, pCO2, pO2, K+, glucose.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of whole blood samples in clinical laboratories to diagnose/treat acid-base disturbances, monitor electrolyte balance, and manage carbohydrate metabolism disorders (e.g., diabetes, hypoglycemia, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma).
Regulatory Classification

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES TO PREDICATE DEVICES
{3}------------------------------------------------
## Technological Characteristics
The IVD-GE02 system is contained on a single multi-analyte sensor chip that has an arrav of individual sensors, each of which measures a different analyte. The sensors produce electrical signals in response to the analytes in the blood. The signal from each sensor is proportional to the concentration of analyte.
The individual sensors use one of two transducer technologies: potentiometric (a field effect transistor structure to measure the potential generated), and amperometric (measuring the current generated).
Many of the transducers on the sensor chip require a covering membrane so that thev can respond to a specific analyte. The membranes used by Sphere on the IVD- GE02 sensor array are based on those already used in other commercially available blood analysers.
#### Performance Data Summary
#### Linearity
The study design was based on CSLI document EP6-A "Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach: Approved Guideline"
The study used human whole blood as the test material and was conducted for the analytes pH. pCO2. pO2. K+. and glucose.
7 levels of each analyte were read in duplicate on each of three IVD-GE02 systems and the predicate device (Rapidlab 865 blood gas analyser).
| Analyte | Test Range | Units | R2 |
|---------|--------------|-------|-------|
| pH | 6.8 – 7.8 | N/A | >0.99 |
| pO2 | 28 - 498 | mmHg | >0.99 |
| pCO2 | 21.8 - 101.9 | mmHg | >0.99 |
| K+ | 2.1 - 9.7 | mM | >0.99 |
| Glucose | 10.8 - 445.3 | m/dL | >0.99 |
#### Aqueous Precision
#### Method
The study design is based on CLSI document EP5-A2. Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods Approved Guideline-Second Edition. On each day the outlier test was applied to the duplicate readings, as described in EP5-A2. Data was analysed as specified in CLSI quideline EP5-A2.
The mean, the repeatability (within run precision), the between-day standard deviation, the between-run standard deviation and the total precision were calculated from the raw data with all calculations beinq performed as recommended in CLSI quideline EP5-A2.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The precision data collected for the IVD-GE02 shows comparable performance to published precision data for other blood analysers within the reference range.
## Precision in Blood
#### Method.
The study was conducted for the analytes pH, pCO2, pO2, K*, and glucose and for each analyte, human blood samples were prepared at two different levels of analyte. Ten readings of the analyte level in human blood were taken at each analyte level. After each replicate of a blood sample was read on the IVD-GE02 system the same sample was read on the predicate device (Rapidlab 865 blood gas analyser).
Human whole blood was used for the "Precision Study in Blood". Blood was drawn into heparinised vacutainers by trained phlebotomists. All blood was used within 24 hours of donation.
