This product is to be used in a diagnostic laboratory setting, by qualified laboratory personnel, for the quantitative determination of direct and total bilirubin in human serum. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. Studies suggest that direct and total bilirubin measurements provide information to assist in the assessment of liver function and conditions such as hemolytic and obstructive jaundice.
Device Story
Pointe Scientific Direct and Total Bilirubin assays are quantitative colorimetric reagents for use on Hitachi clinical chemistry analyzers. Input: human serum samples. Principle: bilirubin couples with diazonium salt (DPD) in acidic medium to form azobilirubin; measured spectrophotometrically. Output: bilirubin concentration (mg/dL). Used in diagnostic laboratories by qualified technologists. Results assist clinicians in assessing liver function and conditions like hemolytic or obstructive jaundice.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; device relies on analytical performance characteristics typical of in vitro diagnostic test systems.
Technological Characteristics
Quantitative colorimetric assay. Reagents: liquid, ready-to-use, containing acid buffers and DPD stabilizers. Sensing: spectrophotometric measurement of azobilirubin. Form factor: reagent kits for automated clinical chemistry analyzers (Hitachi 704, 717, 747, 911, 912).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of direct and total bilirubin in human serum to assist in the assessment of liver function and conditions such as hemolytic and obstructive jaundice in a clinical laboratory setting.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A bilirubin (total or direct) test system is a device intended to measure the levels of bilirubin (total or direct) in plasma or serum. Measurements of the levels of bilirubin, an organic compound formed during the normal and abnormal distruction of red blood cells, if used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver, hemolytic hematological, and metabolic disorders, including hepatitis and gall bladder block.
