The Stanbio Creatinine LiquiColor® test system is a device intended to measure creatinine levels in serum or urine. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
Device Story
Stanbio Creatinine LiquiColor® is an in vitro diagnostic test system for professional use. It utilizes an enzymatic-colorimetric method to measure creatinine levels in serum and urine samples. The system consists of two reagents (R1 and R2) and a calibrator. The device requires a spectrophotometer capable of absorbance readings at 540nm. The healthcare provider uses the spectrophotometer to measure the colorimetric reaction; the resulting creatinine concentration is used to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, monitor renal dialysis, and serve as a calculation basis for other urine analytes. The device provides quantitative results to aid clinical decision-making regarding kidney function.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via precision studies (intra-assay CV 0.41-1.14%; inter-assay CV 0.38-1.98%) and linearity studies (serum 0.04-5.1 mg/dL; urine 0.04-200 mg/dL). Method comparison performed on a Hitachi 717 analyzer using clinical and spiked samples (n=30 for serum, n=37 for urine) against the predicate device, yielding high correlation (r=0.9991 and r=0.9854 respectively). Analytical specificity confirmed for common interferents including bilirubin, hemoglobin, and ascorbic acid.
Technological Characteristics
Enzymatic-colorimetric assay. Requires spectrophotometer (540nm). Reagents stored at 2-8 °C. Linearity validated per NCCLS EP6-P2; precision validated per NCCLS EP5-A2. Standalone diagnostic test system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of creatinine in serum or urine to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, monitoring of renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for other urine analytes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A creatinine test system is a device intended to measure creatinine levels in plasma and urine. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.

Open vial stability was established at two levels (1 and 7 mg/dL), and supports a 30 day open vial stability claim at 2-8 °C.
d. Detection limit:
Deionized water was injected 10 times. Samples were run on a Roche Hitachi 717. A mean was determined and the standard deviation (SD) was calculated. From this determination, a 3 SD was calculated and then this value was added to the mean value. The final calculated value was defined as the lower limit of detection.

The upper range cut off value was determined by looking at the graphical representation of the analyte concentration versus its dilution level. Looking at the graph and observing where the "line" breaks (is non-linear) is the point at which the cut-off is determined.
