Intended Use
The DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is a dip-and-read test strip for semiquantitative urinalysis. DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips have been developed to allow health care professionals to test semiquantitatively for patient urine levels of specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen by visual comparison with a color chart.
Device Story
Disposable plastic reagent strips for semiquantitative urinalysis; used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Input: fresh, well-mixed, uncentrifuged urine. Operation: dip strip into urine; visual comparison of reagent color changes against provided color chart. Output: semiquantitative levels of specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen. No laboratory equipment required. Results assist clinicians in patient assessment and diagnostic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Independent laboratory evaluation conducted at University of Minnesota. Study compared two lots of DIA SCREEN strips against Ames Multistix 10 SG and Behring Rapignost using fresh, uncentrifuged urine samples (n=58). Discrepant results were resolved using standard confirmatory methods (e.g., refractometer, microscopic evaluation, pH meter). Results showed 96.5% agreement within one color block for all analytes across both lots.
Technological Characteristics
Plastic strips with affixed chemical reagent pads. Reagents include sodium nitroprusside, glucose oxidase, peroxidase, tetrabromphenol blue, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, and various diazonium salts. Visual read-only; no electronic components. Storage: 15-30°C, protected from moisture/light. Disposable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for health care professionals to perform semiquantitative urinalysis on patient urine samples to detect specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A urinary glucose (nonquantitative) test system is a device intended to measure glucosuria (glucose in urine). Urinary glucose (nonquantitative) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia.

[d] Intended Use
The DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is a dip-and-read test strip for semiquantitative urinalysis. DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips have been developed to allow health care professionals to test semiquantitatively for patient urine levels of specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen by visual comparison with a color chart.
[e] Product Description
DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips are plastic strips to which are affixed reagent areas. Several product configurations are included with this submission, but all configurations are limited to one, some or all of the following tests: specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen.
The reagent test areas on the DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips are ready to use upon removal from the bottle and the entire reagent strip is disposable after use. The strips are to be read visually, requiring no additional laboratory equipment for testing.

The directions must be followed exactly. Accurate timing is essential to provide optimal results. The reagent strips must be kept in the original bottle containing the desiccant with the cap tightly closed to maintain reagent activity. To obtain optimal results, it is necessary to use fresh, well-mixed, uncentrifuged urine.
Dia-Screen Corporation, a subsidiary of Genesis Labs, Inc., has previously received determinations of substantial equivalence for complete lines of urine reagent strips which have been marketed under the Bioscan (K940043) and DIA SCREEN (K952971) label.
The DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips will be manufactured by Genesis Labs for distribution by Dia-Screen. The intended use of the strips which are the subject of this new premarket notification is exactly the same as the strips which were reviewed previously (K940043 and K952971).
[f] Substantial Equivalence
The intended use of the strips which are the subject of this new premarket notification is exactly the same as the strips which were reviewed previously (K940043 and K952971).
The design and function of the new DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips are the same as the design and function of both the Bioscan and DIA SCREEN Reagent Strips which have been previously reviewed under premarket notifications K940043 and K952971.
The DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips for Urinalysis are substantially equivalent to Ames Multistix 10 SG, Behring Rapignost, Bioscan and Boehringer Mannheim Chemstrip urine test strip systems (90% of all observations are within one color block).
Characteristics of the Ames Multistix 10 SG and Behring Rapignost systems are compared with the DIA SCREEN® system in the following table:

Clinical Laboratory Evaluation of DIA SCREEN® Strips
The DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is a dip-and-read test strip intended for use as an in-vitro diagnostic aid using urine specimens. DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips have been developed to allow health care professionals to semiquantitatively determine levels of specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, pH, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, and urobilinogen in patient urine by visual comparison with a color chart of each concentration range. No additional reagents or laboratory equipment are required. These reagent strips are packaged in a plastic vial containing a desiccant. The test strips must be maintained tightly capped in the plastic vial to assure reagent activity. The directions-for-use must be followed exactly.
An independent laboratory evaluation of the new DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips for Urinalysis was conducted under the direction of Nancy Brunzel, C.L.S., M.T., at the University of Minnesota Department of Medical Technology. The purpose of the laboratory evaluation was to establish the performance of the DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis when compared to "510 (k) approved" marketed urinalysis strip systems.
The study consisted of comparing the performance of two (2) manufactured lots of DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips with one (1) lot of a marketed product (Ames Multistix 10 SG and Behring Rapignost).
Fresh urine samples were obtained at the medical facility. The comparison strips, Ames Multistix 10 SG and Behring Rapignost strips, and abnormal urine controls were furnished by Dia-Screen. When data between the two products did not agree within one color block, an alternate procedure (see table below) was used to test the sample.

Fresh, well-mixed, and uncentrifuged urine from a mixed patient population was reacted with the DIA SCREEN® Reagent Strips and the results were read by visual comparison with the DIA SCREEN® color chart. Results of these readings were compared to results measured by Multistix 10 SG and Rapignost Strips.
A summary of the data obtained from the clinical evaluation described above is provided in the following tables (pages 9 and 10):
