Device Story

RAPIDPoint 405 system is a point-of-care/laboratory blood gas analyzer; measures neonatal bilirubin (nBili) in whole blood samples. Device aspirates sample via port; transfers to CO-oximetry chamber. Multi-wavelength spectrophotometry measures light transmission; polychromator detects intensity at various wavelengths. Iterative least squares analysis calculates raw bilirubin; corrected for hematocrit to produce final nBili result. Used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Output aids clinicians in assessing kernicterus risk in newborns. Software version 3.7 enables nBili measurement; no hardware changes required.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Analytical performance included precision studies (CLSI EP5-A2) using quality control materials and whole blood, demonstrating total CVs ranging from 2.2% to 9.6%. Linearity was confirmed across 2.1–30.0 mg/dL (R=0.999). Limit of Detection (LOD) was 0.5 mg/dL and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) was 2.1 mg/dL. Method comparison against the predicate (N=202) yielded a Deming regression of y = 0.98x - 0.12 (r=0.983). Interference testing identified Evans Blue, Fluorescein, Methylene Blue, Sulfan Blue, and Cyanmethemoglobin as interfering substances.

Technological Characteristics

Optical spectrophotometric CO-oximetry; multi-wavelength light transmission. Software-enabled parameter (v3.7). Calibration uses existing tHb calibration curve (k031560). Measuring range: 2.1–30.0 mg/dL. Sample types: heparinized whole blood (syringe or capillary).

L. Test Principle:

The RAPIDPoint 405 system uses multiple wavelength spectrophotometry (CO-oximetry) to measure the transmission of light through a sample of neonate whole blood to determine concentrations of hemoglobin derivatives and bilirubin. The RAPIDPoint 405 system aspirates the whole blood sample at the sample port and then transfers the sample to the CO-ox sample chamber. As the sample flows through an optical chamber, the CO-ox optics head directs light through the sample and to a polychromator that measures the intensity of transmitted light at different wavelengths. Iterative least squares analysis is used to determine raw bilirubin values. Raw values are then corrected for hematocrit to produce nBili results.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Quality control precision was performed by using three levels of RapidQC® Complete (quality control materials) and one level of Calibration Verification Material (CVM®). For all of the quality control precision testing, six RP405 instruments were used at one internal site. There were a total of 5 different operators who performed the testing during the study. The test protocol used was adopted from CLSI document EP5-A2, 'Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods'. One lot of each aqueous control material was used throughout the study. The three levels of ampoule Complete QC along with CVM level 1 were run in duplicate, twice per day, per level on each instrument for a minimum of 20 days. Each "run" of duplicate results was spaced at least 2 hours apart from each other. The repeatability and within laboratory precision for each control product and level were calculated and compared with internal precision guidelines. All data was included in the analysis. The results were as follows:

| Level | N | Mean (mg/dL) | Total SD (mg/dL) | % Total CV |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RapidQC Control Material Level 1 | 516 | 20.4 | 0.80 | 3.9 |
| RapidQC Control Material Level 2 | 516 | 10.6 | 0.54 | 5.1 |
| RapidQC Control Material Level 3 | 517 | 5.0 | 0.26 | 5.2 |
| Calibrator Verification Material | 514 | 24.1 | 0.79 | 3.3 |

Additionally, reproducibility was performed using whole blood specimens from in-house donors collected in lithium heparin green top tubes. Whole blood specimens were fully oxygenated, altered to tHb levels of 12-22 g/dL and spiked with bilirubin concentrations between 3-25 mg/dL. Prepared samples were run on RP405 in syringe and capillary modes. Each run had a single target bilirubin level at three different tHb levels in triplicate. Runs were performed for nBili levels across the measuring range (3, 5, 12, 16, 20, 23, and 25 mg/dL). Five operators participated in this study. The precision results are summarized as follows:

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The measuring range of this device is $2.1 - 30\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Linearity by dilution was performed using whole blood from a single donor that was split into two pools: one pool was altered to a bilirubin concentration of $\sim 40\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and the other pool was left unaltered $(0.5 - 1.5\mathrm{mg / dL})$ . Nine sample pools were created by using various portions of each pool to span the measuring range $(2 - 30\mathrm{mg / dL})$ . Each pool was run in random order on one RP405 analyzer in syringe mode in replicates of four in one day. The data was analyzed in accordance with CLSI EP-6. The data was fit to linear, quadratic, and cubic models and the linear model was found to have the best mathematical fit. The linear regression generated is $\mathrm{Y} = -0.558 + 1.05\mathrm{x}$ , $\mathrm{R} = 0.999$ . Samples range tested from 2.0 to $41.7\mathrm{mg / dL}$ .

These results demonstrate the linearity of the device across the claimed measuring range of $2 - 30\mathrm{mg / dL}$ .

# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

There is no unique calibration measurement for nBili. The tHb calibration curve is used in nBili measurements. The calibrator for tHb was cleared in k031560.

# d. Detection limit:

The limit of detection was determined in accordance with CLSI EP-17A. Whole blood was collected from eleven donors. For the blank samples, blood was left

{9}

unaltered and exposed to light for a minimum of five hours. Low level samples were altered to have bilirubin concentrations in the range of 0.6 to 2.0 mg. The samples were each assessed in replicates of 6-12 over three days on four RP405 instruments in syringe mode for a total of 90 blank and 78 low level samples each.. The limit of blank (LOB) was calculated from these results using the 95th percentile of the ascending rank ordered values for each instrument. The LOD was calculated to be 0.5 mg/dL. LoQ is determined to be 2.1 mg/dL based on a 13% CV.

The nbili measuring range is 2.1 – 30 mg/dL.

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference testing was performed on four RP405 instruments using fully oxygenated whole blood that was prepared to have 17 g/dL tHb and either 3 mg/dL or 20 mg/dL unconjugated bilirubin. The samples were split and spiked with either the potential interferent or an equivalent volume of diluent and run on the RP405 system in syringe mode. Each run had a control and test sample in triplicate and three runs of each interferent were performed. Bias was calculated for each substance tested (bias= mean test-mean control) as was the interference (% interference = bias/mean control *100).

For each substance tested, the bias was calculated (bias = (mean test – mean control)) as well as the percent of interference (% effect of interference = (bias / mean control)*100). A substance was defined as a significant interferent if the bias (mean nBili test value – mean nBili control value) exceeds a calculated limit. Any compound that resulted in greater than 13% bias when tested at 5 mg/dL or 10% bias when tested at 20 mg/dL was considered an interferent. Hemolysis, Indocyanine Green, Lipid, Beta Carotene (at 0.22 mg/dL) and high and low pH do not interfere with the measurement of nBili on RP405. Evans Blue, Fluorescein, Methylene Blue, Sulfan Blue, and Cyanmethemoglobin are all interfering substances. The results of the interference testing are as follows:

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

Method comparison was performed at an internal site. Whole blood umbilical cord samples were obtained and the samples were spiked with unconjugated bilirubin at concentrations that span the measuring range. The samples were run on the RP405 and the RL1265 analyzer in both the syringe and capillary modes in single replicate. There were three operators that performed the study and there were a total of 43 samples. Deming regression was performed on each individual observation from the RP405 and RL1265 to determine the slope and intercept. The results yielded a linear regression of $y = 0.975x + 0.391$ with an $r^2$ of 0.996 using a range of nBili data from 2.3 to $29.0 \, \mathrm{mg/dL}$ .

In addition, the sponsor also performed a method comparison at three external clinical sites using at least three typical point of care operators testing a minimum of 40 unadulterated neonatal whole blood clinical specimens per site and 5 samples at sites

{11}

2 and 3 that were spiked using commercially available unconjugated bilirubin to expand the range of the samples. The highest naturally occurring RL1265 nBili value measured at the external clinical trials was $23.9\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . As a surrogate for rare naturally occurring high nBili samples, supplemental spiked cord blood was used to demonstrate the full reportable range. Umbilical cord blood was used as it mimics neonate samples because, unlike adult blood, cord whole blood contains native fetal hemoglobin and neonate cells. Deming regression was performed on each individual observation from the RP405 and RL1265 to determine the slope and intercept.

The Deming regression correlation results of the method comparison studies for the three external sites (1-3) and the internal site (4) and the combination of these (all) are summarized as follows:

| Trial Site | Sample Size (N) | Deming Orthogonal Slope | 95% Confidence Interval of Slope | Deming Orthogonal Intercept | 95% Confidence Interval of Intercept | Std Error of the Estimate (Sy, x) | Coeff of Determ. (r2) | Corr Coeff (r) | Minimum RL12x5 Value, mg/dL | Maximum RL12x5 Value, mg/dL |

Neonatal Bilirubin (nBili) is a new parameter offered on the Rapidpoint 405 (RP405) blood gas system. The RP405 system is a point of care and laboratory testing blood gas analyzer and currently measures a variety of parameters that have been previously cleared under k002738 and k020616. With the planned release of software version 3.7, the ability to measure nBili will be added to the system.

2. Software:

FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and Software Development processes for this line of product types:

Yes ☐ X ☐ or No ☐

3. Specimen Identification:

{13}

Samples are identified through barcode.

4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:

User can analyze samples using the sample collection devices and whole blood is collected in a heparanized syringe or capillary.

5. Calibration:

The tHb calibrator has been previously cleared in k031560. There is no unique calibration measurement for nBili. The tHb calibration curve is used in nBili measurements. The targeted calibration points for tHb are:

- Calibration Point: 0 g/dL
- Slope Point: 15 g/dL

6. Quality Control:

There quality control material is the RapidQC® Complete external controls cleared in k970956 control materials required for nBili.
