Intended Use
The CLINITEK Novus® Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer is a fully automated urinalysis instrument for clinical laboratory use. The CLINITEK Novus analyzer is intended to read Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics CLINITEK Novus Cassettes, as well as determine urine specific gravity and urine clarity. The CLINITEK Novus 10 Urinalysis Cassette is intended for the semi-quantitative measurement of the following parameters in urine: bilirubin, blood (occult), glucose, ketone (acetoacetic acid), leukocytes, nitrite (qualitative), pH, protein, color, and urobilinogen. These measurements are used to assist diagnosis in the following areas: - Carbohydrate metabolism (such as diabetes mellitus) - Kidney function - Liver function - Metabolic disorders - Urinary tract infection For in vitro diagnostic use. The CLINITEK Novus® Calibration Kit is intended to be used with the CLINITEK Novus Urinalysis Cassette to calibrate the CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer. This product is for professional in vitro diagnostic use.
Device Story
The CLINITEK Novus is a fully automated batch urine chemistry analyzer for clinical laboratories. It processes urine samples from barcoded tubes using a sampling pipette that dispenses urine onto reagent test pads (CLINITEK Novus 10 Cassette) and an SG sensor. The system uses a CMOS digital imager to record color and intensity of light reflected from reacted test pads, illuminated by two pairs of LEDs. Specific gravity is measured via a fiber optic refractive index method; clarity is determined by light transmission and scattering. The system performs automated rinse cycles between samples. Results are displayed on the instrument, printed, or sent to a Laboratory Information System (LIS). The device assists clinicians in diagnosing metabolic disorders, kidney/liver function, and UTIs. It includes a 3-point calibration process using a dedicated calibration kit. The system provides semi-quantitative and qualitative results, improving workflow efficiency in high-volume clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via precision/reproducibility studies (3 analyzers, 10 days, 3 levels of controls) and method comparison against the predicate (3 sites, up to 2773 specimens). Results showed high agreement (exact match and within ±1 block) across all analytes. Analytical sensitivity (limit of detection) and specificity (interference testing with various substances) were established. No clinical prospective/retrospective studies on patient outcomes were required.
Technological Characteristics
System uses a CMOS digital imager for reflectance photometry and fiber optic refractive index sensing for specific gravity. Reagents are provided in a test card cassette format. Connectivity includes LIS integration. Calibration is performed using a 4-solution liquid kit. Software includes automated cleaning cycles and humidity quality checks. Complies with CLSI EP7-A2 for interference testing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories to assist in the diagnosis of carbohydrate metabolism disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus), kidney function, liver function, metabolic disorders, and urinary tract infections via semi-quantitative measurement of urine analytes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification An automated urinalysis system is a device intended to measure certain of the physical properties and chemical constituents of urine by procedures that duplicate manual urinalysis systems.

#### 4.0 Device Description
The CLINITEK Novus® system is a fully automated urine chemistry analyzer that is designed for use with the CLINITEK Novus® 10 Urinalysis Cassette. The analyzer automates the process of urine strip testing by dispensing urine samples onto a test pad, and then by reading the color and intensity of light reflected from the reacted test pads, converts the results into clinically meaningful units.
Test results from the test pads are qualitative and semi-quantitative; specific gravity is measured by a refractometer assembly.

#### 7.0 Test Principle
The CLINITEK Novus analyzer utilizes an optical system that has a digital imager. The concentration of each analyte is measured by the color change that develops when a sample is deposited on a test pad. The imager records the color and intensity of the light reflected off the reacted tested pads, which are illuminated by two pairs of LED lights. The optical system converts this data into clinically meaningful results.
Specific gravity (SG) is determined by the fiber optic refractive index method. The SG sensor measures the amount of light passing through the fiber optic at one end. Because the refractive index is proportional to specific gravity, the light measured correlates to the specific gravity of the sample yielding a quantitative result.

### b. Detection Limit
The sensitivity of the CLINITEK Novus urinalysis cassette reagents was evaluated by spiking negative pooled human urine with known quantity of analytes. The analytes were spiked at multiple concentrations around the transition value from negative to positive. Multiple samples were tested at each concentration on the CLINITEK Novus analyzer. Sensitivity was defined as the concentration in which ≥ 55% of the results were positive. The lower limits of analyte detection for each reagent test are shown in the following table:
| Analyte | Limit of Detection<br>(Sensitivity) |
|--------------|-------------------------------------|
| Bilirubin | 0.5 mg/dL |
| Blood | 0.013 mg/dL |
| Glucose | 36 mg/dL |
| Ketone | 3.6 mg/dL |
| Leukocyte | 6.0 cells/µL |
| Nitrite | 0.06 mg/dL |
| Protein | 10.8 mg/dL |
| Urobilinogen | 0.24 mg/dL |
### c. Analytical Specificity
Urine samples were spiked with a high concentration of potentially interfering substances. Substances that resulted in a change in the reported clinical block output were serially diluted to determine the concentration at which the substance interfered. The results are in the following table:

#### 9.0 Instrument Name:
CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer
{21}------------------------------------------------
#### 10.0 System Descriptions
### Modes of Operation
Single and continuous testing.
# Specimen Identification
An internal barcode reader scans the barcode labels on the sample tubes in the racks or sample identification may be entered manually using the touch screen keyboard.
# Specimen Sampling and Handling
The CLINITEK Novus system can analyze multiple sample pipette aspirates a sample from the sample tube and dispenses sample onto each test pad.
# Calibration
The CLINITEK Novus system uses four liquid calibration solutions to perform a calibration reflectance check. The calibrators have a fixed value with no lot specific values. A calibration must be performed when a new lot of reagent cassette is loaded onto the system or a new cassette of the same lot is loaded and the calibration is older than 24 hours.
The calibrators are identical to those cleared in K932674.
# Quality Control
Recommendations for testing quality control are in the labeling. Routinely test at least 2 levels (negative/low and positive) of an appropriate commercially available control to confirm performance of the CLINITEK Novus urinalysis cassette. Controls may also be randomly placed in each batch of samples tested. Each laboratory should establish its own qoals for acceptable standards of performance, and should question handling and testing procedures if these standards are not met.
The CLINITEK Atlas controls, cleared in K932674, may be used with the CLINITEK Novus automated urine chemistry analyzer.
# Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered in the "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
None
#### 11.0 Conclusion
The results of these studies demonstrate that the CLINITEK Novus automated urine chemistry analyzer and CLINITEK Novus 10 urinalysis cassette is similar to the predicate in both Technological Characteristics and Intended Use. The data presented is a summary of external clinical evaluation, internal laboratory evaluation, and software development information. The CLINITEK Novus performance was shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate urinalysis device.
