## Indications for Use

The Dade Behring Stratus® CS D-dimer method is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the Stratus® CS fluorometric analyzer for the determination of cross-linked fibrin degradation products (D-dimer) in plasma.

## Device Story

The Dade Behring Stratus® CS D-dimer method is an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay used for the quantitative measurement of D-dimer in human plasma. The device utilizes a five-well plastic cartridge (TestPak) containing embedded glass fiber paper. Reagents and patient plasma samples are added to the cartridge; the device measures the enzymatic rate of the bound D-dimer fraction via fluorescence. The analyzer performs all data analysis automatically. It is intended for clinical laboratory use to aid in the assessment of fibrin degradation. By providing quantitative D-dimer levels, the device assists healthcare providers in evaluating patients for conditions involving fibrinolysis.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance was evaluated via a split-sample comparison study using 123 patient plasma samples. The Stratus® D-dimer method was compared against the VIDAS® D-dimer assay. Results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.923, a slope of 0.995, and an intercept of 159 ng/mL, with sample concentrations ranging from 79 ng/mL to 5689 ng/mL.

## Technological Characteristics

Automated fluorescent immunoassay; 450nm excitation/emission. Reagents: alkaline phosphatase conjugate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate substrate. Form factor: five-well plastic TestPak cartridge with embedded glass fiber paper. Connectivity: integrated with Stratus® CS fluorometric analyzer. Calibration: lot-specific curve updated every 60 days.

| Device Description:      | The Dade Behring Stratus® CS D-dimer TestPak method is an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay that consists of a five(5)- well, plastic cartridge (TestPak) designed for use only on the Dade Behring Stratus® CS fluorometric analyzer. Within the TestPak cartridge is a small square of embedded glass fiber paper. Reagents and sample are added through an opening onto the glass fiber paper. Following incubation, the enzyme-labeled antibody and the bound D-dimer fraction react. The enzymatic rate of the bound fraction increases with the concentration of the D-dimer in the sample and is measured via fluorescence. Dilutions, if needed, may be accomplished via utilization of the Stratus®CS DilPak |

samples (n = 123) were tested at Dade Behring (Glasgow, Delaware) and ranged from 79 ng/mL to 5689 ng/mL as tested on the VIDAS® D-dimer assay.

#### Conclusion:

The Dade Behring Stratus® CS D-dimer (DDMR) method and the bioMerieux Vitek VIDAS® Ddimer (DD) assay are substantially equivalent in intended use, technological design and specific performance characteristics, including split sample comparison results as noted above.

Dear Mr. Vaught:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
