It utilizes rate nephelometry to measure microalbumin concentrations in human urine. The system processes samples by reacting them with goat-derived antibodies; the resulting light scattering is measured to quantify albumin levels. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. It automates antigen excess testing by including the testing solution directly within the reagent cartridge, unlike the predicate which required manual preparation. The output provides quantitative albumin results, which clinicians use to evaluate renal health and monitor for microalbuminuria. The system improves workflow efficiency through integrated reagent management and higher antibody concentrations compared to the predicate. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance was validated through method comparison, stability, and imprecision studies. Method comparison against the predicate (n=109) yielded a slope of 0.957, intercept of -0.03, and r=0.991. Imprecision studies (n=80 per level) demonstrated within-run %CV ranging from 2.0% to 7.5% and total imprecision %CV ranging from 2.3% to 9.8%. Stability claims include 24-month shelf-life, 14-day open container stability, and 14-day calibration stability. ## Technological Characteristics Rate nephelometry-based immunochemistry reagent. Uses goat-derived antibodies. Features integrated antigen excess testing solution within the reagent cartridge. Designed for use on the Beckman IMMAGE Immunochemistry System. No specific materials of construction or software architecture details provided. ## Regulatory Identification A urinary protein or albumin (nonquantitative) test system is a device intended to identify proteins or albumin in urine. Identification of urinary protein or albumin (nonquantitative) is used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease conditions such as renal or heart diseases or thyroid disorders, which are characterized by proteinuria or albuminuria. ## Predicate Devices - Beckman MA Microalbumin Reagent Kit ([K895883](/device/K895883.md)) ## Reference Devices - Array® 360 System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
