## Indications for Use

The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Gentamicin (GEN) reagent, when used in conjunction with the Beckman IMMAGE™ Immunochemistry Systems and Beckman Drug Calibrator 3 Plus, is intended for the quantitative determination of cgentamicin in human serum or plasma by rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay. The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Tobramycin (TOB) reagent, when used in conjunction with the Beckman IMMAGE™ Immunochemistry Systems and Beckman Drug Calibrator 3 Plus, is intended for the quantitative determination of tobramycin in human serum or plasma by rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay. Beckman Drug Calibrator 3 Plus, used in conjunction with IMMAGE reagents, is intended for use on Beckman's IMMAGE™ Immunochemistry Systems for the calibration of Gentamicin and Tobramycin test systems.

## Device Story

The IMMAGE Immunochemistry System uses liquid-stable reagents and Beckman Drug Calibrator 3 Plus to measure gentamicin and tobramycin concentrations in human serum or plasma. The system employs a rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay principle. Samples are processed on the IMMAGE Immunochemistry System, which detects light scattering changes to quantify drug levels. The device is intended for clinical laboratory use. Results assist healthcare providers in therapeutic drug monitoring to optimize dosing and minimize toxicity. The system provides quantitative outputs used for clinical decision-making regarding patient drug therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Method comparison studies against Abbott TDx predicates showed high correlation for Gentamicin (n=135, r=0.998, slope=0.994) and Tobramycin (n=94, r=0.996, slope=1.009). Within-run imprecision studies (n=80 per level) demonstrated %C.V. values ranging from 1.7% to 6.2% across therapeutic ranges. Stability testing confirmed 24-month shelf-life and 14-day open-container/calibration stability.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid-stable reagents; rate nephelometric inhibition immunoassay principle; mouse-derived antibodies; automated system-based analysis; intended for use with Beckman IMMAGE Immunochemistry System.

## Regulatory Identification

A gentamicin test system is a device intended to measure gentamicin, an antibiotic drug, in human specimens. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of gentamicin overdose and in monitoring levels of gentamicin to ensure appropriate therapy.

## Predicate Devices

- TDx® Gentamicin Reagent ([K904226](/device/K904226.md))
- TDx Tobramycin Reagent ([K904226](/device/K904226.md))
