The Bayer ADVIA IMS Lithium (LITH) method is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to measure lithium in human serum and plasma. Such measurements are used as an aid in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
Device Story
ADVIA IMS Lithium method is an in vitro diagnostic assay for measuring lithium concentrations in human serum and plasma; used as an aid in monitoring lithium therapy for bipolar disorder. The assay is performed on the ADVIA IMS chemistry system. The system processes patient samples to provide quantitative lithium measurements within an analytical range of 0.10 - 3.00 mmol/L. Results are utilized by clinicians to assess therapeutic lithium levels and adjust patient treatment plans. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via imprecision studies and method comparison. Imprecision (total CV) ranged from 1.8% to 2.3% for the ADVIA IMS system. Method comparison (N=49) against CDC Flame method yielded a regression equation of Y=1.045X-0.06 (R=0.997) and against ThermoTrace yielded Y=1.116X-0.09 (R=0.997) across a range of 0.3 - 2.8 mmol/L. Interference testing conducted for bilirubin, hemoglobin, and lipids.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent system for lithium measurement. Analytical range: 0.10 - 3.00 mmol/L. Designed for use on the ADVIA IMS chemistry analyzer platform. Utilizes standard clinical chemistry photometric or ion-selective methodology (implied by system type).
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring lithium levels in human serum and plasma in patients undergoing treatment for bipolar disorder.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A lithium test system is a device intended to measure lithium (from the drug lithium carbonate) in serum or plasma. Measurements of lithium are used to assure that the proper drug dosage is administered in the treatment of patients with mental disturbances, such as manic-depressive illness (bipolar disorder).
