Class 2
Intended Use
For the quantitative measurement of acetaminophen in serum and plasma. Measurement of acetaminophen is used in the diagnosis and treatment of acetaminophen overdose toxicity. Excessive amounts of acetaminophen leads to hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. In acute overdosage, acetaminophen can cause severe hepatic damage leading to hepatic failure if untreated.
Device Story
The Acetaminophen L3K® Assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit for the quantitative measurement of acetaminophen in human serum and plasma. The device utilizes an enzymatic colorimetric method involving aryl acylamidase to hydrolyze acetaminophen, followed by an oxidative coupling reaction with 2,5-dimethylphenol to produce a measurable color change. The intensity of the color is proportional to the concentration of acetaminophen in the sample. The assay is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Healthcare providers use the resulting quantitative values to assess the severity of acetaminophen overdose, monitor for potential hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, and guide clinical treatment decisions. The assay provides a rapid diagnostic tool to identify patients at risk of severe hepatic damage or failure, facilitating timely medical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance established via bench testing on the Hitachi 717 analyzer. Precision studies (n=40 runs) showed total CV% between 0.6% and 2.9%. Linearity evaluated across 11 concentrations (slope 0.993). Method comparison against predicate (n=88 samples) yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.9998, slope 1.063, and y-intercept 7.0 μmol/L. Matrix comparison (n=25 matched serum/plasma sets) showed high correlation (r=0.9999). Analytical specificity testing confirmed no significant interference from common endogenous substances or therapeutic drugs.
Technological Characteristics
Two-part liquid reagent system. R1: buffer (pH 8.6), MnCl2, aryl acylamidase, surfactant, preservatives. R2: sodium carbonate buffer (pH 12.2), 2,5-dimethylphenol, surfactant, preservatives. Principle: enzymatic hydrolysis followed by oxidative coupling colorimetry. Standalone diagnostic assay for use on clinical chemistry analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of acetaminophen in serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of acetaminophen overdose toxicity in patients suspected of acetaminophen ingestion.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An acetaminophen test system is a device intended to measure acetaminophen, an analgestic and fever reducing drug, in serum. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of acetaminophen overdose.

## Comparison to Predicate Device:
## Description of the Item Being Compared:
For the In Vitro quantitative measurement
Acetaminophen Enzyme Reagent (R1): buffer (pH 8.6 at 25 ℃ ) 0.2 mmol/L MnCl2 . 4H2O, ≥ 0.9 KU/L Acyl Amidohydrolase, surfactant, preservatives.
Acetaminophen Color Reagent (R2): 0.1 mol/L sodium carbonate buffer (pH 12.2 at 25 ℃ ), 30 mmol/L 8-hydroxyquinolinc-5-sulfonic acid, surfactant, preservatives.
Acetaminophen Standard: buffer (pH 5.0 at 25 ℃ ), 1000μmol/L (15.1 mg/dL) acetaminophen, preservatives.
#### Similaries:
The submission device and the predicate device have the same intended use.
The submission device and the predicate device both use Aryl Acylamidase enzyme method in acetaminophen measurement.
The submission device and the predicate device have the same oxidative coupling method.
# Differences:
The predicate device uses a different chromophore in the oxidative coupling reaction during color development.
The predicate devices uses 8 hydroxyquinoline and the submission device uses 2,5 dimethylphenol.
Comments on Substantial Equivalence:
Testing results demonstrate that the Acetaminophen L3K® Assay is equivalent to the predicate device. Method comparison results provided the following:
#### Serum
Deming regression using NCCLS EP9-A2.
A comparison was made between this method and a similar acetaminophen method using 100 samples in serum ranging from 26 to 2361 @mol/L. The correlation coefficient was 0.9999. Deming regression analysis gave the following equation:
This method = 1.060(reference method) + 4.6 @mol/L
{2}------------------------------------------------
Confidence interval is 95%. Correlation coefficient is 0.9999. The amount of scatter around the estimate regression line is 8.9. The approach is not different from the predicate device.
# Plasma
A comparison was made between serum and plasma using 25 samples ranging from 30 to 2441 umol/L. The correlation coefficient was 0.9999. Linear regression analysis gave the following equation:
This method (plasma) = 0.999 [This method (serum)] -2.2 umol/L
Genzyme Diagnostics P.E.I. Inc. Acetaminophen L3K® Assay is Conclusion: substantially cquivalent in principle and performance to the predicate product.
