Guidance Document
Device: In Vitro Diagnostic Urea Nitrogen Test System
-
Device Description
Common Name (s): Urea Nitrogen Test System
Class: II
Classification Panel: Clinical Chemistry (75)
Product Codes:
CDL, Berthelot Indophenol, Urea Nitrogen
LFP, Conductivity Rate, Urea Nitrogen
CDS, Diacetyl-Monoxime, Urea Nitrogen
JGZ, O-Phthalaldehyde, Urea Nitrogen
CDQ, Urease and Glutamic Dehydrogenase, Urea Nitrogen
CDN, Urease, Photometric, Urea NitrogenRegulation numbers,: 21 CFR 862.1770
A urea nitrogen test system is a device intended to measure urea nitrogen (an end-product of nitrogen metabolism) in whole blood serum, plasma, and urine.
-
Indications for Use
Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases. The intended patient population may be adult, pediatric, and neonatal, while the environment of use may be a hospital (e.g., respiratory care or laboratory department), urgent care situations (e.g., intensive care unit, surgery, emergency department), or bedside/near patient care situations.

Specific Performance Characteristics
-
PreClinical/Laboratory/In Vitro Studies
The following eight performance characteristics (#1 Method Comparison - #8 Expected Values) should be included in the submission. Data should be provided that supports the use of the device with the specimen type(s) that are claimed to be appropriate for analysis:
- Method Comparison
-slope, intercept
-correlation coefficient
-range of samples tested
-standard error of the estimate
-bias and bias plot
-number of samples tested
-plot of the data - Precision
-within-run (assay, and
-between-run (assay), or
-total
-mean(s), standard deviation (s), and coefficient(s) of variation - Linearity
-recovery, dilution, etc.
- Sensitivity
-minimum detection limit, or
-analytical sensitivity - Interferences
-endogenous, e.g., bilirubin, hemoglobin, lipids, etc.
-exogenous, e.g., drugs, anticoagulants, etc. - Stability Summary
-calibration interval
-quality control interval
-quality control materials
-calibration materials - Software
-validation information
-certification information - Expected Values
-literature reference (s), reference interval, or
-population study, reference interval,
-medical decision point(s) and/or
-critical decision point(s)
- Method Comparison
-
Clinical Studies
A method comparison study as described above, comparing performance with that of the predicate device as well as an appropriate reference method should be conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. A statistically significant sample of patients from a population representing the proposed intended use should be included in the study, spanning the appropriate assay range.
-
Total Measurement Error at selected decision points should be calculated and reported.

Labeling Considerations:
Refer to 21 CFR 809.10.
Other: For a multi-purpose instrument used for diagnostic purposes refer to 21 CFR 809.10 (b) (1),(2),(6),(14),and (15).
