• 5'-Nucleotidase 5-AMP-Phosphate Release (Colorimetric Test) (FDA Code: CED / 862.1520)

A 5'-nucleotidase test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme 5'-nucleotidase in serum and plasma. Measurements of 5'-nucleotidase are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases and in the differentiations between liver and bone diseases in the presence of elevated serum alkaline phosphatase activity.

• Albumin Reagent Set

• Assayed and Unassayed Single (Specified) Analyte Controls (FDA Code: JJX / 862.1660)

A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.

• Bile Acids Cholyglycine Radioimmunoassay (FDA Code: KWW / 862.1177)

A cholylglycine test system is a device intended to measure the bile acid cholylglycine in serum. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver disorders, such as cirrhosis or obstructive liver disease.

• Calibrators

• Cholesterol (Single reagent)

• Creatinine

• Enzymatic Esterase-Oxidase, Cholesterol (FDA Code: CHH / 862.1175)

A cholesterol (total) test system is a device intended to measure cholesterol in plasma and serum. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders.

• Fructosamine Reagents

• Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase Colorimetric Method (FDA Code: JPZ / 862.1360)

A gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and isoenzymes test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) in plasma and serum. Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and isoenzymes measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases such as alcoholic cirrhosis and primary and secondary liver tumors.

• Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase Kinetic Method (FDA Code: JQB / 862.1360)

• Glucose Oxidase, Glucose (FDA Code: CGA / 862.1345)

A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

• Lactate Dehydrogenase NAD Reduction/NADH Oxidation (FDA Code: CFJ / 862.1440)

A lactate dehydrogenase test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase in serum. Lactate dehydrogenase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases such as acute viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and metastatic carcinoma of the liver, cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction, and tumors of the lung or kidneys.

• Lactate Reagents

• Nadh Oxidation/Nad Reduction (FDA Code: CKA / 862.1030)

An alanine amino transferase (ALT/SGPT) test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme alanine amino transferase (ALT) (also known as a serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase or SGPT) in serum and plasma. Alanine amino transferase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain liver diseases (e.g., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis) and heart diseases.

• Plasma Free Hgb Kits

• Primary Calibrator (FDA Code: JIS / 862.1150)

A calibrator is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to establish points of reference that are used in the determination of values in the measurement of substances in human specimens. (See also 862.2 in this part.)

• Total Protein Biuret Method (FDA Code: CEK / 862.1635)

A total protein test system is a device intended to measure total protein(s) in serum or plasma. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow as well as other metabolic or nutritional disorders.
