Special controls and performance standards #### Substantial Equivalence Claim III. - General equivalency claim A. The ability to monitor analyte-specific biochemical reactions in dry film and other formats is widely recognized and has gained widespread acceptance for use in chemistry assays. CO2 in vitro diagnostic products, in both dry film and other formats, are already on the U.S. market. CO2 products include those that use dry film using a PEP carboxylase coupled enzyme reaction and reflectance photometry technology. #### B. Specific equivalency claim This CARESIDE™ CO2 test is substantially equivalent in intended use and clinical performance to the currently marketed Vitros CO2 DT slides for the quantitative measurement of total CO2 on the Vitros DT 60 II / DTE II system. The CARESIDE CO2 utilizes the principle of reflectance photometry and the Vitros DT 60 II / DTE II system utilizes differential potentiometry. Name of Predicate Devices: Johnson and Johnson's (formerly Eastman Kodak, Inc.): Vitros CO2 DT Slides for Johnson and Johnson's (formerly Eastman Kodak) Vitros DT 60 II / DTE II system and Vitros ECO2 DT Slides for Johnson and Johnson's Vitros Chemistry Analyzers.

Device Description CARESIDE™ CO2 cartridges are used with the CARESIDE *Analyzer*™ to measure total CO2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimens. The CARESIDE™ CO2 cartridge, a single use disposable in vitro diagnostic test cartridge, delivers a measured volume of serum or plasma to a dry film to initiate the measurement of total CO2 The film cartridge (patent pending) contains all reagents necessary to measure total CO2. - Explanation of Device Function A. Each CARESIDE™ CO2 cartridge consists of a CO2-specific multi-layer reagent film mounted in a plastic base with a hinged lid. The user introduces the specimen into the cartridge Sample Well, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the CARESIDE Analyzer™. Once loaded, the CARESIDE Analyzer™ scans the cartridge barcode, brings the cartridge and the contained specimen to 37°C, and spins the cartridge to move the sample from the Sample Well into the cartridge channels and chambers where separation of cells, if present, occurs. 8.5 microliters of sample remains in the metering channel. Any excess sample flows into an overflow well. The 8.5 microliters of sample is automatically dispensed onto the multi-layer reagent film. The spreading and substrate layer distributes the specimen uniformly. The color intensity of the resulting yellow dye, as measured by the amount of reflected light at 425 nanometers, directly relates to the total CO2 concentration of the specimen. Test Reaction Sequence: Carbon dioxide in the form of bicarbonate ion combines with phosphoenolpyruvate in a reaction catalyzed by PEP-carboxylase (PEPC) to form oxaloacetate (OAC) and inorganic phosphate (PO4-3) as shown below. Oxaloacetate reacts with thio-NADH (t-NADH) and hydrogen ion (H) in a malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzed reaction to form L-malate and thio-NAD+ (t-NAD*). $$\begin{aligned} \text{HCO}_3^- + \text{PEP} & \xrightarrow{\text{PEPC} \atop \text{M} \text{O}^-} \text{OAC} + \text{PO}_4^{\cdot 3} \\ \text{OAC} + \text{t-NADH} & + \text{H}^+ \xrightarrow{\text{MDH}} \text{L-Malate} + \text{t-NAD}^+ \end{aligned}$$ As the cartridges spin, a photodiode measures reflectance of light emitted by a wavelength-specific light emitting diode (LED) over a fixed time. The analyzer uses the reflectance measurements and the lot-specific standard curve to calculate total carbon dioxide concentration. #### B. Test Summary Carbon dioxide is a gas, and as such occurs in very low concentrations in this form in the blood. Bicarbonate ion (HCO3) as well as other ions are in equilibrium with CO2 in the blood. At physiological pH, CO2 occurs in the largest concentration while carbonate and carbamino compounds are present in such low quantities that they are generally not considered separately. The bicarbonate ion concentration in blood is related to the total carbon dioxide concentration and the pH according to the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. The bicarbonate ion/carbonic acid pair represents the most important buffer system of plasma. Clinical conditions characterized as metabolic disturbances of acid-base balance are classified as primary disturbances in HCO5 ion concentration. Primary disturbances in the total dissolved CO2 are characterized as respiratory disturbances. Changes in the bicarbonate ion, dissolved CO2 concentration, or both occur as a result of various compensatory mechanisms attempting to re-establish the normal ratio of bicarbonate ion to total dissolved CO2. {2}------------------------------------------------ #### V.
