FDA Enforcement Class II Terminated

iChem VELOCITY Urine Chemistry Strips, REF 800-7212 Product Usage: The iChem VELOCITY automated urine chemistry system is an in vitro diagnostic deice used to automate the urine chemistry analysis profile using iChem VELOCITY Urine Chemistry Strips. The iChem VELOCITY can be used as a stand alone-system, as well as in an iQ200 Series system, a configuration given the proprietary name iRICELL as it is designed to be hardware and software compatible with iQ200 Series systems. It produces quantitative results for specific gravity, semi- quantitative results for glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, urobilinogen, pH, protein, ketones, and ascorbic acid; and qualitative results for nitrites, color, and clarity. iChem VELOCITY strips are intended for use with the iCHEM VELOCITY analyzer. In particular they are not intended for visual reading. The iChem VELOCITY test strips are not intended for visual reading. The iChem VELOCITY is not intended to be used as a Point of Care (POC) analyzer. These measurements are used to aid in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, kidney function anomalies, urinary tract infections, and liver function. Tests performed using the iCHEM VELOCITY are intended for clinical laboratory use and in vitro diagnostic use only.
