Multi-modality clinical specimen analysis system IVD
Definition
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices consisting of two or more analysers of different analytic modalities [e.g., immunoassay and photometric (clinical chemistry)] intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of chemical and/or biological markers (e.g., drug, hormone, microbial toxin, electrolytes) in a clinical specimen. The assembly may also include a sample preparation instrument, reagent management instrument, data processing and/or data display software. The device operates with minimal technician involvement and complete automation of all procedural steps.
