This category includes in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits designed to measure lactate levels in clinical specimens such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid. These kits use a spectrophotometry method to detect lactate, which helps assess tissue perfusion, diagnose conditions like sepsis or lactic acidosis, and monitor treatment response.
Devices in this category are regulated as IVD medical devices and are typically supplied as reagent kits containing all necessary components for testing. They are intended for use in laboratory settings by trained personnel and are not intended for point-of-care use unless specifically designed and validated for that purpose.
