Intended Use

The FastPack® Free T4 Immunoassay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescence immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of free thyroxine (FT4) in human serum. The FastPack® Free T4 Immunoassay is designed for use with the FastPack® Analyzer System. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the diagnosis and management of thyroid dysfunction.

Device Story

FastPack® Free T4 Immunoassay is a competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay used with the FastPack® Analyzer System. Input: 100 µL human serum sample. Process: Sample incubated with antibody solution (10s at 37°C); transferred to paramagnetic particles with bound T3 for competition (2.5 min at 37°C); unbound materials washed; chemiluminogenic substrate (ImmuGlow™) added. Output: Chemiluminescent glow measured by photomultiplier tube (PMT). Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results aid physicians in diagnosing and managing thyroid dysfunction. Benefits include rapid turnaround (7 minutes) and automated processing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Method comparison study (n=131) against Abbott IMx Free T4 showed correlation (r=0.95, y=1.07x - 0.17). Analytical sensitivity is 0.4 ng T4/dL. Precision studies (between-run, between-analyzer, between-lot) reported %CVs ranging from 1.8% to 11.1%. Interference testing performed for bilirubin (40 mg/dL), hemoglobin (1000 mg/dL), and triglycerides (1000 mg/dL).

Technological Characteristics

Competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay. Components: Monoclonal antibody, T3-coupled paramagnetic particles, ImmuGlow™ substrate (Indoxyl-3-phosphate and lucigenin). Detection via Photomultiplier Tube (PMT). Automated processing at 37°C. Connectivity: Internal microcomputer for data reduction. Storage: 2-8°C. Reagents supplied in disposable self-contained packs.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the in vitro quantitative determination of free thyroxine (FT4) in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and management of thyroid dysfunction in patients.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A free thyroxine test system is a device intended to measure free (not protein bound) thyroxine (thyroid hormone) in serum or plasma. Levels of free thyroxine in plasma are thought to reflect the amount of thyroxine hormone available to the cells and may therefore determine the clinical metabolic status of thyroxine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.
