| Group | N^a | Median IU/mL | Reference Interval IU/mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adults (≥ 22 years) | 123 | < 1.1 | < 1.2 |
^a Number of samples tested.
As with all in vitro diagnostic assays, each laboratory should determine its own reference interval for the diagnostic evaluation of patient results. Consider these values as guidance only.
8.2 Clinical Performance
The evaluation of the ADVIA Centaur aTgII assay in the detection of autoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) was performed using the ADVIA Centaur XP system in accordance with CLSI Document EP12‑A2.
8.2.1 Results by Specimen Classification
A total of 373 samples were collected from patients presenting to endocrinologists with signs and symptoms of AITD. This population included patients with previously diagnosed Graves' disease and autoimmune thyroiditis who were treatment‑naïve or had been on treatment ≤ 6 months, and female patients who were pregnant or postpartum. Definitive diagnosis of AITD or non-autoimmune thyroid disease (NAITD) was made by the endocrinologist according to American Thyroid Association criteria.
Page 9
Additionally, 302 samples were collected from subjects with other thyroid conditions, disease states, or pregnancy, which may be expected to have elevated thyroid antibodies. For each clinical subgroup, the percent positivity was calculated using an assay cut‑off of 4.5 IU/mL.

§ 866.5870 Thyroid autoantibody immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. A thyroid autoantibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the thyroid autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues). Measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of certain thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's disease (chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis), nontoxic goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland), Grave's disease (enlargement of the thyroid gland with protrusion of the eyeballs), and cancer of the thyroid.(b)
