^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.

Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity

Clinical sensitivity and specificity were determined in accordance with CLSI Document EP12‑A2. The results were calculated by comparing the ADVIA Centaur aTgII assay result to the clinical diagnosis. A total of 373 samples were collected from patients presenting to endocrinologists with signs and symptoms of AITD. Definitive diagnosis of AITD or NAITD was made by the endocrinologist according to American Thyroid Association criteria. Estimates of sensitivity for subjects with Graves' disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, and both combined, along with specificity for NAITD subjects are presented in the table below.

8.10 High Dose Hook Effect

High anti-Tg concentrations can cause a paradoxical decrease in the RLUs (high-dose hook effect). In this assay, no hook effect was observed up to 50,000 IU/mL.

9. Reagent Stability

  • The shelf-life stability of the ADVIA Centaur aTgII reagents (ReadyPack and calibrator) and ADVIA Centaur aTgII ancillary reagent was determined to be 24 months.

  • The on-board stability of the ADVIA Centaur aTgII reagents (ReadyPack and calibrator) was determined to be 28 days on the ADVIA Centaur XP system with a calibration interval of 28 days.

  • The on-board stability of the ADVIA Centaur aTgII calibrators on the ADVIA Centaur XP system was determined to be 8 hours.

  • The on-board stability of the ADVIA Centaur aTgII ancillary reagent on the ADVIA Centaur XP system was determined to be 28 days.

  • The ADVIA Centaur aTgII calibrators when reconstituted were determined to be stable at 2-8°C and room temperature for 60 days and 8 hours, respectively.

9.1 Sample Stability

  • Serum and plasma (EDTA, lithium heparin, and sodium heparin) are the recommended sample types for this assay.

Sample stability studies were conducted using SST, K2 EDTA Plasma, and Lithium Heparin tube types.

  • Separated samples are stable for up to 8 hours at room temperature, and for up to 7 days at 2–8°C.

  • Separated samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for up to 6 months. Avoid more than 2 freeze thaw cycles.

10. Conclusions

Based on the results of comparative testing, ADVIA Centaur Anti-Thyroglobulin II (aTgII) assay is substantially equivalent in principle and performance to the currently marketed predicate device, the Beckman Coulter Access Thyroglobulin Antibody II (TgAbII) assay cleared under 510(k) K112933.

§ 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)
