ABBOTT AXSYM 3RD GENERATION TSH ASSAY

{0}------------------------------------------------ K981060 ## APR 2 9 1998 ## 510(k) Summary Abbott AxSYM® 3rd Generation TSH ## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting a Substantially Equivalent Determination The following information as presented in the Premarket Notification [510(k)] for the Abbott AxSYM® 3rd Generation TSH constitutes data supporting a substantially equivalent determination. AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH is a Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA) for the quantitative determination of TSH in human serum or plasma. AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH is calibrated with Abbott AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH Calibrators. Abbott AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH Controls are assayed for the verification of the accuracy and precision of the AxSYM System. Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated between the AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH assay and the AxSYM Ultrasensitive hTSH II assay. The intended use of both assays is for the quantitative determination of TSH in human serum or plasma. Both assays are automated, in vitro immunoassays that use antibodies specific for TSH. The fluorescent signal measured by both assays is directly related to the concentration of TSH in the sample. The Least Squares regression analysis between these two assays, using 921 specimens, yielded a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.977, slope of 1.033 (95% confidence interval of 1.018, 1.047), and Y-axis intercept of 0.538 uIU/mL (95% confidence interval of 0.387, 0.690). In conclusion, these data demonstrate that the AxSYM 3rd Generation TSH assay is as safe and effective as, and is substantially equivalent to, the AxSYM Ultrasensitive hTSH II assay.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ರ್ಥ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510 (k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
