Intended Use
The Biostride Free T4 EIA Test is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative estimation of free T4, thyroxine, in human serum.
Device Story
The Biostride Free T4 EIA Test is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay (EIA) used in clinical laboratory settings to quantify free thyroxine (T4) in human serum. The assay utilizes a colorimetric microtiter plate format. Patient samples and rabbit anti-T4 are added to microtiter wells coated with goat anti-rabbit IgG. Following incubation, a T4-HRP tracer is added. After further incubation and washing, a TMB/H2O2 substrate is introduced, producing a blue color. The reaction is stopped with 2N HCl, resulting in a yellow color. The intensity of the color, measured via a microtiter plate reader at 450 nm, is inversely proportional to the concentration of free T4 in the sample. Healthcare providers use these quantitative results to assist in the assessment of patient thyroid function.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation compared the Biostride test against the Abbott AxSYM using 171 patient serum samples. Results showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.96, a slope of 0.91, and an intercept of 0.13 ng/dL. Precision (CVs) for Biostride was 3-6% and reproducibility was 4-9%. Sensitivity (defined as 2 SD from the 0.0 g/dL calibrator) was 0.08 ng/dL for Biostride versus 0.04 ng/dL for the predicate. Specificity to D-T4 was approximately 100% for both.
Technological Characteristics
Colorimetric microtiter plate enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Components include goat anti-rabbit IgG coated wells, rabbit anti-T4, T4-HRP tracer, and TMB/H2O2 substrate. Detection via microtiter plate reader at 450 nm. Quantitative measurement based on inverse proportionality between absorbance and analyte concentration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative estimation of non-protein bound thyroxine (Free T4) in human serum to assist in the assessment of thyroid function.
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.

Biostride Free T4 EIA Test, Test kit to determine the quantitative 3. Device Name: estimation of Free T4 in human serum
4. Device Classification: Class II, 75-CEC, CFR (862.1695)
5. Device description: The Biostride Free T4 EIA Test Kit is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative estimation of freeT4, thyroxine, in human serum. This Free T4 test is a colorimetric microtiter plate enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
6. Intended Use: The Biostride Free T4 EIA Test is an in vitro enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative estimation of free T4, thyroxine, in human serum.
7. Substantial Equivalence: The Biostride FT4 ElA was compared to the Abbott AxSYM.
The Biostride Free T4 test is a colorimetric microtiter plate enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the estimation of Free T4 in human serum. Patient samples and rabbit Anti T4 are pipetted into a microtiter well coated with Goat-Anti-Rabbit IgG. After a 20 minute incubation T4-HRP tracer is added and incubated for 20 minutes, followed by asyash with tap water. The formation of blue color is obtained with the addition of the TMB/H2O2 substrate. 2N HCI is added to stop the enzyme/substrate reaction, giving a yellow color. Color intensity is measured as absorbance on a microtiter plate reader at 450 nm. The absorbance value is indirectly proportional to the concentration of Free T4 in the sample. The Abbott AxSYM is an MEIA, Microparticle Enzyme immunoassay, which combines human serum containing T4 and anti-T4 sheep microparticles. The T4 bound microparticles are transferred and irreversibly bound to a glass fiber matrix. The Abbott system uses an alkaline phosphatase conjugate tracer and a 4-Methylumbelliferyl Phosphate substrate. The Abbott method measures a fluorescent product, which is indirectly proportional to the concentration of Free T4. The Abbott system is an automated procedure including sample processing, testing and reporting.

{1}------------------------------------------------
Both products have the same intended use, i.e., enzyme immunoassays for the quantitative estimation of Free T4 in human serum. Both test systems use several standard curve calibrators to interpret patient samples and report the result in ng/dL.
The products demonstrated similar performance characteristics and excellent correlation of results.
171 patient samples were evaluated to compare the results of the two tests. The correlation results were as follows:
| Intercept | Slope | Correlation Coefficient(r) |
|------------|-------|----------------------------|
| 0.13 ng/dL | 0.91 | 0.96 |
Performance Characteristics were similar in the two products as follows:
- Biostride demonstrated precision CVs of 6%, 3% and reproducibility CVs of I 9%. 5% and 4%. The Abbott system reported precision CVs between 2.10-9.9%
- 피 The sensitivity defined as the concentration of 2 SD from the 0.0 g/dL calibrator was 0.08ng/dL for Biostride and 0.04ng/dL for AxSYM.
- 피 Specificity to D-T4 was similar at approximately 100% for both products
## Conclusion
The Biostride Free T4 EIA Test Kit and the Abbott AxSYM are substantially equivalent in performance characteristics, intended use, and assay principle.
