IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin is a two-site chemiluminescent immunometric assay for use with the IMMULITE 2000 Analyzer and designed for the quantitative measurement of thyroglobulin in serum or heparinized plasma. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in monitoring patients who have undergone thyroidectomy.
IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin is a clinical device for use with the IMMULITE 2000 Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin is a chemiluminescent enzyme-labeled immunometric assay, based on ligand-labeled monoclonal antibody and separation by anti-ligand-coated solid phase. The patient sample, a ligand-labeled anti-thyroglobulin monoclonal antibody and an alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-thyroglobulin polyclonal antibody are simultaneously introduced into the Reaction Tube containing the bead and incubated for approximately 60 minutes at 37℃ with intermittent agitation. During this time, thyroglobulin in the sample forms an antibody sandwich complex which, in turn, binds to anti-ligand on the solid phase. Unbound conjugate is removed by a centrifugal wash; substrate is then added and the Reaction Tube is incubated for a further 5 minutes. The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex - and thus also the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is proportional to the concentration of thyroglobulin in the sample.
The provided document describes the IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin device, an in vitro diagnostic assay, and its comparison to a predicate device. Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a set of predefined thresholds that the device must meet. Instead, it presents a comparison study with a predicate device and reports sensitivity, specificity, and agreement. For the purpose of this response, I will interpret the performance metrics relative to the predicate device as the reported performance, implying that these values were considered acceptable for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
| Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Comparison) | Reported Device Performance (IMMULITE 2000 vs. Kit A) |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement | Not explicitly stated as a target | 93.3% |
| Sensitivity | Not explicitly stated as a target | 100.0% (95% CI: 69.2% - 100%) |
| Specificity | Not explicitly stated as a target | 92.9% (95% CI: 87.3% - 96.5%) |
| Linear Regression (r) | Not explicitly stated as a target | 0.95 |
| Linear Regression Equation | Not explicitly stated as a target | IMMULITE 2000 = 2.29 × Kit A + 0.05 ng/mL |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: 150 samples.
- Data Provenance: The samples were from "patients with Hashimoto's disease, Graves disease, patients who had undergone thyroidectomy, as well as euthyroid individuals." The country of origin is not specified, but the manufacturing and importer details suggest a US and European context. The study appears to be retrospective as it involved collecting samples for comparison.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the test set was established by comparing the IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin device's results against a commercially available predicate device (Kit A - ALPCO's ORGenTec), not against expert consensus on individual cases.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The comparison was an analytical method comparison between two in vitro diagnostic devices, not a clinical adjudication by experts. The results were tabulated based on the respective assays' suggested cutoffs.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- MRMC Study: No. This study is a method comparison for an in vitro diagnostic assay, not an imaging or interpretive device that would typically involve human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study
- Standalone Performance: Yes, the device's performance (sensitivity, specificity, agreement, and correlation) was evaluated independently by comparison to a predicate device. While it's a comparison, it establishes the standalone analytical performance of the new device against an accepted method.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" was established by the measurements obtained from a commercially available predicate device (ORGenTec Thyroglobulin ELISA, referred to as "Kit A"). It is not based on pathology, expert consensus, or clinical outcomes data directly; rather, it uses an established, legally marketed assay as the reference standard.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: The document does not provide information about a "training set." This type of in vitro diagnostic assay typically involves analytical validation and calibration rather than machine learning training sets in the modern sense. The study described is a method comparison for performance validation.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as no separate "training set" is described or implied in the context of this device's validation. Calibration and analytical performance are typically established through internal methods and reference materials during development, but this document focuses on the method comparison study for regulatory submission.

Intended Use of the Device:
IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin is a two-site chemiluminescent immunometric assay for use with the IMMULITE 2000 Analyzer and designed for the quantitative measurement of thyroglobulin in serum or heparinized plasma. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in monitoring patients who have undergone thyroidectomy.
Performance Equivalence:
Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) asserts that the IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin produces substantially equivalent results to other commercially marketed thyroglobulin assays, such as the ORGenTec Thyroglobulin ELISA. Each product is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use for the management of thyroid disease.
Summary and Explanation of the Test:
Thyroglobulin (TG) is a heterogeneous iodoglycoprotein which has a molecular mass of approximately 660.000 daltons. Thyroglobulin is normally synthesized in the follicular cells of the thyroid gland, under the influence of thyrotropin, and represents the precursor to thyroxine and the other iodothyronines.
The expected upper limit of normal for circulating thyroglobulin is approximately 40 to 60 ng/mL, with a median of 5 to 10 ng/mL. Somewhat higher values are encountered in newborns and during the third trimester of pregnancy. Thyroglobulin levels also tend to be elevated in regions of endemic goiter.
The major clinical applications for measurement of this prohormone derive from the fact that functioning thyroid tissue appears to be the only source of circulating thyroglobulin. Accordingly, thyroglobulin determinations have been widely used to complement radioiodine scanning and other techniques (such as ultrasound or immunohistochemical staining) as an aid in identifying the presence or absence of functioning thyroid tissue, or an increase in such tissue relative to an individually established baseline. The differential diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism is a well-established context of use for this application of serum thyroglobulin measurements.
Congenital Hypothyroidism
Thyroglobulin determinations have been used, sometimes in conjunction with ultrasound and radioiodine scanning, to help clarify the type of thyroid defect in previously diagnosed congenital hypothyroidism. Very low or undetectable thyroglobulin levels are expected in infants born without thyroid tissue (thyroid agenesis), whereas higher, but widely varving levels are generally encountered in infants with hypoplastic thyroid glands, ectopic thyroid tissue. dyshormonogenic goiter, congenital TBG deficiency or transient hypothyroidism.

Summary and Explanation of the Test (continued):
Other Applications
Thyroglobulin measurements may also be of value in helping to distinguish subacute thyroiditis from thyrotoxicosis caused by covert administration of thyroid hormones. In the latter event, low levels of thyroglobulin are expected due to thyroid hormone suppression of thyrotropin.
Technological Comparison to Predicate:
IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin is a chemiluminescent enzyme-labeled immunometric assay, based on ligand-labeled monoclonal antibody and separation by anti-ligand-coated solid phase.
The patient sample, a ligand-labeled anti-thyroglobulin monoclonal antibody and an alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-thyroglobulin polyclonal antibody are simultaneously introduced into the Reaction Tube containing the bead and incubated for approximately 60 minutes at 37℃ with intermittent agitation. During this time, thyroglobulin in the sample forms an antibody sandwich complex which, in turn, binds to anti-ligand on the solid phase. Unbound conjugate is removed by a centrifugal wash; substrate is then added and the Reaction Tube is incubated for a further 5 minutes.
The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex - and thus also the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is proportional to the concentration of thyroglobulin in the sample.
The ORGenTec Thyroglobulin assay is an indirect solid phase enzyme immunometric assay based on precoated microplates in strip format (12x8 wells), ideal for smaller runs, or economical batch processing. The Thyroglobulin assay takes place in three separate phases:
Phase 1:
Microplate wells are coated with highly specific anti-TG antibodies. Standards, controls and undiluted patient samples are pipetted into the wells of the first microplate. Sample buffer is added to appropriate wells. Recovery control is added to patient sample for recovery test. Any thyroglobulin molecules present bind to the inner well surfaces. After a 60 minute incubation, the microplate is washed with wash buffer to remove non-reactive serum components.
Phase 2:
An anti-thyroglobulin peroxidase conjugate solution is pipetted into the microplate wells which recognizes the thyroglobulin bound to the immobilized antibody. After a 60 minute incubation, excess conjugate is washed away.

Technological Comparison to Predicate (continued):
Phase 3:
A chromogenic substrate solution containing TMB (3,3' 5,5'-tetramethyl-benzidine) is pipetted into the microplate wells. During a 15 minute incubation changes to a blue color. 1 M hydrochloric acid is added to stop color development.
The amount of color is directly proportional to the concentration of TG present in the original The optical density for each standard may be graphically plotted against the sample. concentration of TG and unknowns extrapolated from the curve. Optical density is read at 450 nm. Bichromatic measurement with a 650 nm reference is recommended.
Method Comparison:
The IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin procedure was compared to Kit A (ALPCO's ORGenTec), a commercially available indirect solid phase enzyme immunometric assay for thyroglobulin, on 150 samples from patients with Hashimoto's disease, Graves disease, patients who had undergone thyroidectorny, as well as euthyroid individuals. The thyroglobulin concentrations of these specimens covered the entire calibration range of the assay. The data were tabulated in reference to the respective assays' suggested cutoffs, with the following results:
| IMMULITE 2000 | N | 150 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kit A | >50 | 10 | 0 | Agreement | 93.3% |
| <=50 | 10 | 130 | Sensitivity | 100.0% | |
| >55 | <=55 | Specificity | 92.9% |
95% Confidence Limits for Relative Sensitivity and Specificity. respectively: 69.2% - 100%, 87.3% - 96.5%.
The same data, excluding one specimen in the above analysis due to its thyroglobulin level exceeding both assays' upper calibration limits, yielded the following result in a linear regression analysis:
IMMULITE 2000 = 2.29 × Kit A + 0.05 ng/mL r = 0.95

Conclusion:
The data presented in this summary of safety and effectiveness is the data that the Food and Drug Administration used in granting DPC substantial equivalence for IMMULITE 2000 Thyroglobulin.
