Intended Use
The Nichols Advantage™ Chemiluminescence Thyroid Peroxidase Autoantibodies Immunoassay is intended for use on the Nichols Advantage™ Specialty System for the quantitative determination of Thyroid Peroxidase Autoantibodies (TPOAb) in human serum as an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease.
Device Story
The Nichols Advantage™ Anti-TPO is a two-site chemiluminescence immunoassay designed for use on the Nichols Advantage™ Specialty System. It utilizes recombinant TPO to bind specific Anti-TPO autoantibodies in human serum samples. The system employs streptavidin-coated magnetic particles and streptavidin-biotin separation technology. Following a 30-minute incubation at 37°C, the system measures chemiluminescence to quantify TPOAb levels. The device is intended for clinical laboratory use by trained personnel. Results are provided to healthcare providers to assist in the diagnosis and clinical assessment of autoimmune thyroid disease, enabling patient management decisions based on autoantibody concentration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance characteristics compared to predicate: intra-assay precision (%CV 3.9-5.4% vs 7.5-10.7%), inter-assay precision (%CV 9.1-14.3% vs 9.1-9.7%), and recovery (94-107% vs 92-113%). Method comparison showed 94.1% agreement with the predicate. Specificity testing confirmed no cross-reactivity with anti-thyroglobulin or thyroglobulin. High dose hook effect observed at > 4,000 IU/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Two-site chemiluminescence immunoassay. Solid phase: streptavidin-coated magnetic particles. Reagent: recombinant TPO. Energy source: automated analyzer system. Connectivity: integrated with Nichols Advantage™ Specialty System. Incubation: 30 minutes at 37°C. Sample volume: 15 uL (1:30 dilution).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of Thyroid Peroxidase Autoantibodies (TPOAb) in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease.
Regulatory Classification
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.
