Intended Use
The AxSYM® Cortisol assay is a Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) for the quantitative measurement of Cortisol in human serum, plasma or urine on the AxSYM® System to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders.
Device Description
The AxSYM Cortisol assay utilizes Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) technology. The AxSYM Cortisol Reagents and sample are pipetted in the following sequence: - Sample and all AxSYM Cortisol Reagents required for one test are pipetted by the sampling probe into various positions of a Reaction Vessel (RV). - Sample, the Cortisol Antiserum (antibody), pretreatment solution and Solution 4 (Line Diluent) are pipetted into one well of the RV. - Additional pretreatment solution 4 (Line Diluent) are pipetted to the cuvette of the RV. - The RV is immediately transferred into the Processing Center. Further pipetting is done in the Processing Center by the Processing Probe. In the processing center, an aliquot of the predilution mixture and Solution 4 (Line Diluent) are transferred to the cuvette of the RV and the blank intensity of the sample is measured. A second aliquot of the predilution mixture is transferred to the cuvette along with the Cortisol Fluorescein Tracer. Cortisol from the sample and the Cortisol Fluorescein Tracer compete for binding sites on the antibody molecule. The intensity of polarized fluorescent light is measured by the FPIA optical assembly.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard immunoassay technology (FPIA) and statistical analysis of results, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay designed to measure Cortisol levels to aid in diagnosis and treatment, not to actively treat a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used "to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders." This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical assay process involving pipetting reagents and samples into a Reaction Vessel (RV), transferring the RV to a Processing Center, and using an FPIA optical assembly to measure polarized fluorescent light. This indicates a hardware-based system, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for the "quantitative measurement of Cortisol in human serum, plasma or urine... to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders." This clearly indicates the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide information for medical diagnosis and treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details the process of analyzing human serum, plasma, or urine samples using a specific immunoassay technology (FPIA) and reagents. This is a typical description of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device with human specimens (serum, plasma, urine) and comparing the results to a predicate device, which is standard practice for validating IVDs.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" which is another Cortisol assay, further confirms that this device is intended to perform a diagnostic test on human samples, similar to existing IVD devices.

All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Reproducibility:
Precision was determined as described in the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) Protocol EP5-A. Three buffer-based panel members (1, 2, and 3) were assayed, in replicates of two, at two separate times per day, for 20 days. Three reagent lots were tested using two instruments, with a single standard calibration per reagent pack. The total precision was determined by calculating the standard deviation (SD) and percent coefficient of variation (%CV) values for each sample.
The total precision %CV of the AxSYM® Cortisol assay was determined to be less than or equal to 15.0.

Comparison Study:
A total of 130, endogenous and cortisol-spiked serum and sodium heparin plasma specimens and 150, endogenous and cortisol-spiked urine specimens were tested using the AxSYM Cortisol assay and a Competitor Cortisol assay. Least squares and Passing-Bablok linear regression analyses were performed on all specimens with concentration values within the dynamic range of both assays (0 - 60ug/dL for the both the AxSYM and the Competitor Cortisol assavs).

Least squares linear regression analysis comparing the AxSYM® Cortisol assay to the Beckman Access® Cortisol assay for serum and plasma yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96, a slope of 0.87 and Y-axis intercept of -0.74. Least squares linear regression analysis for urine vielded a correlation coefficient of 0.79 and Y-axis intercept of -0.59.

Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis comparing the AxSYM Cortisol assay to the Beckman Access Cortisol assay for serum and plasma vielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96, a slope of 0.93, and Y-axis intercept -2.39. Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis for urine yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.98, a slope of 0.79, and Y-axis intercept -0.48.

Expected Values:
A study was conducted to establish the normal range for a given population using the AxSYM® Cortisol assay. A total of 50 serum (AM and PM collections) and 49 urine (24 hour collection) specimens from apparently healthy individuals were evaluated using the AxSYM® Cortisol assay.

In the population tested, the 95% confidence limit for the normal range of AM and PM cortisol in the serum specimens was determined to be 4.2 to 38.4 µg/dL (median value 10.8 µg/dL) and 1.7 to 16.6 ug/dL (median value 6.7 ug/dL) respectively. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range.

The 95% confidence limit for the normal range of cortisol in urine specimens was determined to be 32 to 243 µg/24 hour (median value 88 µg/24 hours). It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range.
