Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of cortisol in human serum, plasma, urine, and saliva. The determination of cortisol is used for the recognition and treatment of functional disorders of the adrenal gland.
The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Elecsys Cortisol CalSet is used for calibrating the quantitative Elecsys Cortisol assay on the Elecsys immunoassay analyzers.
(1) The Elecsys Cortisol Assay is a two step competitive immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. Results are determined using a calibration curve that is generated specifically on each instrument by a 2 point calibration and a master curve provided with the reagent bar code.
(2) The Elecsys Cortisol CalSet is a lyophilized product consisting of human serum with added cortisol (synthetic) in two concentration ranges. During manufacture, the analyte is spiked into the matrix at the desired concentration levels.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the Elecsys Cortisol Test System (K070788), a modified device, comparing it to a predicate device (K043175). The key modifications appear to be the addition of new platforms (cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 analyzers) and some refined details regarding sensitivity and expected values for saliva.
Since this is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, the acceptance criteria are related to analytical performance characteristics rather than clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy in the way a medical imaging AI would be. The "study" mentioned isn't a single large clinical trial in the traditional sense, but rather a series of analytical performance evaluations summarized in the comparison tables.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the performance of the predicate device (K043175), with the modified device (K070788) aiming to demonstrate "substantial equivalence." The table below highlights key performance characteristics where data or changes are specifically mentioned. For many features, the modified device performance is simply stated as "Same" as the predicate.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Metric | Predicate Device (K043175) Performance | Modified Device (K070788) Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measuring Range | Lower limit | 1.00 nmol/L or 0.036 µg/dL (defined by LDL) | 1.00 nmol/L or 0.036 µg/dL (defined by LoD) |
| Upper limit | 1750 nmol/L or 63 µg/dL (max of master curve) | 1750 nmol/L or 63.0 µg/dL (max of master curve) | |
| Values below detection |
§ 862.1205 Cortisol (hydrocortisone and hydroxycorticosterone) test system.
(a)
Identification. A cortisol (hydrocortisone and hydroxycorticosterone) test system is a device intended to measure the cortisol hormones secreted by the adrenal gland in plasma and urine. Measurements of cortisol are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the adrenal gland.(b)
