Intended Use
The Kappa light chains assay is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin bound and free kappa light chains (KAPPA) in serum and in Li-heparin plasma by immunoturbidimetry on Synchron LX20 System. Measurement of type of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
Device Description
The Kappa light chains assay is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin bound and free kappa light chains (KAPPA) in serum and in Li-heparin plasma by immunoturbidimetry on Synchron LX20 System. The determination of Kappa light chains is based on the specific turbidimetric reaction, which occurs between a polyclonal antiserum against human Immunoglobulin Kappa light chains and its corresponding antigen under optimal pH conditions and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The turbidity of the immune complex is proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample.

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

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the Synchron LX20 System. Sentinel Kappa light chains on Synchron LX20 System method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Beckman Kappa light chain (K964260) on IMMAGE nephelometer Analyzer.

Method comparison: Kappa light chains assay on Synchron LX20 System was calibrator material with assigned Kappa Light chains concentration based on definition of Kappa Light chains as Whole IgG content (MW 150000). This comparison showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.985, slope of 0.900 and Y-intercept of 134 mg/dL. Conclusion: Data generated demonstrated an acceptable correlation between the Kappa Light chains assay on the Synchron LX20 System vs. the IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Kappa light chains (K964260) on IMMAGE nephelometer Analyzer.

Precision: Precision studies were conducted using Kappa light chains on the Synchron LX20 System. The found %CV values for 20x2x2 test (day x run x rep) on 6 levels (N=80 for each level) were:
Level 1 (Mean 125.7 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 8.55 mg/dL, CV% 6.8; Between days SD 6.88 mg/dL, CV% 5.5; Repeatability SD 5.08 mg/dL, CV% 4.1.
Level 2 (Mean 476.9 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 14.54 mg/dL, CV% 3.0; Between days SD 12.34 mg/dL, CV% 2.6; Repeatability SD 7.7 mg/dL, CV% 1.6.
Level 3 (Mean 93.5 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 5.63 mg/dL, CV% 6.0; Between days SD 3.33 mg/dL, CV% 3.6; Repeatability SD 3.44 mg/dL, CV% 3.7.
Level 4 (Mean 104.4 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 4.46 mg/dL, CV% 4.3; Between days SD 3.74 mg/dL, CV% 3.6; Repeatability SD 1.55 mg/dL, CV% 1.5.
Level 5 (Mean 651.9 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 25.27 mg/dL, CV% 3.9; Between days SD 22.40 mg/dL, CV% 3.4; Repeatability SD 11.69 mg/dL, CV% 1.8.
Level 6 (Mean 695.0 mg/dL): Total Imprecision SD 16.76 mg/dL, CV% 2.4; Between days SD 11.59 mg/dL, CV% 1.7; Repeatability SD 12.11 mg/dL, CV% 1.7.

Analytical Measurement Range (AMR): The found lower limit of the AMR of Lambda light chains on the Synchron LX20 System was 31.2 mg/dL. The found upper limit of the AMR was 750.13 mg/dL. The claimed AMR will be 35 to 750 mg/dL.

Conclusion for 510(k) Summary: These method comparison, precision and AMR data demonstrate that the analytical performance of the Kappa light chains on the Synchron LX20 System is substantially equivalent to IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Kappa light chain (K964260) on the IMMAGE nephelometer Analyzer.

§ 866.5550 Immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.(b)

Test Description:

The Kappa light chains assay is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the quantitative determination of immunoglobulin bound and free kappa light chains (KAPPA) in serum and in Li-heparin plasma by immunoturbidimetry on Synchron LX20 System. Measurement of type of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Kappa light chains assay is substantially equivalent to Beckman IMMAGE Immunochemistry System Kappa light chain (K964260) on the 1MMAGE nephelometer Analyzer. Both assays yield similar Performance Characteristics.

Similarities:

  • Both assays are used for the quantitative determination of Kappa light chains (free and bound).
  • Both assays are based on immunologic reaction between the Kappa light chains of human immunoglobulin and a specific polyclonal.
  • Both assay detect bound and free Kappa light chains
  • Both assays utilize reagents in R1 and R2 format.
  • Both assays are traceable to ERM-DA 470 (European Reference Material) from BCR (EG Community Bureau of Reference), corresponding to RPPHS (Reference Preparation for Protein in Human Serum).
  • Both assays yield similar clinical results.

Differences:

  • The predicate device assay uses serum only as specimens. Sentinel assay uses serum and Li- heparin plasma.
  • The predicate device quantificates Kappa light chains by nephelometry. Sentinel assay quantificates Kappa light chains by immunoturbidimetry.
  • In the predicate device, Kappa values are given in mg/dL and expressed as "equivalent weight of the intact immunoglobulin molecules (IgG + IgA + IgM = Kappa + Lambda). Thus the Molecular Weight of the Light chains is considered to be 150000 dalton (as the MW of whole IgG).
    • In the Sentinel assay, Kappa values are given in mg/dL and expressed as content of Immunoglobulin light chains. The Molecular Weight of the Light chains is estimated to be 25000 dalton. Therefore, the results on Beckman Immage are about 3 times higher than results on Synchron LX.
