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

Precision: Three samples representing low, medium and high cell levels of CD3+ and CD4+ were used for these studies. Each sample was run 21 times to collect intra-assay precision data. The range of CVs for CD3+ cells, observed for all samples, was 4.9% (count of 3602 cells/μL) to 6.2% (count of 549 cells/μL). The range of CVs for CD4+ cells, observed for all samples, was 4.7% (count of 1996 cells/uL) to 6.9% (count of 369 cells/uL).

Dilution Recovery: Recovery was within +/_ 10% of expected value for levels tested from 0 to 1693 cells/pl. for CD3+CD4+ cells and 0 to 3923 cells/uL for CD3+ cells.

Method Comparison: We have selected a 70 samples for this study representing a wide range of results. For CD3+ the range is 1 cell / uL to 2463 cells / µL. For CD4+ the range is 0 cells / µL to 1947 cells / µL. There is strong correlation between Thermo Scientific Cyto-Cal™ Count Tubes and the predicate BD Trucount Tubes in all of these ranges. The correlation coefficient (R value) for both CD3+ and CD4+ to reference method is > than 0.99.

Carryover Study: Carry-over from a high cell count sample to a low cell count sample is less than 5%.

Sample Stability: Cells count are within +/-10% of first test for up to 72 hours at 2 to 8 °C for blood samples, and for up to 12 hours at 2 to 8 ℃ for antibody labeled and lysed blood samples.

Reagent Shelf-Life Stabilities: Real time stability studies demonstrate the reagent is stable for at least 16 months at room temperature. Stability studies will continue for 24 months.

External Evaluation: The external site studies included a wide panel for fluorescent labeled monoclonal antibody (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19, and CD56). The commonly used cell types including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD16+CD56+, CD19+, and CD4/CD8 ratio are tabulated and compared to the reference BD Trucount method and Thermo Scientific Cyto-Cal™ Count Tubes method All of the method comparison results show a strong correlation between Thermo Scientific Cyto-Cal™ Count Tubes and the predicate BD Trucount Tubes in all of these cell types. The correlation coefficients (rvalue) meet the acceptance criteria.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCEDURE

Procedures described herein apply to immunophenotyping of lymphocytes. In the procedure, the cell typing monoclonal antibody reagent and whole blood is added directly to the Cyto-Cal™ Count Tube. The dried pellet in the tube dissolves, releasing a known number of fluorescent beads. During analysis, the absolute number (cells/μL) of positive cells in the sample can be determined by comparing cellular events to bead events. If you are manually performing data analysis, simply divide the number of positive cellular events by the number of bead events, and then multiply by the Cyto-Cal Count bead concentration. The cell typing or immunophenotyping of lymphocytes is effectively used in monitoring immune response or in determining a particular cell count.
