The ARK™ Levetiracetam Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of levetiracetam in human serum or plasma on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Levetiracetam concentrations can be used as an aid in management of patients treated with levetiracetam. The ARKTM Levetiracetam Calibrator is intended for use in calibration of the ARK Levetiracetam Assay. The ARK™ Levetiracetam Control is intended for use in quality control of the ARK Levetiracetam Assay.
The ARK Levetiracetam Assay is a homogeneous immunoassay based on competition between drug in the specimen and levetiracetam labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for binding to the antibody reagent. As the latter binds antibody, enzyme activity decreases. In the presence of drug from the specimen, enzyme activity increases and is directly proportional to the drug concentration. Active enzyme converts the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH that is measured spectrophotometrically as a rate of change in absorbance. Endogenous serum G6PDH does not interfere with the results because the coenyzme NAD functions only with the bacterial enzyme used in the assay. The ARK Levetiracetam Assay consists of reagents RI anti-levetiracetam polyclonal antibody with substrate and R2 levetiracetam labeled with bacterial G6PDH enzyme. The ARK Levetiracetam Calibrator consists of a six-level set to calibrate the assay, and the ARK Levetiracetam Control consists of a three-level set used for quality control of the assay.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for ARK™ Levetiracetam Assay
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) | 20% CV with ±15% recovery | 2.0 µg/mL (not explicitly stated if it met the 20% CV & ±15% recovery, but implied as the determined LOQ) |
| Accuracy (Analytical Recovery) | Not explicitly stated, but implied to be acceptable based on percent recovery within reasonable limits. | Range of 94.6% to 105.3% recovery for concentrations 2.0 to 100.0 µg/mL. |
| Linearity | Percent difference ±10% between 1st and 2nd order regressed values, or ±15% below 3.0 µg/mL. | Linear relationship demonstrated between 2.0 and 100.0 µg/mL. All % Differences were within the specified ±10% (for values ≥3.0 µg/mL) and ±15% (for values |
§ 862.3350 Diphenylhydantoin test system.
(a)
Identification. A diphenylhydantoin test system is a device intended to measure diphenylhydantoin, an antiepileptic drug, in human specimens. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diphenylhydantoin overdose and in monitoring levels of diphenylhydantoin to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II.
