7. Summary of Nonclinical Performance

a. Precision

A 20-day precision study was conducted to evaluate the precision performance of the ARCHITECT B12 assay using plasma panels. This study was based on guidance from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document EP5-A2. Low, Medium, and High lithium heparin plasma panels were tested. Testing was performed using 2 lots of reagents, and 1 lot each of calibrators and controls on 2 ARCHITECT i 2000sR instruments. The 3 plasma panel levels were each tested in replicates of 3, twice daily (a minimum of 2 hours apart), on each of 20 days, using 2 reagent lots on 2 ARCHITECT i 2000sR instruments.

The calibration curve generated for each reagent lot was stored on each instrument for the duration of the study.

The data demonstrated acceptable total (within-laboratory) imprecision of < 10% CV using lithium heparin plasma panels on the ARCHITECT B12 assay.

Both the serum (cleared in K110579) and plasma demonstrated acceptable total imprecision of ≤ 10% CV at all levels tested.

The results are summarized in the following table.

b. Tube Type

A study was performed based on guidance from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document EP7-A2.

Plastic serum and lithium heparin plasma separator tubes were used to collect blood from 63 unique donors. Each of the 63 pairs of samples was tested in the same manner, in replicates of at least two using the ARCHITECT B12 assay on one ARCHITECT i 2000sr instrument using 1 lot each of ARCHITECT B12 Reagent Kit, Calibrators, and Controls. The lithium heparin plasma separator blood collection tube was evaluated by comparing the concentrations of specimens collected in that tube type (evaluation tube type) against the concentrations of specimens from the same donors collected in plastic serum tubes (control).

The distribution of % differences across all 63 donors was tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test and a significance level of 0.0100. The data were not normal (p-value=0.0055), so the median and the nonparametric two-sided 95% confidence limits around the median were calculated. The lower and upper confidence limits were 2.2% and 4.7%, respectively. Since the limits fell entirely within the .+/-10.0% criteria, the null hypothesis was rejected, demonstrating that the difference between tube types was within the maximum allowable difference of 10.0%.

% Differencea
Evaluation Tube TypeNo. of DonorsShapiro-Wilk p-ValueMean/MedianbSDc95% CI

The Passing-Bablok regression was performed on samples by regressing the mean concentration values of the lithium heparin tube type versus the mean concentration of the serum tube type.

{9}------------------------------------------------

In addition, individual replicates from the lithium heparin plasma separator tube were analyzed separately (First Replicates, Second Replicates and Third Replicates). The First, Second, and Third Replicate groups were regressed separately against the mean of the serum plastic control tube values using Passing-Bablok Regression. The summary is provided below.

Lithium heparin plasma separatorThird replicate60173 - 1866212 - 19590.997-0.141.02

The data support the use of lithium heparin plasma separator blood collection tube type with the ARCHITECT B12 assay.

8. Conclusion

The data presented for the use of lithium heparin plasma as a sample type in the pre-market notification demonstrates that the ARCHITECT B12 assay performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Abbott ARCHITECT B12 assay (K110579).
