Intended Use
The FREND™ PSA Plus as performed on the FREND™ system, is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic test which measures total Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in human serum and plasma. The NanoEnTek FREND™ PSA Plus is designed for in vitro DIAGNOSTIC USE ONL Y for the quantitative measurement of total Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in human serum, heparinized plasma, and EDTA plasma using the FREND™ System. This device is indicated for the serial measurement of total PSA in serum, heparinized plasma and EDTA plasma to be used as an aid in the management of patients with prostate cancer. The FREND™ PSA Plus is indicated for use in clinical laboratories upon prescription by the attending physician as an aid to clinicians in managing patients with prostate cancer. The information provided from this test may supplement decision-making and should only be used in conjunction with routine monitoring by a physician and the use of other diagnostic procedures. Because of the variability in the effects of various medications used in the treatment of prostate cancer, clinicians should use professional judgment in the interpretation of PSA results as an indicator of disease status.
Device Description
The FREND™ PSA Plus is a rapid fluorescence immunoassay that measures prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum and in lithium heparin and EDTA plasma using the FREND™ system. The FREND™ PSA Plus is intended for use as an aid for prostate cancer management. The FREND™ PSA Plus Test is a single use fluorescence immunoassay designed to quantify the concentration of total PSA in serum and lithium heparin and EDTA plasma samples. The specimen is added by the operator to the sample inlet with a transfer pipet, allowing the appropriate volume of sample (30 µL) to be delivered into the FREND™ PSA Plus Test Cartridge. The Cartridge is then placed into the FREND™ System, which is programmed to begin analysis once the sample has reacted with the reagents. The reaction and analysis time is approximately 6 minutes. The PSA quantification is based on the amount of fluorescence detected by the FREND™ System at the FREND™ PSA Plus Test Cartridge window. A higher level of fluorescence is indicative of a higher PSA concentration. In other words, the magnitude of the fluorescent signal is directly proportional to the amount of total PSA in the sample. The FREND™ System is a bench top fluorescence reader containing a touchscreen user interface. The System has a slot that accepts the FREND™ PSA Plus Test Cartridge (which contains the reagents and sample), and is programmed to analyze the Test when the sample has fully reacted with the on-board in cartridge reagents. Results of the test are displayed on the screen and can be printed on an optional printer through the RS232C interface.

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

Performance Data Summary - Analytical Testing
To determine the analytical validity of the FREND™ PSA Plus, a series of studies have been performed.

  1. Intra-assay, inter-assay and complex imprecision analyses were generated at three sites (NanoEnTek, Inc. facility, CLIA licensed facilities in US). Imprecision was found to be acceptable. Precision data was determined as described in the CLSI protocol EP5-A2. Three clinical samples were assayed in replicates of two at two separated times per day for twenty days using a single lot cartridge. Repeatability and Within-laboratory precision on samples with measured concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 ng/mL was less than 15%. At concentrations >1.0 ng/mL but 8.5%. Disease status for the patients was determined by the physician.
    Concordance FREND™ PSA Plus and TOSOH ST AIA-PACK™ PSA:
    Confidence Intervals are based on 10,000 resamples of the patient data.
    Concordance tables for FREND™ PSA Plus and another FDA Cleared PSA Assay showed similar distribution of progression vs. no progression based on % change in PSA value relative to clinical progression/no progression.
    Based on the 95% confidence intervals, there are no differences between the concordances for the FREND™ PSA Plus assay and TOSOH ST AIA-PACK™ PSA assay. Positive, negative and overall concordances determined on the serial sets of samples for the two methods showed no significant difference in the ability of the assay to mirror the patient clinical status.

Performance Data Summary - Analytical Testing

To determine the analytical validity of the FREND™ PSA Plus, a series of studies have been performed as described below.

    1. Estimates of imprecision: intra-assay, inter-assay and complex imprecision analyses were generated at three sites including the NanoEnTek, Inc. facility as well as at CLIA licensed facilities in the US. Imprecision was found to be acceptable at all three sites on all three lot numbers. The magnitude of the imprecision is not significantly different than that seen with other devices of this type.
      Precision data was determined as described in the CLSI protocol EP5-A2. Three clinical samples were assayed in replicates of two at two separated times per day for twenty days using a single lot cartridge. Results are shown below in table format. All elements of this testing process met the specifications set. Repeatability and Within-laboratory precision on samples with measured concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 ng/mL was less than 15%.

course of their disease (including prostatectomy, radioactive seeds, external beam radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy alone or in combination) were assayed for tPSA with the FREND™ PSA Plus on the FREND™ system. The same samples were also measured for tSA by the predicate PSA method.

For each point to point in a sample serial set, the change in the tPSA concentration was compared to the change in the clinical status of the patients as measured by other laboratory tests, patient interviews, physical examinations, and imaging studies of a variety of types.

These changes in the tPSA marker concentration were defined as significant or not by multiplying the overall %CV of the assay at the midrange (as determined by the test imprecision study) by a factor of 2.5 to define a percentage change difference higher than would be expected because of assay imprecision. For the FREND™ PSA Plus assay with an overall mid-range %CV of 8%, significance was set at a change in excess of 20%. Any increase in value from one time period to the next that did not exceed 20% was logged as ≤ 20% Change. For the predicate method, significant percentage change was set at a change > 8.5%. This was calculated using that method's published overall mid-range CV of 3.4% x 2.5.

Disease status for the patients was determined by the physician. This Disease Status was used to determine Progression or No Progression from a clinical perspective. The first table below shows the progressions and non-progressions as determined for the FREND™ PSA Plus results for all seventy five subjects compared to the Clinical Status changes. The second table shows the same comparison for the other FDA cleared assay. There are a total of 236 such determinations for each assay.
