Intended Use
The DiaSorin LIAISON® XL HCG assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® XL Analyzer for the quantitative determination of total human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG and ßhCG) in human serum for early detection of pregnancy. Total hCG is the measurement of intact and beta-hCG.
Device Description
The method for the quantitative determination of hCG is a sandwich chemiluminescence immunoassay. A specific mouse monoclonal antibody is coated on the magnetic particles (solid phase); another monoclonal antibody is linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). All assay steps and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® XL Analyzer. During the first incubation, hCG present in calibrators, samples or controls binds to the solid phase monoclonal antibody, and subsequently after a washing step in a second incubation the antibody conjugate reacts with hCG already bound to the solid phase. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU, relative light units) and is directly related to hCG concentration present in calibrators, samples or controls.

No
The description focuses on standard immunoassay technology and the analyzer's automated steps, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as an immunoassay system designed for the quantitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human serum for early detection of pregnancy. This is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any condition.

Yes

The device quantitatively determines total human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human serum for early detection of pregnancy, which provides information used to diagnose a medical condition (pregnancy).

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical analyzer (LIAISON® XL Analyzer) that performs the assay steps, including incubations, addition of reagents, and measurement of light signals. This indicates a hardware component is integral to the device's function.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the quantitative determination of total human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG and ßhCG) in human serum for early detection of pregnancy." This involves testing a biological sample (human serum) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state (pregnancy).
  • Device Description: The description details a "sandwich chemiluminescence immunoassay" that uses antibodies and reagents to measure a substance (hCG) in a sample. This is a classic method used in in vitro diagnostics.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies (Method Comparison, Reference Range/Expected Values, Reproducibility/Precision, Dilution Linearity, LoB/LoD/LoQ, Recovery, Interfering Substances) that are standard for evaluating the analytical performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K003178; Roche ELECSYS® HCG +Beta Test) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.

All of these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Method Comparison: One hundred sixty-three (163) serum samples, that spanned the reportable range of the assay, were tested and analyzed by Weighted Deming Regression. The method comparison study was performed according to CLSI EP9-A2 guideline.
Results: Weighted Deming Regression analysis was performed on the results across the range of LIAISON® XL HCG assay yielding agreement of y= 0.973x &0.2233; R2 = 0.9933.

Reference Range/Expected Values: The reference range study was performed according to CLSI Approved Guideline C28-A3. Human serum samples from apparently healthy non-pregnant premenopausal and postmenopausal subjects were tested to determine the reference range for the LIAISON® XL HCG assay. The results are listed below:
