Intended Use
ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D is designed for in vitro diagnostic use only for the quantitative measurement of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH vitamin D) in human serum, Na-heparinized plasma or EDTA plasma on TOSOH AIA System Analyzers. The Tosoh ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D is intended as an aid in the determination of Vitamin D sufficiency. The ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator Set is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only for the calibration of the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D assay.
Device Description
The ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D is a one-step delayed competitive enzyme immunoassay which, after sample pretreatment, is performed entirely in the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D test cup. Sample pretreatment reagents (containing sodium hydroxide) disassociate 25-OH vitamin D from its binding proteins in the test sample. 25-OH vitamin D present in the pretreated sample is bound to 25-OH vitamin D-specific monoclonal antibody immobilized on magnetic beads. After that, the enzymelabeled 25-OH vitamin D is added to the reaction mixture. The enzyme-labeled 25-OH vitamin D competes with 25-OH vitamin D for binding to the antibody on magnetic beads in the reaction mixture. After the second incubation, the magnetic beads are washed to remove the unbound enzymelabeled 25-OH vitamin D and are then incubated with a fluorogenic substrate, 4- methylumbellifery phosphate (4MUP). The amount of enzyme-labeled 25-OH vitamin D that binds to the beads is inversely proportional to the 25-0H vitamin D concentration in the test sample. A standard curve is constructed, and unknown 25-OH vitamin D concentrations are calculated using this curve. The ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator Set contains human sera with assigned levels of 25-OH Vitamin D. The calibrator set consists of six calibrators with assigned concentrations of approximately 0, 8, 17, 33, 66 and 135 ng/mL. Each level contains the assigned concentration of the 25-OH vitamin D (described on each vial) with sodium azide as a preservative.

Summary of Performance Studies

Precision was assessed by assaying three levels of unaltered serum specimens (Serum-B and Serum-C) and three spiked serum specimens (Serum-E and Serum-F) on two analyzers and two lots of reagents. Estimates of total and within-run precision were obtained from measurements of 2 replicates in a single run, 2 times a day for 20 non-consecutive days. This equaled a total of 40 runs and 80 determinants per lot. In addition, all of the data were combined to assess the within run, between run, between lot and total precision.
The linearity for ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator was determined, based on the CLSI protocol entitled: Evaluation of the Linearity of Qualitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guidelines (EP6-A). The linearity was measured on the AIA-2000 instrument and has been demonstrated to be linear from 4.0 ng/mL to 120 ng/mL.
The methods comparison study was conducted with reference to the CLSI protocol entitled: Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples: Approved Guideline (EP9-A2). A total of 111 serum specimens in the range of 5.0 -114 ng/mL, as value assigned by the Ghent University ID-LC-MS/MS reference measurement procedure (RMP), were assayed in singleton utilizing the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D assay to assess the ST-AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Assay traceability to the RMP. To demonstrate the bias between the standardized assay (candidate) as compared to the original assay (predicate), one hundred eighty-one (181) unaltered serum specimens were assayed in singleton utilizing the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D assay on the AIA-2000 analyzer using calibrations from ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator (predicate and candidate) and comparing the results.
A reference range study was conducted based on guidance from Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) Protocol C28-A3. To determine the reference range for the ST-AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Assay, a total of 252 serum samples, from 111 females and 141 males, ages 21 to 86 years, were assayed in singleton utilizing the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D assay on the AIA-2000 analyzer. The specimens were obtained from apparently healthy individuals with normal PTH, TSH, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus levels. The samples were collected in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Southern California in March, May, June, and July respectively.

According to the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92, the following information provides sufficient detail to understand the basis for a determination of substantial equivalence.

Device Description:

The ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D is a one-step delayed competitive enzyme immunoassay which, after sample pretreatment, is performed entirely in the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D test cup. Sample pretreatment reagents (containing sodium hydroxide) disassociate 25-OH vitamin D from its binding proteins in the test sample. 25-OH vitamin D present in the pretreated sample is bound to 25-OH vitamin D-specific monoclonal antibody immobilized on magnetic beads. After that, the enzymelabeled 25-OH vitamin D is added to the reaction mixture. The enzyme-labeled 25-OH vitamin D competes with 25-OH vitamin D for binding to the antibody on magnetic beads in the reaction mixture.

After the second incubation, the magnetic beads are washed to remove the unbound enzymelabeled 25-OH vitamin D and are then incubated with a fluorogenic substrate, 4- methylumbellifery phosphate (4MUP). The amount of enzyme-labeled 25-OH vitamin D that binds to the beads is inversely proportional to the 25-0H vitamin D concentration in the test sample. A standard curve is

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Precision

Precision was assessed by assaying three levels of unaltered serum specimens (Serum-B and Serum-C) and three spiked serum specimens (Serum-E and Serum-F) on two analyzers and two lots of reagents. Estimates of total and within-run precision were obtained from measurements of 2 replicates in a single run, 2 times a day for 20 non-consecutive days. This equaled a total of 40 runs and 80 determinants per lot. In addition, all of the data were combined to assess the within run, between run, between lot and total precision. The following results were obtained when testing for precision:

Within-run precision1.3 - 3.9%
Between run precision1.5 - 3.1%
Between day precision2.2 - 4.1%
Total precision2.6 - 4.9%

The precision equals or exceeds the precision obtained with the predicate calibrator traceability for (k)123131.

Linearity:

The linearity for ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator was determined, based on the CLSI protocol entitled: Evaluation of the Linearity of Qualitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guidelines (EP6-A). The linearity was measured on the AIA-2000 instrument and has been demonstrated to be linear from 4.0 ng/mL to 120 ng/mL.

There is no change in linearity from K123131.

Standardization and Traceability

This assay is traceable to the isotope dilution-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-/MS/MS) 25-OH Vitamin D Reference Method Procedure (RMP) that is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2972.

The Tosoh ST-AIA PACK 25 OH Vitamin D assay was originally cleared under 510(k)123131. Tosoh modified the assay by standardizing the cleared Vitamin D assay in accordance with the Vitamin D Standardization and Certification Program (VDSCP).

Please refer to http://ods.od.nih.gov/Research/Vitamin D.aspx for more information on this program.

In accordance with the recommendations of the program, the traceability of the Tosoh ST-AIA PACK 25-OH Vitamin D Calibrator Set was verified by completing a method comparison and bias estimation using the University of Ghent's ID-LC/MS/MS 25-OH vitamin D Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP).

The relationship between the Tosoh ST-AIA PACK 25-OH Vitamin D assay and the ID-LC/MS/MS 25-OH Vitamin D RMP is described below in the method comparison section.

Value Assignment

The values of the primary reference materials were adjusted with correlation study results with the ID-LC-MS/MS method. The values were verified by comparing measured results with those obtained with ID-LC-MS/MS for patient samples at the University of Ghent, in Ghent, Belgium.

The values of the secondary reference material were assigned using the primary reference

Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification

The LoB and LoD of the ST AIA-PACK 25-OH Vitamin D was determined based on the CLSI guideline entitled: Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation; Approved Guideline EP17-A.

The LoB was determined by 60 measurements of 3 different blank specimens. The LoB was the value at the 95th percentile. In this case the LoB was determined to be 1.6 ng/mL.

The LoD was determined by 12 measurements of 5 low level sample range was chosen to be between LoB and 4xLoB and 3 lots of reagents were utilized. The LoD was determined to be 3.2 ng/mL.

The LoQ was determined by measuring a series of low Vitamin D samples that were prepared by diluting a specimen with known Vitamin C concentration at different dilution ratios. The prepared samples were assayed in replicates of eight 98) every day for five (5) days on one instrument for a total of 40 replicates per sample.
