Device Description
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay is designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.
The assays included in this submission, the QUANTA Flash ®2GP1-Domain1 marketed by Inova Diagnostics Inc. (9900 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA 92131) and HemoslL "AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1 marketed by Instrumentation Laboratory (180 Hartwell Road Bedford, MA 01730), are equivalent assays. Therefore all data stated hereafter and referred to as: QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 data is equivalently also valid for HemosIL * AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1.
Recombinant ß2GP1-Domain1 protein is coated onto paramagnetic beads, which are stored lyophilized in the reagent cartridge. The reagent pack is prepared for use in the BIO-FLASH system by pressing down on the grey lid of the reagent pack to pierce the induction seals on the reagent tubes. Once the seals are broken, the beads are rehydrated by adding the entire contents of the vial of resuspension buffer to the bead reagent tube using the transfer pipette supplied with the kit. Only the hole above the bead reagent tube is accessible at this point. The beads are then mixed with the resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down 30 times. This amount of mixing ensures complete resuspension of the beads. The label covering the remaining three reagent holes is now removed, and the reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient serum sample is prediluted 1:10 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a small disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. lsoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(III) coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (urea-hydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti- ß2GP1-Domain1 antibodies bound to the corresponding ß2GP1-Domain1 on the beads.
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the reagent kit, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 kit contains the following materials:

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Sample Matrix Comparison
Seventy-nine matched serum and citrated plasma samples (with different reactivity levels, 13.9% of samples around the cut-off) were tested side-by-side in singleton on QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 and analyzed according to CLSI Guideline EP09/A3.
All paired samples fulfill the acceptance criteria, where 53/60 positive samples showed ≤10% difference, being 12.8% the maximum difference obtained. Therefore, the assay is claimed to be used with serum and citrated plasma.
Precision
The precision of the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 assay was evaluated on 8 serum samples containing various concentrations of anti-Domain1 antibodies in accordance with CLSI EPO5-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline. Samples were run in duplicates, twice a day, for 20 days. Data were analyzed with the Analyse-it for Excel method evaluation software, and within run, between run, between day and total precision were calculated.
Total %CV: 5.6-10.6%.
Plasma Precision Verification
The precision of the QUANTA Flash B2GP1-Domain1 assay using plasma samples was verified using 3 plasma samples containing various concentrations of antibodies in accordance with CLSI EP15-A3, User Verification of Precision and Estimation of Bias; Approved Guideline - Third Edition. Samples were run in replicates of 5, once a day, for 5 days. Data were analyzed with the Analyse-it for Excel method evaluation software, and within run, between day and total precision were calculated.
Total %CV: 2.5-7.8%.
Auto-rerun function and reportable results
Three high positive specimens with results above the analytical measuring range were selected. The samples were run with the Auto-rerun function enabled on the BIO-FLASH. Then the specimens were manually diluted the same way as it happens in the Auto-rerun function (10 fold), and tested on the BIO-FLASH. The results were within the analytical measuring range after autorerun or manual dilution for all specimens. The % recovery values for results obtained with the auto-rerun results compared to the results obtained by manual dilution were between 91.9% and 99% (average 94.9%).
High concentration hook effect
To assess hook effect, measurement signal (RLU) was examined by performing serial dilutions of two high positive samples (with results above the AMR when tested as neat samples). RLU values showed increase with increasing antibody concentrations above the AMR, thereby confirming that high positive specimens above the analytical measuring range do not show hook effect up to 16,060.8 CU (theoretical value calculated using the highest value in the AMR and its dilution factor) in the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay.
Linearity
The linearity of the AMR was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EPG-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approved Guideline. Five serum samples and three plasma samples with various ß2GP1-Domain1 antibody concentrations were diluted with negative serum or plasma in 10% increments (from 0% to 90% negative serum) to obtain values that cover the AMR. The dilutions were assayed in duplicates. Percent recovery of obtained mean results was calculated compared to the expected mean results (based on the dilution factor). Moreover, obtained values of individual replicates were plotted against expected values, and linear regression analysis was performed.
All five serum specimens showed dilution linearity individually and combined. Serum % Recovery Range: 83.9%-113.9%.
All three plasma specimens showed dilution linearity individually and combined. Plasma % Recovery Range: 86.6%-111.9%.
Interference
The interference study was performed according to CLSI EPO7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Five specimens were tested, three serum samples (negative: 10.7 CU; low positive: 55.9 CU; high positive: 456.6 CU) and two plasma samples (negative: 6.6 CU; high positive: 132.4 CU). Interfering substances (bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides and cholesterol) were spiked into every specimen at three different concentrations in 10% of total specimen volume, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay. For Rheumatoid Factor lgM, the samples are diluted to varying extent depending on the desired concentrations of RF as an interferent, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay.
No interference was detected with bilirubin up to 100 mg/dL (recovery: 92.9% to 109.4%), hemoglobin up to 200 mg/dL (recovery: 95.6% to 106.3% or 1.7 CU), triglycerides up to 1000 mg/dL (recovery: 92.5% to 107.7%), cholesterol up to 224.3 mg/dL (recovery: 92.5% to 107.7%), and RF IgM up to 500 IU/mL (recovery: 86.2% to 109.9% or 0.9 CU).
Cross-reactivity
A potential cross-reactivity of the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1 Domain1 CIA with other autoantibodies was evaluated with 613 control samples that were included in the clinical validation study. The anti-ß2GP1 Domain1 positivity rate from total controls was 0.5%.
Based on the results, the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1 Domain1 assay does not show cross-reactivity with autoantibodies that are present in various autoimmune diseases or with antibodies against infectious agents.
Lot to lot comparison
Twenty-six samples with various reactivity levels were tested with three different reagent lots: RP0003 (RP3), RP011 (RP11) and 131001P1 (PP1). The samples covered the total analytical measuring range of the assay. Results were processed by linear regression analysis and bias calculation according to CLSI EPO9-A3, Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline.
All results were within the acceptance limits.
Shelf life stability
Accelerated stability studies were performed for 4 weeks at 37 °C, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3°C. All components tested fulfilled the acceptance criteria, so one year expiration dating was assigned to each component.
Onboard stability - Calibrators
A total of 5 successful calibrations were performed over a 8.5 hour period. Calibrator RLU values remained within the 90-110% range. Moreover, all Controls and patient panel samples ran within their expected range. This supports the claim that calibrators can be used for up to 4 calibrations over an 8 hour period.
Onboard stability - Controls
All controls ran within their respective acceptable ranges for all runs. Moreover, the regression line remained between 85% and 115% at run 15 for both Controls. These results support the claim that controls can be used for up to 15 times, at 10 minutes per use.
Onboard stability - Reagent Cartridge
The in-use (onboard) stability of Domain1 reagent cartridge was set at 60 days.
Real time stability
Results available up to 12 months for reagent cartridge, up to 15 months on Calibrators and Controls. All results to date were within the acceptance limit, therefore one year expiration dating has been verified through real-time studies.
Sample stability
This study has been performed using serum and citrated plasma samples and all results fulfilled the acceptance criteria.
-Samples can be stored at room temperature for up to 48 hours.
-Samples can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 14 days.
-Samples can be frozen and thawed up to 3 times.

QUANTA Lite® ß2GPI IgG ELISA, 510(k) number: K970551
Device description
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay is designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.
The assays included in this submission, the QUANTA Flash ®2GP1-Domain1 marketed by Inova Diagnostics Inc. (9900 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA 92131) and HemoslL "AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1 marketed by Instrumentation Laboratory (180 Hartwell Road Bedford, MA 01730), are equivalent assays. Therefore all data stated hereafter and referred to as: QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 data is equivalently also valid for HemosIL * AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1.
Recombinant ß2GP1-Domain1 protein is coated onto paramagnetic beads, which are stored lyophilized in the reagent cartridge. The reagent pack is prepared for use in the BIO-FLASH system by pressing down on the grey lid of the reagent pack to pierce the induction seals on the reagent tubes. Once the seals are broken, the beads are rehydrated by adding the entire contents of the vial of resuspension buffer to the bead reagent tube using the transfer pipette supplied with the kit. Only the hole above the bead reagent
9
tube is accessible at this point. The beads are then mixed with the resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down 30 times. This amount of mixing ensures complete resuspension of the beads. The label covering the remaining three reagent holes is now removed, and the reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient serum sample is prediluted 1:10 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a small disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. lsoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(III) coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (urea-hydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti- ß2GP1-Domain1 antibodies bound to the corresponding ß2GP1-Domain1 on the beads.
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the reagent kit, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.
The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 kit contains the following materials:

| Units | 1380.4 CU by further diluting it by a factor specified in the assay definition file (10 fold), thereby bringing the measured value within the AMR. The final result will be calculated by the software by taking into account the additional dilution factor. As the highest value that can be measured is 1380.4 CU, the highest value that can be reported is 13804 CU. |
To validate the Auto-rerun function, three high positive specimens with results above the analytical measuring range were selected. The samples were run with the Auto-rerun function enabled on the BIO-FLASH. Then the specimens were manually diluted the same way as it happens in the Auto-rerun function (10 fold), and tested on the BIO-FLASH. The results were within the analytical measuring range after autorerun or manual dilution for all specimens. The % recovery values for results obtained with the auto-rerun results compared to the results obtained by manual dilution were between 91.9% and 99% (average 94.9%).
High concentration hook effect
To assess hook effect, measurement signal (RLU) was examined by performing serial dilutions of two high positive samples (with results above the AMR when tested as neat samples). RLU values showed increase with increasing antibody concentrations above the AMR, thereby confirming that high positive specimens above the analytical measuring range do not show hook effect up to 16,060.8 CU (theoretical value calculated using the highest value in the AMR and its dilution factor) in the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay.
Linearity
The linearity of the AMR was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EPG-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approved Guideline. Five serum samples and three plasma samples with various ß2GP1-Domain1 antibody concentrations were diluted with negative serum or plasma in 10% increments (from 0% to 90% negative serum) to obtain values that cover the AMR. The dilutions were assayed in duplicates. Percent recovery of obtained mean results was

calculated compared to the expected mean results (based on the dilution factor). Moreover, obtained values of individual replicates were plotted against expected values, and linear regression analysis was performed.
-
Recovery is between 80-120%, or ± 4 CU, whichever is greater. Acceptance criteria:
-
For linear regression analysis, slope is between 0.9-1.1, and R2 is ≥ 0.95.
All five serum specimens showed dilution linearity individually and combined.
| Sample | Test Range (CU) | Slope (95% CI) | R2 | % Recovery Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1640.7 to 164.1 | 1.04 (0.98 - 1.09) | 0.99 | 95.1%-106.2% |

| 4 | 81.1 to 8.1 | 1.01 (0.95 - 1.08) | 0.98 | 83.9%-106.7% |
| 5 | 10.3 to 1.0 | 0.96 (0.91 - 1.01) | 0.99 | 90.9%-113.9% |
| Combined | 1640.7 to 1.0 | 1.01 (0.99 to 1.02) | 1.00 | 83.9%-113.9% |
All three plasma specimens showed dilution linearity individually and combined.
| Plasma | Test Range (CU) | Slope (95% CI) | R² | % Recovery Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,357.6 to 135.8 | 1.02 (0.96 - 1.07) | 0.99 | 86.6%- 102.6% |
| 2 | 182.2 to 18.2 | 0.97 (0.93 - 1.01) | 0.99 | 90.1%- 100.0% |
| 3 | 17.7 to 3.5 | 0.96 (0.93 - 0.99) | 1.00 | 98.2%- 111.9% |
| Combined | 1,357.6 to 3.5 | 0.96 (0.94 - 0.98) | 0.99 | 86.6%- 111.9% |
These data demonstrate the linearity of the analytical measuring range (3.6 CU - 1380.4 CU) of the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 assay using serum or plasma samples.
Interference
The interference study was performed according to CLSI EPO7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Five specimens were tested, three serum samples (negative: 10.7 CU; low positive: 55.9 CU; high positive: 456.6 CU) and two plasma samples (negative: 6.6 CU; high positive: 132.4 CU). Interfering substances (bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides and cholesterol) were spiked into every specimen at three different concentrations in 10% of total specimen volume, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay. For Rheumatoid Factor lgM, the samples are diluted to varying extent depending on the desired concentrations of RF as an interferent, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the ß2GP1-Domain1 assay. Recovery of the unit values was calculated compared to control samples. Acceptance criteria for the interference studies were 85%-115% recovery, or ±4 CU difference, whichever is greater.
No interference was detected with bilirubin up to 100 mg/dL (recovery: 92.9% to 109.4%), hemoglobin up to 200 mg/dL (recovery: 95.6% to 106.3% or 1.7 CU), triglycerides up to 1000 mg/dL (recovery: 92.5% to 107.7%), cholesterol up to 224.3 mg/dL (recovery: 92.5% to 107.7%), and RF IgM up to 500 IU/mL (recovery: 86.2% to 109.9% or 0.9 CU).
18
Cross-reactivity
A potential cross-reactivity of the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1 Domain1 CIA with other autoantibodies was evaluated with 613 control samples that were included in the clinical validation study. These samples were from patients with autoimmune diseases that are characterized with disease specific autoantibodies, or from patients with infection. The composition of the cohort and the anti-ß2GP1 Domain1 positivity rate is shown in the Table below:
| Diagnosis | Number of samples | # pos | % pos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crohn's Disease | 104 | 1 | 1.0% |
| Ulcerative Colitis | 94 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Rheumatoid Arthritis | 168 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Osteoarthritis | 49 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Scleroderma | 127 | 2 | 1.6% |
| Hepatitis B virus | 21 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Hepatitis C virus | 10 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Syphilis | 40 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Total controls | 613 | 3 | 0.5% |
Based on the results, the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1 Domain1 assay does not show cross-reactivity with autoantibodies that are present in various autoimmune diseases or with antibodies against infectious agents.
Lot to lot comparison
Twenty-six samples with various reactivity levels were tested with three different reagent lots: RP0003 (RP3), RP011 (RP11) and 131001P1 (PP1). The samples covered the total analytical measuring range of the assay. Results were processed by linear regression analysis and bias calculation according to CLSI EPO9-A3, Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline. Pair-wise comparisons were performed between lot RP3 vs RP11 and lot RP11 vs PP1.
Acceptance criteria and results are in the Table below. All results were within the acceptance limits.
| Acceptance criteria | RP3 vs RP11 | RP11 vs PP1 | PP1 vs RP3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted R for linear regression | $\geq 0.975$ | 0.996 | 0.998 | 0.986 |

Stability
Shelf life
To establish the initial claim for shelf life, accelerated stability studies were performed for 4 weeks at 37 °C, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3°C.
Accelerated stability testing was performed on each of the following sealed components of the QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 to establish initial stability claim:
| • QUANTA Flash® β2GP1-Domain1 Reagent Kit | (1 Lot) |
|---|---|
| • β2GP1-Domain1 beads | (3 Lots) |
| • Resuspension Buffer | (3 Lots) |
| • Calibrators 1 and 2 | (3 Lots) |
| • Low and High controls | (3 Lots) |
Each week a new sealed component was placed in the incubator, and all components were tested at the end of the experiment together with the one that was stored at 5 ± 3℃. The recovery of the measured values was calculated for each time point (compared to those obtained with 5 ± 3°C stored reagent). All calculations were performed by comparing results of sealed components stored at 5 ± 3℃ (control) to those stored at 37 ± 3℃ (test) for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3℃. Linear regression analysis was performed between recovery values and the number of days.
Acceptance criteria for one year preliminary expiration dating:
- Beads, Resuspension Buffer, and Reagent Kit:
With regression analysis, the lower and upper 95% Cl interval of the regression line is between 85% and 115% recovery at day 14, and no individual data point has ≤75% or ≥125% recovery at day 14.
- Controls and Calibrators:
With regression analysis, the lower and upper 95% Cl interval of the regression line is between 90% and 110% recovery at day 14, and no individual data point has ≤80% or ≥120% recovery at day 14.
All components tested fulfilled the acceptance criteria above, so one year expiration dating was assigned to each component
In-use (onboard) stability
Calibrators
Onboard stability claim: 4 calibrations, or 8 hours onboard
During assessment of on-board stability, Calibrators were placed uncapped, onboard the instrument, and calibration was performed altogether five times over 8.5 hours. Controls and a panel of characterized patient specimens were run on each calibration curve.
Calibrators are considered stable if all five calibrations performed in the 8.5 hour period are successful, and average Calibrator RLU recovery values are between 90% and 110% compared to the first use.
20
A total of 5 successful calibrations were performed over a 8.5 hour period. Calibrator RLU values remained within the 90-110% range. Moreover, all Controls and patient panel samples ran within their expected range. This supports the claim that calibrators can be used for up to 4 calibrations over an 8 hour period.
Controls
Onboard stability claim: up to 15 uses, at 10 minutes onboard per use
During assessing on-board stability, 2 vials of each Control were assayed twice a day for a total of 20 runs. The first run was used to establish baseline value, by running each vial in duplicate, and then additional 19 runs were performed, by running each vial in singleton. During runs, the Controls were left uncapped, onboard the instrument for 15 minutes per run. When not in use, the controls were capped, and stored at 5 ± 3°C. Percent recovery of each value was calculated compared to the baseline value. Controls are considered stable when all values run within their established range, and the linear regression line obtained by plotting %recovery values against the number of runs stays between 85% and 15. All controls ran within their respective acceptable ranges for all runs. Moreover, the regression line remained between 85% and 115% at run 15 for both Controls. These results support the claim that controls can be used for up to 15 times, at 10 minutes per use.
Reagent Cartridge
To establish the in-use (onboard) stability of the QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 reagent cartridge, three lots of reagent cartridge were tested with up to 4 serum specimens (with different reactivity levels) along with the Low and High Controls. The specimens were tested periodically up to 64 days. Percent recoveries were calculated compared to the day zero average values, and linear regression analysis was performed by plotting %recovery against the number of days. The claim was established using the following criteria (using the one that is fulfilled first):
-
The stability claim is established at the actual measurement day preceding the day when the 95% confidence interval of the regression line reaches 85% or 115% recovery, or
-
At the actual measurement day preceding the day when 2 data points or ≥2% of the recovery data (whichever is greater) is ≤ 75% or ≥ 125% recovery.
As none of these endpoints were reached during the duration of the in-use (onboard) stability of Domain1 reagent cartridge was set at 60 days.
Real time stability
Real time stability testing has been scheduled to be performed approximately every three months on the reagent cartridge, Calibrators and Controls, to verify the one year expiration that was assigned based on accelerated stability studies. At the of the submission, results were available up to 12 months for reagent cartridge, up to 15 months on Calibrators and Controls.
For reagent cartridge, QC panel samples were tested in singleton at each time point. The QC panel is a group of characterized patient samples with target values, used by the QC Department for reagent release and QC.
21
- Acceptance criteria: results should fall within their respective QC ranges.
Calibrators were used to calibrate a cartridge at each time point. After calibration, the QC panel samples were tested in singleton at each time point.
- Acceptance criteria: results should fall within their respective QC ranges.
Controls were tested in singleton on a calibrated cartridge at each time point. Individual values were compared to the values that were assigned to the Controls at release.
- Acceptance criteria: results should fall within their acceptable ranges as were established at the release of the Controls.
All results to date were within the acceptance limit, therefore one year expiration dating has been verified through real-time studies.
Sample stability
Sample stability claim: -Samples can be stored at room temperature for up to 48 hours.
-Samples can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 14 days.
-Samples can be frozen and thawed up to 3 times.
During the sample stability study, eight (four serum and four plasma samples) samples with varying anti-Domain1 levels have been tested along with Low and High Controls at different time points after being stored at each temperature condition. For the room temperature claim, samples were tested at 0, 8, 24 and 48 hours. For the 2-8°C claim, samples were tested at 0, 1, 2, 3, 7 and 14 days. For the freeze and thaw claim, samples were tested after 0, 1, 2 and 3 cycles. Samples were tested in duplicates at each time point. Percent recoveries were calculated at each time point compared to the time zero average values. Samples are considered stable if the recovery is between 85%-115% for positive samples. Samples are considered stable if the recovery is between 80-120%, or 20% of the cutoff in units (4 CU) for negative samples.
This study has been performed using serum and citrated plasma samples and all results fulfilled the acceptance criteria above, so the following claims have been established for both serum and citrated plasma:
-Samples can be stored at room temperature for up to 48 hours.
-Samples can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 14 days.
-Samples can be frozen and thawed up to 3 times.
