Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance Data: All analytical performance studies presented below were performed on the Shenzhen Mindrav BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer. All studies were performed using either serum samples collected in serum separator tubes (SST) or plasma collected in lithium heparin tubes.
Method Comparison Study: Two separate split-sample method comparison studies between the Pointe Scientific Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Set on the Shenzhen Mindray BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer versus the predicate Beckman Coulter Creatine Kinase (CK-Nac) on the Beckman Coulter Olympus AU400 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer were performed on either serum or plasma samples following CLSI EP09-A2 guidelines using one lot of each of the manufacturer's reagents and a single BA-800M Chemistry analyzer and a single AU400 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer.
a. Method Comparison with serum:
N=120, Range (U/L)=9-1188, Standard Deviation=249.5, Regression Analysis=y = 1.041x - 5.2, Correlation Coefficient=0.9991. Samples were deidentified remnant serum samples obtained from a commercial repository.
b. Method Comparison with plasma:
N=123, Range (U/L)=9-1119, Standard Deviation=255.4, Regression Analysis=y = 1.032x - 0.4, Correlation Coefficient=0.9946. Samples were deidentified remnant Plasma samples obtained from a commercial repository.
Precision Studies: Precision studies were conducted in accordance with CLSI EP05-A3. Samples consisted of two commercial quality controls, three serum pools and three plasma pools. Analyte levels of the tested pools approximated Westgard medical decision points for normal and elevated creatine kinase levels. A third level for each matrix was included above the mid-point of the measurable range for each matrix. Testing was performed utilizing two lots of the Pointe Scientific Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Set on the same Shenzhen Mindray BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer. Pools were tested in duplicate twice per day for a total of 20 days (final n per sample = 80).
Linearity/Assay Range Study: A linearity study was conducted according to CLSI EP06-A. A set of 12 serum samples ranging from 9 to 1700 U/L or 12 plasma samples ranging from 8 to 1595 U/L were prepared by admixture of high-level and low-level sample pools. Each admixture was analyzed in duplicate using two lots of reagent on the same Shenzhen Mindray BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer. The linearity study data supports the claimed range of 9 to 1200 U/L.
Detection Capability: The limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and limit of quantitation (LoQ) were determined for both serum and plasma in accordance to CLSI EP17-A2 suggested guidelines on two lots of Pointe Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Sets and a single BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer.
- LoB: Saline used as blank. Sixty measurements (1 sample X 20 repetitions x 3 days each) analyzed across two lots of reagent. Determined to be 2 U/L.
- LoD: Twenty low-level depleted serum samples and twenty depleted plasma samples analyzed in duplicate across two lots of reagent within a single day.
- LoQ: Series of 5 low activity samples each run in 8 duplicates over 5 days. Derived from lowest sample results exhibiting a precision CV of less than 20%.
Dilution Recovery Studies: Studies were performed to provide evidence that values of highly concentrated samples of creatine kinase outside of the claimed measurement range (9-1200 U/L) can be accurately determined through a 10-fold dilution of the sample. A dilution recovery study was undertaken utilizing suggested methods from CLSI EP34-E1. Three contrived high-level samples greater than the Pointe Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Set's measurement range for both serum and plasma were diluted in physiological saline at dilutions of 1:2; 1:4; 1;10 and 1:12 then subsequently analyzed using two lots of the Pointe Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent set on the same Shenzhen Mindray BA-800M Chemistry.
Analytical Specificity (Endogenous Substances): Interference studies were performed following the recommendation of CLSI EP07-A3. Interference testing was conducted using one lot of reagent and one Mindray BA-800M analyzer. All interferents were evaluated in randomly selected serum and plasma samples ranging from 43 U/L to 268 U/L. Interferents were tested across an evenly spaced range of concentrations. Significant interference defined as percent difference greater than 10% from control. Highest concentration at which no significant interference was observed: Bilirubin (Conjugated and Unconjugated) 60 mg/dL, Ascorbic Acid 500 mg/dL, Hemoglobin 500 mg/dL, Intralipid 1382 mg/dL.
Traceability: The Pointe Scientific Creatine Kinase (CK) Assay is traceable to the IFCC reference method.
Stability: Reagent shelf life stability claim is 24 months at 2-8°C. Reagent onboard (in use and refrigerated) stability claim is 29 days.
Expected Values: 30-223 U/L creatine kinase in an adult population (from 200 blood donors in North Texas).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the testing conducted, the Pointe Scientific Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Set is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Olympus Creatine Kinase Reagent (K043202).

| Principle | The kinetic procedure presented
is a modification of Szasz of the
Rosalki technique, which
optimizes the reaction by
reactivation of CK activity with
N-actyl-L-cysteine (NAC).
CK specifically catalyzes the
transphosphorylation of ADP to
ATP. Through a series of
coupled enzymatic reactions,
NADPH is produced at a rate
directly proportional to the CK
activity. The method determines
the NADPH absorbance
increase per min at 340 nm. | This CK procedure is a
modification of the IFCC
method. CK reversibly
catalyzes the transfer of a
phosphate group from
creatine phosphate to
adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
to give creatine and
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
as products. The ATP formed
is used to produce glucose-6-
phosphate and ADP from
glucose. This reaction is
catalyzed by hexokinase (HK)
which requires magnesium
ions for maximum activity.
The glucose6-phosphate is
oxidized by the action of the
enzyme glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G6P-DH)
with simultaneous reduction
of the coenzyme
nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NADP) to give
NADPH and 6-
phosphogluconate. The rate
of increase of absorbance at
340/660 nm due to the
formation of NADPH is
directly proportional to the
activity of CK in the sample |

Detection Capability
The limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and limit of quantitation (LoQ) were determined for both serum and plasma in accordance to CLSI EP17-A2 suggested quidelines on two lots of Pointe Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Sets and a single BA-800M Chemistry Analyzer.
Saline was used as the blank sample for the determination of LoB. Sixty measurements (1 sample X 20 repetitions x 3 days each) were analyzed across two lots of reagent to determine the LoB of the system. Using a non-parametric distribution calculation of LoB, as detailed in CLSI EP17-A2, the limit of blank was determined to be 2 U/L.
For LoD determination, twenty low-level depleted serum samples and twenty depleted plasma samples were analyzed in duplicate across two lots of reagent within a single day. Results were used in conjunction with Limit of Blank results to determine LoD using the equation LoD=LoB +1.625(SDLow Level Samples), per CLSI 17-A2 quidance. Results from one representative lot are presented below.
The LoQ is the lowest amount of creatine kinase that can be determined quantitatively within a defined precision (
