Device Description

The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II Reagent Pack (test) is performed using the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total β-hCG II Reagent Pack and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total B-hCG II Calibrators on the VITROS 5600 Integrated System.

An immunometric immunoassay technique is used, which involves the reaction of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) present in the sample with a microwell coated with biotinylated Antibody (mouse monoclonal anti-ß-hCG) bound to streptavidin, and a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-labelled antibody conjugate (mouse monoclonal anti-ß-hCG). Unbound materials are removed by washing.
The bound HRP conjugate is measured by a luminescent reaction. A reagent containing luminogenic substrates (a luminol derivative and a peracid salt) and an electron transfer agent, is added to the wells. The HRP in the bound conjugate catalyzes the oxidation of the luminol derivative, producing light. The electron transfer agent (a substituted acetanilide) increases the level of light produced and prolongs its emission. The light signals are read by the system. The amount of HRP conjugate bound is directly proportional to the concentration of hCG present in the sample.

VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II Reagent Pack contains:
1 reagent pack containing:

100 coated wells (antibody, mouse monoclonal anti-ß-hCG, binds >600 mIU hCG/well)
14.4 mL assay reagent (buffer containing mouse serum, bovine serum albumin, bovine gamma globulin and . antimicrobial agent)
19.2 mL conjugate reagent (HRP-mouse monoclonal anti-β-hCG, binds ≥4005 mIU hCG/mL) in buffer with ● bovine serum albumin and antimicrobial agent.

VITROS Total ß-hCG II Calibrators contains:

3 sets of VITROS Total ß-hCG II Calibrators 1, 2 and 3, (freeze-dried, recombinant hCG in human plasma with antimicrobial agent, reconstitution volume 1.0 mL), nominal values 0; 3,000; 14,000 mIUmL (U/L)
24 calibrator bar code labels (8 for each calibrator)

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

Nonclinical Performance

Stability Studies

Long term stability and on-board storage performance was evaluated consistent with methods based on CLSI EP25-A.
Long Term Stability: Four runs have been performed on each of 3 Lots at each time-point, monthly intervals, data supports a 52 week shelf-life.
On-board Stability: Three Lots of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II reagent pack will be stored opened refrigerated for up to 12 weeks. Four runs were performed on each Lot at each time-point for fresh and open, all results were acceptable and support a claim of 6 weeks on-board stability currently.

Precision

Precision was evaluated consistent with CLSI document EP05-A3, Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline-Third Edition. Six (6) precision fluids, covering the analytical measuring interval, were evaluated for performance. For one reagent Lot, two (2) replicates of each precision fluid were run on two (2) occasions per day for twenty (20) days, for a total of 80 data points per fluid.
The data presented are a representation of test performance and are provided as a guideline. Variables such as sample handling and storage, reagent handling and storage, laboratory environment, and system maintenance can affect reproducibility of test results.

Multiple System (Reproducibility) Study Summary

Six precision fluids (RP1-6) made by pooling female serum samples were evaluated for performance according to CLSI guideline EP05-A3. Five (5) replicates of each fluid were run on one (1) occasion per day for five (5) days The samples were run in randomized order on three (3) VITROS 5600 integrated systems.

Detection Capability

Detection studies for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total β-hCG II reagent pack were evaluated consistent with CLSI document EP17-A2, Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Four serums containing no measurable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were used for determining the LoB. The study design was 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day over 5 test days = 20 reps per test fluid x 4 fluids = 80 replicates x 3 lots = 240 total replicates. The representative LoB is 0.00 mIU/mL (IU/L) which supports the claimed LOB of 0.05mIU/mL.

Five samples were used for establishing the LoD, which were targeted at 1 to 5 times the LoB concentration. The LoD samples were neat serum samples containing low levels of endogenous hCG to achieve the approximate target hCG concentrations. The LoD serums were also used to analyze the LoQ via the Precision Profile method. The Total Error Analysis for LoQ was determined by testing a separate set of four LoQ fluids which were then analyzed to calculate the LoQ via the Total Error method. All samples were run using three reagent lots on one VITROS 5600 System, 6 replicates per run, 2 runs per day over 5 test days = 60 reps per fluid x 5 fluids = 300 replicates x 3 lots = 900 total replicates.
The representative Limit of Detection (LoD) for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total B-hCG II reagent pack is 0.21 mIU/mL (IU/L) determined consistent with CLSI document EP17. This supports the claimed LoD of 0.70 mIU/mL (IU/L). The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total 8hCG II reagent pack was designed to be less than or equal to the currently claimed low end of the measuring range of 2.39 mIU/mL (IU/L) at 20% CV. The representative LoQusing the Total Error approach was determined to be 2.32 mIU/mL (IU/L), consistent with CLSI document EP17. The claimed LoQ has been verified at 2.39 mIU/mL (IU/L).

Linearity

Linearity was established in accordance with the CLSI guideline EP06 2nd edition. In a study with two series, one across the entire range (pools 1a to 10a) and one in the lower range of the assay (pools 1b to 10b). 10 replicates of pools 1a/16 and 10a/10b, and 5 replicates of pools 2a/2b to 9a/9b were run on one VITROS 5600 Integrated System. Results support linearity from 1.51 mIU/mL (IU/L) to 15695 mIU/mL (IU/L).

Matrix Comparison

Serum and plasma (Lithium-Heparin and K2-EDTA) specimen matrices were determined to be equivalent. The results met the acceptance criteria for the comparison between serum and plasma (Lithium-Heparin and K2-EDTA) specimens spanning the expected measuring interval. Based on the analysis, serum and plasma (Lithium-Heparin and K2-EDTA) are suitable specimen matrices for use with the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II reagent pack.

Analytical Specificity - Known Interferents

The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II reagent pack was screened for interfering substances at hCG concentrations of approximately 5.00 mIU/mL (IU/L), 50.00 mIU/mL (IU/L), and 10,000 mIU/mL (IU/L) following CLSI EP07 and EP37. Of the compounds tested, none was found to cause a bias of >10%.

Cross-Reactivity

The cross-reactivity of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total β-hCG II reagent pack was evaluated by adding the following test substances to a sample containing no hCG.
Each potential cross-reactant was spiked into hCG pools at hCG concentrations of approximately 25 mIU/mL Test substances were spiked at a volume that constituted no more than 5% of the volume of the test sample.

Expected Values

The adult reference interval was validated following CLSI document EP28-A3c Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory: Approved Guideline — Third Edition.
The distribution of hCG values from 180 normal healthy non-pregnant blood donors showed equivalency to the expected values claim published in the Instructions for Use of the current VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II Reagent Pack, therefore the current distribution of results for healthy non-pregnant subjects will be transferred to the updated VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total ß-hCG II Reagent Pack.

Method Comparison

Accuracy was evaluated consistent with CLSI guideline EP09c Measurement Procedure Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples. 3rd ed. Human serum samples were obtained from certified vendors and tested neat. A total of 135 samples analyzed. The samples were tested in singleton using one reagent lot and one VITROS 5600 Integrated System.
The plots and table show the results of a method comparison study using patient serum samples analyzed on the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total β-hCG II reagent pack compared with those analyzed on the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total {}-hCG II reagent pack (GEM.1076) on the VITROS 5600 Integrated System. The relationship between the 2 methods was determined by Weighted Deming regression.

Detection Capability

Detection studies for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total β-hCG II reagent pack were evaluated consistent with CLSI document EP17-A2, Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Four serums containing no measurable human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were used for determining the LoB. The study design was 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day over 5 test days = 20 reps per test fluid x 4 fluids = 80 replicates x 3 lots = 240 total replicates. The representative LoB is 0.00 mIU/mL (IU/L) which supports the claimed LOB of 0.05mIU/mL.

Five samples were used for establishing the LoD, which were targeted at 1 to 5 times the LoB concentration. The LoD samples were neat serum samples containing low levels of endogenous hCG to achieve the approximate target hCG concentrations. The LoD serums were also used to analyze the LoQ via the Precision Profile method. The Total Error Analysis for LoQ was determined by testing a separate set of four LoQ fluids which were then analyzed to calculate the LoQ via the Total Error method. All samples were run using three reagent lots on one VITROS 5600 System, 6 replicates per run, 2 runs per day over 5 test days = 60 reps per fluid x 5 fluids = 300 replicates x 3 lots = 900 total replicates.

The representative Limit of Detection (LoD) for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total B-hCG II reagent pack is 0.21 mIU/mL (IU/L) determined consistent with CLSI document EP17. This supports the claimed LoD of 0.70 mIU/mL (IU/L). The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total 8hCG II reagent pack was designed to be less than or equal to the currently claimed low end of the measuring range of 2.39 mIU/mL (IU/L) at 20% CV. The representative LoQusing the Total Error approach was determined to be 2.32 mIU/mL (IU/L), consistent with CLSI document EP17. The claimed LoQ has been verified at 2.39 mIU/mL (IU/L).

Linearity

Linearity was established in accordance with the CLSI guideline EP06 2nd edition. In a study with two series, one across the entire range (pools 1a to 10a) and one in the lower range of the assay (pools 1b to 10b). 10 replicates of pools 1a/16 and 10a/10b, and 5 replicates of pools 2a/2b to 9a/9b were run on one VITROS 5600 Integrated System. Results support linearity from 1.51 mIU/mL (IU/L) to 15695 mIU/mL (IU/L).
