Indications for Use
This kit is intended for the quantitation of kappa free light chains in serum on the Bayer Advia® 1650. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease and connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
Device Story
The Freelite™ Human Kappa Free Kit is an in vitro diagnostic reagent system for use on the Bayer ADVIA® 1650 analyzer. It quantifies kappa free light chains in human serum samples. The device utilizes immunoturbidimetric technology to measure light chain concentrations. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. The output provides quantitative results used by physicians to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of plasma cell dyscrasias and related connective tissue disorders. By measuring free light chain levels, the device aids in clinical decision-making regarding disease progression and treatment efficacy for conditions like multiple myeloma and amyloidosis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on analytical performance and bench testing demonstrating that the assay performance on the Bayer ADVIA® 1650 is equivalent to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Latex-enhanced nephelometric/turbidimetric assay. Reagents consist of polystyrene beads coated with monospecific antibodies. Dimensions/form factor: kit components (reagent, standard, controls). Connectivity: integrated with Bayer ADVIA 1650 Analyzer. Energy source: optical (light scatter). Sterilization: not applicable. Software: embedded analyzer firmware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitation of kappa free light chains in serum to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma, lymphocytic neoplasms, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease, and connective tissue diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An immunoglobulin (light chain specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques both kappa and lambda types of light chain portions of immunoglobulin molecules in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. In some disease states, an excess of light chains are produced by the antibody-forming cells. These free light chains, unassociated with gamma globulin molecules, can be found in a patient's body fluids and tissues. Measurement of the various amounts of the different types of light chains aids in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma (cancer of antibody-forming cells), lymphocytic neoplasms (cancer of lymphoid tissue), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased production of large immunoglobulins), and connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None referenced
# L. Test Principle:
The FREELITE Human Kappa kits and FREELITE human Lambda kits are nephelometric or turbidimetric assays. The test sample is added to a solution containing the appropriate antibody in a reaction vessel. A beam of light is passed through the vessel and as the antigen-antibody reaction proceeds, the light passing through is increasingly scattered as insoluble immune complexes are formed. The
{2}
amount of immune complex formed is proportional to the antigen concentration in the test sample. In nephelometry, the light scatter is monitored by measuring the light intensity at an angle away from incident light beam. A series of calibrators of known antigen concentration are assayed to construct a calibration curve which will be used for determining the antigen concentration of test samples.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
Analytical studies were performed at the Bayer Diagnostics facility at New Bury, Berks, UK.
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Three pooled sera containing free kappa and free lambda at three different levels were used for this study. Each sample was run ten times to generate within run precision. For between run precision the samples were run in singlicate on ten separate assay runs using the same batch of antisera. Results are summarized below:
| Within-run precision | Kappa | | | Lambda | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Mean (mg/mL) | 9.39 | 17.41 | 40.72 | 9.67 | 23.00 | 73.03 |
| SD | 0.61 | 0.48 | 0.95 | 0.61 | 1.48 | 1.33 |
| %CV | 6.51 | 2.72 | 2.34 | 6.28 | 6.42 | 1.81 |
| Between-run precision | | | | | | |
| Mean (mg/mL) | 9.60 | 18.20 | 40.68 | 11.20 | 23.96 | 77.14 |
| SD | 0.48 | 0.35 | 1.05 | 0.79 | 0.69 | 2.28 |
| %CV | 4.98 | 1.91 | 2.59 | 7.07 | 2.90 | 2.96 |
#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Three serum samples with high concentrations of free kappa and free lambda were serially diluted with saline to 1/516 to cover the assay measuring ranges (3.74- 56.2 mg/mL for Kappa, and 7-93.4 mg/mL for Lambda). Each diluted sample was assayed in duplicate and the assays were run at the normal sample dilutions of 1/5 for Kappa and 1/8 for Lambda on Bayer Advia 1650.
| | Kappa | Lambda |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sample 1 | y = 1.0115x + 0.2859
r² = 0.9975 | y = 0.9964x - 1.1026
r² = 0.9981 |
| Sample 2 | y = 0.9993x + 0.0585
r² = 0.9996 | y = 1.0099x - 1.1441
r² = 0.9994 |
| Sample 3 | y = 1.0022x + 0.2726
r² = 0.999 | y = 1.0043x - 0.0966
r² = 0.9999 |
#### c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
No reference standard or method available.
Stability was determined by testing three kit lots of Freelite Kappa and Lambda were tested at 0 and 12 months. At each stage a calibration curve was
{3}
run with kit controls and internal reference standard. Acceptance criteria for control results and internal standard were set to be within ±20% of the assigned value. An acceptable working calibration curve was obtained at each time point tested (0 and 12 months). All the control results obtained were within the acceptable range of ±20% of the assigned value. The results showed stability for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 2-8 °C.
d. Detection limit:
Not performed for purpose of this submission.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference was assessed by spiking high concentrations of triglycerides (0.5%), hemoglobin (1,3 and 5 mg/mL) and bilirubin (200 mg/mL). Saline was added as a control for comparison. All assays were run in triplicate. No significant interference was observed in the case of triglycerides and bilirubin. However, some interference was observed for hemoglobin concentrations at and above 3 mg/mL.
f. Assay cut-off:
Not performed for purpose of this submission.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Comparison of Binding site’s (TBS) Bayer Advia Freelite Kappa and TBS Freelite Kappa BNII assays were performed using 77 serum samples (30 normals, 27 myeloma patient samples and 20 other clinical conditions [not specified] collected from various hospitals in U.K). All samples were stored at -20°C prior to assay. The regression plot gave a gradient close to unity (0.976). A slope of 0.976 and a correlation coefficient r² = 0.9481. The y-intercept was high (19.83 mg/mL) and is said to be due to some myeloma samples. Overall the data show comparability between the current and the predicate Kappa kits. For comparison of TBS Bayer Advia Freelite Lambda and TBS Freelite Lambda BNII kits, the regression plot gave a gradient very close to unity (1.012) and a correlation coefficient r² = 0.9681 and a relatively high y-intercept of 6.264 mg/mL. The results show an acceptable comparison with the predicate device.
b. Matrix comparison:
No comparison was performed since the sample matrices are the same.
3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical Sensitivity:
Not applicable.
b. Clinical specificity:
Not applicable.
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
Not applicable.
4. Clinical cut-off:
Not applicable.
5. Expected values/Reference range:
Not applicable for this submission.

O. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
