Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
The Access Thyroglobulin assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of thyroglobulin levels in human serum and plasma, using the Access Immunoassay Systems. This device is intended to aid in the monitoring for the presence of local and metastatic thyroid tissue in patients who have had thyroid gland ablation (using thyroid surgery with or without radioactivity) and who lack serum thyroglobulin antibodies.
Device Story
Access Thyroglobulin assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for quantitative thyroglobulin measurement in human serum/plasma. Device operates on Beckman Coulter Access Immunoassay Systems, including the UniCel Dxl 800. System processes samples to detect thyroglobulin levels; results aid clinicians in monitoring for residual or metastatic thyroid tissue in post-ablation patients. Assay is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings. Modification involves expanding platform compatibility to the Dxl 800 system; reagents, calibrators, and formulations remain unchanged from the predicate. Clinical benefit includes standardized monitoring of thyroid cancer recurrence risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison, precision, and analytical sensitivity studies were conducted to compare performance on the UniCel Dxl 800 system versus the Access 2 system. The assay met all established acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay. Components include reagent packs, calibrators, substrate, and wash buffer. Operates on automated Access Immunoassay Systems. No changes to materials or technical specifications from predicate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring local and metastatic thyroid tissue in patients post-thyroid gland ablation (surgery +/- radioactivity) who lack serum thyroglobulin antibodies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.

## 510(k) Summary
## (Page 2 of 2)
# Description of the Modification to the Legally Marketed Device
The modification to the Access Thyroglobulin reagents is to add a new instrument platform, the Beckman Coulter UniCel" Dx1 800 Access® Immunoassay System, to the family of Access Immunoassay Systems. The Dxl System is a new model within the same model series of Access Immunoassay Systems manufactured and distributed by Beckman Coulter, Inc. The Dxl System was cleared for marketing by FDA on January 28, 2003, (K023764).
The DxI uses the same Access Thyroglobulin reagents and calibrators, packaged the same as for the Access 2 System. The formulations of the substrate and wash buffer used with the Access Thyroglobulin assay are unchanged. There are no changes to the intended uses, technical specifications or final performance specifications and claims for the assay.
## Supporting Data
In order to demonstrate that the Access Thyroglobulin assay on the Dxl system is substantially equivalent to the Access Thyroglobulin assay on the Access 2 system. method comparison, precision and analytical sensitivity studies were conducted. The Access Thyroglobulin assay met the established acceptance criteria for method comparison, precision and analytical sensitivity.
## Conclusion
The information provided in this submission supports a substantial equivalence determination, and therefore, 510(k) premarket notification clearance of the Access Thyroglobulin Reagents on the UniCel Dxl 800 Access Immunoassay Systems.

Dear Ms. Weist:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
