The Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio is an in vitro test using human plasma (K2EDTA) that combines the results of Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42-N Plasma assays into a ratio of pTau 217 to β-Amyloid 1-42 concentrations using the LUMIPULSE G1200 System. The Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio is intended to aid healthcare providers to identify patients with amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease. The Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio is indicated for adult patients, aged 50 years and older, presenting at a specialized care setting with signs and symptoms of cognitive decline. A test result ≤ 0.00370 is a negative result which is consistent with patients who are unlikely to have amyloid pathology. These patients should be investigated for other causes of cognitive decline. A test result ≥ 0.00738 is a positive result which is consistent with patients who are likely to have amyloid pathology. This result does not establish a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other cognitive disorders. A test result between 0.00371 and 0.00737 is an indeterminate result which is consistent with patients who are uncertain to have amyloid pathology. These patients should be considered for further testing. The Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio results must be interpreted in conjunction with other patient clinical information. This test is not intended as a screening or stand-alone diagnostic test.

The Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio is a test that combines the test results of the Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assay and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42-N Plasma assay from the same patient specimen (K2EDTA plasma sample) into a numerical ratio from 0.00000 – 1.00000. The numerical ratio will be compared to the established cutoffs. Lumipulse G pTau 217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio = Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma (results in pg/mL) / Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42-N Plasma (results in pg/mL) = a numerical value targeted up to 1.00000. The Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma and Lumipulse G β-Amyloid 1-42-N Plasma are assay systems including a set of immunoassay reagents for the quantitative measurement of pTau 217 and β-amyloid1-42, respectively, in K2EDTA plasma specimens based on chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) technology. The LUMIPULSE G1200 is an instrument platform that can perform automated chemiluminescence immunoassays of specimens using LUMIPULSE G reagents. The LUMIPULSE G1200 reports the results of the two individual assays separately, and the ratio calculation must be done manually by the operator.
