The Dimension® LOCI® Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Flex® reagent cartridge (TSHL) and Dimension® LOCI® Free Thyroxine Flex® reagent cartridge (FT4L) assays were cleared under K081074 and K073604, respectively. The components of the cleared assays were modified to reduce biotin interference. The modified Assays are comprised of the following components: Dimension® LOCI® Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Flex® reagent cartridge (TSHL): prepackaged liquid reagents in a plastic eight-well cartridge. Wells 1-2 contain Biotinylated TSH antibody (7.5 µg/mL mouse monoclonal), wells 3-4 contain TSH antibody coated Chemibeads (200 µg/mL mouse monoclonal), and wells 5-6 contain Streptavidin Sensibeads (1400 µg/mL recombinant E. coli). Wells 1-6 contain buffers, stabilizers and preservatives. Wells 7-8 are empty. Dimension® LOCI® Free Thyroxine Flex® reagent cartridge (FT4L): prepackaged liquid reagents in a plastic eight-well cartridge. Wells 1-2 contain Streptavidin Sensibeads (225 µg/mL recombinant E. coli), wells 3-4 contain T3 Chemibeads (200 µg/mL), and wells 5-6 contain FT4 Biotinylated antibody (50 ng/mL mouse monoclonal). Wells 1-6 contain buffers, stabilizers and preservatives. Wells 7-8 are empty. Test Principle: Both devices use a homogeneous chemiluminescent immunoassay based on LOCI® technology. For TSHL, it's a sandwich immunoassay where sample is incubated with biotinylated antibody and Chemibeads to form bead-TSH-biotinylated antibody sandwiches. Sensibeads are added and bind to the biotin to form bead-pair immunocomplexes. Illumination at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from Sensibeads which diffuses into Chemibeads, triggering a chemiluminescent reaction. The resulting signal is measured at 612 nm and is a direct function of TSH concentration. For FT4L, it's a sequential immunoassay where sample is incubated with biotinylated antibody. T3 Chemibeads are added and form bead/biotinylated antibody immunocomplexes with the non-saturated fraction of the biotinylated antibody. Sensibeads are then added and bind to the biotin to form bead pair immunocomplexes. Illumination at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from Sensibeads which diffuses into the Chemibeads, triggering a chemiluminescent reaction. The resulting signal is measured at 612 nm and is an inverse function of FT4 concentration.

The FREND™ Free T4 Test System is a rapid indirect competitive immunoassay for the quantitation of free thyroxine (FT4) in human serum and lithium heparinized plasma specimens using the FREND™ Free T4 system. Measurements of free thyroxine (FT4) are used in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders. The FREND™ Free T4 Test System is intended for use in clinical laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The test is not intended for point-of-care facilities.

The FREND™ Free T4 is a rapid fluorescence immunoassay that measures Free T4 in human serum and in lithium heparinized plasma using the FREND™ Free T4 Test System. The FREND™ Free T4 is a single use fluorescence immunoassay designed to quantify the concentration of free thyroxine in serum and lithium heparinized plasma samples, The FREND™ Free T4 test is a two-step competitive immunoassay with gold nanoparticles labeled with T4-specific monoclonal anti-T4- antibody (mouse), T3-BSA labeled with fluorescent nanoparticles, and fluorescence detection by the FREND™ System. The FREND™ Free T4 Test utilizes microfluidic technology and detects immunecomplexes bound to Free T4. A 70ul Sample is first incubated during Step 1 for five minutes at 37 degrees C in the Free T4 Gold AB Tube with monoclonal anti-T4 antibody conjugated with gold nanoparticles. In Step 2, 35 ul of the mixture from Step 1 is manually loaded into the inlet of the cartridge, where it hydrates a T3-BSA fluorescent bead conjugate and migrates along the test strip. During migration the bound Free T4 in the sample and the fluorescent bead conjugates of T3-BSA compete to form antigenantibody complex in the test zone. Unbound T3-BSA fluorescent conjugates flow through and bind to the anti-T4 antibody that is fixed on the surface in the reference zone. Step 2 takes approximately four minutes after which the fluorescent signals in the test and reference zones are measured. Free T4 quantification is based upon the ratio of the intensity of the test and reference zones. A lower ratio of fluorescence is indicative of a higher Free T4 concentration, in other words, the maqnitude of the fluorescence ratio is inversely proportional to the amount of Free T4 in the sample. The free T4 detection range of the FREND™ Free T4 Test System is 0.4 to 6.0 ng/dL. Results are determined via a lot-specific calibration curve which is generated by the manufacturer using a six-point calibration determined from values averaged from five replicates at each level. The established curve is uploaded to the FREND™ System via the Free T4 Code-chip and is valid until the lot expiration date. The established curve is saved in the code-chip and valid until the expiration date of the test cartridge lot. The FREND™ Free T4 Test cartridge is a disposable plastic device that houses the reagents and contains a port or opening (inlet) where the sample is applied. Once the sample is applied, it will mix with the reagents and travel towards the detection area via capillary action. The FREND™ System is a portable, automated FREND™ cartridge reader. The FREND™ System is based on quantitative immunoassay technology capable of quantifying single or multiple analytes by measuring laser-induced fluorescence in a single-use disposable reagent cartridge. The FREND™ cartridge utilizes micro-fluidics lateral flow technology where the analyte of interest in the sample forms immune complexes while moving through the fluidics pathway in the cartridge. The concentration of the analyte of interest in an unknown sample is calculated using the ratio of the fluorescent intensity of the test zone and the reference zone. The FREND™ System is a bench top fluorescence reader containing a touch screen user interface. The System has a slot that accepts the FREND™ Free T4 Test Cartridge (which contains the reagents and sample), and is programmed to analyze the Test when the sample has fully reacted with the on-board in-cartridge reagents. Results of the test are displayed on the screen and can be printed on an optional printer. The FREND™ System software controls the graphical user interface, communication with hardware, database manaqement and data analysis. The software also controls the functions of the mechanical components including the motor, laser, printer control and acquisition of data from the sensor. The user can set the time and date and enter patient ID through the graphic user interface. The user cannot make any changes to the software.

VIDAS® FT4 is an automated quantitative enzyme immunoassay for use on the instruments of the VIDAS® family, for the determination of free thyroxine (FT4) in human serum or plasma (lithium heparin), using the ELFA technique (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay). Measurement of free thyroxine is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of thyroid disorders. The assay principle combines a one-step enzyme immunoassay competition method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA). The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and pre-dispensed in the sealed reagent strips. All of the assay steps are performed automatically by the instrument. The reaction medium is cvcled in and out of the SPR several times. The sample is collected and transferred into the well containing an alkaline phosphataselabeled anti-T4 antibody (conjugate). The antiqen present in the sample and the T4 antigen coated on the interior of the SPR compete for the available sites on the specific anti-T4 antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. During the final detection step, the substrate (4-Methyl-umbellifery) phosphate) is cvcled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a fluorescent product (4-Methyl-umbelliferone) the fluorescence of which is measured at 450 nm. The intensity of the fluorescence is inversely proportional to the concentration of free thyroxine present in the sample. At the end of the assay, results are automatically calculated by the instrument in relation to the calibration curve stored in memory, and then printed out.
