The AxSYM® Cortisol assay is a Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) for the quantitative measurement of Cortisol in human serum, plasma or urine on the AxSYM® System to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders.
Device Story
The AxSYM Cortisol assay is an in vitro diagnostic test performed on the AxSYM System. It uses Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) technology to measure cortisol levels in human serum, plasma, or urine. The process involves automated pipetting of samples, cortisol antiserum, pretreatment solution, and a cortisol fluorescein tracer into a reaction vessel. Cortisol from the sample and the tracer compete for binding sites on the antibody. The system's FPIA optical assembly measures the intensity of polarized fluorescent light. The resulting quantitative measurement aids clinicians in diagnosing and treating adrenal disorders. The assay is intended for use in a clinical laboratory setting by trained laboratory personnel.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Reproducibility evaluated per NCCLS EP5-A protocol over 20 days using three reagent lots and two instruments; total precision %CV ≤ 15.0. Method comparison study performed on 130 serum/plasma and 150 urine specimens against a competitor assay. Serum/plasma correlation (r=0.96) and urine correlation (r=0.98) reported via Passing-Bablok regression. Normal range established using 50 serum and 49 urine specimens from healthy individuals.
Technological Characteristics
Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) technology. Utilizes cortisol antiserum, pretreatment solution, and cortisol fluorescein tracer. Automated processing on the AxSYM System. Quantitative measurement via polarized fluorescent light intensity. No specific materials of construction or connectivity standards provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of cortisol in human serum, plasma, or urine to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders. For prescription use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cortisol (hydrocortisone and hydroxycorticosterone) test system is a device intended to measure the cortisol hormones secreted by the adrenal gland in plasma and urine. Measurements of cortisol are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the adrenal gland.

# Predicate Device
Beckman Access® Cortisol assay
# Device Description
The AxSYM Cortisol assay utilizes Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) The AxSYM Cortisol Reagents and sample are pipetted in the following technology. sequence:
- · Sample and all AxSYM Cortisol Reagents required for one test are pipetted by the sampling probe into various positions of a Reaction Vessel (RV).
- Sample, the Cortisol Antiserum (antibody), pretreatment solution and Solution 4 (Line . Diluent) are pipetted into one well of the RV.
- · Additional pretreatment solution 4 (Line Diluent) are pipetted to the cuvette of the RV.
{1}------------------------------------------------
- · The RV is immediately transferred into the Processing Center. Further pipetting is done in the Processing Center by the Processing Probe.
In the processing center, an aliquot of the predilution mixture and Solution 4 (Line Diluent) are transferred to the cuvette of the RV and the blank intensity of the sample is measured. A second aliquot of the predilution mixture is transferred to the cuvette along with the Cortisol Fluorescein Tracer. Cortisol from the sample and the Cortisol Fluorescein Tracer compete for binding sites on the antibody molecule. The intensity of polarized fluorescent light is measured by the FPIA optical assembly.
## Intended Use
The AxSYM® Cortisol assay is a Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) for the quantitative measurement of Cortisol in human serum, plasma or urine on the AxSYM® System to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal disorders.
## Summary of Performance characteristics
#### Reproducibility:
Precision was determined as described in the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) Protocol EP5-A. Three buffer-based panel members (1, 2, and 3) were assayed, in replicates of two, at two separate times per day, for 20 days. Three reagent lots were tested using two instruments, with a single standard calibration per reagent pack. The total precision was determined by calculating the standard deviation (SD) and percent coefficient of variation (%CV) values for each sample.
The total precision %CV of the AxSYM® Cortisol assay was determined to be less than or equal to 15.0.
#### Comparison Study
A total of 130, endogenous and cortisol-spiked serum and sodium heparin plasma specimens and 150, endogenous and cortisol-spiked urine specimens were tested using the AxSYM Cortisol assay and a Competitor Cortisol assay. Least squares and Passing-Bablok linear regression analyses were performed on all specimens with concentration values within the dynamic range of both assays (0 - 60ug/dL for the both the AxSYM and the Competitor Cortisol assavs).
Least squares linear regression analysis comparing the AxSYM® Cortisol assay to the Beckman Access® Cortisol assay for serum and plasma yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96, a slope of 0.87 and Y-axis intercept of - 0.74. Least squares linear regression analysis for urine vielded a correlation coefficient of 0.79 and Y-axis intercept of - 0.59.
Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis comparing the AxSYM Cortisol assay to the Beckman Access Cortisol assay for serum and plasma vielded a correlation coefficient of
{2}------------------------------------------------
0.96, a slope of 0.93, and Y-axis intercept -2.39. Passing-Bablok linear regression analysis for urine yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.98, a slope of 0.79, and Y-axis intercept -0.48.
# Expected Values:
A study was conducted to establish the normal range for a given population using the AxSYM® Cortisol assay. A total of 50 serum (AM and PM collections) and 49 urine (24 hour collection) specimens from apparently healthy individuals were evaluated using the AxSYM® Cortisol assay.
In the population tested, the 95% confidence limit for the normal range of AM and PM cortisol in the serum specimens was determined to be 4.2 to 38.4 µg/dL (median value 10.8 µg/dL) and 1.7 to 16.6 ug/dL (median value 6.7 ug/dL) respectively. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range.
The 95% confidence limit for the normal range of cortisol in urine specimens was determined to be 32 to 243 µg/24 hour (median value 88 µg/24 hours). It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range.
