Intended Use
An Enzyme Immunoassay for the in vitro diagnostic quantitative measurement of free active testosterone in saliva. Measurement of testosterone is used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the male sex hormones (androgens), including primary and secondary hypogonadism, delayed or precocious puberty, impotence in males and, in females hirsutism (excessive hair) and virilization (masculinization) due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, and adrenogenital syndromes.
Device Story
The DRG Salivary Testosterone ELISA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic assay for professional use. It utilizes a competitive enzyme immunoassay principle to measure free active testosterone in human saliva samples. The device consists of a microtiter plate coated with mouse anti-testosterone antiserum, enzyme-conjugated testosterone (horseradish peroxidase), substrate solution (TMB), and stop solution. During the assay, testosterone in the patient sample competes with the enzyme-conjugated testosterone for binding sites on the plate. After incubation and washing, a substrate is added, producing a colorimetric signal measured at 450nm via a calibrated EIA reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the testosterone concentration in the sample. Healthcare providers use the quantitative output to assist in diagnosing and monitoring androgen-related conditions such as hypogonadism, puberty disorders, and virilization. The assay provides a standardized method for assessing hormonal status in clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via method comparison studies (n=99 and n=81) against a commercial LIA method, yielding correlation of 0.904 and R2=0.9866. Analytical sensitivity: 1.857 pg/mL (lowest detectable); functional sensitivity: 7.1 pg/mL. Specificity evaluated via cross-reactivity testing against 12 steroids; minimal cross-reactivity observed. Reproducibility (intra-assay, inter-assay, inter-lot) demonstrated with CVs generally <10%. Linearity established from 7.1 to 4500 pg/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Competitive enzyme immunoassay; microtiter plate coated with mouse monoclonal anti-testosterone antiserum; horseradish peroxidase conjugate; TMB substrate; colorimetric detection at 450nm. Requires calibrated EIA reader. Standards prepared in artificial saliva matrix; traceability to GC-MS methods. No electronic connectivity; standalone manual assay.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic quantitative measurement of free active testosterone in saliva for diagnosis and treatment of androgen-related disorders in males (hypogonadism, puberty disorders, impotence) and females (hirsutism, virilization due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, adrenogenital syndromes).
Regulatory Classification

#### Device Name / Classification:
The device trade name is the DRG SLV Testosterone ELISA having FDA assigned name: Testosterone test system, 21 CFR, 862.1680, categorized as Class I "reserved" medical devices for the Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Toxicology Panel, as Product Code CDZ.
#### Test Principle
The DRG Salivary Testosterone ELISA Kit is based on the competition princible and the microplate separation. An unknown amount of free testosterone present in the sample and a fixed amount of testosterone conjugated with horseradish peroxidase compete for the binding sites of mouse monoclonal testosterone -antiserum coated onto the wells. After one hour incubation the microplate is washed to stop the competition reaction. After addition of the substrate solution the concentration of testosterone is inversely proportional to the optical density measured.
#### Device Intended Use:
An Enzyme Immunoassay for the in vitro diagnostic quantitative measurement of free active testosterone in saliva. Measurement of testosterone is used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the male sex hormones (androgens), including primary and secondary hypogonadism, delaved or precocious puberty, impotence in males and, in females hirsutism (excessive hair) and virilization (masculinization) due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, and adrenogenital syndromes.
#### Device Performance Normal Range Study
In order to determine the normal range of SLV Testosterone, saliva samples from 187 adult male and 188 adult female apparently healthy subjects, ages 21 to 75 years, were collected in the morning and analyzed using the DRG SLV Testosterone ELISA kit. The following range was calculated from this study.
| | Men $\male$ | | | Women $\female$ | | |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------|----|--------------------|--------|----|
| Age Group<br>Years | Range<br>(5 - 95%) | Median | n | Range<br>(5 - 95%) | Median | n |
| 21 - 30 | 47.2 - 136.2 | 92.8 | 42 | 7.9 - 50.4 | 20.8 | 40 |
| 31 - 40 | 46.8 - 106.8 | 73.6 | 37 | <7.0 - 44.8 | 17.1 | 40 |
| 41 - 50 | 36.5 - 82.7 | 58.8 | 34 | <7.0 - 39.4 | 18.3 | 38 |
| 51 - 60 | 19.1 - 89.0 | 44.5 | 36 | <7.0 - 29.8 | 19.2 | 38 |
| 61 - 75 | 12.2 - 68.6 | 38.9 | 38 | <7.0 - 29.3 | 16.0 | 32 |

### Method comparison
A study was performed that evaluated saliva samples from 99 male and female subjects ages 20 to 70 years. The saliva samples were run in duplicate on the DRG test and a commercially available LIA method to determine the concentration of free Testosterone in the samples. A correlation of 0.904 and regression formula of y = 0.9251x - 7.4369 was obtained versus this method.
Another study was performed to further evaluate the substantial equivalence of the DRG SLV Testosterone to the LIA saliva test. The concentration of testosterone in 81 additional saliva samples collected from 40 - 65 year old men and women was determined using DRG SLV testosterone kit and the other method. From this study an R2 = 0.9866 was obtained with the following regression.
Image /page/1/Figure/3 description: This image is a scatter plot titled "DRG Comparison". The x-axis is labeled "LIA" and ranges from 0 to 700, while the y-axis is labeled "DRG ELISA" and also ranges from 0 to 700. The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between the two variables, and a line of best fit is drawn through the data points. The equation of the line of best fit is given as y = 1.0057x - 2.4196.
#### Sensitivity
The lowest analytical detectable level of testosterone that can be distinquished from the Zero Standard is 1.857 pg/mL at the 95 % confidence limit. The lowest functional sensitivity of 7.1 pg/mL at the 95% confidence limit was obtained.

# Reproducibility
## Intra-Assay
The intra-assay variation was determined by 20 replicate measurements of 5 saliva samples within one run. The within-assay variability is shown below:
| Mean (pg/ml) | 144.00 | 256.15 | 81.30 | 35.35 | 12.94 |
|--------------|--------|--------|-------|-------|-------|

| CV (%) | 6.23 | 6.87 | 6.82 | 7.07 | 13.81 |
| n = | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
#### Inter-Assay
The inter-assay (between-run) variation was determined by duplicate measurements of 5 saliva samples over 10 days.
| Mean (pg/mL) | 823.08 | 87.57 | 118.82 | 112.13 | 33.61 |
|--------------|--------|-------|--------|--------|-------|

The Inter-Lot (between-lot) variation was determined by triplicate measurements of five saliva samples in three different kit lots. The between lot variability is shown below:
| | Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4 | Sample 5 |
|--------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| Mean (pg/ml) | 64.5 | 352.89 | 517.65 | 44.00 | 116.54 |
| SD (pg/ml) | 3.77 | 13.44 | 15.01 | 1.53 | 5.00 |
| CV (%) | 5.85 | 3.81 | 2.90 | 3.47 | 4.29 |
| n = | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 |
## Recovery
Recovery of the DRG ELISA was determined by adding increasing amounts of the analyte to six different saliva samples containing different amounts of endogenous analyte. Each sample (native and spiked) was assayed and analyte concentrations of the samples were calculated from the standard curve. The percentage recoveries were determined by comparing expected and measured values of the samples

### Linearity
Six saliva samples containing different amounts of analyte were serially diluted with zero standard and assayed with the DRG ELISA. Three native samples were serially diluted, and 3 samples were spiked with testosterone and then serially diluted up to 1:128. The percentage recovery was calculated by comparing the expected and measured values for testosterone. An assay linearity of 7.1 - 4500 pg/mL has been identified as the usable range. Samples above this range must be diluted and re-run.
