Indications for Use
The S-Test Inorganic Phosphorous Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of inorganic phosphorous concentration in serum or heparin plasma using the S40 Clinical Analyzer. Measurements of phosphorus (inorganic) are used in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders, including parathyroid gland and kidney diseases, and vitamin D imbalance. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The S-Test Uric Acid Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of uric acid concentration in serum or heparin plasma using the S40 Clinical Analyzer. Uric acid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders, including renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, starvation or other wasting conditions, and of patients receiving cytotoxic drugs. This test is intended for use in clinical laboratories or physician office laboratories. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
S-Test IP and UA reagent cartridges are used with the S40 Clinical Analyzer for in vitro diagnostic testing. IP reagent uses ammonium molybdate to form molybdenum blue; UA reagent uses uricase and peroxidase to form a reddish-purple pigment. Photometric analysis of these colorimetric reactions provides quantitative concentration values. Operated by laboratory personnel in clinical or physician office settings. Output assists clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring renal, metabolic, and parathyroid conditions. Benefits include rapid, automated diagnostic assessment of patient serum or heparin plasma samples.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (22-day and 5-day POL site studies) showed IP total CV 1.2-4.0% and UA total CV 0.7-3.5%. Accuracy correlation studies (n=95 for IP, n=183 for UA) against comparison methods yielded correlation coefficients of 0.976 (IP) and 0.974 (UA). Sensitivity (detection limits) reported as 1.2 mg/dL for IP and 1.4 mg/dL for UA.

L. Test Principle:
S Test IP – Inorganic Phosphorous in a sample under acidic conditions reacts with ammonium molybdate to form an unreduced phosphomolybdate complex. The rate of increase in absorbance at 600 nm/700 nm is directly proportional to phosphorous concentration in the sample.
S Test UA – Uric Acid in a sample is oxidized by uricase to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes and condenses 4-aminoantipyrine and n-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulopropyl)-m-touluidine under the influence of peroxidase to produce a reddish-purple pigment. The rate of increase at absorbance at 600/800 nm, is directly proportional to the uric acid concentration in the sample.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity across the assay range was confirmed by testing commercial linearity standards with 5 levels each with known concentrations of IP and UA. Each level was tested in replicates of four. Results are presented below:

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sample | Assigned Value mg/dL | Measured Value mg/dL | % Recovery |
| 1 | 0.71 | 0.90 | +0.2 mg/dL |
| 2 | 2.84 | 3.35 | +0.5 mg/dL |
| 3 | 5.67 | 5.70 | 100.5% |
| 4 | 7.09 | 7.63 | +0.5 mg/dL |
| 5 | 9.93 | 9.93 | 100% |
| Linear regression y = 0.9739x + 0.366, r² = 0.9928 | | | |
| Uric Acid | | | |
| 1 | 0.92 | 0.90 | 98% |
| 2 | 2.76 | 2.70 | 98% |
| 3 | 4.22 | 3.48 | -0.7 mg/dL% |

| 5 | 11.64 | 11.35 | 98% |
| 6 | 16.49 | 16.03 | 97% |
| 7 | 20.39 | 20.38 | 100% |
| Linear regression y = 1.005x - 0.264, r² = 0.9984 | | | |
The reportable range is 1.2–9.9 mg/dL for Inorganic Phosphorous (IP) and 1.4–20.4 mg/dL for Uric Acid (UA).
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The S Test IP and S Test UA cartridges are factory calibrated and traceable to the NIST standard Reference materials 200a and 913a respectively. The 2-D barcode printed on each cartridge provides the analyzer with lot-specific calibration data.
Real time stability studies have been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. When stored at 2-8 °C the assay reagent is good until the expiration date.
d. Detection limit:
The Limit of Blank and Limit of Detection were determined for each analyte by running a low sample and saline sample for 3 days, 20 replicates/day for a total of 60 results. The testing was split between two instruments. The limits of detection were determined to be 1.2 mg/dL for inorganic phosphorus and 1.4 mg/dL for uric acid.

# e. Analytical specificity:
Interference studies to determine the effects of Unconjugated Bilirubin, Hemolysis and Lipemia were performed. Seven serum pools containing approximately $3.6\mathrm{mg / dL}$ IP and $4.8\mathrm{mg / dL}$ UA were spiked with various concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin $(0 - 50\mathrm{mg / dL})$ , hemoglobin (0-1000 mg/dL) and Intralipids $(0 - 2000\mathrm{mg / dL})$ . Sponsor states that interference is considered to be significant if the analyte result is different from the control by $\pm 10\%$ .
IP - There was no significant interference from bilirubin. No significant interference of lipemia at concentration of 63,125 and $250\mathrm{mg / dl}$ . There was a positive interference of $(>17\%)$ at $500\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and above. Hemoglobin testing showed a positive interference $(>14\%)$ at all levels. The sponsor states that users should not use hemolyzed specimens.
UA - There was no significant interference from bilirubin. A positive interference at any level of hemoglobin was observed. The sponsor states that users should not use hemolyzed specimens. Intralipid of $250\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and above may cause interference. There was a positive interference of $(>14\%)$ at 500 $\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and above.

# 2. Comparison studies:
# a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Clinical correlation studies were performed comparing the S-Test IP and UA results generated on the S40 Clinical analyzer against the results from the ACE Clinical analyzer using 95 IP and 183 UA serum samples. Of the 95 IP samples (77 were unaltered clinical patient samples, 9 were dilutes and 9 were spiked samples) and 183 UA samples (143 were unaltered clinical patient samples, 16 were dilutes and 24 were spiked samples). All the samples were measure in singlet.
The correlation study between the device and the predicate for yielded the following results.
| Test | n | Slope | Intercept | r | Sample range (U/L) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| S Test IP | 95 | 1.088 | 0.16 | 0.976 | 1.1-8.9 |
| S Test UA | 183 | 1.045 | -0.76 | 0.974 | 2.9-20.2 |
{7}
Performance for the S Test IP and S Test UA was evaluated at three Physician Office Laboratories with a total of three operators who are typical operators at these sites. Operators ran for IP 40-41 unaltered clinical serum samples, site one also ran 8 diluted and 7 spiked, site 2 ran 8 diluted and 9 spiked and site 3 ran 8 diluted and 8 spiked samples. The UA assay all sites ran 40 unaltered clinical samples, site 1 additional ran 9 diluted and 5 spiked, site 2 ran 8 diluted and 8 spiked and site 3 ran 8 dilutes and 6 spiked samples. The S Test IP and UA test results were compared to the ACE results. The correlation study between the device and the predicate for serum yielded the following results.
| | | n | Slope | Intercept | r | Sample range (U/L) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| IP | Lab A | 57 | 1.044 | 0.15 | 0.998 | 0.9- 8.9 |
| | Lab B | 56 | 1.053 | 0.19 | 0.995 | 1.0-9.1 |

| UA | Lab A | 54 | 1.062 | -1.03 | 0.995 | 2.6-17.6 |
| | Lab B | 56 | 1.016 | -0.60 | 0.992 | 3.0-18.9 |
| | Lab C | 54 | 1.085 | -0.18 | 0.967 | 2.8-14.7 |
# b. Matrix comparison:
A serum / plasma comparison test was performed for the S-Test IP and S-Test UA assays. Thirty- three paired IP and thirty-two paired UA samples were assayed on the S40 System. The IP comparison eight of the samples were spiked and one sample was diluted, and the UA comparison had 8 spiked samples to help cover the assay range. The correlation is as follows:
$\mathrm{IPy} = 1.043\mathrm{x} - 0.08,\mathrm{r} = 0.996$ range $1.2 - 9.5\mathrm{mg / dL}$

Not applicable
5. Expected values/Reference range:
Eighty-one (81) normal serum samples for IP and UA were evaluated on the S40 Clinical Analyzer to determine if the reference ranges of the predicate (ACE Clinical Analyzer) could be transferred to the new assays.

Analysis confirmed sufficient agreement (9.9% IP and 2.4% UA non-congruent results, sponsor specification ≤10%) to transfer the reference range.
IP – 2.7-4.5 mg/dL
UA – 2.6-7.2 mg/dL (3.5-7.2 male and 2.6-6.0 female)
