The Tina-quant Albumin Gen. 2 assay is an immunoturbidimetric assay intended for the quantitative determination of albumin in serum, plasma, urine, and CSF on Roche/Hitachi cobas c systems. Measurement of albumin aids in the diagnosis of kidney and intestinal diseases.
Device Story
Tina-quant Albumin Gen. 2 is an in vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative albumin measurement in human urine, serum, plasma, and CSF. Used on Roche/Hitachi cobas c systems (e.g., c501), the device employs immunoturbidimetric technology. Anti-albumin antibodies react with sample antigen to form antigen/antibody complexes; agglutination is measured turbidimetrically. The system provides quantitative results to clinicians to aid in diagnosing kidney and intestinal diseases. The assay includes automated prozone/antigen excess checks to prevent false results at high albumin concentrations. Performance is validated through precision, sensitivity, and interference studies compared to predicate methods.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), linearity, and analytical specificity studies. Method comparison performed against predicate devices using 125 urine, 77 serum, and 85 CSF samples, showing high correlation (Pearson's r 0.992–0.999). Interference testing confirmed no significant impact from common drugs, lipemia, icterus, or hemolysis within specified limits.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay; utilizes anti-albumin antibodies. Form factor: liquid reagent kit for automated clinical chemistry analyzers (Roche/Hitachi cobas c systems). Connectivity: integrated with cobas c501 analyzer. Software: embedded firmware for instrument control and data processing. Measuring ranges: 12-400 mg/L (urine), 3-101 g/L (serum/plasma), 95-3000 mg/L (CSF).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of albumin in serum, plasma, urine, and CSF to aid in the diagnosis of kidney and intestinal diseases. Applicable to adults, children, and newborns.
Regulatory Classification

Dear Ms. Goodwin:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976; the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. . .
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
