Indications for Use
The ARCHITECT Uric Acid test system is a device intended to measure uric acid in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device 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.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay for ARCHITECT c8000 System; measures uric acid in human serum, plasma, or urine. Uses two-part (R1/R2) uricase methodology. Uricase oxidizes uric acid to allantoin, producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine and HMMPS via peroxidase to form quinoneimine dye. Absorbance change at 604 nm proportional to uric acid concentration. R1 contains ascorbic oxidase to reduce ascorbic acid interference. Used in clinical laboratories; results interpreted by physicians to manage renal/metabolic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per CLSI guidelines (EP5-A2, EP6-A, EP7-A2, EP9-A2, EP17-A). Precision studies (N=80) showed total CVs < 2.1% for urine and < 4.2% for serum. Linearity demonstrated across the measuring range (r > 0.999). Method comparison (N=103 serum, N=103 urine) against the predicate yielded slopes of 0.95 and correlation coefficients of 0.9955. Interference testing confirmed non-significant bias (within ±10%) for common endogenous substances including ascorbic acid, bilirubin, glucose, and hemoglobin.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent kit. Uricase-based enzymatic colorimetric assay. Two-part (R1/R2) liquid reagent configuration. Includes ascorbic oxidase for interference reduction. Photometric detection at 604 nm. Designed for use on ARCHITECT c8000 automated clinical chemistry analyzer.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of uric acid in serum, plasma, and urine to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of renal and metabolic disorders such as renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, and starvation, and for monitoring patients receiving cytotoxic drugs.

## L. Test Principle:
The uric acid assay is a two-part reaction. Uric acid is oxidized to allantoin by uricase with production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2 reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) and N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methoxy-5-methylanaline (HMMPS) in the presence of peroxidase (POD) to yield a quinoneimine dye. The resulting change in absorbance at 604 nm is proportional to the uric acid concentration in the sample. The two-part (R1/R2) configuration of this assay allows reduction of interference from ascorbic acid by inclusion of ascorbic oxidase in the R1 portion of the assay.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision was performed for 20 days using one lot of reagent, one lot of calibrators, and one lot of controls following procedures outlined in CLSI EP5-A2. All testing was performed on the ARCHITECT c8000. Two serum samples, two serum controls, and two urine controls were tested in replicates of five, in two runs per day for 8 days (N=80). Results are summarized in the following tables:
20 day precision for serum and urine controls

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| Serum Samples | 1 | 80 | 1.23 | 0.01 | 0.70 | 0.05 | 4.18 |
| Urine Sample | 1 | 50 | 242.10 | 1.26 | 0.5 | 2.03 | 0.80 |
An additional 5 day precision study was conducted for a high serum sample using spiked serum sample pool. The results are shown in the following table:
| Matrix | Level | N | Mean (mg/dL) | Within-run | | Total precision | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Serum | 2 | 50 | 31.59 | 0.130 | 0.4 | 0.156 | 0.50 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A linearity study was performed following the CLSI EP6-A guideline. Samples were prepared by diluting a high patient sample with a low patient sample to obtain twelve different concentrations spanning the measuring range; ranging from $0.00 - 70.00\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for serum samples and $0.00 - 300.00\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for urine samples. Each serum and urine sample was tested in replicates of four using two lots of reagents on one instrument (One represented lot of reagent result was summarized below). The observed values were plotted against the expected values and an appropriate line fitted by standard linear regression. Results were summarized below:
| | Serum (lot 1) | Urine (lot 1) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Correlation (r) | 0.9999 | 0.9996 |
| Slope | 0.9920 | 1.0105 |
| Intercept | 0.1677 | 0.6791 |
The linearity data support the sponsor's claim that the measuring range for serum is $1 - 33.1\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and urine is $5 - 250\mathrm{mg / dL}$
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Calibrators were previously cleared- See k103403 for traceability, stability, and expected value information.

# d. Detection limit:
The sponsor conducted a Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and a Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) study following the CLSI EP-17A guideline. To determine the limit of blank (LoB), zero level samples were prepared for serum and urine (4 aliquots each) with testing performed on two instruments, using two reagent lots, one lot of calibrators, and one lot of controls for a total of 160 replicates. Four low level serum (target concentrations 0.16, 0.18, 0.20, and $0.22\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) and four low level urine samples (target concentrations 1.60, 1.80, 2.00, and $2.20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ ) were prepared. The low level samples also had testing performed on two instruments, using two reagent lots, one lot of calibrators, and one lot of controls for a total of 40 replicates each. LoQ was determined based on 5 separate runs over 3 days. LoQ for serum was determined at $0.22\mathrm{mg / dL}$ based on an interassay imprecision of $\leq 18.3\%$ , and LoQ for urine was $2.20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ based on an interassay imprecision of $\leq 6\%$
Results are summarized in the following tables:
| | Serum (mg/dL) | Urine (mg/dL) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LoB | 0.02 | 0.07 |
| LoD | 0.06 | 0.24 |
| LoQ | 0.22 | 2.20 |
Sponsor's claimed measuring range for serum is $1 - 33.1\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and urine is $5 - 250\mathrm{mg / dL}$
# e. Analytical specificity:
A study of common interfering substances was conducted. The results of the study were evaluated following recommendations by CLSI EP7-A2. Serum samples were prepared at target uric acid concentrations of 3 and $9\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Urine uric acid samples were prepared at a target concentration of $12.5\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and $30\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Various concentrations of interfering substances were spiked into the serum or urine sample pools. The sponsor states that interferences are considered to be non-significant if the bias between the spiked and non-spiked samples are within $\pm 10\%$ . Results are summarized in the following tables.
The following table summarizes serum uric acid specificity:
