Device Story
Elecsys Cortisol II is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative cortisol measurement in human serum and plasma. It utilizes a competitive electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) principle on Elecsys and cobas e analyzers. The assay uses a monoclonal antibody specific to cortisol; endogenous cortisol is liberated from binding proteins via danazol and competes with a ruthenium-labeled exogenous cortisol derivative for binding sites on biotinylated antibodies. The device is operated by laboratory technicians in clinical settings. Results are calculated via a calibration curve generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via reagent barcode. Healthcare providers use these results in conjunction with patient history and clinical examination to diagnose and manage adrenal gland disorders. The device benefits patients by providing accurate cortisol levels to support clinical decision-making for endocrine conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (n=84, CVs 1.4-12.7%). Linearity confirmed 2.85-1898 nmol/L (R²=0.9995). LoB=1.0 nmol/L, LoD=1.5 nmol/L, LoQ=3.0 nmol/L. Interference testing showed no significant interference (≤10%) for common endogenous/exogenous substances. Cross-reactivity assessed for 16 compounds; limitations noted for prednisolone, 6-α-Methylprednisolone, prednisone, 11-deoxycortisol, and 21-deoxycortisol. Method comparison (n=536) vs predicate showed bias; comparison vs ID-GC-MS (n=208) showed good agreement (Slope 1.022, r=0.993). Reference ranges established from 300 healthy individuals.
Indicated for the in vitro quantitative determination of cortisol in human serum and plasma to assist in the recognition and treatment of functional disorders of the adrenal gland. Intended for use on Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.

#### 4. NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Non-clinical performance evaluations for the Elecsys Cortisol II executed with the study briefly summarized.
#### 4.1. Precision (Human Serum)
Precision of the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was evaluated on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer according to CLSI EP5-A2 guideline. One reagent lot was evaluated.
{14}------------------------------------------------
The protocol consisted of testing 2 replicates each of the controls (PC Universal) and 5 human serum samples (HS) per run, 2 runs per day for 21 days. The samples were run in randomized order on the analyzer. Samples used were native, diluted and spiked human serum pools.
Repeatability and Intermediate precision were calculated according to EP5-A2.
#### Limit of Blank 4.2.
For the analytical sensitivity studies, 2 cobas e 411 analyzers and 2 lots of reagents were used. The Limit of Blank (LoB) was determined using native human serum pools and Universal Diluent. A total of n = 60 LoB measurements were made (5 blank samples, 1 replicate, 2 runs per day on 2 instruments over 3 days). The LoB was calculated according to CLSI EP17-A2 (non-parametric approach).
#### Limit of Detection 4.3.
For the analytical sensitivity studies, 2 cobas e 411 analyzer and 2 lots of reagents were used. The Limit of Detection (LoD) was determined using 5 low-level human serum samples (diluted). A total of n = 60 LoD measurements were made (5 samples, 2 runs per day on 2 instruments over 3 days). The LoD was calculated according to CLSI EP17-A2.
#### Limit of Quantitation 4.4.
The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) was determined using a set of nine human serum samples, three reagent lots on two cobas e 411 analyzer. The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) was determined in accordance with CLSI Guideline EP17-A2. Each sample was analyzed in replicates of 2, two runs per day over 3 days.
#### Linearity 4.5.
### 4.5.1. Serum
The linearity results were obtained with serum samples on the cobas e 411 Immunoassay analyzer. A high analyte serum sample (pooled human serum sample, spiked) was diluted with Diluent Universal (protein matrix). 19 concentrations (thereof 17 dilutions) throughout the
{15}------------------------------------------------
measuring range were prepared. Samples were assayed in 3-fold determination within a single run.
The linearity data were analyzed with regards to linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials according to CLSI EP6-A. In a first step, a linearity check was performed with a first order (linear) regression and then with higher order models (quadratic and cubic).
# 4.5.2.
Linearity of the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was assessed on the cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer according to CLSI EP6-A.
A high analyte plasma sample (pooled human plasma sample, spiked) was diluted with Diluent Universal (protein matrix). 19 concentrations (thereof 17 dilutions) throughout the measuring range were prepared. Samples were assayed in 3-fold determination within a single run.
The linearity data were analyzed with regards to linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials according to CLSI EP6-A. In a first step, a linearity check was performed with a first order (linear) regression and then with higher order models (quadratic and cubic).
#### Analytical Specificity 4.6.
### 4.6.1. Serum/Plasma
The specificity of the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was determined using two human serum sample pools (diluted as well as spiked) spiked with potential cross-reactant compounds. The analyte concentration of the samples was at approx. 60 and 300 µg/L Cortisol (conversion factor: µg/L x 2.7586 = nmol/L). The spiked and non-spiked samples were tested in duplicates on the cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer. Cross-reactivity results will be reported in the method sheet.
{16}------------------------------------------------
#### Endogenous Interferences 4.7.
The effect on quantitation of analyte in the presence of endogenous interfering substances using the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was determined on the cobas e 411 Immunoassay analyzer using human serum samples (single samples as well as pools, native, diluted and spiked).
For each interfering substance three human serum samples containing low, mid and high concentrations of Cortisol were tested. The recovery for each sample was calculated by comparison to the reference sample. Predefined acceptance criterion was met. The claims included in the method sheet were set to the specification concentration.
#### 4.8. HASA Effect
The effect of the presence of human anti-sheep antibodies (HASA) on the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was assessed on the cobas e 411 analyzer.
As no native human sample with this type of interference was available the effect of human antisheep antibodies was investigated in a model system using donkey anti-sheep polyclonal antibodies (DASA).
Two serum samples with cortisol concentrations of 173 respectively 789 nmol/L were divided into two aliquots each. One aliquot was spiked with the 20ug/mL DASA and was then diluted with the unspiked aliqout of the serum sample in 10% increments.
The recovery for each sample was calculated by comparison to the unspiked reference sample.
#### Exogenous Interferences- Drugs 4.9.
The effect on quantitation of analyte in the presence of drugs was determined by comparing values obtained from samples spiked with 16 pharmaceutical compounds spiked into two human serum samples (native, diluted and spiked human serum pools as well as single samples) and tested on the cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer. The analyte concentrations of the samples were approximately 170 and 750 nmol/L. The drug concentrations tested are in accordance with the recommendation (if available) given in the CLSI guideline EP7-A2. The two serum samples were divided into aliquots and spiked with the potential interferents. The reference sample without interferent was spiked with the respective amount of solvent only.
{17}------------------------------------------------
The Cortisol II concentration of the spiked aliquots was determined in 3-fold determination and compared to the Cortisol concentration determined for the reference aliquot (also in 3-fold determination) on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer.
# 4.10. Exogenous Interferences- Anticoagulants
The effect on quantitation of analyte in the presence of anticoagulants with the Elecsys Cortisol II Immunoassay was determined by comparing values obtained from samples (native, diluted and spiked human serum pools as well as single samples) drawn into Serum, Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA-, K3-EDTA-plasma primary tubes and Li-Heparin Plasma Gel Separation Tubes. A minimum of 48 serum/plasma pairs per sample material were tested in duplicate with one reagent lot on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer. Potential effects are assessed by regression analysis.
# 4.11. Method Comparison
To show correlation, the following two method comparisons were performed:
Method Comparison 1: Elecsys Cortisol II vs. LC-MS (Reference Method)
Method Comparison 2: Elecsys Cortisol II vs. Cortisol I (k070788)
4.11.1. Method Comparison 1: Elecsys Cortisol II vs. LC-MS (Reference Method)
A total of 208 human serum samples (all native single donors) were measured in singleton covering the entire measuring range. The study was performed on the cobas e 411 (Y) and the LC-MS method (X) at UZ Gent, Lab voor Klinische Biologie (Gent, Belgium).
4.11.2. Method Comparison 2: Elecsys Cortisol II vs. Cortisol I (k070788)
The second method comparison shows the correlation of the Elecsys Cortisol II to the current Elecsys Cortisol assay. The expected differences due the improved specificity of the Elecsys Cortisol II assay are shown. The study was performed on the cobas e 411 (Y and X) analyzer at UZ Gent, LMU Großhadern, Uni Klinik Leipzig and Labor Limbach, respectively. A total of 536 human serum samples (all native single donors) were measured.
{18}------------------------------------------------
# 4.12. Reagent Stability
To test reagent stability, three studies were executed with two studies completed.
### 4.12.1. Study 1. Reagent stability onboard (8 weeks)
Reagent onboard stability for the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was tested on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer.
A fresh reagent rackpack was placed on the analyzer and calibrated. Reference values for the samples tested were determined. After measurement the rackpack was removed from the analyzer and kept at 20°C + 3°C (on-board condition). On day 8, 36 and day 64, the same samples were measured with this reagent kit using the calibration curves established on day 1, 29 and 57, respectively.
Samples tested in duplicate include five human serum (HS) samples and two controls. Native, diluted and spiked human serum samples were used.
# 4.12.2. Study 2. Reagent stability after first opening at 2-8°C (84 days)
Reagent stability after first opening for the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was tested on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer.
A fresh reagent rackpack was placed on the analyzer and calibrated. Reference values for the samples tested were determined. After measurement the kit was removed from the analyzer and kept at 2-8 °C for 29 days, 57 days and 92 days. After 29 days, 57 days and 92 days the kit was placed on the analyzer again, calibrated and the test samples were determined.
Samples tested in duplicate include five human serum (HS) samples and two controls. Native, diluted and spiked human serum samples were used.
4.12.3. Study 3: A real-time stability study is ongoing to support shelf-life stability claim. In the ongoing real-time stability study, the Elecsys Cortisol II assay material is stored at 2-8°C. The stored assay reagents are tested at time point T=0 and at specified intervals over the shelf life of the device up to the planned shelf life plus one month. Testing will be performed using
{19}------------------------------------------------
PreciControl Universal. Level 1 and 2 (lyophylized, stored at -20°C) and human serum samples (stored at -80°C).
Data for the time-points at 0, 13, 16 and 19 months for MP lot and at 0, 7, 16 and 19 months for P2 and P3 lot tested in duplicate will be available. The average on-test recovery value will be calculated as percent recovery compared to the reference value (Assigned value for PreciControl Universal, Level 1 and 2).
# 4.13. Sample Stability
To test sample stability, three studies were completed. Because these studies are not analyzer dependent, and the assay is a global product currently available rest of world (ROW), the studies were executed on the cobas e 601. Study results can be applied to the cobas e 411 since sample stability is independent of the analyzer. For each study, the samples used were all single donors (native, spiked and diluted) and the following acceptance criteria was applied.
### 4.13.1. Study 1. Sample stability at 2-8°C
Twelve human serum, Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA, and K3-EDTA plasma samples were aliquoted and measured fresh (reference value) and after storage at 2-8°C for 4 days.
Measurements were performed with three-fold determination on a cobas e 601 Immunoassay Analyzer and recovery was calculated as percent of the reference value.
The human serum samples used were native, spiked and diluted single donors.
Study 2. Sample stability at Room Temperature (15-25°C) 4.13.2.
Twelve human serum, Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA, and K3-EDTA plasma samples were aliquoted and measured fresh (reference value) and after storage at 20-25°C for 24 hours.
Measurements were performed with three-fold determination on a cobas e 601 Immunoassay
Analyzer and recovery was calculated as percent of the reference value.
The human serum samples used were native, spiked and diluted single donors.
{20}------------------------------------------------
### 4.13.3. Study 3. Sample stability -15 to -25°C
Twelve human serum. Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA, and K3-EDTA_plasma samples were aliquoted and measured fresh (reference value) and after storage of 12 months at -15 to -25°C.
Measurements were performed with three-fold determination on a cobas e 601 Immunoassay Analyzer and recovery was calculated as percent of the reference value.
The human serum samples used were native, spiked and diluted single donors.
# 4.14. Calibration Stability
To test calibration stability, two studies were completed, including:
- . Study 1. Lot calibration stability
- Study 2. On-board calibration stability
# 4.14.1. Study 1
Calibration of an Elecsys Cortisol II reagent lot is recommended every 8 weeks. During that time period fresh reagent kits of the same lot can be used without calibration using the calibration curve of the Day 1 reagent kit.
Elecsys Cortisol II was calibrated with a fresh reagent kit on Day 1 using a cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer. After 29 days, 57 days and 92 days a new reagent kit of the same lot was used and recovery of samples was determined using the calibration curve of day 1.
Five human serum (HS) samples and two control samples were tested; each sample was tested with two-fold determination. The human serum samples used were native, diluted and spiked.
# 4.14.2. Study 2
Reagent Calibration Stability for the Elecsys Cortisol II assay was tested on one cobas e 411 Immunoassay Analyzer.
{21}------------------------------------------------
A fresh Reagent Rack-Pack was placed on the analyzer and calibrated. All samples were measured on day 1. On day 8 the same samples were measured with the same reagent kit kept at 20°C + 3°C (on-board condition) using the calibration curves established on day 1.
Five human serum (HS) samples and two control samples were tested; each sample was tested with two-fold determination. The human serum samples used were native, diluted and spiked.
# 4.15. Calibrator studies
The Elecsys Cortisol II CalSet was evaluated for value assignment, reconstitution and stability.
### 4.15.1. Value assignment
Value assignment testing was conducted and passed pre-defined acceptance criteria. The target values for the two levels of the Cortisol II CalSet kit are chosen to obtain the best fit with the Master Calibration Curve, together with the Rodbard curve parameters encoded in the reagent barcode. For each Elecsys Cortisol II CalSet lot manufactured, the calibrators are run in duplicate on at least three (3) cobas e 411 analyzers and at least three (3) cobas e 601/cobas e 602/MODULAR ANALYTICS E170 analyzers with all Cortisol II reagent lots available. The assigned value of each calibrator is defined as the mean value obtained over at least six (6) runs on at least three (3) analyzers) of the respective calibrator.
Measurement values for PreciControl Universal (Levels 1 & 2), a multi-analyte control recommended for use to monitor accuracy and precision of specified analytes, are read from the calibration curves generated. The pre-defined acceptance criteria for PreciControl Universal have to be met to release the Assigned Values for Cortisol II CalSet.
### 4.15.2. Reconstitution
Reconstitution time for the lyophilized Cortisol II CalSet was tested. Two sets of Cortisol II CalSet were reconstituted, one for 15 minutes and the other for 30 minutes. Signal recovery after 30 minutes reconstitution was compared to the signal value after 15 minutes.
Cortisol II CalSet was evaluated in duplicate on the cobas e 411 analyzer.
{22}------------------------------------------------
### 4.15.3. Stability
Three studies were performed in order to verify the stability claims for the Cortisol II CalSet. Stability studies after reconstitution and an accelerated stability study were completed on the Elecsys 2010.
### 4.15.3.1. Study 1- Stability at -20°C (after reconstitution)
The on-test and reference materials were tested in duplicate on the Elecsys 2010. The on-test material was reconstituted and stored in closed vials for 3 months at -20°C. The on-test signal recovery was calculated as percent of the reference value.
### 4.15.3.2. Study 2- Onboard stability at 20-25°C after reconstitution
The on-test and reference materials were tested in duplicate on the Elecsys 2010. The on-test material was reconstituted and stored in open vials for 4 hours at 20-25°C. The on-test signal recovery was calculated as percent of the reference value.
### 4.15.3.3. Real-time Stability
Since there was no change in formulation and target values to the Cortisol II CalSet the real-time stability data (18 months at 2-8°C) of the current Cortisol CalSet is applicable.
In the real-time stability study, the Cortisol CalSet on-test material was stored at 2 - 8°C. The CalSets were tested at specified intervals over the shelf life of the device up to the planned shelf life plus one month.
Data for the time-points after manufacturing, 7 (Lot 1), 6 (Lot 2 & 3), 14 (Lot 1), 13 (Lot 2 & 3), and 19 months were tested in duplicate. The stability of the CalSet was assessed via accurate recovery of PreciControl Universal.
### 4.15.3.4. Reconstitution study
Reconstitution time for the lyophilized Cortisol II CalSet was tested. Two sets of Cortisol II CalSet were reconstituted, one for 15 minutes and the other for 30 minutes. Signal recovery after
{23}------------------------------------------------
30 minutes reconstitution was compared to the signal value after 15 minutes. Cortisol II CalSet was evaluated in duplicate on the cobas e 411 analyzer.
#### CLINICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION 5.
Clinical samples were collected at three sites in the United States in order to establish the reference range values for the Elecsys Cortisol II assay. Reference ranges for self-reported healthy males and females were determined using the median value, the 5th -95th and the 2.5th -97.5th percentiles (nmol/L) as lower and upper limit of normal, respectively. The evaluation was done at one site in St Louis, Missouri with one reagent lot (MP) using one cobas e 411 analyzer. Samples were all native human serum samples measured in singleton, over 2 runs within 10 days.
