Intended Use
iFlash-HCG is a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for quantitative detection of the intact human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) molecule and the hCG β-subunit (β-hCG) in human serum and plasma using the automated Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). The iFlash-HCG assay is to be used by laboratory professionals as an aid in early detection of pregnancy together with other clinical methods. Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) is a fully-automated, chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer intended for quantitative or qualitative determination of analytes in human body fluids taken from clinical settings. It is used together with its supporting chemiluminescence immunoassay reagents. The Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) is intended for use in clinical laboratories.
Device Story
iFlash-HCG is a quantitative sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for human serum/plasma; utilizes anti-HCG antibody-coated paramagnetic microparticles and acridinium-ester-labeled anti-HCG antibody conjugate. Sample hCG forms a sandwich complex with reagents; magnetic separation removes unbound materials; pre-trigger and trigger solutions initiate chemiluminescent reaction. iFlash 3000-C analyzer measures resulting relative light units (RLUs) via optical system; concentration derived from 3-point calibration curve and master curve (QR code). Used in clinical laboratories by professionals; results aid clinical decision-making for pregnancy detection. System includes sample loading, incubation, magnetic separation, and photon detection modules. Barcode reader identifies specimens; automated dilution (1:50 or 1:100) available for high-concentration samples.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via precision (CLSI EP05-A3), linearity (CLSI EP06-Ed2), interference (CLSI EP7-A2), and detection limits (CLSI EP17-A2). Method comparison study (n=110) against predicate showed high correlation (R²=0.9980, slope=0.9860). Matrix comparison (n=97) confirmed suitability of serum, lithium heparin, sodium heparin, and K2-EDTA plasma. No clinical sensitivity/specificity studies performed.
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich immunoassay; paramagnetic microparticles; acridinium-ester label; chemiluminescent detection. Fully automated analyzer (iFlash 3000-C) with incubation, magnetic separation, and photon detection. Reagents contain ProClin 300 preservative.

Diluted samples at three dilution ratios are tested for 3 replicates with mean value calculated and multiplied by the dilution fold, which is recorded as the final concentration and compared with the theoretical concentration for relative deviation (within ±10%). Dilution study results support the claim that, samples with HCG concentrations above the measuring range 10000 mIU/mL can be diluted with the maximum dilution ratio 1:100 (either automatically by the analyzer or manually) .
