Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD4-FITC/CD8-PE is intended for use in identification and enumeration of CD4+ and CD8+ human T lymphocytes in whole blood by flow cytometry. The intended use is the same as the intended use of the predicate device, Simultest CD4/CD8 (Leu-3a/2a) commercially distributed by Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems.
Device Story
Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD4-FITC/CD8-PE is a blend of murine monoclonal antibodies (OKT4A and OKT8) conjugated to fluorochromes (FITC and PE). Used in clinical laboratories with flow cytometry systems (e.g., ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE) to identify and enumerate CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in whole blood. Input: whole blood specimen; Process: antibody-antigen binding followed by flow cytometric analysis; Output: percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ positive cells. Healthcare providers use these results for immunophenotyping, aiding in the assessment of immune status in patients, including those with AIDS/ARC.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated at three sites comparing Ortho-mune OK-COMBO to Simultest CD4/CD8. Study population included 190 normal donors and 83 AIDS/ARC patients. Results showed high correlation in CD4+ and CD8+ cell enumeration. Reproducibility studies (N=11 donors) demonstrated acceptable within-laboratory and between-laboratory CVs. Linearity studies across a range of 20 to 18,676 cells/ul showed slopes near 1.0 and R=1.000.
Technological Characteristics

# PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Performance of the two color reagent Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD4-FITC/CD8-PE (OKT4A/OKT8) Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) was compared with that of Simultest CD4/CD8 (Leu-3a/2a) at three external, geographically distinct sites. Whole blood specimens from 190 normal donors, and 83 AIDS/ARC patients were stained and analyzed using the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE™ flow cytometer, Ortho Diagnostic Systems Inc.
For each specimen, the percentage of gated cells which showed positive by each marker was calculated. The mean and range of the percent CD4+ and percent CD8+ cells for the normal donor and AIDS/ARC population are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively.

Reproducibility studies were performed at three independent laboratories using samples with low, normal, and high relative percent CD4+ and CD8+ cells.
Specimens from each of eleven normal donors (whole blood, EDTA) were processed using monoclonal antibodies bound to microbeads to produce samples of low, normal, and high relative percent CD4+ and CD8+ cells. The samples were separated into aliquots for each laboratory. Samples were stained in replicates of 10 with Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD4/CD8 reagent and analyzed using the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer.
For within laboratory reproducibility, the variance for the replicate results was calculated within site, concentration and donor. The variance was averaged across site, concentration and donor. The square root replicate variance (SD) was divided by the appropriate mean percent positive result (by site and concentration) and multiplied by 100 to obtain the CV. Within laboratory reproducibility results for determination of total percent CD4+ and percent CD8+ cells are presented in Table 3.

The between laboratory CV was computed as follows. The mean percent positive for each site within concentration was calculated. The SD was computed on the three site means within concentration and the CV was obtained by dividing the SD by the overall mean within concentration and multiplying by 100.

A linearity study was performed using an automated hematology analyzer to determine total lymphocyte count, and the CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer to determine the percent positive CDx cells.
Specimens from four normal donors (whole blood, EDTA) were processed to produce samples with low, normal and high numbers of lymphocyte subsets. Each whole blood specimen was concentrated by harvesting the buffy coat to obtain a white blood cell count between 20,000 and 40,000 cells/ul and then diluting to produce samples of high, normal and low numbers of lymphocyte subsets. A portion of each sample was stained in triplicate using Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD4/CD8 immunophenotyping reagent and analyzed using the CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer. The total lymphocyte count of the concentrated sample for each donor was obtained using an automated hematology analyzer.
Linear regression analyses were performed as follows. The expected (X axis) values were calculated by multiplying the corresponding serial dilutions by the hematology analyzer derived buffy coat lymphocyte count and by the CYTORONABSOLUTE derived lymphocyte subset percent positive. The observed (Y axis) values were determined as the total lymphocyte count calculated from the hematology derived value of the concentrated sample times the CYTORONABSOLUTE derived lymphocyte subset percent positive at each dilution.
The OK-COMBO CD4/CD8 reagent demonstrated linear performance for both total CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte subsets across a lymphocyte count range of 20 cells/ul to 18,676 cells/ul as demonstrated with slopes indistinguishable from 1 and R values of 1.000.
Linear regression analyses of observed versus expected values for total percent CD4+ and percent CD8+ cells for each donor specimen are shown in Chart 3 and Chart 4 respectively. Regression analysis statistics are provided in Table 5.
