Intended Use

The DSL FSH IRMA assay is intended for the quantitative determination of FSH in human serum. The measurement of FSH is used as a diagnostic aid in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary gland and gonadal disorders.

Device Story

DSL 4700 FSH IRMA kit; non-competitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) for quantitative FSH measurement in human serum. Principle: analyte sandwiched between immobilized antibody on test tube wall and radiolabelled detection antibody. Process: sample incubation; decanting/washing to remove unbound material; gamma counter analysis of bound counts per minute. Output: FSH concentration directly proportional to bound counts. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Results assist physicians in diagnosing/treating pituitary and gonadal disorders.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative study of 81 patient serum samples using DSL 4700 FSH IRMA and DPC FSH IMMULITE. Linear regression analysis: Y = 0.66(X) + 1.26; r = 0.98.

Technological Characteristics

Non-competitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). Components: test tubes with immobilized antibody, radiolabelled detection antibody. Detection via gamma counter. Quantitative measurement based on sandwich complex formation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for quantitative determination of FSH in human serum as a diagnostic aid for pituitary gland and gonadal disorders in patients requiring FSH level assessment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A follicle-stimulating hormone test system is a device intended to measure follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in plasma, serum, and urine. FSH measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary gland and gonadal disorders.

The IRMA format is a non-competitive assay in which the analyte to be measured is "sandwiched" between two antibodies. The first antibody is immobilized to the inside wall of the test tube, the other antibody is radiolabelled for detection. The analyte present is bound by both the antibodies to form a "sandwiched" complex. Unbound materials are removed by decanting and washing the tubes. The resultant is analyzed in a gamma counter for bounds counts per minute. The amount of bound FSH is directly proportional to the concentration of the FSH present in the sample. The DSL FSH IRMA assay is intended for the quantitative determination of FSH in human serum. The measurement of FSH is used as a diagnostic aid in the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary gland and gonadal disorders. The DSL FSH IRMA is substantially equivalent to the DPC FSH IMMULITE. To demonstrate substantial equivalence between the two assays, patient samples (n=81) were collected and assayed using both methods. Samples were chosen based on expected FSH levels so that samples with low, intermediate and high levels would be evaluated. Linear regression analysis of the results obtained for the comparison gave the equation $Y = 0.66(X) + 1.26$ with a correlation coefficient of $(r) = 0.98$.
