The IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D assay is designed for the quantitative measurement of deoxypyridinoline in urine. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an indicator of bone resorption.
Device Story
IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D is a solid-phase, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay used with the IMMULITE® Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. The device measures deoxypyridinoline (DPD) in urine samples to assess bone resorption rates. Operation involves introducing the patient sample and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated DPD into a test unit containing a polystyrene bead coated with monoclonal anti-DPD antibodies. DPD in the sample competes with enzyme-labeled DPD for binding sites. After incubation and centrifugal washing, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane substrate is added. Alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes the substrate, producing an unstable intermediate that emits light. A luminometer measures photon output, which is inversely proportional to the DPD concentration in the sample. The device is used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results assist healthcare providers in evaluating bone metabolism and monitoring conditions where bone resorption exceeds formation, aiding in the management of bone health.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study performed on 75 patient urine samples. Comparison between IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D and Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D. Results showed mean values of 70 nM for both systems. Linear regression analysis yielded a slope of 1.00, intercept of 0.57 nM, and correlation coefficient (r) of 0.966. No other clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase chemiluminescent immunoassay. Components: polystyrene bead coated with monoclonal anti-DPD antibody, alkaline phosphatase-conjugated DPD, phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane substrate. Energy source: automated luminometer. Connectivity: integrated with IMMULITE® Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. Format: automated test unit.

## Summary and Explanation of the test:
Approximately 90% of the organic matrix of bone is type I collagen, a triple helical protein. Type I collagen of bone is crosslinked by specific molecules which provide rigidity and strength. Crosslinks of mature type I collagen in bone are the pyridinium crosslinks, pyridinoline (PYD) and deoxypyridinoline (DPD). DPD is formed by the enzymatic action of lysyl oxidase on the amino acid lysine. DPD is released

into the circulation during the bone resorption process. DPD is excreted unmetabolized in urine and is unaffected by diet, making it suitable for assessing resorption.
Bone is constantly undergoing a metabolic process called remodeling. This includes a degradation process, bone resorption, mediated by the action of osteoblasts. Remodeling is required for the maintenance and overall health of bone and is tightly coupled; that is, resorption and formation are in balance. In abnormal states of bone metabolism, this process becomes uncoupled and, when resorption exceeds formation, this results in a net loss of bone. The measurement of specific degradation products of bone matrix provide analytical data of the rate of bone metabolism.
**Technological Comparison to Predicate:**
Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) asserts that DPC's IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D is substantially equivalent to Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D. Both products are intended for *in vitro* diagnostic use.
IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D is a solid-phase, chemiluminescent immunoassay for use with the IMMULITE Automated Immunoassay Analyzer. The solid-phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within an IMMULITE Test Unit, is coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for DPD.
The patient sample and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated DPD are simultaneously introduced into the Test Unit, and incubated for approximately 30 minutes at 37°C with intermittent agitation. During this time, DPD in the sample competes with enzyme-labeled DPD for a limited number of antibody-binding sites on the bead. Unbound material is then removed by a centrifugal wash, after which substrate is added and the Test Unit is incubated for a further 10 minutes.
The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex and thus also the photon output, as measured by the luminometer is inversely proportional to the concentration of DPD in the sample.
The Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D procedure is a competitive enzyme immunoassay in a microtiter stripwell format utilizing a monoclonal anti-DPD antibody coated on the strip to capture DPD. 50 μL of diluted standards, controls, and samples are added to each microtiter well of the anti-DPD coated strips. 100 μL of cold enzyme conjugate is then added to each well, the wells are covered and incubated in the dark for 2 hours at 2-8 °C. Each well is then washed three times with wash buffer and 150 μL of working substrate solution is added to each well. After the wells are incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature, 100 μL of stop solution is added and the optical density is read at 405 nm. The concentration of DPD in the sample is determined from the standard curve using quantitation software with a 4-parameter calibration curve fitting equation.
**Performance Equivalence:**
Diagnostic Products Corporation asserts that the IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D produces substantially equivalent results to other commercially marketed deoxypyridinoline assays, such as Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D. Each product is intended strictly for *in vitro* diagnostic use as an indicator of bone resorption.

## Method Comparison:
The IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D procedure was compared to the Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D on seventy-five (75) patient urine samples, with DPD concentrations ranging from approximately 7.6 to 280 nM.
**Mean Values:**
70 nM (IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D)
70 nM (Metra Biosystems® Pyrilinks®-D)
Linear regression analysis of IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D values yielded the following statistics:
$$
(\text{IMMULITE}^{\bullet} \text{Pyrilinks}^{\bullet}\text{-D}) = 1.00 \times (\text{Metra Biosystems}^{\bullet} \text{Pyrilinks}^{\bullet}\text{-D}) + 0.57 \text{nM} \quad r = 0.966
$$
## Conclusion:
The data presented in this summary of safety and effectiveness is the data that the Food and Drug Administration used in granting DPC substantial equivalence for IMMULITE® Pyrilinks®-D.
