The intended use of Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 Myoglobin Assay is for the quantitative determination of Myoglobin in serum or plasma and as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction using the Chiron Diagnostics ACS Automated Chemiluminescence Systems.
Device Story
The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 Myoglobin assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for measuring myoglobin levels in serum or plasma. It utilizes a two-site sandwich immunoassay format based on direct chemiluminometric technology. The system employs a Lite Reagent containing polyclonal goat anti-myoglobin antibodies labeled with acridinium ester and a Solid Phase containing monoclonal mouse anti-myoglobin antibodies coupled to paramagnetic particles. The assay is performed on the Chiron Diagnostics ACS Automated Chemiluminescence Systems. By quantifying myoglobin, which is released into circulation following cardiac muscle injury, the device serves as an aid in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and as a rule-out indicator in emergency department settings. Healthcare providers use the quantitative results to evaluate patients presenting with symptoms of potential myocardial infarction, often in conjunction with other cardiac markers like CK-MB or cTnI, to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary admissions to Coronary Care Units.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using 703 samples from healthy individuals to establish reference ranges (Male: 5.1–90.7 ng/mL; Female: 10–65.3 ng/mL). Analytical sensitivity is ≤10 ng/mL. Method comparison with an alternate EIA method (n=123) yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.99. Precision testing (n=144 per sample) demonstrated total CVs between 4.2% and 5.3%.
Technological Characteristics
Two-site sandwich immunoassay using direct chemiluminometric technology. Reagents: polyclonal goat anti-myoglobin (acridinium ester labeled) and monoclonal mouse anti-myoglobin (paramagnetic particle coupled). Measures concentrations up to 1000 ng/mL. Automated system operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of myoglobin in serum or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by professional personnel.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A myoglobin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the myoglobin (an oxygen storage protein found in muscle) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of myoglobin aids in the rapid diagnosis of heart or renal disease.

## 4. Device Description
Myoglobin is a oxygen-binding, heme protein, found in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Myoglobin is noted for its rapid release into the circulation following tissue injury. Elevated levels of myoglobin can be found in conditions of muscle damage, such as acute and chronic skeletal muscle disease, renal failure, myocarditis, open-heart surgery, and after heavy exercise.
Myoglobin releases into the circulation as early as 2 to 4 hours after cell damage, peaks at between 9 and 12 hours, and returns to normal within 24 to 36 hours. In the absence of skeletal muscle trauma, myoglobin has been used as an early indicator of myocardial infarction, and therefore as a rule out indicator. Myoglobin has a negative predictive value of 99%, which improves the rule out capabilities of the emergency department and helps reduce the number of patients inappropriately admitted to the Coronary Care Units with symptoms atypical of acute
{1}------------------------------------------------
myocardial infarction. When used in combination with other cardiac markers such as CK-MB or cTnl, the ACS myoglobin assay is a valuable diagnostic tool to be used in the early evaluation of the potential acute myocardial infarction patient.
#### 5. Statement of Intended Use
The intended use of Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 Myoglobin Assay is for the quantitative determination of Myoglobin in serum or plasma and as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction using the Chiron Diagnostics ACS Automated Chemiluminescence Systems.
## 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics
The Chiron Diagnostics ACS:180 Myoglobin assay is a two-site sandwich immunoassay using direct chemiluminometric technology, which uses constant amounts of two antibodies. The first antibody, in the Lite Reagent, is a polyclonal goat anti-myoglobin antibody labeled with acridinium ester. The second antibody, in the Solid Phase, is a monoclonal mouse anti-myoglobin antibody covalently coupled to paramagnetic particles.
#### 6. Performance Characteristics
## Expected Results
To confirm the ACS:180 Myoglobin reference range 703 serum and plasma samples from apparently healthy individuals were analyzed. Based on a central 95% interval, the following reference ranges were established:
| Sample<br>Category | N | Average<br>(ng/mL)<br>(µg/L) | Range<br>(ng/mL)<br>(µg/L) |
|--------------------|-----|------------------------------|----------------------------|
| Male | 353 | 47.9 | 5.1–90.7 |
| Female | 350 | 32.7 | 10–65.3 |
As with all in vitro diagnostic asavs, each laboratory should determine its own reference range(s) for the diagnostic evaluation of patient results.
## Sensitivity and Assay Reportable Range
The ACS:180 Myoglobin assay measures myoglobin concentrations up to 1000 ng/mL(ug/L) with a minimum detectable concentration (analytical sensitivity) of ≤10
{2}------------------------------------------------
ng/mL(ug/L). Analytical sensitivity is defined as the concentration of myoglobin that corresponds to the RLUs that are two standard deviations greater than the mean RLUs of 20 replicate determinations of the Myoglobin zero standard.
## Method Comparison
For 123 samples in the range of 27 to 957 ng/mL(μg/L) the relationship between the ACS:180 Myoglobin assay and an alternate myoglobin EIA method is described by the equation:
ACS:180 Myoglobin = 1.06 x (alternate ElA method) - 4.6 ng/mL(µg/L) Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.99
## Precision
Eight samples were assayed 6 times in 6 assays, on each of 4 systems (n =144 for each sample), over a period of 3 days. Total precision (% CV) range between 4.2 to 5.3.
