Intended Use

The Iron assay is used for the quantitation of iron in human serum on the ALCYON 300/300i Analyzer. Iron (non-heme) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis (a disease associated with widespread deposit in the tissues of two iron-containing pigments, hemosiderin and hemofuscin, and characterized by pigmentation of the skin), and chronic renal disease.

Device Story

In vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative iron measurement in human serum; performed on ALCYON 300/300i Analyzer. Principle: acidic media releases ferric iron from transferrin; hydroxylamine hydrochloride converts ferric to ferrous iron; ferrous iron reacts with FERENE to form colored complex. Absorbance measured at 600 nm; proportional to iron concentration. Thiourea and detergent added to reduce copper interference and turbidity. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides iron concentration values to assist clinicians in diagnosing and managing iron-related disorders.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Method comparison study vs. Raichem Serum Iron assay on Roche Cobas Mira Plus: n=not specified, correlation coefficient 0.9835, slope 0.929, intercept -0.385 ug/dL. Precision studies: within-run, between-run, and between-day; total %CV 2.7% (Level 1) and 5.5% (Level 2). Linearity up to 1,400 ug/dL; limit of quantitation 10 ug/dL.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic clinical chemistry assay. Reagents: acidic media, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, FERENE, thiourea, detergent. Measurement: spectrophotometric absorbance at 600 nm. Platform: ALCYON 300/300i Analyzer.

Indications for Use

Indicated for quantitative determination of iron in human serum for diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic renal disease.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An iron (non-heme) test system is a device intended to measure iron (non-heme) in serum and plasma. Iron (non-heme) measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as iron deficiency anemia, hemochromatosis (a disease associated with widespread deposit in the tissues of two iron-containing pigments, hemosiderin and hemofuscin, and characterized by pigmentation of the skin), and chronic renal disease.

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

The assigned 510(k) number is: _

### Test Description:

Iron is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum. The Iron assay is a clinical chemistry assay which utilizes an acidic media to release ferric iron from the transferrin. The ferric iron is converted to the ferrous form by the action of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The released ferrous iron reacts with FERENE® to produce a colored Iron-FERENE complex. The absorbance of the Iron-FERENE complex is measured at 600 nm and is proportional to the concentration of iron present in the sample. Thiourea and detergent are added to reduce copper interference and turbidity, respectively.

### Substantial Equivalence:

The Iron assay is substantially equivalent to the Raichem® Serum Iron assay (K864819) on the Roche® Cobas Mira® Plus Automated Chemistry System.

### 团 013

Both assay yield similar Performance Characteristics.

Similarities:

- Both assays are in vitro clinical chemistry methods. a
- Both assays can be used for the quantitative determination of iron. .
- Both assays yield similar clinical results. .

Differences:

- There is a difference between the assay range. .
### Intended Use:

The Iron assay is used for the quantitation of iron in human serum ALCYON 300/300i Analyzer.

### Performance Characteristics:

Comparative performance studies were conducted using the ALCYON™ Analyzer. The Iron assay method comparison yielded acceptable correlation with the Raichem Serum Iron assay on the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System. The correlation coefficient = 0.9835, slope = 0.929, and Y-intercept = - 0.385 ug/dL. Precision studies were conducted using the Iron assay. Within-run, between-run, and between-day studies were performed using two levels of control material. The total %CV for Level 1/Panel 111 is 2.7% and Level 2/Panel 112 is 5.5%. The Iron assay is linear up to 1,400 ug/dL. The limit of quantitation (sensitivity) of the Iron assay is 10 ug/dL. These data demonstrate that the performance of the Iron assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Raichem Serum Iron assay on the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System.

### Conclusion:

The Iron assay is substantially equivalent to the Raichem Serum Iron assay on the Roche Cobas Mira Plus Automated Chemistry System as demonstrated by results obtained in the studies.
