Intended Use

The Access® AFP assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum using the Access Immunoassay System. AFP measured by the Access AFP Immunoassay, is used as an aid in the management of patients with nonseminomatous testicular cancer.

Device Story

The ACCESS AFP Immunoassay is a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay used on the ACCESS Immunoassay Analyzer to quantify alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum. The system utilizes monoclonal antibodies specific to AFP epitopes to bind the analyte; chemiluminescent detection provides the quantitative output. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Healthcare providers use the resulting AFP concentration values to monitor patients previously diagnosed with nonseminomatous testicular cancer. By tracking longitudinal AFP levels, clinicians can assess disease status and management efficacy. The system offers automated processing, eliminating the need for manual sample dilution for concentrations up to 3000 ng/ml.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence includes a correlation study of 170 samples (range 0.90–3000 ng/ml) comparing ACCESS AFP to the Abbott IMx AFP assay, yielding r=0.99 and y=0.91x + 3.86. Monitoring data from longitudinal samples of nonseminomatous testicular cancer patients showed high concordance between ACCESS AFP results, IMx results, and clinical assessments. Analytical performance: imprecision <6% for 6.5–1680 ng/ml; analytical sensitivity 0.5 ng/ml; recovery 96–110%. Reference range established in 177 healthy individuals (98.9% ≤ 9.0 ng/ml).

Technological Characteristics

Paramagnetic particle solid phase; chemiluminescent detection; monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay. Fully automated random access analyzer. Measures AFP up to 3000 ng/ml without dilution. 28-day calibration curve stability. On-board reagent storage for up to 24 analytes.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative determination of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum as an aid in the management of patients with nonseminomatous testicular cancer.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.

### 2. Predicate Device Abbott IMx AFP Immunofluorometric Assay Abbott Laboratories One Abbott Park Road Abbott Park, IL 60064-3500

PMA Number: P820060

#### 3. Device Description

The ACCESS® AFP Immunoassay Reagents and the ACCESS® Immunoassay Analyzer comprise the ACCESS® Immunoassay System for the quantitative determination of AFP in human serum.

#### 4. Indications for Use

The ACCESS AFP Immunoassay is a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum using the ACCESS Immunoassay System. AFP, measured by the ACCESS AFP Immunoassay, is intended for use as an aid in the management of patients with nonseminomatous testicular cancer.

#### 5. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

Both the ACCESS AFP Immunoassay and the Abbott IMx AFP assay quantitatively measure serum AFP by means of simultaneous immunoassays utilizing the binding of AFP to monoclonal antibodies specific to epitopes on the AFP molecule. Both systems utilize liquid multi-point calibrators.

The ACCESS AFP Immunoassay Reagents are designed for use on the ACCESS Immunoassay Analyzer, a fully automated random access system, while the Abbott IMx AFP assay is a batch mode system. The ACCESS Immunoassay Analyzer uses magnetic particle solid phase enzyme immunoassays with chemiluminescent detection, while the Abbott IMx AFP assay uses a glass fiber solid phase and fluorescent detection. The Access AFP assay can measure samples with AFP concentrations up to 3000 ng/ml without prior dilution while the IMx AFP assay requires dilution of samples with AFP concentrations of greater than 350 ng/ml. The ACCESS Immunoassay Analyzer stores reagents on board for up to 24 different analytes and has 28 day calibration curve stability, while Abbott IMx AFP assay is an individual analyte reagent kit.

#### 6. -Summary of Studies

Correlation: A comparison of AFP values from 170 samples, ranging from 0,90 to 3000 ng/ml, run with both the ACCESS AFP Immunoassay and the Abbott IMx AFP assay demonstrated very good agreement with the following statistical data: r = 0.99; y = 0.91x + 3.86.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Expected Range: In a population of 177 apparently healthy males and females, 98.9% had AFP values of 9.0 ng/mL or less, with the remaining 1.1% having values in the 9.1 to 15 ng/mL range.

Monitoring Data: Longitudinal samples from previously diagnosed nonseminomatous testicular cancer patients were compared using the ACCESS AFP and Abbott IMx AFP assays. The monitoring patient data demonstrate that the ACCESS AFP results are highly concordant to both the IMX AFP results and the concurrent clinical assessment.

Recovery: Linearity studies performed by diluting human serum samples with ACCESS AFP Sample Diluent provided recoveries ranging from 96 to 110%. Recovery of exogenous AFP (from cord serum) spiked into serum samples resulted in an average recovery of 99%, with individual recoveries ranging from 90 to 108%.

Precision: The ACCESS AFP assay exhibits assay imprecision of less than 6% for AFP concentrations ranging from approximately 6.5 to 1680 ng/ml.

Specificity: There was no significant interference from potential biological substances. therapeutic drugs or other cross-reacting substances.

Analytical Sensitivity: The lowest detectable level of AFP distinguishable from zero (ACCESS AFP Calibrator S0) with 95% confidence is 0.5 ng/ml.

#### 7. Conclusion

The ACCESS AFP Immunoassay Reagents, when used in conjunction with the ACCESS Immunoassay Analyzer, are substantially equivalent to another commercially available immunoassay for the measurement of serum AFP. The ACCESS AFP Immunoassay is appropriate for monitoring patients with nonseminomatous testicular cancer.
