Intended Use
VITROS AFP Reagent Pack - For the in vitro quantitative measurement of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum to aid in the management of patients with non-seminomatous testicular cancer. VITROS AFP Calibrators - For in vitro use in the calibration of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic System for the quantitative measurement of AFP in human serum.
Device Story
VITROS AFP assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative measurement of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum. Used as an aid in managing patients with non-seminomatous testicular cancer. System utilizes coated microwells as solid phase separation and luminescence as signal detection. Input is human serum sample (25 µL); processed via automated VITROS Immunodiagnostic System instrumentation. Assay involves two 16-minute incubations at 37°C with shaking. Employs sheep polyclonal anti-AFP antibody (biotinylated) and mouse monoclonal anti-AFP antibody (enzyme-labeled). Output is quantitative AFP concentration (IU/mL or ng/mL). Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in monitoring disease progression or treatment response in testicular cancer patients.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated using samples from serially monitored patients diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer. Comparison to predicate device via Deming's Regression showed correlation coefficient of 0.991. Additional testing included analytical sensitivity, specificity, precision, dilution, and expected values in healthy individuals, cancer patients, and patients with non-malignant diseases. Results showed distribution patterns paralleling expected clinical outcomes.
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase immunoassay using coated microwells. Detection via luminescence. Reagents include biotinylated sheep polyclonal anti-AFP and enzyme-labeled mouse monoclonal anti-AFP. Sample volume: 25 µL. Incubation: 2x 16 minutes at 37°C. Automated instrumentation (VITROS Immunodiagnostic System).
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro quantitative measurement of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in human serum to aid in the management of patients with non-seminomatous 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. Device Name
Trade or Proprietary Name: VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP assay Common Name: Alpha-Fetoprotein assay Classification Name: Alpha-Fetoprotein test kit for testicular cancer
## 3. Predicate Device
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP assay is substantially equivalent to the Abbott AxSYM System AFP (P820060S8).
#### 4. Device Description
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System uses luminescence as the signal in the quantitative and semi-quantitative determination of selected analytes in human body fluids, commonly serum. Coated microwells are used as the solid phase separation system.
The system is comprised of three main elements:
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products (in this case VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP Reagent Pack, VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP Calibrators, which are combined by the VITROS Immunodiagnostic System to perform the VITROS AFP assay).
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System - instrumentation, which provides automated use of the immunoassay kits. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System was cleared for market by a separate 510(k) pre-market notification (K962919).
{1}------------------------------------------------
Common reagents used by the VITROS System in each assay. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Signal Reagent and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Universal Wash Reagent were cleared as part of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total T3 510(k) pre-market notification (K984310).
The VITROS System and common reagents are dedicated specifically only for use with the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products range of immunoassay products.
#### 5. Device Intended Use
The VITROS AFP assay is intended for the in vitro quantitative measurement of albhafetoprotein (AFP) in human serum, to aid in the management of patients with non-seminomatous testicular cancer.
### 6. Comparison to Predicate Device
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP assay is substantially equivalent to Abbott AxSYM System AFP (predicate device), which was approved by FDA (P820060S8) for IVD use.
The relationship between the VITROS AFP assay and the predicate device, determined by Deming's Regression, is:
VITROS AFP assay = 0.889 x [AxSYM AFP assay] + 2.60 (IU/mL), with a correlation coefficient of 0.991.
Comparisons of the VITROS AFP assay and the predicate device were performed with samples from serially monitored patients diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer.
In addition to the studies mentioned above, tests were performed to obtain analytical sensitivity, specificity, precision, dilution and expected values. Refer to the VITROS AFP assay package insert for VITROS AFP assay results.
Table 1 lists the similarities and differences of the device characteristics between the VITROS AFP assay with the predicate device. Abbott AxSYM AFP assay:

## 7. Conclusions
The data presented in the premarket notification demonstrate that the VITROS AFP assay performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device, for which there is an approved PMA.
Equivalence was demonstrated using currently commercially available reagents along with patient specimens covering the normal, therapeutic and diagnostic range. In clinical studies of apparently healthy individuals, patients with cancer and patients with a variety of non-malignant diseases, the VITROS AFP assay exhibited distribution results that parallel expected distributions for these patient types.
The serial monitoring study demonstrated the clinical utility of the VITROS AFP assay as an aid in the management of patients with non-seminomatous testicular cancer.
The data presented in the premarket notification provide a reasonable assurance that the VITROS AFP assay is safe and effective for the stated intended use.
