Intended Use
The Vitros® PSA is an in vitro assay intended for the quantitative measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum or plasma (EDTA or heparin) to aid in the management of patients with prostate cancer.
Device Story
VITROS PSA assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for quantitative measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum or plasma. The device utilizes the VITROS Immunodiagnostic System, which employs luminescence as a signal for detection. The system uses coated microwells as a solid phase separation system. The assay involves two mouse monoclonal anti-PSA antibodies in a biotinylated reagent and a goat polyclonal anti-PSA antibody in a conjugate reagent. The system automates the immunoassay process, providing quantitative results to clinicians. These results aid in the management of patients with prostate cancer, including serial monitoring of patients previously treated for the disease. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance was evaluated by comparing the VITROS PSA assay to the predicate device using patient specimens from normal individuals, patients with malignant disease, and patients with non-malignant diseases. Results showed distribution patterns paralleling expected clinical outcomes. A serial monitoring study confirmed equivalence in patients previously treated for prostate cancer. Analytical performance metrics included analytical sensitivity (0.02 ng/mL), precision, and dilution studies. Regression analysis against the predicate yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.989.
Technological Characteristics
Solid phase immunoassay using luminescence signal detection. Employs coated microwells as solid phase. Reagents include two mouse monoclonal anti-PSA antibodies (biotinylated) and goat polyclonal anti-PSA antibody (conjugate). Sample volume: 15 uL. Analytical sensitivity: 0.02 ng/mL. Calibration range: 0-100 ng/mL. System is automated via VITROS Immunodiagnostic System instrumentation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum or plasma (EDTA or heparin) to aid in the management of patients with prostate 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 PSA Calibrators VITROS® Immunodiagnostic Products PSA Reagent Pack
Common Name: PSA assay
Classification Name: test for the in vitro quantitative determination of prostate specific antigen in serum or plasma.
## 3. Predicate Device
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products PSA assay is substantially equivalent to the Hybritech Tandem®-R PSA (P850048).
# 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, plasma or urine. Coated microwells are used as the solid phase separation system.
The system is comprised of three main elements:
- 1. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products (in this case VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products PSA Reagent Pack, VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products PSA Calibrators, which are combined by the VITROS Immunodiagnostic System to perform the VITROS PSA assay).
{1}------------------------------------------------
- 2. 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).
- 3. 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® PSA is an in vitro assay intended for the quantitative measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in human serum or plasma (EDTA or heparin) to aid in the management of patients with prostate cancer.
## 6. Comparison to Predicate Device
The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products PSA assay is substantially equivalent to Hybritech Tandem-R PSA (predicate device), which was approved by FDA (P850048) for IVD use.
The relationship between the VITROS PSA assay and the predicate device, determined by Bablock Passing, is:
VITROS PSA assay = 1.028 x [the Tandem-R PSA assay] -- 0.089 (ng/mL), with a correlation coefficient of 0.989.
Comparisons of the VITROS PSA assay and the predicate device were performed with samples from a variety of clinical categories.
In addition to the studies mentioned above, tests were performed to obtain analytical sensitivity, specificity, precision, dilution and expected values. Refer to the VITROS PSA assay package insert for VITROS PSA assay results.
Table 1 lists the similarities and differences of the device characteristics between the VITROS PSA assay with the predicate device:

# 7. Conclusions
The data presented in the premarket notification demonstrate that the VITROS PSA assay performs substantially equivalent to the approved predicate device.
Equivalence was demonstrated using currently commercially available reagents along with patient specimens from patients who are normal, undergoing therapeutic and/or undergoing diagnostic evaluation. In clinical studies of apparently healthy individuals, patients with malignant disease and patients with a variety of non-malignant diseases, the VITROS PSA assay exhibited distribution results that parallel expected distributions for these patient types.
The serial monitoring study demonstrated that the VITROS PSA assay is substantial equivalent to the predicate device in patients previously treated for prostate cancer.
The data presented in the premarket notification provide a reasonable assurance that the VITROS PSA assay is safe and effective for the stated intended use.
