The Qualisys PSA Immunoassay is a paramagnetic particle immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in human serum. The Qualisys PSA Immunoassay is further indicated for the serial measurement of PSA as an aid in the prognosis and management of patients with prostate cancer.
Device Story
Qualisys PSA Immunoassay is a two-site chemiluminescence sandwich immunoassay for quantitative PSA measurement in human serum. Process: 100 µL sample/calibrator incubated with PSA antibody; streptavidin-coated paramagnetic particles added to bind sandwich complex; unbound materials washed away; chemiluminogenic substrate added; light emission measured by Zylux luminometer (photomultiplier). Output: Relative Light Units (RLU) proportional to PSA concentration. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by technicians. Data analysis performed via external software using cubic spline curve fitting. Assists clinicians in monitoring prostate cancer patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison study (n=108) against Abbott IMx® PSA showed correlation (y = 0.9955x + 0.5185, r^2 = 0.9747). Precision: Intra-assay CVs 1.7-3.4%, Inter-assay CVs 2.6-5.7%. Analytical sensitivity 0.003 ng/mL; functional sensitivity 0.1 ng/mL. Spike recovery 90-110%; dilution recovery 92-108%. No high dose hook effect up to 1250 ng/mL. Interference testing performed for bilirubin, hemoglobin, IgG, PAP, protein, triglycerides, and various drugs.
Technological Characteristics
Two-site sandwich immunoassay; chemiluminescence detection via photomultiplier tube. Solid-phase: streptavidin-coated paramagnetic particles. Label: Alkaline Phosphatase. Substrate: ImmuGlow™ (Indoxyl-3-phosphate and lucigenin). Instrument: Zylux luminometer. Data analysis: external software using cubic spline curve fitting. Manual processing. Storage: 2-8 °C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro quantitative determination of PSA in human serum and serial measurement of PSA to aid in prognosis and management of patients with prostate cancer.

| 4. | Device<br>description | The Qualisys PSA Immunoassay is a two-site chemiluminescense assay. 1st incubation: 15 minutes at room temperature. Specimen, control or calibrator [100 µL] and PSA Antibody Solution [100 µL] react to form a sandwich complex. 2nd incubation: 2 minutes at room temperature. Streptavidin-coated paramagnetic particle solution [25 µL] is added to the reaction mixture. After the 2-minute incubation, the sandwich complex is bound to the solid-phase via the interaction of biotin and streptavidin. Removal of unbound materials: The paramagnetic particles are washed four times with wash buffer [1.0 mL/wash] to remove unbound materials. |

Dear Ms. Kwan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
