Intended Use

The ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen tests for the presence of elevated levels of albumin in urine. Elevated urmary albumin is also known as microalbuminuria. Elevated albumin is an early sign of possible kidney damage. Detection of elevated urinary albumin can aid in the early detection and monitoring of the course of incipient nephropathy in diabetics and hypertensive patients. For IN VITRO diagnostic use.

Device Story

ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen is an immunochromatographic test strip in a plastic housing; used for semi-quantitative detection of albumin in urine. Input: urine sample. Principle: capillary action carries urine and blue-colored latex beads (conjugated with monoclonal mouse anti-human albumin antibodies) up the strip. Albumin binds to beads; at low levels, beads bind to a lower band (human albumin); at levels >18 mg/L, beads bind to an upper band (goat anti-mouse antibodies), creating a darker color than the lower band. Output: visual comparison of two blue bands to determine if albumin is negative (≤18 mg/L) or positive (>18 mg/L). Used in physician office laboratories (POL) or clinical settings; operated by trained laboratory personnel or POL users. Results aid clinicians in early detection and monitoring of kidney damage in diabetic and hypertensive patients.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated via precision studies and comparative testing. Internal 20-day precision study showed 100% agreement. Physician Office Laboratory (POL) studies (n=6 proficiency samples) showed 91% agreement with expected results, comparable to 95% agreement by trained lab personnel. Clinical comparison against two predicate methods (DCLare™ and quantitative assays) demonstrated 95% sensitivity, 95-97% specificity, and 95-97% efficiency.

Technological Characteristics

Immunochromatographic test strip; monoclonal mouse anti-human albumin antibodies bound to colored latex beads; human albumin fixed at lower band; goat anti-mouse antibodies fixed at upper band; plastic housing; capillary action-based migration; semi-quantitative visual readout; no external energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for detection of microalbuminuria (elevated urinary albumin) in patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or renal disease associated with pregnancy. Used to identify patients at risk for kidney disease and monitor incipient nephropathy.

Image /page/1/Picture/4 description: The image shows a stylized, bold, and black graphic of the letters 'ddj'. The letters are interconnected, with the 'd' on the left and the 'j' on the right sharing a common vertical stroke. The overall design is simple and modern, with a focus on the interplay of positive and negative space.

## Intended Use:

The ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen tests for the presence of elevated levels of albumin in urine. Elevated urmary albumin is also known as microalbuminuria. Elevated albumin is an early sign of possible kidney damage. Detection of elevated urinary albumin can aid in the early detection and monitoring of the course of incipient nephropathy in diabetics and hypertensive patients. For IN VITRO diagnostic use.

# Technological Characteristics:

ImmunoDip™ Urmary Albumin Screen is an immunochromatographic test strip containing monoclonal mouse antibodies against human serum albumin bound to colored latex beads. Human albumin is fixed in a band at the bottom half of the testing region. Goat anti-mouse antibodies are fixed in a band at the top half of the testing region. The dipstick is encased in an open-ended plastic housing.

When the dipstick is placed into a urine sample cup, the urine sample migrates up the test stip, Albumin present in the urine binds with blue colored latex beads present in the strip. Both beads and albumin are carried up the device by capillary action. At low levels of albumin, the great majority of blue beads are bound at the lower band containing human albumin. At higher levels of albumin, many of the beads pass through the lower band and are bound at the upper band. Levels of albumin above the decision level value of 18 mg/L will produce color on the upper band which is darket than the lower band. By observing the appearance of the two lines, the user can semi-quantitatively determine the urine microalbumin concentration as either Negative (s18 mg/L), or Positive(>18 mg/L),

# Assessment of Performance:

The performance characteristics on the ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen were evaluated in precision studies to determine the within-day, between -day, within-run and between-run precision. Physician Office Laboratory (POL) studies were carried out in which the performance of trained laboratory technicians was compared against that of POL users. Clinical studies which compared results obtained with the Urinary Albumin Screen against three existing uring albumm assay methods were also carried out.

In an internal 20 day precision study utilizing two levels of albumin in urine, 100% agreement was obtained between two operators and two additional observers in all instances of within-day, betweenday, within-run and between-run testing.

In the POL studies, professional and POL users participated in the evaluations of six proficiency samples over a clinically relevant range of concentrations (4.5 mg/L, 9.0 mg/L, 15 mg/L, 22 mg/L, 36 mg/L and 72 mg/L). The POL results showed an overall agreement with expected results of 91% (range of 89% 94%). This was not significantly different form the results obtained with trained laboratory personnel who reported overall agreement of 95% (range 93%).

The majority of deviations from expected results were observed at the two sampling levels nearest the 18 mg/L level that separate the positive and negative results. Excluding the 15 and 22 mg/L samples, both groups exceeded 98% accuracy. No significant differences were observed withinrun (15 replicates), between-runs (5 different days), or between sites (3 POL sites). Results demonstrated that lay users can obtain results equivalent to those obtained by trained laboratory workers.

The performance of ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen on clinical urine samples was compared against that of two predicate methods; the sem-quantitative DCLare™ ImmunoDip™ Stick for Microalbuminuria (K972337) and full quantitative urinary albumin testing using the Beckman Array (K922273) and the Kamiya (Crestat) Microalbumin Assay (K934146). Specificity ranged from 95-97%. Sensitivity was 95% against both methodologies. Efficiency ranged from 95-97%. These results indicate that the ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen gives performance which is substantially equivalent to that of existing methods for urinary albumin measurement.

# CONCLUSION:

The ImmunoDip™ Urinary Albumin Screen provides a convenient method for screening for microalbuminuria. Studies indicate that use of the device by POL users provides results which are comparable to the results obtained by trained laboratory personnel. The ImmunoDip Urinary Albumin Screen provides results which are comparable to other methods currently used in chical laboratories and physicians office laboratories ..

# INDICATIONS FOR USE

### 510(k) Number (if known): K994035

### Device Name: ImmunoDip Urinary Albumin Screen

#### Indications for Use:

There are several kidney disease conditions that can produce high levels of albumin in urine (1). Determining albumin in the wine at the low lowels measured by this test is helpful for early detection and trestment of petients it risk for reast (Listany) disease. Low but eleveled urinary albuminuria, refers to a level of the human protein albumin in nime shout 18 mg . Levels above 18 mg L are not normally found in healthy individuals. These low bet eigificant levels are not detectable with older dipstick assuys. The ImmoDig™ Uniony Albumin Screen classifies samples as postive or negative based on their being above or below a level of 18 mg/L.

Conditions in which elevated levels of albumin in urine may be present include: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes (2-8); bypertension (9, 10); and real disease found in pregancy (11). There are other best as well. Distans is the largest single cause. One study found 45% of the insulin-timental disbetics develop secious kidney disease (3). Testing for elevelod levels of albumin in wine helps to identify those diabetics who are prone to kidney disease. Scientifics studies indicate that proper control of blood sugar) levels and blood pressure help slow or prevent kidney damage (1,9).
