## Indications for Use

This in vitro method is intended to quantitatively measure Free T3 in human serum on a Technicon Immuno-1 system. Measurements of Free T3 are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.

## Device Story

The Immuno 1 Free T3 method is an in vitro diagnostic assay designed for use on the Technicon Immuno-1 system. It measures Free T3 concentrations in human serum samples. The device utilizes specific reagents and calibrators to perform the assay, providing quantitative results that assist clinicians in diagnosing and managing thyroid-related conditions. The system automates the measurement process, allowing for clinical laboratory use. Results are interpreted by healthcare providers to inform clinical decision-making regarding thyroid disease status and therapeutic monitoring.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance compared to predicate device using 103 serum samples. Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.94; regression equation y = 0.95x - 0.08. Precision (between-run) reported at three concentration levels (1.7, 5.4, 12.8 pg/mL) with CVs ranging from 2.7% to 8.2%. Minimum detectable concentration reported as 0.2 pg/mL. Specificity evaluated via cross-reactivity testing against 18 substances, including thyroid hormones and common medications.

## Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic immunoassay reagents and calibrators for use on the Technicon Immuno-1 system. Quantitative measurement of Free T3 in human serum. Specificity characterized by low cross-reactivity (<0.1% for most tested substances).

## Regulatory Identification

A total triiodothyronine test system is a device intended to measure the hormone triiodothyronine in serum and plasma. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism.

## Predicate Devices

- INCSTAR Clinical Assays™ GammaCoat™ Free T3 RIA kit
