Indications for Use
The Access Testosterone assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of total testosterone levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems. Measurement of testosterone are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the male sex hormones (androgens), including primary and secondary hypogonadism, delayed or precocious puberty, impotence in males and, in females hirsutism (excessive hair) and virilization (masculinization) due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, and adrenogenital syndromes.
Device Story
Access Testosterone assay is a competitive binding immunoenzymatic assay; utilizes paramagnetic particles and chemiluminescence. Input: human serum or plasma samples. Operation: automated on Dxl 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer; reagent pack, calibrators, substrate (Lumi-Phos PRO), and wash buffer used. Output: quantitative total testosterone concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. Healthcare providers use results to diagnose/treat androgen-related conditions (e.g., hypogonadism, hirsutism, virilization). Benefits: provides standardized, automated measurement of testosterone levels to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison study (n=108 serum samples) demonstrated equivalence to the predicate (R²=0.98, slope 0.95). Linearity verified across 0.4–16.0 ng/mL range. Precision studies (repeatability, within-run, between-run, between-day) met acceptance criteria (SD ≤ 0.14 ng/mL for concentrations ≤ 1.4 ng/mL; CV ≤ 10.0% for concentrations > 1.4 ng/mL). LoB 0.2 ng/mL, LoD 0.4 ng/mL, LoQ 0.4 ng/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Competitive binding chemiluminescent immunoassay. Paramagnetic particle-based. Automated. Analyte: Testosterone. Standardization: USP reference material. Measuring range: 0.4–16.0 ng/mL. Instrument: Dxl 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. Substrate: Lumi-Phos PRO. Sample types: serum, plasma (heparin).
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of total testosterone in human serum and plasma to aid in diagnosis and treatment of androgen-related disorders, including hypogonadism, puberty disorders, and impotence in males, and hirsutism and virilization in females.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A testosterone test system is a device intended to measure testosterone (a male sex hormone) in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurement of testosterone are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the male sex hormones (androgens), including primary and secondary hypogonadism, delayed or precocious puberty, impotence in males and, in females hirsutism (excessive hair) and virilization (masculinization) due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, and adrenogenital syndromes.
