L. Test Principle:
The AMS Diagnostics glucose hexokinase method is based on a modification of Slein, using hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase to catalyze the reaction. Glucose is phosphorylated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the reaction catalyzed by hexokinase (HK). The product, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is then oxidized with the concomitant reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH in the reaction catalyzed by glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PDH). The formation of NADH causes an increase in absorbance at 340 nm. The increase is directly proportional to the amount of glucose in the sample.

ISE module measures the potentials developed when the sample is positioned in the electrodes. Next, Calibrant A is positioned in the electrodes. The difference in the two potentials is related logarithmically to the concentration of the measured ions in the sample divided by their respective concentrations in the Calibrant solution.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Three levels of serum based chemistry controls were evaluated; the value of one level is in the normal range, the other two levels above or below the normal range. Within Run Precision was performed by running each precision sample twenty times in a single run. Total Run Precision is performed for a minimum of 20 days.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The assays were evaluated for the result variation difference between test method measurements and that of a known standard over the full range of expected values. The studies were performed using multilevel linearity material run in duplicate with freshly prepared reagents. The linearity sample concentrations included values at the high and low end of reagents' linear ranges. The run included normal, and abnormal control material to evaluate validity of the assay.

Linear Range claimed Slope intercept

Glucose 13 to 500 mg/dL 1.023 0.4

Na (Sodium) 24 - 200 mmol/L 1.003 0.1

K (Potassium) 1.1 - 10.0 mmol/L 1.000 0.14

CL (Chloride) 28 - 150 mmol/L 1.006 -0.5

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

Not Applicable

d. Detection limit:
The limit of detection for Glucose was determined, first by determining the Level of Blank (LOB) using analyte free samples run 30 times over three days; then the Limit of Detection (LOD) using low analyte samples run 30 times over three days; and then qualifying the LOD to be less than a CV of 20% (4.63) to establish the Level of Quantitation (LOQ)=LOD.

Glucose - Level of Quantitation (LOQ) 12.77 mg/dL
ISE - Not Applicable using linearity as lower limit of detection

e. Analytical specificity:
Studies to determine the level of interference for hemoglobin, bilirubin, and lipemia were carried out, the following results were obtained:

Glucose
- Hemoglobin: Use fresh unhemolyzed serum removed from the clot as soon as possible. No significant interference (± 10%) from hemoglobin up to 1000 mg/dL.
- Bilirubin: No significant interference (± 10%) from bilirubin up to 21.7 mg/dL.
- Lipemia: No significant interference (± 10%) from lipemia up to 407 mg/dL measured as triglycerides.

ISE

No significant interference (± 10% / ± 3 mmol/L) up to the below levels

|   | Hemolysis | Lipemia | Bilirubin  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Na (Sodium) | 1000 mg/dL | 1084.5 mg/dL | 19.3 mg/dL  |
|  K (Potassium) | 1000 mg/dL | 1084.5 mg/dL | 21.7 mg/dL  |
|  CL (Chloride) | 900 mg/dL | 1084.5 mg/dL | 21.7 mg/dL  |
