## Indications for Use

Mission Glucose Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of glucose in serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine on the Beckman Synchron CX® & CX® Delta Systems. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, idiopathic hypoglycemia, and pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

## Device Story

Reagent for quantitative glucose determination in serum, plasma, CSF, and urine; used on Beckman Synchron CX® and CX® Delta systems. Operates via oxygen rate method; Beckman oxygen electrode measures rate of oxygen consumption, which is directly proportional to glucose concentration in sample. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is a numerical glucose value (mg/dL) displayed by the host instrument. Healthcare providers use results to diagnose and manage carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Benefits include accurate glucose monitoring for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Evidence is based on bench testing, including precision/reproducibility (N=18 to 80 per sample type), linearity (0.6–25 mmol/L), and method comparison against the predicate. Method comparison studies (N=50 serum, 57 urine, 36 CSF) showed high correlation (r² ≥ 0.997) and regression slopes near 1.0. Functional sensitivity is 10 mg/dL (CV < 20%).

## Technological Characteristics

Quantitative electrochemical assay; oxygen rate method using an oxygen electrode. Reagent composition: 590 U/mL glucose oxidase, 10% denatured alcohol, 0.04 mol/L potassium iodide, buffers, ammonium molybdate, and preservatives. Form factor: 500 mL liquid reagent. Designed for use with Beckman Synchron CX®/CX® Delta Systems. Complies with NCCLS EP5-A and EP9-A2 guidance.

## Regulatory Identification

A glucose test system is a device intended to measure glucose quantitatively in blood and other body fluids. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia, and idiopathic hypoglycemia, and of pancreatic islet cell carcinoma.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is solely intended for use as a drink to test glucose tolerance, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.

## Predicate Devices

{2}

|  Sample | Mean mg/dL | Mean within run SD N=3 | Total Run SD | Total Mean mg/dL | Total SD - all runs | % CV | N  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  DControl 1 | 90 | 0.6 | 1.7 | 93 | 4.2 | 4.5 | 51  |
|  DControl 2 | 305 | 1.5 | 0.3 | 319 | 13.1 | 4.1 | 51  |
|  Urine 1 Cntrl | 43 | 0.6 | 0.3 | 43 | 2.0 | 4.6 | 35  |
|  Urine 2 Cntrl | 286 | 2.2 | 2.5 | 295 | 10.8 | 3.7 | 57  |
|  CSF1 Cntrl | 53 | 1.4 | 2.9 | 52 | 2.6 | 5.0 | 32  |
|  CSF2 Cntrl | 92 | 1.1 | 4.9 | 90 | 3.9 | 4.4 | 32  |

Additional data were submitted as follows. Data was collected per NCCLS EP5-A. Samples were assayed in duplicates twice a day for 20 days.

|   | N | Mean mg/dL | Within-run SD | W/in run %CV | Total SD | Total %CV  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  CSF Control 1 | 80 | 59 | 0.8 | 1.3 | 3.8 | 6.3  |

|  Urine Control 2 | 80 | 287 | 2.4 | 0.8 | 14.4 | 5.0  |

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The following useable range was specified by the sponsor:

0.6 - 25 mmol/L (or 10 - 450 mg/dL) for serum, plasma, urine, or CSF.

The CX® Systems Over Range Detection and Correction (ORDAC) function will accommodate samples with glucose concentrations between 25 - 50 mmol/L (450 - 900 mg/dL). Users are instructed to dilute these samples that exceed the high end of the analytic range with saline and reanalyze. (an integrated function of the instrument, K942676, K864236)

Percent recovery was evaluated on linearly diluted samples. Pooled serum, urine, or CSF samples were spiked to achieve glucose concentrations in the upper end of the measurement range of the assay. These samples were then diluted, expected concentrations were calculated and each pool was measured using both Mission reagents and the predicate reagents. Results are summarized below.

{3}

|   | Reagents | Range of % Recovery | Mean Recovery  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Serum | Mission | 83.3 – 115.4 | 103 %  |
|  30 – 835 mg/dL | Predicate | 83.3 – 117.5 | 103 %  |
|  Urine | Mission | 88 – 120 | 101 %  |
|  10 – 300 mg/dL | Predicate | 87 – 110 | 97 %  |
|  CSF | Mission | 88 – 98 | 94 %  |
|  25 – 100 mg/dL | Predicate | 88 - 100 | 95 %  |

# c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

Not applicable in this submission. The use of appropriate commercially available control materials is recommended.

# d. Detection limit:

Serum samples with low glucose concentrations were tested in triplicate over 13 runs. Results are summarized below.

|  Mean (mg/dL) | SD | %CV  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  41.9 | 1.52 | 3.6  |
|  14.7 | 0.75 | 5.1  |
|  9.8 | 0.95 | 9.7  |
|  3.6 | 1.35 | 37.6  |
|  2.0 | 0.65 | 32.4  |

The sponsor claims a functional sensitivity of  $10\mathrm{mg / dL}$  glucose (the lowest level tested with a CV less than  $20\%$ ).

# e. Analytical specificity:

Whole blood samples are not recommended. Lipemic samples  $&gt; + 3$  should be ultracentrifuged and the analysis performed on the supernatant fraction. The sponsor refers the user to literature references for other interferences caused by drugs and diseases.

$5.0\mathrm{mg / dL}$  Hydroxyethyl starch may cause a result increase of  $3\mathrm{mg / dL}$ .

20 mmol/L Glutathione may cause a result increase of  $31\mathrm{mg / dL}$

The following anticoagulants or chemical additives are compatible with this method:

|  Anticoagulants | Acceptable level  |
| --- | --- |
|  Sodium Citrate® | 3.5 mg/mL  |
|  EDTA | 4.0 mg/mL  |
|  Ammonium Heparin | 45 U/mL  |
|  Lithium Heparin | 45 U/mL  |
|  Sodium Heparin | 45 U/mL  |
|  Lithium Iodoacetate | 1.5 mg/mL  |

|  CSF | 2.2 – 3.9 | 40 - 70  |
|  Urine | 0.06 – 0.8 | 1- 15  |

The sponsor states that normal fasting glucose is between 70 and 110 mg/dL. Diabetes (hyperglycemia) is diagnosed when patient glucose levels are: fasting glucose &gt; 126 mg/dL, serum glucose of &gt; 200 mg/dL, or other symptoms. Hypoglycemia is diagnosed when patient glucose levels are &lt; 60 mg/dL.

The sponsor states that these values are intended as a reference, and that no adjustments have been made for age, sex, or dietary differences. Each laboratory should establish a reference range based on their patient population.

M. Conclusion:
I recommend that the Mission Diagnostic Glucose Reagent for Beckman Synchron CX® &amp; CX® Delta Systems is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
