The Teco Diagnostics Creatine Kinase liquid reagent is intended for in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of creatine kinase activity in human serum. Measurements of creatine kinase are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases such as progressive, Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.
Device Story
Teco Diagnostics Creatine Kinase Liquid Reagent is an in vitro diagnostic assay for measuring creatine kinase (CK) activity in human serum. The device utilizes a kinetic method to quantify CK levels. It is intended for use by clinical laboratory professionals to assist in the diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction and various muscle disorders, such as Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy. The reagent is designed for use with automated or semi-automated clinical chemistry analyzers. By providing quantitative data on CK activity, the device enables healthcare providers to assess muscle tissue damage or cardiac events, facilitating timely clinical decision-making and patient monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of analytical bench testing: precision (within-run CV 0.5-2.1%, between-run CV 1.0-2.5%), linearity (7-1100 IU/L, r²=0.9996), limit of detection (5.5 IU/L), and interference studies (bilirubin, hemoglobin, cholesterol). Method comparison study using 97 patient serum samples against the predicate device yielded a correlation of r=0.9995 and regression Y=1.001X+1.417. Reference range established using 138 normal adults.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid reagent for kinetic enzymatic assay of creatine kinase in human serum. Designed for use on clinical chemistry analyzers. Standard in vitro diagnostic reagent formulation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of creatine kinase activity in human serum to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases, including progressive Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A creatine phosphokinase/creatine kinase or isoenzymes test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme creatine phosphokinase or its isoenzymes (a group of enzymes with similar biological activity) in plasma and serum. Measurements of creatine phosphokinase and its isoenzymes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases such as progressive, Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.

L. Test Principle:
The Teco Diagnostics Creatine Kinase Liquid reagent measures Creatine Kinase activity in the sample via the following mechanism:
Creatine phosphate + ADP ---> creatine + ATP
{3}
$$
\mathrm {A T P} + \text {g l u c o s e} \xrightarrow {\text {H e x o k i n a s e}} \mathrm {A D P} + \text {g l u c o s e - 6 - p h o s p h a t e (G - 6 - P)}
$$
$$
\mathrm {G} - 6 - \mathrm {P D H}
$$
$$
\mathrm {G} - 6 - \mathrm {P} + \mathrm {N A D P} ^ {-} \longrightarrow 6 - \text {p h o s p h o g l u c o n a t e} + \mathrm {N A D P H} + \mathrm {H} ^ {-}
$$
The rate of formation of NADPH, measured at $340~\mathrm{nm}$, is directly proportional to serum Creatine Kinase activity.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
A precision study was performed using three levels of commercial controls following a modification of the CLSI EP5-A. Samples were run 21 times per day for within-run precision and five times per day for 5 days for run-to-run precision on the Beckman Synchron CX7 delta analyzer. Mean, SD, and %CVs were calculated for within-run and run-to-run precision and are shown in the tables below:
Within-run precision on the Beckman Synchron CX 7 delta analyzer:
| | Mean (IU/L) | SD (IU/L) | CV% (Within run) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Control Level 1 | 51 | 1.1 | 2.1 |
| Control Level 2 | 226 | 1.6 | 0.7 |
| Control Level 3 | 539 | 2.7 | 0.5 |
Run-to-run precision on the Beckman Synchron CX 7 delta analyzer:
| | Mean (IU/L) | SD (IU/L) | CV% (Between run) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Control Level 1 | 50 | 1.2 | 2.4 |
| Control Level 2 | 229 | 5.6 | 2.5 |
| Control Level 3 | 539 | 5.1 | 1.0 |
#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A linearity study was performed using a commercially available linearity set and mixing a high level (1406 U/L) and a lower level (955 U/L) to achieve a pool sample of CK concentrations of 1255 U/L. This pool sample was then serially diluted with water to obtain 10 different concentrations (1046, 837, 628, 418, 209, 105, 52, 26, 13.1, 6.54U/L) of CK. Each concentration was tested in duplicate to determine the mean concentration on the Synchron CX 7 delta analyzer. Values were plotted for the expected concentrations (X) versus the observed concentrations (Y) and an
{4}
appropriate line fitted by standard linear regressions was calculated as follows:
$$
Y = 0.9997X + 6.3353, r^2 = 0.9996.
$$
The data provided supports the sponsor’s claim that the assay has a linearity/reportable range of 7-1100 IU/L.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
There is no calibration required for this assay. The sponsor stated that this assay is traceable to the IFCC reference method.
A real-time stability study is still on-going to evaluate the shelf-life of the reagent. An accelerated stability study was performed to support the shelf-life claim of the reagent for 18 months. On-board stability (open vial) of the reagents was evaluated and the studies support an on-board stability claim of 7 days when stored at 2-8°C.
d. Detection limit:
A detection limit study was performed to assess the detection limit of the Creatine Kinase liquid reagent. The study was performed based on the CLSI EP17-A guideline. One blank sample and three low level samples were assayed 6 times a day for four days on the Synchron CX7 Delta analyzer. The limit of detection (LoD) is defined as the concentration that can be distinguished from zero with 95% confidence. The sponsor claims that the calculated limit of detection (LoD) for this assay is 5.5 IU/L.
e. Analytical specificity:
An interference study was conducted to determine the effect of common interferents based on the CLSI EP7-A guidelines. Two levels of serum controls with different CK activity (100, 300 IU/L) were tested on the Synchron CX7 Delta analyzer. The following interferents were tested: bilirubin, hemoglobin, and cholesterol. Stock solutions of the above chemicals were prepared and spiked into the tested samples with different concentrations. The % bias was calculated based on the differences between the spiked sample and the control sample. Non-interference was defined as <10% bias. Results of the interference studies of various potential interferents are shown as follows:
Bilirubin: Interference ≤ 6% for up to 15mg/dL bilirubin
Hemoglobin: Interference ≤ 8% for up to 500 mg/dL hemoglobin
Cholesterol: Interference ≤ 2% for up to 1000 mg/dL cholesterol
The sponsor stated the following limitation in the package insert:
“Certain drugs and medications may affect the activity of CK, see Young, et al.”

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A method comparison study was performed using 97 patient serum samples. In order to cover the entire analytical range, 11 samples were either diluted or spiked.
