Device Story
Randox Liquid CK-MB is an immunoinhibition assay kit used on RX Daytona and RX Imola clinical chemistry analyzers. Input: patient serum or plasma samples. Principle: mouse monoclonal anti-human CK-M antibody inhibits CK-M subunit activity; remaining CK-B activity is measured via kinetic rate immunoassay (CK NAC method) at 340/700nm; result multiplied by factor of two to determine CK-MB activity. Output: quantitative CK-MB concentration (U/L). Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel to assist in myocardial infarction diagnosis and treatment. Benefits: provides rapid, automated assessment of cardiac biomarker levels to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (CLSI EP5) conducted on RX Daytona and RX Imola systems over 20 days showed total CVs ranging from 2.5% to 12.5%. Linearity established up to 2000 U/L (Daytona) and 1100 U/L (Imola). Method comparison (CLSI EP9-A2) against the predicate on 90-93 patient samples yielded correlation coefficients (r) of 0.999. Interference testing showed no significant interference from common substances at tested concentrations. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) determined to be 7.00 U/L (Daytona) and 6.00 U/L (Imola).
Indicated for quantitative in vitro determination of CK-MB concentration in serum and plasma for the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). For use in clinical laboratories by professional users.

# L. Test Principle:
The Randox Liquid CK-MB is an immunoinhibition assay. The CK reagent contains an antibody to the M subunit of CK-MB which inhibits the M subunit activity. Thus, only the activity of the B subunit is measured. The activity is multiplied by 2 yielding the activity of CK-MB in the sample.
The R1 reagent contains anti CK-MM antibody (mouse monoclonal) which binds the M subunit of CK in the serum sample thereby inhibiting the activity of the CK- M subunit. The CK-B activity is determined by the CK NAC method.

The rate of increase of absorbance at $340/700\mathrm{nm}$ due to the formation of NADPH is directly proportional to the activity of CK in the sample and if the activity is multiplied by a factor of two it will give the activity of CK-MB in the sample.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity studies were conducted following the sponsor’s internal protocol and acceptance criteria and in accordance with CLSI document EP06-A. Two pools were used to assess the linearity of the assay used. The two pools of CK-MB stripped human serum were spiked with CK-MB and diluted to obtain 11 equally distributed levels with expected values of 7.00-2200 U/L for the RX Daytona and 6.0-1100 U/L for the RX Imola. Based on the data, linearity across the measuring range for each analyzer is summarized below:
| Instrument | Slope | Intercept | Sy x | r | Measuring Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Daytona | 1.02 | -1.27 | 26.56 | 0.99 | 7-2000 U/L |
| Imola | 0.97 | 3.20 | 8.17 | 1.00 | 6-1100 U/L |
Recovery studies demonstrated that the measuring range can be extended up to 10,200 U/L CK-MB for the RX Daytona and Imola analyzers to within $\pm 10\%$ of the CK-MB concentration.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The Randox CK-MB calibrators have in-house traceability.
Calibrator value assignment and stability:
Value assignment for calibrator:
A mean value for new lots of the CK-MB calibrator are established by performing nested testing of the new calibrator lot against a master lot. Values for the new lot must meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria for the device. New master lots of calibrators are evaluated against the previous master lot and values must fall within the sponsor’s predetermined acceptance criteria.
CK-MB calibrator shelf life stability was evaluated in real time at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and -75 to $-90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. The CK-MB calibrator once reconstituted, is stable in serum for 5 days at
{6}
+4°C, 8 hours at +25°C and 4 weeks at -20°C when frozen once. All data and protocols were found to be acceptable to support the stability claims above.
## Reagent stability:
The Randox Liquid CK-MB reagent components (CK-MB buffer and CK-MB substrate) are ready for use. Based on real time and accelerated studies proved the reagents contained are stable up to 12 months when stored unopened at +2 to +8°C and are stable for 28 days at +10°C on board the RX Daytona and RX Imola. All data and protocols were found to be acceptable to support the stability claims above.
## d. Detection limit:
Limit of Blank (LoB.), a Limit of Detection (LoD.) and a Limit of Quantification (LoQ) studies were performed in accordance with CLSI guideline EP17-A .on the RX Daytona and RX Imola systems. The LoB study analyzed 60 saline samples. Determination of the LoB was based on the 95th percentile for the results. Stripped human serum, spiked with CK-MB was used to perform the LoD and LoQ studies. The LoD study analyzed 60 samples with CK-MB values ranging from 1-4 U/L. Results were analyzed according to recommendations in CLSI EP-17A. The LoQ was determined to be the lowest concentration sample across 5 runs that had a %CV of ≤ 20% and a % deviation to the spiked target of ≤ 20%. The studies yielded the following results:
| | LoB | LoD | LoQ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Daytona | 2.90 U/L | 5.06 U/L | 7.00 U/L |
| Imola | 0.87 U/L | 2.40 U/L | 6.00 U/L |
The low ends of the measuring ranges for the RX Daytona and RX Imola CK-MB assay are based on the LoQ for each analyzer.
## e. Analytical specificity:
Common endogenous interfering substances were evaluated in accordance with CLSI Guideline EP7-A2. Human serum samples at approximate CK-MB concentrations of 20 U/L and 400 U/L were spiked with various concentrations of interferents and evaluated in triplicate at each interferent level. Absolute bias was calculated at each concentration level as compared with non-spiked human serum.
At a given concentration, a compound was defined as causing significant interference if it caused a >±10% difference when compared to the sample negative for the interfering compound. CK-MB was evaluated at 20 U/L and the 400 U/L. No interference was observed with the exception of Intralipid. Results are summarized below:
