Indications for Use
For the quantitative determination of creatine kinase activity in serum and plasma. Rx Only. Measurements of Creatine Kinase are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle disease, such as progressive Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.
Device Story
Pointe Scientific Creatine Kinase (CK) Reagent Set is an in vitro diagnostic, quantitative enzymatic colorimetric assay. It utilizes liquid reagents (CK R1 and R2) to catalyze the transphosphorylation of ADP to ATP, resulting in NADPH production at a rate proportional to CK activity. The device is designed for use on the Mindray BA-800M chemistry analyzer. The system measures NADPH absorbance increase per minute at 340 nm. Healthcare providers use the resulting CK activity levels to assist in the diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction and muscle disorders. The assay is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via precision (CLSI EP05-A3), linearity (CLSI EP06-A), interference (CLSI EP07-A3), and detection limits (CLSI EP17-A2). Method comparison studies (n=120 serum, n=123 plasma) against the predicate device showed strong correlation (Deming regression: Y=1.041X-5.2, r=0.9991 for serum; Y=1.032X-0.4, r=0.9946 for plasma).
Indicated for quantitative determination of creatine kinase activity in serum and plasma for patients requiring diagnosis or treatment of myocardial infarction or muscle diseases, such as 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.

A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
The precision study was conducted following the recommendations in the CLSI EP05-A3 guideline using one lot of reagents on one Mindray BA-800M analyzer. Two levels of quality controls, three levels of pooled serum samples, and three levels of pooled lithium heparin

plasma samples were tested in duplicate twice per day for twenty days. The precision study results are summarized below:

*Total: a composite of within-run, between-run and between-day imprecision
2. Linearity:
Linearity studies were performed following the recommendations in the CLSI EP06-A guideline. Linearity testing was conducted using a set of 12 serum samples ranging from 9 to 1700 U/L and 12 lithium heparin plasma samples ranging from 8 to 1595 U/L. The samples were prepared by admixture of high-level and low-level sample pools. The dilutions were analyzed in duplicate using two lots of reagent on one Mindray BA-800M. The maximum deviation from linearity observed was 8 %. The linearity study data supports the claimed measuring range of 9 to 1200 U/L.
Dilution Recovery Studies:
The sponsor provided data supporting the claim that values of highly concentrated samples can be accurately determined through dilution. The instructions for use recommend a 1:10 dilution in saline if results fall beyond the linear range of the assay.
3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:
Interference studies were conducted following recommendations in the CLSI EP07-A3 guideline to assess several common endogenous substances that could interfere with the assay. Each interferent was tested with one lot of reagent on one Mindray BA-800M. All interferents were evaluated with serum and lithium heparin plasma samples with CK concentrations ranging from 43.0 to 268.0 U/L. Significant interference was defined as a percent difference greater than 10% from the control. Results are summarized below:
| Interferent | Highest Concentration at which no significant interference was observed |
| --- | --- |
| Bilirubin (Conjugated and Unconjugated) | 60 mg/dL |
| Ascorbic Acid | 500 mg/dL |
| Hemoglobin | 500 mg/dL |
| Intralipid | 1382 mg/dL |
4. Assay Reportable Range:
K191296 - Page 4 of 6
{4}
The claimed measuring range is from 9 to 1200 U/L.
5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Traceability: The Pointe Creatine Kinase Assay is traceable to the IFCC reference method.
6. Detection Limit:
Limits of detection studies were performed following the recommendations in the CLSI EP17-A2 guideline. Each study was performed on one Mindray BA-800M.
The limit of blank (LoB) study analyzed 60 saline samples and was determined as the 95th percentile of the measurements of the blank samples. The LoB was determined to be 2 U/L.
The limit of detection (LoD) was determined using low-level depleted serum and lithium heparin plasma samples per the classical approach described in the CLSI guideline. The LoD was determined to be 4 U/L.
The limit of quantitation (LoQ) describes the lowest amount of creatine kinase that can be determined quantitatively within a defined precision (<20% CV). A series of 5 low activity samples were each run in 8 replicates over a range of 5 days using a single lot of reagent. The LoQ was determined to be 9 U/L.
7. Assay Cut-Off:
Not applicable
B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Two studies, one comparing serum specimens and one comparing lithium heparin plasma specimens, were performed. For the study using serum samples, a total of 120 deidentified serum samples were tested in duplicate using the candidate device and the predicate device across the assay range of 9–1188 U/L. Of these samples, 4 were altered by mixing two samples together to obtain an analyte level within the measurement range. The first replicate obtained with the candidate and predicate devices for each sample was used in the analysis. Deming regression analysis gave the following equation:
$$
Y = 1.041 X - 5.2 U/L, r = 0.9991
$$
For the study using plasma samples, a total of 123 deidentified lithium heparin plasma samples were tested in duplicate using the candidate device and the predicate device across the assay range of 9–1119 U/L. Of these samples, 2 were altered by mixing two samples together to obtain an analyte level within the measurement range. The first replicate obtained with the candidate and predicate devices for each sample was used in the analysis. Deming regression analysis gave the following equation:

2. **Matrix Comparison:**
Not applicable. The results from the performance studies described above support the sponsor's claim that human serum and lithium heparin plasma specimens are acceptable sample types to be used with this assay.
**C Clinical Studies:**

Not applicable
2. **Clinical Specificity:**
Not applicable
3. **Other Clinical Supportive Data (When 1. and 2. Are Not Applicable):**
Not applicable
**D Clinical Cut-Off:**
Not applicable
**E Expected Values/Reference Range:**
This information is the same as for the predicate device. The expected values in an adult population are 30-223 U/L creatine kinase. The labeling also states that the reference range should serve only as a guideline. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values, since differences exist between instruments, laboratories and local populations.
**VIII Proposed Labeling:**
The labeling supports the finding of substantial equivalence for this device.
**IX Conclusion:**
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
