For in vitro diagnostic use.

## Device Story

Olympus Direct Bilirubin Reagent (OSR6X181) is an in vitro diagnostic reagent for use on Olympus clinical chemistry analyzers. It measures direct bilirubin levels in human serum samples. The reagent facilitates quantitative determination of bilirubin, which is produced during red blood cell destruction. Results are used by clinicians to diagnose and monitor liver, hemolytic, and metabolic conditions, including hepatitis and gallbladder obstruction. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of analytical bench testing: precision (CLSI EP5-A2), linearity (0.05–10 mg/dL), limit of quantitation, and analytical specificity (interference testing for hemoglobin and intralipid). Method comparison study (n=50-73) against predicate device showed high correlation (r > 0.99).

## Technological Characteristics

Quantitative colorimetric assay. Reagents: 3,5-Dichlorophenyl Diazonium (BF)₄ and Hydrochloric acid. Measurement: Bichromatic photometry at 540/600 nm. Form factor: Liquid reagents for automated Olympus AU series analyzers. Stability: 30 days on-board. Standards: CLSI EP9-A2, EP5-A2, C-28.

L. Test Principle:

The Olympus Direct Bilirubin Reagent utilizes a variation of the classical method developed by Van den Bergh and Mueller. Direct (conjugated) bilirubin couples directly with a diazonium salt of 3,5-dichloroaniline (DPD) in an acid medium to form azobilirubin. The direct bilirubin in serum is directly proportional to the color development of azobilirubin which is measured bichromatically at 540/600 nm.

Bilirubin + 3,5-Dichlorophenyl Diazonium (BF)₄ → Azobilirubin

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

{3}

Precision was evaluated using serum controls in accordance with CLSI EP5-A2 on the Olympus AU400, AU640, and AU2700 analyzers. The results are summarized below.

AU400

|  N = 80 | Repeatability (Within Run) |   | Within Laboratory (Total)  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Mean, mg/dL | SD | CV% | SD | CV%  |
|  0.15 | 0.01 | 4.33 | 0.01 | 5.71  |
|  2.15 | 0.01 | 0.54 | 0.06 | 2.79  |
|  5.36 | 0.04 | 0.66 | 0.14 | 2.69  |

AU640

|  5.41 | 0.04 | 0.67 | 0.19 | 3.46  |

AU5400

|  N = 80 | Repeatability (Within Run) |   | Within Laboratory (Total)  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Mean, mg/dL | SD | CV% | SD | CV%  |
|  0.14 | 0.00 | 2.75 | 0.01 | 4.11  |
|  2.16 | 0.02 | 0.72 | 0.06 | 2.73  |
|  5.33 | 0.03 | 0.57 | 0.14 | 2.67  |

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

A series of commercially available linearity panels with bilirubin concentrations ranging from $0.02\mathrm{mg / dL}$ to $12\mathrm{mg / dL}$ were analyzed on the Olympus AU400, AU640, and AU2700. Each point was assayed and the mean analytical results were plotted versus the expected concentrations. A linear regression line was calculated and the deviations of the data from linearity were compared to assay specific acceptance criteria of $\pm 15\%$ or $0.05\mathrm{mg / dL}$. All data points met the sponsor's acceptance criteria demonstrating that the assay is linear across the claimed reportable range of 0.05 to $10\mathrm{mg / dL}$.

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

No information on traceability was provided.

{4}

The reagent is stable until the date printed on the vial when stored as directed at 2° - 8°C. On board stability studies demonstrate that the reagent is stable for 30 days when opened and stored in the refrigerated compartment on the analyzer.

d. Detection limit:

The lowest detectable limit was determined by assaying an analyte free sample n=20 on each analyzer and calculating the mean plus three standard deviations. The lowest detectable limit was calculated as 0.03 mg/dL, 0.02 mg/dL, and 0.01 mg/dL on the AU400, AU640, and AU 2700, respectively.

The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was determined by preparing 12 samples with analyte concentrations ranging from 0.006 to 0.25 mg/dL and testing them once per day for 20 days. The mean concentration and %CV for each sample were plotted and a curve fit was performed to model the relationship between the concentration and %CV. The curve fit model was used to determine the LOQ, which was defined as the sample concentration with a 20% CV. The calculated LOQ was below the lowest reportable concentration of the measuring range (0.05 mg/dL) with all three analyzers tested.

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference was evaluated by diluting samples with high interferent concentrations with interferent free samples. Samples were diluted in 10% increments, resulting in 11 sample concentrations tested for each compound, and run in replicates of 4. The mean of each sample is calculated and the Percent recovery of each sample compared to the interferent free sample was determined. Samples showing a difference in recovery of less than 12% or 0.1 mg/dL for samples with &lt;0.8 mg/dL bilirubin compared to the analyte free sample were considered to be free of interference. Each interferent was tested at bilirubin concentrations of approximately 0.25 mg/dL and 1.00 mg/dL. The results demonstrated that there was no interference with up to 25 mg/dL hemoglobin or 500 mg/dL intralipid, which is approximately equivalent to 1500 mg/dL triglyceride. Interference from commonly used drugs was not tested in this assay.

f. Assay cut-off:
