## L. Test Principle:

The Diazyme DZ-Lite Total $\beta\mathrm{hCG}$ Test System is a sandwich chemiluminescence immunoassay. A specific mouse anti-hCG monoclonal antibody is coated on the magnetic beads; another monoclonal antibody is labeled with an isoluminol derivative.

{5}

After addition of serum sample, calibrator, or controls to the microbead-antibody conjugate, the mixture is incubated at 37 °C allowing hCG present in samples, calibrator, or controls to bind to the monoclonal antibody on the bead. After a washing step, the isoluminol derivative labeled antibody conjugate reacts with hCG already bound to the magnetic beads to form sandwich complexes. After precipitation in a magnetic field and removal of the supernatant, another wash cycle is performed. Subsequently, the starter 1+2 is added to initiate a chemiluminescent reaction. The light signal is measured by a photomultiplier within 3 seconds as Relative Light Units, which is proportional to the concentration of total βhCG present in samples.

## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

### 1. Analytical performance:

#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Precision studies were conducted using three lots of Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System reagent and two DZ-Lite 3000 Plus Chemiluminescence Analyzers. Six levels of pooled human serum specimens and three levels of hCG controls were tested on each analyzer for each lot of reagent. Samples and controls were tested with 2 runs per day, 2 replicates per run over 20 working days.

Results from multiple lots were similar on the two different analyzers. Results from the three lots on one representative analyzer are provided in the table below.

#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

High range linearity was established by preparing ten sample dilutions with concentrations from 0.3 - 5186.3 mIU/mL by mixing different proportions of a sample with a high hCG concentration with a normal serum sample without detectable hCG. The samples were tested with the Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System on two analyzers in triplicate with one lot of hCG reagent. The results for high range linearity are

The expected values were plotted against the recovered hCG values. Linear regression gave the following equation:

$$
y = 0.9786x + 19.528, R^2 = 0.9984
$$

Mid-range linearity was established by preparing 11 sample dilutions with concentrations ranging from 0 - 541.6 mIU/mL by mixing different proportions of a sample with high hCG concentration with a sample with hCG-free serum. Samples were tested in triplicate.

The samples were tested in triplicate. The data support an analytical measuring range of 2.8 - 5000 mIU/mL.

## On-board Dilution Recovery

Verification studies were performed to determine the sample recovery after a 1:10 dilution is performed automatically by the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus Chemiluminescence Analyzer. Seven serum samples with beta-hCG concentrations between 5,000 and 50,000 mIU/mL as determined by the predicate device were tested with the Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System reagent using the automatic 1:10 dilution of the analyzer and two lots of reagents. The percent differences for the diluted specimen versus the expected concentration were within 10%. The dilution study results support the sponsor's labeling claims that samples with beta-hCG above 5,000 mIU/mL may be diluted 1:10 on-board the analyzer to obtain results up to 50,000 mIU/mL.

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

## Traceability:

The calibrators for the Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System are traceable to WHO hCG 5th International Standard 07/364.

{8}

# Stability:

Stability protocols and acceptance criteria for accelerated, real-time, and on-board studies for the reagent were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The results support the reagent shelf life of 18 months when stored at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ .

# d. Detection limit:

# Limit of blank:

The limit of blank was determined by running 60 replicates of blank samples with three lots of Diazyme DZ-Lite Total $\beta$ hCG Test System reagent over at least 3 days on one DZ-Lite 3000 Plus analyzer. The limit of blank was calculated as the mean of the 57th and 58th ranked values. The highest value of the three lots was the limit of blank. The limit of blank was determined to be $0.307\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ .

# Limit of detection:

Low hCG concentration samples were prepared from five serum samples diluted with a normal serum pool without detectable hCG. These samples were tested with three lots of Diazyme DZ-Lite Total $\beta$ hCG Test System reagent on the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus in three runs with four replicates per run over three days. The LOD was calculated as the LOB + (1.645 * (SD of LOD samples)) for each lot tested. The LOD was assigned based on the highest value of hCG for the three reagent lots, and was determined to be $0.615\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ .

# Limit of quantitation:

Five serum samples were diluted with hCG negative serum samples to target concentrations of 0.5, 2, 4, 6.5, and $8\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ . The diluted serum samples were tested with three lots of Diazyme DZ-Lite Total $\beta$ hCG Test System reagent on the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus Chemiluminescence Analyzer with 12 replicates per run over three days. The assay LOQ claimed by the sponsor is $1.5\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ based on total error goals of bias at $15.5\%$ and CV of $12.3\%$ .

# e. Analytical specificity:

Serum pools containing hCG concentrations of approximately 5, 60, 200, and 400 $\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ were spiked with various endogenous substances and therapeutic drugs, and tested in triplicate. No significant interference $(< \pm 10\%)$ was observed up to the concentrations summarized below.

The DZ-Lite Total βhCG assay is for use with serum samples.

5. Calibration:

The Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System on DZ-Lite 3000 Plus Chemiluminescence Analyzer utilizes a RFID card that is preprogrammed with a reagent lot specific master curve and is supplied with each kit. The master curve consists of ten levels of concentration points. The mean reactive light units at each level with corresponding hCG concentration are used to make the Diazyme DZ-Lite Total βhCG Test System master curve. When RFID card is scanned with the RFID scanner imbedded in the DZ-Lite 3000 Plus Chemiluminescence Analyzer, the lot specific master calibration curve is automatically utilized for the assay test. RFID cards are programmed at the manufacturer site. The assay lot specific master calibration curve is generated by experimental data. The master calibrators are traceable to WHO hCG 5th International standard 07/364.

Two levels of calibrator are also included in each kit. Via measurement of two levels of the working calibrators, the predefined master curve in the RFID card is adjusted to a new lot-specific working curve for calculation of hCG concentrations in the specimens.

6. Quality Control:

Quality control can be performed using Diazyme DZ-Lite hCG controls. Controls should be run at least once per day, once per kit, and after calibration. Control intervals should be adjusted to match each individual laboratory's requirements. Values should fall within established ranges and if not, laboratories should establish guidelines corrective
