## B Principle of Operation:

The iFlash-HCG assay is a sandwich immunoassay using a direct chemiluminometric technique. The hCG in the sample reacts with anti-HCG antibody-coated paramagnetic microparticles and acridinium-labeled anti-HCG antibody conjugate to form a sandwich complex. After incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. Then the pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs) by the iFlash optical system. The RLUs detected production is directly proportional to the analyte in the sample. Analyte concentration is determined from a calibration curve, which is generated by 3-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent QR code.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

A Analytical Performance:

1. Precision/Reproducibility:

Precision of the iFlash-HCG Assay was evaluated according to CLSI EP05-A3 using nine serum samples and two levels of controls. Each sample was measured in two replicates per run with two runs per day over 20 days by three different operators at three different sites using three lots of the reagents on three different Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) resulting in a total of 240 test results per level. Results from one analyzer are provided in the table below.

2. Linearity:

Linearity of the iFlash-HCG Assay was evaluated following recommendations in CLSI EP06-Ed2. Three linearity studies were performed using eleven serum samples each. Varying concentrations of hCG were obtained by mixing low level serum samples and high level serum samples. All three studies were performed using three lots of reagents on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C).

In the first study, linearity was established by testing samples with concentrations ranging from 0.43 to $11786.53\mathrm{mIU/mL}$. Each sample was tested in four replicates.

A regression analysis was conducted resulting in the following linear regression equation: $y = 0.9824x + 38.719$, $R^2 = 0.9994$

In the second study, mid-range linearity was established by testing samples with hCG concentrations ranging from 0.45 to $1,050.30\mathrm{mIU/mL}$. Each sample was tested in four

K223690 - Page 6 of 11

{6}

replicates. A regression analysis was conducted resulting in the following linear regression equation:  $y = 0.9994x - 0.545$ ,  $R2 = 0.9996$

In the third study, low-range linearity was established by testing samples with concentrations ranging from 0.46 to  $128.02\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ . Each sample level was tested in four replicates. A regression analysis was conducted resulting in the following linear regression equation:  $\mathrm{y} = 1.014\mathrm{x} - 2.857$ ,  $\mathrm{R2} = 0.9995$

The results from the linearity studies and limit of quantitation studies (LOQ = 0.50 ng/mL, see below), supports the sponsor's claimed analytical measuring interval of 0.50 to 10,000 mIU/mL.

# Dilution Studies

Dilution studies were performed to determine the sample recovery after a 1:100 dilution either manually or automatically by the Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). The dilution study results support labeling claims that samples with hCG concentrations above  $10,000\mathrm{mIU / mL}$  may be diluted 1:50 or 1:100 with sample diluent either manually or automatically on-onboard the analyzer.

# 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:

# Interference

The potential interference of certain exogenous and endogenous substances was assessed using female human serum pool samples containing approximately  $6\mathrm{mIU / mL}$  and 5000  $\mathrm{mIU / mL}$  ("low" and "high" respectively) hCG spiked with various concentrations of substances based on recommendations in CLSI EP7-A2. The following endogenous substances do not interfere with this assay at the levels tested (less than  $10\%$  bias between the test sample and the control sample).

## Cross-Reactivity

Cross-reactivity of the iFlash-HCG assay was determined with three lots of reagent on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) using female human serum samples with approximately 0.1, 5, and 4000 mIU/mL ("low", "medium", and "high" respectively) hCG concentrations that were spiked with the following potential cross-reactants: luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), or thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Samples were tested in replicates of five using three lots of reagents on one iFlash 3000-C analyzer. The results demonstrated no cross-reactivity from potential cross-reactants up to 500 mIU/mL LH, 200 mIU/mL FSH, and 10000 mIU/mL TSH
