Input: patient serum sample. Principle: cortisol in sample competes with acridinium ester-labeled cortisol (Lite Reagent) for binding to polyclonal rabbit anti-cortisol antibody; antibody is bound to monoclonal mouse anti-rabbit antibody coupled to paramagnetic particles (solid phase). Output: relative light units (RLUs) detected by ACS:180 system; inverse relationship between cortisol concentration and RLUs. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Output used by clinicians to assess cortisol levels, aiding in diagnosis of adrenal function disorders. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Accuracy evaluated using 100 extracted urine samples compared to FPIA (r=0.92) and 70 extracted urine samples compared to RIA (r=0.96). Sensitivity: minimum detectable concentration 0.20 µg/mL; measurement range up to 75 µg/mL. ## Technological Characteristics Competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay. Reagents: acridinium ester-labeled cortisol, polyclonal rabbit anti-cortisol antibody, monoclonal mouse anti-rabbit antibody, paramagnetic particles. Detection: chemiluminescence (RLUs). Platform: ACS:180 Automated Chemiluminescence System. ## Regulatory Identification A cortisol (hydrocortisone and hydroxycorticosterone) test system is a device intended to measure the cortisol hormones secreted by the adrenal gland in plasma and urine. Measurements of cortisol are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the adrenal gland. ## Predicate Devices - Tdx® Cortisol Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (Not Known) - COAT-A-COUNT Cortisol RadioImmunoassay (Not Known) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Description The Ciba Corning ACS Cortisol assay is a competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay. Cortisol in the patient sample competes with the acridinium ester (AE-labeled cortisol (Lite Reagent) for binding to polyclonal rabbit anti-cortisol antibody on the Solid Phase. The polyclonal rabbit anti-cortisol antibody is bound to monoclonal mouse anti-rabbit antibody, which is coupled to paramagnetic particles (solid phase). An inverse relationship exists between the amount of cortisol present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLUs) detected by the ACS:180® system.

Statement of Intended Use For the quantitative determination of cortisol in serum using the Ciba Corning Automated Chemiluminescence Systems. ## 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics The Ciba Corning ACS Cortisol procedure is a competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay. ## 7. Performance Data ### Sensitivity The ACS Cortisol immunoassay measures cortisol concentration up to 75 µg/mL with a minimum detectable concentration of 0.20 µg/mL. ### Accuracy For 100 extracted urine samples in the range of 8.0 to 148.8 µg/24 hours, the correlation between the ACS Cortisol and the fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) method is described by the equation: $$ \text{ACS Cortisol} = 0.92 \ (\text{FPIA}) + 4.8 $$ $$ \text{Correlation coefficient (r)} = 0.92 $$ For 70 extracted urine samples in the range of 13.4 to 175.1 µg/24 hours, the correlation between the ACS Cortisol immunoassay and the Radioimmunoassay (RIA) method is described by the equation: $$ \text{ACS Cortisol} = 1.04 \ (\text{FPIA}) - 1.2 $$ $$ \text{Correlation coefficient (r)} = 0.96 $$ Acs Cortisol 510(k) Notification June 28, 1996 CORTSS&E.DOC --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CH/subpart-b%E2%80%94clinical-chemistry-test-systems/JFT/K962559](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CH/subpart-b%E2%80%94clinical-chemistry-test-systems/JFT/K962559) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
