VITROS dHDL Slides are used to quantitatively measure HDL cholesterol (HDLC) concentration in serum and plasma. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is used to evaluate the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). The risk of CHD increases with lower HDL cholesterol concentrations. VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kit 25 is used to calibrate VITROS Chemistry System for the quantitative measurement of HDL cholesterol using VITROS Chemistry Products dHDL Slides. VITROS Chemistry Products Performance Verifiers I and II are assayed controls used to monitor performance on VITROS Chemistry Systems.
Device Story
VITROS Chemistry Systems are automated clinical chemistry analyzers for in vitro analyte determination. The dHDL Slide assay uses a solid-state reagent carrier to measure HDL cholesterol. Process: 1) Precipitation of non-HDL lipoproteins; 2) Detergent solubilization of HDL; 3) Enzyme-coupled colorimetric quantitation of residual cholesterol. System requires 10 µL sample (serum, heparin plasma, or EDTA plasma). Operated by laboratory personnel in clinical settings. Output is a quantitative HDL concentration (mg/dL) used by clinicians to evaluate CHD risk. System includes calibrators and assayed controls (Performance Verifiers) to ensure measurement accuracy and monitor system performance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per NCCLS EP5-A (n=88, CV% 2.5-2.7%). Linearity confirmed 5-110 mg/dL per NCCLS EP6-P. Method comparison (n=134-168) against CDC-traceable and commercial methods showed high correlation (r=0.996). Matrix compatibility confirmed for serum, heparin, and EDTA plasma.
Indicated for quantitative measurement of HDL cholesterol in serum and plasma to evaluate coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in adults. No specific age or gender contraindications provided.
Regulatory Classification

L. Test Principle:
The VITROS dHDL Slide is a multilayered analytical element coated on a polyester support. The method is based on a HDL precipitation method followed by an enzymatic detection. A drop of sample is deposited on the slide and is evenly distributed by the spreading layer to the underlying layers. HDL is separated by the precipitation of non-High Density Lipoproteins (non-HDL) using phosphotungstic acid (PTA) and magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) in the spreading layer. The emulgent B-66 surfactant in the spreading layer aids in the selective dissociation of the cholesterol and cholesterol esters from the HDL lipoprotein complexes present in the sample. Hydrolysis of the HDL-derived cholesterol ester to cholesterol is catalyzed by a cholesterol ester hydrolase. Free cholesterol is then oxidized in the presence of cholesterol oxidase to form cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide. Finally, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes a leuco dye in the presence of peroxidase to generate a colored dye. The density of dye formed is proportional to the HDL cholesterol concentration present in the sample and is measured by reflectance spectrophotometry.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The evaluation followed NCCLS EP5-A, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices. Two runs were performed on each of 22 different days on the VITROS 950 Chemistry System. Each run consisted of 3 control sera and 3 calibrator fluids assayed in duplicate. The order of the control sets in each run was randomized. Runs within day were separated by at least two hours. Three lots of VITROS dHDL Slides were

evaluated. The data was screened for gross outliers according to statistical outlier test in NCCLS EP5-A. No replicates were excluded from the analysis.

| VITROS 950 | 0.97 | 0.02 | 0.03 | 2.7 | 88 | 22 |

| | 2.57 | 0.05 | 0.06 | 2.5 | 88 | 22 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity studies were designed using NCCLS EP6-P, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Analytical Methods. A "high pool" was created by spiking commercially available purified human HDLC into a delipidized human serum pool to obtain a concentration of approximately 125 mg/dL HDLC. A delipidized human serum pool was used as the "low pool". The two pools were intermixed to obtain thirteen levels.
Six determinations of each of the 13 levels were made together with 6 determinations of each VITROS Chemistry Products Performance Verifiers I and II. The experiment was performed across three lots of VITROS Chemistry Products dHDL Slides. The HDLC results plotted against the percent high pool and against the calculated values to assess the degree to which the plotted curve conforms to a straight line. Analysis by linear regression indicated that the assay is linear across the range 0 to 114.6 mg/dL. The product claim for the reportable range is 5 to 110 mg/L.
c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
Values assigned to the VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kit 25 for the VITRO Chemistry Products dHDL Slides are traceable to the CDC Lipid Standardization Program using the services of a CRMLN Network Laboratory.

d. Detection limit:
Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) is defined as the concentration that can be differentiated from zero using a predetermined confidence interval. The Lower Limit of Detection of the VITROS Chemistry Products dHDL Slides assay is typically no greater than 0.8 mg/dL (0.021 mmol/L).
e. Analytical specificity:
The substance listed in the package insert were tested with the VITRO Chemistry Products dHDL Slide at an HDLC concentration of approximately 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) following NCCLS Protocol EP7 and found not to interfere, bias<3.8 mg/dL (<0.10 mmol/L), at the concentration shown in the package insert.
f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Accuracy was evaluated based on NCCLS Protocol EP9-A2. The data below shows the results of a comparison of samples analyzed on the VITROS 950 Chemistry System with those analyzed on a method traceable to the CDC reference method and on a commercially available system.

b. Matrix comparison:
Serum versus plasma studies were performed to demonstrate that samples types recommended are serum, heparin plasma and EDTA. Individual results from the determinations of each specimen were tabulated and reviewed for outliers as per NCCLS EP5-A. The bias values for matched patient samples collected in serum tubes, serum separator tubes, Li-heparin plasma tubes, Na-heparin plasma tubes, EDTA plasma tubes, and Li-heparin plasma separator tubes were within predetermined acceptance criteria. The bias values between serum samples and samples collected in fluoride/oxalate plasma tubes and citrate plasma tubes were outside of predetermined acceptance criteria for the VITROS dHDL Slides assay.
