BioCentrex Analyzer

H. Device Description:
Each BioCentrex Cardiac Panel cartridge consists of a hemoglobin pad, a plastic waveguide, and lyophilized reagent cup. Mouse monoclonal antibodies to cTnI, CK-MB and myoglobin are spotted on the plastic waveguide while fluorescent-labeled mouse monoclonal antibodies to cTnI, CK-MB and myoglobin are contained in the lyophilized reagent cup. The user places the specimen in the Sample Tube Holder of the BioCentrex Analyzer, and places the Cardiac Panel cartridge on the Cartridge Drawer before initiating the test. Upon initiation of the test, the analyzer spots an aliquot of the specimen on the hemoglobin determination pad and then delivers another aliquot to the reagent cup to reconstitute and mix with the reagent. After a brief preincubation interval, the mixture is diluted with Wash/Diluent Solution before delivering the mixture to the waveguide.

## K. Test Principle:

To determine the hematocrit of an anti-coagulated whole blood specimen, wavelength-specific light from a light emitting diode is reflected off the bottom of the hemoglobin pad and measured by two photodiodes mounted in the analyzer. The analyzer uses the reflectance measurements and a standard curve from the cartridge barcode to calculate the hematocrit of the whole blood sample. The estimated hematocrit is then used to correct for variations in plasma volumes in whole blood samples.

CTnI, CK-MB and myoglobin in the sample complex with analyte-specific fluorescent-labeled antibody in the reagent and the capture antibody spotted on the waveguide. Fluorescence is generated upon excitation by the evanescent wave, which propagates through the planar waveguide. The fluorescence concentration at the capture site is greater than the background fluorescence in the bulk solution so bound fluorescence is not separated from free fluorescence. The course of this binding reaction is measured 77 times over an 8-minute period using a CCD camera to monitor the fluorescence of each spot as it develops. After the 8 minutes the rate of the reaction is compared to the stored calibration curve, and corrected for hematocrit for conversion of cTnI, CK-MB and myoglobin concentrations to ng/mL, which is then displayed on the analyzer. The fluorescence rate is directly proportional to the concentration of cTnI, CK-MB and myoglobin in the specimen.

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

1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:

{3}

Within-run, between-run, and total imprecision were determined following NCCLS Guideline EP5-A. Three human serum-based controls (two commercial and one in-house) containing three levels of cardiac Troponin I were tested in duplicate. Results are summarized below:

Troponin I - 20 runs over 10 days:

Duplicate measurements of serum samples were compared to determine validity of performing single measurements. The following results were obtained:

Troponin I:  $y = 0.9684x + 0.1144$

$$
\begin{array}{l} \mathrm {r} = 0. 9 9 7 2; \mathrm {R} ^ {2} = 0. 9 9 4 5 \\ n = 7 6 \\ \end{array}
$$

Range  $= 0$  to  $99\mathrm{ng / mL}$

CK-MB:  $y = 1.0161x - 0.7008$

$$
\begin{array}{l} \mathrm {r} = 0. 9 9 7 9; \mathrm {R} ^ {2} = 0. 9 9 5 8 \\ n = 7 6 \\ \end{array}
$$

Range  $= 2.88$  to  $365\mathrm{ng / mL}$

Myoglobin:  $y = 1.0247x - 3.2108$

$$
\begin{array}{l} \mathrm {r} = 0. 9 9 5 1; \mathrm {R} ^ {2} = 0. 9 9 0 3 \\ n = 7 0 \\ \end{array}
$$

Range  $= 18$  to  $718\mathrm{ng / mL}$

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

{4}

Page 5 of 9

Percent recovery was evaluated according to NCCLS Guideline EP6-P2. Multiple dilutions covering the measuring range were made of 3 spiked plasma samples using the respective un-spiked plasma. Each dilution was assayed in duplicate, and observed results were compared to expected (calculated) results. The overall mean recovery was 99.7 % of expected (Troponin I), 99.2 % of expected (CK-MB), and 100.9 % of expected (Myoglobin).

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

The instrument is calibrated by repeated measurements of cardiac patient specimens that have been assigned analyte concentrations using commercially available assays.

Each lot of cartridges contains a bar-coded, stored lot calibration curve. The curve is generated using standards which are assigned values based on measurements using a master lot and master analyzer (calibrated as above). The calibration is verified by analyte controls which are also value assigned on the master instrument.

No user calibration is required.

d. Detection limit:

The Functional Sensitivity was determined for cTnI as the lowest concentration yielding a CV = 20%. This value was calculated from a regression fit as 0.15 ng/mL. The sponsor states that the instrument will not report results below 0.15 ng/mL.

The analytical sensitivity, defined as the concentration distinguishable from zero with a 95% confidence, is determined to be 0.04 ng/mL (Troponin I), 0.41 ng/mL (CK-MB), and 2.8 ng/mL (Myoglobin). This was measured as the mean signal of 20 replicates of the zero calibrator plus 2 standard deviations.

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference studies were performed according to NCCLS Guideline EP7-A. Seven pools of potential drug interferents were spiked into commercial serum controls for each analyte (2.05 ng/mL Troponin I, 25.6 ng/mL CK-MB, or 281 ng/mL myoglobin). No drug tested caused interference in the assay (interference was defined as a mean difference greater than 10% than experimental control).

The device was tested for interference by potentially cross-reacting endogenous proteins. Potentially interfering proteins were added to commercial serum controls containing the analyte (2.05 ng/mL Troponin I, 25.6 ng/mL CK-MB, or 281 ng/mL myoglobin) and to sodium heparin plasma samples (0 ng/mL Troponin I, 1.5 ng/mL CK-MB, or 17.0 ng/mL myoglobin), and analyte levels were assayed and compared to similarly diluted experimental controls. There was no cross-reactivity reported for any of the proteins tested.

Page 6 of 9

Potential interference by endogenous substances (human serum albumin, Bilirubin, hemoglobin, and triglycerides) was tested in commercial serum controls containing the analyte (2.05 ng/mL Troponin I, 25.6 ng/mL CK-MB, or 281 ng/mL myoglobin) and in sodium heparin plasma samples (0 ng/mL Troponin I, 1.5 ng/mL CK-MB, or 17.0 ng/mL myoglobin). All serum control results were within 10% of the control. Hemoglobin (at 500 mg/dL) increased the apparent TnI concentration by 0.03 ng/mL, and Bilirubin (at 40.1 mg/dL) increased the apparent TnI concentration by 0.1 ng/mL. In both cases, the original TnI concentration was below 0.5 ng/mL and the functional sensitivity of the assay. All other plasma sample results were within 10% of the control.

f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable.

# 3. Clinical studies:

a. Clinical sensitivity: Not applicable.
b. Clinical specificity: Not applicable.
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a and b are not applicable):

# 4. Clinical cut-off:

The sponsor states that Troponin I levels greater than  $0.5\mathrm{ng / ml}$  are consistent with WHO criteria for AMI. However, no supporting studies have been performed, so clinical laboratories must establish cutoffs that are appropriate for their representative populations.

# 5. Expected values/Reference range:

The reference interval was determined non-parametrically by testing serum samples from 120 male and 60 female apparently healthy individuals.

Troponin I: The central  $95\%$  interval was 0.0 to  $0.07 \, \mathrm{ng/ml}$ . The  $97.5^{\text{th}}$  percentile upper range limit (URL) of normals is  $&lt; 0.15 \, \mathrm{ng/mL}$  (below the functional sensitivity).

CK-MB: The central  $95\%$  interval was 0.0 to  $5.51 \, \mathrm{ng/mL}$ . The reference interval (defined by the detection limit and the  $97.5^{\text{th}}$  percentile URL) is 0.41 to  $5.51 \, \mathrm{ng/mL}$ .
