## Indications for Use

The Triage® Profiler S.O.B. (Shortness of Breath) Panel is a fluorescence immunoassay to be used with the Triage Meters for the quantitative determination of creatine kinase MB, myoglobin, troponin I, B-type natriuretic peptide, and cross-linked fibrin degradation products containing D-dimer in EDTA whole blood and plasma specimens. The test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (injury), an aid in the diagnosis and assessment of severity of heart failure, an aid in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure, an aid in the assessment and evaluation of patients suspected of having disseminated intravascular coagulation or thromboembolic events including pulmonary embolism, and an aid in the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes. The Triage® CardioProfilER® Panel is a fluorescence immunoassay to be used with the Triage Meters for the quantitative determination of creatine kinase MB, myoglobin, troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide in EDTA whole blood and plasma specimens. The test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (injury), the diagnosis and assessment of severity of congestive heart failure (also referred to as heart failure), an aid in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure and for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes.

## Device Story

Single-use fluorescence immunoassay panels (Triage Profiler S.O.B. and CardioProfilER) for quantitative measurement of cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB, myoglobin, troponin I, BNP, D-dimer) in EDTA whole blood or plasma. Device utilizes integrated filter for cell separation; plasma reacts with fluorescent antibody conjugates in reaction chamber; mixture flows through detection lane; analytes captured on discrete zones. Fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to analyte concentration. Operated with Triage MeterPlus. Provides rapid quantitative results to clinicians to aid in diagnosis of myocardial injury, heart failure assessment, and risk stratification for acute coronary syndromes and heart failure. No changes to test performance, design, reagents, or manufacturing; submission reflects labeling expansion for BNP prognostic utility.

## Clinical Evidence

No new bench or clinical testing performed. Evidence for the expanded indication (BNP risk stratification in heart failure) relies on five peer-reviewed articles and a systematic review (Doust et al., BMJ 2005) demonstrating BNP as a strong prognostic indicator. Previous analytical and clinical performance characteristics were established in k042723 and k030286.

## Technological Characteristics

Fluorescence immunoassay; uses murine monoclonal/polyclonal antibodies against CK-MB, myoglobin, troponin I, BNP, and D-dimer. Solid-phase capture with fluorescent dye labeling. Single-use test device with integrated filtration. Quantitative measurement via Triage MeterPlus. No changes to materials or energy source.

## Regulatory Identification

The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test system is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to measure BNP in whole blood and plasma. Measurements of BNP are used as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with congestive heart failure.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is “Class II Special Control Guidance Document for B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Premarket Notifications; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.”

## L. Test Principle:

The Triage® Profiler S.O.B. Panel is a fluorescence immunoassay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer, CK-MB, myoglobin, troponin I, and BNP in whole blood and plasma specimens using EDTA as the anticoagulant. After addition of the sample to the sample port, the cells are separated from the plasma via a filter contained in the device. A predetermined quantity of plasma is allowed to react with fluorescent antibody conjugates within the reaction chamber. After sufficient incubation has occurred, the reaction mixture flows down the device detection lane. Complexes of the analytes and fluorescent antibody conjugates are captured on discrete zones resulting in binding assays that are specific for each analyte. The concentration of the analyte in the specimen is directly proportional to the fluorescence detected.

To support the additional intended use, the sponsor provided five peer-reviewed articles from the scientific literature assessing the clinical utility of BNP measurements as an aid in the risk stratification of patients with heart failure. All five studies utilized the Biosite Triage BNP device in their test method.

In one additional paper titled “How well does B-type natriuretic peptide predict death and cardiac events in patients with heart failure: systematic review,” J.A. Doust et al. (British Medical Journal, volume 330, 19 March 2005) performed a systematic evidence-based medicine review of the literature. The review included 24 studies in all. While the review included studies with different study designs and test methods (BNP and NT-proBNP), the five articles previously mentioned were part of the review. The authors concluded that BNP was a strong prognostic indicator for patients with heart failure.

All literature references are cited in the sponsor’s labeling.
