Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone in human serum and plasma.
Device Story
Elecsys® LH Assay is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH) in serum and plasma. Device utilizes sandwich principle: 20 µL sample incubated with biotinylated monoclonal LH-specific antibody and ruthenium-labeled monoclonal LH-specific antibody; complex binds to streptavidin-coated microparticles. Reaction mixture aspirated into measuring cell; microparticles magnetically captured on electrode surface. Voltage application induces chemiluminescent emission measured by photomultiplier. Results calculated via instrument-specific calibration curve generated by 2-point calibration and master curve from reagent bar code. Used on Elecsys® 2010 instrument. Provides clinicians with quantitative LH levels to assist in endocrine assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison study (N=166) vs. Enzymun-Test® LH showed high correlation (r=0.993). Precision studies (N=60 per level) demonstrated %CVs ranging from 0.81% to 5.17%. Lower detection limit 0.10 mIU/mL. Linearity 0.1–200 mIU/mL. Interference testing performed for bilirubin, hemoglobin, lipemia, biotin, and rheumatoid factor. Specificity testing showed <0.1% cross-reactivity with FSH, HCG, TSH, HGH, and HPL.
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich immunoassay; electrochemiluminescence detection; streptavidin-coated microparticles; biotinylated monoclonal antibodies; ruthenium complex label. Requires Elecsys® 2010 instrument. Calibration via 2-point method and reagent bar code. Quantitative measurement range 0.1–200 mIU/mL.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH) in human serum and plasma.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A luteinizing hormone test system is a device intended to measure luteinizing hormone in serum and urine. Luteinizing hormone measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of gonadal dysfunction.

## 2. Device name
Proprietary name: Elecsys® LH Assay
Common name: Electrochemiluminescence assay for the determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH).
Classification name: System, Test, Human Luteinizing Hormone
## 3. Predicate device
We claim substantial equivalence to the Enzymum® LH Assay (K900799).
## 4. Device Description
Sandwich principle. Total duration of assay: 18 minutes.
- 1st incubation (9min.): 20 µL of sample, a biotinylated monoclonal LH-specific antibody (75 µL) and a monoclonal LH-specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex (75 µL)** react to form a sandwich complex.
- 2nd incubation (9min.): after addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles (30 µL), the complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin.
**Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) complex (Ru(bpy)₂⁺)**

## 4. Device Description
- The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier (0.4 second read frame).
- Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent bar code.
## 5. Intended use
Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone in human serum and plasma.
## 6. Comparison to predicate device
The Boehringer Mannheim Elecsys® LH Assay is substantially equivalent to other products in commercial distribution intended for similar use. Most notably it is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Enzymun® LH Assay (K900779).
The following table compares the Elecsys® LH Assay with the predicate device, Enzymun® LH Assay. Specific data on the performance of the test have been incorporated into the draft labeling in attachment 5. Labeling for the predicate device is provided in attachment 6.
## Similarities:
- Intended Use: Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Sample type: Serum and plasma
- Antibody: Same pair of monoclonal mouse anti-LH antibodies
- Solid phase binding principle: Streptavidin/Biotin
