Indications for Use
The Atellica® IM Total hCG (ThCG) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human serum or plasma (EDTA or lithium heparin) using the Atellica® IM Analyzer. Human chorionic gonadotropin measurements are intended for use as an aid in the early detection of pregnancy.
Device Story
The Atellica® IM Total hCG (ThCG) assay is an in vitro diagnostic test used on the Atellica® IM Analyzer to quantitatively measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human serum or plasma. The device utilizes a sandwich immunoassay principle with direct chemiluminescent technology. It employs a goat polyclonal anti-hCG antibody labeled with acridinium ester and a mouse monoclonal anti-hCG antibody coupled to paramagnetic particles. The analyzer processes samples to produce a quantitative result, which clinicians use as an aid in the early detection of pregnancy. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Specimen equivalency was evaluated by comparing serum to EDTA and lithium heparin plasma samples using Deming linear regression (N=116 for EDTA, N=134 for lithium heparin). Results showed high correlation (r=1.00) with slopes of 1.02 and 1.05, respectively. Interference testing per CLSI EP07-ed3 confirmed minimal bias (<2%) for both anticoagulants at tested concentrations.
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich immunoassay; direct chemiluminescent technology. Reagents: Goat polyclonal anti-hCG antibody labeled with acridinium ester; mouse monoclonal anti-hCG antibody on paramagnetic particles. Standardized against WHO 4th IS 75/589. Assay range: 2.6–1000 mIU/mL. Incubation: 8 minutes at 37°C. Sample volume: 25 µL. Automated system (Atellica IM Analyzer).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of hCG in human serum or plasma (EDTA or lithium heparin) as an aid in the early detection of pregnancy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for the early detection of pregnancy is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine. A human chorionic goadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for any uses other than early detection of pregnancy (such as an aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of treatment of persons with certain tumors or carcinomas) is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine.
