# L. Test Principle:
The substrate 4,6-ethylidene-(G7)-p-nitrophenyl-(G1)-α-D-maltoheptaoside (EPS-G7) is cleaved by α-amylases into various fragments. These are further hydrolyzed in a second step by α-glucosidase producing glucose and p-nitrophenol. The increase in absorbance represents the total (pancreatic and salivary) amylase activity in the sample.
# M. Performance Characteristics:
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
To evaluate within run precision, the sponsor selected two controls and three serum samples. Each sample was run 20 times in a single run with the following results:
| | Control | | Sample | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Normal | Abnormal | Low | Medium | High |
| Mean (U/L) | 74.6 | 180.6 | 50.0 | 89.2 | 258.4 |
| SD | 0.51 | 1.28 | 0.89 | 1.05 | 1.56 |
| CV(%) | 0.69 | 0.71 | 1.78 | 1.18 | 0.60 |
{5}
To evaluate between run and total precision, the sponsor followed CLSI EP-5A. Two controls and two serum samples were tested in duplicate for 20 days, with two replicates per day, for a total of four results per day and 80 results total for each sample. The following results were observed:
| | Control | | Sample | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Normal | Abnormal | Low | High |
| Mean (U/L) | 76.7 | 184.1 | 71.5 | 415.0 |
| Within-Run SD | 0.75 | 1.32 | 0.84 | 2.79 |
| Within-Run CV | 0.98 | 0.72 | 1.18 | 0.67 |
| Total SD | 2.07 | 3.21 | 1.96 | 7.19 |
| Total CV | 2.70 | 1.74 | 2.74 | 1.73 |
| Between-Day SD | 1.61 | 1.86 | 1.60 | 4.87 |
| Between-Day CV | 2.09 | 1.01 | 2.23 | 1.17 |
| Between-Run SD | 1.07 | 2.26 | 0.77 | 4.50 |
| Between-Run CV | 1.39 | 1.23 | 1.07 | 1.08 |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
To evaluate linearity and reportable range, the sponsor followed CLSI EP-6A. Two datasets were collected, one covering the lower range from approximately 7 - 150 U/L and another covering the upper range from approximately 100 - 2200 U/L. The CLSI guideline instructs users to examine whether a non-linear polynomial fits the data better than a linear one and then assess whether the difference between the two is less than the amount of allowable bias for the method. The sponsor did this, and determined that for both datasets the difference was less than their internal estimate of $8\%$ allowable bias.
In addition, post dilution studies were performed to validate the automated dilution function and range.
# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Calibrator. The sponsor states that the Multical calibrator is traceable to the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM)/ International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) reference material 456 for amylase.
Real-time stability data has been provided at the recommended storage temperature for both open and closed vials. The acceptance criterion was recovery $\pm 5\%$ of day 0 value.
Calibrator values are assigned by comparison to a master lot stored at $-80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . Deviations of up to $4\%$ are allowed.

Controls. Real-time stability data has been provided at the recommended storage temperature for both open and closed vials. The acceptance criterion was recovery ± 10% of day 0 value.
Control values are assigned from the ABX PENTRA calibrator, reagents and analyzers. The target value is determined by the median of results from 150 measurements. Six analyzers are used over 5 days, with one calibration per day. Confidence range is determined as the calculated range in percent which is based on the experimental results from the previous target value trials. The range declared in the target value sheet is equal to the assigned value +/- 3 standard deviations.
d. Detection limit:
Method: In accordance with the Valtec guideline (Vassault et al., Ann. Biol. Clin., 1986, (44), 686-745)
Minimum Detection Limit (MDL) is calculated from 30 measurements of saline water (0.9 g/l)
Formula: MDL = mean of measurements + 4.65 SD (mean of measurement = 0 when negative)

From the MDL value, the test range low assigned for this method and in the test instruction was calculated to be 4 U/L.
e. Analytical specificity:
Hemoglobin up to 278 μmol/l (479 mg/dl), total bilirubin up to 450 μmol/l (29 mg/dl), direct bilirubin up to 474 μmol/l (27.7 mg/dl) and triglycerides (as Intralipid ®, representative of lipemia) up to 7 mmol/l (612.5 mg/dl) were tested by the sponsor and found not to interfere with Amylase determination by this method. Potential interferents were tested at two amylase concentrations. The sponsor defined non-interference as the following: within ± 20 U/L for the low concentration (approximately 136 U/L) and within ± 50 U/L for the high concentration test sample (approximately 287 U/L).
f. Assay cut-off:
Not Applicable
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Due to the difficulty of obtaining native samples covering the reportable range of the assay, the sponsor supplemented the native samples with both diluted and spiked samples, for a total of 131 samples. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate and the samples ranged in concentration from 4 to 1659 U/L by the predicate method. Linear regression was performed comparing the mean of predicate vs the mean of the new device, and the following line equation was calculated:
$$
\text{Horiba ABX} = (*1.231 \times \text{predicate method}) - 26 \, \text{U/L}
$$
$$
r = 0.9985
$$
*From the data provided, it appears that the positive bias increases as amylase values increase. However, this bias was judged to be clinically insignificant.
b. Matrix comparison:
To demonstrate comparable performance between serum and lithium-heparin plasma, the sponsor compared 70 paired serum and plasma samples on the Pentra 400 analyzer using the ABX Pentra Amylase CP reagent. The samples ranged in concentration from a low of 24 to a high of 255 U/L. Linear regression produced a slope of 1.00 with a y-intercept of -2.6 U/L. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.998.
