The ADVIA Chemistry Total Bilirubin_2 assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the THE ADVIA Onemination of total bilirubin in human serum and plasma on the ADVIA® Chemistry Systems. Such measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hemolytic, biliary, and liver disorders, including hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Device Story
Advia Chemistry Total Bilirubin 2 is a quantitative colorimetric assay for total bilirubin in human serum/plasma. Used on ADVIA Chemistry Systems (1200, 1650, 1800, 2400) in clinical laboratory settings. Principle: vanadate oxidation at pH 2.9 converts bilirubin to biliverdin; reaction causes decrease in optical density proportional to bilirubin concentration. Measured as endpoint reaction. Provides clinicians with quantitative bilirubin levels to assist in diagnosing/treating liver, biliary, and hemolytic disorders. Reagents are ready-to-use liquids.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (5 levels, 10 days); total CV% ranged 1.1%–4.7% across platforms. Linearity confirmed 0.1–35 mg/dL. Analytical specificity showed no interference (<10% bias) with 50 mg/dL ascorbic acid, 1000 mg/dL hemoglobin, or 1000 mg/dL triglycerides. Method comparison (N=118-119) against predicate showed high correlation (r=0.998–1.000). Matrix equivalence (serum vs. lithium heparin plasma) confirmed (r=0.999–1.000).

L. Test Principle:
The Total Bilirubin 2 assay is based on a vanadate oxidation method. Total bilirubin (conjugated and unconjugated) is oxidized by vanadate at about pH 2.9 to produce biliverdin. In the presence of detergent and vanadate, both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin are oxidized. The oxidation reaction causes a decrease in the optical density which is proportional to the total bilirubin concentration in the sample. The concentration is measured as an endpoint reaction.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Within run and total imprecision were evaluated on each chemistry platform by testing five levels of serum pools. Each sample was assayed two times per run, 1 or 2 runs per day for at least 10 days. Precision estimates were computed according to CLSI EP5-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods. The results are summarized below.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Nine equally spaced levels of serum pools prepared using high and low linearity pools were tested on the ADVIA 1200, 1650, and 2400 platforms. The sample concentrations tested ranged from approximately $0.17\mathrm{mg/dL}$ to $37.5\mathrm{mg/dL}$. All results were within $\pm 5\%$ of the expected value except the lowest dilution level which had concentrations approaching the limits of detection of the assay. The results of the lowest dilution level were all with $\pm$
{4}
0.03 mg/dL of the expected value. The reportable range for all platforms is 0.1 mg/dL to 35 mg/dL.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The sponsor states that the calibrators are traceable to the AACC reference method, which used reference materials from NIST, via patient correlation.
Protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed for reagent stability. The reagents are stable until their expiration dates when stored as instructed.
Calibrators were previously cleared under k030169 and controls under k883209.
d. Detection limit:
The limit of detection and the limit of the blank were determined as outlined in CLSI EP17-A. A blank sample (saline) was evaluated 64 times on each platform to calculate the limit of the blank. A low level sample was also run 64 times on each platform and used to calculate the limit of detection. The observed limits of detection on the three platforms were all below the claimed low end of the measuring range of the assay (0.1 mg/dL).
e. Analytical specificity:
The interference study was carried out in the presence of approximately 1 mg/dL and 20 mg/dL total bilirubin. The samples were evaluated on the ADVIA 1200, 1650, and 2400. All samples were evaluated in duplicate with multiple concentrations of each interferant. Lack of interference was defined as a bias of <10% compared to a sample without the interfering substance present. The assay showed no interference with up to 50 mg/dL ascorbic acid, 1000 mg/dL hemoglobin, and 1000 mg/dL triglycerides.
f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Correlation studies were performed by first comparing adult patient samples on the ADVIA 1650 to the ADVIA IMS predicate device. The same adult patient samples were then measured on the ADVIA 1200 and ADVIA 2400 and compared to the ADVIA 1650. The studies were performed over 5 days and the results are summarized below.
