Indications for Use
Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of thyrotropin in human serum and plasma. Measurements of TSH are used in the diagnosis of thyroid and pituitary disorders. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Story
Elecsys TSH is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative thyrotropin measurement in human serum and plasma. It utilizes a sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) principle on cobas e immunoassay analyzers. The device uses monoclonal antibodies against human TSH; one biotinylated capture antibody and one ruthenium-labeled detection antibody. To mitigate biotin interference, the assay incorporates an anti-biotin antibody to bind free biotin and utilizes a PEG spacer on the biotinylated capture antibody. The device is operated by laboratory professionals in clinical settings. The analyzer processes samples, performs incubation, and measures light emission to quantify TSH levels. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing thyroid and pituitary disorders. The updated design increases biotin interference resistance up to 1200 ng/mL.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated on cobas e 801 analyzer. Precision studies (repeatability/intermediate) met acceptance criteria. Linearity confirmed 0.004–102 µIU/mL. LoB/LoD/LoQ established at 0.0025/0.005/0.005 µIU/mL. Interference testing confirmed no biotin interference up to 1200 ng/mL. Method comparison with predicate (n=138) showed high correlation (r=0.999) and Passing-Bablok slope of 0.974.
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich immunoassay; electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) detection. Reagents: Streptavidin-coated microparticles, biotinylated monoclonal anti-TSH antibody (mouse) with PEG spacer, and ruthenium-labeled monoclonal anti-TSH antibody (mouse/human). Instrument: cobas e immunoassay analyzers. Quantitative measurement range: 0.005-100 µIU/mL. Sample types: serum, Li-heparin, K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA plasma. Calibration: 2-point. Traceability: 2nd IRP WHO Reference Standard 80/558.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro quantitative determination of thyrotropin in human serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis of thyroid and pituitary disorders.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A thyroid stimulating hormone test system is a device intended to measure thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as thyrotrophin and thyrotrophic hormone, in serum and plasma. Measurements of thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the anterior pituitary are used in the diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders.
