Device Story

TruVerus™ benchtop analyzer uses Single-Use Consumable Kit (TruWellness Panel™) to process lithium-heparinized venous whole blood. System automates sample handling via high-precision pipettor, onboard centrifugation, and motion control. Detection modules use photometric/colorimetric analysis (TChol 510nm, TRIG 540nm) with xenon-arc stroboscopic lamp and CMOS array detector. Instrument performs self-tests and QC checks using optical/electronic feedback. Results displayed on touchscreen for clinician review; VLDL calculated from TRIG. Used in clinical labs or point-of-care settings to aid diagnosis of lipid metabolism disorders. Benefits include rapid, integrated testing without specialized skills or external calibration.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility (CLSI EP05-A3) across 3 sites/3 instruments showed total CV% 1.1-3.0%. Linearity (EP06-Ed2) confirmed 20-520 mg/dL (TChol) and 20-700 mg/dL (TRIG). Method comparison (N=326 TChol, N=313 TRIG) against Roche Cobas showed high correlation (R=0.995, 0.998; Slope 1.00). Interference testing (EP07/EP37) evaluated numerous endogenous/exogenous substances.

Technological Characteristics

## B Principle of Operation:

### Total cholesterol

This assay is based on the work of Allain et al. and measures the total level of cholesterol by using a multi-step enzymatic system. Cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to cholesterol and fatty acids. Cholesterol is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to Δ4-cholestenone with the simultaneous production of an equimolar amount of hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes to p-hydroxybenzenesulfonate (p-HBS) and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) to give a quinoneimine dye colored red, the absorbance of which can be measured at 510 nm. The absorbance is proportional to the concentration of cholesterol in the sample.

### Triglycerides

This assay measures triglyceride concentration in plasma by a series of enzymatic reactions. After hydrolysis by microbial lipases, the triglycerides yield glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA). Glycerol is phosphorylated by adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) to glycerol-1-phosphate (G-1-P) in a reaction catalyzed by glycerol kinase (GK). G-1-P is oxidized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DAP) in a reaction catalyzed by glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO). In this reaction, hydrogen peroxide is produced in equimolar concentration to the level of triglycerides present in the sample. In the indicating Trinder type reaction, hydrogen peroxide reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) and n-ethyl-n-(3-sulfopropyl)-m-anisidine (ESPAS) in a reaction catalyzed by peroxidase (HPOD). The result of this oxidative coupling is a quinoneimine red-colored dye the absorbance of which can be measured at 540 nm. The absorbance is proportional to the concentration of triglycerides in the sample.

### Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol

VLDL cholesterol is calculated using the following equation that utilizes the triglyceride measurement: VLDL Cholesterol = Triglyceride/5 (if units in mg/dL).

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

A Analytical Performance:

1. Precision/Reproducibility:

A. Reproducibility with control materials.

This study was designed according to CLSI EP05-A3. The study was conducted at 3 external point-of-care (POC) sites, with 3 analyzers per site and at least 3 POC operators per site. Testing was conducted over 5 days using a single lot of consumables and consisted of 3 levels of control samples at low, medium, and high concentrations, with 6 replicates run per day, 3 run in the morning and 3 run in the afternoon (each replicate is run on an individual instrument). Overall, there were at least 90 replicates for each precision control sample level (3 sites x 1 sample x 3 replicates per run x 2 runs per day x 5 days = 90 replicates). The total precision as well as within run, between day, and between site precision were estimated. Results are displayed below.

B. Whole blood precision

This study was evaluated at five sites collecting samples from intended use population with normal and abnormal analyte levels. At least 20 subjects were enrolled at each site and for each test subject, eight replicates were measured across four instruments and two operators. The SD and CV% were calculated by pooling subject standard deviations and/or % CV for predefined Low, Medium, and High sub-intervals selected to represent normal and abnormal regions of the analytical measuring range and encompassing medical decision levels. Pooled imprecision is considered a representative estimate of reproducibility that include variability of sites, instruments, operators, days and repeatability.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TChol | 20–200 | 93 | 139 | 3.5 | 2.5 |
| TChol | 200–240 | 10 | 214 | 4.8 | 2.3 |
| TChol | 240–520 | 9 | 313 | 8.2 | 2.6 |
| TRIG | 20–150 | 69 | 91 | 2.2 | 2.9 |
| TRIG | 150–250 | 25 | 184 | 3.6 | 1.9 |
| TRIG | 250–700 | 9 | 339 | 5.7 | 1.6 |

C. Whole blood between-lot precision.

22 subjects consisting of 6 healthy individuals and 16 individuals in various disease states were enrolled at a single point-of-care clinical site and tested across 3 lots of the candidate panel on 3 individual analyzers by 2 operators. A total of 6 replicates per subject participant, 2 replicates per lot, were tested by 1 of the 2 operators. Results below present the number of subjects evaluated, the % difference from the mean and pooled %CV by lot and by analyte.

| Analyte | N-Subjects Per Lot | Mean relative difference % | | | Pooled %CV | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | Lot-A | Lot-B | Lot-C | Lot-A | Lot-B | Lot-C |
| TCHOL | 22 | -0.5% | -0.5% | 1.0% | 2.6 % | 2.1 % | 1.9 % |
| TRIG | 21 | 0.7% | -0.7% | 0.0% | 2.5 % | 2.0 % | 1.8% |

D. Control between-lot reproducibility.

To evaluate the lot-to-lot reproducibility for the assays, three (3) control samples (Low, Medium, High) were tested on 3 analyzers with 3 lots of the candidate test. Each sample level was tested with at least five (5) replicates on one analyzer each day with each single-use consumable kit lot

over three (3) days to achieve a minimum of fifteen (15) replicates per sample level and kit lot. Results are displayed below:

| Analyte | Sample | Units | N | Mean | SD | | | CV% | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| TChol | Low | mg/dL | 45 | 84.5 | 2.25 | 1.40 | 2.13 | 2.7% | 1.7% | 2.5% |
| TChol | Medium | mg/dL | 45 | 193.8 | 2.32 | 3.77 | 3.33 | 1.2% | 1.9% | 1.7% |
| TChol | High | mg/dL | 45 | 231.7 | 3.27 | 5.56 | 3.07 | 1.4% | 2.4% | 1.3% |

## 2. Linearity:

Linearity testing was performed in accordance with CLSI document EP06-Ed2. Linearity was assessed using multiple panels of samples. The linear range for total cholesterol and triglycerides were determined by testing nine (9) whole blood samples containing varying concentrations of analyte. Each sample was tested in quadruplicate, using one (1) kit lot, across four (4) analyzers, on a single day. The results of the study supported the claimed linear interval for TChol and Trig. Within the claimed analytical measuring range, the maximum observed deviation from linearity for TChol and TRIG were <2% and <4% respectively.

## 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:

Potential interference from endogenous and exogenous substances with the assays was evaluated following CLSI EP07-A3 and EP37 guidelines. Testing was performed with contrived lithium heparin whole blood samples from healthy donor population using two (2) analyte concentration levels targeted based on the recommendation in CLSI EP07. Endogenous and exogenous substances were spiked into samples at two targeted analyte concentration levels: approximately 150 mg/dL and 220 mg/dL for TChol, 100 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL for TRIG. For substances identified as an interferent, dose response testing was conducted to assess the highest concentration limit below which no significant interference was observed. Interference is defined as the analyte result shifted by more than 10% between the test and control samples*.
