The Randox RX daytona plus magnesium (Mg) test system is intended for the quantitative in vitro determination of magnesium concentration in serum, urine and lithium heparinized plasma. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high levels of magnesium).
Device Story
The Randox RX daytona plus magnesium (Mg) test system is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit used on the RX daytona plus analyzer. It measures magnesium concentration in serum, urine, and lithium heparinized plasma. The device uses a colorimetric method where magnesium ions react with xylidyl blue in an alkaline medium to form a purple-red chelate; EGTA is used to complex calcium and exclude it from the reaction. The color intensity, proportional to magnesium concentration, is measured by the analyzer. The system is intended for use by laboratory professionals in clinical settings. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing and managing magnesium-related metabolic disorders. The device provides quantitative data to support clinical decision-making regarding patient electrolyte status.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per CLSI guidelines. Precision (n=80 per level) showed total CVs 2.3-4.1% (serum) and 4.2-5.9% (urine). Linearity confirmed across 0.74-4.95 mg/dL (serum) and 1.01-23.82 mg/dL (urine). LoQ 0.55 mg/dL (serum) and 0.95 mg/dL (urine). Method comparison against predicate (n=108 samples) yielded r=0.992 (serum) and r=0.999 (urine). Interference testing showed no significant impact from common substances (hemoglobin, bilirubin, triglycerides, etc.) up to specified concentrations.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision was evaluated according to the CLSI EP05-A3 guideline. For serum precision, three serum based control materials and five human serum sample pools were tested on two RX Daytona plus systems by two operators. For urine precision, two urine based control materials, three human urine sample pools and one linearity sample were tested on two RX Daytona Plus systems by two operators.
Testing was conducted with two lots of Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium (MG), one lot on each RX Daytona Plus system, twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days. Two replicates per run were performed for each sample for a total of 80 data points per lot.
A representative lot performance for serum is summarized in the following table.
| Serum Sample | N | Mean | Within Run | | Total | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was evaluated according to the CLSI EP06 guideline. The linearity of the Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium (MG) was evaluated by preparing a series of 11 serum samples with analyte concentrations of 0.7, 1.13, 1.56, 1.99, 2.40, 2.85, 3.28, 3.71, 4.14, 4.57 and 5.00 mg/dL, and with 11 urine samples with magnesium concentrations of 0.95, 3.36, 5.76, 8.17, 10.57, 12.98, 15.38, 17.79, 20.19, 20.60 and 25.00 mg/dL. Samples were tested in five replicates with two reagent lots on one RX Daytona Plus system. The linear regression results between the expected values and the observed values are summarized in the following table:
| Sample Type | Linear regression | R² | Concentration range tested |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Serum | y = 0.96x + 0.08 | 0.999 | 0.70 - 5.0 mg/dL |
| Urine | y = 0.97x + 0.32 | 0.998 | 0.95 - 25.0 mg/dL |
The linearity study results support the claimed measuring ranges of 0.74 - 4.95 mg/dL for serum and 1.01 - 23.82 mg/dL for urine.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability:
The Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium (MG) assay is traceable to the Magnesium reference material NIST 909b.
Stability:
Shelf life stability protocol and acceptance criteria for Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium (MG) assay were reviewed and determined to be adequate to support a shelf life claim of 24 months at 2-8°C and an onboard stability claim of 5 days.
The Randox Calibration Serum Level 3 Calibrator was previously cleared in k053153 and the Randox Assayed Multi-sera Level 2 and Level 3 Controls were previously cleared in k942458.
d. Detection limit:
Detection limit studies were carried out in accordance with the CLSI EP17-A2 guideline.
The limit of blank (LoB) was determined by running a blank sample in 20 replicates per day over 3 days using two reagent lots on one RX Daytona Plus system. The 95 percentile rank order was assigned as the LOB.
The limit of detection (LoD) was determined by running four low level samples in 20 replicates per day over 3 days using two reagent lots one RX Daytona Plus system. LoD was calculated based on LoB (mean) + 1.65 SD (low sample).
{5}
The limit of quantitation (LoQ) was determined by running four low level samples tested in 12 replicates per day over 5 days using two lots of reagents tested on one RX Daytona Plus system. LoQ was defined as the lowest concentration that can be detected with $\leq 20\%$ imprecision and $\leq 20\%$ bias.
The results are summarized in the table below:
| Sample Type | Serum, mg/dL | Urine, mg/dL |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LoB | 0.28 | 0.44 |
| LoD | 0.39 | 0.68 |
| LoQ | 0.55 | 0.95 |
The detection limit studies support the claimed measuring range of $0.74 - 4.95\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for serum and $1.01 - 23.82\mathrm{mg / dl}$ for urine samples.
# e. Analytical specificity:
The Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium (MG) was evaluated for interference according to the CLSI EP07-A2 guideline. Potential interfering compounds were spiked into serum or urine samples at magnesium levels of $3.89\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and 6.32 $\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for serum, and $4.87\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and $24.33\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for urine, respectively. Bias was defined as the difference in results between the control sample (without the interferent) and the mean value of test sample (containing the interferent) expressed in percent. The sponsor considered interference significant when bias exceeded $10\%$ .
The highest concentration of substances tested that did not cause significant interference is summarized in the tables below.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Method comparison testing was conducted in accordance with the CLSI EP09-A3 guideline. A total of 108 serum samples (100 native samples and 8 spiked samples) with concentration ranges of 0.85 to 4.54 mg/dL were evaluated using the Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium on RX Daytona Plus system (candidate) versus the Siemens Magnesium assay on the ADVIA 1800 system (predicate). In addition, 108 urine samples (100 native samples and 8 altered samples) with concentration ranges of 1.15 to 23.12 mg/dL were tested by two operators using two lots of Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium reagent on one RX Daytona Plus system (candidate) versus the Siemens Magnesium assay on the ADVIA 1800 system (predicate). Testing was performed for 3 working days and each sample was tested in singlicate.
The test method was compared to the predicate device and the following linear regression equations were obtained:
| Sample type | N | Sample range (mg/dL) | Slope | Intercept | R |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Serum | 108 | 0.80 - 4.54 | 0.994 | 0.050 | 0.992 |
| Urine | 108 | 1.15 - 23.12 | 0.990 | 0.067 | 0.999 |
b. Matrix comparison:
Matrix comparison between serum and lithium heparin plasma samples were tested by one operator on one RX Daytona plus analyzer using two lots of Randox RX Daytona Plus Magnesium reagents. A total of 42 matched patient sample pairs were analyzed spanning the concentration ranges of 0.75 to 4.13 mg/dL.
{7}
The following linear regression equation was obtained between the two matrices:
$$
y = 0.96x + 0.09, R = 0.992
$$
The results of the matrix comparison study support the sponsor claim that serum and lithium heparin plasma samples can be tested with this assay.
