The Magnesium assay is used for the quantitation of magnesium in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c8000 System. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low plasma levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high plasma levels of magnesium). For in vitro diagnostic use only. For prescription use only.
Device Story
The Magnesium assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit for use on the ARCHITECT c8000 System. It utilizes an enzymatic rate-up methodology where magnesium in the sample acts as a cofactor for isocitrate dehydrogenase. The reaction produces NADPH, causing an increase in absorbance at 340 nm that is directly proportional to the magnesium concentration. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results are provided to healthcare providers to assist in diagnosing and managing magnesium-related metabolic disorders. The assay supports automated and manual dilution protocols for samples exceeding the measuring interval.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP05-A2 (n=80 per sample, CVs 1.2-2.4%). Linearity evaluated per CLSI EP06-A (r=1.00, range 1.81-26.35 mg/dL). Detection limits (LoB 0.04, LoD 0.09, LoQ 0.75 mg/dL) established per CLSI EP17-A2. Interference testing per CLSI EP07-A2 identified hemoglobin as a potential interferent. Method comparison against predicate (n=118) showed high correlation (r=1.00) across various acidification conditions.
Technological Characteristics

#### Interference
The interference study for endogenous substances (albumin, ascorbic acid, bilirubin (conjugated), calcium, glucose, hemoglobin, and phosphorous) and urine preservatives (acetic acid, boric acid, 6N hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sodium fluoride) was performed based on guidance from CLSI document EP07-A2. Interference effects were assessed by comparing test samples containing potentially interfering albumin. ascorbic acid, bilirubin (conjugated), calcium, glucose, hemoglobin, phosphorous, acetic acid, boric acid, 6N hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sodium fluoride to control level samples.
The control and test level samples were tested in a minimum of 7 replicates using 1 lot of reagents,1 lot of Multiconstituent Calibrator (LN 1E65) and 1 lot commercially available controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 System. The control and test level samples for a given potential interferent/magnesium level combination were tested in the same run.
Additionally, a cation interference study was performed for copper and zinc.
For the copper and zinc study, solutions of each potential interferent were prepared by spiking urine with stock solutions in order to generate copper and zinc samples with concentrations of approximately 21.6 ug/dL and 3504 ug/L respectively. A control sample (urine) and test level samples were tested in 12 replicates using 1 lot of reagents, 1 lot of Multiconstituent Calibrator (LN 1E65) and 1 lot commercially available controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 System.
{9}------------------------------------------------
For magnesium samples targeted to 5 mg/dL, the assay showed no more than ± 10% interference for the listed substances at the interferent levels indicated in the following table.
| Interferent | Interferent<br>Level |
|------------------------|----------------------|

| Copper | ≤ 21.6 µg/dL |
| Zinc | ≤ 3504 µg/L |
| Iron | ≤ 0.6 mg/dL |
Acetic acid, nitric acid, and sodium fluoride did not meet the evaluation criteria of having a difference within or equal to ± 10% at a target of 5 mg/dL or 15 mg/dL levels of magnesium and will be included in the limitations of the procedure section of the package insert.
### Linearity
Linearity was determined based on guidance from Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document EP06-A. Three sets of linearity standards were prepared using a magnesium standard and saline (diluent). For each sample set, a low and high sample pool was prepared.
- . the low sample pool (Level 1) had a concentration greater than 0.0 mg/dL but below the LoQ and
- . the high sample pool (Level 12) was 20 to 30% beyond the highest expected measurement concentration.
A sample set was prepared for each combined magnesium pool. Each sample set consisted of 12 levels at the following magnesium target concentrations: 0.90, 1.43, 1.97, 3.03, 5.16, 9.43, 13.69, 17.95, 22.21, 26.48, 30.74 and 35.00 mg/dL. Levels 1 through 12 for each sample set were tested in a random order in a minimum of 4 replicates using 2 lots reagents and 1 lot each of Multiconstituent Calibrator (LN 1E65) and commercially available controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 System. All levels in a sample set were tested in the same run.
The urine application of the Magnesium assay was demonstrated to be linear across the range of 1.04 to 36.24 mg/dL, which spans the analytical measuring interval of 1.81 to 26.35 mg/dL.
{11}------------------------------------------------
#### Measuring Interval
The measuring interval was determined based on the results from 3 studies: Within Laboratory Precision (20-Day); Linearity; and Limit of Blank, Limit of Detection, and Limit of Quantitation.
The analytical measuring interval for the Magnesium assay was determined to be from 1.81 to 26.35 mg/dL.
#### Method Comparison
The study was performed based on guidance from CLSI document EP09-A3. A total of 118 patient urine specimens were evaluated with the Magnesium (LN 3P68) and Roche Magnesium Gen.2 (REF 06407358 190) assays. Of these samples, 12 of the samples were normal urine specimens spiked with magnesium stock to achieve samples with magnesium concentrations in the range of 15.5 to 26 mg/dL. Three aliquots were prepared and tested:
- a) No acidification
- b) Acidified using 6N HCl to pH <2 (1.8 to 1.9)
- c) Acidified using 6N HCl to pH ~1 (0.9 to 1.1)
Two replicates of each aliquot (a), (b) and (c) were run using the Magnesium (LN 3P68) reagent kit where the first valid replicate was used in the analysis. One replicate of each aliquot (c) was run at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW, Dallas) using Roche Magnesium Gen.2 (REF 06407358 190) reagent.
The urine application of the Magnesium (LN 3P68) assay, which had a regression slope of 1.08 and correlation coefficient (r-value) of 1.00 for urine samples at pH <2 across the measuring interval of the assay, a regression slope of 1.04 and correlation coefficient (r-value) of 1.00 for urine samples with no acidification across the measuring interval of the assay, and a regression slope of 1.05 and correlation coefficient (r-value) of 1.00 for urine samples at pH ~1 across the measuring interval of the assay demonstrated acceptable correlation to the predicate device.
{12}------------------------------------------------
#### Automated Dilution Protocol
One sample was prepared targeting magnesium concentration of 75 mg/dL and evaluated in replicates of 10 using the autodilution protocol. All samples were tested in the same run using 1 lot of reagents and 1 lot each of commercially available calibrators and controls on one ARCHITECT c8000 System.
Magnesium assay results were impacted by not more than ±10% for analyte concentration of 75 mg/dL.
## Manual Dilution
Three urine pools were prepared targeting magnesium concentrations of 15, 25, and 40 mg/dL. Endogenous magnesium concentrations were measured in random urine specimens which were then spiked using a concentrated MgCl2 stock to the target concentrations. Each analyte pool was evaluated after 1:2 manual dilution. Dilutions were performed using 0.85% and 0.90% (NaCl) saline. Samples were tested in a minimum of 12 replicates using 1 lot of reagent, 1 lot of Multiconstituent Calibrator (LN 1E65), and 1 lot of commercially available controls on 1 ARCHITECT c8000 System. Diluted samples at a given magnesium level were tested in the same run.
Magnesium assay results were impacted by not more than ±10% for analyte concentrations 15, 25, and 40mg/dL when evaluated with a 1:2 manual dilution (using 0.85% or 0.90% saline).
{13}------------------------------------------------
