The VITROS 5,1 FS Chemistry System is intended for use in the in vitro quantitative measurements of a variety of analytes of clinical interest, using both VITROS Chemistry Products Slides (colorimetric endpoint, rate, ion-selective electrode, and immunorate methods) and VITROS Chemistry Products MicroTip liquid reagents (spectrophotometric and spectrophotometric immunoassay methods.) The VITROS Chemistry Products dHDL Reagent Pack, VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kit 10 is for in vitro diagnostic use only. The dHDL quantitatively measures HDL Cholesterol in plasma and serum. HDL cholesterol is used to evaluate the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The risk of CHD increases with lower HDL cholesterol concentrations.
Device Story
VITROS 5,1 FS Chemistry System is a fully automated, random-access clinical chemistry analyzer for high-volume diagnostic labs. It processes serum, plasma, urine, and CSF samples. The system utilizes two primary processing centers: Chemistry Slides (colorimetric, potentiometric, rate, immunorate) and MicroTip liquid reagents (spectrophotometric, immunoassay). For dHDL assays, the system performs multi-point rate measurements on patient samples. Operators interface via touchscreen/keyboard to manage worklists, calibration, and QC. The system performs automated sample identification, aspiration, incubation, and photometric analysis. Results are reported to the clinician to assess CHD risk based on HDL concentrations. The system features automated clot detection, level sensing, and bi-directional LIS connectivity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated through method comparison studies using 107 patient samples, demonstrating a correlation of 0.9836 with the predicate. Precision studies (within-day and within-lab CV%) were conducted for multiple analytes (AST, CREA, Na+, PHYT, URIC, dHDL) over 10-22 days. Linearity and reportable ranges were established for all tested analytes.
Indicated for in vitro quantitative measurement of HDL cholesterol in human serum or plasma to evaluate coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Used for clinical chemistry analysis in high-volume laboratory settings.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range: The linearity over the reportable (dynamic) range of the selected marker VITROS Chemistry slides was evaluated according to NCCLS protocol EP6. Two serum test pools were prepared with analyte concentrations near the extreme of reportable range. The reportable range of each assay is as follows - AST 3 - 750UL, CREATININE - 0.05 - 14.0mg/dl, Phenytoin 3.00 - 40.00umol/L, Sodium 75.0 - 250.0mmol/L, Uric Acid 0.50-17.00mg/dl Additionally a linearity was performed on the Vitros dHDL assay. Linearity was determined by diluting a concentrated high HDLC linearity fluid in saline, and samples were analyzed on the VITROS 5,1 FS system. The systems responses were plotted against the percent high pool and against calculated values to assess the degree to which the plotted curved conforms to a straight line. The equation of the line established was $y = 2.2744x - 1.7229$ with an R squared of 0.9985 this equation was used to plot regression concentrations. The data presented defines a linear range of the dHDL assay when run on the VITROS dHDL and established a reportable range of 2.66 to 135.64. This data supports a linearity claim of $3.0 - 100\mathrm{mg / dl}$ .
c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method): Aliquots of sample are analyzed with an internal reference method for the particular analyte.
d. Detection limit (functional sensitivity: Detection limits were determined by measurement of the linearity range of selected marker slides. The linearity was evaluated according to NCCLS protocol EP6. Two serum pools were prepared near the extremes of reportable range, the pools were them mixed to give additional pools at intermediate

f. Assay cut-off: Visual analysis determined the assay is linear across the range tested establishing a range and cutoff as listed for each marker assay. AST 3 – 750UL, CREATININE – 0.05 – 14.0mg/dl, Phenytoin 3.00 – 40.00umol/L, Sodium 75.0 – 250.0mmol/L, Uric Acid 0.50-17.00mg/dl and 3mg/dl and 100mg/dl for dHDL.
