Intended Use
The FERR method is an in-vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of ferritin in human serum and plasma (lithium or sodium heparin and EDTA) on the Dimension Vista™ system. Measurements of ferritin aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting iron metabolism, such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) and iron deficiency anemia. The LOCI 4 Calibrator is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the Ferritin (FERR) method on the Dimension Vista™ system.
Device Story
Dimension Vista™ Ferritin Flex® reagent cartridge is a homogenous, sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay using LOCI™ technology. Input: human serum or plasma sample (2 µL). Process: sample incubated with biotinylated anti-ferritin antibody and Chemibeads (coated with anti-ferritin antibody and chemiluminescent dye); Sensibeads (streptavidin-coated with photosensitizer dye) added to form bead-pair immunocomplexes. Illumination at 680 nm triggers singlet oxygen diffusion from Sensibeads to Chemibeads, inducing chemiluminescence measured at 612 nm. Output: ferritin concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Output aids clinicians in diagnosing iron metabolism diseases. Benefits include rapid, automated quantitative assessment of ferritin levels.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance established via split-sample method comparison between the subject device and the predicate. Study included 158 clinical patient samples. Results showed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.996, a slope of 1.01, and an intercept of 1.48 ng/mL, confirming substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay (LOCI™ technology). Reagents: synthetic bead reagents (Sensibeads, Chemibeads) and biotinylated monoclonal antibody fragments. Detection: 680 nm excitation, 612 nm emission. Matrix: bovine serum albumin. Calibrator: 5-level liquid, traceable to WHO standard 3rd IS 94/572. Automated clinical chemistry system platform.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of ferritin in human serum and plasma to aid in diagnosis of iron metabolism diseases, including hemochromatosis and iron deficiency anemia. Prescription use only.

#### Device Description:
The Dimension Vista™ FERR Flex® reagent cartridge assay is a homogenous, sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay based on LOCI™ technology. The LOCT™ reagents include two synthetic bead reagents and a biotinylated anti-ferritin monoclonal antibody fragment. The first bead reagent (Sensibeads) is coated with streptavidin and contains a photosensitizer dye. The second bead reagent (Chemibeads) is coated with a second anti-ferritin monoclonal antibody and contains chemiluminescent dye. Sample is incubated with biotinylated antibody and Chemibeads to form a particle/ferritin/biotinylated antibody sandwich. Sensibeads are added and bind to the biotin to form bead-pair immunocomplexes. Illumination of the complex at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from Sensibeads which diffuses into the Chemibeads, triggering a chemiluminescent reaction. The resulting signal is measured at 612 mm and is a direct function of the ferritin concentration in the sample.
The Dimension Vista™ LOCI 4 Calibrator is a five level, liquid calibrator. It is packaged as a kit of 10 vials, two vials each of five levels. The product matrix is 6% bovine serum albumin with buffer, stabilizer and preservatives. Level A is zero. Levels B through E contain Ferritin at the following target concentrations :
{1}------------------------------------------------
| Level | Ferritin<br>concentration |
|-------|---------------------------|
| A | 0 ng/mL |
| B | 26 ng/mL |
| C | 210 ng/mL |
| D | 1050 ng/mL |
| E | 2000 ng/mL |
Values are assigned to new lots from a masterpool that is referenced to the WHO standard for FERR, 3 rd IS 94/572
#### Intended Use:
The FERR method is an in-vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of ferritin in human serum and plasma (lithium or sodium heparin and EDTA) on the Dimension Vista™ system.
