Indications for Use
The DiaSorin LIAISON® TSH assay is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin and thyrotropic hormone, in human serum. The test has to be performed on the LIAISON® XL Analyzer. Measurements of thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the anterior pituitary are used in the diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders. The DiaSorin LIAISON® Control Thyroid 1, LIAISON® Control Thyroid 2 and LIAISON® Control Thyroid 3 are intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the accuracy and precision of the DiaSorin LIAISON® TSH assay.
Device Story
LIAISON® TSH is a sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for quantitative TSH measurement in human serum. Device uses mouse monoclonal antibodies: one coated on magnetic particles (solid phase), one linked to isoluminol derivative (conjugate). Operated on LIAISON® XL Analyzer; system performs all incubation and processing steps. Photomultiplier measures relative light units (RLU), which are inversely proportional to TSH concentration. Results calculated via 2-point calibration against stored master curve. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Output provides TSH concentration (mIU/L) to assist clinicians in diagnosing thyroid or pituitary dysfunction. Includes three levels of lyophilized quality control samples to monitor assay accuracy and precision.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison (n=181) vs. commercial immunoassay showed Passing & Bablok regression y = 1.005x - 0.0030 (R2=0.9748). Precision study (n=160 replicates per sample) demonstrated total CVs between 3.6% and 5.5%. Linearity confirmed 0.02–90 mIU/L. LoB/LoD/LoQ determined as 0.014, 0.02, and 0.02 mIU/L respectively. No significant interference observed for triglycerides, hemoglobin, bilirubin, albumin, or common hormones (LH, FSH, hGH, hCG, HAMA).
Technological Characteristics
Sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay. Solid phase: magnetic particles coated with mouse monoclonal anti-TSH. Conjugate: isoluminol-antibody conjugate. Energy source: LIAISON® XL Analyzer (photomultiplier detection). Form factor: kit with reagents and calibrators. Connectivity: integrated with LIAISON® XL Analyzer. Traceability: 2nd IRP WHO 80/558 standard.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative determination of TSH in human serum to aid diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders in patients requiring clinical assessment of anterior pituitary function.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A thyroid stimulating hormone test system is a device intended to measure thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as thyrotrophin and thyrotrophic hormone, in serum and plasma. Measurements of thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the anterior pituitary are used in the diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders.
