1. Analytical Performance:
a. Precision /Reproducibility:
Precision was performed by testing four sample pools two-fold twice a day for twenty days. The within-run and total CVs were calculated according to CLSI EP5-A protocol. The within run precision for serum samples is less than 2% and total precision is less than 3% on the AU400/400e, AU600/640/640e, and AU2700/5400 instruments. The within run precision for urine samples is less than 3% and total precision is less than 5% on the AU400/400e, AU600/640/640e, and AU2700/5400 instruments.

b. Linearity/ Assay reportable range.
A linearity study was conducted on the Olympus Uric Acid reagent using prepared standard solutions. Samples were prepared by diluting a high pool containing 33.49 mg/dL with a 0 mg/dL sample and assayed. The linearity was established for serum as 1.5 to 30 mg/dL. For urine linearity, samples were prepared by diluting a high pool containing 123 mg/dL with a 0 mg/dL sample. The linearity was established for urine as 0.7 to 100 mg/dL.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators or methods)
The frequency of calibration is every 30 days. Calibration of the Olympus Uric Acid reagent is accomplished by use of the Olympus Chemistry Calibrator (Cat # DR0070 or DR0071), which is traceable to the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material (SRM) 909b for serum and plasma specimens. For urine specimens the calibration is established using the Olympus Urine Calibrator (Cat # DR0090).
A stability study was conducted on the Olympus Uric Acid reagent whereby both fresh reagent and reagent at the end of its on-board stability (30 days) were assayed for uric acid recovery on prepared control material and to confirm that the linearity of the reagent was maintained after 30 days on-board,
{4}
The manufacturer recommends in the labeling that during operation of the Olympus analyzer at least two levels of an appropriate quality control material should be tested a minimum of once a day. In addition, these controls should be performed after calibration, with each new lot of reagent, and after specific maintenance or troubleshooting steps described in the appropriate Olympus User's Guide. Quality control testing should be performed in accordance with regulatory requirements and each laboratory's standard procedure.
## d. Detection Limit
The lowest detectable level represents the lowest measurable level of uric acid that can be distinguished from zero. It is calculated as the absolute mean plus three standard deviations of 20 replicates of an analyte free sample.
The lowest detectable level using serum settings was estimated as follows:
| Analyzer | Lowest Detectable Level (mg/dL) |
| --- | --- |
| AU600/640/640^{e} | 0.02 |
| AU400/400^{e} | 0.02 |
