This in vitro method is intended to quantitatively measure HDL Cholesterol in human serum and plasma on the Bayer ADVIA® IMS systems. Measurements of HDL Cholesterol are used in assessing cardiovascular risk.
Device Story
The Bayer ADVIA IMS Direct HDL Cholesterol Assay is an immunoturbidometric in vitro diagnostic test used on the Bayer ADVIA IMS Analyzer. It processes human serum or plasma samples to quantify HDL cholesterol levels. The assay utilizes two premixed liquid reagents (R1 and R2) loaded directly onto the analyzer. The system performs an automated reaction sequence involving sample incubation and measurement of turbidity changes. The resulting HDL cholesterol concentration is used by clinicians to assess cardiovascular disease risk. The device is intended for professional use in clinical laboratory settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision studies (N=40 per level) showed within-run CVs of 1.3-3.0% and total CVs of 1.8-3.3%. Linearity was established from 7-90 mg/dL (r=0.9987). Method comparison against the predicate (ADVIA 1650) yielded r=0.988. Interference testing confirmed no significant deviation (≤10%) with bilirubin (up to 30 mg/dL conjugated/20 mg/dL unconjugated), hemoglobin (500 mg/dL), and lipids (1000 mg/dL). Matrix comparison confirmed equivalency between serum, lithium heparin plasma, and potassium-EDTA plasma.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic reagent system for automated chemistry analyzers. Quantitative colorimetric/enzymatic assay principle. Analytical range: 7-90 mg/dL. Designed for use on Bayer ADVIA IMS platform. No specific materials or software algorithms described beyond standard automated clinical chemistry instrumentation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro diagnostic measurement of HDL cholesterol in human serum and plasma for cardiovascular disease risk assessment. For professional use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A total of ten samples were prepared by mixing 0.9% saline and a high serum linearity pool that was prepared in-house. From the derived theoretical values (x) versus obtained values (y) with levels ranging from 7 mg/dL to 85 mg/dL, the following regression equation was obtained: y = 1.01207x - 0.22402, r = 0.9987.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The single level ADVIA Chemistry HDL/LDL Cholesterol calibrator is used to calibrate the ADVIA IMS DHDL method. This calibrator was previously approved for use on the ADVIA 1650 and 2400 systems. The calibrator is traceable via patient sample correlation to the Designated Comparison Method established by the National Cholesterol Education Program.

d. Detection limit:
Based upon the linearity data, the analytical range was established as $7 - 90\mathrm{mg / dL}$
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference was evaluated by spiking human serum pools with hemoglobin, unconjugated bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, and triglycerides. Intermediate dilutions were determined by diluting the spiked sample with undiluted sample. The observed recovery was considered to be of no clinical significance if the deviation for these potential interferences was $\leq 10\%$ . Bilirubin (unconjugated) up to a level of $30\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , bilirubin (conjugated) up to a level of $20\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , hemoglobin up to a level of $500\mathrm{mg / dL}$ , and lipids up to a level of $1000\mathrm{mg / dL}$ did not interfere with the assay.
f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Correlation was evaluated with human serum or plasma as appropriate in a protocol similar to CLSI document EP9-A. Regression data for each method indicate the linear least-squares fit between the ADVIA IMS system (y) and the predicate system/method (x).
