Device Story
The Elecsys Troponin I and Troponin I STAT immunoassays are two-step sandwich immunoassays utilizing streptavidin-coated microparticles and electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) detection. The device processes human serum or plasma samples on Elecsys or MODULAR Analytics E170 analyzers. Calibration is performed using a 2-point calibration curve and a master curve provided via reagent barcode. The system produces quantitative Troponin I concentration results (ng/mL). These results are used by clinicians in conjunction with patient medical history and clinical examinations to aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel.

L. Test Principle:
The Elecsys Troponin I Immunoassay and Elecsys Troponin I STAT Immunoassays use a sandwich principle for measurement of troponin I in serum or plasma. Two biotinylated monoclonal cardiac troponin I-specific antibodies labeled with a ruthenium complex react to form a sandwich complex during the first incubation period. Then, streptavidin-coated microparticles are added resulting in the binding of the complex to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. This occurs during a second incubation phase. Once this incubation is completed, the reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with a wash. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve (5-point calibration) provided via the reagent barcode. The differences between the Elecsys Troponin I Immunoassay and Elecsys Troponin I STAT Immunoassays are that the STAT assay is completed in half the time as the other assay and is limited to use on specific analyzers.
The PreciControl Troponin contains two concentrations of troponin I and is used for monitoring the accuracy and precision of the Elecsys Troponin I and Elecsys Troponin I STAT immunoassays.
The Elecsys Troponin I CalSet and STAT CalSet are calibrators containing two concentrations of troponin I. All calibration information is included on a barcoded card which is loaded into the respective instrument systems.

{9}
Elecsys Troponin I immunoassay and Elecsys Troponin I STAT:
Precision was evaluated using multiple serum or plasma pools. Samples were analyzed at a total of six laboratories within the US and outside of the US. Some laboratories had duplicate instrumentation and precision was performed on both analyzers. Samples were assayed in duplicate with a minimum of two runs per day using one reagent lot. Several sites did separate runs of serum and/or human plasma (HP) or had duplicate instrumentation indicated by #. The low control was also evaluated on both analyzers. The sponsor is using 0.3 ng/mL as the low limit of the measuring range based on precision of ≤ 10% CV at that value.

Elecsys Troponin I immunoassay: Linearity was evaluated on the Roche
{11}
MODULAR Analytics E170. Three separate dilution series were prepared from three separate serum pools. Each high pool was assayed multiple times to determine the mean value prior to dilution. The samples were analyzed in three separate runs. Only native samples were used for this study. Diluent was used for a troponin free sample. Each serum pool was serially diluted to make 10 different concentrations. Each dilution was tested in triplicate and the median value was compared to the expected value. Linearity and recoveries were calculated against the expected values after dilution using Passing-Bablock, linear, and Deming regressions. Troponin I concentrations covered the measuring range of the assay.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
## Calibrators
Elecsys Troponin I CalSet and Elecsys Troponin I STAT CalSet are traceable master calibrators which are standardized against another commercially available troponin I assay. Master calibrator value assignment occurs after 2 independent series are analyzed on 4 reference instruments. New lots of Troponin I CalSet and Troponin I STAT CalSet are analyzed multiple times against the master calibrators on the appropriate platform. The target value for the calibrators is then calculated as the median of the determined values.
## Controls
Elecsys PreciControl Troponin is traceable to analysis against the master calibrators on the aforementioned platforms using specific reagent lots and multiple runs per instrument. The target values for the controls are then calculated as the median of the determined values.
## Stability
The calibrators and controls are lyophilized. After reconstitution, they are stable for on-board the instruments for 5 hours, four days after opening at 2-8° C and 3 months at -20°C. Controls and calibrators should only be thawed once.
On-board calibration stability was verified on the Elecsys 2010 and the MODULAR Analytics E170 by measuring troponin I recovery in controls and human serum samples. Calibration is recommended every 7 days if the kit is not consumed and every 4 weeks with the same reagent lot and the reagent pack is consumed within 7 days.
The stability protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
## d. Detection limit:
Limits of Blank (LoB) and Limits of Detection (LoD) for Elecsys Troponin I and Elecsys Troponin I STAT were evaluated using CLSI EP17-A guideline. Limits of Quantitation (LoQ) for the two devices were established by determining the concentration with corresponds to an inter-assay CV of 10%. Studies were performed on analytical platforms appropriate to the devices.
## Elecsys Troponin I:
LoB was determined by analyzing 5 troponin I free human serum samples on
{13}
one MODULAR Analytics E170 in singlicate in 6 runs over four days. LoB is < 0.3 ng/mL however, the sponsor is using the LoQ, 0.3 ng/mL, as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
LoD was determined by analyzing 5 human sera containing low amounts of troponin I on one MODULAR Analytics E170 in singlicate in 6 runs over three days. LoD < 0.3 ng/mL however the sponsor is using the LoQ, 0.3 ng/mL, as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
LoQ was determined by analyzing 6 serum samples and two controls with concentrations ranging from 0.0251 ng/mL to 17.1026 ng/mL were tested in singlicate on one MODULAR Analytics E170 for 10 days. The concentration with an inter-assay ≤ 10% CV was 0.3 ng/mL. The sponsor is using the LoQ as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
## Elecsys Troponin I STAT:
LoB was determined by analyzing 5 troponin I free human serum samples on two Elecsys 2010s in 6 runs over four days. LoB < 0.3 ng/mL. The sponsor is using the LoQ, 0.3 ng/mL, as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
LoD was determined by analyzing 5 human sera containing low amounts of troponin I on two Elecsys 2010s in 6 runs over three days. LoD < 0.3 ng/mL. The sponsor is using the LoQ, 0.3 ng/mL, as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
LoQ was determined by analyzing 10 serum samples and two controls with concentrations ranging from 0.0251 ng/mL to 17.1026 ng/mL were tested in singlicate on one Elecsys 2010 for 10 days. The concentration with an inter-assay ≤ 10% CV was 0.3 ng/mL. The sponsor is using the LoQ, 0.3 ng/mL, as the lowest limit of the measuring range.
## e. Analytical specificity:
Cross-reactivity and endogenous interference studies:
Analytical specificity was evaluated on the Elecsys 2010 with the Elecsys Troponin I STAT reagent for possible cross reactants of skeletal muscle TnI, recombinant cardiac troponin T (TnT), purified troponin C (TnC) and skeletal muscle TnT, as well as endogenous interferents of hemolysis, biotin, lipemia, bilirubin and rheumatoid factors.
Two samples of different Troponin I concentrations were analyzed in duplicate for each cross reactant and interferent. One sample had Troponin I values within the clinical decision range of 0.3-0.5 ng/mL. The second sample had Troponin I values ranging from approximately 2.5-2.8 ng/mL.
{14}
Samples were split and spiked with the appropriate compounds at various concentrations and compared to an unaltered aliquot of the sample.
Concentrations up to 2000 ng/mL of skeletal TnI, recombinant cardiac TnT, purified troponin C (TnC), and skeletal muscle TnT did not cross-react with the assay.
Hemoglobin up to 0.4 g/dL, biotin up to 30 ng/mL, lipemia (Intralipid) up to 1,500 mg/dL, bilirubin up to 25 mg/dL and rheumatoid factors up to 1,500 IU/mL did not interfere with the assay. Labeling states that grossly hemolyzed samples should not be used.
52 potentially interfering common compounds and prescription drugs were tested in 100 times higher than expected dose level in plasma. A list of these compounds can be found in the package insert.
f. Assay cut-off:
The sponsor determined the AMI cut-off to be 0.3 ng/mL. See clinical sensitivity 3a below.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A method comparison was conducted between the predicate and the Elecsys 2010 using the Troponin I STAT reagent. 114 samples with troponin I values covering the measuring range were analyzed in singlicate. Regression was calculated using Passing-Bablock, Standardized Linearity and Deming equations. The results are summarized below.

Based on the method comparison, clinical data was used to determine substantial equivalency. See section M.3.a. To demonstrate equivalence between the two reagent systems, comparisons were performed between the Troponin I immunoassay reagent on the MODULAR Analytics E170 and the Troponin I STAT immunoassay reagent on the Elecsys 2010. 115 samples were analyzed on the E170 and the Elecsys 2010. All samples were run in

# 3. Clinical studies:
# a. Clinical Sensitivity:
A prospective study was conducted with 402 patients at 5 sites (2 US, 3 non-US). Inclusion criteria were chest pain for 24 hours and clinicians' diagnoses using the ESC/AHA/ACC criteria on the Elecsys 2010 and Modular Analytics E170. A breakdown of AMI and non-AMI frequency by site is below.
| | Site 1 | Site 2 | Site 3 | Site 4 | Site 5 | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Non-AMI | 123 | 99 | 11 | 4 | 74 | 311 (77%) |
| AMI | 25 | 48 | 1 | 5 | 12 | 91 (23%) |
| Total | 148 | 147 | 12 | 9 | 86 | 402 |
Sensitivity and specificity of the Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) cutoff as defined by ESC/ACC/AHA criteria for the candidate device were evaluated at various time intervals against the predicate. Blood samples were taken at 0-6 hrs, 6-12 hrs, and $>12$ hrs. post admission. The summarized sensitivities and specificities are below:

c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
4. Clinical cut-off:
A separate cutoff study was performed prior to the clinical studies performed in M.3.a above. 652 subjects from one US site and one non-US site were evaluated for chest pain. Using the clinician's diagnosis, based on the ESC/AHA/ACC criteria, 358 subjects (102 females, 256 males) were included in the determination of the AMI cut-off study. Multiple blood samples were drawn and analyzed using the Troponin I assay and plotted using ROC analysis. A summary is below showing the standard deviation, and lower and upper confidence limits.
The cut-off was determined to be 0.3 ng/mL with a CV ≤ 10%.
| AUC | Std | LCL | UCL |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0.9565 | 0.0158 | 0.91263 | 0.97885 |
5. Expected values/Reference range:
In a study of 1,137 apparently healthy individuals from 4 US sites and 2 European sites, the troponin I levels were determined to be < 0.3 ng/mL
N. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
