The Diazyme Glycated Serum Protein POC Test Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of glycated serum proteins (GSP; fructosamine) in serum. Fructosamine is representative of blood glucose levels over the course of 2-3 weeks. The measurement of glycated serum proteins is useful for monitoring diabetic patients. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
The Diazyme Glycated Serum Protein POC Test Kit is a point-of-care diagnostic system used to monitor diabetic patients by measuring glycated serum protein (fructosamine) levels, which reflect blood glucose over 2-3 weeks. The system consists of pre-filled reagent cuvettes, reagent caps, and a lot-specific RFID calibration card. It is operated on the Diazyme SMART analyzer, a compact spectrophotometer. The user loads the serum sample into the cuvette; the analyzer performs an enzymatic colorimetric Trinder end-point reaction. The RFID card provides the instrument with the lot-specific calibration curve, mixing times, and reading parameters. The analyzer measures absorbance at 546 nm, which is proportional to GSP concentration. The output is a quantitative GSP value displayed to the healthcare provider, assisting in the long-term management of diabetes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical diagnostic studies were required. Performance was established via bench testing and method comparison. Precision was evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 across three POC sites (n=160 samples), showing total CVs ranging from 1.7% to 7.8%. Linearity was confirmed (r=0.999) over 61-1348 μmol/L. Method comparison against the predicate (Hitachi 917) yielded a correlation coefficient (R²) of 0.99 across all sites. Interference testing showed <10% deviation for common substances (ascorbic acid, bilirubin, triglycerides, glucose, uric acid, total protein). Reference range verification was performed on 120 healthy adults.
Technological Characteristics
Quantitative enzymatic colorimetric assay. Reagents include Tris-HCl buffer, enzymes, TOOS, HRP, and Geneticin. Sensing principle: spectrophotometric absorbance at 546 nm. System includes pre-filled cuvettes and RFID-based calibration. Connectivity: RFID card for lot-specific parameters. Software: Embedded firmware in SMART analyzer for spectrophotometric data processing and calibration curve application.
Indications for Use

L. Test Principle:
Glycated Serum Protein (GSP; fructosamine) concentration is determined through a series of enzymatic reactions and the oxidative degradation of glycated protein fragments and uses Diazyme’s specific fructosamine™ to release hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide released is measured by a colorimetric Trinder end-point reaction. The absorbance at 546 nm is proportional to the concentration of GSP.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
In house Precision Study: Precision studies were evaluated in accordance with the CLSI EP5-A2 guideline. Within run and total imprecision were assessed by testing a two level serum based control with the approximate concentrations of 213 and 719 µmol/L GSP (Fructosamine) respectively. An additional five serum samples with approximate GSP (Fructosamine) concentrations of 85, 225, 480,750 and 1200 µmol/L respectively were also tested. Samples were tested in 4 runs per day over 20 working days. Results are as follows:

POC Precision Study: a precision study was performed at three physician office laboratories by intended users. Each site tested 5 different patient serum samples containing different levels of GSP (Fructosamine). Each sample was analyzed in replicates of four over a five day period. The results are summarized in the tables below:
Site 1

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A linearity study was performed using 11 diluted samples with GSP (Fructosamine) concentrations evenly distributed throughout the assay range. Samples were prepared from a high serum pool spiked with human GSP (Fructosamine~1348 μmol/L) and low analyte serum GSP (Fructosamine concentration ~ 2 μmol/L) to cover the assay range. The range of samples tested was 2-1348 μmol/L. Each dilution was assayed in triplicate on the SMART analyzer. The linear regression analysis between the
{5}
expected and observed values is as follows:
$$
y = 1.007x - 0.1, r = 0.999
$$
The results of the linearity study support the claimed measuring range of 61-1348 $\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The Diazyme GSP POC Test kit is traceable to an internal standard (Master Lot) which was gravimetrically prepared from commercially available reagents. The concentrations of fructosyl propylamine were confirmed via a commercially available Fructosamine assay.
The initial lot of calibrator materials (master lot) was value assigned through a correlation study using control and patient samples with values determines using the Diazyme GSP assay (k110188) on the SMART analyzer and Randox Fructosamine assay on the Hitachi on the Hitachi 917. Based on the correlation study with this method, the fructosamine values for the Master Lot were established. All subsequent lots are value assigned against the Master Lot on the SMART analyzer.
The Diazyme POC test utilizes a Calibration Radio Frequency Identification Card (RFID) card that is programmed with a lot specific calibration curve and is supplied in each kit. RFID cards are programmed at the manufacturer site and are subject to the same quality control checks as the reagents and controls. The calibration curve is stable until the printed expiration date.
To construct the Diazyme GSP RFID card calibration curve, 2 levels of calibrators used in the predicate device (k110188) are tested with the Diazyme GSP POC Test Kit reagents on more than one SMART analyzer to obtain the rate of absorbance change. The calibrator value and the rate absorbance change are programmed into the RFID cards.
The Diazyme GSP Control Set (previously cleared under k042193) is recommended for use with this device.
d. Detection limit:
The Limit of Blank, Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantitation of the Diazyme GSP POC Test kit were determined according to CLSI EP17-A in the following manner:
To calculate the Limit of Blank (LoB) of the Diazyme GSP POC Test kit, a blank sample (water) was tested with 20 replicates daily for three days. LOB was calculated as the mean of the $57^{\text{th}}$ and $58^{\text{th}}$ highest values for the blank samples. Based upon the results, the sponsor claims a LoB=12 $\mu$mol/L.
6
{6}
To calculate the Limit of Detection (LoD) of the Diazyme GSP POC Test kit, five low samples $(0 - 33\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L})$ were tested in replicates of four over three days. $\mathrm{LoD = LoB + (1.645*SD}$ of Low samples). Based upon the results, the sponsor claims a LoD of $29.9~\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ .
To calculate the Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of the Diazyme GSP POC Test kit, 5 serum samples were prepared with GSP values at targeted concentrations (39.4 to $251.4\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ were analyzed. Each serum sample was assayed on five separate runs with eight replicates per run. Based upon the results, the sponsor claims a LoQ of 61 $\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ .
The claimed measuring range is 61-1348 $\mu$ mol/L based on linearity.
The sponsor recommends that all samples $>1300~\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ be diluted with saline and a 1:1 dilution be performed. In order to support this procedure, the sponsor provided a dilution study in which 3 serum samples were spiked and then diluted 1:1 with saline and analyzed on the SMART analyzer using the Diazyme GSP POC test. Samples ranged from $1057 - 1203~\mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ and $\%$ Recovery was $97 - 102\%$
# e. Analytical specificity:
The level of interference from substances normally present in serum was determined by testing two GSP serum samples ( $\sim 225 \mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ and $\sim 550 \mu \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ ) spiked with various concentrations of the interferent. Test samples were then compared to a control sample (containing no interferent). The following substances produced less than $10\%$ deviation when tested at levels equal to the concentration listed below.
| Interference | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| Ascorbic Acid | 20 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin | 7.5 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin Conjugated | 5 mg/dL |
| Triglyceride | 1000 mg/dL |
| Glucose | 2400 mg/dL |
| Uric Acid | 35 mg/dL |
| Hemoglobin* | 100 mg/dL |
| Total Protein | 12 mg/dL |
