Indications for Use
The Diazyme high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) POC Test Kit is for the in vitro quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human venous whole blood on SMART analyzers. Measurement of CRP is of use for the detection and evaluation of inflammatory disorders and associated diseases, infection and tissue injury. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The Diazyme hsCRP POC control set is intended for use as quality controls for the Diazyme hsCRP POC Test Kit. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
The Diazyme hsCRP POC Test Kit is a point-of-care diagnostic system used in clinical settings (e.g., physician offices) by healthcare professionals (nurses, assistants) to measure CRP levels in human venous whole blood. The system utilizes a latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay; patient samples are mixed with anti-human CRP rabbit polyclonal antibody-coated latex particles. Antigen-antibody reactions cause agglutination, which is measured as an absorbance change at 700 nm on the Diazyme SMART analyzer. The analyzer calculates CRP concentration using a lot-specific calibration curve stored on an RFID card provided with the kit. Results assist clinicians in detecting and evaluating inflammatory disorders, infections, and tissue injuries. The device provides quantitative data to support clinical decision-making regarding patient inflammatory status.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A (internal and external POL sites); total imprecision CVs ranged from 2.12% to 8.17%. Linearity established from 0.47 mg/L to 23.0 mg/L. Analytical specificity confirmed against common endogenous/exogenous interferents. Method comparison (n=116 paired samples) against predicate (K103557) showed slope 0.9712, intercept -0.0870, and r=0.9836. Reference range verified in 150 healthy adults.

## L. Test Principle:
Diazyme’s hsCRP POC Test Kit is based on a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay on Diazyme’s SMART analyzer. (The SMART Analyzer was cleared under k092911). When an antigen-antibody reaction occurs between CRP in a sample and anti-CRP which has been sensitized to latex particles agglutination results. This agglutination is detected as an absorbance change (700 nm), with the magnitude of the change being proportional to the quantity of CRP in the sample. The instrument calculates the CRP concentration of patient specimen by use of a lot specific calibration curve that is stored in an RFID card provided with each hsCRP POC kit. The RFID card is inserted in the SMART analyzer and is needed for every single run.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A set of eleven levels of linearity materials were prepared by diluting a whole blood sample containing 28.0 mg/L of C Reactive Protein (CRP) with saline according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute EP6-A and were tested with the Diazyme C Reactive Protein POC Test in triplicate on the SMART Analyzer. Testing included samples with concentrations near the LoQ. Conclusion: Linearity data and the LOQ data support Analytical Measuring Range (AMR) of 0.47 mg/L to 23.00 mg/L.
The regression equation yielded slope of 0.996; intercept of -0.0065 and R² of 0.9999.
The package insert recommends diluting samples with CRP > 23.0 mg/L 1:1 with saline. To demonstrate validity, 3 whole blood samples (spiked) containing CRP near the upper detection limit of 26.0 mg/L CRP were diluted 1:1 with saline and tested on the SMART analyzer. Recoveries based on dilutions were all within 95% of the expected concentrations.
No high does hook effect was observed for samples with concentrations up to 200 ng/mL.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
## Calibrator
The instrument calculates the CRP concentration of patient specimen by use of a lot specific calibration curve that is stored in an RFID card provided with each hsCRP POC kit. The RFID card is inserted in the SMART analyzer and is needed for every single run.
The hsCRP POC assay calibration is traceable to Diazyme CRP calibrators (k103557) which are in turn traceable to IFCC International Reference Preparation for C Reactive Protein in the human serum reference material ERM®-DA472/IFCC.
## Control material
Control material target values are assigned based on the mean of replicate values on the SMART analyzer. The range is assigned as the mean +/- 15%. Stability protocols and criteria were included within the 510(k).
Stability testing was provided to support the claim of 1 month at 2-8 degrees C for opened vials, and 12 month shelf life. Real-time stability studies are ongoing.
## d. Detection limit:
LOB and LOD were calculated based on CLSI EP17-A: Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation using whole blood samples (except for true blanks which were phosphate buffered saline. Based on this analysis:
LoB was estimated as 0.055 mg/L. LoD was estimated as 0.15 mg/L.
To calculate the LoQ of the Diazyme hsCRP POC Test, five patient whole blood samples were diluted to concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L. The diluted samples were tested with the Diazyme hsCRP POC Test on SMART analyzers for 20 replicates over 5 days. At the claimed LoQ of 0.47 (CV observed in this evaluation was 17% and observed bias was 8.4%.
The sponsor’s claimed measuring range is 0.47 – 23 mg/L.
## e. Analytical specificity:
### Common endogenous substance interference
Potential interferents were evaluated using whole blood samples containing
7
{7}
"low" (near 1 mg/dL CRP) and "high" (4-5 mg/dL CRP) C Reactive Protein spiked with various concentrations of substances according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute EP7-A "Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry": dose-response guidelines. Each sample spiked with interference substances was tested in triplicates and compared to control samples without potential interferents.
The interference substances examined and their concentrations tested are listed in the following table:
| Compound tested | Maximum interferent concentration tested | Maximum interferent concentration tested/ or at which no significant* interference was observed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ascorbic acid | 176 mg/dL | 176 mg/dL |

| Hemoglobin | 20 g/dL | 20 g/dL |
| Rheumatoid Factor | 375 IU/mL | 250 IU/mL. |
Additional potential interferents were evaluated using whole blood samples containing concentrations of CRP below 1 mg/dL. Each sample spiked with interference substances was tested in triplicates and compared to control samples without potential interferents. Results are tabulated below:
| Compound tested | Maximum interferent concentration tested | Maximum interferent concentration tested/ or at which no significant* interference was observed |
