Device Story
ARCHITECT® STAT Myoglobin is a 2-step quantitative chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for use on the ARCHITECT® i System. Input: human serum or plasma samples. Process: sample combines with anti-myoglobin coated paramagnetic microparticles; incubation and washing; addition of anti-myoglobin acridinium conjugate; addition of pre-trigger and trigger solutions to induce chemiluminescence. Output: relative light units (RLUs) measured by the system to quantify myoglobin concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output assists clinicians in diagnosing myocardial infarction. Benefits include rapid, quantitative assessment of myoglobin levels to support timely cardiac diagnostic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies (sensitivity/specificity) were performed. Evidence consists of bench testing: precision (CV 3.2-6.3%), linearity (80-120% recovery), analytical sensitivity (<1.0 ng/mL), and interference testing (bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides, total protein, HAMA, RF). Method comparison against the predicate (n=238) showed a correlation coefficient of 0.989 and slope of 0.99.

L. Test Principle:
ARCHITECT® STAT MYO immunoassay uses two steps to determine the presence of myoglobin in human serum or plasma. The first step is combining the sample with the anti MYO coated paramagnetic particles which is followed by incubation and washing. In the second step, the anti MYO acridinium conjugate is added. The pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to produce a chemiluminescent reaction. This reaction is measured in relative light units (RLUs). The ARCHITECT® i System is an optical system that is capable of measuring the amount of myoglobin in a serum or plasma sample based on the RLUs.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Ten samples with analyte concentrations between 914 ng/mL and 1100.7 ng/mL were diluted 50 fold with Calibrator A to obtain the lower end of the detection. The diluted samples ranged between 21.8 to 1171.2 ng/mL. The dilution linearity of ARCHITECT® STAT MYO immunoassay met their acceptance criteria of +/- 20% of the undiluted MYO concentration with a mean of 117.7% recovery and ranged from 80.0% to 120%.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Purified human cardiac myoglobin reference material (primary reference) is a purchased product which is prepared by taking human heart tissue and mixing it in a buffer solution. The primary calibrator is then run on a commercially available assay to determine its concentration. Internal Secondary Reference Calibrators (master calibrators B-F) are prepared by taking the primary calibrator and gravimetrically adding it to calibrator diluent at appropriate target values which are assigned by a commercially available assay. The ARCHITECT STAT Myoglobin is matched within +/-2.5% to of the target concentration. The calibrator concentrations are:
| CAL A- 0.00 ng/mL | CAL D- 300.0 ng/mL |
| --- | --- |
| CAL B- 30.0 ng/mL | CAL E- 600.0 ng/mL |
| CAL C- 100.0 ng/mL | CAL F- 1200.0ng/mL |
Calibrator A contains TRIS buffer with protein (bovine) stabilizer.
Stability:
Calibrator stability studies were conducted (stress, open and closed vial) on three lots of calibrators from the ARCHITECT® STAT Myoglobin immunoassay. Storage of the calibrators at -10°C demonstrated stability of 8 weeks. The open vial stability demonstrated acceptable stability for 30 days at 2-8°C. Accelerated studies, along with real-time intended storage (-10°C) and real-time at intended thawed condition (2-8°C) confirm their dating of 12 months.
Sample stability:
The sample stability study evaluates the sample stability of the ARCHITECT® Stat MYO assay using Lithium Heparin and Serum Separator collection tubes. One reagent lot was used to calibrate one ARCHITECT® system. The storage conditions tested were: Room temperature ON-Board 1 hr, 3 hr and 8 hr; Refrigerated stability 2-8°C 24 hrs and 2-8°C 72 hrs; Freeze/Thaw stability – freeze for 24 hrs immediately after draw and 2-8°C 24 hrs after thaw; and frozen stability –
{6}
frozen 14 days and 30-33 days. Data was evaluated as the % recovery difference for each sample from baseline (time=0). Acceptance criteria are +/- 20% of the mean difference for each sample type. The sample stability for each type and storage condition was +/- 10 % with a range of -1.3% to 9.3%.
d. Detection limit:
The ARCHITECT® STAT Myoglobin analytical sensitivity is <1.0 ng/mL at the 95% level of confidence (36 runs and 10 replicates of Calibrator A and 4 replicates of Calibrator B per run). Analytical sensitivity is defined as the concentration at two standard deviations above the ARCHITECT® STAT Myoglobin calibrator A (0.0ng/mL) grand mean and represents the lowest concentration of Myoglobin that can be distinguished from zero. The calibration range is 0.0 to 1200.0 ng/mL. In the labeling, it is recommended that a single sample of all levels of myoglobin controls be tested to evaluate the assay calibration.
e. Analytical specificity:
Potentially cross-reactive substances were evaluated by spiking samples with different concentrations of myoglobin using NCCLS’s “EP7-A: Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry”. One reagent lot and one instrument was used to determine the interferences of bilirubin (20 mg/dL), hemoglobin (500 mg/dL), triglycerides (1000 mg/dL) and total protein (4 and 10 g/dL) using high and low interference levels. The % interference was evaluated using the equation:
$$
\% \text{ interference} = \frac{(\text{Test Conc. - Control Conc.})}{\text{Control Conc.}} \times 100
$$
The compounds appear to have no significant cross reactivity (<10%) with the ARCHITECT® STAT Myoglobin immunoassay and reflected values of between -1.9% and 9.8% percent interference.
A total of 10 sample pairs were tested for HAMA interference and 10 sample pairs were tested for RF interference using one reagent lot and one instrument system according to the guidelines from NCCLS EP7. Each sample was assayed five times and a mean concentration was used to calculate the % interference. The amount of interference for HAMA was less than 10% based on absolute values. The average absolute HAMA interference was 7.74% with a range of 3.63% to 11.86%. The amount of interference for RF was less than 15% based on absolute values. The average absolute RF interference was 12.60% with a range of 11.00% to 14.19%

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
238 serum and plasma samples were tested using both the Architect and the AxSYM myoglobin assays.
The Passing-Bablok regression analysis was conducted on the 238 plasma and serum samples. The Architect assay ranged from 7.6 to 1188.7 ng/mL and the AxSYM ranged from 7.6 to 1167.1 ng/mL. The regression analysis obtained a y-intercept of 2.88 (95% CI of 2.05 – 3.36), slope of 0.99 (95% of 0.97 to 1.01) and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.989.
b. Matrix comparison:
A serum and plasma comparison study was conducted to compare tube interference. Absolute interference from all tubes ranged from 2.1 to 4.6% for spiked donor samples and ranged from 1.8 to 5.2% for endogenous donor specimens. Actual interference from all tubes ranged from -4.6 to -1.0% for spiked donor specimens and from -4.6 to -0.3% for endogenous donor specimens. The acceptance criteria for interference is less than or equal to 10% interference.
