## Indications for Use

The Immunalysis Ethyl Alcohol Enzyme Assay is an in vitro diagnostic device for the quantitative analysis of ethyl alcohol (ethanol) in human urine, serum or plasma with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The measurement of ethanol is used for the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol intoxication and poisoning. This assay is calibrated against ethyl alcohol. This device is intended for prescription use only.

## Device Story

The Immunalysis Ethyl Alcohol Enzyme Assay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit used on automated clinical chemistry analyzers in laboratory settings. It measures ethanol concentration in human urine, serum, or plasma samples. The assay utilizes an enzymatic reaction where alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) oxidizes ethyl alcohol to acetaldehyde in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is reduced to NADH. The resulting change in absorbance is measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm; the absorbance change is directly proportional to the ethanol concentration in the sample. Healthcare providers use the quantitative output to diagnose and treat patients for alcohol intoxication or poisoning. The device provides rapid, automated results, facilitating clinical decision-making in emergency or toxicology contexts.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Precision studies (n=80 per concentration) evaluated repeatability and within-lab reproducibility across urine, serum, and plasma. Linearity/recovery studies confirmed a measuring range of 3-550 mg/dL (r² ≥ 0.999). Analytical specificity testing demonstrated no significant interference (bias <10%) from numerous drugs, endogenous compounds, or anticoagulants. Method comparison against the predicate device (n=80 urine, 76 serum, 64 plasma) showed strong correlation (r² ≥ 0.993). No clinical studies were performed.

## Technological Characteristics

Enzymatic assay using alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and NAD. Reagents stored at 2-8°C. Quantitative spectrophotometric measurement at 340 nm. Compatible with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. No specific materials of construction or software algorithm class (e.g., ML) specified; relies on standard clinical chemistry photometric analysis.

## Regulatory Identification

An alcohol test system is a device intented to measure alcohol (e.g., ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, etc.) in human body fluids (e.g., serum, whole blood, and urine). Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol intoxication and poisoning.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

To evaluate linearity and recovery, a study was conducted on the Beckman Coulter AU400e analyzer by measuring twelve levels of human urine, serum and plasma samples in triplicate, with the mean of the three measurements used to calculate the recovery. Drug-free human urine, serum and plasma were spiked with ethanol (EtOH) to prepare the high pool at approximately 550 mg/dL, which was confirmed by gas chromatography. The remainder of the samples were prepared by intermixing the high pool with a low pool to obtain concentrations across the measuring range. The linearity results are shown below:

The results of the linearity testing confirmed the sponsor’s claimed measuring range of $3 - 550\ \mathrm{mg/dL}$

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

### Traceability

The controls and calibrators are traceable to the NIST ethanol standard.

d. Detection limit:

Limit of Blank (LoB): LoB was evaluated by performing sixty (60) blank

{6}

measurements from unaltered drug free negative human urine, serum and plasma. The Limit of blank (LoB) for each matrix was calculated using two lots, and the higher calculated LoB of the two lots was used as the claimed LoB and to calculate the Limit of Detection (LoD). The claimed Limit of Blank (LoB) of the assay is  $0.481\mathrm{mg / dL}$  for urine,  $0.668\mathrm{mg / dL}$  for serum and  $0.652\mathrm{mg / dL}$  for plasma.

Limit of Detection (LoD): Four low level samples of each matrix containing concentrations in the range LoB to  $4 \times$  LoB were tested in replicates of five on two reagent lots over three days for a total of 60 replicates per lot. The LoD was calculated according to the formula  $\mathrm{LoD} = \mathrm{LoB} + (\mathrm{Cp} \times \mathrm{SD}_{\mathrm{L}})$  where Cp is derived from the 95th percentile of the standard Gaussian distribution and  $\mathrm{SD}_{\mathrm{L}}$  is the estimated standard deviation. The sponsor claims an LoD of  $1.3 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$  for urine,  $1.7 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$  for serum and  $1.7 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$  for plasma.

Limit of quantitation (LoQ): Four independent samples of each matrix spiked at low concentration of ethanol were measured in two runs in replicates of five for three days on two reagent lots for a total of 60 replicates per lot. The LoQ was calculated based on  $\% \mathrm{CV} \leq 10\%$  and Bias  $\leq 10\%$  and was determined to be  $2.9\mathrm{mg / dL}$  for urine, serum and plasma.

# e. Analytical specificity:

1. Interference studies were performed in accordance to CLSI EP07-A2. Test solutions for each compound were prepared by spiking the potential interfering compound into drug-free negative urine containing ethanol concentrations of  $10\mathrm{mg / dL}$  and  $100\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . The following substances at were tested at the indicated concentrations, and none of these compounds demonstrated significant interference (defined by the sponsor as  $\geq 10\%$  bias).

# 3. Interference - pH

To evaluate potential interference from the effect of urine pH, device performance in the quantitative mode was tested using a range of urine pH values. All test samples were prepared in drug-free urine containing EtOH at concentration of  $10\mathrm{mg / dL}$  and  $100\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . No interference was observed at urine pH values ranging from 3.0 to 11.0.

{14}

4. Interference - Specific Gravity

To evaluate potential interference from the specific gravity of urine, device performance in the quantitative mode was tested using a range of physiologically relevant urine specific gravity values. All test samples were prepared in drug free urine containing EtOH at concentration of  $10\mathrm{mg / dL}$  and  $100\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . No interference was observed at urine specific gravity values ranging from 1.000 to 1.030.

f. Assay cut-off:

Not applicable.

# 2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

A method comparison study was performed using unaltered clinical urine, serum and plasma samples. 80 urine samples, 76 serum samples and 64 plasma samples with concentrations covering the measuring range of candidate device were evaluated. Results were compared to the predicate device, the Lin-Zhi Ethyl Alcohol Enzymatic Assay, using linear regression and the study results are summarized in the table below.

|  Matrix | n | Slope | Intercept | r2  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Urine | 80 | 1.0284 | -2.7848 | 0.9964  |
|  Serum | 76 | 1.0067 | -5.8802 | 0.9948  |
|  Plasma | 64 | 1.0595 | -7.3902 | 0.9932  |
