Indications for Use
Immunoturbidometric assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of transferrin in human serum and plasma on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. A transferrin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the transferrin (an iron-binding and transporting serum protein) in serum and plasma. Measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia.
Device Story
Tina-quant Transferrin ver.2 is an in vitro diagnostic immunoturbidimetric assay for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The device utilizes rabbit anti-transferrin antibodies to react with transferrin in human serum or plasma samples, forming antigen/antibody complexes. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is added to accelerate the reaction and enhance sensitivity. The resulting agglutination is measured turbidimetrically. The assay is performed in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Results are provided to physicians to assist in diagnosing conditions related to iron metabolism, such as malnutrition, inflammation, infection, and anemia. The device provides quantitative measurements of transferrin levels, which are compared against reference ranges to inform clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via precision studies (intra-assay CV 1.0-2.7%, between-day CV 0.0-1.7%), analytical sensitivity (0.007-0.02 g/l), and method comparison against the predicate (Passing/Bablock regression: y = 0.01 + 0.97x, r = 0.990). Interference testing performed for icterus, hemolysis, lipemia, and rheumatoid factors.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoturbidimetric assay; reagents include rabbit anti-transferrin antibodies and PEG. Standardized against CRM 470/RPPHS. Designed for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Roche/Hitachi series). Measuring range 0.007-7.80 g/l depending on instrument. Software-controlled automated analysis.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of transferrin in human serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders (e.g., iron deficiency anemia).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A transferrin immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the transferrin (an iron-binding and transporting serum protein) in serum, plasma, and other body fluids. Measurement of transferrin levels aids in the diagnosis of malnutrition, acute inflammation, infection, and red blood cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia.

#### 510(k) Summary
#### SEP 1 9 2001
According to the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92, the following information Introduction provides sufficient detail to understand the basis for a determination of substantial equivalence. Submitter Roche Diagnostics Corporation name, address, 9115 Hague Road contact Indianapolis, IN 46250 (317) 576 - 3544 Contact Person: Sherri L. Coenen Date Prepared: July 26, 2001 Device Name Proprietary name: Tina-quant Transferrin ver.2 Common name: Transferrin Classification name: Transferrin immunological test system The Tina-quant Transferrin ver.2 Assay is based on the principle of Device Description immunological agglutination. Anti-transferrin antibodies react with the antigen in the sample to form an antigen/antibody complex. Following agglutination, this is measured turbidimetrically. Addition of PEG allows the
reaction to progress rapidly to the end point and increases sensitivity.
