Test Principle: The methodology of the test system involves measurement of a $400\mathrm{MHz}$ proton NMR spectrum on a plasma or serum sample. The NMR spectra generated by the Vantera Clinical Analyzer can be used to simultaneously quantify total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B. The sample is diluted 1:2 with NMR Diluent 1. The NMR spectrum consists of multiple proton signals from the triglycerides, cholesteryl esters and free cholesterol present in chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL and HDL in the combined methylene and methyl region $(0.56 - 1.40\mathrm{ppm})$ . The NMR signals from these lipoproteins have distinctive frequencies and line shapes, and the amplitude of the NMR signal is proportional to the concentration. The quantitative results are generated based on a Partial Least Squares regression method using spectral information. # M. Performance Characteristics: # 1. Analytical performance: # a. Precision/Reproducibility: The precision performance of the Extended Lipid Panel Assay was evaluated following the recommendations in the CLSI EP5-A3 guideline. #1 Repeatability (Within-run precision) Repeatability was assessed using 3 levels of pooled serum samples, and tested in one run of 20 replicates on one instrument by one operator. The results are summarized below: | Analyte | Pool | Mean, (mg/dL) | SD | %CV | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Total cholesterol | Low | 159 | 2.6 | 1.6 | | | Medium | 196 | 2.6 | 1.3 | | | High | 276 | 2.6 | 0.9 | | Triglycerides | Low | 128 | 1.0 | 1.0 | | | Medium | 158 | 1.6 | 1.0 | | | High | 317 | 3.1 | 1.0 | | HDL cholesterol | Low | 37 | 0.9 | 2.4 | | | Medium | 50 | 0.8 | 1.6 | | | High | 91 | 1.2 | 1.3 | | Apolipoprotein B | Low | 77 | 0.9 | 1.2 | | | Medium | 106 | 1.1 | 1.1 | | | High | 134 | 1.4 | 1.1 | {5} #2 Within-laboratory precision Within-laboratory precision was assessed using 3 levels of pooled serum samples, and tested in 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day for 20 days for a total of 80 measurements per level. One operator conducted the study using one lot of reagents using one instrument. The results are summarized below: | Analyte | Pool | Mean, (mg/dL) | SD | %CV | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Total cholesterol | Low | 167 | 2.7 | 1.6 | | | Medium | 197 | 2.8 | 1.4 | | | High | 280 | 3.2 | 1.1 | | Triglycerides | Low | 131 | 1.8 | 1.4 | | | Medium | 161 | 1.9 | 1.2 | | | High | 320 | 3.1 | 1.0 | | HDL cholesterol | Low | 37 | 1.0 | 2.8 | | | Medium | 49 | 1.2 | 2.3 | | | High | 92 | 1.3 | 1.4 | | Apolipoprotein B | Low | 79 | 1.9 | 2.4 | | | Medium | 109 | 2.4 | 2.2 | | | High | 138 | 2.6 | 1.9 | # 3 Reproducibility A reproducibility study was performed at three intended use sites using 3 levels of pooled serum samples. At each site with one instrument and one operator, the samples were tested in 2 replicates per run, 6 runs per day for 5 days for a total of 60 measurements per level. Each site performed testing using the same three lots of reagents. The precision analysis used a mixed effects model with reagent lot, site/instrument/operator, day, run, and within-run as random effects. The results are summarized below. | | | | Between lot | | Between site | | Reproducibility | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Analyte | Pool | Mean, mg/dL | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | | TC | Low | 142 | 0 | 0 | 3.86 | 2.7% | 5.16 | 3.6% | | | Med | 214 | 0 | 0 | 2.71 | 1.3% | 4.78 | 2.1% | | | High | 316 | 0 | 0 | 4.03 | 1.3% | 6.58 | 2.1% | | TG | Low | 107 | 0 | 0 | 1.33 | 1.2% | 3.66 | 3.4% | | | Med | 170 | 0 | 0 | 1.82 | 1.1% | 5.14 | 3.0% | | | High | 296 | 0.49 | 0.2% | 0 | 0 | 6.16 | 2.1% | | HDL | Low | 36 | 0 | 0 | 0.80 | 2.2% | 1.66 | 4.6% | | | Med | 52 | 0.11 | 0.2% | 1.80 | 3.4% | 2.21 | 4.2% | | | High | 80 | 0.23 | 0.3% | 1.81 | 2.3% | 1.67 | 2.1% | | ApoB | Low | 85 | 0.38 | 0.4% | 4.96 | 5.8% | 5.73 | 6.7% | | | Med | 115 | 0.25 | 0.2% | 4.34 | 3.8% | 4.85 | 4.2% | | | High | 164 | 0 | 0 | 4.83 | 2.9% | 6.16 | 3.7% | {6} In some instances when analyzing the variance by mixed effects model the result was a negative number, and therefore the contribution was considered negligible and the variance set to 0. # b. Linearity/assay reportable range: A linearity study was conducted on the Extended Lipid Panel Assay following the recommendations in the CLSI EP06-A guideline. The linearity was assessed using pooled serum samples spanning the target analyte concentration range which were prepared by combining volumes from three pools; low pool, mid pool, and high pool. A total of 15 samples for total cholesterol, 13 samples for Apolipoprotein B, 17 samples for triglycerides, and 12 samples for HDL cholesterol were prepared for the linearity assessment. For each sample 4 replicates were tested by one operator using one instrument. The mean values of four replicates of each pool were compared to the expected target values to determine the deviation from linearity. For all samples the deviation from linearity was less than $10\%$ . The linear regression results are given in the table below: | Analyte | Slope | Intercept | R2 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Total cholesterol | 1.010 | -1.851 | 1.000 | | Triglycerides | 0.999 | -1.086 | 1.000 | | HDL cholesterol | 1.063 | -1.925 | 1.000 | | Apolipoprotein B | 0.985 | -1.668 | 0.999 | Based on these results, the sponsor concluded that the linearity data supported the claimed analytical measurement range for total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B: 66 to $868\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for total cholesterol 35 to $950\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for triglycerides 14 to $152\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for HDL cholesterol 35 to $366\mathrm{mg / dL}$ for apolipoprotein B c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): # Traceability: The Extended Lipid Panel Assay for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins B is traceable to internal instrument standards. The Extended Lipid Panel Assay is CRMLN certified for total cholesterol using serum samples. The total cholesterol assay is traceable to the National Reference System for Cholesterol. {7} d. Detection limit: Determination of the Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantification (LoQ) for the Extended Lipid Panel Assay were conducted following the recommendations in the CLSI EP17-A2 guideline. Limit of Blank: The LoB study followed a classical protocol and utilized 5 different pools of human serum albumin solution free of analyte. Each pool was tested in 4 replicates over a three day period using one instrument by one operator for a total 60 measurements. Using the parametric approach, LoB was derived from the $95^{\text{th}}$ percentile of a normal distribution. Limit of Detection: The LoD study followed a classical protocol and utilized 5 different serum pools which were diluted 20-fold using human serum albumin solution. Each pool was tested in 4 replicates per day on one instrument by one operator for three days for a total of 60 measurements. The data was analyzed to calculate the LoD using a parametric analysis recommended in the CLSI guideline EP17-A2. Limit of Quantification: The LoQ study followed an approach similar to the LoD study. Five 5 serum pools with low concentrations were tested in replicates of 4 over 3 days on one instrument and one operator for a total of 12 measurements per pool. The sponsor defined the LoQ as the lowest analyte concentration where the $\% \mathrm{CV}$ was $\leq 20\%$ . The detection limit results are summarized as follows: | Analyte | LoB | LoD | LoQ | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Total cholesterol, mg/dL | 18.9 | 22.2 | 23.5 | | Triglycerides, mg/dL | 11.9 | 13.8 | 15.2 | | HDL cholesterol, mg/dL | 11.3 | 12.9 | 12.9 | | Apolipoprotein B, mg/dL | 15.7 | 17.9 | 17.9 | The LoQ values support the sponsors claimed measurement ranges of: | Analyte | Measurement range | | --- | --- | | Total cholesterol | 66 - 868 mg/dL | | Triglycerides | 35 - 950 mg/dL | | HDL cholesterol | 14 - 152 mg/dL | | Apolipoprotein B | 35 - 366 mg/dL | {8} # e. Analytical specificity: Interference testing on the Extended Lipid Panel Assay was evaluated following the recommendations in the CLSI EP7-A2 guideline. Serum samples at two analyte concentrations near the medical decision concentrations were evaluated for each substance. The samples were divided into two aliquots: control with no added interferent and test with added interferent. Each sample was measured in 2 replicates. The study tested for possible interference from common endogenous substances, and exogenous substances such as medications or supplements likely to be used by the target patient population. The interferent concentrations were selected using the criteria recommended in CLSI EP7-A2. The following tables list the concentration of each substance at which no significant interference was detected; defined as a difference of less than or equal $\pm 10\%$ between the test sample and control. | Total cholesterol - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Exogenous Substances | | | Atorvastatin | 4.9 mg/dL | | Fenofibrate | 4.5 mg/dL | | Acetylsalicylic Acid | 66 mg/dL | | Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL | | Naproxen Sodium | 42 mg/dL | | Ibuprofen Sodium Salt | 59 mg/dL | | Hydrochlorothiazide | 0.6 mg/dL | | Metoprolol Tartrate | 1.5 mg/dL | | Nifedipine | 0.041 mg/dL | | Enalaprilat Dihydrate | 0.037 mg/dL | | Hydralazine | 19 mg/dL | | Metformin | 65 mg/dL | | Salicylic Acid | 61 mg/dL | | Clopidogrel | 18 mg/dL | | Furosemide | 6.3 mg/dL | | Glipizide | 0.22 mg/dL | | Heparin Sodium | 3035 mU/mL | | Isosorbide Dinitrate | 0.016 mg/dL | | Menhaden Oil | 241 mg/dL | | | | | Endogenous Substances | | | Bilirubin, unconjugated | 20 mg/dL | | Bilirubin, conjugated | 34 mg/dL | | Creatinine | 5.5 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 219 mg/dL | | Urea | 263 mg/dL | | Uric acid | 24 mg/dL | | Albumin | 5987 mg/dL | | Triglycerides | 500 mg/dL | {9} | Triglycerides - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Exogenous Substances | | | Atorvastatin | 4.9 mg/dL | | Fenofibrate | 4.5 mg/dL | | Acetylsalicylic Acid | 66 mg/dL | | Acetaminophen | 20 mg/dL | | Naproxen Sodium | 56 mg/dL | | Ibuprofen Sodium Salt | 29 mg/dL | | Hydrochlorothiazide | 0.65 mg/dL | | Metoprolol Tartrate | 1.5 mg/dL | | Nifedipine | 0.041 mg/dL | | Enalaprilat Dihydrate | 0.037 mg/dL | | Hydralazine | 19 mg/dL | | Metformin | 65 mg/dL | | Salicylic Acid | 61 mg/dL | | Clopidogrel | 18 mg/dL | | Furosemide | 6.3 mg/dL | | Glipizide | 0.22 mg/dL | | Heparin Sodium | 3035 mU/mL | | Isosorbide Dinitrate | 0.016 mg/dL | | Menhaden Oil | 241 mg/dL | | | | | Endogenous Substances | | | Bilirubin, unconjugated | 20 mg/dL | | Bilirubin, conjugated | 34 mg/dL | | Creatinine | 5.6 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 219 mg/dL | | Urea | 263 mg/dL | | Uric acid | 24 mg/dL | | Albumin | 5987 mg/dL | | HDL cholesterol - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Exogenous Substances | | | Atorvastatin | 4.9 mg/dL | | Fenofibrate | 4.6 mg/dL | | Acetylsalicylic Acid | 66 mg/dL | | Acetaminophen | 20.0 mg/dL | | Naproxen Sodium | 28 mg/dL | | Ibuprofen Sodium Salt | 44 mg/dL | | Hydrochlorothiazide | 0.65 mg/dL | | Metoprolol Tartrate | 1.5 mg/dL | | Nifedipine | 0.041 mg/dL | | Enalaprilat Dihydrate | 0.037 mg/dL | | Hydralazine | 19 mg/dL | {10} | HDL cholesterol - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Metformin | 65 mg/dL | | Salicylic Acid | 61 mg/dL | | Clopidogrel | 18 mg/dL | | Furosemide | 6.3 mg/dL | | Glipizide | 0.22 mg/dL | | Heparin Sodium | 3035 mU/mL | | Isosorbide Dinitrate | 0.016 mg/dL | | Menhaden Oil | 242 mg/dL | | | | | Endogenous Substances | | | Bilirubin, unconjugated | 20 mg/dL | | Bilirubin, conjugated | 34 mg/dL | | Creatinine | 5.6 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 219 mg/dL | | Urea | 263 mg/dL | | Uric acid | 24 mg/dL | | Albumin | 7493 mg/dL | | Triglycerides | 1135 mg/dL | | Apolipoprotein B - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Exogenous Substances | | | Atorvastatin | 4.9 mg/dL | | Fenofibrate | 4.5 mg/dL | | Acetylsalicylic Acid | 66 mg/dL | | Acetaminophen | 20.4 mg/dL | | Naproxen Sodium | 28 mg/dL | | Ibuprofen Sodium Salt | 44 mg/dL | | Hydrochlorothiazide | 0.65 mg/dL | | Metoprolol Tartrate | 1.5 mg/dL | | Nifedipine | 0.041 mg/dL | | Enalaprilat Dihydrate | 0.033 mg/dL | | Hydralazine | 19 mg/dL | | Metformin | 65 mg/dL | | Salicylic Acid | 61 mg/dL | | Clopidogrel | 9.5 mg/dL | | Furosemide | 6.3 mg/dL | | Glipizide | 0.23 mg/dL | | Heparin Sodium | 3035 mU/mL | | Isosorbide Dinitrate | 0.016 mg/dL | | Menhaden Oil | 241 mg/dL | | Acetylcysteine | 125 mg/dL | | Ampicillin | 6.1 mg/dL | | Ascorbic Acid | 6.2 mg/dL | {11} 12 | Apolipoprotein B - Substances tested | Highest concentration tested at which no significant interference was observed. | | --- | --- | | Calcium Dobesilate | 30 mg/dL | | Cyclosporine | 6.1 mg/dL | | Cefoxitin | 70 mg/dL | | Levodopa | 1.6 mg/dL | | Methyldopa | 1.6 mg/dL | | Metronidazole | 12 mg/dL | | Doxycycline | 3.1 mg/dL | | Rifampin (Rifampicin) | 34 mg/dL | | | | | Endogenous Substances | | | Bilirubin, unconjugated | 20 mg/dL | | Bilirubin, conjugated | 34 mg/dL | | Creatinine | 5.5 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 219 mg/dL | | Urea | 263 mg/dL | | Uric acid | 24 mg/dL | | Albumin | 5986 mg/dL | | Triglycerides | 633 mg/dL | f.
