ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The objective of this evaluation was to determine the analytical and clinical performance of the AFIAS point-of-care (POC) Tn-I Plus assay (Boditech Med Inc). DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
Limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), repeatability, reproducibility, inter- and intra-individual CV were evaluated using the CLSI guidelines. The study was also designed to estimate the 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) and to assess the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.RESULTS:
The precision repeatability CVs were 6.7-8.5% and reproducibility was 7.5-7.6%. The LOD and LOQ were consistent with the manufacturer's specified values of 0.010 ng/mL and 0.030 ng/mL, respectively. The 99th percentile URLs for males (aged 18-75 years) and females (aged 17-65 years) in serum were 0.0300 ng/mL (7.8% CV) and 0.0239 ng/mL (9.4% CV) respectively. Overall 99th percentile URL was 0.0296 ng/mL (8.2% CV). For the overall apparently healthy population, the percentage of measurable cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) values below the 99th percentile (i.e. 0.0296 ng/mL) and above the assay's LOD (= 0.010 ng/mL) was 47,68% (391/820 samples). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% with 95% CI (97% - 100%) and 95.2% with 95% CI (93.6% - 96.5%), respectively. No significant differences were observed for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between AFIAS Tn-I plus and Abbott ARCHITECT High Sensitive Troponin-I.CONCLUSION:
The clinical performance of AFIAS Tn-I Plus assay for AMI is comparable to the established Abbott ALINITY STAT High Sensitive Troponin-I. This assay is suitable for routine use in clinical laboratories.
