Scientific Information Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier

Testing Technology Method:

Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay

Limit of Detection:

Less than or equal to 5.0 mIU/mL.

Accuracy and Precision:

The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.

Measuring Range:

20~500.0 U/mL

Validation-Active Information:

EQA: Yes
Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule.
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Test Accuracy and Precision:

The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.

The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.

In range results:

Healthy females are expected to have a value below 35 U/mL in the serum.

Out-of-range results:

Any value above 35 U/mL is considered abnormal. Those with elevated CA125 levels may be at risk for ovarian cancer.
