CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer Performance Study CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer Performance Study CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer A Performance Study Introduction Summary The CLINITEK Novus® Urine Chemistry Analyzer from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is a novel automated urinalysis system that employs trusted urine chemistry technology to deliver consistent, high-quality results. We are reporting studies that were undertaken to assess the correlation of CLINITEK Novus analyzer test results with results obtained using CLINITEK Atlas® analyzer. Results from all CLINITEK Novus analyzer tests validated excellent correlation with results determined using proven Siemens CLINITEK® urine chemistry systems (Table 1). Table 1: CLINITEK Novus analyzer test results: Correlation with CLINITEK Atlas analyzer analyzer results.

Offering a full spectrum of tests and a throughput of up to 240 samples per hour, the CLINITEK Novus analyzer streamlines workflow, simplifies routine urinalysis and STAT testing, and delivers consistent, highquality results, even during peak periods. Enhanced Software Improved Bilirubin Test Results CLINITEK Novus analyzer software employs a patentpending algorithm to decrease the number of false positive bilirubin results. Utilizing digital camera-based detection technology, this algorithm allows for the detection of true bilirubin, as confirmed by Ictotest® reflex testing. A study was conducted to verify the improved accuracy of bilirubin reporting. 270 samples were run on three CLINITEK Novus analyzers and one CLINITEK Atlas analyzer using one reagent lot. Results verified by Ictotest tablet confirmation demonstrated that compared to the CLINITEK Atlas analyzer, the CLINITEK Novus analyzer ⁑Sample population obtained from external vendors and multiple clinical laboratories in the USA and Japan. 15% of the population was contrived. Individual laboratory performance will vary depending upon sample population tested and may not match the results detailed above. 2 reduced the bilirubin false-positive rate by 7%,⁑ provided greater accuracy (fewer false positives with 0.4% false negatives) in routine bilirubin urinalysis and served to decrease the time and costs associated with potentially unnecessary follow-up bilirubin testing. Improved Color Correction Enhances CLINITEK Novus Analyzer Performance Improvement in the detection of highly-colored urine specimens with the CLINITEK Novus analyzer enhances test performance for bilirubin (see above), blood, ketone, glucose, leukocyte, nitrite, and urobilinogen. The color of the urine is measured and subtracted from the color of the reacted reagent pad to compensate for non-specific color changes of the pad. It should be noted that highlycolored urine samples typically represent less than 5% of all samples tested. Highly Sensitive Detection of Red Blood Cells in Specimens The Non-Hemolyzed Trace (NHT) reporting range of the CLINITEK Novus analyzer increases sensitivity of intact red blood cell (RBC) detection in urine. This assists in better matching what is seen during follow-up sedimentation analysis. The CLINITEK Novus analyzer can detect uneven/speckled samples: Interpretation of the standard deviation of color measurement between different areas of the test pad detects very low levels of non-hemolyzed cells in a sample. 3 CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer Performance Study Figure 1: CLINITEK Novus analyzer QC graphing with Levey-Jennings charts.

An additional 30 clinical samples were tested during urobilinogen evaluation. Clinical samples were obtained from Discovery Life Sciences, Inc., and the University of Louisville. Contrived samples were made by adding known levels of each analyte to negative urine samples. One replicate of each sample was tested on three CLINITEK Novus analyzers, two CLINITEK Atlas analyzers. Results for each analyte were summarized in frequency tables with Positive Agreement (Sensitivity), Negative Agreement (Specificity), and Percent Exact and Within One Block Agreement calculated for each analyte. Materials and Methods (Bilirubin) A separate study was undertaken to validate CLINITEK Novus analyzer bilirubin performance equivalency with the CLINITEK Atlas analyzer. A total of 270 samples were tested. Clinical samples were obtained from Discovery Life Sciences, Inc., the University of Louisville, and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics K.K. (Tokyo, Japan). Additional negative urine specimens were collected from Siemens employees and used to contrive a larger number of bilirubin-positive samples (15% of the sample population). One replicate of each sample was tested on three CLINITEK Novus analyzers and one CLINITEK Atlas analyzer. Ictotest reflex testing was employed to identify discrepant (false-positive) results. All discrepant results (Ictotestnegative, 35 results) were removed from the comparison between CLINITEK Novus and Atlas analyzers in order to measure true concordance. Results were compiled in frequency tables, and Positive Agreement (Sensitivity), Negative Agreement (Specificity), and Percent Exact and Within One Block Agreement calculated. Results The results for CLINITEK Novus analyzer performance compared to CLINITEK Atlas analyzer is listed in the frequency tables (following pages), with calculated rates of agreement and clinical performance. †Specific gravity, color, and clarity are also analyzed. 4 5 CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer Performance Study Blood Ketone Frequency table for CLINITEK Novus analyzer blood performance compared to CLINITEK Atlas analyzer: Within One Level (all) and Exact Agreement (appearing in boldface).

Bilirubin false positive results verses the CLINITEK Atlas analyzer were shown to be reduced by 7%, with 0.4% false negatives, using the new algorithm, and the ability to differentiate NHT from hemoglobin, results are a better clinical indicator of the abnormal presence of red blood cells in urine. Similarly, the improved color correction algorithm employed by the CLINITEK Novus analyzer reduces false-positive ketone results associated with highly-colored specimens: 93 trace results on the CLINITEK Atlas analyzer were reported as negative on the CLINITEK Novus analyzer. The greater accuracy of bilirubin reporting with CLINITEK Novus software allows for fewer false positives, decreasing the labor, time, and costs associated with potentially unnecessary reference reflex testing. The CLINITEK Novus analyzer was shown to generate results consistent with those obtained using proven Siemens reference analyzers. Taken together with the enhanced productivity, ease of use, extended functionality, and quality checks that the instrument supports, operators can be confident that the CLINITEK Novus analyzer can be used for reliable, high-quality urinalysis testing. Note: This White Paper is based on results from an internal study conducted at the Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics facility in Elkhart, Indiana, U.S. This study was conducted using Version 1.1 of the CLINITEK Novus software. 10 11
