Regarding specificity and accuracy; this is an exert from the flyer insert:
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
Sensitivity:
The limit of detection (LOD) of SPARK-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test is 4 ng/ml (10 nmol/l).
Detection Range:
The Detection Range of SPARK-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test with SPARK-D Reader is from 4 ng/ml (10 nmol/l) to 100 ng/ml (250 nmol/I).
Accuracy:
The accuracy of SPARK-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test was evaluated using human finger-
prick blood samples in comparison with a reference 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA assay using
corresponding serum samples. The comparison result showed a linear regression with slope
of 1.02 and Correlation Coefficient of 92%. In conclusion, SPARK-D test results of human
blood samples showed good agreement with the ELISA results of corresponding serum
samples.
The accuracy of SPARK-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test was also evaluated using 20 serum
samples in comparison with LC-MS/MS Assay (“Gold Standard” for 25-OH Vitamin D
measurement). The comparison result showed a linear regression with the slope of 0.97 and
Correlation Coefficient of 98%. In conclusion, SPARK-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test results
agree closely to the true values generated from LC-MS/MS assay.
Specificity:
30 Vitamin D free serum samples were tested and all showed negative results; suggesting 100% specificity.
Limitations:
No interference and cross reactivity were observed with Bilirubin, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C.
