Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Advia Centaur TSH is a radioimmunoassay device for measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in serum or plasma. It employs chemiluminescent technology to quantify TSH concentrations, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and pituitary dysfunction.
This device is intended for use in clinical chemistry laboratories and is supplied as a reusable system with single-use reagents. It operates under non-invasive conditions and does not require MRI compatibility considerations. The system is authorized under FDA 510K clearance and IVDR compliance, with regulatory classification as a Class II device (862.1690). Storage and handling follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure reagent stability and analytical performance.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What types of samples can the Advia Centaur TSH device analyze, and how does it measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels?
The Advia Centaur TSH device is designed to measure TSH levels specifically in serum or plasma samples. It uses chemiluminescent technology—a highly sensitive method where light emission is proportional to the TSH concentration—to quantify TSH accurately. This aids in diagnosing and monitoring thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and pituitary dysfunction.
Is the Advia Centaur TSH system reusable, and if so, how are the single-use components handled?
Yes, the Advia Centaur TSH system itself is reusable, but it requires single-use reagents for each test. This design ensures consistency and sterility per manufacturer guidelines, preventing cross-contamination between samples while maintaining analytical performance.
What regulatory pathways does the Advia Centaur TSH follow, and what classification does it hold?
The device is authorized under FDA 510K clearance (K141999) and complies with the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). It is classified as a Class II medical device under the regulatory category 862.1690, indicating it has moderate risk and requires specific validation for safety and performance.
Are there specific storage or handling requirements for the reagents to ensure their stability and accuracy?
While the exact storage conditions aren’t detailed in the data, the manufacturer’s guidelines must be followed to maintain reagent stability and analytical performance. This typically includes controlled temperature, protection from light, and proper sealing to prevent degradation before use.
