sample evaluation reagents and reference reagents is conducted and a total of 210 samples
with the same results as the evaluation reagent and the reference reagent. Of which 86 cases
are detected with abnormalities, 124 cases are detected normal and 10 cases with
inconsistent results. The two methods total compliance rate: 95.45%, 95%CI is [91.80%~
97.80%], positive compliance rate: 93.48%, 95%CI is [86.34% ~ 97.57%], negative
compliance rate: 96.88%,95%CI is [ 92.19%~97.80% ], kappa consistency coefficient k =
0.906, p = 0.000 <0.05. After 11 samples outside the linear range are excluded, the results
of 209 serum samples are statistically analyzed. The Spearman's correlation coefficient
between the reagent and the reference reagent is 0.982 and p=0. Linear regression is used to
estimate the results. The results showed a good linear relationship between the two methods.
The regression coefficient obtained is 1.051, the 95% confidence interval of the regression
coefficient is [1.023~1.079], and the intercept obtained is -0.111. The 95% confidence
interval for the intercept is [-0.629 ~ 0.408], and the linear regression equation is

point is 10 and the ratio of out-of-bounds points is 4.78%.
A total of 116 samples of homologous serum and plasma samples are tested by
evaluation reagents. After 8 samples outside the linear range are excluded, the results of
108 homologous samples are statistically analyzed. The Spearman correlation coefficient of
the statistical results is 0.994, p = 0; Linear regression is used to estimate the results and its
results showed a good linear relationship between the two types of samples. The regression
coefficient obtained is 1.123, the 95% confidence interval of the regression coefficient is
[1.099~1.148], and the intercepts obtained at the same time for -0.233, the 95% confidence
interval for the intercept is [--0.936~-0.070] and the linear regression equation is
y=1.123x-0.233. When the medical decision level is0.1mIU/L, the estimated expected bias
is -0.221, the expected bias is 95% confidence interval[-0.425~-0.016], and when the
medical decision level is 10mIU/L, estimated expected bias is 0.997, the expected bias.
95% confidence interval [0.792~1.202]. The bias at the medical decision level is within
12.5% of the allowable error. The results are analyzed by Bland-Altman, with a mean
difference of -0.138, a standard deviation of 1.064, a 95% cutoff value of [-2.223~1.946],
out-of-bounds point is 7 and the ratio of out-of-bounds points is 6.48%.
A total of 120samples of homologous serum and whole blood samples are tested by
evaluation reagents. After 9 samples outside the linear range are excluded, the results of 111
homologous samples are statistically analyzed. The Spearman correlation coefficient of the
statistical results is 0.989, p = 0; Linear regression is used to estimate the results and its
results showed a good linear relationship between the two types of samples. The regression
coefficient obtained is 1.120, the 95% confidence interval of the regression coefficient is
[1.088~1.152], and the intercepts obtained at the same time for -0.320, the 95% confidence
interval for the intercept is [-0.554~-0.086] and the linear regression equation is
y=1.120x-0.320. When the medical decision level is 0.1mIU/L, the estimated expected bias
is -0.308, the expected bias is 95% confidence interval[-0.565~-0.051], and when the
medical decision level is 10mIU/L, the estimated expected bias is 0.880, the expected bias.
95% confidence interval [0.623~1.137]. The bias at the medical decision level is within
12.5% of the allowable error. The results are analyzed by Bland-Altman, with a mean
difference of -0.076, a standard deviation of 1.354, a 95% cutoff value of [-2.730~2.578],
out-of-bounds point is 3 and the ratio of out-of-bounds points is 2.70%.

Conclusion:
Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co., Ltd.'s TSH Rapid Quantitative Test (fluorescent
immunochromatography) does not have a statistically significant difference from the test
results of the same product that has been approved for marketing, and has a high degree of
consistency, that is clinical application performance is equivalent. In addition, the
evaluation reagent also has equivalence in detecting homologous serum and plasma, whole
blood samples.
