PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Detailed instructions for programming reagent parameters are provided in
the Envoy 500 Operator manual and Envoy 500 Settings Table.
If the Envoy 500 Chemistry System is not pre-programmed, a HDL choles-
terol code must first be added before the parameters can be entered. On
the menu bar, select «Test  Test Directory.» A new window will open up
listing all the codes for the tests that are installed on the instrument. Click on
the «New Code» button, type «HDL» into the Code field and select «Save.»
To program the application parameters, check the box next to the code for
the HDL test, and select the «Parameters» button located at the bottom of
the window. To program standard information, click the «Standards» button
located at the bottom of the window.

 INTENDED USE
Envoy® 500 HDL Cholesterol Reagent is for the quantitative determina-
tion of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in serum and plasma
on Envoy 500 Series Analyzers.
SUMMARY
The principle role of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in lipid metabolism
is the uptake and transport of cholesterol from the peripheral tissues
to the liver through a process known as reverse cholesterol transport,
which is a proposed cardio-protective mechanism.
levels are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease
and coronary artery disease. Consequently the determination of serum
HDL-cholesterol is a useful tool for identifying high risk patients.
HDL-cholesterol results may also be indicative of various lipid disorders
such as diabetes mellitus and other liver and renal diseases.
HDL cholesterol is measured using a two step process.
Accelerator + CO + POD + DSBmT
Step 1:
HDL, LDL, VLDL, Chylomicrons
Non Reactive LDL, VLDL, Chylomicrons
Step 2:
HDL Specific Detergent
HDL-Cholesterol
CO + CE
HDL-Cholesterol + O Cholest-4-ene-3-one + H
2
2 H O + 4-Aminoantipyrine + DSBmT
2 2
Non HDL-esterified and free cholesterol are consumed by cholesterol
oxidase, peroxidase and DSBmT in step 1 yielding colorless products.
HDL cholesterol is unaffected. Reagent 2 contains cholesterol esterase,
a chromogenic coupler, and a detergent capable of selectively solubiliz-
ing the HDL cholesterol. In step 2, this reagent is added and the HDL
cholesterol reacts to produce a chromogen that absorbs at 578 nm.
The change in absorbance is proportional to the concentration of HDL
cholesterol in the sample.
This reaction scheme may be referred to as the Accelerator Selective
Detergent methodology.
REAGENTS
COMPOSITION
HDL Cholesterol Reagent 1 contains < 1,000 U/L cholesterol oxidase (E.
coli), < 1,300 ppg U/L peroxidase (horseradish), < 1 mmol/L disodium N, N-bis
(4-sulfobutyl)-m-toluidine, < 1 mmol/L accelerator, < 0.06% preser-
vative, < 3,000 U/L ascorbate oxidase (Curcubita), buffer, and other
ingredients. HDL Cholesterol Reagent 2 contains < 1,500 U/L choles-
terol esterase (Pseudomonas sp.), < 1 mmol/L 4-aminoantipyrine,
< 2% detergent, < 0.06% preservative, buffer, and other ingredients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- This reagent is for professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
- Take normal precautions and adhere to good laboratory practice.
- Use clean or single use laboratory equipment only to avoid contam-
inations.
- Dispose of contents in accordance with all local, state and federal
regulations.
- For more information, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available on
request for professional user.

PREPARATION
Both HDL Cholesterol Reagent 1 and HDL Cholesterol Reagent 2 are
ready for use as packaged.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
Store these reagents at 2 to 8 °C. Do not freeze. Unopened reagents are
stable to the expiration dates on the bottle labels.
Open reagents are stable for 28 days onboard the Envoy 500 Chemistry
System.
 SPECIMENS
SERUM AND PLASMA COLLECTION AND STORAGE
1 - Fasting serum is the preferred specimen. Fasting heparinized plasma is
Low HDL-cholesterol
also acceptable. Do not analyze whole blood. Collect specimens by veni-
puncture according to accepted clinical protocol. Patients should maintain
their usual diet for at least two weeks before blood collection. Blood should
be drawn after a 12 hour fast and after the subject has been sitting quietly
2 for at least 5 minutes. Separate the serum or plasma sample from the cells
within three hours of collection.
- Venipuncture should be performed prior to the administration of drugs. Of
particular note, venipuncture performed during an acetaminophen overdose
situation, when N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) an atypical meta-
bolic breakdown product of acetaminophen, may be present, may lead to
erroneously low HDL Cholesterol results. Venipuncture performed during or
immediately after administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a drug used to

treat acetaminophen overdose, or Metamizole may lead to erroneously low
HDL cholesterol results.

- For best results, HDL should be analyzed on the day of collection. HDL
