PD CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Molecular in vitro diagnostics has enabled a significant progress in medicine. Further progress is expected by new technolo
20、gies analysing signatures of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites in human tissues and body fluids. However, the profiles and/or integrity of these molecules can change drastically during primary sample collection, transport, storage, and processing thus making the outcome from diagnostics or re
21、search unreliable or even impossible because the subsequent analytical assay will not determine the situation in the patient but an artificial profile generated during the pre-examination process. Therefore, a standardization of the entire process from primary sample collection to RNA analysis is ne
22、eded. Studies have been undertaken to determine the important influencing factors. This Technical Specification draws upon such work to codify and standardize the steps for formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue with regard to RNA analysis in what is referred to as the preanalytical phas
23、e. PD CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification gives recommendations for the handling, documentation and processing of FFPE tissue specimens intended for RNA analysis during the preanalytical phase before a molecular assay is performed. This Technical Specif
24、ication is applicable to molecular in vitro diagnostic examinations (e.g., in vitro diagnostic laboratories, laboratory customers, developers and manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics, institutions and commercial organizations performing biomedical research, biobanks, and regulatory authorities). Th
25、e formalin fixation and the paraffin embedding process lead to modifications of the RNA molecules, which can impact the validity and reliability of the analytical test results. Therefore, it is essential to take special measures to minimize the described profile changes and modifications within the
26、tissue for subsequent RNA analysis. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

39、 statements on primary sample collection and handling (including avoidance of cross contaminations) see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.4.4, 5.2.6. Consumables including kits shall be verified before use in examination (see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.3.2.3); EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.5.1.2 and 5.5.1.3 can also apply. As
40、all steps of a diagnostic workflow can influence the final analytical performance, the entire workflow comprising the preanalytical steps, including information on biomolecule stability and storage conditions, and analytical steps should be verified and validated (see EN ISO 15189). The stability of
41、 the specific quantitative RNA profile(s) of interest should be investigated throughout the entire preanalytical workflow prior to the development and implementation of an analytical test. Before tissues are fixed in standard buffered formalin solution, RNA profiles can change significantly dependin
42、g on the duration of warm and cold ischemia and the temperature before formalin fixation (e.g., gene induction, gene down regulation, RNA degradation). In addition, those changes can vary in tissues from different donors / patients. Generally, the longer the warm and cold ischemia times and the high
43、er the ambient temperature before fixation of the tissue specimen, the higher is the risk that changes in the RNA profile can occur. NOTE Intraoperative warm ischemia can result in more pronounced changes of RNA profiles than in postoperative cold ischemia. RNA profiles can also vary, depending on t
44、he origin and type of tissue, the underlying disease, the surgical procedure, drugs administered for anaesthesia or treatment of concomitant disease, and on the different environmental conditions after the tissue removal from the body. As warm ischemia cannot be easily standardized, its time and dur
45、ation should be documented. When it is not possible to avoid cold ischemia, its time of onset and duration shall be documented and the temperatures of the specimen transport containers surroundings should be documented. Where the specimen is transported to another facility for formalin fixation, the
46、 transport duration shall be documented and the ambient conditions should also be documented. In addition, formalin fixation causes modifications of biomolecules and leads to suboptimal performance of RNA extracted from FFPE tissues that should be considered in quality control and application of mol
47、ecular assays, especially in the context of gene expression studies (see 1, 2, 3). Assay optimization for FFPE tissues or the use of non-crosslinking alternatives to standard buffered formalin solution are options to minimize this issue for molecular analyses (see 4). Safety regulations on transport
48、 and handling shall be considered (see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.2.3 and 5.4.5 and ISO 15190). PD CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 CEN/TS 16827-1:2015 (E) 8 During the whole preanalytical workflow precautions shall be taken to avoid cross contamination between different samples. If a commercial product is not used in
49、 accordance with the manufacturers instructions, responsibility for its use and performance lies with the user. 5 Outside the laboratory 5.1 Primary tissue collection manual 5.1.1 Information about the primary sample donor The documentation should include, but is not limited to: a) the primary donor / patient ID, which can be in the form of a code; b) the health status of the primary sample donor (e.g., healthy, disease type, concomitant disease); c) the information about routine medical treatment and special treatment prior to tissue collec
