What is it indicated for?
The ARCHITECT 2nd Generation Testosterone assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of testosterone in human serum and plasma.
Measurements of testosterone are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the male sex hormones (androgens), including primary and secondary hypogonadism, delayed or precocious puberty, impotence in males and, in females, hirsutism (excessive hair) and virilization (masculinization) due to tumors, polycystic ovaries, and adrenogenital syndromes.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
