Intended Use

The ACTICLOT® dPT™ is intended for the qualitative determination of lupus anticoagulants (LA) in human plasma. This test is for in vitro diagnostic use.

Device Story

ACTICLOT® dPT™ is a professional-use in vitro diagnostic test kit for identifying lupus anticoagulants (LA) in human plasma. The kit utilizes a screening protocol (dPT Activator™ and LA Buffer™) and a confirmatory protocol (dPT Activator™ and LA Phospholipids™). Reagents are reconstituted and combined with citrated platelet-poor plasma; coagulation analyzers measure clot times. The principle relies on the difference in clotting times between the screening and confirmatory protocols to detect LA. The device is used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing LA, which is associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. The test is intended to be used as part of a multi-test diagnostic approach, as no single test identifies all LA-positive samples due to biochemical heterogeneity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and clinical method comparison studies were performed. Precision studies across multiple coagulation analyzers (ACL 300R, BCT, MLA 900C, STA Compact) showed intra-assay CVs within 3.8% and inter-assay CVs within 7.2%. Accuracy was evaluated in two studies comparing the subject device to the predicate, showing 87.1% to 90.7% agreement. Sensitivity was evaluated using 23 known LA-positive samples; the subject device identified 18/23 (78.3%) samples, matching the predicate's performance. Combining test results increased detection to 91.3%.

Technological Characteristics

Kit includes lyophilized reagents: dPT Activator™ (lipidated tissue factor and calcium), LA Buffer™, and LA Phospholipids™. Operates via coagulation analyzer instrumentation. Reagents are reconstituted prior to use. Stability: dPT Activator (24 hours at 18-25°C); LA Buffer/Phospholipids (10 days at 2-8°C or 18-25°C). No calibrators used.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the qualitative determination of lupus anticoagulants (LA) in human plasma for in vitro diagnostic use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A prothrombin time test is a device used as a general screening procedure for the detection of possible clotting factor deficiencies in the extrinsic coagulation pathway, which involves the reaction between coagulation factors III and VII, and to monitor patients receiving coumarin therapy (the administration of one of the coumarin anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).

(203) 602-2221 Page 4 of 7 {4}------------------------------------------------ ## Conclusion concerning the Precision Study: Precision data obtained from laboratory field tests and from testing at American Diagnostica Inc. show that ACTICLOT" dPT" and DVVest and DVV confirm are substantially equivalent. The precision data obtained from each instrument is substantially equivalent because the intra-assay CVs were within 3.8% and the inter-assay CVs were within 7.2%. The mean clotting times from the precision studies are shown for informational purposes only. Clotting times of the two comparative methods are not expected to be the same because both the predicate method and subject method have systematic bias''' based upon differences in mechanism of initiation of clot formation and instrument system bias in assessing clot time of each method. ## Method Comparison (accuracy) ACTICLOT* method comparison studies were performed at American Diagnostica, Inc. in Stamford, CT (Study 1) and at Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke, Fleurimont (Québec), Canada (Study 2). Patient samples were tested using ACTICLOT® dPT" and DVVtesst" and DVVconfirm®. The accuracy matrix of each study is displayed on TABLE 4 and TABLE 5. ## TABLE 4.

In Study 1, 49 out of 54 samples tested (90.7%) were in agreement. In Study 2, 81 out of 93 samples tested (87.1%) were in agreement. The accuracy or agreement of these two methods was between 87.1% and 90.7%. ## Sensitivity Studies: Twenty-three prescreened LA positive samples were tested at the Haemotology Department at Univeristy College London. UK with the predicate device, and a third commercially available aPTT schsitive I.A test (Dade" Actin' FSL Activated PTT Reagent). The test results are shown on TABLE 6. | | ACTICLOT® dPT™ a | DVVtest®/DVVconfirm® b | aPTT reagentb | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|------------------------|---------------| | Number of Samples<br>that Tested LA<br>Positive with One<br>LA Test / Number of<br>LA Positive Plasmas | 18/23 | 18/23 | 19/23 | | Percent LA Positive | 78.3% | 78.3% | 82.6% | TABLE 6. Percent LA Positive Test Results from each of Three LA Tests (a) Assays were performed using the ACL. 300R coagulation analyzer. (b) Assays were performed using the Sysmex CA-1500 coagulation analyzer. ## Conclusion Concerning Sensitivity: The London study shows that the sensitivity of ACTICLOT* dPT" and DVV1est" and DVVconfirm are substantially equivalent because the subject method identified and the predicate method identified 18 of the 23 LA positive samples. The third method was included for informational purposes. It is well known, in the haemostasis field, that no one LA test identifies all LA positive samples due to the biochemical heterogencity among lupus anticoagulants and the heterogeneity among LA test reagents 2. It is recommended that LA positive samples should be identified after testing with a combination of two or more LA tests 33. When the test results from these three methods were combined, 21 of the 23 LA positive samples were identified. The results from the combined tests are shown in TABLE 7. This increased the percent LA positive from 78.3% - 82.6% (with individual tests) to 91.3% when test results were combined. {6}------------------------------------------------ #### Percent LA Positive Test Results with Two or More LA Positive Tests from Three TABLE 7.
