Intended Use
This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is indicated for the detection of altoantilian to the antigen Myeloperoxidase (MPO) in human serum. The presence of MPO antibodies, in combination with dinical observations and other serological tests, can aid in the dlagnosis of polyarterits, necrotizing glomerulonephritis and other conditions associated with elevated anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA).
Device Story
VIRGO pANCA Kit is an ELISA for detecting autoantibodies to myeloperoxidase (MPO) in human serum. Input: patient serum sample; process: serum antibodies bind to MPO-coated microwells; secondary HRP-conjugated antibody binds patient antibodies; TMB substrate added; HRP catalyzes color change; output: optical density (OD) measured by EIA plate reader. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians. Results aid physicians in diagnosing autoimmune-mediated vasculitides, polyarteritis, and necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Benefits: provides objective serological evidence to support clinical diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative study of 132 serum specimens (22 pANCA positive, 40 glomerulonephritis, 70 normal) against predicate device. Results: 100% relative sensitivity (61/61 positive samples) and 100% relative specificity (62/62 normal samples, with 8 discrepant samples confirmed negative by third-party IFA). Precision studies (inter-assay and intra-assay) showed acceptable CVs. Interference testing (lipemic, icteric, hemolytic) showed <15% variation.
Technological Characteristics
ELISA-based immunoassay. Components: MPO-coated microwell plates, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody, TMB substrate. Sensing principle: colorimetric optical density measurement. Connectivity: standalone (requires external EIA plate reader). Sterilization: N/A (in vitro diagnostic kit).
Indications for Use
Indicated for detection of MPO autoantibodies in human serum to aid in diagnosis of polyarteritis, necrotizing glomerulonephritis, and other conditions associated with elevated ANCA in patients presenting with clinical symptoms of autoimmune mediated vasculitides.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

### Description of Device 3.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the detection and measurement of autoantibodies to the antigen myeloperoxidase in human serum.
The ELISA methodology is commonly used for serum antibody evaluations. Purified MPO antigen has been attached to the inner surfaces of the microwell plate. During the initial incubation step, antibodies in patient serum bind specifically to the immobilized antigen and remain in place after a wash step.
A second antibody which is conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is used to recognize the "heavy + light" chain regions of the patient's antibodies remaining after the wash step. In the wells where the second antibody remains bound, the conjugated HRP catalyzes a color change in the substrate, tetramethyl benzidine (TMB). After the reaction is stopped, the color is read in an EIA Plate reader.
## 4. Intended Use of Device
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the detection and measurement of autoantibodies to the antigen myeloperoxidase in human serum. The test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of current or past autoimmune mediated vasculitides.
## 5.(A) Technological Characteristics
## Proposed Device
The VIRGO ® pANCA Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The device utilizes optical density as a measure of antibody presence, with an established cutoff between a positive and a negative reaction.
## Predicate Device
The Scimedx MPO ANTIBODY EIA is also an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The device utilizes optical density as a measure of antibody presence, with an established cutoff between a positive and a negative reaction.

## Comparison Testing
A total of 132 serum specimens (22 pANCA positive specimens taken from throughout the United States, 40 specimens from individuals demonstrating pauci-immune necrotizing and/or crescentic glomerulonephritis, and, 70 specimens from normal apparently healthy donors} were concurrently assayed by both the predicate device and the proposed device. The results are presented in the tables that follow:
| Table 1.1 pANCA Panel 1. n = 22<br>Predicate Device | | | |
|-----------------------------------------------------|----------|----------|-------|
| Proposed Device | Positive | Negative | Total |
| Positive | 21 | 0 | 21 |
| Negative | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Total | 21 | 1 | 22 |
Relative Sensitivity = 100.0 % {21/21}, 0.85 confidence interval = 84.5 % to 100 %
| Table 1.2 pANCA Panel 2. n = 40<br>Predicate Device | | | |
|-----------------------------------------------------|----------|----------|-------|
| Proposed Device | Positive | Negative | Total |
| Positive | 40 | 0 | 40 |
| Negative | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 40 | 0 | 40 |
Relative Sensitivity = 100.0 % {40/40}. 0.88 confidence interval = 91.2 % to 100 %
| Table 1.3 Normals, n = 70<br>Predicate Device | | | |
|-----------------------------------------------|----------|----------|-------|
| Proposed Device | Positive | Negative | Total |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Negative | 81 | 62 | 70 |
| Total | 8 | 62 | 70 |
Relative Specificity = 100 % {62/62}, 4.8 confidence interval = 94.2 % to 100 %
1. The eight discrepant samples were assayed with a third party IFA kit and were found to be negative.
The range of AU values for the positive specimens was 1.2 to 18. The average AU value for the normal specimens was 0.3 with a range of 0.1 to 0.8
{4}------------------------------------------------
## Interfering Substances
Libemic, icteric, and hemolytic samples were evaluated with the assay following NCCLS Document EP7-P Proposed Guideline, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry. The results indicate that there is no significant effect (<15 % variation) on the assay for samples with:
Hemoglobin concentration: Bilirubin concentration: Lipid concentration:
≤ 500 mg/dL < 20 maldL ≤ 3000 ma/dL
## Prozone
The VIRGO ® pANCA Kit was used to assay several high titered serum samples to determine if the kit would return unexpectedly low values. The results of this evaluation indicate that the kit gives appropriately high positive results with high titered sera.
### Conclusions
The results of the comparative studies support the claim that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and performs as an effective screening assay.
