Intended Use
For the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of human antibodies to Sm nuclear antigen in human serum by enzyme immunoassay. For manual use, or for use with the HyPrep System Plus. In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only.
Device Story
SeraQuest Anti-Sm is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting IgG antibodies against Sm nuclear antigen in human serum. The device uses microwells coated with Sm antigen; diluted patient samples are incubated, allowing anti-Sm antibodies to bind. After washing, an enzyme-labeled goat anti-human IgG conjugate is added; if anti-Sm IgG is present, the conjugate binds. A substrate (p-Nitrophenyl phosphate) is added, converting to a yellow end-product in the presence of the enzyme. The reaction is measured photometrically at 405 nm. The test is performed at room temperature with three 30-minute incubation periods. It is intended for use in clinical laboratories, either manually or with the HyPrep System Plus. Results are reported as Index values based on an in-house standard. The assay aids clinicians in diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by identifying specific autoantibodies.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared SeraQuest Anti-Sm to the Shield Diastat Anti-Sm test using 236 serum specimens. Results showed 10 positive and 207 negative in both tests. Relative sensitivity was 90.9% (95% CI: 73.9-100) and relative specificity was 93.2% (95% CI: 89.9-96.5). Overall agreement was 93.1% (95% CI: 89.9-96.4).
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) using plastic microwells. Antigen source: Calf Thymus. Detection principle: Photometric measurement at 405 nm. Enzyme: Alkaline phosphatase. Conjugate: Goat anti-human IgG. Substrate: p-Nitrophenyl phosphate. Stop reagent: 0.5 M Trisodium phosphate/Sodium Hydroxide. Manual or semi-automated operation (HyPrep System Plus).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Sm in human serum by enzyme immunoassay as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). For manual use or use with the HyPrep System Plus semi-automated fluid handler.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

#### Description:
Ine SeraQuest Anti-Sm test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against Sm nuclear antigen (Anti-Sm) , in human serum.
The Calibrators in the SeraQuest Anti-Sm test set have been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.
## Principle:
Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with Sm antibodies against Sm (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and draining, and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to Sm are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated. In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to a yellow end-product which is read photometrically at 405 nm.
#### Intended Use:
For the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of human antibodies to Sm nuclear antigen in human serum by enzyme immunoassay. For manual use, or for use with the HyPrep System Plus.
>r In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only.
