(148 days)
The ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA is intended for the qualitative detection of Zika virus IgM antibodies in human sera for the presumptive clinical laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus infection. The assay is intended for use only in patients with clinical signs and symptoms consistent with Zika virus infection, and/or CDC Zika virus epidemiological criteria (e.g., history of residence in or travel to a geographic region with active Zika transmission at the time of travel, or other epidemiological criteria for which Zika virus testing may be indicated). Assay results are for the presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Zika virus (ZIKV). Positive results must be confirmed by following the latest CDC guidelines for the diagnosis of Zika virus infection.
Results of this test are intended to be used in conjunction with clinical observations. patient history, epidemiological information, and other laboratory evidence to make patient management decisions. Zika IgM levels are variable over the course of the infection, and may be detectable near day four post onset of symptoms and persist up to approximately 12 weeks following initial infection.
Negative results may be seen in specimens collected before day four post onset of symptoms or after the window of detectable IgM closes, and therefore do not preclude the possibility of Zika virus infection, past or present.
This assay is not indicated for testing blood or plasma donors.
The ZIKV Detect IgM Capture ELISA is a sandwich-type immunoassay. The test kit includes microtiter wells coated with anti-human IgM antibodies, ZIKV IgM Negative, and IgM Positive controls, ZIKV Sample Dilution Buffer, ZIKV Recombinant Antigen (Zika Ag) for IgM, Cross-reactive Control Antigen (CCA) for ZIKV IgM and normal cell antigens (NCA), secondary antibodies targeting the flavivirus antigens. The test kit also contains a HRPlabeled ZIK V-specific monoclonal antibody and tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate which are used to detect ZIKV IgM antibodies in the wells.
The ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA contains sufficient reagents for one plate of 96 wells (12 x 8 strips) for human IgM targeting Zika virus. This is sufficient for testing a maximum of 28 unknown samples for human IgM, with controls included in duplicate.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA, based on the provided text:
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided text doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a separate section with specific numerical targets like "Sensitivity > X%" or "Specificity > Y%." However, from the "Performance Characteristics" and "Clinical Studies" sections, we can infer the expected performance and compare it with the reported results. The FDA's conclusion that the device's information is "sufficient" to classify it implies that the presented performance met their internal, unstated acceptance criteria for a class II device with special controls.
Here's an inferred table based on the provided results:
| Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from study outcomes) | Reported Device Performance (ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA) |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
-
Analytical Reproducibility Study:
- Test Set Sample Size: 5 panel members (negative, high negative, low positive, moderate positive, re-test specimen). Each panel member had 270 replicates (3 replicates x 3 sites x 2 operators x 5 days x 3 kit lots / 3 kit lots). So, essentially 5 samples were tested extensively.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be laboratory-generated samples or well-characterized clinical samples for analytical studies.
-
Cross-Reactivity Studies (Table 2):
- Test Set Sample Size: 346 IgM positive serum specimens (across various microorganisms like Dengue, WNV, JE, Chikungunya, Malaria, Syphilis, etc.).
- Data Provenance: Sourced from patients with confirmed IgM antibodies to potentially cross-reactive microorganisms. Some specific details: Yellow Fever Vaccine recipients from Colombia during a 2016 Zika outbreak; convalescent phase samples for Dengue. Seems retrospective collection.
-
Interfering Substances Study:
- Test Set Sample Size: 3 low reactive human serum samples and 3 normal human serum samples per interfering substance.
- Data Provenance: Laboratory spiked samples.
-
Analytical Sensitivity (LOD) Study:
- Test Set Sample Size: Multiple dilutions of the WHO 1st International Standard for anti-Asian lineage Zika virus antibody (human) were tested in 20 replicates each.
- Data Provenance: WHO International Standard, a reference material.
-
Clinical Studies (Endemic and Non-Endemic Subjects):
- Test Set Sample Size: 807 unique samples were collected from 609 subjects.
- Endemic subjects: 353 samples.
- Non-endemic subjects: 256 samples.
- 744 samples had known Days Post Symptom Onset (PSO).
- Data Provenance: Collected from endemic sites (presumed positive and presumed negative) and non-endemic sites (presumed negative). Some subjects provided serial draws up to 84 days PSO. Some from Zika endemic areas provided paired acute/convalescent draws. This is a prospective collection for the vast majority, as samples were "collected from these subjects." Geographical origin of "endemic" and "non-endemic" sites is not explicitly mentioned by country, but they are clearly differentiated.
- Test Set Sample Size: 807 unique samples were collected from 609 subjects.
-
FDA Performance Panel:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the entire panel, but reported for the subsets analyzed: 24 Zika IgM Consensus Positive, 12 Negative, 10 West Nile positive, 10 Dengue positive.
- Data Provenance: Provided by the FDA from individuals infected with Zika, West Nile, or Dengue viruses at various stages of infection. This appears to be a retrospective collection of well-characterized samples.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications
The text does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for any of the studies.
- Clinical Studies (Endemic and Non-Endemic): The ground truth was established by a "composite reference method that included a validated Zika RT-PCR and CDC Zika MAC-ELISA." While these are laboratory tests, they would have been interpreted by trained laboratory professionals, but no specific expert count or qualification is given.
- FDA Performance Panel: Ground truth ("established consensus of sero-status") was established by the FDA. Again, specific expert details are omitted.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The text does not explicitly describe an adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1) for resolving discrepancies in ground truth determination for any of the studies.
- Clinical Studies: The "composite reference method" combining RT-PCR and CDC Zika MAC-ELISA implies a sequential or parallel testing strategy where results from both contribute to the final ground truth. It does not mention an expert adjudication process if these reference methods yielded conflicting results.
- FDA Performance Panel: The "established consensus of sero-status" suggests that a consensus process was used by the FDA, but the details of this process (e.g., how many readers/experts, how discrepancies were resolved) are not provided.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not done. This device is an ELISA assay, which is a laboratory diagnostic tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation system. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance does not apply here.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)
Yes, the performance presented in the "Analytical performance" and "Clinical studies" sections primarily reflects the standalone performance of the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA device. The results (e.g., PPA, NPA, cross-reactivity tables) are direct outputs of the assay based on its internal algorithms and interpretation rules described (Zika ISR, CCA/NCA ratio). While human operators perform the test and interpret the final result based on the device's guidelines, the performance metrics reported are for the device itself against the established ground truth, not for human interpretation aided by the device.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Analytical Sensitivity (LOD): World Health Organization (WHO) 1st International Standard for anti-Asian lineage Zika virus antibody (human) – a standardized reference material.
- Clinical Studies (Endemic and Non-Endemic): A composite reference method consisting of a validated Zika RT-PCR and CDC Zika MAC-ELISA. This is a combination of molecular (RT-PCR) and serological (MAC-ELISA) laboratory tests.
- FDA Performance Panel: "Established consensus of sero-status" – this implies a consensus derived from laboratory tests (Zika IgM, West Nile, Dengue).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly mention a separate "training set" for the device's development in the context of machine learning or AI models. Given that this is an ELISA assay, the concept of a training set as understood in AI/ML is not directly applicable.
However, the "Assay cut-off" section mentions:
- "The study included a testing of eight hundred thirty five (835) specimens that included 72 Zika positive, 198 other flavivirus positive, and 565 other disease positive and negative serum specimens. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to optimize for those cut-off values that maximize both sensitivity and specificity. A rudimentary bootstrap method was applied to minimize bias by any potential outliers in the sample set."
This process of optimizing cut-off values using 835 specimens could be considered analogous to a "training" or "calibration" phase for the device's interpretation algorithm, where the rules for classifying samples (e.g., Zika Ag OD450 > Threshold, Zika ISR > 1.90) were established.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
For the 835 specimens used to establish the assay cut-off:
- Ground Truth Establishment: The specimens were categorized as "Zika positive," "other flavivirus positive," and "other disease positive and negative." The method by which these 835 specimens were initially classified (i.e., their ground truth) is not explicitly detailed in the document. It is implied these were diagnostically confirmed samples (e.g., using reference assays like those used in the clinical studies), but the specific process is not described.

K. Test Principle:
The ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA is an enzyme linked capture immunoassay for the detection of human IgM antibodies targeting the ZIKV envelope glycoproteins. Polystyrene microtiter wells are pre-coated with polyclonal capture antibodies against human IgM. Positive Control, Negative Control, and unknown test samples are diluted into a sample dilution buffer and then added to the ELISA plate in appropriate locations. After incubation and washing, a subsequent Ready-To-Use (RTU) ZIKV antigen (Zika Ag), a Cross-reactive Control Antigen (CCA) and a Normal Cell Antigen (NCA) are added separately to each corresponding well. After incubation and washing, a Ready-To-Use secondary antibody solution is added to each well. After a subsequent incubation and wash steps, an enzyme conjugate solution comprising horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-mouse antibody is added to each well. After washing, wells are incubated with a tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate. An acidic Stop Solution is then added and the degree of enzymatic turnover is determined by the absorbance (optical density) measurement at 450 nanometers. If human IgM antibodies targeting the ZIKV envelope glycoproteins are present, a complex is formed consisting of the IgM, antigen, secondary antibody, and conjugate. If IgM antibodies targeting the ZIKV envelope glycoproteins are not present, then the antigen, antibody, and conjugate are washed away. The analysis of the results incorporates both the raw OD450 values and the ratios that compare the reactivity of a specimen with a given antigen in order to properly categorize the sample.
Interpretation of Test Results includes the following steps:
- Ensure that the QC Criteria are met.
- Determine the Threshold Zika Ag OD450 ●
- Calculate the Zika ISR value and CCA/NCA ratio for each specimen ●
The definitions of relevant terms used for the interpretation are described below:
{3}------------------------------------------------
DEFINITIONS
Zika Ag OD450: This is the raw OD450 value obtained with a specimen using the Zika Antigen. CCA OD450: This is the raw OD450 value obtained with a specimen using the Cross-reactive Control Antigen (CCA). NCA OD450: This is the raw OD450 value obtained with a specimen using the Normal Cell Antigen (NCA). Zika ISR: This is the ratio of the Zika Ag OD450 to the CCA OD450. That is, Zika ISR = Zika Ag OD450 ÷ CCA OD450. CCA/NCA ratio: This is the ratio of the CCA OD450 to the NCA OD450. That is, CCA OD450 = NCA OD450. Threshold Zika Ag OD450: This is equal to 0.130 + the average OD450 value of the Negative Control with the Zika Antigen.
Interpretation of patient specimens:
-
- Reactive for Zika IgM antibodies: If the specimen has a Zika Ag OD450 > Threshold Zika Ag OD450 AND Zika ISR value > 1.90, then the specimen is considered Presumptive Zika Positive and the interpretation is completed for the specimen.
-
- Retest: If the specimen has a Zika Ag OD450 ≥ Threshold Zika Ag OD450 AND 1.50 < Zika ISR < 1.90, then the sample must be retested in duplicate. The average retest value (OD, Zika ISR and CCA / NCA ratio) should then be considered the final value. Upon retesting, if the specimen has a Zika Ag OD450 > Threshold Zika Ag OD450 AND Zika ISR value ≥ 1.70, then the specimen is considered Presumptive Zika Positive and the interpretation is completed for this specimen. If the specimen has a Zika Ag OD450 < Threshold Zika Ag OD450 OR Zika ISR value < 1.70 upon retesting, proceed with Steps (6) and (7) for further analysis.
-
- Reactive for other Flavivirus IgM antibodies: If the specimen is NOT Presumptive Zika Positive, evaluate the CCA/NCA ratio. If the CCA/NCA ratio is ≥ 5.00, then the specimen is considered Presumptive Other Flavivirus Positive (non-Zika) and the interpretation is completed for this specimen.
-
- Negative for Zika IgM antibodies: If the specimen is NOT Presumptive Zika Positive and NOT Presumptive Other Flavivirus Positive (non-Zika)), the specimen is considered Negative. Negative results with specimens whose Zika Ag OD are ≥ Threshold Zika Ag OD450 and that have moderate to high values for CCA (OD450 values from 0.150 - 0.600) are recommended to undergo follow-up testing.

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The reproducibility study of the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA was performed at three sites by two opeartors at each site for 5 separate days. Each operator ran one blinded panel of specimens in triplicate on each day. In addition, three lots of ZIK V Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA kits were provided for each site. For each lot of ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA, a total of 3 replicates x 3 sites x 2 operators x 5 days = 90 total replicates were performed for each panel member. Three lots of kits were used in this study. A panel consisting of five samples, including a 'negative', 'high negative', 'low positive,' 'moderate positive,' and a 'retest' specimen, were tested in this study. The ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA's total precision %CV (from the "total" standard deviation) for the ISR values ranged from 13.0% - 29.6%, depending upon the sample. The results for reproducibility are presented in Table 1 below.

Table 2. Cross-reactivity of the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA
"Dengue specimens included Dengue-1 (n = 10), Dengue-2 (n = 9), Dengue-3 (n = 10) and Dengue-4 (n = 10). Serotypes were confirmed with acute phase samples but IgM seropositivity was confirmed with convalescent phase sample draws. The ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA was performed with the convalescent phase sample draw.
*The following number of ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA Zika Positive specimens also tested as Zika Positive with the CDC Zika MAC-ELISA: 1 Dengue specimen, 1 Yellow Fever Vaccine recipient [an additional 2 specimens were Equivocal], 1 Malaria specimen, 1 Chikungunya specimen [an additional 1 specimen was Equivocal], and 2 HAMA specimens. The West Nile Virus, Lyme, and 3 Chikungunya
{6}------------------------------------------------
specimens were negative with CDC Zika MAC-ELISA testing.
*The vellow fever vaccine recipients that were positive with the ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA were sourced from Colombia during a Zika virus outbreak in 2016.
°Chikungunya and HAMA specimens that tested Zika positive with ZIKV Detect™ 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA were tested with PRNT. Four Chikungunya and 2 HAMA specimens demonstrated neutralization activity with ZIKV PRNT90.
dTen (10) specimens are HSV-1 IgM positive; ten (10) specimens are HSV-2 IgM positive.
In addition, viral vector that was used to prepare Zika recombinant antigen was tested for cross-reactivity. Supernatants from cells transformed with a plasmid containing the same vector backbone as that used to generate Zika viral like particles (VLPs) show no reactivity against samples positive or negative for zika in ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA. The reactivity from these supernatants is comparable to the reactivity from cell supernatants without plasmid transformation (NCA).
Interfering Substances
Potentially interfering substances commonly occurring in serum were evaluated with the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA. Interfering substances included conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin (0.4 mg/mL), hemoglobin (20 mg/mL), albumin (60 mg/mL), cholesterol (5 mg/mL), triglycerides (30 mg/mL), human anti-murine antibody (HAMA) (~800 and ~80 ng/mL), and rheumatoid factor (2060 IU/mL). These interfering substances were spiked into low reactive (n=3) and normal human serum samples (n=3) to evaluate their impact on assay performance. Of the interfering substances tested, only very high levels of HAMA seemed to have a deleterious effect by decreasing Zika Ag reactivity, resulting in false negative results with the panel tested. At the lower HAMA concentration tested, no interference was observed. The results for interference are presented in Table 3 below.

f. Analytical Sensitivity:
The purpose of this study was to estimate the limit of detection (LOD) for the ZIK V Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA using the World Health Organization (WHO) 1st International Standard for anti-Asian lineage Zika virus antibody (human). Multiple dilutions of the antibody were tested in replicates of twenty. The lowest concentration at which >95% of replicates tested Presumptive Zika positive was considered the LOD. LOD was determined to be 225 IU/mL. The results for analytical sensitivity are presented in Table 4 below.

Clinical Studies:
Test samples were collected from endemic sites (both presumed positive and presumed negative samples) and from non-endemic sites (presumed negative samples). Of the 609 subjects, 31 provided serial draws after confirmation of zika infection. These subjects returned for serum collections up to five times, ranging from 0-84 days post symptoms onset. Another 50 subjects from zika endemic areas provided paired acute/convalescent draws. A total of 807 unique samples were collected from 609 subjects.
All samples were shipped to InBios for aliquoting and randomization and then distributed among three sites in the United States for testing using the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA. Test results with the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA were compared to a composite reference method that included a validated Zika RT-PCR and CDC Zika

O. Benefit/Risk Analysis:
Summary of the Assessment of Benefit
The benefit of the assay is the appropriate diagnosis of Zika virus infection. Appropriate diagnosis of Zika virus can be helpful, particularly in pregnant women with relevant epidemiologic exposure, with or without symptoms. While treatment for all patients with Zika virus infection is generally supportive care, the diagnosis of Zika virus infection can inform pregnant women of the potential increased risk of major central nervous system anomalies associated with congenital infection, even if the neonate's mother is asymptomatic. A positive or negative result will inform further clinical decisions and improve patient knowledge regarding the condition. A positive result may change patient management by leading a clinician to further evaluate the potential for central nervous
{13}------------------------------------------------
system anomalies via imaging, which can help a clinician and a pregnant woman make further decisions regarding the pregnancy. In addition, a positive result may prevent further tests and improper treatment of the patient, by providing a likely diagnosis.
If treatment for Zika virus infection becomes available in the future, a diagnosis using this assay will facilitate treatment. A negative result may inform a clinician and patient that a fetus is not at risk of congenital abnormalities due to Zika virus. Additionally, it will inform a clinician and patient that there are likely no further steps indicated specifically to manage Zika infection. This assay provides the added advantage of possibly detecting IgM antibodies to other flaviviruses, for which cross-reactivity has been reported in the literature.
Summary of the Assessment of Risk
The risks associated with the device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, failure to correctly interpret the test results, and failure to correctly operate the instrument.
Risks of a false positive test are improper patient management, including cessation of investigation for other disease processes, potentially missing the opportunity to properly treat the patient. A false positive test in a pregnant woman may result in anxiety for the patient and further testing, such as an ultrasound, as well as closer monitoring. It may also lead a woman and her clinician to make insufficiently informed decisions regarding the pregnancy.
Risks of a false negative test include improper patient management, including continuation of an etiology for a patient's symptoms, which usually consists of further history, physical examination, and testing.
In addition, the risk of a false negative test in a pregnant woman is missing the opportunity to inform the patient of the potential increased risk of major central nervous system anomalies associated with congenital infection. It may also preclude a woman and her clinician from making an informed decision regarding the pregnancy.
The risk of false test results is mitigated by inclusion of performance characteristics from analytical and clinical studies in the labeling, as well as the limiting statement in labeling that a negative test result does not preclude the possibility of Zika virus infection and that negative results may be seen in specimens collected before day four post onset of symptoms or after the window of detectable IgM closes.
The risks of failure to correctly interpret the results or to correctly operate the instrument are similar to the risks of false test results explained above.
These risks are mitigated by inclusion in the labeling of a detailed description of what the device detects, the specimen type for which testing is indicated, the type of results provided to the user in the intended use statement, as well as a detailed explanation of the interpretation of results. Any risks are further mitigated by inclusion of detailed
{14}------------------------------------------------
directions for use in the package insert, such that the operator can successfully use the instrument.
Summary of the Assessment of Benefit-Risk
General controls are insufficient to mitigate the risks associated with the device. However, the probable clinical benefits outweigh the potential risks for the proposed assay, considering the mitigations of the risks provided for in the special controls. The proposed assay labeling will facilitate accurate assay implementation and interpretation of results. The performance observed in the clinical trial suggests that errors will be uncommon and that the assay may provide substantial benefits to patients.
