This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test intended for the qualitative detection of Zika virus IgM antibodies to aid in the diagnosis of Zika virus infection. It provides information for diagnosis but does not treat or prevent disease.
Yes
The device is intended for the "qualitative detection of Zika virus IgM antibodies in human sera for the presumptive clinical laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus infection." It is used to aid in "patient management decisions" and to help identify individuals with "clinical signs and symptoms consistent with Zika virus infection." These functions clearly fall under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device is a laboratory-based immunoassay kit that includes physical reagents and components (microtiter wells, controls, buffers, antigens, antibodies, substrate) for detecting Zika virus IgM antibodies. It is not solely software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for the qualitative detection of Zika virus IgM antibodies in human sera for the presumptive clinical laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus infection." This clearly indicates that the device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (human sera) to provide information for the diagnosis of a disease (Zika virus infection).
- Device Description: The description details the components of the test kit, which are used to perform a laboratory test on human samples.
- Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is a "Clinical laboratory diagnosis," which is a typical setting for IVD use.
- Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted to evaluate the device's accuracy and reliability for its intended diagnostic purpose.
All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
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.

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 MAC-ELISA.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
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.
Cross Reactivity Studies:
Cross-reactivity of the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA was evaluated by testing specimens from patients with confirmed IgM antibodies to other microorganisms which could potentially cause false positive results. The study utilized a panel of IgM positive serum specimens sourced from patients who have been infected with potentially crossreactive microorganisms. Total sample size: 346.
Interfering Substances:
Potentially interfering substances commonly occurring in serum were evaluated with the ZIKV Detect 2.0 IgM Capture ELISA. These substances were spiked into low reactive (n=3) and normal human serum samples (n=3). Only very high levels of HAMA seemed to have a deleterious effect by decreasing Zika Ag reactivity, resulting in false negative results.
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. LOD was determined to be 225 IU/mL.
IgM Class Specificity:
The specificity for human IgM antibody was evaluated by testing Zika positive and negative samples, All Zika positive samples tested negative following the 5mM DTT treatment.
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.

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 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 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.

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.
P. Patient Perspectives:
This submission did not include specific information on patient perspectives for this device.
Q. Conclusion:
The information provided in this de novo submission is sufficient to classify this device into class II under regulation 21 CFR 866.3935. FDA believes that the special controls, in combination with the general controls, provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device type. The device is classified under the following:
Product Code: QFO
Device Type: Zika virus serological reagents
Class: II (special controls)
Regulation: 21 CFR 866.3935
- Identification. Zika virus serological reagents are in vitro diagnostic devices that consist (a) of antigens or antibodies for the detection of Zika virus or Zika antibodies in human specimens from individuals who have signs and symptoms consistent with Zika virus infection and/or epidemiological risk factors. The detection aids in the diagnosis of current or recent Zika virus infection or serological status. Negative results obtained with this test do not preclude the possibility of Zika virus infection, past or present. Positive results should be interpreted with consideration of other clinical information and laboratory findings and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
- (b) Classification: Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
- (1) The labeling required under 21 CFR 809.10(b) must include:
