Intended Use
The Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against cardiolipin in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to evaluate the thrombotic risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Device Description
The Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against cardiolipin in human serum or plasma. The wells of a microplate are coated with bovine cardiolipin antigen. Antibodies specific for cardiolipin present in the patient sample bind to the antigen. In a second step an enzyme labeled second antibody (Conjugate) binds to the antigenantibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled antigen-antibody sandwich complex. The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution. The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of Conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.

No
The device description and performance studies describe a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit, which relies on chemical reactions and colorimetric measurements, not AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No
The device aids in diagnosis and evaluates risk, but it does not treat or prevent a medical condition directly.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit is designed "to aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)."

No

The device is an enzyme immunoassay kit, which is a laboratory test involving physical reagents and a microplate, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against cardiolipin in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to evaluate the thrombotic risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)." This involves testing samples taken from the human body (serum or plasma) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis and risk assessment.
  • Device Description: The description details an "indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay" performed on "human serum or plasma." This further confirms that the testing is done on biological samples outside of the living organism.

These are key characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The comparability of the new and the old version Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies is supported by a data set including

  • . results obtained within a comparison study analyzing positive, equivocal and negative sera
  • . results obtained for externally defined Calibrators and Quality Assessment sera
  • results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population) .

The data show that the assay performs as expected from the medical literature. Differing results are probably due to the changed blocking procedure.

Intended Use Statement

The Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against cardiolipin in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and to evaluate the thrombotic risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

General Description of the Device

The Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against cardiolipin in serum or plasma.

Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (aCL) belong to the group of anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPL). aCL are considered to be of significant diagnostic relevance, as a correlation has been found between these antibodies and a tendency towards thromboses. This results in an increased incidence of venous/arterial thromboses (including apoplexy), thrombocytopenia, livedo reticularis, habitual abortion and neurological manifestations in aCL/LA-positive patients. Elevated levels of aCL may also be found in patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency or myocardial infarction. aPL play a direct role in the pathogenesis of APS.

Varelisa® Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies Test Principle

Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of cardiolipin IgG antibodies in human serum or plasma. The wells of a microplate are coated with bovine cardiolipin antigen. Antibodies specific for cardiolipin present in the patient sample bind to the antigen.

In a second step an enzyme labeled second antibody (Conjugate) binds to the antigenantibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled antigen-antibody sandwich complex.

The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution. The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of Conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.

Device Comparison

Varelisa Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies (the original/predicate device) and Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies (the new/modified device) both are indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassays for semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against Cardiolipin in serum or plasma.

Based on currently available data from the literature the measuring of these antibodies not only provides aid in the evaluation of the thrombotic risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, but also aids in the diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Thus the intended use of Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies was adapted to the current state of scientific knowledge.

The essential differences between both assays are the new choice of antigen supplier and a changed blocking procedure.

Important common features between old and new version are the nature of the antigen determining the specificity of the assay, Bovine Cardiolipin, and the presence of $2glycoprotein I in the blocking buffer.

Laboratory equivalence

The comparability of the new and the old version Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies is supported by a data set including

  • . results obtained within a comparison study analyzing positive, equivocal and negative sera
  • . results obtained for externally defined Calibrators and Quality Assessment sera
  • results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population) .

The data show that the assay performs as expected from the medical literature. Differing results are probably due to the changed blocking procedure.

In summary, all available data support that the new/modified device, Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG Antibodies Assay is substantially equivalent to the predicate/original device, Varelisa Cardiolipin (IgG) Antibodies Assay, and that the new/modified device performs according to state-of-the-art expectations.
