Intended Use
The Trinity Biotech Captia™ Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. This ELISA should be used for patients with signs and symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Equivocal or positive results must be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results are supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Device Description
The Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. This ELISA should only be used for patients with signs and symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Equivocal or positive results must be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results are supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgendorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. The Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA test is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Purified Borrelia burgdorferi antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Pretreated test sera is added to each well. If the antibodies are present that recognize the antigen, they will bind to the antigen in the well. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled anti-human IgM is added to each well. If antibody is present it will bind to the antibody attached to the antigen on the well. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is added to each well. If enzyme is present the substrate will undergo a color change. After an incubation period, the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically, producing an indirect measurement of specific antibody in the patient specimen.

No
The device description and performance studies detail a standard ELISA assay, which is a biochemical test, not an AI/ML-based system. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for detecting antibodies related to Lyme disease and provides diagnostic information, not therapy.

Yes

The device qualitatively detects IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi for the presumptive diagnosis of Lyme disease in patients with consistent signs and symptoms, and the results are used to support a clinical diagnosis. This aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device, which is used to identify or determine the presence of a disease or condition.

No

The device is an ELISA kit, which is a laboratory-based assay involving physical reagents and a microtiter plate, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the kit is for the "qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum." This indicates that the device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (serum) to provide information for diagnostic purposes (detecting antibodies related to Lyme disease).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test (ELISA) performed on human serum to detect specific antibodies. This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The inclusion of performance studies evaluating the device's performance using human serum samples further supports its classification as an IVD.

The core function of the device is to analyze a human biological sample (serum) outside of the body to provide information relevant to a potential diagnosis (Lyme disease). This is the defining characteristic of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Table 1 Trinity Biotech B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA Results

Because the equivocals would have been tested by immunoblotting in a 2-step test system, they were considered 1-step positive for purposes of calculating % agreement. The Trinity Biotech B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA demonstrated 47.6% (20/42) agreement with clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Study 2

One hundred seventy-six sera from patients of various ages and genders that were submitted to a large clinical lab for B. burgdorferi antibody testing were tested on the Trinity Biotech B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA and BioWhittaker LYME STAT. Any serum found positive or equivocal was tested by Mardx Diagnostics Western Blot on both IgG and IgM. The results are illustrated in Table 2.
