Explanation: The device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit used to detect antibodies in serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of certain thrombotic disorders. It does not directly treat or alleviate a disease, but rather provides diagnostic information.

Yes

The device aids in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders related to Antiphospholipid Syndrome or occurring secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states the kit contains physical components such as microplate strips, calibrators, controls, enzyme-labeled conjugate, substrate, and buffers, indicating it is a hardware-based diagnostic kit, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the kit is for the "semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in serum or plasma." This involves testing biological samples (serum or plasma) outside of the body to obtain information about a person's health.
  • Diagnosis Aid: The intended use also states that the presence of these antibodies can be used "in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders." This clearly indicates the device is intended to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The device description details a kit containing reagents and components designed to perform a laboratory test on biological samples. This is characteristic of an IVD.

The information provided strongly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in serum or plasma.

The test kit contains microplate strips coated with human purified ß2glycoprotein I, calibrators, positive and negative controls, enzyme-labeled conjugate, substrate and substrate stop solution, buffered diluent and wash buffer.

Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of B2glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in human serum or plasma. The wells of a microplate are coated with human purified B2-glycoprotein I antigen. Antibodies specific for B2-glycoprotein I present in the patient sample bind to the antigen.

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

Summary of Performance Studies

The comparability of QUANTA LiteTM ß2 GPI IgA and Varelisa ß2-Glycoprotein I IgA 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.
  • · results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population).

The data show that the assay performs as expected from the medical literature. Furthermore the performance data show that the device is suitable for serum and plasma samples.

Identification. A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).(b)

Intended Use Statement

The Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in serum or plasma.

The presence of B2-glycoprotein I antibodies can be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders related to the primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome or occurring secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases.

General Description of the Device

The Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in serum or plasma.

The test kit contains microplate strips coated with human purified ß2glycoprotein I, calibrators, positive and negative controls, enzyme-labeled conjugate, substrate and substrate stop solution, buffered diluent and wash buffer.

Varelisa® ß2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies Test Principle

Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of B2glycoprotein I IgA antibodies in human serum or plasma. The wells of a microplate are coated with human purified B2-glycoprotein I antigen. Antibodies specific for B2-glycoprotein I present in the patient sample bind to the antigen.

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

Both assays (the predicate and the new device) are indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassays for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of IgA antibodies against B2-glycoprotein I in serum. Both assays recommend the same sample dilutions and use comparable enzyme-linked conjugates and antigens.

Based on currently available data from the literature the measuring of the antibodies against B2-glycoprotein I not only provides aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus or other autoimmune diseases, but also aids in the diagnosis of the primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Thus the intended use of Varelisa ß2-glycoprotein I

Antibodies Screen was adapted to the current state of scientific knowledge. The corresponding literature is cited in the directions for use.

A difference between both assays is that the INOVA QUANTA Lite™ ß2 GPI IgA is only recommended for use in serum specimen while the PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies is outlined for use with serum and plasma. Corresponding performance data underline the effectiveness of the assay with plasma as sample. Minor differences between both assays are restricted to contents of buffers and stop solution. The INOVA QUANTA Lite™ B2 GPI IgA assay is evaluated by using the decision point method. PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies assay uses an ODcutoff for evaluation. Corresponding performance data show the comparability of the results.

Laboratory equivalence

The comparability of QUANTA LiteTM ß2 GPI IgA and Varelisa ß2-Glycoprotein I IgA 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.
  • · results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population).

The data show that the assay performs as expected from the medical literature. Furthermore the performance data show that the device is suitable for serum and plasma samples.

In summary, all available data support that the new device, PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgA Antibodies Assay is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. INOVA OUANTA Lite™ ß2 GPI IgA Assay, and that the new device performs according to state-of-the-art expectations.
