The Spectral West Nile virus IgM STATus™ test is a rapid immunochromatographic lateral flow assay that utilizes recombinant West Nile virus (WNV) antigen (E glycoprotein) for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to WNV in human serum or plasma (sodium heparin or sodium citrate). This test is for the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients having signs and symptoms of meningoencephalitis. Positive results must be confirmed by the PRNT (Plaque Neutralization Reduction Test), or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease. The Spectral test is not intended for point of care testing, home use or in screening blood donor samples.
A Simple and Rapid Immunoassay for the Qualitative Detection of West Nile Virus IgM Antibodies in Human Serum or Plasma. The Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ test employs solid-phase immunochromatographic assay technology to qualitatively detect the presence of WNV IgM antibodies in serum or plasma. When the specimen to be tested is dispensed into the sample well of the Spectral device, anti-WNV IgM in the sample will bind to the recombinant WNV antigen (envelop glycoprotein (E) of West Nile virus, NY99 strain) to form a tertiary complex with gold-labeled monoclonal murine antibody against flavivirus family glycoprotein E. This tertiary complex will migrate through reaction strip and be captured by goat anti-human IgM antibodies at the Test area. Excess, unreacted gold complex detector is captured by immobilized anti-mouse IgG antibodies at the Control area. A visible pinkish-purple horizontal band will appear in the Test area within 15 minutes following the addition of a sample if the level of the WNV IgM antibodies in the human serum sample is above the cut-off level. A pinkish-purple band in the Control area indicates that the test is working properly and such a band must always appear, irrespective of the WNV IgM levels, in order for the test to be valid.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set. Instead, it relies on established reference methods and the comparator predicate device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not mention an explicit adjudication method for the test set (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The "ground truth" was established by reference assays or clinical characterization of samples.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
There is no indication of a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or any assessment of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. This device is a diagnostic assay (rapid immunochromatographic test) designed for laboratory use, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation tool for human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study
Yes, a standalone performance study was conducted. The "Method Comparison" section explicitly tests the Spectral device against a comparator device (Focus West Nile Virus IgM Capture ELISA) and other reference methods like PRNT and CDC WNV IgM ELISA. The reported performance metrics (e.g., negative agreement, serological sensitivity) are measures of the algorithm's (device's) performance without human-in-the-loop intervention beyond reading the visible bands.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the different test sets was established using a combination of the following:
- Reference Devices/Assays:
- Comparator device: Focus West Nile Virus IgM Capture ELISA (for negative agreement studies).
- PRNT (Plaque Neutralization Reduction Test): Considered a gold standard for confirming WNV infection. Used for characterizing positive WNV samples at Study Site 4 and 5.
- CDC WNV IgM ELISA and IgG ELISA: Used as reference assays for characterizing WNV positive and negative samples at Study Site 4 and 5.
- Clinical Characterization: Samples at Study Site 4 were from patients with "suspected WNV infection based on clinical signs and symptoms." Samples at Study Site 5 were from patients with "clinical symptomology consistent with the West Nile virus infection."
- Pathogen Sero-positivity: For cross-reactivity studies, samples were characterized as sero-positive to other potentially cross-reactive pathogens (e.g., Herpes Simplex Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Syphilis, Epstein Barr Virus, ANA, Rheumatoid Factor, HIV, certain Encephalitis viruses, Dengue Virus, Hepatitis B/C, Legionella, Yellow Fever, E. coli infection).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide any information regarding a training set or its sample size. This is a rapid diagnostic test, and the reported studies focus on validation and performance characteristics as opposed to machine learning model development which would typically involve distinct training and test sets.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since no information on a training set is provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not available in the document.

Device Description
A Simple and Rapid Immunoassay for the Qualitative Detection of West Nile Virus IgM Antibodies in Human Serum or Plasma
Intended Use
STATus™ virus The Spectral West Nile test is a rapid immunochromatographic lateral flow assay that utilizes recombinant West Nile virus (WNV) antigen (E protein) for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to WNV in human serum or plasma (sodium heparin or sodium citrate). This test is for the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients having signs and symptoms of meningoencephalitis. Positive results must be confirmed by the PRNT (Plaque Neutralization Reduction Test), or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease. The Spectral test is not intended for point of care testing, home use or in screening blood donor samples.
{1}------------------------------------------------
Test Principle:
The Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ test (henceforth referred to as the Spectral device) employs solid-phase immunochromatographic assay technology to qualitatively detect the presence of WNV IgM antibodies in serum or plasma. When the specimen to be tested is dispensed into the sample well of the Spectral device, anti-WNV IgM in the sample will bind to the recombinant WNV antigen (envelop glycoprotein (E) of West Nile virus, NY99 strain) to form a tertiary complex with gold-labeled monoclonal murine antibody against flavivirus family glycoprotein E. This tertiary complex will migrate through reaction strip and be captured by goat anti-human IgM antibodies at the Test area. Excess, unreacted gold complex detector is captured by immobilized anti-mouse IgG antibodies at the Control area.
A visible pinkish-purple horizontal band will appear in the Test area within 15 minutes following the addition of a sample if the level of the WNV IgM antibodies in the human serum sample is above the cut-off level. A pinkish-purple band in the Control area indicates that the test is working properly and such a band must always appear, irrespective of the WNV IgM levels, in order for the test to be valid.

|---|---|---|
| Band absent | Band present | Negative |
| Band present | Band present | Positive* |
| Band present | Band absent | Invalid Test** |
| Band absent | Band absent | Invalid Test** |
Result Interpretation: Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ device
- Consider West Nile Virus infection: WNV IgM levels are at or above the cut-off level.
** Invalid test. Test must be repeated with a new Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ device.
Expected Results:
Serum specimens from a total of 346 presumably healthy individuals (n=67) or non-WNV ailments (n=279) including 61 febrile patients were tested with the Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ test (henceforth referred to as the Spectral device) in a general population from endemic regions of USA and Canada. The samples were about equally distributed between male (47.1%) and female (52.9%) populations. Positive results were observed and determined to be positive due to heterophile antibodies interferences.

Prevalence of WNV IgM and Efficacy of Spectral Device in Endemic Population
Performance Characteristics:
Reproducibility:
Reproducibility studies were performed using 15 patient serum samples at 3 study sites over a three day period. Each day a new lot was used and a different operator was employed. The 15 member reproducibility panel consisted of 6 clinical specimens with a mean index value 25% above the cutoff, 6 clinical specimens with a mean index value 15% below the cutoff, and 3 clinical specimens with a mean index value 6 times the cutoff level of a commercially available WNV IgM Capture ELISA device (comparator device). All sites and operators produced the expected result for all panel members on every day of testing.
Method Comparison
Study sites 1-3: Negative agreement of Spectral device with comparator in non-flavivirus IgM samples:
Studies were performed at three sites on clinical serum specimens collected prospectively from patients with a variety of non-flavivirus ailments (rash, febrile, bronchitis, diarrhea, drug, neuropathy, acute coronary syndrome etc) and from endemic normal populations either at emergency departments of hospitals or at inhouse collection. Site 1 represents an endemic region at the South-Western State of America; sites 2 and 3 represent endemic regions of South Eastern Provinces of Canada. These specimens were tested at individual sites concomitantly with the Spectral and a commercially available comparator device. The results are tabulated as "Pos" (positive), or "Neg" (negative). Indeterminate results produced by the comparator device are listed as equivocal ("Eqv")

Summary
The existing WNV IgM tests marketed in North America are all ELISA based tests (e.g. Focus Diagnostics West Nile Virus IgM Capture ELISA, InBios' West Nile Detect™ IgM Capture ELISA, Panbio WNV IgM capture ELISA, etc). These assays are multi-step procedures that require instrumentation to read the tests, need subsequent calculation for the interpretation of the test results and take more nece bussequent carbandi.or fertral WNV IgM STATus™ test, described here is a rapid format test that produces the results visibly in 15 minutes and is shown to be substantially equivalent to the commercially available device. Data presented above describes the assay performance characteristics and, safety and effectiveness of the Spectral rapid format device.
Conclusion:
The Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ test is a safe and effective device for the qualitative determination of WNV IgM antibodies in human serum and plasma as proven through performance characteristics and methods comparison with the predicate device and confirmed through the testing of both normal and clinical samples.
