An enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for the detection of IgG antibodies to complexes formed by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) with ß2-glycoprotein I (ß2GPI) in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like disorders (antiphospholipid syndrome).
The IgG Anti-AtherOx Test Kit is an indirect ELISA detecting IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies. Diluted serum samples, calibrator(s), and controls are incubated in microwells coated with the oxLDL-ß2GPI complex. Incubation allows the IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody present in the samples to react with the immobilized antigen complex. After the removal of unbound serum proteins by washing, anti-human IgG antibodies, labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added forming complexes with the bound IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody. Following another washing step, the bound enzyme-antibody conjugate is assayed by the addition of a solution containing tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the chromogenic substrate. Color develops in the wells at an intensity proportional to the serum concentration of IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody. Results are obtained by reading the OD (optical density or absorbance) of each well in a spectrophotometer. Calibrator sera are provided, with the IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody concentration expressed in G Units. A log-log regression analysis is performed with calibrator values plotted against calibrator mean ODs. Controls and patient results are determined from the calibration curve.
Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria:
The document provided does not contain explicit "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance in the typical sense of metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or agreement thresholds against an established reference standard. Instead, the clinical testing section focuses on demonstrating agreement with a legally marketed predicate device (REAADS IgG Anti-Cardiolipin Test Kit) across various patient populations. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the observed agreement rates with the predicate, rather than set a-priori.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of the submission (demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device), the primary "acceptance criterion" appears to be sufficient agreement with the predicate device across different patient populations.
| Performance Metric (Implied Acceptance) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Agreement with Predicate Device (Overall) | 90.2% (404/448) |

Study Information:
-
Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: A total of 448 serum samples were tested:
- 205 from healthy control patients.
- 99 from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
- 143 from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The study appears to be retrospective as it uses "serum samples from" patients, implying they were collected prior to the study for testing.
- Test Set Sample Size: A total of 448 serum samples were tested:
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document does not state that experts were used to establish a "ground truth" for the test set. Instead, the device's performance is compared to a legally marketed predicate device (REAADS IgG Anti-Cardiolipin Test Kit). The predicate device itself serves as the reference for comparison, not an independent expert consensus.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- There is no mention of an adjudication method in the context of expert review or ground truth establishment. The comparison is directly between the new device and the predicate device.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- This is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device (ELISA test kit) for detecting antibodies in serum. It is not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device or a device involving human readers/interpreters in the presented study. Therefore, an MRMC study or evaluation of human reader improvement with AI assistance is not applicable to this submission.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This is an IVD test kit. The "standalone" performance is essentially what is presented in the study: the direct comparison of the assay's results against the predicate device. There is no human-in-the-loop component in the interpretation of the test results described here beyond the laboratory technician performing the assay and reading the ODs.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" (or reference standard for comparison) in this 510(k) submission is the performance of the REAADS IgG Anti-Cardiolipin Test Kit, a legally marketed predicate device. The clinical diagnoses of the patients (healthy controls, RA, SLE, APS) serve as classification for the samples, but the direct comparison is test-vs-test.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" for the purpose of machine learning or algorithm development. This is a traditional ELISA assay kit. The provided clinical study data (448 samples) represent the "test set" for performance evaluation, not a training set. Development and optimization of the assay would typically involve internal validation, but those details are not part of this summary in terms of a "training set" as understood in AI/ML contexts.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As there's no mention of a "training set" in the context of algorithm development, this question is not applicable. The development of the assay itself would have involved establishing specific assay parameters, but the mechanism for doing so isn't detailed as "ground truth establishment" for a training set.

Summary and Explanation a.
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is one of the most common causes of acquired hypercoagulability (thrombophilia) [1,2]. It is frequently diagnosed in the context of a systemic autoimmune disorder such as SLE (secondary APS), however, it may also occur in the absence of an obvious underlying disease (primary APS) [3]. APS is characterized by high titers of antiphospholipid antibodies with thromboembolic events of venous and arterial vasculatures, or with pregnancy morbidity (miscarriages and fetal loss). High titers of
Page 1 of 9
{1}------------------------------------------------
antiphospholipid antibodies in secondary APS increase the risk of thrombosis by at least 2-fold [2]. In both primary and secondary APS, recurrence rates of thrombosis up to 30% and mortality up to 10% in 10 years have been reported [4,5].
Antiphospholipid antibodies are a heterogeneous family of immunoglobulins [6]. Most of these antibodies do not directly recognize phospholipids but instead recognize phospholipid-binding plasma proteins such as B2GPI and prothrombin. BoGPI is the most relevant antigenic target for antiphospholipid antibodies clinically associated with thrombosis [7,8]. B2GPI-dependent anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies may be detected by ELISA tests using immobilized cardiolipin (CL) in the presence of B2GPI [9,10]. These antibodies also recognize ß2GPI immobilized on oxygenated microtiter plates but not when ß2GPI is immobilized on plain polystyrene plates [11]. These findings suggested that B2GPI-dependent aCL antibodies recognize an altered conformation of B2GPI when it is bound to negatively charged phospholipids.
Oxidative stress and oxLDL formation are common in patients with SLE and APS [12] suggesting an important relationship between lipid peroxidation and clotting activation (hypercoagulability). ß2GPI specifically binds to oxLDL [13,14]. OxLDL/B2GPI complexes have been characterized [15], demonstrated in patients with APS and SLE and implicated as pro-atherothrombotic autoantigens [16]. The physiologic relevance of IgG antibodies to oxLDL/B>GPI complexes was demonstrated in vitro by the enhanced macrophage uptake of IgG immune complexes containing oxLDL/B2GPI. The participation of macrophage Fcy receptors in the uptake of these complexes seems to be particularly important in the development of foam cells, atherosclerotic plaques and arterial thrombosis [13-15]. IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies in autoimmune patients may further accelerate the development of atherothrombosis [17,18].
Previously, IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies have been detected in SLE. systemic sclerosis (SSc) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. SLE and SSc patients had significantly higher anti-oxLDL/B>GPI antibody levels compared to healthy controls [18-20]. Also, in those studies RA patients had higher antibody levels than the controls but this difference was not statistically significant. IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies were significantly higher in SLE patient with APS compared to SLE controls without APS. Thus, the presence of circulating IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies seem to be etiologically important and a useful serologic marker for venous and arterial (atherothrombotic) risk in autoimmune patients [21-23].
b. Principle of the Test
This test is an indirect ELISA detecting IgG anti-oxLDL/B2GPI antibodies. Diluted serum samples, calibrator(s), and controls are incubated in microwells coated with the oxLDL-ß2GPI complex. Incubation allows the IgG anti-oxLDL-
{2}------------------------------------------------
B2GPI antibody present in the samples to react with the immobilized antigen complex. After the removal of unbound serum proteins by washing, anti-human IgG antibodies, labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added forming complexes with the bound IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody. Following another washing step, the bound enzyme-antibody conjugate is assayed by the addition of a solution containing tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the chromogenic substrate. Color develops in the wells at an intensity proportional to the serum concentration of IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody.
Results are obtained by reading the OD (optical density or absorbance) of each well in a spectrophotometer. Calibrator sera are provided, with the IgG antioxLDL-B2GPI antibody concentration expressed in G Units. A log-log regression analysis is performed with calibrator values plotted against calibrator mean ODs. Controls and patient results are determined from the calibration curve.

G. Summary of non - clinical testing [§807.92(b)(1)]
Analytical Sensitivity a.
Linearity 1.
The linear range of the IgG anti-AtherOx Test Kit was based on protocols specified in CLSI Guideline EP6-A "Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline" with an error goal of < 5 G units between the predicted and recovered values. A strongly-positive sample and a stripped serum pool were mixed at various fixed ratios to produce 11 evenly-spaced concentrations that were predicted to extend past the linear range of the assay. Evaluation of the data indicated that the linear range of the assay was 10 - 100 G units.
-
- Precision
The precision of the Corgenix IgG Anti-AtherOx Test Kit was assessed as specified in CLSI EP5-A2 Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods. Serum samples with concentrations spanning the range of the assay were tested in the Corgenix laboratory by 2 operators in duplicate on each of 20 days over 30 calendar days. One reagent lot was tested, and assays were calibrated each day.
- Precision
| Sample | MeanConcentration(G Units) | Reproducibilityas %CV | Within-LaboratoryPrecision as %CV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 9.6 | 3% | 13% |
| Med-Low | 20.2 | 4% | 12% |
| Med | 28.1 | 7% | 13% |
| Med-High | 38.4 | 5% | 12% |
| High | 76.8 | 4% | 10% |
3.
Limit of Blank (LOB)/Limit of Detection (LOD)
Limit of Blank and Limit of Detection were assessed according to CLSI Guideline EP17-A Protocols for Determination of Limits of Quantitation; Approved Guideline. The Limit of Blank (LoB) was defined nonparametrically.at the 95th percentile of the negative results at 6.1 G units. The Limit of Detection (LoD) was defined the lowest level where 5% or fewer of the observed measurements are below the LoB. Since none of the results for the positive data set were at 7.0 G units or below, so the LoD was set as 7 G units.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Interfering Substances
The materials in the following list were tested for their potential to interfere in measurements with the Anti-AtherOx Test Kit. The materials were added to five clinical samples with a range of IgG anti-oxLDL-B2GPI antibody concentrations up to the levels listed.
| Hemoglobin | 5 mg/mL |
|---|---|
| Triglycerides | 30 mg/mL |
| Conjugated Bilirubin | 0.2 mg/mL |
| Rheumatoid Factor | 500 units/mL |
