Intended Use
(1) The Elecsys Rubella IgG immunoassay is for the in vitro quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum and Li-heparin, K3-EDTA and sodium citrate plasma. This assay may be used as an aid in the assessment of immune status to rubella in individuals including women of childbearing age. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use or Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. (2) Elecsys PreciControl Rubella IgG is used for quality control of the Elecsys Rubella IgG immunoassay on the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Description
(1) The Elecsys Rubella IgG Immunoassay is a two-step sandwich immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. The Rubella IgG assay contains: a biotin labeled monoclonal antibody against human IgG, a ruthenium-labeled anti-Rubella antibody fragment , biotin- and ruthenium-labeled Rubella-antigens and a Rubella-like particle. A relationship exists between the concentration of the IgG antibody targets present in a patient sample and the level of signal count detected by the system. The IgG assay is quantitative and is standardized against WHO materials. Results are determined using a calibration curve that is generated specifically on each instrument by a 2 point calibration and a master curve provided with the reagent bar code. The test kit contains the human serum-based calibrators intended for use with the system. (2) The Elecsys Precicontrol Rubella IgG contains two levels of human serum with Rubella IgG antibodies.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard immunoassay technology and does not mention any AI or ML components. The results are determined using a calibration curve, which is a traditional method, not indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay used to determine IgG antibodies for rubella virus. It is used as an aid in assessing immune status, not for treating a condition or disease.

Yes

The device quantitatively determines IgG antibodies to rubella virus, which can "aid in the assessment of immune status to rubella." This information is used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay kit, which includes reagents and calibrators, and is intended for use on specific immunoassay analyzers. This involves physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the in vitro quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum and Li-heparin, K3-EDTA and sodium citrate plasma." The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based immunoassay that analyzes biological samples (serum and plasma) to detect and quantify specific antibodies.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing human samples and comparing the results to a predicate device, which is typical for IVD validation.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (Zeus Scientific Rubella IgG ELISA Test System) further confirms its classification as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory submission process for new IVDs.

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

US Routine Clinical Specimens and Acute/Recent Infection:
Negative Agreement: 64.0% (16/25) 42.5 - 82.0%
Positive Agreement: 98.1% (466/475) 96.4-99.1%

Banked Samples:
Negative Agreement: 96.6% (140/145) 92.1-98.9%
Positive Agreement: 84.0% (168/200) 78.2-88.8%

Samples Collected During a Rubella Outbreak:
Negative Agreement: 100% (10/10) 69.1-100.0%
Positive Agreement: 82.0% (50/61) 70.02-90.6%

Pregnant Women
Serum samples were collected from 150 pregnant women in the US and tested on the Elecsys and the reference assay. The Elecsys Rubella IgG showed 100 % agreement (95% CI: 97.57- 100%), with 150/150 positive tests..

Vaccinated Individuals:
Commercially available vaccination follow-up panels comprising 15 samples from 13 subjects were also tested. The final specimen from each panel yielded 100 % agreement (95% CI: 75.29%~100%) between the methods, with 13/13 positive test results.

Testing of Low Positive Samples
84 serum samples that gave low positive (10-20 IU/mL) on the reference assay were tested with the Elecsys Rubella IgG assay. The positive agreement was 80/84 or 95.2%. (88.25 - 98.69%)

§ 866.3510 Rubella virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Rubella virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rubella virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of rubella (German measles) or confirmation of a person's immune status from past infections or immunizations and provides epidemiological information on German measles. Newborns infected in the uterus with rubella virus may be born with multiple congenital defects (rubella syndrome).(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards':
