Intended Use
The LIAISON® Rubella IgG uses chemiluminescencc immunoussay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens. It is intended for use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella in individuals including pregnant women. The performance of this device has not been established for cord blood, neonatal samples, or for any matrices other than human serum. Likewise, performance has not been established for population(s) of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals. The LIAISON® Rubella IgG Tri-Control kit is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay.
Device Description
The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to Rubella virus is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with Rubella antigen and a conjugate of mouse monoclonal antibody to human IgG linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, Rubella virus antibodies present in the calibrators, specimens or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with Rubella virus IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU).

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test intended to aid in the determination of immune status to rubella. It analyzes a sample for the presence of antibodies but does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as aiding in the "qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens" and "intended for use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella". These functions directly support diagnosing a person's immune status regarding rubella.

No

The device is a laboratory assay that uses chemiluminescence technology on a specific analyzer (LIAISON Analyzer) to detect antibodies in human serum. This involves physical reagents and a hardware analyzer, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens." This involves testing biological samples (human serum) outside of the body to gain information about a person's health status (immune status to rubella).
  • Device Description: The description details a "chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA)" method performed on a "LIAISON® Analyzer." This is a laboratory-based test using reagents and equipment to analyze a biological sample.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes various performance studies conducted on human serum specimens to evaluate the assay's accuracy and reliability in detecting rubella IgG antibodies. This is a standard requirement for IVD devices.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissues to detect diseases or other conditions. This device clearly fits that definition.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A total of 2806 prospectively collected frozen specimens were tested in the comparative study. Of these, 2608 were from non-selected subjects: 2159 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine rubella IgG testing and 449 pregnant women. Samples were divided randomly and the testing sites were blinded to samples' populations and comparator results prior to LIAISON® testing. Given the lack of statistical power to properly assess the pregnant women negative agreement an unbiased analysis of pre-selected samples was performed. Of the 2806 specimens, 198 negative pre-selected subjects were tested: 98 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine Rubella IgG testing and 100 pregnant women tested for Rubella antibodies as part of their routine pre-natal care. The rubella antibody testing performed by the laboratories was used to define the samples as negative. All of these specimens were tested for the presence of Rubella IgG antibodies using the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and a commercially available rubella chemiluminescence test kit. Three FDA cleared devices were chosen as the additional methods to test the predicate device equivocal samples. The classification of samples equivocal by the predicate device was reassigned based on the consensus of the combined 2 out of 3 results from the three ELISA results, i.e. a sample with concordant result by at least two of the three methods was defined following the consensus. If the results by the three methods were either discordant among themselves or concordant equivocal, the sample was classified as equivocal.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

INTENDED USE: The LIAISON Rubella IgG uses chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens. It is intended for use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella in individuals including pregnant women.

The performance of this device has not been established for cord blood, neonatal samples, or for any matrices other than human serum. Likewise, performance has not been established for population(s) of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals.

The LIAISON® Rubella IgG Tri-Control kit is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay.

KIT DESCRIPTION:

The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to Rubella virus is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with Rubella antigen and a conjugate of mouse monoclonal antibody to human IgG linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, Rubella virus antibodies present in the calibrators, specimens or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with Rubella virus IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal,

and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU)

PERFORMANCE DATA: EXPECTED VALUES

The LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay was tested with prospectively collected specimens from U.S. subjects routinely sent to the laboratory for rubella IgG testing (n=2159) and from pregnant women (n=449) to evaluate the assay's performance in these populations. Of the 2159 samples sent to the laboratory for routine rubella IgG testing, 91.7% were positive. Of the 449 pregnant women samples, 96.4% were positive. The distribution of results for IgG antibodies to rubella in these populations as determined by the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay is summarized as follows.

COMPARATIVE STUDY

A total of 2806 prospectively collected frozen specimens were tested in the study. Of these, 2608 were from non-selected subjects: 2159 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine rubella IgG testing and 449 pregnant women. Samples were divided randomly and the testing sites were blinded to samples' populations and comparator results prior to LIAISON® testing. Given the lack of statistical power to properly assess the pregnant women negative agreement an unbiased analysis of pre-selected samples was performed as shown below. Of the 2.806 specimens, 198 negative pre-selected subjects were tested: 98 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine Rubella IgG testing and 100 pregnant women tested for Rubella antibodies as part of their routine pre-natal care. The rubella antibody testing performed by the laboratories was used to define the samples as negative. No equivocal results were found in the initial predicate test of the 100 pregnant women, hence there was no need for consensus result to be performed on this cohort.

All of these specimens were tested for the presence of Rubella IgG antibodies using the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and a commercially available rubella chemiluminescence test kit. Three FDA cleared devices were chosen as the additional methods to test the predicate device equivocal samples. The classification of samples equivocal by the predicate device was reassigned based on the consensus of the combined 2 out of 3 results from the three ELISA results, i.e. a sample with concordant result by at least two of the three methods was defined following the consensus. If the results by the three methods were either discordant among themselves or concordant equivocal, the sample was classified as equivocal. The following tables compare the results obtained for the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and commercially available Rubella tests.

Specimens that were equivocal by both, the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and the consensus from the three ELISA tests were not included in the percent calculation. Positive or negative results from the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay were considered as non-agreements in the calculation of percent positive agreement and percent negative agreement when the corresponding comparator method result was equivocal.

Compared number of samples positive on both assays to sum of all positive samples on the reference assay + samples equivocal on the comparator method and negative on the LIAISON® Rubella IgG.

Compared number of samples negative on both assay to sum of all negative samples on the reference assay + samples equivocal on the comparator method and positive on the LIAISON® Rubella IgG.
