Intended Use
The Platelia" Lyme IgG assay is a qualitative test intended for use in the presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma (K3 EDTA, sodium heparin or sodium citrate). The EIA test system should be used to test serum or plasma from patients with a history and symptoms of infection with B. burgdorferi. All positive and equivocal specimens should be re-tested with a specific, second-tier test such as Western blot. Positive second-tier results are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi. The diagnosis of Lyme disease should be made based on history and symptoms (such as erytherna migrans), and other laboratory data, in addition to the presence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. Negative results (either first or second-tier) should not be used to exclude Lyme disease.
Device Description
The Platelia" Lyme IgG Assay is a qualitative assay for the detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma. The PlateliaTM Lyme IgG Assay uses an indirect ELISA immuno-enzymatic method. Inactivated antigens of Borrelia burgdorferi B31 are used for coating the microplate. A monoclonal antibody labeled with peroxidase which is specific for human gamma chains (anti-IgG) is used as the conjugate.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard ELISA immunoassay method, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is a qualitative test intended for the presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, used for diagnostic purposes, not for treating any condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for the "presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi" and its results are used as "supportive evidence of infection." This aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device as it provides information for diagnosis, even if not definitive on its own.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "indirect ELISA immuno-enzymatic method" using "inactivated antigens" and a "monoclonal antibody labeled with peroxidase," which are physical components of a laboratory assay, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "qualitative test intended for use in the presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma". This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (serum or plasma) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details an "indirect ELISA immuno-enzymatic method" using "inactivated antigens of Borrelia burgdorferi B31" and a "monoclonal antibody labeled with peroxidase". This is a standard laboratory technique performed in vitro to detect specific substances in a sample.
  • Sample Type: The test is performed on "human serum or plasma", which are biological samples collected from a patient.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to aid in the "presumptive detection" and provide "supportive evidence of infection" with B. burgdorferi, which is a diagnostic purpose.

All these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Platelia" Lyme IgG Assay is a qualitative assay for the detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma.

INTENDED USE

The Platelia™ Lyme IgG Test is a qualitative test intended for use in the presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma (K3 EDTA, sodium heparin or sodium citrate). The EIA system should be used to test serum or plasma from patients with a history and symptoms of infection with B. burgdorferi. All positive and equivocal specimens should be retested with a specific, second-tier test such as Western blot. Positive second-tier results are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi. The diagnosis of Lyme disease should be made based on history and symptoms (such as erythema migrans), and other laboratory data, in addition to the presence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. Negative results (either first or second-tier) should not be used to exclude Lyme disease.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY

The PlateliaTM Lyme IgG Assay uses an indirect ELISA immuno-enzymatic method. Inactivated antigens of Borrelia burgdorferi B31 are used for coating the microplate. A monoclonal antibody labeled with peroxidase which is specific for human gamma chains (anti-IgG) is used as the conjugate.

Prospective study

A prospective study was conducted on 439 samples collected at two different sites from endemic region in United States and routinely tested for Lyme disease. The Platelia™ Lyme IgG assay was evaluated in comparison with the two-tier protocol recommended by the CDC (samples found positive or equivocal on ELISA are retested by Western Blot). Data are summarized below.

(1) Two samples were not interpretable on Western Blot IgG and were not considered for calculation.

Analytical Specificity

Analytical specificity of the assay was determined by testing a panel of 183 samples obtained from blood donors. 100 samples were collected in states considentic for Lyme disease (Nevada, Oregon and Louisiana). 83 samples were collected in northeastern US considered as endemic region for Lyme disease. Data provided summarizes the percent of positive/equivocal results obtained in each category.

Precision

a. Intra-assay precision

In order to evaluate intra-assay precision, three samples close to equivocal zone and four samples spaming the assay range were respectively tested 20 and 30 times during the same run. The ratio (Sample OD/CO) was determined for each sample. The data were then analyzed for intra-assay and inter-assay precision according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidance (formerly NCCLS) EP-5A2 revised November 2004. Mean Ratio, Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (%CV) for each of the seven specimens are provided.

A large variation has been observed on negative plasma compared to negative sera but without a change in results interretation. However, the variation within the positive or equivocal samples is small and did not change the results interpretation.

INTERFERING SUBSTANCES

Samples containing 90 gL of albumin or 100 mg/L of unconjugated bilirubin, lipenic samples containing the equivalent of 36 g/L of triolein (triglyceride), and hemolyzed samples containing up to 10 g/L of hemoglobin do not affect the results.

Dear Ms. White:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known): K080012

Device Name:

Platelia™ Lyme IgG

Indications for Use:

The Platelia" Lyme IgG assay is a qualitative test intended for use in the presumptive detection of human IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma (K3 EDTA, sodium heparin or sodium citrate). The EIA test system should be used to test serum or plasma from patients with a history and symptoms of infection with B. burgdorferi. All positive and equivocal specimens should be re-tested with a specific, second-tier test such as Western blot. Positive second-tier results are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi. The diagnosis of Lyme disease should be made based on history and symptoms (such as erytherna migrans), and other laboratory data, in addition to the presence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. Negative results (either first or second-tier) should not be used to exclude Lyme disease.
