Intended Use

The LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay is a chemiluminescent immunoassay to be used with the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of type specific IgG antibodies to Herpes simplex virus Type 2 (HSV-2) in human serum. The assay is indicated for testing sexually active adults or expectant mothers to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection.

The LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay has not been established for use in the pediatrics population, for neonatal screening, or for testing immunocompromised patients. The assay is neither FDA cleared nor approved for testing blood or plasma donors.

The LIAISON® Control HSV-2 (negative and positive) are intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay.

Device Description

The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to HSV-2 is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). HSV-2 gG2 recombinant antigen is used for coating magnetic particles (solid phase) and a mouse monoclonal antibody is linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminolantibody conjugate), During the first incubation, HSV-2 antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with HSV-2 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) and is indicative of HSV-2 IgG concentration present in calibrators, samples or controls.

AI/ML Overview

The information provided details the performance study for the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay, but it does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria for sensitivity and specificity that the device must meet. Instead, it presents the performance data and then concludes that the device performed equivalently to an FDA-cleared comparison method.

However, based on the provided data, we can infer the reported performance metrics.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

As mentioned, no explicit "acceptance criteria" are given in terms of numerical thresholds for sensitivity and specificity. The study aims to demonstrate "equivalent performance" to the predicate device. Therefore, the table below will list the reported performance values.

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Inferred from "equivalent performance")Reported Device Performance (LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG)
Sexually Active Adults (n=401)
SensitivityEquivalent to predicate device98.1% (95% CI: 95.6 - 99.9%)
SpecificityEquivalent to predicate device98.0% (95% CI: 96.0 - 99.1%)
Expectant Mothers (n=430)
SensitivityEquivalent to predicate device94.8% (95% CI: 89.4 - 97.9%)
SpecificityEquivalent to predicate device97.3% (95% CI: 95.3 - 98.6%)
Low Prevalence Population (n=120)
SensitivityEquivalent to predicate device100% (95% CI: 86.1 - 100.0%)
SpecificityEquivalent to predicate device100% (95% CI: 97.0 - 100.0%)
CDC Panel (n=100)
Total Agreement with PositiveEquivalent to predicate device100% (52/52)
Total Agreement with NegativeEquivalent to predicate device100% (48/48)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Total Test Set Sample Size: 951 samples for comparison against the FDA-cleared Immunoblot.
    • 401 samples from Sexually Active Adults
    • 430 samples from Expectant Mothers
    • 120 samples from a "Low Prevalence" population
    • Additionally, a 100-sample CDC panel (52% positive, 48% negative) was used for further performance assessment.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: Northeastern United States for the 951 samples. The CDC panel provenance is not specified beyond being from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Not explicitly stated, but the description "samples collected" and "samples obtained" suggests a retrospective collection of existing samples, rather than prospective enrollment for the purpose of this study.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

The ground truth was primarily established using an FDA-cleared Immunoblot (Predicate Device: Focus Diagnostics HerpeSelect® 1 and 2 Immunoblot IgG, K000238). For equivocal samples on the predicate device, Western Blot testing was performed by a Reference Laboratory in the Pacific Northwest.

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable in the context of human expert review for independent ground truth. The initial ground truth was established by another diagnostic device (the predicate Immunoblot).
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable, as the primary ground truth was instrument-based. The "Reference Laboratory" for Western Blotting implies trained laboratory personnel, but specific qualifications are not mentioned.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable in the traditional sense of multiple human readers adjudicating results. The ground truth was established by a predicate device, and for equivocal results from the predicate, a Western Blot was used for resolution. This acts as a form of reference method adjudication for indeterminate cases from the predicate.

5. 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:

  • MRMC Study: No, this was not a multi-reader multi-case comparative effectiveness study. This study compares the performance of a new in vitro diagnostic device (LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay) against a legally marketed predicate device (FDA cleared Immunoblot). It does not involve human readers' interpretation of results that are enhanced or assisted by AI.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Standalone Performance: Yes, the study evaluated the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay as a standalone diagnostic device. It is an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) and its performance is measured independently against the predicate device and Western Blot as reference methods. It does not involve a human in the loop for interpreting the assay's primary output.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Ground Truth Type: A combination of a legally marketed predicate device (FDA-cleared Immunoblot) and a reference laboratory method (Western Blot) for resolving equivocal results from the predicate device. This is a common approach for establishing ground truth in diagnostic device comparisons. The CDC panel serves as an external, well-characterized control for further validation.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Training Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated or provided in the document. The document describes a "comparative clinical trial" and "reproducibility study" for performance validation, not the development or training of the assay itself. The LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay is an immunoassay, the "training" aspect is related to the assay's development and optimization, for which specific sample sizes are not typically released in 510(k) summaries for such devices.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not specified. As an immunoassay, its "training" involves optimizing reagents, concentrations, and reaction conditions during its development phase. The ground truth for this optimization would typically involve well-characterized positive and negative serum samples, likely confirmed by established reference methods (e.g., Western Blot, clinical diagnosis, culture), but these details are not part of the provided 510(k) summary focused on validation.

PERFORMANCE DATA:

COMPARATIVE CLINICAL TRIALS

Studies were conducted which compared the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay to an FDA cleared Immunoblot. The studies were conducted on 951 samples collected in the Northeastern United States. The samples were classified as "At risk" samples (n=401) from Sexually Active Adults (at risk for a Sexually Transmitted Disease), Expectant Mothers (n=430) and a "Low Prevalence" population (n=120) from patients seen at the clinic for anything other than an STD. The studies were conducted at two (2) independent external laboratories.

The sample populations were divided between site 1 and site 2 for LIAISON® HSV-2 testing. Site 1 tested a total of 460 samples (201 Sexually Active Adults, 199 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low Prevalence). Site 2 tested a total of 491 samples (200 Sexually Active Adults, 231 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low Prevalence). Site 3 tested a total of 951 samples (401 Sexually Active Adults, 430 Expectant Mothers and 120 Low prevalence) with the FDA cleared Immunoblot. Equivocal samples were repeat tested as per the Instructions for use. Any repeat Equivocal samples on the predicate device were sent to a Reference Laboratory in the Pacific Northwest for Western Blot testing. The Western Blot results are included in the tables. All results are expressed as sensitivity and specificity with exact 95% Confidence Intervals.

Sexually Active Adults (401)

Four hundred one (401) samples were obtained from Sexually Active Adults who were seen at STD clinics in the Northeastern US were tested with the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay and the HSV-2 predicate method Immunoblot. Results are summarized below.

CDC Panel:

A serum panel was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and tested by the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay. The results are presented as a means of conveying further information on the performance of this assay with a characterized serum panel. This does not imply an endorsement of the assay by the CDC.

The panel consisted of 52% positive and 48% negative samples. The LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay demonstrated 100% total agreement with the CDC positive results (52/52) and negative results (48/48).

Conclusion: The LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG showed equivalent performance to the FDA cleared comparison method.

The results demonstrate that the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG assay can be used with the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 in human serum samples.

EXPECTED VALUES:

The prevalence may vary depending upon geographical location, age, gender, type of test employed, specimen collection and handling procedures as well as clinical history of the patient.

The observed and the hypothetical predictive values for the sexually active adults, expectant mothers and low prevalence populations are shown below. The positive predictive value (PPV) will decrease proportionally to the prevalence of HSV-2 infection as reflected in the table. The calculations are based on LIAISON® HSV-2 positive and negative agreements of 98.1% and 98.0%, respectively, in a sexually active adult population, 94.8% and 97.3%, respectively, in an expectant mothers population and both 100% in a low prevalence population.

HSV-2 Prevalence vs Hypothetical Predictive Values

REPRODUCIBILITY:

A reproducibility/precision study was conducted at two external laboratories and at DiaSorin Inc. This study included 3 LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG Specific IgG Reagent Integral kit lots and 3 LIAISON® Analyzers. Each site used a different lot of the LIAISON® HSV-2 Type Specific IgG for the study.

A coded panel comprised of 8 frozen "engineered" serum samples was prepared by DiaSorin Inc. and provided to the sites. The coded panel samples were prepared by using neat positive serum or by blending positive and negative serum samples to achieve high negative, equivocal, low positive and high positive results. LIAISON® Control HSV-2 set were also included in the 5 day study. All panel members were divided into aliquots and stored frozen prior to testing. The CLSI document EP15-A2 was consulted in the preparation of the testina protocol.

The coded panel was tested at all three sites, using four replicates per run in two runs per day with different operators performing each run during five operating days. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens for each of the sites and across sites.

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).
