The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen detects antibodies against dsDNA, UIRNP (RNP70, A, C), Sm, SS-A/Ro (52 kDa,60 kDa), SS-B/La, Scl-70, CENP-B and Jo-1 in a single microwell.
The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies in serum and plasma (citrate/EDTA). Designed as a screening assay, it detects eight antinuclear antibodies in a single microwell. The determination of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. The presence of ANA suggests the possibility of rheumatic autoimmune diseases, These diseases include Systemic Lupus Erythemtosus (SLE), Polymyositis/ Dematomyositis, Scleroderma, Sjögren's Syndrome and Mixed Conective Tissue Diseases.
The provided text does not contain a specific study designed to establish acceptance criteria for the Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen device. Instead, it focuses on the device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K993108) and describes laboratory data supporting this equivalence. The FDA letter confirms the substantial equivalence determination but does not detail a separate study proving the device meets explicit acceptance criteria in the format requested.
Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be directly populated from the provided documents.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., specific sensitivity, specificity, or agreement thresholds) that the new device needed to meet. Instead, it relies on demonstrating comparable performance to the predicate device.
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Comparability to Predicate Device (Varelisa® ReCombi ANA Screen, K993108) | The document states that a comparison study analyzed 150 disease controls and 103 CTD samples. It concluded that "all available data support that the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the new device performs according to state-of-the-art expectations." |
| Detection of specific ANAs (dsDNA, U1RNP, Sm, SS-A/Ro, SS-B/La, Scl-70, CENP-B and Jo-1) | The device is designed for the qualitative determination of these eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases. The comparison study results for clinically defined sera and international reference sera would demonstrate this, though specific performance metrics are not given. |
| Performance with clinically defined sera and international reference sera | Results were obtained for these types of samples, supporting comparability to the predicate device. Specific performance values (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) are not provided. |
| Performance with samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population) | Results were obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects, supporting comparability to the predicate device. Specific performance values are not provided. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: "150 disease controls and 103 CTD samples."
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. It indicates that the data includes "clinically defined sera and for international reference sera" and "samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population)," suggesting a mix of sources. It's a retrospective analysis, comparing the new device's results to the predicate device and established serum characteristics.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The "ground truth" seems to be established by the clinical definition of the sera (e.g., "clinically defined sera," "disease controls," "CTD samples") and international reference sera.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
This information is not provided in the document.
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:
This is not applicable. The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for qualitative determination of antibodies, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that humans would "read." It produces a quantitative result (OD at 450 nm and 620 nm) that is interpreted qualitatively.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This is implicitly a standalone device. As an IVD assay, the device itself provides the result based on the biochemical reaction and optical density measurement. There isn't a "human-in-the-loop" component in the sense of a human interpreting complex images or data that the device first processes. The interpretation is of the assay's output.
7. The type of ground truth used:
The ground truth appears to be based on:
- Clinical Diagnosis: For "clinically defined sera," "disease controls," and "CTD samples," the ground truth is their established clinical diagnosis.
- International Reference Sera: These typically have well-characterized antibody profiles that serve as a ground truth for comparison.
- Healthy Controls: Samples from "apparently healthy subjects" serve as a negative ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is not provided. The document describes a comparison study for validation of the new device's performance against the predicate, rather than a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning. The "development" of the new device (e.g., choice of recombinant antigens, synthetic peptides) would have occurred prior, potentially using other samples, but details are not given.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is not provided as a separate "training set" is not explicitly mentioned in the context of the performance validation study.

General Description of the New Device
The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies in serum and plasma (citrate/EDTA). Designed as a screening assay, it detects eight antinuclear antibodies in a single microwell. The determination of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. The presence of ANA suggests the possibility of rheumatic autoimmune diseases, These diseases include Systemic Lupus Erythemtosus (SLE), Polymyositis/ Dematomyositis, Scleroderma, Sjögren's Syndrome and Mixed Conective Tissue Diseases.
Test Principle of the New Device
Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative determination of 8 antinuclear antibodies in serum or plasma (citrate/EDTA). The wells of a microplate are coated with human recombinant nuclear antigens, synthetic peptides and dsDNA. Antibodies specific for the nuclear antigens present in a patient sample bind to these nuclear antigens.
In a second step the enzyme labeled second antibody (conjugate) binds to the antigen-antibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled conjugate-antibody-antigen complex. The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution.
The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.
Device Comparison
The new device is developed as successor of the predicate device. Both assays share the same assay principle and indications for use. They are indirect
{2}------------------------------------------------
noncompetitive enzyme immunoassays for qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against antinuclear antigens in serum and plasma. Both assays recommend the same sample dilutions and use identical reagents (including the conjugate). In accordance to the relevant scientific literature both assays state in the Intended Use, that the measuring of antinuclear antibodies aids in the diagnosis of Connective Tissue Diseases such as SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus), scleroderma (progressive systemic sclerosis). MCTD (mixed connective tissue disease), SS (Sjögren's syndrome) and PM/DM (polymvositis/ dermatomyositis).
Differences do exist but do not affect the tenor of the "Intended Use" and do not raise new types of "Safety and Effectiveness" questions. The new device uses a synthetic peptide derived from the human SmD protein instead of Sm antigen purified from calf thymus. Minor differences pertain to increased volumina of the reagents and leaving out the prewashing step of the antigen strips. The Wash buffer no longer contains NaN3 and the substrate TMB is of lower concentration because the substrate incubation step has been increased to 30 min.
Laboratory equivalence
The comparability of predicate device and new device is supported by a data set including
- · results obtained for clinically defined sera and for international reference sera.
- · results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population).
- · Results obtained within a comparison study analyzing 150 disease controls and 103 CTD samples.
In summary, all available data support that the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the new device performs according to state-of-the-art expectations.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
