The SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG test is for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus early antigen diffuse (EA-D) in human serum by enzyme immunoassay. This assay uses a 28 kd E. coli expressed recombinant Epstein-Barr virus early antigen. When performed in conjunction with other EBV serological tests, this assay can be used as an aid in the laboratory diagnosis of EBV infectious mononucleosis in patients with signs and symptoms of EBV infectious mononucleosis. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only.

Device Description

The SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against EBV Early Antigen D (EA-D), in human serum.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test, a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) designed for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus early antigen diffuse (EA-D) in human serum. This assay aids in the laboratory diagnosis of EBV infectious mononucleosis when used with other EBV serological tests.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria with specific numerical thresholds (e.g., "Positive Agreement must be >X%"). Instead, it presents various performance metrics derived from its clinical evaluation, which are then compared to a legally marketed predicate device. The implicit acceptance criterion appears to be "substantial equivalence" to the predicate device in terms of performance characteristics for diagnostic aid in EBV infectious mononucleosis.

The performance is reported in terms of percent agreement and associated confidence intervals, categorized by EBV serological status.

EBV Serological StatusPerformance Metric (SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test)Reported Value (Prospectively Collected & Tested)95% Confidence Interval (Prospectively Collected & Tested)Reported Value (Retrospectively Tested)95% Confidence Interval (Retrospectively Tested)
Acute InfectionPositive Agreement54.8% (17/31)36.0-72.7%70.0% (35/50)55.4-82.1%
EBV SeronegativeNegative Agreement78.3% (47/60)65.8-87.9%86.7% (13/15)59.5-98.3%
Past InfectionNegative Agreement60.1% (187/311)54.7-65.6%Not applicable (0 retrospectively tested past infection samples)Not applicable

Note: For comparison, the predicate device (Comparator EBV EA-D IgG Test) achieved:

  • Acute Infection Positive Agreement: 41.9% (13/31) with CI 24.5-60.9% (prospectively tested)
  • Acute Infection Positive Agreement: 64.0% (32/50) with CI 49.2-77.1% (retrospectively tested)
  • EBV Seronegative Negative Agreement: 78.3% (47/60) with CI 65.8-87.9% (prospectively tested)
  • No Infection Negative Agreement: 73.3% (11/15) with CI 44.9-92.2% (retrospectively tested)
  • Past Infection Negative Agreement: 62.7% (195/311) with CI 57.3-68.1% (prospectively tested)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Total Test Set Sample Size: 542 serum samples.
    • Prospectively Collected and Prospectively Tested: 477 samples.
    • Prospectively Collected but Retrospectively Tested: 65 samples (50 acute specimens, 15 EBV seronegative).
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: 3 U.S. clinical testing sites.
    • Nature of Data: Mixed; primarily prospective (477 samples) with a supplementary retrospective component (65 samples that were prospectively collected but retrospectively tested). The study notes that the 65 specimens were retrospectively tested to "supplement the prospective study data."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document states that specimens were classified into EBV serological states (Acute, EBV seronegative, Past Infection, Indeterminate) "as determined by other EBV serological reagents" and "reference EBV serology assays for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, and EBV EBNA-1 IgG." It does not mention the use of human "experts" or their qualifications to establish the ground truth for the test set. The ground truth was established by the results of established reference serological assays.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an "adjudication method" in the traditional sense involving human review of discrepancies. Instead, it details how equivocal results from both the SeraQuest test and the comparator test were handled for percent agreement calculations:

  • "SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG test equivocal results were assigned to the opposite test result interpretation than that of the corresponding comparative test results."
  • "Likewise, the comparative test equivocal results were assigned to the opposite test result interpretation than that of the corresponding SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test results."
    This is a statistical adjustment for calculation rather than clinical adjudication by experts.

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 section is not applicable to this device. The SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation device that would involve human "readers" or "AI assistance." The "comparator" in this study refers to another commercially available EBV EA-D IgG ELISA test, not human readers or an AI system.

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

This section is applicable as the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test is an immunoassay that operates independently to produce a result. Its performance was evaluated in a standalone manner by comparing its output (positive, negative, equivocal) to the serological classification derived from reference EBV serology assays. The results presented in Tables 6 and 7 directly reflect the standalone performance of the SeraQuest test relative to the established EBV serological classification.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for classifying specimens into EBV serological states (Acute, EBV seronegative, Past Infection, Indeterminate) was established using a combination of results from reference EBV serology assays: EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, and EBV EBNA-1 IgG. This can be categorized as serological reference assay data. The document explicitly states: "The EBV EA-D IgG result generated by the commercially available comparator EBV EA-D IgG ELISA test was not considered for purposes of characterizing the EBV serological state of the specimen."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a "training set." This device is an immunoassay kit, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a training set in the typical sense. The studies described are for clinical performance validation, not for training a model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since there is no mention of a "training set" in the context of this immunoassay, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation (test set) was established using reference EBV serology assays, as described in point 7.

Description:

Applicant:

The SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test is a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, in three thirty minute incubations. It has been developed to detect IgG antibodies which are directed against EBV Early Antigen D (EA-D), in human serum.

Principle:

Diluted samples are incubated in wells coated with EBV Early Antigen D. Antibodies directed against the antigen (if present) are immobilized in the wells. Residual sample is eliminated by washing and draining, and conjugate (enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG) is added and incubated. If IgG antibodies to EBV Early Antigen D are present, the conjugate will be immobilized in the wells. Residual conjugate is eliminated by washing and draining, and the enzyme substrate is added and incubated. In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate is converted to a yellow end-product which is read photometrically at 405 nm.

Clinical Performance Comparison

Performance of the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test was evaluated against another commercially available EBV EA-D IgG ELISA test according to the EBV serological characterization of the specimens as determined by other EBV serological reagents. For purposes of classifying the EBV serological state, specimens were tested by reference EBV serology assays for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, and EBV EBNA-1 IgG. The EBV EA-D IgG result generated by the commercially available comparator EBV EA-D IgG ELISA test was not considered for purposes of characterizing the EBV serological state of the specimen. A total of 542 serum samples for which EBV serology tests were ordered was tested at 3 U.S. clinical testing sites. Of the 542 1 specimens, 477 were prospectively collected and prospectively tested specimens, and 65 were prospectively collected but retrospectively tested specimens to supplement the prospective study data. Of the 65 prospectively collected but retrospectively tested specimens, 50 were acute specimens and 15 were EBV seronegative specimens characterized by reference EBV serology assays for EBV VCA IgG, EBV VCA IgM, and EBV EBNA-1 IgG, Based upon the results of the three reference EBV serology tests, the specimens were categorized into one of four EBV serological state groups as indicated in Table 1 below.

  • reactive; - nonreactive;

Note: When a reference assay was equivocal, it was considered nonreactive (-). The characterization by antibody response profile was not compared with clinical data regarding presence, absence or status of disease.

Using Table 1 as a guideline, testing results were analyzed by the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test and corresponding comparative EBV EA-D IgG ELISA test according to the EBV serological characterization based on EBV serology reference assays results. For the purpose of percent agreement calculations, SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG test equivocal results were assigned to the opposite test result interpretation than that of the corresponding comparative test results. Likewise, the comparative test equivocal results were assigned to the opposite test result interpretation than that of the corresponding SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test results.

Prospectively collected and prospectively tested 477 sample results from all three sites combined are summarized in Tables 2-3.

Cross-reactivity

The cross-reactivity study was designed to determine if samples from various disease states and other potentially interfering factors interfere with test results when tested with the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test. Specimens that were positive for various infectious diseases, heterophilic antibodies, autoimmune antibodies and antibodies against other EBV markers were tested with the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test. Samples for these

Potential Interfering Substances

The possible effects of icterus, hemolysis, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hyperproteinemia, on the results of the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG test, were examined. A sample panel consisted of one weak positive serum sample (close to the assay cut-off) and one negative sample was prepared. Each serum specimen was first tested without any of the additive. This served as the control representing the normal physiological concentration of each of the potential interfering substances. In addition, aliquots of each serum specimen were supplemented with 8 times the normal level of each potential interferent. These levels were selected to exceed the levels that could be present in disease state sera. The normal and the "enriched" serum specimens with bilirubin, hemoclobin, glucose, cholesterol, and gamma globulin were tested following the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Instructions for Use. Results can be found in Table 9.

Table 9: SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test Results with Potential Interfering Substances

No significant interference was observed in the presence of up to eight times the normal physiological concentration of each of the potential interfering substances tested with the SeraQuest EBV EA-D IgG Test. There were no false negative results for the weak positive specimen and no false positive results for the negative specimens that were encountered in the presence of each of the potential interfering substances.

Warning: While the limited amount of data presented in the study above may not demonstrate it, serum specimens with elevated levels of these interfering substances may generate erroneous results. Grossly hemolyzed, icteric or lipemic samples as well as samples containing particulate matter or exhibiting obvious microbial contamination are not recommended and should not be tested

Precision

{9}------------------------------------------------

A reproducibility panel of 6 members was prepared by the Quest International laboratory. One (1) of the six panel members was negative for EBV EA-D IgG. One (1) of the 6 panel members had levels of EBV EA-D IgG near the assay cut-off that was considered a high negative to equivocal sample. Four (4) of the six panel members were positive for EBV EA-D IgG. All panel members were prepared from patient samples. This panel was split into aliquots and tested at 3 different clinical sites. In addition, 1 SeraQuest human Anti-EA-D IgG positive serum control and 1 SeraQuest human Anti-EA-D IgG negative serum control were also tested. Each of the 6 panel members and the SeraQuest positive and negative controls were tested three times (x3) on each day in one run for 3 days at each of the 3 US testing sites (3 times x 3 days x 3 sites = 27 replicates per panel member and SeraQuest control). The data was analyzed for intra-assay, inter-assay and between-site reproducibility. The standard deviation (SD) and percent coefficient of variation (%CV) were also calculated. Results can be found in Table 10.
