Intended Use

The ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG Test System is intended for the qualitative detection of specific IgG class antibodies to T. pallidum in human serum. The test may be used in conjunction with non treponemal testing and clinical findings to provide serological evidence of infection with T. pallidum. This test is for in vitro diagnostic use only.

This test is not intended for screening blood or plasma donors.

Device Description

The ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG Test System is designed to detect IgG class antibodies in human sera to Treponema pallidum. Wells of plastic microwell strips are sensitized by passive absorption with T. pallidum antigen. The test procedure involves three incubation steps:

  1. Test sera are diluted with SAVE Diluent. During sample incubation, any antigen specific lgG antibody in the sample will bind to the immobilized antigen. The plate is washed to remove unbound antibody and other serum components.
  2. Peroxidase conjugated goat anti-human IgG is added to the wells and the plate is incubated. The conjugate will react with IgG antibody immobilized on the solid phase in step 1. The wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate.
  3. The microwells containing immobilized peroxidase conjugate with peroxidase substrate solution. Hydrolysis of the substrate by peroxidase produces a color change. After ten minutes have elapsed, the reaction is stopped and the color intensity of the solution is measured photometrically. The color intensity of the solution depends on upon the antibody concentration in the original test sample.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG Test System are implicitly demonstrated by the performance against the predicate device and the specified reproducibility metrics. While explicit quantitative acceptance criteria for clinical performance (e.g., specific sensitivity, specificity thresholds) are not individually listed for each study, the submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

The internal and external reproducibility studies provide quantitative acceptance criteria for precision (Total CV < 15% for reactive samples, < 25% for negative samples for repeatability; < 15% for reactive samples, < 50% for negative samples for reproducibility).

The reported device performance across various clinical studies is summarized below, with performance relative to the predicate device (TPPA) or clinical diagnosis.

Study Details

  1. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • Prospective Studies:
      • 500 unselected samples from patients with a syphilis test ordered (US Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Zeus laboratories).
      • 500 unselected samples from pregnant women with a syphilis test ordered (US Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Zeus laboratories).
      • 1000 unselected samples from hospitalized patients (US: Monmouth, Mainline laboratories, and Zeus).
    • Retrospective Studies:
      • 223 banked known HIV-1 positive samples (New York vendor).
      • 280 RPR/TPPA positive samples (New York vendor).
      • 250 TPPA negative and 27 TPPA positive samples from pregnant women (New York vendor).
    • Reference Panels:
      • 157 samples from the CDC Syphilis Panel (origin unspecified, but typically US-based reference laboratories).
    • Precision/Reproducibility: 15 samples per study (prepared by Zeus Scientific, Inc.).
  2. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications: Not applicable. The ground truth for comparative clinical studies was established using a reference assay (TPPA or RPR) or clinical diagnosis, not by individual expert review of each case. For the CDC Syphilis Panel, the ground truth was "Clinical Diagnosis," implying a consensus or established diagnosis from medical records.

  3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set: Not applicable. The studies relied on a reference assay (TPPA) for concordance analysis or established clinical diagnoses for the CDC panel. There is no mention of an adjudication process for discordant results between the device and the reference standard, nor for expert consensus in establishing the ground truth.

  4. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done: No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is an ELISA test system, which provides an objective quantitative (OD value) and qualitative (Positive/Negative/Equivocal) result, not requiring human interpretation in the way an imaging AI algorithm would. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance" does not apply here.

  5. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Yes, the studies described are standalone performance evaluations of the ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG Test System. The device output (OD value and interpretation) is generated directly by the assay without human interpretation as part of the primary diagnostic step. The results are compared against a reference standard or clinical diagnosis.

  6. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • Reference Assay: For most clinical performance studies, the ground truth was established by a treponemal reference assay, specifically TPPA (Treponema pallidum Particle Agglutination assay), or in some cases, RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) for the retrospective RPR/TPPA positive samples.
    • Clinical Diagnosis: For the CDC Syphilis Panel, the ground truth was based on "Clinical Diagnosis" of syphilis disease.
  7. The Sample Size for the Training Set: Not applicable in the context of an ELISA assay. ELISA assays are biochemical tests with fixed reagents and protocols, not machine learning algorithms that require a "training set" in the same sense. The linearity, analytical specificity (interfering substances, cross-reactivity), and detection limits studies are part of the analytical validation, not algorithm training.

  8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an ELISA assay as understood for AI/ML algorithms. The assay's performance characteristics are inherent to its biochemical design.

Section 6: Test Principle

The ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG Test System is designed to detect IgG class antibodies in human sera to Treponema pallidum. Wells of plastic microwell strips are sensitized by passive absorption with T. pallidum antigen. The test procedure involves three incubation steps:

    1. Test sera are diluted with SAVE Diluent. During sample incubation, any antigen specific lgG antibody in the sample will bind to the immobilized antigen. The plate is washed to remove unbound antibody and other serum components.
    1. Peroxidase conjugated goat anti-human IgG is added to the wells and the plate is incubated. The conjugate will react with IgG antibody immobilized on the solid phase in step 1. The wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate.
    1. The microwells containing immobilized peroxidase conjugate with peroxidase substrate solution. Hydrolysis of the substrate by peroxidase produces a color change. After ten minutes have elapsed, the reaction is stopped and the color intensity of the solution is measured photometrically. The color intensity of the solution depends on upon the antibody concentration in the original test sample.

Section 7: Linearity

The WHO International Standard was diluted serially. Each dilution was tested in duplicate, the mean calculated and the result plotted.

Image /page/3/Figure/7 description: The image is a graph titled "T.pallidum IgG Linearity". The x-axis is labeled "Numerical Interpretation of Dilution Factor" and ranges from 0 to 0.6. The y-axis is labeled "Mean Index Value" and ranges from 0.00 to 3.50. The graph shows a linear relationship with an R-squared value of 0.9971.

Section 8: Analytical Specificity

Interfering Substances

The effect of potential interfering substances on sample results generated using the test system was evaluated with the following possible interfering substances: albumin, bilirubin, cholesterol, hemoglobin, triglycerides and intralipids.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The quantity of analyte in each interfering substance is as follows:

Bilirubin: 1mg/dL (low), 15 mg/dL (high) Albumin: 3.5 g/dL (low), 5 g/dL (high) Cholesterol: 150 mg/dL (low), 250 mg/dL (high) Triglycerides: 150 mg/dL (low), 500 mg/dL (high) Hemoglobin: 20 g/dL (low), 20 g/dL (high) Intralipid: 300 mg/dL (low), 750 mg/dL (high)

Three samples for Treponema pallidum IgG were chosen based on their performance on the Treponema pallidum IgG ELISA test system: positive, borderline and negative. The samples were exposed to the possible interfering substances and tested. An increase or reduction of signal equal to or less than 20% is considered acceptable. The negative sample may have a signal change greater than 20% if there is no change in the qualitative result of the sample. All signal changes greater than 20 % must be specified in the package insert.

All positive samples showed less than a 20% recovery of signal.

The borderline samples showed a recovery of signal <20% of with the exception of the high spike of hemoglobin (25.2%).

The negative sample showed a change of signal (>20%) with the high and low spikes of albumin, hemoglobin, intralipid, bilirubin, cholesterol and triglycerides. The negative sample results in each instance stayed below the cut-off and the change in signal did not affect the qualitative result.

Cross Reactivity

Ten samples minimally for each cross-reactant were tested. The results presented were obtained by testing the analytes against high concentrations of possible cross reactants. The results of this study are summarized in the following table.

Prevalence and Expected Values

To determine expected values in the populations tested, internal investigators assessed the device's performance with 500 masked samples prospectively collected from individuals and 500 samples from pregnant women. The samples were requested to be random, unselected sera submitted for syphilis antibody testing. Additional studies were conducted in a population of 1000 unselected hospitalized patients.

In the 500 prospectively collected samples from patients ranging in age from <1 to >70 years of age, 7 tested positive. The overall observed prevalence in this group was 1.4% (7/500 samples).

In the 500 samples collected from pregnant women ranging in age from 15 to 48, 3/498 samples tested positive. The observed prevalence in this group was 0.6%. Two samples were excluded due to questionable age.

In the group of 1000 samples from unselected hospitalized patients ranging in age from <1 to >70 years of age, 32 tested positive. The overall observed prevalence in this group was 3.2% (32/999 samples). One sample was QNS for testing.

Clinical Performance and Comparative Testing for Intended Use Populations in a Prospective Study

The comparative study for the Intended Use Populations consisted of 500 unselected serum samples from patients with a syphilis test ordered. 500 purchased serum samples from pregnant women were also tested.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

The clinical study consisted of 2,937 serum samples evaluated at three sites located in the United States.

PRECISION and REPRODUCIBILITY

Precision

Precision was evaluated at the manufacturer site. The study was conducted as follows: fifteen samples were identified and/or prepared (by Zeus Scientific, Inc.) for use in the study based upon their activity on the ZEUS ELISA Treponema pallidum IgG assay. Three samples each were selected that were negative, high negative, near cut-off, low positive. On each day of testing, the samples were diluted twice and tested. This was repeated in a second run on the same day by a different technologist for a total of twelve days. Precision is considered acceptable for the reactive samples if the Total CV is <15%. The reproducibility for the negative samples is considered acceptable if the Total CV is <25%. This study is summarized below:

Reproducibility

Reproducibility was evaluated internally and at two external clinical sites. The study was conducted as follows: fifteen samples were identified and/or prepared (by Zeus Scientific, Inc.) for use in the study based upon their activity on the assay. Three samples each were selected that were negative, high negative, near cut-off, low positive and high positive. To assess reproducibility, on each day of testing, each sample was diluted twice and each dilution was run in triplicate. This was repeated in a second run by a second technologist resulting in twelve results per day. This was repeated for five days at each site and the resulting data used. Reproducibility is considered acceptable for the reactive samples if the Total CV is <15% and if the Total CV for the borderline and positive samples do not congregate at the high end of acceptability but show a spread of results of at least 3%. The reproducibility for the negative sample is considered acceptable if the Total CV is <50% and shows no change in the qualitative outcome.

§ 866.3830

Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents.(a)
Identification. Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), theTreponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies toTreponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genusTreponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
