Intended Use
The ADVIA Centaur Syphilis (SYPH) assay is an in-vitro diagnostic immunoassay for the qualitative determination of antibodies to Treponema pallidum in human serum or plasma (EDTA. lithium or sodium heparinized, citrate) using the ADVIA Centaur® and ADVIA Centaur® XP systems as an aid in the diagnosis of syphilis. The ADVIA Centaur Syphilis assay is not intended for blood and tissue donor screening. ADVIA® Centaur Syphilis Quality Control Materials are for in-vitro diagnostics use to monitor the performance of the Syphilis assay on the ADVIA Centaur® systems. The performance of the SYPH quality control material has not been established with any other Syphilis assay.
Device Description
The ADVIA Centaur syphilis assay is a fully automated, antigen sandwich assay, using direct chemiluminometric technology. The ancillary pack reagent containing acridinium-ester-labeled T. pallidum recombinant antigens is added to the sample. These T. pallidum antigens complex with the antibodies in the sample. The solid phase containing biotinylated T. pallidum recombinant antigens preformed to streptavidin-coated magnetic latex particles, is then added to the sample. These particles capture the T. pallidum antigen-antibody complexes. Antibody-antigen complexes will form if Syphilis antibodies are present in the sample. A direct relationship exists between the level of antibodies to T. pallidum present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLUs) detected by the system. A result of reactive, nonreactive, or equivocal is determined according to the Index Value established with the calibrators. The Syphilis kit contains the following: - 1 ReadyPack® primary reagent pack containing ADVIA Centaur Syphilis Solid Phase Reagent (20 mL); - 1 Ancillary pack containing ADVIA Centaur Syphilis Ancillary Reagent (10mL) - ADVIA Centaur Syphilis Master Curve card - 2 vials of Syphilis Low Calibrator (2 mL fill volume) - 2 vials of Syphilis High Calibrator (2 mL fill volume) - ADVIA Centaur Syphilis Calibrator Assigned Value cards In addition Syphilis quality control materials (2 vials of negative control and 2 vials of positive control with 7 mL fill volume each) are provided separately.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Precision: 5 serum based samples (serum sample pools), 3 plasma based samples (2 controls. low and high. and one additional plasma pool) and 2 calibrators (low and high) were tested in duplicate over the course of 20 days, two runs per day, for a total of 40 runs and 80 replicates.
Reproducibility: Two different reagent lots were used across three external sites. The protocol involves 10 days, 2 runs per day, and 4 replicates per run for sample pools, and 8 replicates per run for negative and positive control materials.
Interference: Three samples at syphilis levels (negative, low positive and high positive) were spiked with interferent to evaluate interference by endogenous substances.
Cross-reactivity:

  • 211 cord blood samples, samples from pregnant women (15, 200, and 31d trimester), samples from hospitalized patients, pediatric samples and transplant samples were tested. Each sample was tested in singlicate using one lot of reagent on one system.
  • 265 specimens from 20 groups of potential cross-reactant disease states were assayed. These samples had a known activity to the potential cross reactant in each group of specimens which was determined by FDA-cleared methods and provided by the respective vendor. Each sample was tested in singlicate using one lot of reagent.
    Clinical evaluation: Samples from various patient populations were tested at three clinical trial sites. Total n=2108, n=561 expected positive population, n=741 samples sent for syphilis testing.

§ 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).

J. Performance Characteristics

Substantial equivalence was demonstrated by testing several performance characteristics including imprecision, reproducibility, interfering and cross-reactive substances.

a.Precision

Precision estimates were computed according to CLSI document EP05-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline. Within run and total imprecision were evaluated by testing 5 serum based samples (serum sample pools), 3 plasma based samples (2 controls. low and high. and one additional plasma pool) and 2 calibrators (low and high). The elevated levels were spiked with syphilis antigen to achieve appropriate concentrations. The samples were assayed in duplicate over the course of 20 days, two runs per day, for a total of 40 runs and 80 replicates.
