Device Description

The assay principle combines a 2-step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA). All of the assay steps as well as the assay temperature are controlled automatically by the instrument. The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and predispensed in the sealed reagent strips. After preliminary wash and sample dilution steps, the sample is cycled in and out of the SPR for a specified length of time. IgG antibodies to H. pylori present in the specimen will bind to the H. pylori antigen coating the interior of the SPR. Unbound sample components are washed away. Anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase are cycled in and out of the SPR and will attach to any human IgG bound to the SPR wall. A final wash step removes unbound anti-human antibody conjugate. During the final detection step, the substrate (4 Methylumbellifery) phosphate) is cycled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a fluorescent product (4-Methylumbelliferone), the fluorescence of which is measured at 450 nm. The intensity of fluorescence is measured by the optical scanner in the instrument. At the assay, results are automatically calculated by the instrument, a test value is generated and a report is printed for each sample.

The VIDAS Lyme IgG II assay principle combines a 2-step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA) (see User's Manual). The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and predispensed in the sealed reagent strips. All of the assay steps are performed automatically by the instrument. The reaction medium is cycled in and out of the SPR several times. After a preliminary wash step and a sample dilution step, the antibodies to B. burgdorferi present in the specimen will bind to the B. burgdorferi specific recombinant proteins coating the interior of the SPR. Unbound sample components are washed away. Antihuman IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase, will attach to the immunocomplex bound to the SPR wall. A final wash step removes unbound conjugate. During the final detection step, the substrate (4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate) is cycled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a fluorescent product (4-Methylumbelliferone) the fluorescence of which is measured at 450 nm.

Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and are provided in sealed reagent strips. All assay steps are automated by the instrument. The assay reactions take place by pipetting up and down with the SPR through the wells of the reagent strip. The sample is initially diluted, and follows a first incubation step in the SPR, where anti-Rubella IgG antibodies present in the sample bind to the rubella antigen coating the interior of the SPR. After a wash step to eliminate any unbound component, a second incubation is performed using a monoclonal anti-human IgG alkaline phosphatase conjugate. Following another wash step, the detection substrate (4-methyl-umbellifery) phosphate) is added to the SPR. The enzyme conjugate catalyzes the hydrolysis of the substrate into a fluorescent product (4-methylumbelliferone), and its fluorescence is measured by the intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of rubella antibodies present in the sample. Results are automatically determined by the instrument based on the stored calibration curve and according to the CLSI® I/LA6-A recommended cut-off of 10 IU/mL.

An immunocomplex of T. gondii antigen and mouse monoclonal anti-P30 antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase is cycled in and out of the SPR and will attach to the human anti-T. gondii IgM bound to the SPR wall (Note: P30 is a major surface protein of the T. gondii tachyzoite, with molecular weight of 30,000 (5)). A final wash step removes unbound conjugate. A fluorescent substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate, is introduced into the SPR. Enzyme remaining on the wall of the SPR will catalyze the conversion of the fluorescent product, 4-methylumbelliferone. The intensity of the fluorescence is measured by the optical scanner in the instrument.

C1. Predicate Device

VIDAS H.pylori IgG (K001460)

D1. Device Description

The assay principle combines a 2-step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA). All of the assay steps as well as the assay temperature are controlled automatically by the instrument. The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and predispensed in the sealed reagent strips. After preliminary wash and sample dilution steps, the sample is cycled in and out of the SPR for a specified length of time. IgG antibodies to H. pylori present in the specimen will bind to the H. pylori antigen coating the interior of the SPR. Unbound sample components are washed away.

Anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase are cycled in and out of the SPR and will attach to any human IgG bound to the SPR wall. A final wash step removes unbound anti-human antibody conjugate. During the final detection step, the substrate (4 Methylumbellifery) phosphate) is cycled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a

G2. Performance Data

The VIDAS 3 performance testing was demonstrated through assay performance testing, using VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion II, VIDAS H. pylori, VIDAS Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, VIDAS Lyme IgG II, VIDAS RUB IgG, VIDAS T4, VIDAS Testosterone, VIDAS TOXO M, and VIDAS TSH assays as the representative assays. This assay performance testing, which included method comparison, precision, detection limits, and linearity, demonstrated equivalency of the VIDAS 3 to the VIDAS and that running a VIDAS assay on either the VIDAS instrument or the VIDAS 3 instrument has no significant impact on the assay results.

H2. Conclusion

The results for the performance testing submitted in this premarket notification are complete and demonstrate that the VIDAS 3 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified in Item C2 of this summary.

C3. Predicate Device

VIDAS® Lyme IgG (K122986)

D3. Device Description

The VIDAS Lyme IgG II assay principle combines a 2-step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA) (see User's Manual). The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and predispensed in the sealed reagent strips. All of the assay steps are performed automatically by the instrument. The reaction medium is cycled in and out of the SPR several times. After a preliminary wash step and a sample dilution step, the antibodies to B. burgdorferi present in the specimen will bind to the B. burgdorferi specific recombinant proteins coating the interior of the SPR.

Unbound sample components are washed away. Antihuman IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase, will attach to the immunocomplex bound to the SPR wall.

A final wash step removes unbound conjugate. During the final detection step, the substrate (4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate) is cycled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a fluorescent product (4-Methylumbelliferone) the fluorescence of which is measured at 450 nm. The intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to the quantity of anti-B. burgdorferi IgG antibody present in the sample.

At the end of the VIDAS Lyme IgG II assay, results are automatically calculated by the instrument. A test value is generated and a report is printed.

C4. Predicate Device

VIDAS® RUB IgG (K080766)

D4. Device Description

The VIDAS® RUB IqG (RBG) assay is an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay (ELFA) that consists of a two step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method and a fluorescent detection. A pipette tip-like disposable device, the Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®), serves as the solid phase as well as a pipettor for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and are provided in sealed reagent strips. All assay steps are automated by the instrument. The assay reactions take place by pipetting up and down with the SPR through the wells of the reagent strip. The sample is initially diluted, and follows a first incubation step in the SPR, where anti-Rubella IgG antibodies present in the sample bind to the rubella antigen coating the interior of the SPR. After a wash step to eliminate any unbound component, a second incubation is performed using a monoclonal anti-human IgG alkaline phosphatase conjugate. Following another wash step, the detection substrate (4-methyl-umbellifery) phosphate) is added to the SPR.

The enzyme conjugate catalyzes the hydrolysis of the substrate into a fluorescent product (4-methylumbelliferone), and its fluorescence is measured by the intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of rubella antibodies present in the sample. Results are automatically determined by the instrument based on the stored calibration curve and according to the CLSI® I/LA6-A recommended cut-off of 10 IU/mL. The assay is calibrated against the WHO 1st International Standard for anti Rubella Immunoglobulin, Human (1997).

Detection Limits

The detection limits of the VIDAS RUB IgG assay on the VIDAS 3 were evaluated per CLSI EP17-A2 "Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline, Second Edition''. For LoB determination, 6 blank samples were each tested in 4 replicates in a single run per day for 4 days with 1 VIDAS 3 instrument and 2 assay lots. For LoD/LoQ determinations, 6 low-level samples were each tested in 6 replicates, 2 runs per day, for 5 days, with 1 VIDAS 3 instrument and 2 assay lots. The LoB, LoD and LoQ determinations were based consequently on 912 results, including 192 results from blank samples and 720 results from low-level samples both assay lots combined. The LoB, LoD, LoQ of the VIDAS RUB IgG assay on the VIDAS 3 are as follows: LoB = 0.389 IU/mL; LoD = 0.595 IU/mL; LoQ = 0.608 IU/mL.

Assay Performance Testing using a CDC Panel

A CDC low-titer rubella antibody standard and a CDC reference panel (CDC RUB IgG serum panel) was tested using the VIDAS RUB IgG assay on the VIDAS 3 system and on the VIDAS system.

CDC low-titer rubella antibody standard results:

Vials of CDC low-titer reference standard were reconstituted water as preconized by CDC and then pooled as MSN (Master Stock Neat). According to the CDC information, the theoretical dose of the neat solution was 21 IU/mL. A ½ dilution solution was then prepared from the MSN solution and had an expected dose at 10.5 IU/mL.

The neat and 1/2 dilutions solutions of the CDC low titer standard (MSN & MS1/2 solutions) were then tested in triplicate in the same run on the VIDAS and the VIDAS 3 instruments using the same VIDAS RUB IgG reagent lot.

The mean result (IU/mL) obtained with the neat and 1/2 dilutions of the CDC low-titer standard and the difference in % compared to the theoretical/expected concentration of CDC low-titer standard were calculated for the VIDAS and the VIDAS 3:

  • for VIDAS 3, the mean value of the neat and ½ dilution were respectively -11.0% and -11.4% compared to the theoretical concentration.
  • for VIDAS, the mean value of the neat and ½ dilution were respectively -15.7% and -7.6% compared to the theoretical concentration.

Above the name is a circular graphic with blue lines on the left side and a green line that curves through the center. The overall design is clean and corporate.

CDC reference panel testing, data analysis and results:

The CDC reference panel consisted of 100 specimens, 50 pairs of sera titered by Hemagglutination Inhibition (9 negative sera resulting in 18 negative specimens and 41 positive sera resulting in 82 positive specimens). A single replicate of each of the 100 CDC reference panel samples was tested on the VIDAS and the VIDAS 3 instruments using the same VIDAS RUB IgG reagent lot.

The number of positive and negative sera detected are identical between VIDAS 3 systems: The VIDAS RUB IgG (RBG) assay identified 80/82 (97.6%) positive tests on 82 positive sera and 18/18 (100%) negative tests on 18 negative sera. One of the pairs of HI positive sera was reported as VIDAS equivocal (both results).

C5. Predicate Device

VIDAS® TOXO M (K923166)

D5. Device Description

The VIDAS TOXO IgM (TXM) assay is an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay (ELFA) that is performed in an automated instrument. All assay steps and assay temperature are controlled by the instrument. A pipette tip-like disposable device, the Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®), serves as the solid phase as well as the pipettor for the assay. The SPR is coated with goat anti-u chain antibodies. The VIDAS TOXO IgM (TXM) assay configuration prevents nonspecific reactions with the SPR. Reagents for the assay are in the sealed TXM Reagent Strips. After a sample dilution step, the sample is cycled in and out of the SPR for a specified length of time. IgM antibodies present in the specimen will bind to the anti-u chain antibodies coating the interior of the SPR. Unbound sample components are washed away. An immunocomplex of T. gondii antigen and mouse monoclonal anti-P30 antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase is cycled in and out of the SPR and will attach to the human anti-T. gondii IgM bound to the SPR wall (Note: P30 is a major surface protein of the T. gondii tachyzoite, with molecular weight of 30,000 (5)). A final wash step removes unbound conjugate. A fluorescent substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate, is introduced into the SPR. Enzyme remaining on the wall of the SPR will catalyze the conversion of the fluorescent product, 4-methylumbelliferone. The intensity of the fluorescence is measured by the optical scanner in the instrument.

C6. Predicate Device

VIDAS® HCG (K921302)

D6. Device Description

The VIDAS HCG (HCG) assay is an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay (ELFA) that is performed in an automated instrument. All assay steps and assay temperature are controlled by the instrument. A pipette tip-like disposable device, the Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR), serves as a solid phase for the assay as well as a pipetting device. The SPR is coated at the time of manufacture with mouse monoclonal anti-hCG antibodies. The VIDAS HCG (HCG) assay configuration prevents nonspecific reactions with the SPR. Reagents for the assay are located in the sealed Reagent Strips. The sample is transferred into the well containing anti-hCG antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase.

The sample/conjugate mixture is cycled in and out of the SPR and the hCG will bind to antibodies coated on the SPR and to the conjugate forming a "sandwich". Wash steps remove unbound conjugate. A fluorescent substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate, is cycled through the SPR. Enzyme remaining on the SPR wall will catalyze the conversion of the substrate to the fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone. The intensity of fluorescence is measured by the optical scanner in the instrument ; it is proportional to the hCG concentration present in the sample. When the VIDAS HCG (HCG) assay is completed, the results are analyzed automatically by the instrument and a report is printed for each sample.

G6. Performance Data

Method Comparison

A study was conducted to verify the correlation of the VIDAS HCG assay on the VIDAS 3 to the VIDAS HCG assay on the VIDAS. One reagent lot, one of each instrument and 113 serum samples were used, and results were evaluated according to CLSI EP9. "Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples". The results, and the 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were as follows:

| Analysis | N | Slope | Intercept | Correlation
coefficient |
|-----------------|-----|----------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------|
| Weighted Deming | 113 | 0.9265
[0.9043, 0.9488] | 0.0828
[-0.1242, 0.2898] | 0.9848
[0.9779, 0.9895] |

Precision

Six serum samples were tested in duplicate (2 replicates) twice a day (2 runs per day) over 6 days on 1 reagent lot using 3 instruments at 1 site (N = 72). The repeatability (within-run precision), betweenrun, between-day, between calibration, between instrument, total between calibration, and total between instrument precision were calculated according to CLSI EP5-A2. "Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods". The results were as follows:

Detection Limits

The detection limits of the VIDAS HCG assay on the VIDAS 3 were evaluated per CLSI EP17-A2 "Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures: Approved Guideline. Second Edition", For LoB determination, 6 blank samples were each tested in 4 replicates in a single run per day for 4 days with 1 VIDAS 3 instrument and 2 assay lots. For LoD/LoQ determinations, 6 low-level samples were each tested in 6 replicates, 2 runs per day, for 5 days, with 1 VIDAS 3 instrument and 2 assay lots. The LoB, LoD and LoQ determinations were based consequently on 912 results, including 192 results from blank samples and 720 results from Iow-level samples both assay lots combined. The LoB, LoQ of the VIDAS HCG assay on the VIDAS 3 are as follows: LoB = 0.242 mlU/mL; LoD = 0.571 mlU/mL; LoQ = 1.280 mlU/mL.

Carry-over

One high HCG positive sample was tested with one HCG batch analyte negative sample and one carry-over analyte negative sample during 7 runs on 3 VIDAS 3 instruments until 84 replicates of each sample was obtained. The average carry-over observed on VIDAS 3 and its 95% confidence interval were calculated and compared to a
