Intended Use
The DiaSorin LIAISON® VZV IgG uses chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer family for the qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in human serum. This assay can be used as an aid in the determination of previous infection of varicella-zoster virus. The assay performance in detecting antibodies to VZV in individuals vaccinated with the FDA-licensed VZV vaccine is unknown. The user of this assay is responsible for establishing the performance characteristics with VZV vaccinated individuals. The DiaSorin LIAISON® Control VZV IgG (negative and positive) is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the DiaSorin LIAISON® VZV IgG assay on the LIAISON® Analyzer family. The performance characteristics of the LIAISON® Control VZV IgG have not been established for any other assay or instrument platforms different from LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL.
Device Description
The LIAISON® VZV IgG is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus in human serum. The LIAISON® Control VZV IqG are liquid ready-to-use controls based in human serum. The negative control is intended to provide an assay response characteristic of negative patient specimens and the positive control is intended to provide an assay response characteristic of positive patient specimens. The assay and controls are designed for use with DiaSorin LIAISON® Analyzer familv.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is used for the qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus in human serum to aid in the determination of previous infection, not for treating any condition.

Yes
The device is described as an "aid in the determination of previous infection of varicella-zoster virus" by detecting specific IgG antibodies, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and includes controls based in human serum, indicating it is a laboratory-based test kit with physical reagents and components, not software only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for the "qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in human serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) in vitro (outside the body) to gain information about a physiological state (previous VZV infection).
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" further clarifies that it's an "indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus in human serum." This confirms the in vitro nature of the test.
  • Controls: The description of the controls also indicates they are "based in human serum," reinforcing the use of human biological samples.

These characteristics align directly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.3900 Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to varicella-zoster in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by varicella-zoster viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Varicella (chicken pox) is a mild, highly infectious disease, chiefly of children. Zoster (shingles) is the recurrent form of the disease, occurring in adults who were previously infected with varicella-zoster viruses. Zoster is the response (characterized by a rash) of the partially immune host to a reactivation of varicella viruses present in latent form in the patient's body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

CONCLUSION:

As summarized, the DiaSorin LIAISON® VZV IgG and LIAISON® Control VZV IgG, are substantially equivalent to the originally cleared devices. The changes to the device do not constitute new intended/indications for use, or changes to the fundamental scientific technology. Performance testing of the device demonstrates that the device functions as intended, meeting the requirements of design specifications. The device was determined to be substantially equivalent to the previously cleared device.

The material submitted in this Special 510(k) is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision. The labeling satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR 809.10.
