Intended Use
Intended Use: For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only. The SeraQuest HSV Type 2 Specific IgG assay is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) intended for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human serum. The test is indicated for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. The predictive value of a positive or negative result depends on the prevalence of HSV-2 infection in the population and the pre-test likelihood of HSV-2 infection. The test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for immunocompromised patients, pediatric patients or matrices other than human serum.

No
The summary describes a standard ELISA assay and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test intended for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to HSV-2, which aids in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) in human serum" and is "an aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection". This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) performed in microwells, indicating it is a physical laboratory test kit, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only."
  • Nature of the Test: The device is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects antibodies in human serum. This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes biological samples outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection by detecting antibodies in human serum. This directly aligns with the purpose of an IVD.

Device Description

The SeraQuest® HSV Type 2 Specific IgG test is a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) , which is performed in microwells, at room temperature, and in three thirty minute incubations The test detects IgG antibodies which are directed against HSV 2 type-specific antigens in human serum. The Calibrator in the SeraQuest® HSV Type 2 Specific IgG test set has been assigned Index values based on an in-house standard. Test results are reported as Index values.

The principle involves diluted patient samples incubated in antigen-coated wells. HSV Type 2 antibodies, if present, are immobilized. Residual sample is washed, and enzyme-labeled antibodies to human IgG (conjugate) are added. If IgG antibodies to HSV-2 are present, the conjugate is immobilized. Residual conjugate is washed, and substrate is added. In the presence of substrate, it converts to a yellow end-product that is read photometrically.

Precision Testing:

  • Six serum specimens (2 negative, 4 positive) and the SeraQuest HSV Type 2 Specific IgG Positive and Negative Controls were assayed in triplicate, on three separate occasions.
  • Performed at Quest International and at two external independent laboratories.
  • The results are summarized in Table 2, showing Means, Standard Deviations and Coefficients of Variation calculated from SeraQuest Index values.

Specificity Testing:

  • A cross-reactivity study was performed using samples from various disease states and other potentially cross-reacting agents.
  • Samples were determined positive for IgG antibodies against taxonomically related viruses and other related pathogens by other legally marketed devices.
  • Human Papilloma Virus, Chlamydia trachomitis, and Neisseria gonorrhea samples were from individual patients with confirmed sexually transmitted infections.
  • Only samples that tested negative for Type 2 HSV antibody by the legally marketed device were included.
  • Results are shown in Table 3.

Interference Testing:

  • The effects of icterus, hemolysis, hyperdicidemia and hyperproteinemia on test results were examined.
  • Samples that were negative, weakly positive and moderately positive for antibodies to Type 2 HSV were tested with and without elevated levels of hemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, globulin, unconjugated bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, human albumin, and ascorbic acid.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

1. Precision Testing

  • Study Type: Precision Study (Intra-assay, Inter-assay, Inter-laboratory)
  • Sample Size: 27 replicates for each of 6 serum specimens (2 negative, 4 positive) and 2 controls (Positive and Negative).
  • Key Results: Mean Index, Standard Deviation (SD), and Coefficient of Variation (CV%) were calculated for all samples across intra-assay, inter-assay, inter-laboratory, and total variability. CV% ranged from 5.6 to 48.2%.

2. Specificity Testing

  • Study Type: Cross-reactivity study
  • Sample Size: 99 samples in total (HSV 1 IgG: 9, CMV IgG: 11, VZV EBNA IgG: 14, VZV VCA IgG: 17, VZV IgG: 21, Measles IgG: 19, Rubella IgG: 18, Toxoplasma IgG: 6, Syphilis IgG: 4, Human Papilloma Virus: 7, Chlamydia trachomitis: 8, Neisseria gonorrhea: 7).
  • Key Results: 0/99 samples tested positive in the SeraQuest HSV Type 2 Specific IgG Test, except for 1/8 Chlamydia trachomitis samples. This indicates high specificity against common interfering substances and other infections.

3. Interference Testing

  • Study Type: Interference study
  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated, samples were "negative, weakly positive and moderately positive for antibodies to Type 2 HSV".
  • Key Results: No significant interference was observed in the presence of abnormally elevated levels of hemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, globulin, unconjugated bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, human albumin, and ascorbic acid. Grossly hemolyzed, icteric or lipemic samples are not recommended for testing.

4. Comparison With The Predicate Device

  • Study Type: Comparative study with predicate device (Commercial HSV 2 Immunoblot test).
  • Sample Size:
    • 164 serum samples from sexually active adults.
    • 242 serum samples from expectant mothers (198 in first trimester, 19 in second, 25 in third).
  • Key Results:
    • Sexually Active Adults (Table 4):
      • Sensitivity: 91.8% (95% C.I.: 82.2 to 96.5)
      • Specificity: 94.2% (95% C.I.: 87.9 to 97.3)

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).
