Intended Use
QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum. The presence of anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, aids in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 Calibrators are intended for use with the QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 chemiluminescent immunoassay for the determination of IgG anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum. Each calibrator establishes a point of reference for the working curve that is used to calculate unit values. QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 Controls are intended for use with the OUANTA Flash® Scl-70 chemiluminescent immunoassay for quality control in the determination of IgG anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum.
Device Description
The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay is designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument. Recombinant Scl-70 is coated onto paramagnetic beads. The bead suspension is lyophilized and stored in the bead tube. Prior to use in the BIO-FLASH system, the sealed reagent tubes are pierced with the reagent cartridge lid and the beads are rehydrated and resuspended using resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down with a transfer pipette. The reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient serum sample is prediluted 1:23.5 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. Isoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(III) coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (urea-hydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti-Scl-70 antibodies bound to the corresponding Scl-70 on the beads. For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU)mL from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard automated immunoassay system and does not mention any AI or ML components in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The quantitation method relies on a predefined master curve and instrument-specific working curve, which is a traditional method, not AI/ML.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay designed for the semi-quantitative determination of autoantibodies to aid in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis, not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "aids in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an immunoassay designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument, which is described as a fully automated closed system including liquid handling hardware, luminometer, and a computer with software-user interface. The assay also utilizes a reagent cartridge format. This indicates the device is a combination of hardware, software, and reagents, 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 "semi-quantitative determination of IgG anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum." This is a test performed on a biological sample (serum) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health status (aiding in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory assay that uses reagents and an automated instrument to analyze a patient's serum sample.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes analytical and clinical performance studies conducted on human serum samples to evaluate the device's accuracy and reliability in detecting the target analyte.
  • Comparison to Predicate Device: The comparison to a predicate device (QUANTA Lite® Scl-70 ELISA) which is also an IVD, further confirms its classification.

All of these characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

QUANTA Lite® Scl-70 ELISA, 510(k) number: K924898

Device description

The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay is designed to run on the BIO-FLASH® instrument. This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.

Recombinant Scl-70 is coated onto paramagnetic beads. The bead suspension is lyophilized and stored in the bead tube. Prior to use in the BIO-FLASH system, the sealed reagent tubes are pierced with the reagent cartridge lid and the beads are rehydrated and resuspended using resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down with a transfer pipette. The reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient serum sample is prediluted 1:23.5 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. lsoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(III) coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (urea-hydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti-Scl-70 antibodies bound to the corresponding Scl-70 on the beads.

For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU)mL from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.


The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 kit contains the following materials:

One (1) QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Reagent Cartridge

Value assignment and traceability of Calibrators and Controls

The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Calibrators and Controls are manufactured by diluting human serum that contains high titer of antibodies with antibody stabilizer buffer, containing preservative. The human serum is obtained from commercial sources and it is tested for markers of infectious substances.

The target CU is achieved through trial dilutions on small scale. Once a dilution is selected, the Calibrators and Control are bulked, tested, and adjusted. Upon completion of the manufacturing process, the Calibrators and Controls are tested on at least two instruments, on at least two lots of reagent cartridge, in replicates of 10 to determine final value assignment.

Calibrator and Control values are directly traceable to the in-house Standards that are used to create the Master Curves for the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay.

Limit of Quantitation (LoQ), Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD)

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay is 1.2 CU, which defines the lower limit of the AMR. The LoQ was determined consistent with CLSI EP17-A2 guideline the total error (TE) of each sample per reagent lot, using the Westgard model (TE= /Bias/ + 2s) based on 120 measurements of four low level samples. The total error (TE) for the LoQ is 786.3 CU by further diluting it by a factor specified in the assay definition file (20 fold), thereby bringing the measured value within the AMR. The final result will be calculated by the software by taking into account the additional dilution factor. As the highest value that can be measured is 786.3 CU, the highest value that can be reported is 15726 CU.

To validate the Auto-rerun function, three high positive specimens with results above the analytical measuring range were selected. The samples were run with the Auto-rerun function enabled on the BIO-FLASH. Then the specimens were manually diluted 20 fold and tested on the BIO-FLASH. The results were within the analytical measuring range after auto-rerun or manual dilution for all specimens. The % recovery values for results obtained with the auto-rerun results compared to the results obtained by manual dilution were 104%, 101% and 91% (average 102%) and are within the ± 20% acceptance limit.

Linearity

The linearity of the AMR was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EP6-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline. Five serum samples with various Scl-70 antibody concentrations were diluted with negative serum in 10% increments (from 0% to 90% negative serum) to obtain values that cover the AMR. Diluted samples were assayed in duplicate. Percent recovery was calculated compared to expected results (based on dilution). Percent recovery for all data points ranged from 80.2% to 118.4%. Obtained values were plotted against expected values, and linear regression analysis was performed on each samples, and also on the combined results. Acceptance criteria were 80%-120% recovery, 0.9-1.1 slope and ≥0.95 R . Linear regression results are shown in the Table below.
