Intended Use

The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG autoantibodies to B2GP1-Domain1 in human serum or citrated plasma. The presence of anti-S2GP1-Domain1 autoantibodies is used in conjunction with clinical and other laboratory findings as an aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 is not intended to replace assays for antibodies against the whole B2GP1 molecule. Testing for antibodies to the whole is required according to the classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome.

The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 Controls are intended for quality control purposes of the QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) kit.

The HemosIL® AcuStar Anti-S2GPI Domain 1 is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) for the semiquantitative determination of IgG autoantibodies to 82GPI Domain 1 in human serum or citrated plasma. The presence of anti-ß2GPI Domain 1 autoantibodies is used in conjunction with clinical and other laboratory findings as an aid in the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. The HemosIL® AcuStar Anti-S2GPI Domain 1 is not intended to replace assays for antibodies against the whole 82GPI molecule. Testing for antibodies to the whole 13GPI molecule is required according to the classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome.

The HemosIL AcuStar Anti-B2GPI Domain 1 Controls are intended for quality control purposes of the HemosIL AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1 chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) kit.

Device Description

The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 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® ß2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.

The assays included in this submission, the QUANTA Flash ®2GP1-Domain1 marketed by Inova Diagnostics Inc. (9900 Old Grove Road, San Diego, CA 92131) and HemoslL "AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1 marketed by Instrumentation Laboratory (180 Hartwell Road Bedford, MA 01730), are equivalent assays. Therefore all data stated hereafter and referred to as: QUANTA Flash ß2GP1-Domain1 data is equivalently also valid for HemosIL * AcuStar Anti-ß2GPI Domain 1.

Recombinant ß2GP1-Domain1 protein is coated onto paramagnetic beads, which are stored lyophilized in the reagent cartridge. The reagent pack is prepared for use in the BIO-FLASH system by pressing down on the grey lid of the reagent pack to pierce the induction seals on the reagent tubes. Once the seals are broken, the beads are rehydrated by adding the entire contents of the vial of resuspension buffer to the bead reagent tube using the transfer pipette supplied with the kit. Only the hole above the bead reagent tube is accessible at this point. The beads are then mixed with the resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down 30 times. This amount of mixing ensures complete resuspension of the beads. The label covering the remaining three reagent holes is now removed, and 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 1:10 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a small 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- ß2GP1-Domain1 antibodies bound to the corresponding ß2GP1-Domain1 on the beads.

The QUANTA Flash® ß2GP1-Domain1 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® ß2GP1-Domain1 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the reagent kit, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.

§ 866.5660 Multiple autoantibodies immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
