Intended Use
The Elecsys Toxo IgM immunoassay is for the in vitro qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in human serum and plasma. This assay may be used as an aid in the diagnosis of an acute or recent Toxoplasma gondii infection in suspected patients and pregnant women. Patient testing must be performed in conjunction with an anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody assay. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on Elecsys and cobas e immuno-assay analyzers. This assay has not been cleared by the FDA for blood/plasma donor screening. PreciControl Toxo IgM is used for quality control of the Elecsys Toxo IgM immunoassay on the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Description
The Elecsys Toxo IgM is a two-step sandwich immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. In the first incubation 10 uL of sample are automatically prediluted 1:20 with Elecsys Diluent Universal and T. gondii-specific recombinant antigen labeled with a ruthenium complex is added. Anti-Toxo IgM antibodies present in the sample react with the ruthenium-labeled T. gondii-specific recombinant antigen. Then biotinylated monoclonal human-IgM- specific antibodies and streptavidin-coated microparticles are added. The complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptayidin. The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. Results are determined automatically by the Elecsys software by comparing the electrochemiluminescence signal obtained from the reaction product of the sample with the signal of the cutoff value previously obtained by Toxo IgM calibration.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay used for qualitative detection of antibodies, aiding in diagnosis. It does not provide any therapeutic intervention or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the assay "may be used as an aid in the diagnosis of an acute or recent Toxoplasma gondii infection in suspected patients and pregnant women." This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical immunoassay process involving reagents, microparticles, and electrochemiluminescence detection, which are hardware components. While software is mentioned for result determination, it is integral to a larger hardware-based system.

§ 866.3780

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyToxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoanToxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.(b)

1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Elecsys Toxo IgM is a two-step sandwich immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. In the first incubation10 uL of sample are automatically prediluted 1:20 with Elecsys Diluent Universal and T. gondii-specific recombinant antigen labeled with a ruthenium complex is added. Anti-Toxo IgM antibodies present in the sample react with the ruthenium-labeled T. gondii-specific recombinant antigen. Then biotinylated monoclonal human-IgM- specific antibodies and streptavidin-coated microparticles are added. The complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptayidin. The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. Results are determined automatically by the Elecsys software by comparing the electrochemiluminescence signal obtained from the reaction product of the sample with the signal of the cutoff value previously obtained by Toxo IgM calibration.

3.4. Matrix equivalency study

Studies were conducted to evaluate the suitability of the following 5 types of blood collectin tubes: serum/gel separation tubes, lithium heparin plasma. K2-EDTA plasma and sodium citrate plasma. A minimum of 49 sample pairs were drawn into serum and plasma collection tubes. The recovery of the analyte in the presence of the anti coagulant was compared to serum. All results met the acceptance criteria.

Limitations - interference 3.5.

The assay is unaffected by:

CompoundConcentration
Bilirubin0.5 COI recovery ± 20 %.

Samples should not be taken from patients receiving therapy with high biotin doses (i.e. >5 mg/day) until at least 8 hours following the last biotin administration.

No interference was observed from rheumatoid factors up to a concentration of 3720 IU/mL. The high-dose hook effect does not lead to false-negative results in the Elecsys Toxo IgM assay. In vitro tests were performed on 18 commonly used pharmaceuticals and in addition on spiramycine, sulfadiazine, folinic acid and pyrimethamine. No interference with the assay was found.

As with many u-capture assays an interference with unspecific IgM is observed. Increasing amounts of unspecific IgM may lead to a decrease in the recovery of positive samples with the Elecsys Toxo IgM assay.

In rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to immunological components, streptavidin or ruthenium can occur. These effects are minimized by suitable test design.

For diagnostic purposes, the results should always be assessed in conjunction with the patient's medical history, clinical examination and other findings.

*COI= cut off index

10

3.6. Hook Effect

For verification of this claim and due to the fact that spiking of the analyte is not possible, three high positive serum samples (single donors), with a COI value of 30.5, 31.9 and 64.5 COI, (based on the measured Elecsys Toxo IgM result) were used for this experiment. It was diluted with native human negative serum in decreasing gradients. All dilution steps were measured in three-fold determination. The median of the signals for each dilution is calculated and, in relation to the dilution factor shown for each dilution in a diagram.

Acceptance criterion: For the Elecsys Toxo IgM assay it is claimed that High-dose Hook effect does not lead to false-negative results

Assay Cut-off 3.7.

The cut-off for the Elecsys Toxo IgM immunoassay was established by the use of sample collectives characterized with commercially available assays.

The classification of samples, based on the cut-off establishment, verification, and validation, is as follows:

  • Sample results 1.0 COI = Reactive sample .

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION 4.

Summary of clinical performance
