QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) is a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum. The presence of antibodies, in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, is an aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis.
QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) Calibrators are intended for use with the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) chemiluminescent immunoassay for the determination of IgG anti-mitochondrial antibodies in human serum. Each calibrator establishes a point of reference for the working curve that is used to calculate unit values.
QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) Controls are intended for use with the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) chemiluminescent immunoassay for quality control in the determination of IgG anti-mitochondrial antibodies in human serum.
The QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) 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 M2 (MIT3) assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.
Recombinant MIT3 antigen 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 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 samples are diluted 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 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(II)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-M2 (MIT3) antibodies bound to the corresponding beads.
For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) 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 M2 (MIT3) Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the three Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set (Clinical Validation Study)
- Sample Size: A total of 586 characterized samples were included in the Validation Set for the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3).
- For clinical sensitivity and specificity calculations, 568 samples were used (excluding 14 Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (ISSc) samples and 4 AIH/PBC overlap samples).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated regarding country of origin. The samples were "characterized" and included various patient groups (e.g., Autoimmune Hepatitis, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, Liver Cancer, Celiac Disease, Hepatitis B/C, Syphilis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Alcoholic liver disease, Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, Sicca syndrome, Type 1 Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Chronic fatigue, Skin conditions, Drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Hypothyroidism, PBC). This suggests the data is retrospective, from existing sample banks of patients with known diagnoses.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set)
- The document states that the "cohort of characterized samples" were used for clinical validation. It also mentions "three diagnosed PBC patient specimens were assayed to aid in the determination of the cut-off."
- However, the document does not explicitly state the number of experts used to establish the ground truth or their specific qualifications (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience) for the clinical validation set. The characterization implies that the samples had a pre-established clinical diagnosis, likely by medical professionals (e.g., physicians, pathologists), but the details of this process are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method (Test Set)
- The document does not describe an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the clinical validation test set. The diagnoses for the "characterized samples" are presented as given.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. This is an in vitro diagnostic device for semi-quantitative determination of antibodies, not an imaging device typically evaluated with MRMC studies involving human readers.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
- Yes, a standalone study was done. The entire clinical validation and analytical performance sections evaluate the device (QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3)), i.e., the algorithm/instrument system, without human interpretation beyond the initial sample collection and result reading from the instrument. The results presented for sensitivity, specificity, precision, linearity, etc., are all measures of the device's standalone performance.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- The ground truth for the clinical validation study was based on clinical diagnoses of "characterized samples" from various patient groups, including confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) patients and control groups for specificity. It also mentions "diagnosed PBC patient specimens" for cut-off determination. This falls under a combination of clinical diagnosis and presumed outcomes data (i.e., whether the patient actually had the disease).
8. Sample Size for Training Set
- The document mentions a "reference population for establishing the reference interval for the M2 (MIT3) assay consisted of 180 subjects" for establishing the cut-off. This could be considered a "development set" or part of fine-tuning the algorithm's decision threshold (cut-off).
- It also states "three diagnosed PBC patient specimens were assayed to aid in the determination of the cut-off."
- Beyond this, the document does not explicitly describe a separate, distinct "training set" for the core algorithm in the way a machine learning model might. The analytical characterization and master curve development are part of the intrinsic design and calibration of the assay.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established
- For the reference interval/cut-off establishment:
- The 180 subjects included: 100 apparently healthy blood donors, 30 infectious disease patients, 30 rheumatoid arthritis patients, and 20 celiac disease patients.
- The cut-off was established in accordance with CLSI EP28-A3c: Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory; Approved Guideline - Third Edition.
- The Analyse-it for Excel software was used for calculations.
- The non-parametric percentile method was used due to non-normal distribution of results.
- Three diagnosed PBC patient specimens were also assayed to aid in determining the cut-off, ensuring optimal differentiation.
- The "Master Curve" for quantitation is generated during manufacturing using 7 "Master Curve Standards" with assigned CU values. These assigned values serve as the ground truth for calibrating the system's quantitative output.

Device description
The QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) 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 M2 (MIT3) assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument.
Recombinant MIT3 antigen 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 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 samples are diluted 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 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(II)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-M2 (MIT3) antibodies bound to the corresponding beads.
For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) 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 M2 (MIT3) Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the three Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.

Value assignment and traceability of Calibrators and Controls
The QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) Calibrators and Controls are manufactured by diluting human serum that contains high titer of anti-mitochondrial antibodies with stabilizer and 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 manufactured to final scale, 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 M2 (MIT3) assay.

{14}------------------------------------------------
Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD), and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)
The LoD of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay is 0.61 CU, which is below the analytical measuring range (AMR) of the assay. It was determined by using two reagent lots, consistent with CLSI EP17-A2 guideline with proportions of false positives (alpha) less than 5% and false negatives (beta) less than 5%; based on 240 determinations; 60 measurements on blank samples and 60 measurements of low level samples with 2 reagent lots. The LoB is 0.43 CU.
The data generated from the LoD testing was used to calculate the LoQ for the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay. The LoQ was determined by calculating the total error (TE) of each sample per reagent lot using the Westgard model: TE = |bias|+ 2S, where S= standard deviation.
The TE was then compared to the predefined accuracy goal (<25%). The LoQ for the assay is 1.2 CU, which has been set as the lower limit of the AMR.
Analytical Measuring Range (AMR)
QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3): 1.2 CU - 3000.0 CU
Auto-rerun function and reportable results
The BIO-FLASH software has an Auto-rerun option available. If this option is selected, the instrument will automatically rerun any sample that has a result of >3000.0 CU after further diluting it by 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 directly measured is 3000.0 CU, the highest value that can be reported is 60000.0 CU.
{15}------------------------------------------------
High concentration hook effect
To assess hook effect, measurement signal (RLU) was examined by performing serial dilutions of two high positive samples (with results above the AMR when tested as neat samples). RLU values showed increase with increasing analyte concentrations, that high positive specimens above the AMR do not show hook effect up to 256,113.1 CU (theoretical value calculated using the highest value in the Working Curve and its dilution factor) in the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay. It is worth to remark that when a sample is run using the auto-rerun function it is diluted 1:20 prior to be in contact with the bead or the tracer, so at that point it is not different from another sample yielding results in the AMR, except that at the end the result is multiplied by 20 before reported.

Linearity
The linearity of the AMR was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EPG-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline. Six serum samples with various mitochondrial antibody concentrations were diluted with negative serum in 10% increments (from 0% to 90% negative serum) to obtain values that cover the AMR. The dilutions were assayed in duplicates. Results were analyzed according to the guideline performing regression analysis and identifying the best fitting polynomial.
{16}------------------------------------------------
Acceptance criteria:
- Best fitting polynomial is a linear one, otherwise, the difference between the best-fitting nonlinear and linear polynomial is less than 20%, or ± 4 CU, whichever is greater (allowable nonlinearity). All six specimens fulfilled the acceptance criteria, showing good linearity in their respective ranges.
| Sample | Test Range (CU) | Slope(95% CI) | Y-Intercept(95% CI) | R2 | Average % Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3373.5 to 481.9 | 1.08(0.92 to 1.24) | -146.8(-486.0 to 192.5) | 0.98 | 98.5% |

These data demonstrate the linearity of the analytical measuring range of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay.
Interference
The interference study was performed according to CLSI EPO7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Five specimens, one high positive (1422.5 CU), one moderately positive (392.4 CU), two near the cutoff (13.9 and 22.1 CU), and one negative (9.9 CU) sample were tested. Interfering substances (hemoglobin, bilirubin, triglycerides, cholesterol, and human IgG) were spiked into every specimen at three different concentrations in 10% of total specimen volume, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay. Additionally, four samples, one negative (11.8 CU), two near the cutoff (18.3 and 23.8 CU) and one positive (195.8 CU) samples were tested for interference with Ursodeoxycholic acid, corticosteroids (Prednisone), methotrexate, cholestipol, hydroxyzine, Aminotransferases (Glutamate Oxacatate Transaminase) and HDL cholesterol (high density lipoprotein). Moreover, 6 additional samples were tested for RF interference by combining them with different concentrations of a high positive RF IgM serum sample (1534 IU/mL). Recovery of the unit values was calculated compared to control samples spiked with the same volume of diluents (10% of total sample volume). Acceptance criteria for the interference studies were 85% - 115% recovery, or ± 4 CU difference, whichever is greater.
No interference was detected with bilirubin up to 1 mg/mL (recovery: 93% to 100%), hemoglobin up to 2 mg/mL (recovery: 94% to 101%), triglycerides up to 1000 mg/dL (recovery: 94% to 102%), cholesterol up to 332.5 mg/dL (recovery: 97% to 104%), human IgG up to 35 mg/mL (recovery: 91% to 115%, or 1.8 CU to 3.7 CU), Ursodeoxycholic acid up to 0.75 mg/mL (recovery: 97% to 104%), Prednisone up to 0.3

Sample Stability and Handling
Four samples, encompassing negative, around the cut-off, and positive samples were tested in duplicates for up to 21 days while stored at 2-8°C, up to 48 hours while stored at room temperature, and after repeated freeze/thaw cycles up to 3 cycles. Results were compared to those obtained on control samples (day zero, stored at 2-8°C)
Acceptance criteria: 90-110% average recovery.
All samples fulfilled the acceptance criteria at each time point for each condition. Based on these results, we recommend that samples are stored up to 48 hours at room temperature, up to 14 days at 2-8°C, and can be subjected to up to 3 freeze/thaw cycles (when samples are stored at or below -20°C).
Reagent Stability
Shelf life
To establish the initial claim for shelf life, accelerated stability studies were performed for up to 4 weeks at 37°C ± 3°C, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3°C.
Accelerated stability testing was performed on each of the following sealed components of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) to establish initial stabliity claim: the beads, the two Calibrators, and the Negative and Positive Controls. Each week a new sealed component was placed in the incubator, and all components were tested at the end of the experiment together with the one that was stored at 5 ± 3℃. The recovery of the measured values was calculated for each time point (compared to those obtained with 5 ± 3°C stored reagent). All calculations were performed by comparing results of sealed components stored at 5 ± 3℃ (control) to those stored at 37 ± 3℃ (test) for 1, 2, 3, and (optional) 4 weeks, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3℃. Linear regression analysis was performed between recovery values and the number of days.
Acceptance criteria for one year preliminary expiration dating:
- Beads:
With regression analysis, the lower 95% Cl interval of the regression line is ≥85% and the upper 95% Cl interval is at ≤115% at day 14, and no individual data point has ≤75% or ≥125% recovery at day 14.
- Controls and Calibrators:
With regression analysis, the lower 95% Cl interval of the regression line is ≥90% and the upper 95% Cl interval is ≤110% at day 14, and no individual data point has ≤80% or ≥120% recovery at day 14.
Beads
Testing was performed on three lots of M2 (MIT3) coupled beads using up to 9 characterized samples with various reactivity levels.
All three lots of beads retained between 85% and 115% reactivity (considering the 95% Cl) after two weeks at 37 ± 3℃, and therefore pass the acceptance criteria for one year expiration date.
{20}------------------------------------------------
Calibrators and Controls
Testing was performed on three lots of M2 (MIT3) Calibrators and Controls. All Calibrators and Controls maintained between 90% and 110% reactivity (considering the 95% Cl) when stored at 37 ± 3°C for 2 weeks, and therefore pass the acceptance criteria for one year expiration dating.
In-use (onboard) stability
Calibrators
Onboard stability claim: 4 calibrations, or 8 hours onboard
During assessing on-board stability, Calibrators were placed uncapped, onboard the instrument, and calibration was performed altogether five times over 9 hours. Controls and a panel of characterized patient specimens were run on each calibration curve.
Calibrators are considered stable if all four calibrations performed in the 8 hour period are successful, mean Calibrator RLU recovery values for the first 4 calibrations are between 90% and 110% compared to the first use, and Control/patient panel CU recovery values are between 85% and 115% of those obtained on the first calibration curve.
The first four calibrations performed in the 8 hour period were considered valid by the software. The calibrators vielded average RLU recovery values ranging from 100% to 110%. The Control/patient panel CU recovery ranged from 87.8% to 96.6%. This supports the claim that calibrators can be used for up to 4 calibrations over an 8 hour period.
Controls
Onboard stability claim: up to 15 uses, at 10 minutes onboard per use
During assessing on-board stability, 2 vials of each Control were assayed once a day for a total of 20 runs. The first run was used to establish baseline value, by running each vial in duplicate, and then additional 19 runs were performed, by running each vial in singleton. During runs, the Controls were left uncapped, onboard the instrument for 15 minutes per run. When not in use, the controls were capped, and stored at 5 ± 3°C.
Percent recovery of each value was calculated compared to the baseline value. Controls are considered stable when all values run within their established range, and the linear regression line obtained by plotting %recovery values against the number of runs stays between 85% and 115% at run 15.
All controls ran within their respective acceptable ranges for all runs. Moreover, the regression line remained between 85% and 115% at run 15 for both Controls. These results support the claim that controls can be used for up to 15 times, at 10 minutes per use.
Reagent Cartridge
To establish the in-use stability of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) reagent cartridges were tested with up to 4 serum specimens (with different reactivity levels). The specimens were tested periodically up to 70 days. Percent recoveries were calculated compared to the day zero average values, and linear regression analysis was performed by plotting %recovery against the number of days. The claim was established using the following criteria (using the one that is fulfilled first):

The stability claim is established at the actual measurement day proceeding the 95% confidence interval of the regression line reaches 85% or 115% recovery, or
-
At the actual measurement day preceding the day when 2 data points or ≥2% of the recovery data (whichever is greater) is ≤ 75% or ≥ 125% recovery.
The onboard stability results of the two lots are as follows:
RP0006: 70 days
151003: 60 days
Using these criteria, the in-use (onboard) stability of M2 (MIT3) reagent cartridge was set at 60 days.
Real time stability
Real time stability testing has been scheduled to be performed every three months on the reagent cartridge, Calibrators and Controls, to verify the one year expiration that was assigned based on accelerated stability studies. At the time of the submission, results were available up to 9 months for reagent cartridge and Controls, while 3 months data for Calibrators will be available in January 2017.
For reagent cartridge, negative and positive controls, along with one additional sample, were tested in replicates of 9 at 0 and 6 month time points, and replicates of 3 at 3 and 9 month time points. - Acceptance criteria: compared to the average baseline value, the percent recovery of each sample is between 80-120%. The % CV of replicates is <15% at each time point.
Calibrators will be tested in triplicates on a calibrated cartridge at each time point. Averages of the triplicates will be compared to the value that was assigned to the Calibrators at release. - Acceptance criteria: % recovery of the average of the triplicates is between 85% and 115%, and %CV of the triplicates is < 10%.
Controls were tested in triplicates on a calibrated cartridge at each time point. Individual values, and averages of the triplicates were compared to the values that were assigned to the Controls at release. - Acceptance criteria: results should fall within their acceptable ranges as were established at the release of the Controls.
All results to date were within the acceptance limits.

Cut-off, reference range
QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3):
| Negative | <20 CU |
|---|---|
| Positive | ≥20 CU |
The reference population for establishing the reference interval for the M2 (MIT3) assay consisted of 180 subjects:
| Sample Group | N |
|---|---|
| Apparently healthy blood donors | 100 |
| Infectious disease | 30 |
| Rheumatoid arthritis | 30 |
| Celiac disease | 20 |
All specimens were the same matrix (serum) as specified in the Intended Use. All specimens were unaltered. The cut-off was established in accordance to CLSI EP28-A3c: Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory; Approved Guideline - Third Edition. The Analyseit for Excel software was used to make the calculations. The distribution of the results was non-normal (Saphiro-Wilk p<0.0001), so the non-parametric percentile method was used. One high positive sample was excluded from the calculations as an outlier. This sample was confirmed to be true positive with the predicate device. The 99th percentile of the remaining obtained values was calculated as 3835 RLU.
Additionally, three diagnosed PBC patient specimens were assayed to aid in the determination of the cut-off. Based on the distribution of RLU values in these (known) positive samples, the cutoff was increased to 6000 RLU to ensure optimal differentiation between negatives and a 20 CU value was assigned to this RLU value. No reference patients tested positive at this cutoff level.

Clinical performance characteristics
Clinical sensitivity, specificity
A cohort of characterized samples, none of which were used for establishing the reference range, was used to validate the clinical performance of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3). A total of 586 characterized samples were included in the Validation Set for the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3). All samples were run on the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3). The distribution of the cohort and the M2 (MIT3) positivity rate is in the Table below:
| Patient group | N | Numberpositive | % positive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autoimmune Hepatitis type 1 (AIH1) | 41 | 2 | 4.9% |
| LKM1 antibody positive Autoimmune Hepatitis 2 (AIH2) | 28 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) | 21 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Liver Cancer (LC) | 10 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Celiac Disease | 19 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Hepatitis B virus (HBV) | 10 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Hepatitis C virus (HCV) | 25 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Syphilis | 10 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Ulcerative Colitis | 26 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Crohn's Disease | 10 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) | 20 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) | 8 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) | 8 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Sjögren's syndrome (SS) | 4 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Sicca syndrome | 20 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Type 1 Diabetes | 30 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Osteoporosis | 28 | 1 | 3.6% |
| Chronic fatigue | 30 | 1 | 3.3% |
| Skin conditions | 30 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Drug-induced hepatotoxicity | 9 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Hypothyroidism | 30 | 0 | 0.0% |
| Controls used for Specificity Calculations | 417 | 4 | 1.0% |
| Other: Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (ISSc)* | 14 | 5 | 35.7% |
| Other: AIH/PBC overlap** | 4 | 4 | 100.0% |
| PBC | 151 | 127 | 84.1% |
| Total | 586 |
- Literature indicates a relatively high prevalence of PBC in SSc patients, as compared to the general population. ISSc samples were therefore excluded from sensitivity and specificity calculations
** Four samples with AIH/PBC overlap were excluded for all sensitivity and specificity calculations.

Clinical sensitivity and specificity of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) were analyzed in the table below:
Expected values
The expected value in the normal population is "negative". Anti-mitochondrial antibody levels were analyzed in a cohort of 100 apparently healthy blood donors (50 females and 50 males, ages 17 to 57 years, with an average and median age of 34 years) using the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3). This patient population was different from the one that was used to establish the cutoff, and was only used to assess expected values. With the cut-off of 20 CU, two samples were positive on the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3). The mean concentration was 2.8 CU, and the values ranged from <1.2 to 91.4 CU.
Comparison with predicate device
Samples for method comparison analysis include 409 samples from the clinical validation study, plus 8 additional PBC samples that yield results around the cutoff of the assay to increase to 11.5% of the samples within the AMR, for a total of 417 samples were tested on both the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) and on the predicate ELISA. Negative percent agreement (NPA), positive percent agreement (PPA), and total percent agreement (TPA) were calculated. The data are presented in four ways; first using all samples (EIA equivocal presented as positive, then negative), and next using only the 174 samples within the AMR (EIA equivocal presented as positive, then negative).

§ 866.5090 Antimitochondrial antibody immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. An antimitochondrial antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of diseases that produce a spectrum of autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissue), such as primary biliary cirrhosis (degeneration of liver tissue) and chronic active hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
