The description details a standard automated immunoassay system and its components, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making. The quantitation relies on a predefined master curve and instrument-specific working curve derived from calibrators.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay intended to aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis by semi-quantitatively determining IgG anti-mitochondrial antibodies in human serum. It is not used for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is described as an aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis, which is the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly states that the assay runs on the BIO-FLASH® instrument, which is described as a fully automated closed system with liquid handling hardware, luminometer, and a computer with software. The assay itself utilizes reagent cartridges and paramagnetic beads, indicating a significant hardware and chemical component beyond just software.
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 QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) is a "chemiluminescent immunoassay for the semi-quantitative determination of IgG antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum." It also states that the presence of these antibodies is "an aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis." This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (human serum) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay that processes human serum samples using reagents and an automated instrument (BIO-FLASH®) to measure a specific analyte (IgG anti-mitochondrial antibodies). This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.
- Components: The kit includes reagents (beads, assay buffer, tracer), calibrators, and controls, which are typical components of IVD assays used for quantitative or semi-quantitative measurements and quality control.
- Performance Studies: The document describes extensive analytical and clinical performance studies, including sensitivity, specificity, method comparison, and interference testing. These types of studies are required for the regulatory approval and validation of IVD devices.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K052262; QUANTA Lite® M2 EP (MIT3) ELISA) further confirms that this device is being compared to another device that is also an IVD (ELISA assays are a common type of IVD).
All of these elements strongly indicate that the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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.
The QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) kit contains the following materials:
One (1) QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) Reagent Cartridge
One (1) vial of Resuspension buffer
One (1) Transfer pipette
The QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) reagent cartridge contains the following reagents for 50 determinations:

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.

Precision
The precision of the QUANTA Flash M2 (MIT3) assay was evaluated on 5 samples, along with negative and positive controls, containing various concentrations of anti-mitochondrial antibodies in accordance with CLSI EP05-A3, Evaluation of Precision of Quantitative Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline. Samples were run in duplicates, twice a day, for 20 days.
Data were analyzed with the Analyse-it for Excel method evaluation software, and within run, between run, between day and total precision were calculated.
Acceptance criteria: Total %CV: 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.

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.

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

Cross-reactivity
To test potential cross-reactivity with autoantibodies and infection-induced antibodies, results obtained on all 417 control samples plus 14 ISSc samples that were included in the clinical validation study were assessed. These samples were from patients with autoimmune diseases that are characterized with disease specific autoantibodies, or from patients with positive infectious disease serology. The composition of the cohort and the anti-mitochondrial positivity rate is shown in the Table below:
| Patient group | N | Number positive | % positive |

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):
21
Page 19 of 23
-
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
