4.3. Human Anti-Mouse Antibodies (HAMA)
The effect on detection of analyte in the presence of HAMA using the Elecsys Anti-HAV II was determined on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer using 11 human serum samples. Only samples that are double positive for HAMA and anti-HAV antibodies were used, since HAMA interference would lead to false negative results in the competitive assay format. No HAMA interference was found within the predefined acceptance criteria.
Endogenous Interferences 4.4.
Hemoglobin/Bilirubin/Lipemia 4.4.1.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate endogenous substances for potential interference with the parameters measured on the Elecsys Anti-HAV II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer. For each interfering substance, four human serum samples were tested in accordance with CLSI EP07-A2.
4.4.2. Rheumatoid Factor Interference
The recovery of analyte values in the presence of endogenous interfering substances was determined with the Elecsys Anti-HAV II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer.
13
One aliquot of each serum sample was spiked with the interfering substance, and another aliquot with the same volume of the solvent (buffer matrix) of the interfering substance (dilution pool). The interfering pool was then diluted into the dilution pool in 10% increments.
The recovery for each sample was calculated by comparison to the reference sample.
Serum Albumin, IgG, IgA, and IgM Interference 4.4.3.
One aliquot of each serum sample was spiked with the interfering substance (lyophilisate). In this case, another aliquot without any additives (since the interfering substance is a lyophilisate) was used as dilution pool. The interfering pool was then diluted into the dilution pool in 14.3% increments.
The deviation or recovery for each sample was calculated by comparison to the reference sample.
Conclusion:
All results met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, demonstrating no interference from endogenous substances up to the levels shown in the table below.

4.5. Biotin
The purpose of this study was to evaluate biotin for potential interference with the parameters measured on the Elecsys Anti-HAV II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer. Five human serum samples were tested in accordance with CLSI EP07-A2. Negative specimens with biotin
14
concentrations up to 100 ng/mL demonstrated ≤11% negative bias in COI values. Biotin concentrations greater than 100 ng/mL lead to higher negative bias and in consequence can lead to false positive Elecsys Anti-HAV II results. Refer to Limitations for additional information on biotin interference.
4.6. Analytical Specificity/Cross-Reactivity
The effect on detection of analyte in the presence of potential cross-reacting antibodies using the Elecsys Anti-HAV II was determined on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer with native human serum and plasma sample pools.
Anti-HAV negative samples containing potential cross-reacting antibodies to other infectious diseases were measured with Elecsys Anti-HAV and Elecsys Anti-HAV II. In total, 10 samples with acute Hepatitis B infection, 10 samples with acute Hepatitis C infection, 10 samples with HIV infection, 10 samples with EBV infection, 10 samples with Anti-CMV antibodies, 10 samples with Anti-HSV antibodies, 10 samples with Toxoplasma Gondii infection, 10 samples with Treponema Pallidum infection, 10 samples with Anti-Mumps/Rubeola antibodies, 10 samples with Anti-Rubella antibodies, 10 samples with Anti-Parvovirus B19 antibodies and 10 samples with ANA Autoimmune antibodies were tested.
No cross-reactivity with other infectious agents was found.
Exogenous Interferences – Drugs 4.7.
The recovery of analyte values in the presence of drugs was determined by comparing values obtained from samples spiked with 18 commonly used pharmaceutical compounds (Acetylcystein, Ampicillin-Na, Ascorbic acid, Ca-Dobesilate, Cyclosporine, Cefoxitin, Doxycycline, Heparin, Levodopa, Methyldopa +1.5, Metronidazole, Phenylbutazone, Tetracycline, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Rifampicin, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Theophylline) with the reference sample (unspiked). Four human serum samples (native human serum pools) were used and tested on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer according to CLSI EP07-A2. The drug concentrations tested correspond at least to the five times maximum daily doses. The four serum samples were divided into aliquots and spiked with the potential interferents. The reference sample without interferent was spiked with the respective amount of solvent only.
15
The Elecsys Anti-HAV II concentration (as COI) of the spiked aliquots was determined in threefold determination and compared to the Elecsys Anti-HAV II result determined for the reference aliquot (also in three-fold determination) on one cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer.
All results met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, demonstrating no interference from the drug substances at the tested concentrations.
Sample Matrix Comparison 4.8.
The recovery of analyte values in the presence of anticoagulants with the Elecsys Anti-HAV II was determined on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer by comparing Elecsys Anti-HAV II results obtained from samples drawn into serum and plasma collection tubes. The samples were spiked with anti-HAV positive samples from individual donors to obtain a range of anti-HAV concentrations. The recovery of each plasma sample to the matching serum sample was calculated. At least 60 serum/plasma pairs were tested for each kind of anticoagulant in single determination (K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA, Na-Heparin, Li-Heparin, Na-Citrate).
The specifications were met for all anti-coagulants, demonstrating that K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA, Na-Heparin, Li-Heparin, and Na-Citrate are acceptable sample types for use with Elecsys Anti-HAV II.
Analytical Method Comparison to Predicate 4.9.
A method comparison of Elecsys Anti-HAV II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer versus the predicate device, Elecsys Anti-HAV, was conducted according to CLSI EP09-A3.
A total of 215 modified serum samples (≥100 negative and ≥100 positive samples) were measured in singleton on cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer. The samples were primarily prepared by mixing negative and positive sera from individual donors.
Results for the method comparison between Elecsys Anti-HAV II and Elecsys Anti-HAV met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, which demonstrates equivalency between the candidate and predicate devices.

One-sided upper 95% confidence interval displayed
5.2. Method Comparison Versus Predicate
The Elecsys Anti-HAV II was performed at each of the three clinical laboratories with a single lot of reagent to assess the performance of the assay in a testing environment that most closely resembles that of the final user. The objective of this study was to provide data for US- and non-US-obtained specimens by testing the Elecsys Anti-HAV II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer and comparing the results to an FDA-cleared predicate assay. The Elecsys Anti-HAV assay was used as the predicate device for comparison at each of the three laboratories. The study included specimens from patients in the following cohorts: routine HAV testing, hospitalized, increased risk, symptomatic, characterized acute HAV infected, and pediatric.

c) PPA = Positive Percent Agreement
NPA = Negative Percent Agreement d)
Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement with their respective 95th percentile confidence interval (CI) for each cohort are summarized in the following table. The lower end of the 95% confidence intervals for PPA ranged from 90.45% in the hospitalized cohort to 97.18% in the symptomatic cohort. The lower end of the ≥ 95% confidence intervals for NPA ranged from 52.36% in the pediatric cohort to 93.04% in the hospitalized cohort. For the pediatric cohort, there were 14 specimens negative by both the predicate Elecsys Anti-HAV assay and the Elecsys Anti-HAV II assay. There were 4 discordant results, of which 2 were borderline with the predicate assay but positive with the Elecsys Anti-HAV II assay and 2 were negative with the predicate assay but positive with the Elecsys Anti-HAV II assay. Discordant results were counted against Elecsys Anti-HAV II when calculating agreement (77.8%). The lower bound of the 95% CI for the NPA in the pediatric population is influenced by the small number of specimens (n = 18). The overall percentages for all cohorts combined met the expected performance of a lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of ≥ 90% for the agreement rates (positive and negative) versus the predicate assay (Elecsys Anti-HAV assay). The lower limit of the confidence interval for the PPA was 98.90%, and the lower limit of the confidence interval for NPA was 92.83%.
