Intended Use
The ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) used for the qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in human serum (collected in serum and serum separator tubes) and plasma (collected in dipotassium EDTA, lithium heparin plasma separator tubes) on the ARCHITECT i System. The ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay is to be used for testing sexually active adults or expectant mothers to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 infection. The test results may not determine the state of active lessociated disease manifestations, particularly for primary infection. The predictive value of a reactive or nonreactive result depends on the prevalence of HSV-1 infection in the population and the pre-test likelihood of HSV-1 infection. NOTE: The performance of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay has not been established for use in the pediatric population, for neonatal screening, or for testing immunosompromised or immunosuppressed patients. The assay has not been FDA cleared or approved for screening blood or plasma donors.
Device Description
This assay is an automated, two-step immunoassay for the qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to HSV-1 in human serum and plasma using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology. Sample, HSV-1 specific recombinant gG1 antigen coated paramagnetic microparticles, and assay diluent are combined and incubated. The IgG antibodies to HSV-1 (HSV-1 IgG) present in the sample bind to the HSV-1 specific recombinant gG1 antigen coated microparticles. The mixture is washed. Anti-human IgG acridinium-labeled conjugate is added to create a reaction mixture and incubated. Following a wash cycle, Pre-Trigger and Trigger Solutions are added. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as a relative light unit (RLU). There is a relationship between the amount of HSV-1 IgG in the sample and the RLU detected by the system optics. The presence or absence of HSV-1 IgG in the sample is determined by comparing the chemiluminescent RLU in the reaction to the cutoff RLU determined from an active calibration.

The device description details a standard immunoassay technology (CMIA) and the performance studies focus on traditional analytical and clinical metrics. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No
Explanation: This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay designed to detect specific antibodies to HSV-1. It is used for diagnostic purposes to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 infection, not to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is "to be used... to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 infection." This directly indicates its role in identifying a medical condition.

No

The device is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) which is a laboratory-based test involving physical reagents and an instrument (ARCHITECT i System) to perform the assay and measure results. This is a hardware-dependent system, not software-only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in human serum... and plasma..." This is a test performed on biological samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay using chemical reactions (chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay) to analyze components within the sample (antibodies to HSV-1).
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies evaluating the performance of the assay in detecting HSV-1 antibodies in human samples, including metrics like sensitivity and specificity.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K000238) which is an "Immunoblot IgG" for HSV-1 & HSV-2 differentiation further indicates that this device falls within the category of diagnostic tests.

All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A total of 62 sets of unique serum samples paired with samples collected in serum separator, dipotassium EDTA plasma, lithium heparin plasma, and lithium heparin plasma separator tubes were evaluated.
A multi-center clinical study was conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay. A total of 915 specimens, which included sexually active individuals and pregnant females, were collected prospectively within the US and tested at 3 independent external laboratories. Comparison was made against a composite comparator method comprised of a commercially available anti-HSV-1 IgG immunoblot method and a Western Blot reference confirmatory test (University of Washington, Seattle).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Tube Type Matrix Comparison: 62 sets of unique serum samples evaluated. Less than 10% difference for reactive HSV-1 IgG samples and less than 0.1 S/CO absolute difference for nonreactive HSV-1 IgG samples when compared to the control tube type (serum).
Precision:

  • Within-Laboratory Precision (20-Day): 80 replicates for each sample type (controls, serum panels, plasma panels). Acceptable precision if within-laboratory (total) imprecision was ≤ 0.07 S/CO for samples 1.00 S/CO. Results met criteria.
  • Within-Laboratory Precision (12-Day): 96 replicates for each serum and plasma panel. Results indicate good precision.
    Reproducibility: 90 replicates for each sample type across 3 testing sites. Results indicate good reproducibility.
    Analytical Specificity (Interference): Samples tested with various endogenous substances and drugs. Less than 10% absolute difference for reactive HSV-1 IgG samples and less than 0.10 S/CO absolute difference for negative HSV-1 IgG samples were observed at specified concentrations.
    Analytical Specificity (Potential Cross-Reactivity): Specimens from individuals with antibodies to other microorganisms or medical conditions unrelated to HSV-1 infection (n=8 to 14 per category). False positive rates observed for Anti-dsDNA Autoantibodies (25%), Human-Herpesvirus-8 IgG (20%), Human papillomavirus (HPV) IgG (10%), Rheumatoid Factor (RF) (10%), and Streptococcus (14%).

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

Precision

Within-Laboratory Precision (20-Day)

A within-laboratory precision study was performed according to CLSI EP05-A3. Testing was conducted using 3 lots of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG reagents, 3 lots of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG Calibrator, 1 lot of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG Controls, and 1 ARCHITECT i2000SR instrument. Two controls, 3 human serum panel samples, and 3 human plasma panel samples were tested in a minimum of 2 replicates at 2 separate times per day on 20 days on 3 reagent lot/calibrator lot combinations, where a unique reagent lot and a unique calibrator lot were paired.

The precision of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay was considered acceptable if the withinlaboratory (total) imprecision (within-run, between-run, and between-day) was less than or equal to 0.07 S/CO for samples less than 1.00 S/CO and less than or equal to 7.5 %CV for samples greater than 1.00 S/CO.

The performance of 1 representative lot of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG reagents is shown in the following table.

Potential Cross-Reactivity

The ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay was evaluated for potential cross-reactivity using specimens from individuals containing antibodies to other microorganisms or with medical conditions unrelated to HSV-1 infection. Specimens confirmed negative for HSV-1 IgG by a comparator method (immunoblot) were evaluated with the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay.

The data are summarized in the following table.

CDC Panel Agreement

The CDC Performance Panel was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and tested using the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay. The panel consisted of 2 aliquots each of 50 serum samples with unknown HSV-1 status for a total of 100. The results were submitted to the CDC for data evaluation and do not imply endorsement of the assay by the CDC.

The ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay demonstrated 100% positive percent agreement (PPA) for reactive samples (46/46) and 100% negative percent agreement (NPA) for nonreactive samples (54/54) when evaluating the CDC panel.

Clinical Agreement Study

A multi-center clinical study was conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay. Sensitivity and specificity were estimated using PPA and NPA as determined by comparing the performance of the ARCHITECT HSV-1 IgG assay to a composite comparator method comprised of a commercially available anti-HSV-1 IgG immunoblot method (comparator assay) and a Western Blot reference confirmatory test (University of Washington, Seattle).

A total of 915 specimens, which included sexually active individuals and pregnant females, were collected prospectively within the US and tested at 3 independent external laboratories.

The PPA and NPA results are summarized in the following tables.
