Intended Use
The Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. This ELISA should only be used for patients with signs and symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Equivocal or positive results must be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results are supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Device Description
The Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA test is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Purified Borrelia burgdorferi antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Pretreated test sera is added to each well. If the antibodies are present that recognize the antigen, they will bind to the antigen in the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled anti-human IgM is added to each well. If antibody is present it will bind to the antibody attached to the antigen on the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is added to each well. If enzyme is present the substrate will undergo a color change. After an incubation period the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically, producing an indirect measurement of specific antibody in the patient specimen.

No
The device description and performance studies describe a standard ELISA assay, which is a biochemical test, not a software-based or image processing technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No
The device is an ELISA kit designed for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. It does not provide any treatment or therapeutic benefit.

Yes

The device is explicitly stated as an "Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum" and is used to "support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease," which are functions of a diagnostic device.

No

The device is a laboratory assay kit involving physical reagents, incubation steps, and photometric measurement, which are all hardware and chemical components, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative presumptive detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum." This involves testing a biological sample (human serum) outside of the body to gain information about a patient's health status (presence of antibodies related to Lyme disease).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory test (ELISA) performed on a patient specimen (serum) using reagents and a specific procedure to detect a biological marker (IgM antibodies). This is a hallmark of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing patient serum samples and comparing the results to clinical diagnoses and other laboratory tests (Western blot), which is typical for evaluating the performance of an IVD.

The core function of the device is to analyze a biological sample in vitro (outside the living organism) to provide diagnostic information.

Summary of Performance Studies

Study 1: The CDC Lyme Disease Serum Panel Stratified by Time After Onset. The information is from a serum panel obtained from the CDC and tested by Wampole. The results are presented as a means to convey further information on the performance of this assay with a masked, characterized serum panel. The panel included 5 normals, and patients with Lyme disease with symptom onset: 1 year (8 samples).
Wampole B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA Results: % Agreement with Clinical Diagnosis (sensitivity) for normals was 100%, 1 year was 12.5%. The Wampole Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA demonstrated 47.6% (20/42) agreement (sensitivity) with clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Study 2: 176 fresh sera from patients of various ages and genders that were submitted to a large clinical lab for B. burgdorferi antibody testing were tested on the Wampole B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA and Lyme Stat. Any serum found positive or equivocal was tested by Mardx Diagnostics Western Blot on both IgG and IgM.
Western blot results for Wampole showed 6 positive and 10 negative, with 0 equivocal. For Lyme Stat, 6 positive and 9 negative, with 0 equivocal.
1-step (ELISA) pos. or eq. for Wampole was 10.8% (19/176) (95% CI: 6.1-15.5%). For Lyme Stat was 10.2% (18/176) (95% CI: 5.7-14.8%).
1-step pos. or eq. & 2-step (WB) pos. for Wampole was 3.41% (6/176) (95% CI: 0.7-6.1%). For Lyme Stat was 3.41% (6/176) (95% CI: 0.7-6.1%).
2-step pos. among 1-step pos. or eq. for Wampole was 31.6% (6/19) (95% CI: 10.3-52.9%). For Lyme Stat was 33.3% (6/18) (95% CI: 11.1-55.6%).

Precision Study: Seven sera were assayed ten times each on three different assays at two different sites. The intersite precision is shown in Table 3. With appropriate technique the user should obtain precision of

Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents.(a)
Identification. Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), theTreponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies toTreponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genusTreponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Wampole B. burgdorferi IgM ELISA Result

Because the equivocals would have been tested by immunoblotting in a 2-step test system, they were considered 1-step positive for purposes of calculating % agreement. The Wampole Borrelia burgdorferi IgM ELISA demonstrated 47.6% (20/42) agreement (sensitivity) with clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
