Intended Use
The Cambridge Biotech Human Lyme B. burgdorferi IgG Western Blot is intended for use in testing human serum samples which have demonstrated positive or equivocal responses using EIA or IFA test procedures to provide supportive evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. The Cambridge Biotech Human Lyme B. burgdorferi IgG Western Blot can be used at any time following onset of symptoms. It should also be used for follow up when (1) only IgM antibodies were originally detected, (2) lgG antibodies were detected but were not considered significant, or (3) previously tested seronegative individuals are shown to develop antibodies by EIA or IFA test procedures. The assay is not intended for use as a screening assay, nor should it be used for analysis of serum from patients who have not demonstrated symptoms of Lyme Disease.
Device Description
The device is a Western Blot assay. Proteins and other antigenic components of the Borrelia spirochete are fractionated by Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in the presence of Sodium Dodecylsulfate. The separated proteins are electrophoretically transferred from the gel to nitrocellulose membranes, which are subsequently blocked to minimize non-specific binding and cut into strips. These nitrocellulose strips with Borrelia burgdorferi antigens are then reacted with diluted serum and controls (positive and negative sera of defined reactivity) during an incubation period. During the incubation period, human antibodies specific to the B. burgdorferi antigens, if present in the sample or control, will bind to the antigen to which they have affinity. Unbound serum and non-specific antibodies are washed from the strip. Detection of bound IgG antibodies is accomplished by reacting and incubating the strips with a solution anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline containing phosphatase. Unbound conjugate antibodies are removed by washing. The qualitative assessment of the detected IgG antibodies is then accomplished by the reaction of the alkaline phosphatase with a chemical substrate, which is cleaved into a colored, insoluble product that can be visualized. The determination of the reactivity of each unknown specimen is accomplished by comparison of the identified, visualized bands to the Band Identifying and Band Intensity Controls.

No
The device description details a traditional Western Blot assay based on biochemical reactions and visual interpretation of bands. There is no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test designed to provide supportive evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi by detecting antibodies in human serum samples. It is not intended for treatment or prevention of disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for use in testing human serum samples... to provide supportive evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi." This directly indicates its use in aiding in the diagnosis of Lyme disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory assay involving physical components, chemical reactions, and visual interpretation of results on nitrocellulose strips. This is a hardware-based diagnostic test, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for "testing human serum samples" to provide "supportive evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi." This involves analyzing a biological sample (serum) outside of the body to diagnose or provide information about a disease state.
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory assay (Western Blot) that involves reacting human serum with antigens and detecting antibodies. This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic procedure.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical trials and performance metrics (specificity, sensitivity, precision, reproducibility) based on testing human serum samples. This is standard for demonstrating the performance of an IVD.

The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissues to detect diseases or other conditions. This device clearly fits that definition.

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

The characterized samples used for the establishment of Substantial Equivalence have a clinical diagnosis of Lyme Disease based on the probability of exposure/infection (tick bite and/or patient presence in potential tick habitats in an endemic region within 30 days prior to the onset of EM (erythema migrans)), Borrelia isolation by culture (where possible), or, for non-EM patients, the presentation of Late Lyme clinical manifestations (e.g., cardiac, joint-involvement, or neurological symptoms).

Each of the clinical trial sites provided specimens that were wellcharacterized by the site using Lyme-specific serological analyses, including EIA and Western Blot testing.

Substantial equivalence of this device is based on the assessment of performance of the device in these clinical trials in which the wellcharacterized, archived Lyme Disease specimens, the Centers for Disease Control Lyme Disease Serum Panel, normal donor specimens (from endemic and non-endemic regions), and samples from diverse disease conditions were analyzed.

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

Specificity Study: Specificity of the device was determined from analysis of testing results of normal donor (from endemic and non-endemic regions) and disease specimens (1062 total samples) and was shown to be 100%, with 95% confidence intervals of 99.8% to 100.0%.

Sensitivity Study: Sensitivity of the device was determined from analysis of test results of characterized Lyme disease specimens (287 total samples) that were drawn at different times after onset of disease. The specimens were taken from 169 individual patients. Second draws were done on 92 of the 169 patients, third draws were done on 36 of those patients. The specimens from patients under antibiotic treatment may interfere with positive results. Ten specimens that were tested for IgM, were not tested for IgG due to insufficient sample.
Sensitivity results are tabulated by disease presentation (Before Treatment, After Treatment, Lyme Late) and draw time in months. For "Before Treatment" group, sensitivity was 21% (95% CL: 12.6-28.7%). For "After Treatment" group, sensitivity was 19% (95% CL: 12.2-25.9%). For "Lyme Late" group, sensitivity was 88% (95% CL: 78.8-96.2%).

Precision Study: Six IgG Controls were tested in duplicate on each of three days at three test sites, totaling 18 replicates per control for all sites. All three sites were in 100% agreement for the disposition of the six IgG Controls. Additionally, all three sites were in 92% agreement as to the presentation of the IgG diagnostic band.

Reproducibility Study: Ten positive and negative specimens from the CDC 47-member panel were tested at four sites. There was 100% agreement for the IgG disposition scores with the 20 specimens at all four sites. Eighty seven point five percent (87.5%) of the ten diagnostic bands of all 20 specimens were scored identically at all four test sites. In addition, a 94% overall agreement was shown between the scoring of positive lgG bands by the sites and the expected IgG band score results.
Site 1: Correct Bands 86/101 (85%), Correct Interpretations 20/20 (100%).
Site 2: Correct Bands 98/101 (97%), Correct Interpretations 20/20 (100%).
Site 3: Correct Bands 97/101 (96%), Correct Interpretations 20/20 (100%).
Site 4: Correct Bands 97/101 (96%), Correct Interpretations 20/20 (100%).
Total: Correct Bands 378/404 (94%), Correct Interpretations 80/80 (100%).

Determination of Threshold Intensity: The threshold determination was originally performed by analysis of IgG sensitivity and specificity panels. The intensity of weakly reactive Lyme antibody-positive samples (n = 5) were compared to the intensities of highly reactive Lyme antibody-negative samples (n = 5) in preclinical testing to demonstrate that the threshold appropriately differentiated positive and negative specimens. The negative specimens included normal donor samples only. Subsequent lots of the Control have been approved based on continued demonstration of this characteristic.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Specificity: 100%, with 95% confidence intervals of 99.8% to 100.0%.
Sensitivity:
Before Treatment: 21% (95% CL: 12.6-28.7%)
After Treatment: 19% (95% CL: 12.2-25.9%)
Lyme Late: 88% (95% CL: 78.8-96.2%)

3. Claim of Substantial Equivalence

The characterized samples used for the establishment of Substantial Equivalence have a clinical diagnosis of Lyme Disease based on the probability of exposure/infection (tick bite and/or patient presence in potential tick habitats in an endemic region within 30 days prior to the onset of EM (erythema migrans)), Borrelia isolation by culture (where possible), or, for non-EM patients, the presentation of Late Lyme clinical manifestations (e.g., cardiac, joint-involvement, or neurological symptoms).

Each of the clinical trial sites provided specimens that were wellcharacterized by the site using Lyme-specific serological analyses, including EIA and Western Blot testing.

Substantial equivalence of this device is based on the assessment of performance of the device in these clinical trials in which the wellcharacterized, archived Lyme Disease specimens, the Centers for Disease Control Lyme Disease Serum Panel, normal donor specimens (from endemic and non-endemic regions), and samples from diverse disease conditions were analyzed.

4. Description

The device is a Western Blot assay. Proteins and other antigenic components of the Borrelia spirochete are fractionated by Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in the presence of Sodium Dodecylsulfate. The separated proteins are electrophoretically transferred from the gel to nitrocellulose membranes, which are subsequently blocked to minimize non-specific binding and cut into strips. These nitrocellulose strips with Borrelia burgdorferi antigens are then reacted with diluted serum and controls (positive and negative sera of defined reactivity) during an incubation period.

During the incubation period, human antibodies specific to the B. burgdorferi antigens, if present in the sample or control, will bind to the

2

antigen to which they have affinity. Unbound serum and non-specific antibodies are washed from the strip. Detection of bound IgG antibodies is accomplished by reacting and incubating the strips with a solution anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline containing phosphatase. Unbound conjugate antibodies are removed by washing. The qualitative assessment of the detected IgG antibodies is then accomplished by the reaction of the alkaline phosphatase with a chemical substrate, which is cleaved into a colored, insoluble product that can be visualized. The determination of the reactivity of each unknown specimen is accomplished by comparison of the identified, visualized bands to the Band Identifying and Band Intensity Controls.

    1. Intended Use
      The Cambridge Biotech Human Lyme B. burgdorferi IgG Western Blot is intended for use in testing human serum samples which have demonstrated positive or equivocal responses using EIA or IFA test procedures to provide supportive evidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi.

The Cambridge Biotech Human Lyme B. burgdorferi IgG Western Blot can be used at any time following onset of symptoms. It should also be used for follow up when (1) only IgM antibodies were originally detected, (2) lgG antibodies were detected but were not considered significant, or (3) previously tested seronegative individuals are shown to develop antibodies by EIA or IFA test procedures.

    1. Performance Summary
