Intended Use
This test system is for in vitro diagnostic use for the detection of antinuclear antibodies in human serum, with specific identification of autoantibodies to the SS-A/Ro antigen. This test system is to be used as an aid in the detection of antibodies associated with systemic rheumatic disease. The results from this assay can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of autoimune diseases.
Device Description
This is an indirect fluorescent antibody test for the semi-quantitative detection of antinuclear antibody in human serum. The transfected HEP-2 cell line allows for the identification of anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies because of the unique staining pattern that these antibodies show on this cell line.
More Information

No
The description details a traditional indirect fluorescent antibody test and does not mention any computational analysis of images or data using AI/ML. The performance studies describe manual interpretation of staining patterns.

No.

This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test system used to detect antinuclear antibodies as an aid in diagnosing autoimmune diseases. IVDs are used to analyze samples from the body, not to directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states "This test system is for in vitro diagnostic use" and "The results from this assay can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of autoimune diseases," indicating its purpose is to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "indirect fluorescent antibody test" and mentions "transfected HEP-2 cell line" and "slides," indicating it is a physical test system involving biological reagents and microscopy, not solely software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "This test system is for in vitro diagnostic use for the detection of antinuclear antibodies in human serum... The results from this assay can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of autoimune diseases."

This language clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used outside of the body (in vitro) to examine human specimens (serum) for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis of a disease (autoimmune diseases).

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

HORMAL SAMPLES
Sera from 500 healthy blood donors, 242 females and 258 males, none of whom had any known history of rheumatic diseases, were tested in parallel using commercially available, non-transfected HEp-2 cells and the EEp-2000@ Fluorescent ANA-Ro Test System. In this population, 36 samples (7.2%) showed positive antinuclear antibody tests at a 1:40 dilution of serum. Patterns of staining were identical on the two substrates for 34 of the 36 positive samples. The two samples that showed differences were both from female patients, and both were confirmed to contain anti-SS-A/Ro antibodies. One of these samples showed a weak fine speckled reaction on the non-transfected HBp-2 cells and the typical "SS-A/Ro" staining on the HEP-2000® Pluorescent ANA-Ro Test System. The other sample was negative on the non-transfected HBp-2 cells, but showed typical "SS-A/Ro" staining on the HEp-2000® Fluorescent ANA-Ro Test System. The SS-A/Ro specificity of these two samples was confirmed by BLISA testing and by Western immunoblotting.

SERA FROM PATIENTS WITH ONLY Ro/SS-A ANTIBODIES
Sera from 46 patients with SLB or Sjögren's Syndrome were tested using commercially available, non-transfected HEp-2 cells and the HEp-2000@ Fluorescent ANA-Ro Test System. All of these sera were confirmed to contain antibodies to the SS-A/Ro autoantigen by ELISA testing and by Western immunoblotting. No other autoantibodies were detected in any of these samples. Thirty six of these samples (78%) were positive (speckled pattern) with the non-transfected HEp-2 cells, and all 46 (100%) were positive (distinctive Ro/SS-A staining pattern) with the HEP-20000 Fluorescent ANA-Ro Test System.

SERA FROM PATIENTS WITH AUTOANTIBODIES OTHER THAN 88-A/RO
Serum samples from 230 patients with a variety of rheumatic and non-rheumatic diseases were tested in parallel using commercially available, non-transfected HEp-2 cells and the HEp-2000@ Fluorescent ANA-Ro Test System. A single staining pattern was seen with 120 samples, and mixed patterns were seen with 110 samples. Among the total population of 230 samples, 333 staining patterns were identical on both substrates. Twenty nine samples showed the distinctive "SS-A/Ro" staining pattern on the HBp-2000@ Test System. Twenty three of these samples showed speckled patterns on the non-transfected HEp-2 cells. The six discrepant samples (positive on HEp-20000, but negative on nontransfected HEp-2 cells) all had SS-A/Ro antibodies, as demonstrated by the distinctive "SS-A/Ro" staining pattern, ELISA tests, and Western blot confirmation.

TITER COMPARISONS
Because of the overexpression of the SS-A/Ro autoantigen in the HEp-2000® cells, samples that contain anti-Ro/SS-A antibodies show higher titer values on these cells than the values obtained on non-transfected HBp-2 cells. Since none of the other autoantigens in the HBp-2000® cells are affected by the transfection process, sera with other autoantibody specificities do not show significant titer differences between the transfected HER-2000® cell line and non-transfected HEp-2 cells.

TITER REPRODUCIBILITY
Ten samples, chosen from CDC controls and other well characterized in-house sera, were run on three different lot numbers of HED-2000® slides, on three different occasions. In no case did a negative sample show positive results. All titer values were within one two-fold dilution of the established mean titer value for all samples tested.

CONFIRMATION OF 88-A/RO ANTIBODIES
In a large rheumatology reference laboratory, serum samples from 349 patients with known positive ANA tests were assayed using the HBp-2000® Fluorescent Teat System. In this selected population, 239 samples showed the distinctive SS-A/Ro staining pattern. Positive ELISA tests for SS-A/Ro antibodies were obtained in 238 (99.68) of these samples. An additional 79 samples showed strong speckled and/or homogeneous patterns, but gave positive ELISA tests for SS-A/Ro antibodies.. Thus, if the distinctive SS-A/Ro pattern is seen, it is confirmatory for the presence of SS-A/Ro antibodies, but the absence of the pattern does not rule out the possible presence of SS-A/Ro antibodies.
In the studies outlined above, we have examined a total of 429 sera that contain SS-A/Ro antibodies as confirmed by ELISA testing and/or Western Immunoblots, and which showed the distinctive SS-A/Ro staining pattern on the transfected HEp-2000® cell line. We have also seen samples which contain SS-A/Ro antibodies, but do not display the distinctive SS-A/Ro staining pattern, because high levels of other autoantibodies (usually anti-DNA antibodies or anti-Sm/RNP antibodies) mask the SS-A/Ro pattern. Thus, if the distinctive SS-A/Ro pattern is seen, it is confirmatory for the presence of SS-A/Ro antibodies, but the absence of the pattern does not rule out the possible presence of SS-A/Ro antibodies.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device: This device is a fluorescent antibody test for the detection of antinuclear antibodies. This 510(k) submission is an extension of K944096. In this new submission we have shown that the transfected HEp-2000® cell line produces a distinctive pattern that is confirmatory for the presence of antibodies to the SS-A/Ro autoantigen.
