No
The summary describes a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibodies. While it mentions an automated processor (MAGO Plus), there is no indication that this processor or the test itself utilizes AI or ML for analysis or interpretation. The performance studies focus on traditional metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and agreement, not metrics typically associated with AI/ML model evaluation.

No

Explanation: The device is for qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of antibodies to determine prior exposure or stage of infection, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat, cure, or mitigate any disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is for "detection of IgG antibodies to Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)... to determine a prior exposure to VZV and... to aid in the determination of acute or convalescent stage of VZV infection," all of which are diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test system, which involves physical reagents and laboratory procedures, not solely software. While it can be used with an automated processor (MAGO® Plus), the core device itself is a biological assay kit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "For the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) in human serum by indirect immunoassay...". This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a human specimen (serum) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it is an "enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to VZV antigen in human serum". This further reinforces that it's a laboratory test performed on a biological sample.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies involving testing human serum samples to evaluate the device's accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, agreement) compared to other methods. This is characteristic of the validation required for IVD devices.

§ 866.3900 Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Varicella-zoster virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to varicella-zoster in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by varicella-zoster viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Varicella (chicken pox) is a mild, highly infectious disease, chiefly of children. Zoster (shingles) is the recurrent form of the disease, occurring in adults who were previously infected with varicella-zoster viruses. Zoster is the response (characterized by a rash) of the partially immune host to a reactivation of varicella viruses present in latent form in the patient's body.(b)

Diamedix VZVMicroassay

Device Description: The Is-VZV IgG Test System is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to VZV antigen in human serum

Intended Use: The assay is intended for use in detecting IgG antibodies to VZV antigen in human serum. The results of the assay can be used to determine a prior exposure to VZV and, when evaluating paired sera, to aid in the determination of acute or convalescent stage of VZV infection.

Principle of the Procedure:

The Is-VZV IgG Test System is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect IgG to VZV in human serum. Partially purified VZV antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Diluted test sera are added to each well. If antibodies which recognize the VZV antigen are present in the patient sample they will bind to the antigen on the well. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled anti-human immunoglobulin (conjugate) is added to each test well. If antibody is present the enzyme-linked antibody will bind to it. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is then added to each well. If enzyme is present from the prior step, the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically producing an indirect measure of the specific antibody present in the patient sample.

АТТАСНМ

A. Comparison Testing

A total of six hundred and fifty-two sera were tested for the presence of VZV IgG antibodies using the Diamedix Is-VZV IgG Test Kit and another commercially available EIA test kit at two independent sites (site #1, Miami, FL and site #2, Salt Lake City, Utah) as well as at Diamedix Corp., Miami FL (site #3). At site #3, testing was performed both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated EIA processor.

Site #1 tested 200 sera (all frozen). Samples were obtained from the S. Florida area. Thirty-seven of the samples were obtained from males, including 5 children, and ninety-seven from females. Of the 97 samples from females, 46 (47%) were of child-bearing age (18-45 years). No age or gender data was available on the remaining samples. Table 1 compares the results obtained for the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit and their currently used testing method.

Site #2 tested 198 sera (all fresh). Samples were obtained from the Mid-West region. Fifty-eight of the samples were obtained from males, including 6 children, and one hundred and twenty-seven from females, including one child. Of the 127 samples from females, 107 (84%) were of child-bearing age (18-45 years). No age or gender data was available on the remaining samples.

For site #3 (manual testing), the two samples that were positive by the ls-VZV IgG and negative by the other EIA were negative by a referee ElA method. For the three samples that were negative in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit and positive by the other EIA one was negative, one was equivocal and one was possive in the referee method. For MAGO Plus testing the five samples that were positive in the Is-VZV IgG and negative by the other EIA were negative in the referee EIA method. The sample that was negative in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit and positive by the other EIA was negative in the referee EIA method.

NOTE: Please be advised that 'relative' refers to the comparison of the assay's results to that of a similar assay. There was not an attempt to correlate the assay's results with disease presence or absence. No judgment can be made on the comparison assay's accuracy to predict disease.

B. Correlation of Manual and MAGO Plus Results

The Diamedix Is-VZV IgG Test System has been developed for use both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor. To further demonstrate the equivalence of the manual and MAGO Plus procedures, the results of the 253 serum samples tested by both methods were plotted. A scattergram and regression line of the results obtained with 95% confidence intervals is shown in Figure 1 and demonstrates good correlation.

Image /page/2/Figure/4 description: The image is a scatter plot titled "FIGURE 1". The x-axis is labeled "MANUAL EU/ml", and the y-axis is labeled "MAGO Plus EU/ml". The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between the two variables. The equation of the line of best fit is given as Slope: 1.200, Intercept: 3.835, and Corr. Coeff. (r): 0.972.

C. Linearity

Several strongly positive serum specimens as well as the in-house standard were dilutions were assayed in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated Processor. Re values for the samples ranged from 0.972 to 0.999 The titration curve of the in-house standard, manually and by MAGO Plus, is shown in Figure 2. The results demonstrate a high degree of linearity throughout the reportable range of the assay.

Image /page/2/Figure/7 description: The image is a graph titled "FIGURE 2" that compares the EU/ml of Manual and MAGO Plus at different dilutions. The x-axis represents the dilution, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, while the y-axis represents the EU/ml, ranging from 0.0 to 120.0. The graph shows that both Manual and MAGO Plus have a positive correlation between dilution and EU/ml. The equation for Manual is Y = 95.763 X + 4.961 with an R-squared value of 0.998, and the equation for MAGO Plus is Y = 90.449 X + 12.252 with an R-squared value of 0.984.

The linearity/dynamic range of the assay was determined to be 20-100 EU/ml

D. Semi-Quantitative Data

Serum pairs were obtained by preparing multiple serial 2-fold dilutions of several strongly positive sera. Ratios for dilutions representing a four-fold and two fold difference in antibody level were evaluated as a serum pair both manually and using the MAGO Plus. The overall mean ratio obtained for 4-fold dilutions was 3.13 (SD 0.35) and the overall mean ratio obtained for 2-fold dilutions was 1.77 (SD 0.15). Overall, it was estimated a ratio of 2.8-fold or greater (mean ratio minus 1 SD) increase in Is-VZV IgG EU/ml values corresponded to a four-fold incease in VZV IgG antibody levels. A ratio in the range of 1.8 to 2.8 was considered equivocal for significant increase determination.

E. Cross Reactivity

Sera containing IgG antibodies to viruses potentially cross-reactive to VZV have been tested in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit. Thirteen sera negative for antibodies to VZV in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit as well as in another marketed test were positive for antibodes to one or more viruses. The data in the following table indicate that no cross-reactivity should be expected with the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit from these analytes.

F. Precision

Six serum samples as well as the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit Calibrator, Positive Control and Negative Control, were assayed, in triplicate in three separate runs for site #1 and in six separate runs for site #3. The precision studies were performed manually at the two outside testing sites (site #1 and site #3 (Diamedix Corp.) both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated EIA processor. The results obtained are shown in Tables 6-10.

Expected Values

The prevalence of VZV antibodies can vary depending on age, geographical location, socio-economic status, race and vaccine usage. The prevalence of VZV antibodies generally varies from about 15% positive in 2 year olds to about 95% in persons over 40 years of age. Sera from 100 healthy South Florida blood donors (52 female and 48 male) were evaluated in the Is-VZV IgG Test Kit. Of the 100 samples, 92 were found to be reactive (positive), 6 were found to be non-reactive (negative) and 2 sera were equivocal. Age distribution, geographic location and prevalence is provided in Table 11. Histograms demonstrating the distribution of EU/ml values are shown in Figures 3 and 4.
