Autoantibodies directed against phospholipids, and anti-cardiolipin (aCL) in particular, have been associated with recurrent thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and spontaneous abortions. Detection of these autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of such disorders. The Zeus Scientific, Inc. anti-Cardiolipin IgM ELISA Test System is an automated or manually operated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the semi-quantitative measurement of circulating IgM autoantibodies to cardiolipin. This test is for in vitro diagnostic use.

The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the "Aptus (Automated) Application for the Anti-Cardiolipin IgM ELISA Test System." This document grants market clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing a detailed study report with specific acceptance criteria, device performance, and ground truth establishment as would be found in a clinical trial report.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment is not available within the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter.
This type of document confirms that the device has met the regulatory requirements for market entry by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device. It does not typically include the raw data or detailed performance study results that would be used to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner requested.
§ 866.5660 Multiple autoantibodies immunological test system.
(a)
Identification. A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
