Intended Use
The Varelisa® ReCombi ANA Screen EIA kit is designed for the qualitative determination of eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases such as SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), Scleroderma (Progressive Systemic Sclerosis), MCTD (Mixed Connective Tissue Disease), SS (Sjögren's Syndrome) and Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis. The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen detects antibodies against dsDNA, RNP(68kDa, A, C), Sm(B,B',D) SS-A/Ro(52kDa, 60kDa), SS-B/La, Scl-70, Centromere and Jo-1 in a single microwell.
Device Description
The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies in serum or plasma. Designed as a screen assay, it detects 8 antinuclear antibodies in a single microwell. The determination of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. The presence of ANA suggests the possibility of rheumatic autoimmune diseases. These diseases include Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis, Scleroderma, Sjögren's Syndrome and Mixed Connective Tissue Diseases. Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay. The wells of a microplate are coated with human recombinant, native affinity purified nuclear antigens and dsDNA. Antibodies specific for the nuclear antigens present in a patient sample bind to these antigens. In a second step the enzyme labeled second antibody (Conjugate) binds to the antigenantibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled antigen-antibody sandwich complex. The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution. The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of Conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.

The description details a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) process for detecting antibodies. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis beyond basic quantitative measurement and correlation studies.

No.
This device is designed for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit is "designed for the qualitative determination of eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases".

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical kit involving microplates coated with antigens, enzyme-labeled antibodies (conjugate), and a substrate that produces a colored solution. This is a laboratory-based immunoassay kit, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the kit is designed for the "qualitative determination of eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases." This clearly indicates that the device is intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples (serum or plasma) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details an "enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative determination of antinuclear antibodies in serum or plasma." This further confirms that the device is used to perform tests on biological samples in vitro.
  • Mechanism: The description of the immunoassay process (binding of antibodies to antigens in a microwell, use of an enzyme-labeled second antibody, and color formation) is characteristic of in vitro diagnostic tests.

The core function of the device is to analyze a biological sample (serum or plasma) in vitro to provide information that aids in the diagnosis of diseases. This aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

A correlation study was performed comparing the new device. Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen Assay, to the predicate device, Varelisa ANA-8-Screen. 129 samples, including 10 ANA Human Reference Sera and 20 apparently healthy blood donors were assayed using both tests.

Seven monospecific sera, equivocal and positive for dsDNA-Ab in the Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen were excluded from the evaluation of the agreement between the assays. It is an expected result that these 7 sera would test positive with the new device and negative with the predicate device because the new device, Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen contains antigens for the detection of dsDNA, whereas the predicate device, Varelisa ANA-8-Screen, does not detect the presence of dsDNA antibodies. With the elimination of the 7 dsDNA positive sera, the agreement in this study was 97.5% (119 out of 122 (129-7) samples). Three discordant samples were borderline either to the upper or lower limit of the equivocal zone and differ with a maximum of 0.3 Ratio.

A linear regression analysis of these data gives the following equation:

y = 0.91x + 0.05, R^2 = 0.93

The new device Varelisa® ReCombi ANA Screen shows an excellent correlation with the predicate device, Varelisa ANA-8-Screen, and adds the ability to detect antibodies against dsDNA.

Varelisa ReCombi ANA Screen is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay. The wells of a microplate are coated with human recombinant, native affinity purified nuclear antigens and dsDNA. Antibodies specific for the nuclear antigens present in a patient sample bind to these antigens.

In a second step the enzyme labeled second antibody (Conjugate) binds to the antigenantibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled antigen-antibody sandwich complex.

The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution. The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of Conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.
