## Indications for Use

The IBL-C1q-CIC test is a quantitative enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro diagnostic detection of circulating immune complex that bind C1q in serum. The measurement is performed as an aid in the diagnosis of various autoimmune and other CIC related diseases. Levels of these complexes are one indicator in a multi-factorial diagnostic regime.

## Device Story

The IBL C1q-CIC EIA is a quantitative enzyme immunoassay (EIA) used to detect circulating immune complexes (CIC) in human serum. The device functions by measuring the binding of CIC to C1q. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained laboratory personnel. The output is a quantitative measurement of CIC levels, which serves as one indicator within a multi-factorial diagnostic regime for autoimmune and CIC-related diseases. The test assists clinicians in the diagnostic process by providing objective data on immune complex levels.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance and method comparison. Precision studies (intra-assay CV 7.6-10.7%, inter-assay CV 5.4-15.5%) and method comparison against the predicate (N=80) showed 93.7% relative sensitivity, 98.4% relative specificity, and 97.5% overall agreement. Analytical specificity confirmed no interference from bilirubin, hemoglobin, or EDTA. Detection limit is 10 ug/mL.

## Technological Characteristics

Solid-phase ELISA; sandwich principle. Components: monoclonal anti-C1q antibody-coated microtiter plates, monoclonal anti-human IgG-HRP conjugate, TMB substrate. Requires microtiter plate reader (450 nm). Manual assay format. Serum sample matrix.

## Regulatory Identification

A complement components immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques complement components C1q , C1r , C1s , C2 , C3 , C4 , C5 , C6 , C7 , C8 , and C9 , in serum, other body fluids, and tissues. Complement is a group of serum proteins which destroy infectious agents. Measurements of these proteins aids in the diagnosis of immunologic disorders, especially those associated with deficiencies of complement components.

J. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable): NA

K. Test Principle:

Solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the sandwich principle. The wells are coated with an antibody, directed towards an epitope of an antigen molecule. The antigen of the sample is incubated in the coated well with enzyme conjugated second antibody (E-Ab), directed towards a different region of the antigen molecule. After the substrate reaction, the intensity of the developed color is proportional to the amount of the antigen. Results of samples can be determined directly using the standard curve.

L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Studies were performed using 5 sera samples, 4 positives and 1 negative.

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
The value of the standards was determined against the predicate Scimedx kit. An optimal level of 100 ug/mL was used. New batch of standards were tested against previously approved batches. Controls were run in the assay, typically on three batches of plates, and assign an acceptable range based on the mean +/- 2 standard deviations.

Bilirubin up to 0.25 g/L, hemoglobin up to 10 g/L and EDTA up to 10 mM do not have a significant effect on the test results.

A statement regarding potential interferences (heterophile antibodies) is included in the Limitations Section.

f. Assay cut-off:
&lt;40 ug/mL The grey zone was established on the basis of 2 and 3 SDs of the mean of the normal population. ROC analysis was also performed, with the summary results shown in the following table:
