EliA M2 is intended for the in vitro semi-quantitative measurement of IgG antibodies directed to M2 in human serum and plasma (Li-heparin, EDTA) to aid in the clinical diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. EliA M2 uses the EliA IgG method on the instrument Phadia 2500/5000.
Device Story
EliA M2 is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for detecting IgG antibodies against M2 protein in human serum or plasma. The device uses polystyrene wells coated with native pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and recombinant M2-antigen. Patient samples are processed on the Phadia 2500/5000 automated instrument system. The assay follows an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle: patient antibodies bind to the coated antigen; enzyme-labeled anti-IgG conjugate is added; after washing, a development solution is added to produce a fluorescent signal proportional to the concentration of specific IgG. The system automatically measures fluorescence and compares results against a calibration curve. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel to aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis. Results are interpreted by clinicians alongside other laboratory and clinical findings to support patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision study (n=84 replicates per sample) showed total imprecision (%CV) ranging from 6.2% to 15.8%. Linearity was confirmed across the reportable range (0.5–220 U/mL). Instrument comparison (n=103 samples) between Phadia 250 and Phadia 2500/5000 showed high correlation (Passing-Bablok slope 1.04, R=0.995) and 99% total percent agreement. Reference range study (n=400 healthy donors) established a 95th percentile of 1.9 U/mL.

Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antimitochondrial antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of diseases that produce a spectrum of autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissue), such as primary biliary cirrhosis (degeneration of liver tissue) and chronic active hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).

L. Test Principle:
EliA tests are fluorescence immunoassays for the detection and measurement of human antibodies based on EliA solid-phase components, which contain specific antigens for the antibodies to be measured.
EliA M2: Polystyrene EliA wells are coated with native pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from mitochondria and recombinant M2-antigen. If present in the patient's specimen, antibodies to M2 bind to their specific antigen. After washing away non-bound antibodies, enzyme-labeled antibodies against human IgG antibodies (EliA IgG Conjugate) are added to form an antibody-conjugate complex. After incubation, non-bound conjugate is washed away and the bound complex is incubated with a Development Solution. After stopping the reaction, the fluorescence in the reaction mixture is measured. The higher the value of fluorescent signal, the higher the amount of antibody bound and detected in the sample tested. To evaluate test results, the response for patient samples is compared directly to the response for calibrators.

Phadia 2500/5000: The Phadia 2500 and Phadia 5000 instruments are automated platforms for EliA test procedures from sample and reagent handling up to processing of results.
## M. Performance Characteristics:
### 1. Analytical performance:
All results presented below met the manufacturer's pre-determined acceptance criteria for all analytical performance studies.
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The precision of the assay was assessed in a study with a total of 21 runs, one run/day over a period of seven days. Each sample was tested in four replicates/run giving a total of 84 replicates per sample (3 instruments × 7 runs x 4 replicates = 84). The data was calculated against the calibration curve from Day 1. Five native patient serum samples were tested: one negative, two in the equivocal range, and two positive specimens. All samples were tested on all three Phadia 2500/5000 instruments.
One lot of EliA M2 reagents was used in the study because inter-lot-variation was determined in the predicate device K141375. The results for all three instruments are summarized in the table below:
| Mean (U/mL) | Within-Run | | Between-Run | | Between-Instrument | | Total Imprecision | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| 1.7 | 0.1 | 7.3 | 0.1 | 4.8 | 0.2 | 13.1 | 0.3 | 15.8 |
| 4.0 | 0.2 | 4.3 | 0.1 | 2.9 | 0.3 | 6.6 | 0.3 | 8.4 |
| 5.9 | 0.2 | 3.7 | 0.1 | 2.5 | 0.3 | 4.2 | 0.4 | 6.2 |
| 74.8 | 2.3 | 3.1 | 1.7 | 2.2 | 4.0 | 5.3 | 4.9 | 6.5 |
| 175.9 | 8.0 | 4.5 | 6.8 | 3.9 | 12.1 | 6.9 | 16.0 | 9.1 |
#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Four patient serum samples were diluted in EliA Sample Diluent and tested in triplicates with one lot of EliA M2 reagents and one set of system reagents on Phadia 2500/5000. The results of the dilutions were compared with their expected values. The ratio observed/expected (O/E) was calculated. Mean observed value was used in the calculation. The results of the linear regression analysis are summarized below:
| Sample | Dilution range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² | %CV Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 0.7 – 48.3 | 0.99 (0.97 to 1.01) | -0.32 (-0.78 to 0.14) | 1.00 | 1.2 – 5.4 |
{6}
| Sample | Dilution range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² | %CV Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2 | 2.1 – 211.3 | 1.02 (0.99 to 1.05) | 1.90 (-1.01 to 4.81) | 1.00 | 0.5 – 3.5 |
| 3 | 5.7 – 253.2 | 1.03 (0.97 to 1.08) | 2.36 (-3.78 to 8.5) | 1.00 | 2.1 – 6.6 |
| 4 | 0.5 – 16.6 | 1.02 (0.98 to 1.07) | 0.13 (-0.18 to 0.44) | 1.00 | 1.0 – 4.1 |
The reportable range (Limit of Detection to upper limit) is from 0.5 to 220 U/mL. The measuring range (Limit of Quantitation to upper limit) is from 0.8 to 220 U/mL.
The following statements are included in the package insert: "Please note that concentration values between LoD and LoQ may show a higher uncertainty" and "Please note that due to differing binding characteristics of the antibodies in patient samples, not all sera can be diluted linearly within the measuring range."
High dose hook effect: The hook effect was previously reviewed in K141375.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
i) Traceability:
The EliA IgG calibration method and traceability was previously reviewed in K141375.
Controls:
Controls are sold separately from the assay. The EliA M2 Positive is prepared from selected pooled human sera and contains IgG antibodies to M2. The EliA IgG/IgM/IgA Negative Control is prepared from selected pooled sera from normal, healthy donors. The controls are pre-diluted and ready for use. Each EliA Control package contains a Control Certificate listing predefined acceptance criteria for the EliA products the Controls can be used with.
ii) Kit Stability:
Shelf-life stability, open-stability and on-board stability were previously reviewed in K141375.
d. Detection limit:
The limit of blank (LoB) is based on 72 blank replicates (1 blank sample tested in 12 replicates × one run/day × six days). The limit of detection (LoD) is based on 72 replicates (12 replicates × one run/day × six days) for each of the five low-level serum samples tested. The limit of quantitation (LoQ) is based on the concentration of one of the five low-level serum samples tested with a %CV closest but below the precision target level of 20% CV.
{7}
The results are summarized in the table below:
| | LoB | LoD | LoQ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| EliA M2 (U/mL) | 0.3 | 0.5 | 0.8 |
e. Analytical specificity:
i) Endogenous Interference:
Interference by endogenous substances was previously reviewed in K141375.
ii) Cross-reactivity:
Cross-reactivity was previously reviewed in K141375.
iii) Carry-over:
The Phadia 2500/5000 instruments use disposable tips for pipetting samples and a separate pipette for the conjugate, therefore carry-over from samples to conjugate was not evaluated.
f. Assay cut-off:
The assay cut-offs are the same as in the predicate device (refer to K141375) and are summarized in the table below:
| Assay cut-off | Interpretation |
| --- | --- |
| <4 U/mL | Negative |
| 4 – 6 U/mL | Equivocal |
| >6 U/mL | Positive |

a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Instrument comparison was performed with the predicate device, see 2c. below.
b. Matrix comparison:
Matrix comparison between serum and plasma (Li-Heparin, and EDTA) was reviewed in K141375.
c. Instrument comparison:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate conformance and show comparability of EliA M2 on the Phadia 250 instrument versus the Phadia 2500/5000 instrument. A
