I. Device Description:

HemoSIL AcuStar Anti-Cardiolipin (aCL) IgG is a chemiluminescent two-step immunoassay consisting of magnetic particles coated with cardiolipin and human purified β2GPI which capture, if present, the aCL antiphospholipid antibodies from the sample. After incubation, magnetic separation and a wash step, a tracer consisting of an isoluminol-labeled anti-human IgG antibody is added and may bind with the captured aCL IgG on the particles. After a second incubation, magnetic separation, and wash step, reagents that trigger the luminescent reaction are added, and the emitted light is measured as relative light units (RLUs) by the ACL AcuStar optical system. The RLUs are directly proportional to the aCL IgG concentration in the sample.

The ACL AcuStar aCL IgG assay utilizes a 4 Parameter Logistic Curve (4PLC) fit data reduction method to generate a Master Curve. The Master Curve is predefined and lot dependent and it is stored in the instrument through the cartridge barcode. With the measurement of calibrators, the predefined Master Curve is transformed to a new, instrument specific 4PLC Working Curve. The concentration values of the calibrators are included in the calibrator tube barcodes.

The aCL IgG kit consists of:

- aCL IgG Cartridge for 50 determinations: 1 cartridge containing 1 vial of magnetic particle suspension coated with bovine cardiolipin and human purified β2GPI, 1 vial of assay buffer, 1 vial of tracer consisting of an anti-human IgG antibody labeled with isoluminol, and 1 vial of sample diluent used for regular predilution of the sample and automated dilution in the rerun. The reagents are in a phosphate or borate buffer containing bovine serum albumin, bovine cardiolipin, human β2GPI, mouse monoclonal IgG, stabilizers, and preservative.
- aCL IgG Calibrator 1: 1 × 1 mL barcoded tube of a solution with aCL IgG in saline solution containing bovine fetal serum, stabilizers and preservative.
- aCL IgG Calibrator 2: 1 × 1 mL barcoded tube of a solution with aCL IgG in saline solution containing bovine fetal serum, stabilizers and preservative.

L. Test Principle:
The test is a chemiluminescent two-step immunoassay consisting of magnetic particles coated with cardiolipin and human purified $\beta_{2}\mathrm{GPI}$ which capture, if present, the aCL antiphospholipid antibodies from the sample. After incubation, magnetic separation, and a wash step, a tracer consisting of an isoluminol-labeled anti-human IgG (or anti-human IgM, as appropriate) is added and may bind with the captured aCL IgG (or IgM) on the particles. After a second incubation, magnetic separation, and wash step, reagents that trigger the luminescent reaction are added, and the emitted light is measured as relative light units (RLUs) by the ACL AcuStar optical system. The RLUs are directly proportional to the aCL IgG (or IgM) concentration in

{5}

the sample. The instrument utilizes a 4 Parameter Logistic Curve (4PLC) fit data reduction method to generate a master curve.

The Low Controls are intended for the assessment of precision and accuracy of the assay at normal or around cut-off levels of aCL antibody. The High Controls are intended for assessment of precision and accuracy of the assay at abnormally high antibody levels.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

When the rerun capability of the instrument is activated, the instrument makes an automatic dilution and corrects the final result for the dilution factor (20x), thereby expanding the test range 20-fold.

HemosIL™ AcuStar Anti-Cardiolipin IgG

|   | Value  |
| --- | --- |
|  Linearity (Rerun Off) | 2.6 – 2024 U/mL  |

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): An international reference material for anti-cardiolipin antibodies is not available. The assay is calibrated in relative arbitrary units (U/mL).

{7}

The two calibrator values are assigned using in-house standards and a four-parameter Master Curve. The assignment values of the two calibrators are used to create a lot-specific four-parameter logistic curve, using two stored parameters from the Master Curve and two lot-specific parameters based on the calibrator values.

Control values assignments are performed using two QC approved batches of reagents (with corresponding calibrators) and two different ACL AcuStar instruments. The controls are analyzed in replicates of 10 on both instruments, then the batches of reagent are switched between instruments and the controls are re-analyzed.

Stability studies were performed that support a shelf-life of 15 months at 2-8°C storage for the HemosIL AcuStar Anti-Cardiolipin IgG and the HemosIL AcuStar Anti-Cardiolipin IgM reagent cartridges, as well as calibrators and controls for both assays.

The on-board stability of the reagent cartridge after opening on the AcuStar System was demonstrated to be at least 6 weeks. On-board stability of calibrators was shown to be 3.5h. A comparison of fresh and frozen samples showed no difference in the performance of these samples in the assay.

d. Detection limit:

The Limit of Detection (LOD) was determined to be 2.6 U/mL for the aCL IgG assay and 1.0 U/mL for the aCL IgM assay. The LOD was determined using the procedure described in CLSI EP17-A.

e. Analytical specificity:

Interference studies were performed using negative and positive samples, as well as a sample with results close to the assay cutoff. No significant interference was observed for either the HemoSIL AcuStar aCL IgG or IgM assay with hemoglobin (up to 500 mg/dL), bilirubin (complexed and free, 18 mg/dL), triglycerides (1250 mg/dL), rheumatoid factor (800 IU/mL), LMW heparin (2 IU/mL), and unfractionated heparin (2 IU/mL). Recoveries were all in the range 96-103%.

The analytical specificities of the two kits were also evaluated by testing 30 defined serum samples, 10 positive for Rheumatoid Factor (RF), 10 positive for Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) and 10 positive for Syphilis by the rapid plasma reagin test (RPR). One ANA sample gave a positive result on both the HemoSIL AcuStar aCL IgG and IgM test. None of the RF or RPR samples were positive on the AcuStar aCL tests.

f. Assay cut-off:

252 citrated plasma samples obtained from apparently healthy blood donors were tested in the HemoSIL AcuStar Anti-Cardiolipin IgG and IgM assays. Based on the recommendations of the International Committee in Sydney, the threshold for positive aCL IgG and IgM antibodies was established in the 99th percentile. The cut-off for both assays was set at 20 U/mL.
