Indications for Use
The Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip is an in vitro qualitative microarray assay for the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. The assay is intended for testing serum samples from symptomatic patients or those suspected of Lyme Disease. It is intended to detect antibodies to VlsE and multiple other B. burgdorferi antigens following a modified two-tier test methodology. Positive results from the Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip are supportive evidence for the presence of antibodies and exposure to B. burgdorferi, the causative agent for Lyme disease. Negative results do not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient’s clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures as an aid in diagnosis of Lyme disease. The Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip Test must be used with a ViraChip Reader and the ViraChip Software.

Regulatory Classification
Identification
Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), the Treponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies to Treponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Treponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.

IV Device/System Characteristics:
A Device Description:
The Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip Test Kit is a protein microarray assay. A protein microarray can be considered as a modified solid-phase enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Isolated *B. burgdorferi* antigens are bound to a solid phase nitrocellulose support membrane. Purified *B. burgdorferi* VlsE and *B. burgdorferi* antigens with the following molecular weights are used: 93 kDa, 58 kDa, 45 kDa, 39 kDa, 30 kDa, 23 kDa, 21 kDa, 19 kDa, 18 kDa and 17 kDa. The antigens were immobilized as individual spot triplets onto the nitrocellulose membrane. Positions of the spots are exactly defined and can be assigned to the antigen reliably. A negative control (nc), two serum controls (sc), four conjugate controls (ccG and ccM), and six calibrator controls (cal) are also applied to each microarray. One microarray is fixed on the bottom of each cavity of a standard microtiter plate. The cavities are single breakable wells in a holding frame with 96 positions. A schematic of the Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip is shown below.

# B Principle of Operation:
For each test to be performed, the diluted test serum sample is added to one microarray. If specific antibodies that recognize an antigen are present, they will bind to the specific antigens on the microarray. After incubation, the microarray is washed to remove unbound antibodies. Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-human antibodies (conjugate) are then added to each microarray and incubated. If host antibodies are present, the conjugate will bind to the antibodies attached to the specific antigens. The microarray is washed to remove unbound conjugate and the substrate solution is added. If the enzyme/antibody complex is present, the substrate will undergo a precipitation and color change. After an incubation period, the reaction is stopped and the presence of precipitated substrate is visualized at specific locations on the microarray. The presence of a colored precipitation at various locations on the microarray is an indirect measurement of Borrelia burgdorferi specific antibodies in the patient specimen. Visualized spots from the reaction are compared for intensity with the integrated calibrator controls for evaluation.
Spot intensity measurements are performed by the ViraChip Reader and that the assay result is interpreted by the ViraChip Software. The assay result interpretation algorithm is described in the table below. Test results are considered positive if the VlsE spot triplet is positive or equivocal and at least one additional spot triplet is positive. For all test results, the VlsE spots and intensities are shown in the ViraChip Software on the screen, in the print-outs from the ViraChip Software, and in the exported files. All other antigen spots and their corresponding intensities are only reported if the VlsE spot triplet is positive or equivocal. If the VlsE spot triplet is negative, all other antigen spots are masked by white circles.

Interfering Substances: Hemolyzed, lipemic, icteric, or microbially contaminated sera should not be used for testing by the Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip. In addition the effect of elevated bilirubin and triglycerides on test results is not established.
4. Assay Reportable Range:
Not applicable.
5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Not applicable.
6. Detection Limit:
Not applicable.
7. Assay Cut-Off:
The cut-off of the ViraChip test system is defined for each antigen individually by multiplying the mean intensity of the calibrator spots with an antifen specific factor. Specific antigen factors were adjusted for each antigen according to concordance with pre-characterized blood donor sera. Using Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis, the antigen specific cut-off factors were optimized for both maximum sensitivity and specificity for each antigen.
## B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Prospective Study: 113 specimens from three independent commercial clinical testing laboratories were evaluated with the Viramed Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip and comparator B. burgdorferi antibody testing following a Standard Two-Tiered Testing (STTT) methodology in which samples with positive or equivocal results from the ZEUS ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM Test System (K113397) were subsequently tested with the Borrelia B31 ViraChip IgG test kit (K163504) and Borrelia B31 ViraChip IgM test kit (K163695). The percent agreement between the Viramed Borrelia All-In-One ViraChip results and STTT results are shown below.
