## Indications for Use

Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method for the semi-quantitative determination of specific IgA autoantibodies to tissue transglutaminase (tTg) in human serum. The results of the anti-tTg assay can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases with elevated levels of anti-tTg antibodies including Coeliac Disease. Levels of these autoantibodies are one indicator in a multi-factorial diagnostic regimen. This device can be used with HYCOR HY.TEC automated EIA instrument. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

## Device Story

Solid phase ELISA for detection of anti-tTg IgA antibodies in human serum; utilizes 96-well plates coated with purified tTg antigen. Patient serum added to wells; antibodies bind to antigen; horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-IgA antibody added; TMB substrate added to produce colorimetric reaction. Color intensity proportional to autoantibody concentration. Performed manually or automatically via HYCOR HY.TEC instrument; instrument performs dilutions and calculates results. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output provides semi-quantitative antibody levels to assist clinicians in multi-factorial diagnostic regimens for autoimmune conditions like Coeliac Disease.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided in the document; substantial equivalence determination based on regulatory review of the 510(k) submission.

## Technological Characteristics

Solid phase ELISA; 96-well microplate coated with purified tTg antigen. Detection via horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-IgA antibody and TMB substrate. Manual or automated (HY.TEC instrument) operation. Semi-quantitative output. No international reference standard available; arbitrary units assigned and verified against internal controls.

## Regulatory Identification

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

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

## K. Test Principle:

The Autostat™ II assay for detection of autoantibodies is a solid phase immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in which the analyte is indicated by a colour reaction of an enzyme and substrate. The Autostat II wells are coated with purified antigen. On adding diluted serum to the wells, the antibodies present bind to the antigen. After incubating at room temperature and washing away unbound material, horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-IgA antibody is added, which binds to the immobilized antibodies.

Following further incubation and washing, tetra-methyl benzidine substrate (TMB) is added to each well. The presence of the antigen-antibody-conjugate complex turns the substrate to a dark blue color. Addition of the stop solution turns the color to yellow. The color intensity is proportional to the amount of autoantibodies present in the original serum sample.

# L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

# 1. Analytical performance:

# a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Three samples across the assay range were tested in duplicate in a total of twenty assays and percent CV were calculated.

Manual variation

|  Mean conc. | Inter-assay | Intra-assay  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  71.5 u/mL | 13.60% | 5.90%  |
|  41.3 u/mL | 13.50% | 3.10%  |
|  7.5 u/mL | 10.30% | 10.30%  |

Automated variation

|  Mean conc. | Inter-assay | Intra-assay  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  72.8 u/mL | 8.10% | 5.60%  |
|  15.7 u/mL | 14.50% | 4.20%  |
|  7.9 u/mL | 7.00% | 2.80%  |

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Three samples were chosen and serially diluted to determine the linearity of the assay. The assay is linear up to  $150~\mathrm{u / mL}$ .

# c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

The standards are prepared in-house. International Reference Preparation (IRP) is not available for tTg, hence, arbitrary units are assigned during the development process. These values are verified and quality control tested against previously approved batches. In addition, a panel of positive and negative samples is run to verify sensitivity of the standards.

The positive and negative controls are prepared in-house from commercially purchased sera.

The positive control is the same serum as the standard curve and the negative control is from a normal donor. The controls are quality control tested by running them at the assay dilution (1/100) on three

different batches of plates using an approved batch of standards. The controls are also tested in the final assay of the complete kit prior to release to verify that the controls are within their respective acceptable ranges.

d. Detection limit:
The sensitivity of the assay was established by calculation of the mean plus three SD's of a minimum of 20 replicates of the zero standards which gave a value of 0.26 u/m for automated version and 1.18 u/mL for the manual version.

e. Analytical specificity:
Interferences and Hook Effect

Samples with abnormally elevated levels of hemoglobin, Bilirubin and EDTA may interfere with assay performance and accuracy. No hook effect was observed in this assay.

f. Assay cut-off:
u/mL  Negative  Positive
tTg IgA  &lt; 7  &gt; 7

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The manual assay was compared with the predicate device using a panel of samples:
70 normal samples
50 confirmed celiac disease patients
17 from patients with other autoimmune conditions
24 samples from patients on which clinical information was not available (The information given relates to the designated response (DR) for either endomysial IgA or tTg IgA antibodies, as per a predefined reference group of laboratories).

Autostat II

| Predicate Device | Positive | Negative |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Positive | 68 | 2 |
| Negative | 0 | 91 |

Relative sensitivity 97.1%
Relative specificity 100%
Overall agreement 98.8%
