Indications for Use
The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test is an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Giardia cyst and Cryptosporidium oocyst antigen in human fecal specimens. It is indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with diarrhea suspected of Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium gastrointestinal infections.
Device Story
GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ is an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for qualitative detection of Giardia cyst and Cryptosporidium oocyst antigens in human fecal specimens. Device utilizes microassay plates coated with monoclonal antibodies and a conjugate containing polyclonal antibodies. Process: diluted fecal specimen added to well; immobilized antibodies bind target antigens; conjugate binds antigen-antibody complex; unbound material washed away; substrate added to produce colorimetric signal indicating presence of antigens. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output is visual or spectrophotometric color change, aiding clinicians in diagnosing gastrointestinal parasitic infections. Benefits include rapid, sensitive detection of pathogens in symptomatic patients.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation compared subject device to a commercially available ELISA (n=590) and IFA-confirmed microscopy (n=217). Results vs. ELISA: 98.6% positive agreement, 98.7% negative agreement, 98.6% overall agreement. Results vs. microscopy: 97.6% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 98.6% correlation. Reproducibility testing across three sites showed 100% correlation. Analytical sensitivity established at 375 Giardia cysts/mL and 6250 Cryptosporidium oocysts/mL. No cross-reactivity observed with 30+ intestinal pathogens or common bacterial/viral strains.
Technological Characteristics
ELISA-based immunoassay. Uses monoclonal antibodies (immobilized on microassay plate) and polyclonal antibodies (conjugate) for antigen detection. Form factor: microplate assay. Energy source: none (manual/instrument-read colorimetric). Connectivity: standalone. Sterilization: not applicable (in vitro diagnostic kit).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with diarrhea suspected of having Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium gastrointestinal infections. For in vitro diagnostic use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Entamoeba histolytica in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Entamoeba histolytica directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of amebiasis caused by the microscopic protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by this parasite. The parasite may invade the skin, liver, intestines, lungs, and diaphragm, causing disease conditions such as indolent ulcers, an amebic hepatitis, amebic dysentery, and pulmonary lesions.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.

## Intended Use
The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test is an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Giardia cyst and Cryptosporidium oocyst antigen in buman fer al specimens. It is indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of patients with diaman tour .
Clearly and and and Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium gastrointestinal infections.

### Device Description
The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test uses monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to cell-surface antigens of Giardia and an oocyst antigen of Cryptosporidium. The Microassay Plate in the kit contains immobilized monoclonal antibodies against the antigens and the Conjugate consists of polyclonal antibodies against the antigens. In the assay, an aliquot of a diluted fecal specimen is transferred to a microassay well. The immobilized monoclonal antibodies bind the Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigens if the antigens are present. Upon addition, Conjugate then binds to the antigen/antibody complex. Any unbound materials are removed during the washing steps. Following the addition of substrate, a color is detected due to the enzyme-antibody-antigen complexes that formed in the presence of Giardia or Cryptosporidium antigens and Conjugate.

### 7.2.2 Reproducibility
Multi-site proficiency testing was conducted to establish the ability of the GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test to provide reproducible results in laboratory settings. A fecal panel was assembled and tested at TECHLAB®, Inc. Identical aliquots of the panel were tested at TECHLAB®, Inc. and two independent laboratories using the GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test. The fecal panel consisted of 24 samples: eight Giardia-positive samples, eight Cryptosporidium-positive samples, and eight samples negative for both parasites. Samples were selected that provided a range of absorbance values over the working range of the GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test (OD450 reading 0.0 - 4.0), including positive samples close to the positive/negative cut-off absorbance (OD450 0.150). Each sample was tested during three independent trials over a three-day period. Proficiency testing demonstrated 100% correlation for all samples from all three testing sites.
#### 7.2.3 Sensitivity
Sensitivity to each antigen preparation was evaluated in 6 separate trials, using three different lots of the GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test. The GIARDIA/CRYPTOSPORIDIUM CHEK™ test was consistently positive at 375 Giardia cysts/mL, 0.8 ng recombinant cyst wall protein/mL, and 6250 Cryptosporidium oocysts/mL.
