The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the qualitative detection of IgM antibody to hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HAV) in human adult and pediatric serum and plasma (dipotassium EDTA, lithium heparin, and sodium heparin) and neonatal serum. A test for IgM anti-HAV is indicated for testing of specimens from individuals who have signs and symptoms consistent with acute hepatitis. Test results are used in conjunction with other laboratory results and clinical information as an aid in the diagnosis of acute or recent hepatitis A viral infection.
Device Story
Two-step CMIA for qualitative detection of IgM anti-HAV in human serum/plasma; uses ARCHITECT i System. Step 1: Sample, assay diluent, and HAV-coated paramagnetic microparticles combined; IgM anti-HAV binds to microparticles. Step 2: Anti-human IgM acridinium-labeled conjugate added; binds to captured IgM. Pre-trigger and trigger solutions added; chemiluminescent reaction measured as relative light units (RLUs). RLU signal compared to cutoff (0.375 x Calibrator mean RLU) to determine reactive/nonreactive status. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid diagnosis of acute/recent HAV infection when interpreted with clinical findings.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective multi-center study (n=658) compared ARCHITECT HAVAB-M to comparator assay. Overall positive percent agreement 98.10% (103/105); negative percent agreement 100.00% (553/553). Pediatric population (n=102) showed 98.88% positive agreement and 100% negative agreement. Seroconversion sensitivity verified against predicate. Analytical specificity evaluated with 203 specimens; interference testing showed <10% interference for bilirubin, hemoglobin, protein, and triglycerides.

Regulatory Classification
Identification
HAV serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera for the detection of hepatitis A virus-specific IgM, IgG, or total antibodies (IgM and IgG), in human serum or plasma. These devices are used for testing specimens from individuals who have signs and symptoms consistent with acute hepatitis to determine if an individual has been previously infected with HAV, or as an aid to identify HAV-susceptible individuals. The detection of these antibodies aids in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of an acute or past infection by HAV in conjunction with other clinical laboratory findings. These devices are not intended for screening blood or solid or soft tissue donors.

I. **Device Description:**
The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay is a two-step immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgM anti-HAV in human serum and plasma using CMIA technology with flexible assay protocols, referred to as Chemiflex. In the first step, prediluted sample, assay diluent, and hepatitis A virus (human) coated paramagnetic microparticles are combined. IgM anti-HAV present in the sample binds to the hepatitis A virus (human) coated microparticles. After washing, the IgM anti-HAV binds to the anti-human IgM acridinium-labeled conjugate that is added in the second step. Following another wash cycle, pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs). A direct relationship exists between the amount of IgM anti-HAV in the sample and the RLUs detected by the ARCHITECT i System optics. The presence or absence of IgM anti-HAV in the specimen is determined by comparing the chemiluminescent signal in the reaction to the cutoff signal determined from an active ARCHITECT HAVAB-M calibration. The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay is calibrated with ARCHITECT HAVAB-M Standard Calibrator. ARCHITECT HAVAB-M Controls are assayed for the verification of the accuracy and precision of

Class II Special Control Guidance Document: Hepatitis A Virus Serological Assays, issued February 9, 2006
L. Test Principle:
The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay is a two-step immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgM anti-HAV in human serum and plasma using CMIA technology. First step: Sample (pre-diluted), assay diluent, and paramagnetic microparticles coated with HAV (human) are combined. IgM anti-HAV present in the sample binds to the HAV (human) coated microparticles.
Second step: After washing, the IgM anti-HAV binds to the anti-human IgM acridinium-labeled conjugate. Following another wash cycle, pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added, and the resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs) detected by the ARCHITECT i System optics.
The presence or absence of IgM anti-HAV in the specimen is determined by comparing the chemiluminescent signal in the reaction to the cutoff signal determined from an active ARCHITECT HAVAB-M calibration.
Calculations:
{4}
- The ARCHITECT $i$ System calculates the cutoff RLU from the Calibrator mean RLU. The cutoff RLU is stored for each reagent lot calibration. Cutoff $\mathrm{RLU} = 0.375 \times$ (Calibrator mean RLU)
- The ARCHITECT $i$ System calculates the S/CO result for each sample as follows: $\mathrm{S / CO} = \mathrm{Sample~RLU / Cutoff~RLU}$
**Interpretation of Results:**
| Result (S/CO) | Instrument Interpretation | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| < 0.80 | Nonreactive (NR) | IgM anti-HAV not detected. Does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with HAV. Levels of anti-HAV IgM may be below the cut-off in early infection. |
| 0.80 to < 1.21 | Grayzone (GZ) | IgM antibodies to HAV may or may not be present. Patients exhibiting grayzone test results should be closely monitored by redrawing and retesting at approximately one week intervals.* |
| ≥ 1.21 | Reactive (R) | IgM anti-HAV detected. Presumptive evidence of HAV infection. A reactive anti-HAV IgM result does not rule out other hepatitis infections. |
* Monitoring the level of IgM anti-HAV by redrawing and retesting at approximately one week intervals will distinguish rapidly rising IgM anti-HAV levels associated with early acute hepatitis. A infection from gradually decreasing or unchanging IgM anti-HAV levels often associated with late acute stage of HAV infection.
Assay results should be interpreted only in the context of other clinical laboratory findings and the total clinical status of the individual. It has been shown that a viremic window exists with individuals infected with HAV where the individual may be symptomatic for hepatitis but IgM anti-HAV nonreactive.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
In addition to the required preclinical studies, the testing scheme was incorporated into the Precision, Calibration Curve Storage, and Instrument Percent Agreement studies. The results from these studies confirm that the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay can be used on the ARCHITECT $i$ 2000 and $i$ 2000SR.
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
**Within-laboratory precision:**
A 20-day precision study was performed at Abbott Laboratories based on guidance from the CLSI document EP5-A2. ARCHITECT $i$ 2000 and $i$ $2000_{\mathrm{SR}}$ were used. Testing was performed using 2 instruments (one of each), 3 assay reagent lots, 3 calibrator lots, and one control lot. The ARCHITECT

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The data provided demonstrate that no high dose hook effect is found for the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): The ranges for the controls are not lot specific and represent the total range of
{6}
values which may be generated throughout the life of the product. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own means and acceptable ranges which should fall within the package insert ranges. Sources of variation that can be expected include: calibration, control lot, instrument, calibrator lot, reagent lot.
The controls must fall within the following ranges:
| Control | Color | Titer | Range (S/CO) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Negative Control | Natural | N/A | ≤0.80 |
| Positive Control | Blue | 1:4 | 1.09 - 2.87 |
Control values have not been established for assays other than the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay. If the user wishes to use this control material with other assays, it is their responsibility to establish the appropriate ranges. The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M Controls are in a serum matrix made from recalcified plasma. The user should provide alternate control material for plasma when necessary.
Stability: The data demonstrate that human serum (including serum collected in serum separator tubes) or plasma collected in dipotassium EDTA, lithium heparin plasma separator, or sodium heparin tubes may be used with the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay when:
- stored at 2 to $8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for up to 7 days
- stored at room temperature $(21 - 22^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ for up to 3 days
- stored at approximately $30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for up to 3 days, and
- subjected to up to 3 freeze/thaw cycles.
Sample on board stability: The data support sample storage of up to 3 hours on board the ARCHITECT i System when tested with the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay.
# d. Detection limit:
N/A
# e. Analytical specificity:
The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay was evaluated for potential cross-reactivity for specimens from individuals with medical conditions unrelated to HAV infection and specimens containing potentially interfering substances.

## Interference:
At the concentrations listed below, bilirubin (conjugated and unconjugated), hemoglobin, total protein, and triglycerides showed less than 10% interference in the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay for high negative samples targeted to 0.80 S/CO and low positive samples targeted to 1.20 S/CO:
- Bilirubin ≤ 20 mg/dL
- Hemoglobin ≤ 500 mg/dL

Total Protein $\leq 12\mathrm{g / dL}$
Triglycerides $\leq 3000\mathrm{mg / dL}$
# f. Assay cut-off:
The presence or absence of IgM antibody to Hepatitis A virus in the sample is determined by comparing the chemiluminescent signal in the reaction to the cutoff RLU determined from an active ARCHITECT HAVAB-M calibration. The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M results are expressed as the ratio of the sample RLU to the cutoff RLU (S/CO):
$\mathrm{S / CO} = \mathrm{Sample~RLU / Cutoff~RLU}$
where the Cutoff RLU = Calibrator 1 mean RLU x 0.375
where the cutoff multiplier value has been established using a population of specimens, and ROC analysis demonstrated that the optimal sensitivity and specificity is achieved when the cutoff is set using a multiplier of 0.375.
168/173 of true positive specimens were detected, for a sensitivity of $97.11\%$ and specificity of $100.00\%$ (2119/2119) at the lower limit $(-20\%)$ of GZ $(S / CO = 0.80)$ . The seroconversion sensitivity was verified with this cutoff and found to be acceptable when compared to predicate FDA approved assay, and clinical investigation data support the cutoff calculation.
# 2. Comparison studies:
# a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Of the 658 specimens from the intended use population tested in a prospective multi-center study, 554 specimens (Population 1) were obtained from individuals living in the United States from the following populations: 253 specimens were from individuals at increased risk of HAV infection; 200 specimens were from individuals with signs and symptoms of hepatitis; 1 specimen was from an individual diagnosed with acute HAV infection; and 100 specimens were from pediatric individuals. Additionally, 104 specimens (Population 2) were obtained from individuals living outside the United States diagnosed with acute HAV infection (including one pre-selected IgM anti-HAV positive specimen).
The comparison of the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M results to the comparator IgM anti-HAV results and associated percent agreement (including $95\%$ exact confidence intervals) are summarized in the following tables. Data are listed by site and population.

## Performance Cord Blood:
A study was conducted to evaluate whether neonate samples may be tested with the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay. Cord blood was used as a surrogate for neonate serum. Twenty-six matched cord blood and maternal serum samples were spiked with IgM HAV positive stock to yield a high negative sample (target S/CO 0.80) and a low positive sample (target S/CO 1.20). None of the samples were initially reactive. The data obtained upon spiking are summarized in the following table, showing the amount of bias for the cord blood samples from the matched maternal serum samples. All individual samples listed as having $\geq 10\%$ bias observed with the cord blood exhibited negative bias when compared to matched maternal serum sample.
| | Distribution of % Bias | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Analyte Level S/CO | < 10% | ≥ 10% to < 20% | ≥ 20% to < 30% | ≥ 30% to < 40% | ≥ 40% to < 50% | ≥ 50% |

## Seroconversion Panels
Three commercially available HAV patient seroconversion panel sets were tested using the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay to determine the seroconversion sensitivity of the assay. The ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay detects the same number of reactive bleeds as the comparator anti-HAV assay. In all seroconversion panels, both the ARCHITECT HAVAB-M assay and the comparator assay detected the first reactive panel bleed. The data are summarized in the following table.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
