Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

L. Test Principle:
The EliA dsDNA wells are coated with double-stranded plasmid DNA. If present in the patient’s specimen, antibodies to gliadin will bind to their specific antigen in the wells. After washing away non-bound antibodies, enzyme- labeled antibodies against human IgG antibodies (EliA IgG conjugate) are added to form an antibody-conjugate complex. After incubation, non-bound conjugate is washed away and the bound complex is incubated with a development solution. After stopping the reaction, the fluorescence in the reaction mixture is measured. The higher the response value, the more specific IgG is present in the specimen. To evaluate test results, the response for patient samples is compared directly to the response for calibrators.
The EliA IgG calibration is a total IgG calibration. It is based on a set of six WHO-standardized IgG calibrators derived from human serum. The calibrators are required to perform an initial calibration curve, which can be stored in the ImmunoCAP instrument and may be used up to 28 days. Each assay outside of a calibration run includes curve controls that have to fall within defined ranges to verify that the stored calibration curve is still valid.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
For the ImmunoCAP 100, three samples were measured on three instruments in 36 runs with a calibration curve in each run. For the ImmunoCAP 250, three samples were measured on three instruments in 3 replicates in 21 runs with a calibration curve in each run.
ImmunoCAP 100
| Sample | Mean (U/mL) | Intra-run (CV %) | Inter-run (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 18.6 | 3.6 | 3.7 |
| 2 | 56.6 | 4.1 | 3.3 |
| 3 | 102 | 4.0 | 2.8 |

ImmunoCAP 250
| Sample | Mean (U/mL) | Intra-run (CV %) | Inter-run (CV %) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 9.8 | 5.3 | 4.6 |
| 2 | 15.1 | 5.0 | 3.2 |
| 3 | 81.5 | 2.8 | 4.6 |
| 4 | 209.4 | 5.3 | 4.5 |
Additional studies were done on three ImmunoCAP 100 instruments for equivocal samples around 15 IU/mL and a high positive sample. The samples were tested in 3 replicates in 18 runs (total 54 replicates) over 6 days. The studies yielded the following:
| Sample | Mean value (IU/mL) | Coefficients of variation (%) | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | Intra-Run | Inter-Run |
| 1 | 8.9 | 4.9 | 4.2 |
| 2 | 9.3 | 4.3 | 5.0 |
| 3 | 9.6 | 5.8 | 5.0 |
| 4 | 11.3 | 6.1 | 7.2 |
| 5 | 13.1 | 3.3 | 6.9 |
| 6 | 273.3 | 5.4 | 7.8 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was not claimed for this device.
High dose hook effect:
For EliA dsDNA, the possibility of antigen excess occurring when using the device was evaluated with serum sample above the calibrator 600 ug/mL. The device was able to discriminate the high positive sample diluted 1:10 (~6,000 ug/L) from the highest calibrator point showing no hook effect.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The IgG calibrators are traceable to the International Reference Preparation (IRP) 67/86 of Human Immunoglobulins A, G, and M from WHO. New batches of IgG calibrators are compared to a secondary standard (standardized with the IRP) or the IRP directly and adjusted accordingly to meet the correct concentration (6 levels). The instrument measures specific IgG concentrations in µg/L. To obtain a test specific result, µg/L of IgG must be converted to EliA U/mL using a conversion factor given by the lot-specific code of the EliA dsDNA well.
EliA ANA Control is prepared from selected pooled human sera containing IgG antibodies to dsDNA, RNP, Sm, Ro, La, Scl-70, CENP and Jo-1. The controls are prediluted and ready for use. The acceptance ranges for the current control lot are stated on the Control Certificate included in the respective EliA ANA Control kit. The mean values for every lot have been determined with 4 consecutive control assays, each in 6 replicates. Ranges are
{4}
calculated as respective mean ± 3SD for the expected long term variation.
Open-vial stability is not tested as the EliA ANA control is packaged in single vials. Closed-vial stability studies were performed to investigate the accelerated stability claim of 24 months. According to internal specifications 4 weeks at +30°C correspond to one year storage at +4°C and 8 weeks at +30°C correspond to two years storage at +4°C. For approved stability, the quotas (stressed/reference) for positive signal should be within 0.80 to 1.20. Specifications were met.
d. Detection limit:
The lower limit of the measuring range was determined by measuring dilutions (1:2, 1:4, and 1:8) of Calibrator 4.0 (4.0 μg/L) in the Calibrator Wells. The results in Response Units (RU) were compared with the result of the sample diluent on EliA dsDNA Wells. The discrimination ability (D) of the assay should be >2.0. All samples were measured in triplicate.
| Sample ID | Results on Calibrator Wells | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | Mean Response Units (RU) | SD |
| Calibrator 4.0 (1:2) | 258 | 4.8 |
| Calibrator 4.0 (1:4) | 163 | 4.8 |
| Calibrator 4.0 (1:8) | 119 | 3.3 |
| Sample ID | Results on dsDNA Wells | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | Mean RU | SD |
| Sample Diluent | 1 | 0.4 |
The 1/8 diluted calibrator 4.0 (0.5 μg/L) still can be discriminated from background given by the signal of the diluent on dsDNA wells. The lower limit of detection was set at 0.5μg /L.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interfering substance
Two diluted positive serum samples were spiked with bilirubin C, bilirubin F, hemoglobin, chyle and rheumatoid factor. The same samples were also spiked with specific blanks. 990 μL diluted serum was spiked with 10 μL substance or blank. For rheumatoid factor, 900 μL serum were spiked with 100 μL interference substance. The samples were tested in 3 replicates. A calibration curve was run in each assay. The runs were repeated twice. The following sample concentrations of additives were reached.
| Additives | Concentration in raw sample | Final concentration in diluted sample (1:100) | Normal Values |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bilirubin F | 21.1 mg/dL | 2.11 | <1.0 |
| Bilirubin C | 20.6 mg/dL | 2.06 | <1.0 |
{5}
The specification was set such that the ratio of the result of the sample spiked with the interfering substance and the sample spiked with a buffer blank should be between 0.8 and 1.2. The tables below show the results of the study.

The interfering substances listed did not appear to adversely affect the results of the new devices.
## Cross-reactivity
Panels of international reference sera from (Centers of Disease Control and Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists) were selected to show analytical specificity of the device. The samples were analyzed in duplicate using one batch of EliA dsDNA wells and one batch of system reagents. A calibration curve was run in duplicate. The results are shown on the tables below:

CDC5 is reported to be high positive for Sm Abs. and also contains histone Abs (Tan et.al.1999) but was found positive for dsDNA by EliAdsDNA. Sm is well known as marker for SLE, hence it is very likely that CDC5 belongs to a SLE patient. DsDNA is also known to be SLE marker and is very often associated with a high Sm titer.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Clinical samples:
One hundred six patient samples covering the measuring range were tested with the EliA dsDNA and the predicate devices, DPC RIA. These samples included 60 SLE and 46 non-SLE patients. Non-SLE samples included patients with rheumatoid arthritis (20), progressive systemic sclerosis (5),
{8}
CREST- limited systemic sclerosis (1), Hepatitis C virus (1), mixed connective tissue disease- MCTD (3), healthy controls (16). Equivocal results (nine SLE patients) were excluded from calculation. Results showed the following:
| n = 97 | DPC RIA | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | positive | negative | Total |
| EliA dsDNA | positive | 48 | 0 | 48 |
| | negative | 5 | 44 | 49 |
| | Total | 53 | 44 | 97 |
Total agreement = 94.8% (92/97) (95%CI 88.4-98.3)
Positive % agreement = 90.6% (48/53) (95%CI 79.3-96.9)
Negative% agreement = 100.0% (44/44) (95%CI 92-100)
## b. Matrix comparison:
Forty six sets of samples from different donors were tested in double determinations. Sample demographics were not provided. Each set contained serum, EDTA, heparin and citrate plasma samples. For positive and equivocal serum samples quotas between serum and each type of plasma were calculated. Mean quota of plasma to serum concentration should be 0.8-1.2 for positive sera. Negative samples should not switch to positive in all serum and plasma samples. Linear regression comparing the quotas between serum and each type of plasma for the positive samples was performed and showed:
| | n | Slope | Intercept | Correlation Coefficient |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Serum vs. Plasma Citrate | 46 | 1.040 (95%CI: 1.00, 0.086) | -0.157 (95%CI: -0.250, 0.043) | 0.997 |
| Serum vs. Plasma Heparin | 46 | 1.067 (95%CI: 1.025, 1.161) | 0.264 (95%CI: 0.133, 0.393) | 0.997 |
| Serum vs. Plasma EDTA | 46 | 1.015 95%CI: 0.981-1.051 | 0.106 (95%CI: 0.007, 0.199) | 0.995 |
The specifications for this study are fulfilled for serum, heparin, EDTA and citrate plasma samples. This information is specified on the Specimen Collection section of the Package Insert.
## c. Instrument Platform comparison:
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the performance of EliA dsDNA is equivalent on the ImmunoCAP 100 and the ImmunoCAP 250. For this comparison study, a total of 59 samples distributed over the measuring range were assayed: 4 negative samples, 32 positive samples and 23 high positive samples. All samples were run on three ImmunoCAP 100 instruments and two ImmunoCAP 250 instruments in two runs and in single replicates. The specification for correlation is that the systems are considered equal if the true average difference is less than $\pm 5\%$ with no linear trends and
{9}
no sample related differences (with the same lot) of reagents. The study yielded the following:
| | n | Slope | Intercept | Correlation Coefficient |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| IC100 vs. IC 250 | 59 | 0.979 (95%CI: 0.929, 1.022) | 0.532 (95%CI: -1.875, 3.950) | 0.986 |
3. Clinical studies:
