Indications for Use
The Light Diagnostics™ HSV 1/2 Typing DFA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and identification of herpes simplex virus type 1 and/or type 2 in direct specimens from patients with vesicular lesions and symptoms consistent with herpes infection and for culture confirmation by immunofluorescence. Negative results do not preclude an infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Specimens found negative on direct specimen detection should be confirmed by culture. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
Device Story
Direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) kit for qualitative detection/identification of HSV-1 and HSV-2. Input: direct specimens from vesicular lesions or cell culture-amplified specimens. Process: specimens fixed on microscope slides; incubated with fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies specific to HSV-1 (glycoprotein C/ICP35) or HSV-2 (polypeptides/glycoprotein G); unbound reagent rinsed with PBS. Output: visualization via fluorescence microscopy; HSV-infected cells exhibit apple-green fluorescence; uninfected cells stain dull red (Evans blue counterstain). Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Output assists clinicians in diagnosing herpes infection; negative results require culture confirmation. Benefits: rapid identification of viral type compared to traditional culture methods.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study of 454 specimens from 3 sites. Direct specimen testing vs. culture: HSV-1 sensitivity 84% (95% CI 75-90%), specificity 99% (95% CI 97-99%); HSV-2 sensitivity 85% (95% CI 75-92%), specificity 99% (95% CI 98-99%). Culture-amplified specimen testing vs. predicate: HSV-1 sensitivity 100% (95% CI 97-100%), specificity 100% (95% CI 95-100%); HSV-2 sensitivity 100% (95% CI 97-100%), specificity 100% (95% CI 95-100%).
Technological Characteristics
Immunofluorescence assay using fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies. Reagents include HSV-1 (anti-glycoprotein C and ICP35) and HSV-2 (anti-polypeptides/glycoprotein G) antibodies. Requires fluorescence microscope (100W mercury/halogen lamp, FITC filter: 490nm excitation/520nm emission). Form factor: kit with vials (reagents, PBS, mounting fluid) and control slides. Manual procedure involving slide fixation and microscopy. No software or electronic connectivity.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection and identification of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in symptomatic patients with vesicular lesions. Used for direct specimen testing and culture confirmation. Negative results require culture confirmation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

L. Test Principle:
Light Diagnostics™ HSV 1/2 Typing DFA Kit utilizes specific reagents for the detection and identification of HSV 1 and HSV 2. The HSV 1 Typing Reagent consists of two fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies specific for HSV 1 glycoprotein C and ICP35 respectively. HSV 2 Typing Reagent consists of two fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind HSV 2 polypeptides. In Western blots these appear as two major bands with molecular weights of between 110-120 kD and between 78-82 kD and are consistent with the monoclonal antibodies recognizing epitopes within glycoprotein G of HSV 2.

In these tests the limit of detection was defined as the lowest concentration at which ≥95% of replicates are positive
#### e. Analytical specificity:
The analytical specificity of the HSV 1 and HSV 2 Typing Reagents has been examined on slides prepared from reference strains as well as previously typed clinical isolates after cell culture at 1×10⁶ - 8×10⁶ cells/mL. The HSV 1 and HSV 2 Typing Reagents were tested using the same formulation as the

reagents included in this kit and did not show any cross-reactivity. The Typing Reagents have been tested on slides prepared from a wide range of other viruses, bacteria, and cell lines. Depending on the particular organism, concentrations between $\geq 1\times 10^{6}$ cells/mL were tested and showed no cross-reactivity.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A total of 454 specimens collected from 3 clinical sites were included in this study, 258 samples were from the Eastern region of the United States and 196 from the Southeastern region of the US. The specimens include fresh vesicular fluid from herpetic lesions collected from patients with lesions and exhibiting symptoms of HSV 1 or HSV 2 infections.
Clinical samples were submitted to each laboratory in viral transport media. Cells were washed in PBS, dropped onto slides, and fixed in acetone. Slides were stained with the Light Diagnostics™ HSV 1/2 Typing DFA Kit reagents, and another HSV typing reagent for reference, and examined using fluorescence microscopy. All specimens were placed in MRC-5 and/or HNF standard tubes for cell culture. Slides from positive cultures were stained with the Light Diagnostics™ HSV 1/2 Typing DFA Kit reagents, and reference HSV typing reagent and examined using fluorescence microscopy.
Sixteen specimens were excluded from HSV-1 direct specimen analysis and 18 specimens were excluded from HSV-2 direct specimen analysis, because of insufficient numbers of cells on the direct specimen slides. The results of the remaining direct specimen slides were compared to the results of culture isolation.
Culture results were not recorded for three specimens. Analysis was performed on the remaining specimens.
