Indications for Use
The BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgG kit is a multiplex flow immunoassay intended for the quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) and Rubella, and the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in human serum and EDTA or heparinized plasma. The ToRC IgG kit is intended for use with the Bio-Rad BioPlex 2200 System. This kit is intended as an aid in the determination of serological status to T. gondii, Rubella and CMV. This kit is not intended for use in screening blood or plasma donors. Performance characteristics for T. gondii and Rubella have not been evaluated in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals. Performance characteristics for CMV have not been evaluated in immunosuppressed or organ transplant individuals. Performance characteristics of this kit have not been established for use in neonatal screening or for use at a point of care. BioPlex® 2200 ToRC IgG Calibrator Set The BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgG Calibrator Set is intended for the calibration of the BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgG Reagent Pack. BioPlex® 2200 ToRC IgG Control Set The BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgG Control Set is intended for use as an assayed quality control to monitor the overall performance of the BioPlex 2200 Instrument and BioPlex ToRC IgG Reagent Pack in the clinical laboratory. The performance of the BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgG Control Set has not been established with any other Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella or Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG antibody assays.
Device Story
Multiplex flow immunoassay system for simultaneous detection of IgG antibodies to T. gondii, Rubella, and CMV. Uses dyed beads coated with specific cell lysates; patient sample, diluent, and beads incubated at 37°C. Secondary anti-human IgG antibody conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE) added; mixture incubated and washed. Detector measures bead identity via dye fluorescence and antibody binding via PE fluorescence. Includes Internal Standard, Serum Verification, and Reagent Blank beads for quality assurance. Operated by clinical laboratory personnel. Output provided as relative fluorescence intensity (RFI), converted to IU/mL (quantitative) or antibody index (AI) (qualitative). Results aid clinicians in determining patient serological status. Modification involves changing QC testing frequency from per-pack to once per 24-hour period.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data presented. Bench testing included FMEA risk analysis and microbial contamination studies (spiking with mold/bacterial filtrates). Results showed percent recovery of Positive QC Control within 90-120% range, indicating assay performance is not significantly affected by microbial contaminants.
Technological Characteristics
Multiplex flow immunoassay; dyed beads coated with T. gondii, Rubella, and CMV antigens. Detection via phycoerythrin (PE) conjugate fluorescence. Quantitative (T. gondii, Rubella) and qualitative (CMV) analysis. System includes Internal Standard, Serum Verification, and Reagent Blank beads. Automated processing on BioPlex 2200 System.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to T. gondii and Rubella, and qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to CMV in human serum/plasma. Intended as aid in determining serological status. Not for blood/plasma donor screening, neonatal screening, or point-of-care use. Performance not established for immunocompromised, immunosuppressed, or organ transplant patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Rubella virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rubella virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of rubella (German measles) or confirmation of a person's immune status from past infections or immunizations and provides epidemiological information on German measles. Newborns infected in the uterus with rubella virus may be born with multiple congenital defects (rubella syndrome).
