Indications for Use
The BioPlex® 2200 HSV-1 & HSV-2 IgG kit is a multiplex flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in human serum and EDTA or heparinized plasma. The test is indicated for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid for the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. The predictive value of positive or negative results depends on the population's prevalence and the pretest likelihood of HSV-1 and HSV-2. The test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for use in a pediatric population, neonates and immunocompromised patients or for use at point of care facilities. The BioPlex® 2200 HSV-1 & HSV-2 IgG kit is intended for use with the Bio-Rad BioPlex® 2200 System.
Device Story
Multiplexed microparticle flow cytometry immunoassay; detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 glycoprotein G (gG) antigens. Input: human serum or EDTA/heparinized plasma. Process: patient sample, diluent, and antigen-coated dyed beads incubated; anti-human IgG-phycoerythrin conjugate added; fluorescence measured via flow cytometry. Output: antibody index (AI) values. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by trained personnel. Internal Standard, Serum Verification, and Reagent Blank beads verify system performance. Results aid presumptive diagnosis of HSV infection; clinical decision-making depends on prevalence and pretest likelihood.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2. Interference testing conducted per CLSI EP7-A2. Method comparison performed against predicate using 399 prospective samples and 80 CDC reference panel samples. High agreement (PPA/NPA >97%) observed. Matrix comparison (serum vs. plasma) showed high correlation (r >0.99).
Technological Characteristics
Multiplexed microparticle flow cytometry immunoassay. Recombinant gG1 (55 KD) and gG2 (31 KD) antigens. Automated system (BioPlex 2200). Uses phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-human IgG. Includes Internal Standard, Serum Verification, and Reagent Blank beads. Calibrated with 4-vial set. Software-based RFI calculation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid for the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. Not for use in pediatric populations, neonates, immunocompromised patients, or point-of-care facilities.
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).
