Special conditions for use statement(s): For prescription use 4. Special instrument requirements: VIDAS and miniVIDAS instruments I. Device Description: The VIDAS Lyme IgG assay principle combines a 2-step enzyme immunoassay sandwich method with a final fluorescent detection (ELFA) (see User's Manual). The Solid Phase Receptacle (SPR®) serves as the solid phase as well as the pipetting device for the assay. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and predispensed in the sealed reagent strips. All of the assay steps are performed automatically by the instrument. The reaction medium is cycled in and out of the SPR several times. After a preliminary wash step and a sample dilution step, the antibodies to B. burgdorferi present in the specimen will bind to the B. burgdorferi specific recombinant proteins coating the interior of the SPR. Unbound sample components are washed away. Anti-human IgG antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase, will attach to the immunocomplex bound to the SPR wall. A final wash step removes unbound conjugate. During the final detection step, the substrate (4-Methyl-umbelliferyl phosphate) is cycled in and out of the SPR. The conjugate enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of this substrate into a fluorescent product (4-Methyl-umbelliferone) the fluorescence of which is measured at 450 nm. The intensity of the fluorescence is proportional to the quantity of anti-B.burgdorferi IgG antibody present in the sample. At the end of the VIDAS Lyme IgG assay, results are automatically calculated by the instrument. A test value is generated and a report is printed. J. Substantial Equivalence Information: 1.

The EIA system should be used to test serum or plasma from patients with a history and symptoms of infection with B. burgdorferi. All positive and equivocal specimens should be re- tested with a specific, second-tier test such as Western Blot. Positive second- tier results are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi. The diagnosis of Lyme disease should be made based on history and symptoms (such as erythema migrans), and other laboratory data, in addition to the presence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. Negative results (either first or second-tier) should not be used to exclude Lyme disease. | | Specimen | Serum or plasma | Serum or plasma | | Analyte | IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi | IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi | | Method | Qualitative | Qualitative | | Differences | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Item | Device | Predicate | | Antigens | Recombinant proteins of | Whole cell extract of B. | {3} 4 | Differences | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Item | Device | Predicate | | Assay Technique | B. burgdorferi | burgdorferi antigens | | | Enzyme-linked fluorescent assay (ELFA) | Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) | | Automated | Yes | No | K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable): Not applicable L. Test Principle: Enzyme Immunoassay M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable): 1. Analytical performance: 100 sera from apparently healthy subjects from an endemic population (New York) and 100 sera from a non-endemic population (Texas) with no known history of Lyme disease were run on the VIDAS Lyme IgG assay and the predicate Lyme IgG assay. The following results were obtained: | | VIDAS | | Predicate | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Positivity | Negativity | Positivity(1) | Negativity | | Endemic | 3.0% | 97.0% | 3% | 97.0% | | Non-Endemic | 0.0% | 100.0% | 1% | 99.0% | (1) Includes positives and equivocal results.. a. Precision/Reproducibility: Precision: For the precision study, 4 serum samples were tested in duplicate in 40 different runs (2 runs per day over 20 days) with 2 reagent lots at 1 site (n = 80). The precision was calculated following the recommendations of the CLSI® document EP5-A2. The total precision data in the table reflect the 80 values generated per sample for Site 1 and takes into account replicate, run, day, calibration, and lot as potential sources of variation. The total precision for controls includes between-run, between-day and between-calibration variability and is lot specific. | Panel Member | N | Mean Index | Within-run | | Within-day | | Between-days | | Total | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | SD | CV (%) | SD | CV (%) | SD | CV (%) | SD | CV (%) | {4} | Negative | 80 | 0.11 | 0.01 | 9.7 | 0.00 | 3.8 | 0.01 | 5.4 | 0.02 | 18.5 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | High Negative | 80 | 0.15 | 0.02 | 11.2 | 0.01 | 5.3 | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.03 | 18.3 | | Low Positive | 80 | 0.26 | 0.01 | 4.3 | 0.01 | 3.8 | 0.01 | 2.4 | 0.02 | 6.8 | | High Positive | 80 | 2.34 | 0.09 | 3.7 | 0.05 | 2.3 | 0.07 | 3.0 | 0.13 | 5.7 | | Positive Control | 40 | 0.45 | NA | NA | 0.03 | 5.9 | 0.01 | 1.4 | 0.03 | 6.7 | | Negative Control | 40 | 0.00 | NA | NA | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.00 | 0.0 | 0.00 | 0.0 | Reproducibility: For reproducibility, 4 serum samples were tested in duplicate in 40 different runs (2 runs per day over 20 days) with 2 reagent lots at 3 sites (n =240). The reproducibility was calculated following the recommendations of the CLSI® document EP5-A2. The total reproducibility data in the table reflects the 240 values generated per sample for all sites and takes into account replicate, run, day, calibration, lot, and site as potential sources of variation. Out of the 240 total values, 2 high negatives gave a positive value and 2 low positives gave a negative value.

Analytical specificity: Cross-reactivity: Cross-reactivity is based on the study of samples that are negative with the test being evaluated and positive for the potentially interfering disease. The results of the samples tested according to the disease are shown in the table below: | Infection or Diagnosis | N | VIDAS Lyme IgG positive results | % Cross-reactivity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Anti Nuclear Antibodies | 60 | 5 | 8.33 | | C Reactive Protein | 61 | 2 | 3.28 | | Cytomegalovirus | 40 | 0 | 0.00 | | Epstein Barr Virus | 34 | 0 | 0.00 | | Helicobacter pylori | 143 | 2 | 1.40 | | Hepatitis A Virus | 150 | 3 | 2.00 | | Herpes Simplex Virus | 125 | 1 | 0.80 | | Human Immunodeficiency Virus | 20 | 1 | 5.00 | | Human Anti-mouse Antibodies | 43 | 0 | 0.00 | | Leptospirosis | 206 | 6 | 2.91 | | Measles | 38 | 0 | 0.00 | | Mumps | 46 | 0 | 0.00 | | Rheumatoid Factor | 28 | 0 | 0.00 | | Rickettsiosis | 133 | 3 | 2.25 | | Rubella | 19 | 0 | 0.00 | | Syphilis | 256 | 1 | 0.39 | | Systemic Lupus Erythematosus | 28 | 2 | 7.14 | | Toxoplasmosis | 26 | 1 | 3.85 | | Varicella Zoster Virus | 58 | 0 | 0.00 | The effect of Babesiosis, Erhlichiosis and Rocky mountain spotted fever pathologies on the VIDAS Lyme IgG performance is not known. Interfering Substances: Interferences were studied according to the recommendations of CLSI® document EP7-A2. None of the following factors have been found to significantly influence this assay: - hemolysis (hemoglobin: 5 g/L (monomer)), - lipemia (lipids: 30 g/L equivalent in triglycerides), {6} - bilirubinemia (bilirubin: 0.3 g/L), - human albumin (albumin up to 60 g/L). It is recommended not to use samples that are hemolyzed, lipemic or icteric and, if possible, to collect a new sample. f. Assay cut-off: The clinical cut-off of the assay was determined using a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. 268 negative sera and 250 positive sera were used to determine the cut-off value that gave the best discrimination between the sensitivity and the specificity of the assay. The cut-off value for VIDAS Lyme IgG was determined to be equal to 0.20. ## 2. Comparison studies: a. Method comparison with predicate device: Method Comparison: A prospective study was performed on 975 fresh or frozen prospectively collected sera submitted for routine Lyme disease testing from an endemic area of the United States. Testing was performed in three laboratories. At each laboratory, the samples were tested in parallel using a commercially available Lyme IgG EIA method (predicate) and the VIDAS Lyme IgG assay. Positive % Agreement (PPA) is calculated for the positives and equivocals together since the 2-tier testing does not make a distinction and calls for both of them to be tested by Western Blot. Combined results from the three sites are shown below: | N = 975 | Predicate Lyme IgG | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | VIDAS Lyme IgG | Positive | Equivocal | Negative | | Positive | 77 | 17 | 36 | | Negative | 18 | 15 | 812 | | Total | 95 | 32 | 848 | | Positive % Agreement 95% CI | 74.0 % (94/127) [65.5% - 81.4%] | | | | Negative % Agreement 95% CI | 95.8 % (812/848) [94.2% - 97.0%] | | | Second-Tier Testing: In accordance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for use of a 2-tier Lyme disease testing scheme, the VIDAS Lyme IgG positive results and the predicate Lyme IgG positive and equivocal results were confirmed using a commercially available Lyme IgG Western Blot method. The percent agreement between VIDAS and predicate Lyme IgG positives and the percent agreement between VIDAS-predicate-Western Blot IgG positives and Predicate-Western Blot IgG positives is shown below. {7} 8 | | 1^{st} Tier + or ± | IgG Western | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | Pos. | Neg. | | Predicate IgG | 127 | 63 | 64 | | VIDAS IgG | 130 | 65 | 65 | | VIDAS IgG and Predicate IgG | 94 | 62 | 32 | 1st tier PPA = 74.0% (94/127) [95% CI; 65.5% - 81.4%] 2nd tier PPA = 98.4% (62/63) [95% CI; 91.47 – 99.96] ## b. Matrix comparison: **Matrix Equivalency**: A matrix equivalency study for the claimed sample matrix types (serum and plasma) and tube types (a dry serum tube, a separation gel serum tube, a sodium heparinate plasma tube and a lithium heparinate plasma tube) was performed by testing thirty five samples with Index values covering the dynamic range of the assay. A 24% (2 x 12%) allowable total error was used when the VIDAS Lyme IgG index was &gt; 0.10. At or below a 0.10 VIDAS Lyme IgG index, the allowable total error of 0.024 in terms of absolute difference was used. A Passing-Bablok regression was used to compare the results of each sampling tube to the results of the reference tube, the dry serum tube. For all conditions, the proportional bias was &lt; 12% and no sample exceeded the allowable total error. The comparison study results are shown below. **Passing-Bablok regression analysis** | Tested conditions | Intercept (CI at 95%) | Slope (CI at 95%) | | --- | --- | --- | | Separation gel serum tube / Dry serum tube | -0.04 (-0.10 to 0.00) | 1.02 (0.97 to 1.07) | | Lithium Heparinate plasma tube / Dry serum tube | -0.11 (-0.17 to -0.03) | 1.05 (1.00 to 1.10) | | Sodium Heparinate plasma tube / Dry serum tube | -0.04 (-0.14 to -0.01) | 1.03 (0.99 to 1.08) | The following table summarizes the results of the matrix equivalency study.
