Device Story
The BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits are multiplexed, bead-based immunoassays designed for use on the automated BioPlex 2200 System. The device uses dyed paramagnetic beads coated with recombinant tTG and DGP antigens. Patient serum is incubated with these beads; captured antibodies are detected using phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-human IgA or IgG. The system uses flow cytometry to identify bead populations and measure fluorescence intensity (RFI). Internal standard and serum verification beads monitor system performance and sample addition. Results are calculated via a 4-parameter logistic (4-PL) curve from a 5-point calibration. The device is used in clinical laboratories to aid in diagnosing Celiac disease by identifying specific autoantibodies. It provides semi-quantitative results in U/mL, which clinicians use alongside other diagnostic findings to support a Celiac diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study evaluated 319 specimens (156 biopsy-confirmed Celiac, 163 non-Celiac controls). Anti-tTG IgA sensitivity 94.9%, specificity 98.8%. Anti-DGP IgA sensitivity 87.2%, specificity 96.9%. Anti-tTG IgG sensitivity 44.2%, specificity 95.7%. Anti-DGP IgG sensitivity 84.6%, specificity 96.9%. Method comparison against predicate ELISAs showed high total agreement (94.5% for IgA, 89.5% for IgG).
Technological Characteristics
Multiplexed flow immunoassay using dyed paramagnetic microbeads coated with recombinant tTG and DGP antigens. Detection via phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-human IgA/IgG.

L. Test Principle:
The BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits use a multiplexed micro particle bead-based immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of IgA and IgG antibodies to tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) in human serum using the Luminex flow cytometry technology.
In the BioPlex Celiac IgA and IgG assays, two (2) different populations of dyed beads are coated with antigens associated with celiac disease (recombinant antigens). The BioPlex 2200 System combines an aliquot of patient sample, sample diluent, and bead set reagent into a reaction vessel. The mixture is incubated at $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. After a wash cycle, anti-human IgA or IgG antibody conjugated to phycoerythrin (PE) is added to the dyed beads and this mixture is incubated at $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. The excess conjugate is removed in another wash cycle, and the beads are re-suspended in wash buffer. The bead mixture then passes through the detector. The identity of the dyed beads is determined by the fluorescence of the dyes, and the amount of antibody captured by the antigen is determined by the fluorescence of the attached PE. Raw data is calculated in relative fluorescence intensity (RFI).
Two additional dyed beads, Internal Standard Bead (ISB) and Serum Verification Bead (SVB) are present in each reaction mixture to verify detector response and the addition of serum to the reaction vessel. An additional control bead, IgA Verification Bead (AVB) has been included for the Celiac IgA kit to flag results for samples with deficient IgA levels. Refer to the BioPlex 2200 System Operation Manual for more information on internal quality control beads.
The system is calibrated using a set of nine (9) distinct calibrator vials, supplied separately by Bio-Rad Laboratories. For anti-tTG, five (5) vials, representing five (5) different antibody concentrations, are used for semi-quantitative calibration for anti-tTG IgA and IgG. For anti-DGP, five (5) vials, representing five (5) different antibody concentrations, are used for semi-quantitative calibration for anti-DGP IgA and IgG. The result for each of these antibodies is expressed in Units/mL (U/mL).

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
i) Reproducibility: BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG assays reproducibility testing was performed in accordance with CLSI EP5-A2 Guideline, using 10 patient serum samples within the assay reportable range in replicates of ten on each of three BioPlex 2200 instruments with three independent reagent lots comprised of a reagent pack, matched calibrator set and control set. Two runs were conducted on each instrument for each of three set reagent. Each lot mean (U/mL) was calculated using data 60 points for each patient sample (ten replicates, three instruments, two runs per instrument). Total coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated based on within-run, between-run, between-instruments/operators and between-reagent-lots precision. The acceptance criteria for total precision are %CV < 25% (for > 15 U/mL Positive) and SD < 3 U/mL (<15 U/mL Negative). Results of the reproducibility study are summarized below.

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
i) Linearity: Three low and 4-5 high Celiac anti-tTG IgA or IgG and anti-DGP IgA or IgG positive patient samples were tested to demonstrate linearity. These samples were diluted with immunodepleted serum according to CLSI EP06-A. Each sample and dilution was evaluated in replicates of four using one Celiac IgA and IgG lot on one instrument. Linear and polynomial regression analysis of Celiac IgA and IgG recovery vs. sample dilution was performed to determine if the dilution curves exhibit statistically significant non-linear regression based on the CLSI guideline EP06-A.
The regression parameters (slope, intercept and $\mathbf{r}^2$ ) of the observed values vs. predicted values are shown below.

| --- | --- |
| Anti-tTG IgA | 0.5 to 250 U/mL |
| Anti-DGP IgA | 0.2 to 250 U/mL |

# ii) Dilution Recovery:
The BioPlex 2200 instrument has the ability to perform 1:10 onboard dilution of samples using wash buffer as the diluent. The BioPlex 2200 instrument has dilution screen for loading and analysis of diluted specimens. If this option is selected, the instrument will automatically run any sample that has a result $>250~\mathrm{U / mL}$ by further diluting it by a factor of 10.
To confirm the onboard dilution function, high positive specimens with results above the analytical measuring range were selected for each assay. The samples were run with the onboard dilution function enabled on the BioPlex 2200 instrument. Then the specimens were manually diluted the same way as it happens in the onboard dilution function (10 fold dilution), and tested on the BioPlex 2200 instrument. The results were within the analytical measuring range after onboard dilution or manual dilution for all specimens. The percent-recoveries in onboard dilution compared to manual dilution are tabulated below.
{11}
| Celiac Assay | # of Samples | Range (U/mL) | Minimum Recovery (%) | Maximum Recovery (%) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anti-tTG IgA | 23 | 354 - 1791 | 93% | 112% |
| Anti-DGP IgA | 21 | 277 - 2325 | 93% | 110% |
| Anti-tTG IgG | 21 | 280- 1963 | 92% | 109% |
| Anti-DGP IgG | 18 | 277 - 2084 | 86% | 110% |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
i) Traceability: There is no international or certified reference material available for Celiac anti-tTG and anti-DGP IgA and IgG. The calibrators are assigned relative arbitrary units (U/mL).
ii) Calibrator and controls: The calibrators are manufactured independently from the controls, and are stabilized with <0.3% ProClin® 300, <0.1% sodium benzoate, and <0.1% sodium azide. Calibrator assignment is established for matched lots of BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA or IgG kit and calibrators using a master set of calibrators as reference and replicate analyses on multiple BioPlex® 2200 instruments. The BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA or IgG Reagent Kit is calibrated using a set of five (5) distinct calibrators for anti-tTG and anti-DGP IgG or IgA, which are used to establish points of reference for determining the presence of Celiac IgA or IgG in human specimens.
The negative control has been tested to give results with values below the cut-off for each assay. The positive control is prepared by blending human disease state serum with negative serum matrix and is manufactured to give results with values above the assay cut-off. The positive controls are manufactured to give positive results, with values above the cut-off for each specific analyte. The negative control is manufactured to give negative results, with values below the cut-off for each specific analyte.
iii) Stability: Stability studies have been performed to support the following claims:
Calibrator and Control: BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG Control and Calibrator Sets: Calibrator Open Vial Stability (2 to 8°C), 60 days from first opening; Control Open Vial Stability (2 to 8°C), 60 days from first opening; Calibration Curve On-board Stability, 30 days; Calibrators and Controls Real Time Stability (2 to 8°C), 9 months; labeled as until expiration date; Calibrators and Controls Accelerated Stability (2 to 8°C), 2.5 years predicted. Calibrators and controls were shown to be stable after 5 freeze-thaw cycles at either -20°C or -80°C.
Kit Stability: BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG Kit: Real-time (unopened) Kit Stability is 9 months or until the date of expiration when stored unopened on the instrument or at 2 to 8°C. The Open kit claim is 60 days.
{12}
Serum Sample Stability: Sample stability studies were also performed: Sample stability fresh (2 to $8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ ), 7 days; Sample stability frozen (-20 or -80°C), 8 months; Sample Freeze-thaw (-20 or -80°C), up to 3-freeze/thaw cycles acceptable.
# d. Detection limit:
Three (3) serum samples per assay with analyte concentration near cutoff (15 U/mL) were serially diluted in a factor of 2 in negative human serum (IgG depleted) to a concentration level of $0.54\mathrm{U / mL}$ (anti-DGP IgA), $0.64\mathrm{U / mL}$ (anti-tTG IgA), $0.73\mathrm{mL}$ (anti-DGP IgG), $0.61\mathrm{U / mL}$ (anti-tTG IgG). Each dilution was assayed daily in replicates of 12 for a period of five days (60 data points total per dilution) on one BioPlex 2200 instrument. All assays used a passing on-board calibration and assay controls were run prior to samples.
The BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG LoD was calculated based on CLSI EP17-A guideline as “LoD = LoB + cβSDs”. For this calculation, the LoB was calculated at the 95th percentile of negative samples. cβ is the 95th percentile of the standard Gaussian distribution with a correction factor applied to account for the biased estimate of the population standard deviation (1.645/(1-1/(4xf)), where f is the degrees of freedom of the estimated standard deviation SDs. LoQ = LoD if the %CV of LoD is less than or equal to 20%; otherwise, LoQ was calculated from the regression line of the LoD standard deviation versus the analyte concentration. The results of LoQ, LoD and LoB are summarized in the table below.
| BioPlex® 2200 Celiac Assay | LoQ (U/mL) | LoD (U/mL) | LoB (U/mL) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anti-tTG IgA | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.4 |
| Anti-DGP IgA | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.0 |
| Anti-tTG IgG | 0.8 | 0.8 | 0.6 |
| Anti-DGP IgG | 0.4 | 0.1 | 0.0 |
# e. Analytical specificity:
i) Interferences: An interfering substance study was conducted in pooled serum samples at multiple analyte levels including below cut-off (<15 U/mL), low positive (15 to 25 U/mL), medium positive (40 to 60 U/mL) and high positive (78 to 160 U/mL), to evaluate the potential interference of specific endogenous and exogenous substances with the BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits according to CLSI EP7-A2. Bias exceeding 20% was considered interference.
Results showed no interference from the endogenous substances tested, except anti-tTG IgA and IgG at hemolysate level above hemoglobin concentration of $63\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . The substances and the maximum levels tested are shown in the table below:
{13}

*for anti-DGP IgA and IgG only
ii) Cross-Reactivity (Clinical): A cross-reactivity study was performed to determine if samples from individuals with various disease states and other potentially interfering factors interfere with test results from the BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA or IgG kit. The table below shows the number (N) of samples containing potential cross reactants as disease state evaluated by the BioPlex® Celiac IgA and IgG kits. The cross reactivity was obtained as the positivity rate from the ratio of the number of samples scored positive by the BioPlex® Celiac IgA and IgG assays to the total number of cross reactant samples evaluated.
| Cross Reactive Disease State | N | Anti-tTG IgA | | Anti-DGP IgA | | Anti-tTG IgG | | Anti-DGP IgG | |

* 1 sample exhibited repeated instrument error flags and was excluded from the anti-tTG IgA and IgG data analysis.
iii) Cross-Reactivity in the multiplex (Analytical):
The BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits are immunoassays and detect
{14}
autoantibodies to DGP and tTG in a multiplex format. Five to eight patient samples (representing from low to high) were tested in presence of increasing concentrations of DGP or tTG antigens. Inhibition titers were evaluated for the five microspheres (i.e., DGP beads, tTG beads, Internal Standard bead (ISB), Serum Verification bead (SVB) and IgA Verification Bead (AVB)). The BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA Kit was evaluated for DGP IgA and tTG IgA concentrations, SVB values, ISB signal and AVB values and recoveries in patient samples in the presence of (a) added DGP antigen and (b) added tTG Antigen. Similarly, BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgG Kit was evaluated for DGP IgG and tTG IgG concentrations, SVB values, and ISB signal and recoveries in patient samples in the presence of (a) added DGP antigen and (b) added tTG antigen. The data from these studies demonstrate that recombinant DGP and tTG coupled microspheres in the BioPlex 2200 Celiac IgA or IgG devices specifically detect antibodies to DGP or tTG, respectively.
In addition, phycoerythrin (PE) conjugated murine monoclonal anti-human IgA or IgG and PE conjugated sheep anti-human Factor XIII were tested for cross-reactivity. The signal intensity (RFI) and specificity of each conjugate was evaluated by mixing/incubating the conjugates with microspheres covalently coupled with immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G and Factor XIII, and subsequently analyzing on the BioPlex 2200. The results of these tests demonstrate that each PE conjugate is specific for their intended antibody target while showing no cross reactivity to the other antibodies in the multiplex mixture.
f. Assay cut-off:
The cutoff value and assignment of the calibrators are determined by performing concordance testing and Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analysis using the clinical diagnosis as the standard. The study to determine the Celiac IgA or IgG assay cutoff is comprised of two sample groups – one clinical cohort has 123 samples from patients diagnosed as celiac disease and 112 from non-celiac or other rheumatic disease control donors. It was later confirmed by testing 298 samples from apparently healthy donors.
The cut-off was established to achieve an optimal clinical specificity while accepting the resultant clinical sensitivity. For anti-tTG IgA or IgG and for anti-DGP IgA or IgG, the cut-off is 15.0 U/mL.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The performance of the BioPlex® 2200 Celiac IgA and IgG kits was evaluated in retrospectively collected /repository samples, including 156 samples from patients diagnosed with celiac disease 163 from patients with other rheumatic or non-CD disease control, celiac IgA deficient patients, and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) patients.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
