Indications for Use
Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test is an immunoblot assay for the in vitro qualitative detection of human IgG antibody to individual proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum or plasma (K₂-EDTA) in samples which have been found positive or equivocal using an EIA or IFA test procedure to provide supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi.
Device Story
Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test is an immunoblot assay for detecting IgG antibodies against B. burgdorferi antigens. Input: human serum or plasma (K2-EDTA) previously screened as positive/equivocal by EIA or IFA. Operation: patient sample incubated with nitrocellulose test strips containing purified B. burgdorferi antigens and control lines; reactive antibodies bind to antigens; anti-human IgG-HRP conjugate and TMB substrate added to produce visible blue/purple lines. Output: visual qualitative assessment of band intensity compared to a Cut-Off control line. Interpretation: strips with 5 or more of 10 test lines are positive for specific IgG antibody. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results provide supportive evidence of B. burgdorferi infection, aiding clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study of 753 prospectively collected specimens compared the subject device to the predicate. Positive agreement was 92.9% (95% CI: 88.6%-95.7%) and negative agreement was 97.7% (95% CI: 95.9%-98.7%). Discrepant analysis using two additional Western blot methods confirmed the subject device's performance. Sensitivity was evaluated using 94 well-characterized clinical specimens (19.5% overall) and CDC reference panels (16.7% overall), showing performance comparable to the predicate. Analytical specificity was 99.5% (n=219). Interference and matrix equivalence (serum vs. plasma) studies showed 100% qualitative agreement.
Technological Characteristics
Immunoblot assay using nitrocellulose test strips with purified B. burgdorferi antigens and control lines (SAC, CAC, Cut-Off). Reagents include sample diluent (BSA/PBS), anti-human IgG-HRP conjugate, and TMB substrate. Qualitative visual readout. Manual test procedure. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of human IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi in human serum or plasma (K₂-EDTA) for patients previously testing positive or equivocal by EIA or IFA, to provide supportive evidence of Lyme disease infection. For prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), the Treponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies to Treponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Treponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.
