## 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.

## Regulatory 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.

I. Device Description: The kit is an immunoblot method to detect IgG antibodies against B. burgdorferi antigens. The nitrocellulose test strips are coated with purified recombinant B. burgdorferi antigens (10) and quality control lines (3) in specific positions. To perform the test, serum or plasma is incubated with individual B. burgdorferi Test Strips. In positive sera antibodies specifically bind to one or more of the test lines on the strip. The strips are washed according to the protocol, and then the pre-diluted, ready-to-use Conjugate is added to the

{1}

test strips. After incubation and wash steps, the ready-to-use Substrate is added to the strips. During a 10 minute (±4 min) incubation, conjugate and substrate binding produces visible blue/purple lines for Serum Addition Control (SAC), Conjugate Addition Control (CAC) and Cut-Off Control lines. If the sample is positive for any of the antigen coated test lines, it will show a reaction more intense than the Cut-Off line. Reactions are read visually and reported.

The 29 discrepant specimens from the above study were tested on two additional commercially available B. burgdorferi IgG Western blot methods. Results of the Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test were compared to the consensus (2/3 comparator) results. The 12 positives by MarStripe remained positive by consensus testing and the 17 negatives by MarStripe were found to be positives.

b. Matrix comparison: To establish equivalence of serum vs. plasma (K₂-EDTA) matrix, 10 pairs of sera/plasma (samples A-J below) were sourced from specimens tested with an FDA cleared Lyme EIA assay. Two of these were Western blot IgG positive, 8 were negative. These specimens were selectively pooled to create another set of 10 samples (samples 1-10 below), including 3 Western blot IgG positives and 7 negatives. These samples were assayed on the Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test. Qualitative agreement for all pairs was 100%.

# 3. Clinical studies:

a. Clinical Sensitivity: 94 well characterized Lyme disease clinical specimens were tested with the Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test. Specimens included samples from early, early disseminated, and late phases of the disease. The sensitivity obtained was compared with that of the predicate device.

{8}

|  Interval | n | Lyme IgG MarStripe Test |   | Predicate IgG WB  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |   |  positive | % | positive | %  |
|  Early Lyme (stage 1) | 22 | 4 | 18.2 | 3 | 13.6  |
|  Early disseminated (stage 2) | 44 | 12 | 27.3 | 11 | 25.0  |
|  Late Lyme (stage 3) | 28 | 5 | 17.9 | 5 | 17.9  |
|  Overall | 94 | 21 | 19.5 | 19 | 20.2  |

Sensitivity Comparison:
Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test: 22.3% (21/94) (95% CI: 14.7%-32.3%)
Predicate device: 20.2% (19/94) (95% CI: 12.9%-30.0%)
Difference in proportion: 2.1%

CDC Panel Testing: A reference panel from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Lyme Disease Validation Panel n=10, Lyme Disease Basic Research Panel n=32) were tested on the Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test and the predicate device.

|  Interval | n | Lyme IgG MarStripe Test |   | Predicate IgG WB  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |   |  positive | % | positive | %  |
|  Controls | 25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0  |
|  Early Lyme (stage 1) | 10 | 1 | 10 | 1 | 10  |
|  Early disseminated (stage 2) | 3 | 3 | 100 | 3 | 100  |
|  Late Lyme (stage 3) | 4 | 4 | 100 | 4 | 100  |

Note: The results are presented as a means to convey further information on the performance of this assay with a masked, characterized serum panel. This does not imply an endorsement of the assay by the CDC.

b. Clinical specificity: N/A
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable): N/A

4. Clinical cut-off: N/A

5. Expected values/Reference range:
The performance of the Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test was evaluated in clinical studies using sera obtained from the following: 1) patients meeting a case definition for Lyme disease based on physician diagnosis, B. burgdorferi culture, and

{9}

other laboratory tests; 2) patients for whom requests were made for routine B. burgdorferi serology tests; and 3) apparently healthy individuals from endemic and non-endemic regions for Lyme disease.

The presence of B. burgdorferi specific bands observed by testing with Lyme B. burgdorferi (IgG) MarStripe Test in different specimens is presented below.
