Indications for Use
Sofia Lyme FIA: The Sofia Lyme FIA employs immunofluorescence for the rapid differential detection of human IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi from serum and plasma specimens from patients suspected of B. burgdorferi infection. This qualitative test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. A negative result does not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. All positive results for IgM and/or IgG should be further tested by a corresponding second-tier western blot assay. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient’s clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures. Sofia Lyme Control Set: The Sofia Lyme Control Set is intended for use as assayed quality control materials to verify the performance of the Sofia Lyme FIA test system.
Device Story
Sofia Lyme FIA is an immunofluorescence-based lateral flow assay for qualitative detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Input: 30 µL serum/plasma specimen added to pre-filled reagent vial; 100 µL diluted sample dispensed into test cassette. Operation: Cassette loaded into Sofia instrument for automated development (WALK AWAY mode) or pre-incubated (READ NOW mode). Sofia instrument scans test strip, analyzes fluorescent signal via Europium chelate-dyed microparticles, and displays IgM/IgG results (positive, negative, or invalid). Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare personnel. Output: Qualitative results on instrument screen or printed report. Clinical decision-making: Results serve as first-tier screening; positive results require second-tier western blot confirmation. Benefits: Rapid differential detection of IgM/IgG antibodies to aid Lyme disease diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated via prospective (n=678) and retrospective (n=52) studies, plus CDC panel testing. Prospective study: IgM 1st-tier PPA 56.4%, 2nd-tier PPA 89.2%; IgG 1st-tier PPA 82.5%, 2nd-tier PPA 89.3%. Retrospective study: IgM 1st-tier PPA 90.3%, 2nd-tier PPA 90.9%; IgG 1st-tier PPA 100%, 2nd-tier PPA 100%. Analytical specificity was 90.0% for both IgM and IgG. Study included cross-reactivity testing against 17 disease states.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral-flow bi-directional test cassette; immunofluorescence principle. Detection uses polystyrene microparticles dyed with Europium chelate. Reagents include recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides of B. burgdorferi, monoclonal anti-human IgG, and polyclonal anti-human IgM. Instrument-based automated analysis (Sofia analyzer). Storage at room temperature (15-30°C).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients suspected of Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Used for rapid differential detection of human IgM and IgG antibodies in serum and plasma specimens. Positive results require second-tier western blot confirmation. Negative results do not preclude infection.
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.
