The ADVIA Centaur® Herpes-2 IgG (HSV2) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in human serum and plasma (EDTA and lithium heparin) using the ADVIA Centaur systems. The test is indicated for testing sexually active adults or expectant mothers for aiding in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV infection. The predictive value of a positive or negative result depends on the prevalence of HSV-2 infection in the population and the pre-test likelihood of HSV-2 infection. The test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for immunocompromised patients, pediatric patients or matrices other than human serum and plasma (EDTA and lithium heparin).
Device Story
ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG is a fully automated two-step sandwich immunoassay using indirect chemiluminometric technology. Input: human serum or plasma (EDTA/lithium heparin). Process: specimen incubated with solid phase containing HSV-2-specific recombinant-gG2 antigen; if anti-HSV-2 IgG is present, antigen-antibody complexes form. Lite Reagent containing monoclonal anti-human IgG labeled with acridinium ester is added for detection. Used in clinical laboratories on ADVIA Centaur systems; operated by laboratory technicians. Output: qualitative index value indicating presence or absence of HSV-2 IgG antibodies. Healthcare providers use results to aid in presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. Benefits: provides automated, standardized serological testing for HSV-2 compared to manual immunoblot methods.
Clinical Evidence
Multicenter clinical study of 864 specimens (≥18 years, including 274 pregnant women). Compared to anti-HSV-2 IgG immunoblot and Western Blot confirmatory test. Overall sensitivity 95.3% (95% CI: 92.0%-97.3%), specificity 98.5% (95% CI: 97.2%-99.2%). Pregnant population sensitivity 100.0% (95% CI: 89.9%-100.0%), specificity 98.3% (95% CI: 95.8%-99.4%).
Indicated for sexually active adults or expectant mothers to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. Not for blood/plasma donor screening. Performance not established for immunocompromised or pediatric patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

# Sample matrix
This study was performed on one ADVIA Centaur XP instrument, using 68 sets of matched samples of different matrixes (serum, serum separator tube (SST), EDTA plasma and lithium heparin plasma) from commercial sources.
The samples were analyzed in duplicate in randomized order using one reagent lot.
- . Comparing Serum Separator Tube (y) vs Serum (x): (Deming regression) y = 0.00 + 0.99x, r=0.999, sample range for both matrixes 0.02-9.59 Index Value and 0.02-9.49 Index Value respectively. Note - correlation coefficient is calculated using linear regression.
- Comparing EDTA Plasma(y) vs Serum (x): (Deming regression) y= 0.00 + 0.98 x, ● r=0.998, sample range for both matrixes 0.02-9.59 Index Value and 0.02-9.34 Index Value respectively. Note - correlation coefficient is calculated using linear regression.
- . Comparing Lithium Heparin Plasma(y) vs Serum (x): (Deming regression) y= -0.01 + 0.98 x, r=0.997, sample range for both matrixes 0.02-9.59 Index Value and 0.01-9.23 Index Value respectively. Note - correlation coefficient is calculated using linear regression.
The results supports that Serum Separator Tube is equivalent matrix to Serum, EDTA Plasma is equivalent matrix to Serum and Lithium Heparin Plasma is an equivalent matrix to Serum.

# Clinical study
A multicenter clinical study to compare the reference device with ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG was performed. Sensitivity and specificity were determined by comparing the performance of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay to a commercially available anti-HSV-2 IgG immunoblot method (Comparative Assay) and a validated Western Blot reference confirmatory test (University of Washington, Seattle). A total of 864 specimens (≥ 18 years of age), including specimens from 274 pregnant women, were collected within the United States and tested at 3 independent external laboratories. Of these specimens, 254 were reactive, and 610 were nonreactive with the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay. The overall agreement was 97.6% (843/864) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 96.3%-98.4%. Samples were analyzed in singlicate.
Of the 864 specimens tested by the Comparative Assay, 22 were equivocal and were further tested by the Western Blot test. After Western Blot testing, 20 of the 22 specimens were resolved to be negative and 2 remained equivocal.
| Intended use population | | Comparative Assay<br>Equivocal results have been resolved by Western Blot (WB) | Positive | Negative | Equivocal | Total |
|-------------------------|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----------|-----------|-------|
| ADVIA Centaur HSV2 | Reactive | | 245 | 9 | 0 | 254 |
| | Nonreactive | | 10 | 598 | 2 | 610 |
| | Total | | 255 | 607 | 2 | 864 |
The results obtained for the intended use population are presented below
The sensitivity of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay was 95.3% (245/257), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 92.0%-97.3%.
The specificity of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay was 98.5% (598/607), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 97.2%-99.2%.

Sensitivity and specificity were determined for the pregnant population by comparing the performance of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay to the Comparative Assay and Western Blot confirmatory method. The results of pregnant women samples are presented below:
| Pregnant women | Comparative assay<br>Equivocal results have been resolved by Western Blot (WB) | | | | |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|-----------|-------|-----|
| | Positive | Negative | Equivocal | Total | |
| ADVIA Centaur HSV2 | Reactive | 34 | 4 | 0 | 38 |
| | Nonreactive | 0 | 236 | 0 | 236 |
| | Total | 34 | 240 | 0 | 274 |
### Pregnant women Study Contingency (WB resolution) table
The sensitivity of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay was 100.0% (34/34) with a 95% confidence interval of 89.9%—100.0%.
The specificity of the ADVIA Centaur HSV2 assay was 98.3% (236/240) with a 95% confidence interval of 95.8%–99.4%.
#### 10. Stability
The onboard stability of the ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG reagents is 60 days with a calibration interval of 28 days. The onboard stability of the ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG Calibrators is 8 hours. The opened vial stability of the ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG Calibrators is 65 days. Unopened reagents and calibrators are stable until the date printed on the box label when stored at 2-8°C.
#### 11. Conclusion
The analytical and clinical study results demonstrate that the ADVIA Centaur Herpes-2 IgG are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Focus HerpeSelect 1 and 2 Immunoblot IgG (FDA cleared under K000238), and that the assay is safe and effective for its labeled intended use.

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.
