Regulatory Classification
Identification
An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

## B Principle of Operation:
The Alegria Flash ENA Screen kit is designed to detect human anti-Jo-1, SSA-52, SSA-60, SS-B, Scl-70, Sm, or SmRNP IgG autoantibodies, in human serum. The Alegria Flash ENA Screen Kit test procedure involves three main steps. Sample diluent, test sera, and antigen-coated magnetic particles are added to a reaction cuvette. During the initial incubation, autoantibodies specific to Jo-1, SSA-52, SSA-60, SS-B, Scl-70, Sm, or SmRNP present in the serum will bind to the immobilized antigens. The beads are then washed to remove unbound antibodies and other serum components. An acridinium ester-conjugated anti-human IgG solution is then added to the reaction cuvette. During the second incubation, the conjugate reacts with IgG autoantibodies that are immobilized on the magnetic particles in step 1. The beads are then washed to remove unbound conjugate. Two trigger solutions are added to the cuvette containing immobilized acridinium ester conjugate, causing a flash chemiluminescence reaction to occur. The light signal released by the chemiluminescence reaction is measured by a photomultiplier within the Alegria Flash analyzer and the signal is reported as relative light units (RLU). RLU values are converted to CLIA Units using the instrument’s Alegria Flash software. CLIA Unit values that are above or equal to the cut-off value of 100 CLIA Units are indicative of the presence of selected anti-ENA antibodies within the original serum sample.

4. Assay Reportable Range:
Not applicable
5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Traceability:
Currently there are no recognized international standards for the measurement of Jo-1, SSA-52, SSA-60, SS-B, Scl-70, Sm, and SmRNP. The calibrators and controls are directly traceable to in house standards.
Reagent stability:
Shelf-life: The reagent stability studies were designed and conducted following CLSI EP25-Ed2. To assess the shelf-life stability of the Alegria Flash ENA Screen kits, six serum samples and two controls were assessed in singlicate using Alegria Flash ENA Screen kits that were stored for 1 day, or for up to 6 months at 2-8°C. The results support that the Alegria Flash ENA Screen kits are stable when stored unopened at 2-8°C for up to five months.
On-board stability: The onboard storage stability of the Alegria Flash ENA Screen kit was determined by testing three serum samples and two controls using Alegria Flash ENA Screen reagents stored opened within the Alegria Flash's refrigerated reagent bay or within the refrigerator at 2-8°C. The opened Alegria Flash ENA Screen kits were assessed after up to 5 weeks of storage. The results of the study support that Alegria Flash ENA Screen reagents are stable when stored onboard or at 2-8°C for four weeks.
Sample stability:
The sample stability studies were designed and conducted following CLSI EP25-Ed2. To assess the stability of patient samples, three serum samples were stored up to 20 days at 2-8°C or at room temperature. The samples were then assessed using three replicates and the
K250408 - Page 8 of 11
{8}
percent recovery in comparison to the unmanipulated, baseline sample was determined for each storage condition. The results support that patient serum samples are stable when stored for up to 19 days at 2-8°C or at room temperature.
To determine the stability of patient samples subjected to multiple freeze/thaw cycles, three serum samples were subjected up to 5 rounds of freeze/thaw cycles, consisting of 12 hours of storage at -20°C and a subsequent thaw. The samples were assessed for each condition using three replicates and the percent recovery in comparison to the unmanipulated, baseline sample was determined for each freeze/thaw cycle. The results support that patient serum samples are stable when frozen at -20°C and thawed for a maximum of 4 times.
6. Detection Limit:
Not applicable
7. Assay Cut-Off:
The cut-off of the Alegria Flash ENA Screen is 100 Units.
To validate this cut-off, 30 ANA positive clinically characterized serum samples and 90 apparently healthy serum donor samples that were not used in any other studies were tested using the Alegria Flash ENA Screen. All known ANA positive samples were found to be positive for the Alegria Flash ENA Screen.

# D Clinical Cut-Off:
Refer to the assay cut-off section (VII.A.7) above.
# E Expected Values/Reference Range:
The frequency of ENA autoantibody positivity was investigated in a cohort of 200 serum samples from apparently healthy donors. The samples were equally distributed across age and sex. The samples were tested using the Alegria Flash ENA Screen on the Alegria Flash instrument. Eight samples $(4.0\%)$ were positive.
# VIII Proposed Labeling:
The labeling supports the finding of substantial equivalence for this device.
# IX Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
