## Indications for Use

AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE is a kinetic enzyme immunometric assay system designed for the measurement of allergen-specific IgE in serum. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergic disorders.

## Device Story

AlaSTAT Microplate Mixed Allergen Panels are in vitro diagnostic reagents for detecting allergen-specific IgE antibodies in patient serum. The device utilizes a liquid-phase enzyme immunometric assay in a microplate format. Specific allergens are covalently attached to a soluble polymer/copolymer matrix, allowing presentation of determinants to circulating IgE. The liquid-phase kinetics improve binding efficiency and allow for exact titering compared to solid-phase allergosorbent assays. The system enables coupling of allergens via hydroxyl, thiol, or carboxy groups, not just amino groups, increasing the range of detectable allergens, including carbohydrates. The assay is performed in a laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results are reported in kilo-Units per liter (kU/L) and as a Class number. Physicians use these results in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings to identify specific allergen sensitivities, aiding in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, and other pulmonary disorders.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Clinical performance was demonstrated by comparing the Mixed Allergen Panels against the predicate AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE system. Studies for Food Panels 5, 6, 7, Grass Panels 2, 3, and Dust Panel 1 showed high agreement (92.1% to 97.2%), relative sensitivity (85.3% to 100%), and relative specificity (92.3% to 100%) across various allergen-specific comparisons.

## Technological Characteristics

Liquid-phase enzyme immunometric assay in microplate format. Allergens are covalently attached to a soluble polymer/copolymer matrix. Detection of IgE via enzyme-linked reaction. Quantitative output in kU/L and Class number. No specific materials or software algorithms described beyond standard immunoassay reagents.

## Regulatory Identification

A radioallergosorbent immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the allergen antibodies (antibodies which cause an allergic reaction) specific for a given allergen. Measurement of specific allergen antibodies may aid in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, and other pulmonary disorders.

## Intended Use of the Devices:

AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE is a kinetic enzyme immunometric assay system designed for the measurement of allergen-specific IgE in serum. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergic disorders.

## Summary and Explanation of the test:

Many allergies are mediated by immunoglobulins of the IgE class. In sensitized individuals suffering from this immediate (atopic or anaphylactic) type of allergy, IgE molecules act as points of contact between the allergen and specialized cells that release histamine and other agents upon exposure to the allergen; this initiates the events which we recognize as allergic reactions. When evaluated in the light of other clinical and laboratory findings, in vitro allergenspecific IgE tests can help the physician identify the allergens) to which an individual is sensitive.

## Performance Equivalence- Technology Comparison:

The AlaSTAT Microplate Mixed Allergen Panels use exactly the same technology used in the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE assays.

The AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE (and therefore the Mixed Allergen Panels) is a liquid-phase immuno-enzymometric assay in a microplate format for the detection of circulating allergen-specific IgE antibodies. The specific allergens are covalently attached to a soluble polymer/copolymer matrix, thus permitting optimum presentation of the determinants to circulating IgE antibodies. Both the Specific Allergen Modules (predicate device) and the Mixed Allergen Panels (510k device submitted) for AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE allergy tests are performed in the same manner as all other AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE tests. Test results are given in both kilo-Units per liter (kU/L) and as a Class number.

Use of the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System offers benefits to both the patient and the laboratory. The liquid phase kinetics allows for a more rapid assay and decreases the

probability that steric hindrance will interfere with proper allergen-IgE binding. In addition, the liguid feature of the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System enables exact titering unlike allergens bound to solid surfaces, for which incremental adjustments are not possible. This allows for improved inter-lot precision. The liquid feature also eliminates variability introduced by the solid support itself.

The AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System offers patient benefits due to an additional technological difference from allergosorbent type assays. The chemistry of coupling of allergens to the ImmunoCAP necessitates the presence of an amino functional group (NH2) in the chemical structure of the allergen. Coupling to the ImmunoCAP is always through the amino group which is not present in certain allergens. Proteins also contain other functional groups such as hydroxyl groups (OH), thiol groups (SH), and carboxy) groups (COOH). These functional groups are not directly available for coupling in the allergosorbent type of assay, but are available for coupling in the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System. These facts have important implications for the performance of the assay.

First, coupling of the allergen to the support in the allergosorbent type assay necessitates either direct bonding of the amino group to the solid surface or a modification of the allergen so that it may be bound to the solid surface. Either possibility may result in interference in the recognition of the allergen by the allergen-specific antibody. In addition, allergens are often carbohydrates which do not contain amino groups. Carbohydrate allergens can only be directly coupled to paper disc surfaces if the carbohydrate is bound to protein. This, in effect, restricts the ability to detect carbohydrate allergens in the allergosorbent type assay. In the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System, carbohydrates may be coupled via their hydroxyl groups so that allergens may be available for recognition which are not available in any allergosorbent type By coupling allergens through a combination of functional groups in the AlaSTAT assav. Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System, the user can be assured that all antigens in an allergen extract are presented to the antibody in multiple conformations, increasing the likelihood that proper recognition and binding will take place. Thus, a false positive result (when compared with an allergosorbent type assay) may actually represent the detection of true allergen-specific IgE not detectable by allergosorbent type assays. This represents a benefit to the patient not afforded by other existing technologies.

Finally, the AlaSTAT Microplate Allergen-Specific IgE System increases the potential number of immunocomplexes that can be immobilized on a solid support since only a few ligands need to be attached to the ligand matrix in order to affect complete immobilization of the entire immunocomplex. This results in a greater possible signal generated per binding site on the plate. In addition, many sterically unrestricted allergen molecules are available for binding by specific IgE in close physical proximity to one another, thus making the allergen-IgE binding a more efficient process. Together these and other factors result in the requirement for less allergen per assay than a disc-based assay (provided equipotent allergen extracts are available). Thus, the quantity of allergen present in each assay is not comparable to the amount of allergen present on atypical allergosorbent disc or other solid phase support.
