Specimens found to be negative on direct specimen examination should be tested by cell culture. #### Predicate Devices: - 1. Bartels HSV Fluorescent Monoclonal Antibody Test The Bartels HSV reagent is a direct immunofluorescence test intended for the detection of HSV type 1 and HSV type 2 viruses in direct specimen and for culture confirmation. For in vitro diagnostic use. - 2. Meridian Merifluor™ VZV The Meridian VZV reagent is a direct immunofluorescence test for the detection of varicella-zoster virus in direct specimens and for culture confirmation. For in vitro diagnostic use. - 3. DPC PathoDx® Herpes Typing Kit The DPC HSV typing kit is a direct immunofluorescence test containing two reagents for the detection of HSV type 1 or HSV type 2 in direct specimens and for culture confirmation. For in vitro diagnostic use. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 510K Notification for SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay Amendment A: April 28, 1999 - 4. Light Diagnostics Varicella-zoster virus DFA The Light Diagnostic VZV reagent is a direct immunofluorescence test for the detection of VZV in direct specimens and for culture confirmation. For in vitro diagnostic use. ## Device description: Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay utilizes a single reagent for the simultaneous detection and identification of HSV and VZV. The primary component, specific for both HSV 1 and 2 will bind to 155kD major capsid protein in HSV-infected cells. The secondary component, specific for VZV, will bind to glycoprotein gp I and the immediate early antigen in VZV-infected cells. Unbound reagent is removed by rinsing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Illumination with ultraviolet light allows visualization of the antigen-antibody complexes by fluorescence microscopy. When a FITC filter set is used, the HSV antigen-antibody complex will exhibit an apple green fluorescence and the VZV antigen-antibody complex will fluoresce yellow-gold. Uninfected cells stain a dull red due to the presence of Evans blue in the reagent. A blend of monoclonal antibodies directed against HSV and VZV is used in the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent. The use of monoclonal antibodies ensures increased specificity of the reagent and reduces the risk of non-specific background or interference. #### Technological Comparison of Methods: The Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay is substantially equivalent to Bartels HSV Fluorescent Monoclonal Antibody Test, DPC PathoDx® Herpes Typing Kit, Meridian Merifluor™ VZV, and the Light Diagnostics VZV DFA: - A. Three methods are intended for use in the detection of HSV antigens in patient specimens and infected cells. - B. Three methods are intended for use in the detection of VZV antigens in patient specimens and infected cells. - C. All five methods are in vitro test methods. - D. All five methods use a direct immunofluorescence assay procedure for staining of slides using FITC filter sets. {2}------------------------------------------------ The methods differ in that: - A. The Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay consists of only one reagent that contains specific monoclonal antibodies labeled with two different fluorescent labels. This allows visualization of both viruses in one well. The Bartels reagent contains FITC-labeled monoclonal antibodies directed against HSV type 1 and type 2, the DPC kit consists of two FITC-labeled monoclonal antibodies directed against HSV type 1 or HSV type 2, and the Meridian reagent and the Light Diagnostics reagent each contains FITC-labeled monoclonal antibodies directed against VZV. Two or three completely separate tests are necessary to detect both viruses in one sample. ## Performance Data for Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay: - 1. Non-clinical evaluation: The monoclonal antibodies directed against VZV used in the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent are identical to those used in the Light Diagnostics VZV DFA, cleared for in vitro diagnostic use (K951799). The monoclonal antibodies directed against HSV used in the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent were characterized for their ability to detect HSV types 1 and 2. These antibodies reacted concordantly when tested with reference viral strains and clinical isolates. The conjugated monoclonal antibodies were also evaluated for cross reactivity to a variety of viruses and bacteria, and cell lines commonly used to isolate HSV. No reactivity was observed. - 2. Clinical evaluation: The Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay was compared in clinical evaluation to culture confirmation for the detection and identification of HSV and VZV in patient specimens at 2 separate sites, the northeast (Site 1), and the west coast (Site 2). The Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent was compared to the Bartels HSV reagent, the DPC PathoDx® Herpes Typing, the Meridian Merifluor™ VZV reagent, and the Light Diagnostics VZV reagent for the detection and identification of HSV and VZV in direct specimens and following isolation in culture. {3}------------------------------------------------ #### 510K Notification for SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay Amendment A: April 28, 1999 At Site 1, 203 specimens were tested for the presence of HSV or VZV. Site 1 is a hospital laboratory in the northeast region of the US which also acts as a regional reference lab. On patient specimens the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent had a sensitivity of 64.7% (95% Confidence Interval of 50.1% to 77.62%) and a specificity of 97.5% (95% Confidence Interval of 91.3% to 99.7%) compared to culture for the identification of HSV, and a sensitivity of 100% (95% Confidence Interval of 83.2% to 100%) and a specificity of 85.7% (95% Confidence Interval of 79.2% to 92.2%) compared to culture for the identification of VZV. After amplification in culture the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent had a relative sensitivity of 100% (95% Confidence Interval of 93.8% to 100%) and a relative specificity of 100% (95% Confidence Interval of 97.1% to 100%) compared to the predicate device for detection of HSV. and a relative sensitivity of 95.2% (95% Confidence Interval of 76.2% to 99.9%) and a relative specificity of 100% (95% Confidence Interval of 97% to 100%) compared to the predicate device for detection of VZV. At Site 2, 283 specimens were submitted to a hospital laboratory for HSV and / or VZV testing. Of these, 236 specimens were tested for the presence of HSV and VZV in direct specimens. Site 2 is a hospital laboratory on the west coast. Direct specimen slides were stained with the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent and the results compared to culture. The SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV reagent had a sensitivity of 82.4% (95% Confidence Interval of 56.6% - 96.2% ) and specificity of 99.5% (95% Confidence Interval 97.5% -100%) for the detection of HSV in direct specimens compared to culture. For the detection of VZV in patient specimens, the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV had a sensitivity of 100% (95% Confidence Interval 71.5% - 100%) and a specificity of 99.1% 95% (Confidence Interval 96.9% - 99.9%) when compared to culture. - 3. Conclusions drawn from evaluations: Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV uses a a standard Light direct immunofluorescence assay procedure for the detection of HSV and VZV in patient specimens and in cell culture. The monoclonal antibodies used in the reagent have been characterized to ensure specificity and reliability of the product. In clinical evaluations, the performance characteristics of the reagent was shown to be substantially equivalent to those of Bartels HSV reagent, DPC's HSV typing kit, Meridians Merifluor™ VZV reagent, and Light Diagnostics VZV reagent. The characterization and clinical evaluation of the Light Diagnostics SimulFluor™ HSV/VZV Immunofluorescence Assay demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of this product when used as intended as described in the product insert. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
