The assigned 510(k) number is: ### Applicant Information: | Date Prepared: | March 12, 1999 | |-----------------|------------------------------------------| | Name: | Stellar Bio Systems, Inc | | Address: | 9075 Guilford Road<br>Columbia, MD 21046 | | Contact Person: | John Brewer | | PhoneNumber. | 410-381-8550 | | Fax Number. | 410-381-8984 | #### Device Information: | Trade Name: | Indirect Fluorescence Assay for Anti-native DNA (nDNA) IgG Antibody | |----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | Common Name: | nDNA IgG IFA Test | | Classification Name: | nDNA IgG Serological Reagent | uivalent Device: _Jus DNA IFA Device Description: The nDNA IgG IFA is an Indirect Fluorescence Assay (IFA) for the detection of IgG antibodies to nDNA antigen in human serum. Intended Use: The Stellar Bio Systems' Indirect Fluorescence Assay (IFA) for Anti-native DNA (nDNA) IgG Antibody is intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody to nDNA in human serum. Detection of nDNA IgG antibody in humans can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). #### Principle of Procedure: Stellar Bio Systems' fluorescent antibody assays use the indirect method of antibody detection and titer determination. Diluted patient serum sampled to fixed antigens provided on paint delineated wells on glass microscope slides. During a 30 minute incubation, antibody specific for nDNA antigens forms an antigen/antibody complex with the fixed antigens. In a brief washing step, nonspecific antibody and other unreacted serum proteins are eliminated. Fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-human IgG is then applied to the wells of the glass slide. The anti-IgG conjugate combines with human IgG, if present, during a 30 minute incubation. After a brief wash to remove unreacted conjugate, the slides are viewed by fluorescence microssopy. A positive antibody reaction is denoted by bright green fluorescence at the antigen sites. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Performance Characteristics 1. Relative Sensitivity and Specificity - The Stellar nDNA IFA kit was evaluated 1. Actative to a commercially available nDNA IFA. The samples were frozen retrospective relative to a volumerelany arants diagnosed with SLE. Ninety-nine sera were from sora. They bera work were gender, and geographical areas. The data in Table 1 summarizes the data. | Table 1 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Relative Sensitivity and Specificity of the Stellar nDNA IFA Kit Relative to | | Alternate IFA | Stellar nDNA IFA | | | Positive | Negative | Total | |------------------------------------------|----------|-----------------|------------------------------------------|-------| | | | Stellar INSTANT | | | | Alternate<br>IFA | Positive | 25 | 1 | 26 | | | Negative | 1 | 122 | 123 | | | Total | 26 | 123 | 149 | | Relative Sensitivity = $25/26 = 96.2%$ | | | 95% Confidence Interval<br>80.4% - 99.9% | | | Relative Specificity = $122/123 = 99.2%$ | | | 95.6% - 100% | | | Relative Agreement = $147/149 = 98.7%$ | | | 95.2% - 99.8% | | Please be advised that 'relative' refers to the comparison of this assay's results to that of a similar assay. There was not an attempt to correlate the assay's results with disease presence or absence. No judgment can be made on the comparison assay's accuracy to predict disease. - 2. Titer Agreement: 20 positive sera were serially two-fold diluted and the endpoint titer was determined on the Stellar nDNA IFA and a commercially available nDNA IFA. The endpoint titer results are as follows. {2}------------------------------------------------ | Identical Titer | 11/20 | |-------------------------------|-------| | $\pm$ one, two-fold dilution | 7/20 | | $\pm$ two, two-fold dilutions | 2/20 | 3. Reproducibility: Three positive with various titers (1:20, 1:160, 1:640) and one negative sera were serially diluted and assayed three times each on three different assays. 31/36 of the end point titers were identical. 5/36 of the end point titers were within ± one, two-fold dilution. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
