Indications for Use
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the simultaneous qualitative in vitro detection and differentiation of HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV-1 (groups M and O) and/or HIV-2 in human pediatric (ages 2 through 21 years) and adult serum and serum separator tubes or plasma [lithium heparin, lithium heparin separator tubes, dipotassium (K₂) EDTA, tripotassium (K₃) EDTA, sodium citrate, acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) and citrate phosphate-dextrose (CPD)] using the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection, including acute or primary HIV-1 infection. The assay may also be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in pregnant women. The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay is for use on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer only. This assay is not intended for use for screening donors of blood or blood products or human cells, tissues, or cellular or tissue-based products (HCT/Ps).
Device Story
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay performed on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. It uses a one-step sandwich assay for HIV-1 p24 antigen and a two-step sandwich assay for HIV-1/HIV-2 antibodies. Input samples (serum/plasma) are mixed with paramagnetic particles coated with anti-HIV-1 p24 antibodies and HIV peptides (groups M, O, and HIV-2). After incubation and magnetic separation of unbound materials, a chemiluminescent substrate is added; light output is measured by a luminometer. The system automatically compares light intensity to a stored calibration curve to provide qualitative results (Reactive/Non-reactive). Used in clinical laboratories by technicians to aid in diagnosing HIV infection. The device provides rapid, automated detection, enabling earlier identification of infection compared to some existing methods, supporting timely clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated in a multi-center study of 10,254 samples (9,079 prospective, 1,175 retrospective). Specificity was 99.7% (8,439/8,467) in low and high-risk populations. Clinical sensitivity was 100% (1,787/1,787) in known positive subjects. The study included pediatric, adult, and pregnant cohorts. Seroconversion panels showed the device detected HIV 1-2 bleeds earlier than the comparator in 11/30 panels.
Technological Characteristics
Paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay. Materials: recombinant anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody, HIV peptides (groups M, O, HIV-2), monoclonal anti-tag antibody, alkaline phosphatase conjugate. Energy source: luminometer-based light detection. Form factor: liquid, ready-to-use reagent packs for DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. Connectivity: standalone analyzer. Software: automated qualitative assessment via stored calibration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection and differentiation of HIV-1 p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV-1 (groups M and O) and/or HIV-2 in human serum and plasma. Patient population includes pediatric (ages 2-21) and adult subjects, including pregnant women.

Abbott ARCHITECT™ HIV Ag/Ab Combo, BP090080
## Device Description
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay requires Access HIV Ag/Ab combo (reagent packs), Access HIV Ag/Ab combo Calibrators (C1 and C2), and Access HIV Ag/Ab combo QC (QC1-QC5). The assay for HIV-1 p24 antigen detection (HIV-Ag) is a one-step immunoenzymatic “sandwich” assay. Paramagnetic particles (PMP) coated with recombinant anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody, paramagnetic particles coated with three HIV peptides representing HIV-1 group M, HIV-1 group O and HIV-2 antigens, monoclonal anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and sample are added to a reaction vessel. HIV-1 p24 present in the patient sample is bound in a “sandwich” complex between the anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody coated on the solid phase and the anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody conjugate. After incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. A chemiluminescent substrate is added to the vessel and light generated by the reaction is measured with a luminometer. The light production is compared to the HIV-1 p24 antigen cutoff value defined during calibration of the instrument. Qualitative assessment of HIV-1 p24 antigen is automatically determined from a stored calibration.

The assay for anti-HIV-1 / anti-HIV-2 antibody (HIV-Ab) Detection is a two-step immunoenzymatic “sandwich” assay. Paramagnetic particles coated with recombinant anti-HIV-1 p24 antibody, paramagnetic particles coated with three HIV peptides representing HIV-1 group M, HIV-1 group O and HIV-2 antigens, monoclonal anti-tag antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase, three tagged HIV peptides representing HIV-1 group M, HIV-1 group O and HIV-2 antigens, and sample are added to a reaction vessel. Antibodies to HIV-1 group M, HIV-1 group O or HIV-2 present in the patient sample are bound in a “sandwich” complex between the HIV peptides coated on the solid phase and the tagged HIV peptides/anti-tag conjugate. After incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. The same three tagged HIV peptides and monoclonal anti-tag antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (OVL- overload) are added to the reaction vessel and incubated. After this second incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. A chemiluminescent substrate is added to the vessel and light generated by the reaction is measured with a luminometer. The light production is compared to the antibody cutoff value defined during calibration of the instrument. Qualitative assessment of HIV antibodies is automatically determined from a stored calibration.
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo Calibrators are used to establish calibration (determine the cutoff value) for the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay. By comparing the light intensity generated by a sample to the cutoff value, the presence or absence of human immunodeficiency virus antigen and/or antibodies in the sample is determined. Two calibrators are used with Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay. Calibrator C1 is dedicated to the Ag analysis, while Calibrator C2 is dedicated to the Ab analysis.
Quality control (QC) materials simulate the characteristics of patient samples and are essential for monitoring the system performance of the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo immunoassays. In addition, they are an integral part of good laboratory practices.
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo reagents are provided in liquid ready-to-use format designed for optimal performance on the Beckman Coulter DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer only. Each reagent kit contains two reagent packs. The calibrator kit and QC kit contain one vial per level. Other items needed to run the assay include Lumi-Phos PRO substrate and UniCel DxI Wash Buffer II.

### Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD)
LoB and LoD studies were conducted on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer following methods described in CLSI guideline EP17-A2:2012, *Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures*. LoB was calculated separately for two reagent lots for both serum and plasma using the non-parametric method. The maximum LoB estimates were carried forward in the Limit of Detection (LoD) calculation where precision profile models relating standard deviation and mean S/CO for each sample and reagent lot were used to estimate the LoD. The maximum observed LoB and LoD results for both HIV-1 p24 antigen and HIV antibody are shown in the following table:
| | Limit of Blank (LoB) S/CO | Limit of Detection (LoD) S/CO |
| --- | --- | --- |
| HIV-1 p24 antigen (serum) | 0.28 | 0.30 |
| HIV-1 p24 antigen (plasma) | 0.18 | 0.19 |
| HIV antibody (serum) | 0.08 | 0.10 |
| HIV antibody (plasma) | 0.11 | 0.13 |
### Matrix Comparison
A matrix comparison study established the equivalence of serum and plasma specimens using the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The study was performed using a protocol based on CLSI guideline EP09C, 3rd Edition, *Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples*. Matched donor sets consisting of nine specimen types each were evaluated. Fifty samples were evaluated with the HIV Ag assessment for each sample type. Fifty-three samples were evaluated with the HIV Ab assessment for each sample type. Serum served as the reference tube type. A Passing-Bablok regression analysis (using the mean test sample results versus the mean reference results) was completed for each matrix to determine the regression equation, slope with bootstrap 95% confidence intervals, and the correlation coefficient (r).
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay demonstrated sample type equivalence between serum (no gel) and eight serum/plasma matrices. Passing Bablok regression slopes ranged from 0.90 to 1.00 for the HIV Ag assessment and 0.98 to 1.04 for the HIV Ab assessment.
The Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay detects HIV Ag and Ab in the following matrices.

## Analytical Sensitivity
### Antigen Detection
The analytical sensitivity of the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay for HIV-1 p24 antigen was designed to be less than or equal to 2.00 IU/mL using the WHO International Standard HIV-1 p24 Antigen NIBSC (National Institute for Biological Standards and Controls) code: 90/636.
To examine the analytical sensitivity of the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, a series of dilutions was prepared in serum and plasma samples using the WHO IS 90/636 to target HIV-1 p24 antigen concentrations in the range of 0.10 – 1.00 IU/mL. The dilutions were assayed using three reagent pack lots and three calibrator lots on two DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay analyzers over three days. The analytical sensitivity for each reagent/calibrator lot combination was determined using a linear fit regression of the S/CO versus the WHO IS 90/636 concentrations (IU/mL). The point estimate of the WHO IS concentration corresponding to S/CO = 1.00 and the 95% CI were used in the analytical sensitivity estimation. The maximum overall analytical sensitivity result determined in this study is summarized in the following table:
| Standard | Analytical Sensitivity |
| --- | --- |
| WHO International Standard HIV-1 p24 Antigen NIBSC code: 90/636. | 0.22 IU/mL (1.66 pg/mL*) |
*Conversion from IU/mL to pg/mL of HIV-1 p24 Ag using WHO calibration curve tested on VIDAS® HIV p24 II assay. VIDAS® is a registered trademark of bioMérieux, SA.
### Antibody Detection
There is no internationally recognized standard for HIV-1 or HIV-2 specific antibody.
## Intra-Assay Carryover
Testing was conducted to assess the HIV antigen (Ag) and HIV antibody (Ab) sample-to-sample and sample-to-reagent pack carryover on the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay. Test procedures were based on the guidance document, CLSI guideline EP10-A3, *Preliminary Evaluation of Quantitative Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures*.
No intra-assay carryover was observed with the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay tested on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer.
## Hook Effect
A hook study was performed to evaluate whether high levels of analyte in patient specimens result in a hook effect that changes the reported results of the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer.
For the HIV antibody assessment, there were no changes to the interpretation of the results on three reagent pack lots. For the HIV-1 p24 antigen assessment (up to 1 µg/mL), there were no changes to the interpretation of the results, on three reagent pack lots.
No false negative results due to high-dose hook effect were observed with the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay.

### Determination of Patient Infection Status (PIS)
Clinical sensitivity and specificity of the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay were evaluated on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer compared to the final PIS determined following an algorithm aligned with current CDC recommendations for the diagnosis of HIV infection. All samples were tested with the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay and an FDA approved HIV Ag/Ab combo comparator assay. Samples found repeatedly reactive on the Access HIV Ag/Ab combo assay, or the comparator HIV Ag/Ab combo assay, were investigated further with confirmatory testing using an FDA approved HIV-1/2 differentiation assay (HIV assay with differentiation between HIV-1 and HIV-2) and/or an FDA approved HIV-1 RNA PCR assay as needed. Subjects with indeterminant final HIV PIS were not included in the analysis.
### Clinical Specificity
A total of 7,156 subjects were tested in the low-risk population, including 6,259 low-risk adults, 408 low-risk pediatrics and 489 low-risk pregnant women. A total of 1,514 subjects were tested in the high-risk population, including 570 high-risk adults, 106 high-risk pediatrics, 146 high-risk pregnant women and 692 from HIV-2 endemic regions.
