Intended Use

The Varelisa ß2-Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgG antibodies in serum or plasma. The presence of B2-glycoprotein I antibodies can be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders related to the primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome or occurring secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases.

Device Story

Indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for semiquantitative/qualitative detection of ß2-glycoprotein I IgG antibodies in human serum or plasma. Device utilizes microplate strips coated with human purified ß2-glycoprotein I antigen. Patient sample added; specific antibodies bind to antigen. Enzyme-labeled conjugate added, binding to antigen-antibody complex. Substrate added; color formation rate proportional to antibody concentration. Performed in clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Output is optical density (OD) measurement used to determine antibody presence/concentration. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing thrombotic disorders related to Antiphospholipid Syndrome or secondary to autoimmune conditions like SLE. Benefits include standardized diagnostic support for autoimmune-related thrombosis.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparison study performed using positive, equivocal, and negative sera, externally defined calibrators, and samples from healthy subjects. Data demonstrates performance consistent with medical literature and comparability to predicate device. No clinical prospective/retrospective trials reported.

Technological Characteristics

Indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Components: microplate strips coated with human purified ß2-glycoprotein I antigen, calibrators, controls, enzyme-labeled conjugate, substrate, stop solution, buffers. Manual or automated plate processing. Standalone diagnostic test system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients suspected of having thrombotic disorders related to primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome or secondary to systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

### Intended Use Statement

The Varelisa ß2-Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies EIA kit is designed for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgG antibodies in serum or plasma.

The presence of B2-glycoprotein I antibodies can be used in conjunction with clinical findings and other laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders related to the primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome or occurring secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or other autoimmune diseases.

## General Description of the Device

Varelisa B .- Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies Assay is an indirect The noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2-glycoprotein I IgG antibodies in serum or plasma.

The test kit contains microplate strips coated with human purified ß2glycoprotein I, calibrators, positive and negative controls, enzyme-labeled conjugate, substrate and substrate stop solution, buffered diluent and wash buffer.

# Varelisa® ß2-Glycoprotein IgG Antibodies Test Principle

Varelisa ß2-Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies is an indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassay for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of ß2glycoprotein I IgG antibodies in human serum or plasma. The wells of a microplate are coated with human purified ß2-glycoprotein I antigen. Antibodies specific for ß2-glycoprotein I present in the patient sample bind to the antigen.

In a second step the enzyme labeled second antibody (conjugate) binds to the antigen-antibody complex which leads to the formation of an enzyme labeled conjugate-antibody-antigen complex. The enzyme labeled antigen-antibody complex converts the added substrate to form a colored solution.

The rate of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of conjugate complexed with the bound antibody and thus is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the patient sample.

### Device Comparison

Both assays (the predicate and the new device) are indirect noncompetitive enzyme immunoassays for the semiquantitative and qualitative determination of 1gG antibodies against ß2-glycoprotein I in serum. Both assays recommend the same sample dilutions and use comparable enzyme-linked conjugates and antigens.

Based on currently available data from the literature the measuring of the antibodies against B2-glycoprotein I not only provides aid in the diagnosis of thrombotic disorders secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus or other autoimmune diseases, but also aids in the diagnosis of the primary

{2}------------------------------------------------

antiphospholipid syndrome. Thus the intended use of Varelisa ß2-glycoprotein I Antibodies Screen was adapted to the current state of scientific knowledge. The corresponding literature is cited in the directions for use.

A difference between both assays is that the INOVA QUANTA Lite™ ß2 GPI IgG is only recommended for use in serum specimen while the PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies is outlined for use with serum and plasma. Corresponding performance data underline the effectiveness of the assay with plasma as sample. Minor differences between both assays are restricted to contents of buffers and stop solution. The INOVA QUANTA Lite™ B2 GPI IgG assay is evaluated by using the decision point method. PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies assay uses an ODcutoff for evaluation. Corresponding performance data show the comparability of the results.

## Laboratory equivalence

The comparability of QUANTA LiteTM B2 GPI IgG and Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies is supported by a data set including

- · results obtained within a comparison study analyzing positive, equivocal and negative sera.
- · results obtained for externally defined Calibrators.
- · results obtained for samples from apparently healthy subjects (normal population).

The data show that the assay performs as expected from the medical literature. Furthermore the data show that the device is suitable for serum and plasma samples.

In summary, all available data support that the new device, PHARMACIA Varelisa B2-Glycoprotein I IgG Antibodies Assay is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, INOVA QUANTA Lite™ ß2 GPI IgG Assay, and that the new device performs according to state-of-the-art expectations.
