Intended Use
HemosIL Silica Clotting Time is intended for the detection of Lupus Anticoagulants in human citrated plasma on the IL Coagulation Systems by the use of screening (SCT Screen) and confirmatory (SCT Confirm) reagents sensitized to phospholipids dependent antibodies.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay; detects Lupus Anticoagulants (LA) in human citrated plasma. Uses two liquid reagents: SCT Screen (low phospholipid concentration) and SCT Confirm (high phospholipid concentration); both contain colloidal silica. Includes calcium chloride activator with polybrene to neutralize heparin. Performed on IL Coagulation Systems (ACL Advance, ACL Futura). Principle: LA antibodies interfere with phospholipid-dependent coagulation; high phospholipid concentration in Confirm reagent neutralizes LA effect. Normalized SCT ratio calculated by dividing Screen ratio by Confirm ratio. Ratio >1.24 indicates LA presence. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians; results assist clinicians in diagnosing anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome or related coagulation disorders.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study of 206 citrated plasma samples (121 normal, 85 abnormal) compared the device to predicate devices on an ACL Futura system. Results showed a relative sensitivity of 92.4% (95% CI: 82.1-97.0) and a relative specificity of 100% (95% CI: 97.6-100.0). All 48 known Lupus Anticoagulant samples tested positive (normalized ratio > 1.24). Precision studies (n=80) demonstrated total %CV ranging from 2.95% to 6.00% across three control levels.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid reagents containing colloidal silica, synthetic phospholipids, buffer, and Tektamer preservative. Activator contains 0.025Mol/L Calcium chloride and polybrene. Clotting-based assay principle. Designed for automated IL Coagulation Systems. Storage at 2-8°C. Complies with NCCLS C28-A2 and EP5-T2 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the detection of Lupus Anticoagulants in human citrated plasma samples. For in vitro diagnostic use by prescription.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A partial thromboplastin time test is a device used for primary screening for coagulation abnormalities, for evaluation of the effect of therapy on procoagulant disorders, and as an assay for coagulation factor deficiencies of the intrinsic coagulation pathway.

# Section 3 HemosIL Silica Clotting Time - 510(k) Summary (Summary of Safety and Effectiveness)
#### Summary of Performance Data:
### Method Comparison
In an in-house study of 210 citrated plasma samples (120 normals/90 abnormals) on an ACL Advance, comparing HemosIL Silica Clotting Time to the predicate devices, the following correlation data were obtained:
| Unit | slope | intercept | r | Reference method |
|-------------------------|-------|-----------|-------|--------------------|
| Normalized<br>LAC ratio | 1.099 | -0.086 | 0.874 | LAC Screen/Confirm |
In a clinical study of 206 citrated plasma samples (121 normals/85 abnormals), comparing HemosIL Silica Clotting Time (cut-off > 1.24) to the predicate devices (cut-off ≥ 1.20) on an ACL Futura, a relative Sensitivity of 92.4% (95% C.I. = 82.1-97.0) and a relative Specificity of 100% (95% C.I. = 97.6-100.0) were determined. All known Lupus Anticoagulant samples (n=48) tested as part of this study gave SCT normalized ratios > 1.24.
### Within Run Precision
Within run and between run precision was assessed over multiple runs (n=80) using three levels of controls.
| Instrument | Control | Mean<br>Normalized Ratio | Within run<br>%CV | Total<br>%CV |
|-------------|-----------------|--------------------------|-------------------|--------------|
| ACL Advance | Normal Control | 1.05 | 2.47 | 2.95 |
| ACL Advance | Low LA Control | 1.90 | 4.05 | 6.00 |
| ACL Advance | High LA Control | 2.77 | 5.24 | 5.60 |
