Intended Use

The LIAISON® Rubella IgG uses chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens. It is intended for use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella in individuals including pregnant women. The performance of this device has not been established for cord blood, neonatal samples, or for any matrices other than human serum. Likewise, performance has not been established for population(s) of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals. The LIAISON® Rubella IgG Tri-Control kit is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay.

Device Story

The LIAISON Rubella IgG assay is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) performed on the LIAISON Analyzer. It uses magnetic particles coated with rubella antigen and a mouse monoclonal anti-human IgG conjugate linked to an isoluminol derivative. The analyzer performs all incubation and wash steps. During the first incubation, rubella antibodies in the patient serum bind to the solid-phase antigen; during the second, the conjugate binds to the captured IgG. Starter reagents induce a flash chemiluminescence reaction, and a photomultiplier measures the light signal as relative light units (RLU). The system is used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results are used by healthcare providers to assess rubella immune status, which is critical for prenatal care. The device provides a qualitative result (positive, negative, or equivocal) to guide clinical management.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated using 2,806 prospectively collected specimens (2,159 routine, 449 pregnant) and 198 pre-selected negative samples. Compared against consensus of three FDA-cleared assays. Routine cohort showed 97.2% positive agreement and 92.3% negative agreement. Pregnant cohort showed 95.8% positive agreement. Pre-selected negative pregnant women showed 100% negative agreement. Analytical studies included precision (CLSI EP5-A2), interference (CLSI EP7), and stability.

Technological Characteristics

Indirect CLIA; magnetic particle solid phase coated with inactivated rubella virus (strain HPV 77); isoluminol-antibody conjugate (mouse monoclonal anti-human IgG); photomultiplier detection. Calibrated to 1st WHO standard (RUBI-1-94). Standards: CLSI I/L6, EP5, EP7, EP15. Automated processing on LIAISON® Analyzer. Reagent storage 2-8°C.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum to aid in determining immune status in individuals, including pregnant women. Not established for cord blood, neonatal samples, or immunocompromised/immunosuppressed populations.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Rubella virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rubella virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of rubella (German measles) or confirmation of a person's immune status from past infections or immunizations and provides epidemiological information on German measles. Newborns infected in the uterus with rubella virus may be born with multiple congenital defects (rubella syndrome).

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

INTENDED USE: The LIAISON Rubella IgG uses chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus in human serum specimens. It is intended for use as an aid in the determination of immune status to rubella in individuals including pregnant women.

The performance of this device has not been established for cord blood, neonatal samples, or for any matrices other than human serum. Likewise, performance has not been established for population(s) of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals.

The LIAISON® Rubella IgG Tri-Control kit is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay.

#### KIT DESCRIPTION:

The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to Rubella virus is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with Rubella antigen and a conjugate of mouse monoclonal antibody to human IgG linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, Rubella virus antibodies present in the calibrators, specimens or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with Rubella virus IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal,

{1}------------------------------------------------

and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU)

## PERFORMANCE DATA: EXPECTED VALUES

The LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay was tested with prospectively collected specimens from U.S. subjects routinely sent to the laboratory for rubella IgG testing (n=2159) and from pregnant women (n=449) to evaluate the assay's performance in these populations. Of the 2159 samples sent to the laboratory for routine rubella IgG testing, 91.7% were positive. Of the 449 pregnant women samples, 96.4% were positive. The distribution of results for IgG antibodies to rubella in these populations as determined by the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay is summarized as follows.

# COMPARATIVE STUDY

A total of 2806 prospectively collected frozen specimens were tested in the study. Of these, 2608 were from non-selected subjects: 2159 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine rubella IgG testing and 449 pregnant women. Samples were divided randomly and the testing sites were blinded to samples' populations and comparator results prior to LIAISON® testing. Given the lack of statistical power to properly assess the pregnant women negative agreement an unbiased analysis of pre-selected samples was performed as shown below. Of the 2.806 specimens, 198 negative pre-selected subjects were tested: 98 subjects sent to the laboratory for routine Rubella IgG testing and 100 pregnant women tested for Rubella antibodies as part of their routine pre-natal care. The rubella antibody testing performed by the laboratories was used to define the samples as negative. No equivocal results were found in the initial predicate test of the 100 pregnant women, hence there was no need for consensus result to be performed on this cohort.

All of these specimens were tested for the presence of Rubella IgG antibodies using the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and a commercially available rubella chemiluminescence test kit. Three FDA cleared devices were chosen as the additional methods to test the predicate device equivocal samples. The classification of samples equivocal by the predicate device was reassigned based on the consensus of the combined 2 out of 3 results from the three ELISA results, i.e. a sample with concordant result by at least two of the three methods was defined following the consensus. If the results by the three methods were either discordant among themselves or concordant equivocal, the sample was classified as equivocal. The following tables compare the results obtained for the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and commercially available Rubella tests.

Specimens that were equivocal by both, the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay and the consensus from the three ELISA tests were not included in the percent calculation. Positive or negative results from the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay were considered as non-agreements in the calculation of percent positive agreement and percent negative agreement when the corresponding comparator method result was equivocal.

Compared number of samples positive on both assays to sum of all positive samples on the reference assay + samples equivocal on the comparator method and negative on the LIAISON® Rubella IgG.

Compared number of samples negative on both assay to sum of all negative samples on the reference assay + samples equivocal on the comparator method and positive on the LIAISON® Rubella IgG.

Cross-reactions: The cross-reactivity study for the LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay was designed to evaluate potential interference from other organisms that may cause symptoms similar to Rubella virus infection (VZV, Measles, Mumps), other organisms that may cause infectious disease (HAV, HBV, HDV, HIV, CMV, HSV, EBV, Toxoplasma gondii. Parvovirus, Treponema pallidum) and from other conditions that may result from atypical immune system activity (hypergammaglobulin, antinuclear autoantibodies, Rheumatoid Factor). Samples for these studies were pre-screened with another commercially available Rubella IgG assay. If found negative for Rubella IgG antibodies they were used to study potential cross-reactivity. The presence of IgG antibodies to the potential cross-reactants in the samples was confirmed using FDA-cleared assays.

WARNING: Assay Interference due to circulating HAMA has not been evaluated. The user is responsible for establishing cross-reactivity performance with these antibodies.

#### Potentially Interfering Substances

The DiaSorin LIAISON® Rubella IgG assay was evaluated for interference according to CLSI Document EP7. A panel of 12 samples with rubella Index values ranging from 0.61 - 19.4 were tested with two levels each of hemoglobin (500 and 1000 mg/dL), billirubin (10 and 20 mg/dL) and triglycerides (500 and 3000 mg/dL). None of the interferents at the levels tested produced a significant change in the qualitative results of the assay.

#### Hook effect

No hook effect was found when two specimens with high level of anti-rubella IgG were tested. The specimens were tested neat and after serial dilution. Each point was tested in triplicate usina one kit lot.

The specimens resulted in the estimated index values above the measuring range as expected for specimens with high level of anti-rubella IgG, indicating no specimen misclassification.

#### CONCLUSION

The submitted material in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision. The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
