Device Story
The Elecsys Toxo IgG Immunoassay is a two-step sandwich electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) performed on Roche Elecsys/cobas e analyzers. Input: 10 µL patient sample (serum/plasma). Process: Sample incubated with biotinylated recombinant T. gondii-specific antigen and ruthenium-labeled recombinant T. gondii-specific antigen; sandwich complex binds to streptavidin-coated microparticles; microparticles magnetically captured on electrode surface; unbound substances washed away via ProCell; voltage applied to induce chemiluminescence measured by photomultiplier. Output: Quantitative IgG concentration derived from instrument-specific calibration curve and master curve. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid clinicians in determining patient immune status and diagnosing primary T. gondii infection. PreciControl Toxo IgG provides quality control for assay performance.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated via method comparison studies in U.S. and E.U. using 515 U.S. samples and multiple European cohorts (fresh and frozen). U.S. study showed 100% positive agreement and 93.4% negative agreement vs. VIDAS. CDC panel study (n=100) showed 100% agreement (70/70 positive, 30/30 negative). Precision studies (n=3 sites) showed overall CVs of 2-6%. No clinical sensitivity/specificity studies per se; performance established via comparison to predicate and reference methods.
Technological Characteristics
Two-step sandwich immunoassay; electrochemiluminescence detection. Components: biotinylated recombinant T. gondii antigen, ruthenium-labeled recombinant T. gondii antigen, streptavidin-coated microparticles. Instrumentation: Elecsys 2010, cobas e 411, Modular Analytics E170, cobas e 601. Calibration: 2-point calibration with master curve via reagent barcode. Controls: PreciControl Toxo IgG (human serum-based).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in human serum and plasma (Li-heparin, K3-EDTA, sodium citrate) to aid in assessing immune status and diagnosing primary infection. Not for blood/plasma donor screening.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Toxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

I. Device Description:
The Elecsys Toxo IgG is a two-step sandwich immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. In the first incubation, 10 μL of sample, a biotinylated recombinant T. gondii-specific antigen, and a T. gondii-specific recombinant antigen labeled with a ruthenium complex to form a sandwich complex. After addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles, the complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin. The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier. Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument generated by a 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the
2
{2}
reagent barcode. A human serum-based calibrator is provided with the test kit, and the recommended control material is PreciControl Toxo IgG.
The Elecsys PreciControl Toxo IgG contains two levels of human serum with Toxo IgG antibodies.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility: Assay reproducibility studies were conducted using the Elecsys 2010/cobas e 411 analyzers and the Modular Analytics E-170/cobas e 601 analyzers. These studies were conducted at one US site, and 2 international sites. A panel of 3 samples and 2 controls and 21 replicates, were tested with one reagent lot on one Elecsys 2010 analyzer and also on one Modular Analytics E170 analyzer. For the within-run reproducibility, the tested samples consisted of one negative (-) and one positive (+) control and 1 positive human serum. These samples were tested six times per day as single determination (for the Elecsys 2010) and as six-fold determination (for the Modular Analytics E170 analyzer) – also called Total precision—with one reagent lot for a period of ten days. The study was conducted at three different geographical sites. Intra-assay and inter-assay data for Toxo IgG were within specification for all samples at all sites. The overall CV for the positive specimens ranged from 2-6% for both analyzers, which is acceptable.

Performance Evaluation in the U.S.
A total of 515 samples were obtained from a reference laboratory in the U.S. The initial storage conditions of the 515 samples were as follow: 512 were fresh serum, 2 were frozen serum, and one was frozen plasma. These samples represented subjects for whom anti-Toxoplasma testing had been ordered from a variety of institutions throughout the US. Specific geographic information about each sample was not collected. All samples were tested with the VIDAS Toxo IgG Assay, Sabin Feldman Dye Test, ELISA or AC/HS serological tests. After the completion of initial testing, all samples were stored frozen until any repeat and confirmatory testing required per the study protocol was completed:

Negative: $93.40\%$ (310/332) $[95.5\% - 99.1\%]$
Performance Evaluation in E.U.
Additional comparison studies and method comparison studies were done in E.U. All the samples used in the European studies were from patients referred to the lab for Toxoplasma testing. The European samples used for this studies ranged from a combination of retrospective and characterized studies (never-infected, previously infected, acute infected, remote infected and sero-conversions) in addition to routine fresh samples randomly collected. Retrospective samples consisted of frozen samples, whereas prospective
