Device Story

The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for detecting IgG anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies in human serum. It operates on the BIO-FLASH instrument, a fully automated, random-access, closed system. Recombinant Scl-70 antigen is coated onto paramagnetic beads. Patient serum is diluted and combined with these beads and assay buffer; after incubation and magnetic washing, isoluminol-conjugated anti-human IgG is added. A second incubation and wash cycle occurs. Trigger solutions (Fe(III) coproporphyrin/NaOH and urea-H2O2/NaCl) are added, causing a flash of light measured as Relative Light Units (RLU). The RLU signal is proportional to the anti-Scl-70 antibody concentration. The system uses a lot-specific Master Curve and two calibrators to generate a working curve for calculating chemiluminescent units (CU)/mL. The device is used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing systemic sclerosis. The automated process reduces manual handling, improves throughput, and provides standardized, objective quantification compared to traditional ELISA methods.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical validation included 498 samples (123 systemic sclerosis, 375 controls). Sensitivity was 42.3% (95% CI: 33.9–51.1%) and specificity was 98.7% (95% CI: 96.9–99.4%). Method comparison against the predicate ELISA (n=539) showed 97.6% total agreement (negative agreement 97.6%, positive agreement 97.7%).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).

This platform is a fully automated closed system with continuous load and random access capabilities that automatically processes the samples, runs the assay and reports the results. It includes liquid handling hardware, luminometer and computer with software-user interface. The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a reagent cartridge format, which is compatible with the BIO-FLASH instrument. Recombinant Scl-70 is coated onto paramagnetic beads. The bead suspension is lyophilized and stored in the bead tube. Prior to use in the BIO-FLASH system, the sealed reagent tubes are pierced with the reagent cartridge lid and the beads are rehydrated and resuspended using resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down with a transfer pipette. The reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient serum sample is prediluted 1:23.5 by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient serum, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. lsoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 (Fe(III) coproporphyrin in sodium hydroxide solution) and Trigger 2 (urea-hydrogen peroxide in sodium chloride solution) are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti-Scl-70 antibodies bound to the corresponding Scl-70 on the beads. For quantitation, the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay utilizes a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the Calibrator Set (sold separately), an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU)mL from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 kit contains the following materials: One (1) QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Reagent Cartridge One (1) vial of Resuspension buffer One (1) Transfer pipette The QUANTA Flash Scl-70 Reagent Cartridge, containing the following reagents for 50 determinations: a.

All %CV values were within the acceptance limit, 10%. {13}------------------------------------------------ | | | | Between Lot<br>Imprecision | | |-----------|----|--------------|----------------------------|------| | | | Mean<br>(CU) | SD (CU) | CV | | Sample ID | N | | | | | 1 | 75 | 14.1 | 1.0 | 6.8% | | 2 | 75 | 61.1 | 0.9 | 1.5% | | 3 | 75 | 202.4 | 12.9 | 6.4% | | 4 | 75 | 513.9 | 39.4 | 7.7% | | 5 | 75 | 564.2 | 36.2 | 6.4% | | 6 | 75 | 20.7 | 1.4 | 6.8% | | 7 | 75 | 19.8 | 0.8 | 4.2% | | 8 | 75 | 19.6 | 1.9 | 9.6% | #### Limit of Quantitation (LoQ), Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD) The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay is 1.2 CU, which defines the lower limit of the AMR. The LoQ was determined consistent with CLSI EP17-A2 guideline the total error (TE) of each sample per reagent lot, using the Westgard model (TE= /Bias/ + 2s) based on 120 measurements of four low level samples. The total error (TE) for the LoQ is < 25% (accuracy goal). The sample with the lowest CU that met the accuracy goal specification is assigned LoQ. The LoD of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 assay is 0.2 CU, which is below the analytical measuring range of the assay. It was determined consistent with CLSI EP17-A guideline with proportions of false positives (alpha) less than 5% and false negatives (beta) less than 5%; based on 240 determinations, with 120 measurements on blank samples and 120 measurements of low level samples, per reagent lot. The LoB is 0.1 CU. For the LoB study, four different aliquots of System Rinse were tested in five replicates over 3 days, on two reagent lots (60 data points per lot). The LoB was calculated separately on the two lots, and the higher value was used as the final LoB. For the LoD study, four low level samples were tested in five replicates for 3 days on two reagent lots (60 data points per lot). The LoD was calculated separately on the two lots, and the higher value was used as the final LoD. #### Analytical Measuring Range (AMR) 1.2 CU - 786.3 CU The AMR is defined by the values of the Limit of Quantitation and highest Master Curve Standard. {14}------------------------------------------------ #### 510(k) Summary QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 #### Auto-rerun function and reportable results The BIO-FLASH software has an Auto-rerun option available. If this option is selected, the instrument will automatically re-test any sample that has a result of result >786.3 CU by further diluting it by a factor specified in the assay definition file (20 fold), thereby bringing the measured value within the AMR. The final result will be calculated by the software by taking into account the additional dilution factor. As the highest value that can be measured is 786.3 CU, the highest value that can be reported is 15726 CU. To validate the Auto-rerun function, three high positive specimens with results above the analytical measuring range were selected. The samples were run with the Auto-rerun function enabled on the BIO-FLASH. Then the specimens were manually diluted 20 fold and tested on the BIO-FLASH. The results were within the analytical measuring range after auto-rerun or manual dilution for all specimens. The % recovery values for results obtained with the auto-rerun results compared to the results obtained by manual dilution were 104%, 101% and 91% (average 102%) and are within the ± 20% acceptance limit. #### High concentration hook effect N/A #### Linearity The linearity of the AMR was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EP6-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline. Five serum samples with various Scl-70 antibody concentrations were diluted with negative serum in 10% increments (from 0% to 90% negative serum) to obtain values that cover the AMR. Diluted samples were assayed in duplicate. Percent recovery was calculated compared to expected results (based on dilution). Percent recovery for all data points ranged from 80.2% to 118.4%. Obtained values were plotted against expected values, and linear regression analysis was performed on each samples, and also on the combined results. Acceptance criteria were 80%-120% recovery, 0.9-1.1 slope and ≥0.95 R . Linear regression results are shown in the Table below. | Sample ID | Test Range (CU) | Slope (95% CI) | R² | |-----------|-----------------|---------------------|------| | Sample 2 | 72.0 - 727.5 | 1.00 (0.96 to 1.04) | 0.99 | | Sample 3 | 7.9 - 101.3 | 1.03 (1.00 to 1.05) | 1.00 | | Sample 4 | 1.8 - 20.2 | 1.01 (0.98 to 1.04) | 1.00 | | Sample 5 | 1.7 - 9.7 | 1.01 (0.98 to 1.04) | 1.00 | | Sample 6 | 81.2 - 739.6 | 0.96 (0.92 to 1.00) | 1.00 | | All | 1.7 - 739.6 | 1.01(0.99 to 1.02) | 0.99 | #### Interference The interference study was performed according to CLSI EPO7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline - Second Edition. Three specimens were tested (negative: 10.7 CU; low: 21.5 CU; positive: 49.4 CU). Interfering substances were spiked into every specimen at three different {15}------------------------------------------------ ### 510(k) Summary QUANTA Flash® Scl-70 concentrations in 10% of total specimen volume, and the resulting samples were assessed in triplicates with the Scl-70 assay. Recovery of the unit values was calculated compared to control samples spiked with the same volume of diluent (10% of total). Acceptance criteria for the interference studies were 85% - 115% recovery. The following interfering substances were tested: | Interfering<br>substance | concentration #1<br>tested | concentration #2<br>tested | concentration #3<br>tested | |--------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------|----------------------------| | Bilirubin, conjugated | 10 mg/dL | 5 mg/dL | 2.5 mg/dL | | Hemoglobin | 200 mg/dL | 100 mg/dL | 50 mg/dL | | Triglicerydes | 1000 mg/dL | 500 mg/dL | 250 mg/dL | | Cholesterol | 332.5 mg/dL | 166.3 mg/mL | 83.1 mg/mL | | Human IgG | 70 mg/mL | 35 mg/mL | 17.5 mg/mL | | RF IgM | 500 IU/mL | 300 IU/mL | 100 IU/mL | | Prednisone | 0.3 mg/mL | 0.15 mg/mL | 0.08 mg/mL | | Naproxen | 25.6 mg/mL | 12.8 mg/mL | 6.4 mg/mL | No interference was detected with bilirubin up to 10 mg/dL (recovery: 88% to 101%), hemoglobin up to 200 mg/dL (recovery: 93% to 105%), triglycerides up to 1000 mg/dL (recovery: 89% to 97%), cholesterol up to 224.3 mg/dL (recovery: 93% to 106%), human IgG up to 70 mg/mL (recovery 90-109%m or < 4 CU), RF IgM up to 500 IU/mL (recovery: 97% to 11%), predinose up to 0.3 mg/mL (recovery: 100.0 to 109.7) and naproxen up to 25.6 mg/mL (recovery: 97.7 to 109.7%). #### Cross-reactivity To test potential cross-reactivity with autoantibodies and infection-induced antibodies, results obtained on 375 control samples that were included in the clinical validation study were assessed. These samples were from patients with autoimmune diseases that are characterized with disease specific autoantibodies, or from patients with infection. The composition of the anti-Scl-70 positivity rate is shown in the Table below: | Patient group | Number of samples | # Positive | % Positive | |----------------------------------|-------------------|------------|------------| | Systemic Lupus Erythematosus | 32 | 0 | 0.0% | | Rheumatoid Arthritis | 31 | 0 | 0.0% | | Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy | 25 | 0 | 0.0% | | Mixed Connective Tissue Disease | 25 | 0 | 0.0% | | Celiac disease | 25 | 0 | 0.0% | | Autoimmune thyroiditis | 25 | 0 | 0.0% | | Sjögren's syndrome | 20 | 0 | 0.0% | | Infectious disease* | 30 | 1 | 3.3% | {16}------------------------------------------------ | Crohn's disease | 54 | 2 | 3.7% | |------------------------|-----|---|-------| | Osteoarthritis | 28 | 1 | 3.6% | | COPD | 15 | 0 | 0.0% | | Chronic Kidney Disease | 10 | 0 | 0.0% | | Vasculitis | 15 | 0 | 0.0% | | Raynaud's | 10 | 0 | 0.0% | | Diabetes | 5 | 0 | 0.0% | | Asthma | 15 | 0 | 0.0% | | Skin Disease | 10 | 1 | 10.0% | | Total controls | 375 | 4 | 1.4% | #### Sample stability Six samples, encompassing negative, around the cutoff and low to high positive samples were tested in duplicates for up to 21 days at 2-8°C, up to 48 hours at room temperature, moreover, after repeated freeze/thaw cycles up to 3 cycles. Results were compared to those obtained on control samples (day zero, at 2-8°C) Acceptance criteria: 90-110% average recovery. All samples fulfilled the acceptance criteria at each time point for each condition. Based on these result, we recommend that samples are stored up to 48 hours at RT, up to 21 days of at 2-8 °C, and can be subjected to up to 3 freeze/thaw cycles (when samples are stored at or below -20 °C). #### Reagent stability Shelf life #### Accelerated Stability To establish the initial claim for shelf life, accelerated stability studies were performed for 4 weeks at 37 °C. Accelerated stability testing was performed on three lots of each of the following sealed components of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 to establish initial stability claim: - Scl-70 beads - Calibrators 1 and 2 - Low and High controls Each week a new sealed component was placed in the incubator, and all components were tested at the end of the experiment together with the one that was stored at 5 ± 3°C. The recovery of the measured values was calculated for each time point (compared to those obtained with 5 ± 3°C stored reagent). All calculations were performed by comparing results of sealed components stored at 5 ± 3℃ (control) to those stored at 37 ± 3℃ (test) for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, where one week is equal to six months at 5 ± 3℃. Linear regression analysis was performed between recovery values and the number of days. {17}------------------------------------------------ Acceptance criteria for one year preliminary expiration dating were: -Microparticles (beads): With regression analysis, the 95% Cl interval of the regression line is between 85 and 115 % at 2 weeks, and no individual data point is outside the 75-125 %recovery range at 2 weeks. - Controls and Calibrators: With regression analysis, the lower 95% Cl interval of the regression line is between 90 and 110 % at 2 weeks, and no individual data point is outside the 80-120 %recovery range at 2 weeks. All components tested fulfilled the acceptance criteria above, so one year expiration dating was assigned to each component. #### Real time stability To confirm the shelf life that was assigned based on accelerated stability studies, real time stability studies have been initiated. Real time stability testing will be performed on Calibrators, Controls and Reagents at regular time points to support the one year expiration. We are providing real time stability data for Calibrators, Controls, and Reagents up to 6 months Controls were tested in triplicates at each time point. - Acceptance criteria: results should fall within their acceptable ranges as it was established at the release of the controls. Calibrators were tested in triplicates at each time point as samples. Averages of the triplicates were compared to the value that was assigned to the Calibrators at release. - Acceptance criteria: % recovery of the average of the triplicates is between 85 and 115%, and %CV of the triplicates is < 10% For reagent cartridge, 3 samples were tested at each time point, At every time point, all samples must be tested in three replicates. Acceptance criteria for results obtained at consecutive time points: - %CV of the replicates is < 15% at each time point. - The percent recovery of each sample is between 80-120%. All results were within the acceptance limits. #### In-use (onboard) stability #### Calibrators Onboard stability claim: 4 calibrations, or 8 hours onboard {18}------------------------------------------------ During assessing on-board stability, Calibrators were placed, uncapped, onboard the instrument, and calibration was performed altogether five times over 8.5 hours. Controls and a panel of characterized patient specimens were run on each calibration curve. Acceptance criteria: Calibrators are considered stable if all five calibrations performed in the 8.5 hour period are successful, and Calibrator average RLU recovery values are between 90% and 110% compared to the first use. A total of 5 successful calibrations were performed over an 8.5 hour period. Calibrator RLU values remained within the 90-110% range. Moreover, all characterized patient samples ran within their expected range. This supports the claim that calibrators can be used for up to 4 calibrations over an 8 hour period. #### Controls Onboard stability claim: up to 15 uses, at 10 minutes onboard per use During assessing on-board stability, Low and High Controls were assayed for a total of 21 runs. The controls were left uncapped, onboard the instrument for 15 minutes per run. When not in use, the controls were capped, and stored at 5 ± 3℃ for at least 2 hours between runs. Acceptance criteria: Controls are considered stable when all replicates run within their established range, moreover, the linear regression line obtained by plotting %recovery values against the number of runs stays is between 85 % and 115 % at run 15. Low and High Controls ran within their respective acceptable range for all runs. The linear regression line obtained by plotting %recovery values against the number of runs was within 85 % and 115 % at run 15 for both Controls. #### Reagent Cartridge To determine the in-use stability of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 reagent cartridge, two lots of reagent were tested with four to six serum specimens (with different reactivity levels) along with the Negative and Positive Controls were tested. The specimens were tested periodically for up to 60 days. Recoveries were calculated compared to the day zero average values, and linear regression analysis was performed. The claim is established using the following criteria (using the one that is fulfilled first): - The stability claim is established on the actual measurement day preceding the 95% confidence interval of the regression line reaches 85% or 115% recovery, or - On the actual measurement day preceding the day when 2 data points or ≥2% of the recovery data (whichever is greater) is ≤ 75% or ≥ 125% recovery. The in-use (onboard) stability of Scl-70 reagent cartridge was set at 60 days. # Cut-off (reference range) establishment and verification The reference population for establishing and verifying the reference interval for the Scl-70 assay consisted of 254 subjects: {19}------------------------------------------------ | Sample Group | N | |-------------------------------|-----| | Rheumatoid Arthritis | 49 | | Systemic Lupus Erythematosus | 50 | | Hashimoto's Thyroiditis | 30 | | Hepatitis B Virus | 26 | | Hepatitis C Virus | 10 | | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | 17 | | Drug Induced Lupus | 16 | | Autoimmune atrophic gastritis | 4 | | Biliary anastomatic stricture | 2 | | Healthy Individuals | 50 | | Total | 254 | All specimens were the same matrix (serum) as specified in the Intended Use. All specimens were unaltered. The cut-off was established in accordance to CLSI C28-A3c: Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory; Approved Guideline - Third Edition. Using Analyse-it for Excel, the upper 99th percentile Reference Interval limit was calculated as 7387.3 RLUs. Additionally, 19 systemic sclerosis samples that were positive on the predicate device were tested to aid in the determination of the cutoff. Taking into account the results of these samples, the cutoff was increased to 15,000 RLU to ensure optimal differentiation between negatives and positives, and a 20 CU value was assigned to this RLU value. #### Clinical performance characteristics #### Clinical sensitivity, specificity A separate set of samples, none of which were used in establishing the reference range, was used to validate the clinical performance of the QUANTA Flash Scl-70. A total of 498 samples were included in the Validation Set for the QUANTA Flash Scl-70.

Anti-Scl-70 antibody levels were analyzed in a cohort of 100 apparently healthy blood donors (42 females and 58 males, ages 21 to 67 years, with an average and median age of 46 years) using the QUANTA Flash Scl-70. This patient population was {21}------------------------------------------------ different from the one that was used to establish the cutoff. The mean concentration was <1.2 CU, and the values ranged from <1.2 to 2.2 CU. #### Comparison with predicate device All samples from the Validation Set study were tested on both the QUANTA Flash Scl-70 and on the predicate ELISA, along with 41 additional samples. These additional samples were contrived by diluting Scl-70 positive serum with negative serum. The comparison is shown in the tables below.
