Intended Use

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is an immunoblot assay intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to detect antibodies to Lyme Screen Antigen (LSA) and multiple other B. burgdorferi antigens following a modified two-tier test methodology. Positive results from the iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit are supportive evidence for the presence of antibodies and exposure to B. burgdorferi. Negative results do not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease and the test kit should only be used on samples from patients with clinical history, signs and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease. The iDart™ Lyme IgM Immunoblot Kit is not intended as a screen for asymptomatic patients. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient's clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures.

Device Story

The iDart Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is a line immunoblot assay for qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. Recombinant Borrelia proteins (LSA, C10, P93, P41, P39, P34, P31, P23) are sprayed onto nitrocellulose strips. Patient serum is incubated with the strips; antibodies bind to specific antigens. After washing, strips are incubated with anti-human IgM conjugated with Alkaline Phosphatase. Visualization occurs via BCIP/NBT substrate, forming a bluish-purple reaction product at antigen-antibody binding sites. The test is performed in a professional laboratory setting. Results are interpreted manually by observing band patterns. The device aids clinicians in diagnosing Lyme disease by providing supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi in symptomatic patients, used in conjunction with clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated using 997 prospectively collected serum samples compared against standard two-tier testing (STTT). Results showed 90.91% PPA (95% CI: 81.55%–95.77%) and 98.07% NPA (95% CI: 96.96%–98.77%). Additional testing on a 258-sample CDC pre-marketing panel demonstrated sensitivity of 65.8% (vs 55.7% for STTT) and high agreement with healthy/disease controls. Reproducibility study across 3 sites, 6 operators, and 5 days showed 100% agreement.

Technological Characteristics

Line immunoblot assay using recombinant Borrelia proteins (LSA, C10, P93, P41, P39, P34, P31, P23) on nitrocellulose membrane. Detection via anti-human IgM-Alkaline Phosphatase conjugate and BCIP/NBT substrate. Manual interpretation of band patterns. Professional use only.

Indications for Use

Indicated for in vitro qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum from symptomatic patients with clinical history, signs, and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease. Not for use as a screen for asymptomatic patients.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), the Treponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies to Treponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Treponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.

### B. Indication(s) for Use:

### C. Special Conditions for Use Statement(s):

- For in vitro diagnostic use only
- For professional use only
- For prescription use only

## IV. DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS:

### A. Device Description:

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot tests are line immunoblot assays. Antigenic proteins specific for *Borrelia* species that cause Lyme Disease are produced by recombinant DNA technology in *Escherichia coli*. The purified proteins are then applied as discrete lines on a nitrocellulose membrane along with two control proteins.

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit contains IgM ImmunoBlot strips and the proteins are applied in the following order: C1 (IgG/IgM – conjugate control), C2 (Protein L – calibrator/serum control), P93, P41 (2 antigen bands), P39 (2 antigen bands), P23 (9 antigen bands), P31 (9 antigen bands), P34, C10 and LSA (a chimeric VlsE peptide termed the Lyme Screen Antigen).

### B. Principle of procedures:

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot test is a line blot assay. The recombinant *Borrelia* proteins, along with 2 controls proteins are dispensed onto a nitrocellulose membrane by spraying.

During the test procedure, if antibodies to *Borrelia burgdorferi* infection are present in the human serum sample, they will bind to the antigens sprayed onto the nitrocellulose strips. After removing serum and unbound antibodies by washing, the nitrocellulose strip is incubated with an anti-human IgM antibody conjugated with Alkaline Phosphatase.

After removing the unbound conjugated antibody by a washing step, visualization of the antigen-antibody complex is accomplished by the addition of a substrate 5-bromo, 4-chloro, 3-indolylphosphate (BCIP) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) which forms a strong bluish purple reaction product by the action of alkaline phosphatase. The reaction is stopped by washing the nitrocellulose strip with distilled or deionized water.

Depending on the observed band pattern one can interpret the presence or absence of specific IgM antibodies to *B. burgdorferi* antigens.

## VII. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS (IF/WHEN APPLICABLE):

### A. Analytical Performance:

#### 1. Reproducibility:

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit was tested in a blind study to evaluate reproducibility across 3 separate sites each with 2 operators over 5 days, 2 runs a day, using a panel of coded samples containing different levels of anti-B. burgdorferi IgM: negative, high negative, low positive, moderate positives, and high positive samples. This study generated 90 replicates per sample. There was 100% agreement on all test results across runs, days and sites (See Table 1).

2. Clinical Sensitivity/Specificity:

**CDC Serum Panel:**
A reference Pre-Marketing Panel of 258 serum samples were received from CDC. These samples were from patients diagnosed with Lyme Disease at different stages (Stages 1, 2, and 3), Lyme disease look-like infections (infectious mononucleosis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and severe periodontitis), and from healthy controls living in endemic and non-endemic regions of Lyme disease. Results are analyzed according to disease stages and compared to STTT (See Table 8).

## 3. Other

Clinical Supportive Data:

### Fresh and Frozen Samples Comparison Study

The Clinical Performance of iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is equivalent between fresh and frozen samples. This is supported by the evidence shown in this study by which samples were tested fresh and after frozen. This study demonstrates that freezing does not alter the performance of iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit in comparison to testing of fresh samples.

| Table 9: Fresh and Frozen Samples Tested with iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit |
| --- |
| Sample Type | Tested | N | Interpretation Criteria -
POSITIVE: LSA positive or indeterminant and one or more bands from at least TWO of the following groups are present – LSA, P41, P39, P23, P31 and P34 are present.
NEGATIVE: If the band pattern does not meet the positive criteria. |
| IgM | Neg |
| Fresh Samples | Within 2 weeks of collection. (stored refrigerated) | 63 | 21 |
| Frozen Samples | After being Frozen (2-22 (days) | 63 | 21 |

### Antibody Class Specificity

This study was conducted to demonstrate the antibody class specificity of the goat anti-human IgM Conjugate used in the iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit. 8 previously tested patient samples that includes 4 negatives and 4 positives were included in the study. These samples were tested in iDart™ Lyme Diluent provided with the test kit.

3 sets of anti-human IgM conjugate were prepared and tested.

- Control – no additives
- 1ug/ml of human IgG
- 1ug/ml of human IgM

The iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is intended to detect IgM antibodies to *B. burgdorferi* antigens from patients with clinical history, signs and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease. This study demonstrates that iDart™ Lyme IgM ImmunoBlot Kit is specific in detecting IgM antibodies in Lyme patient samples.
