Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is an in vitro diagnostic medical device is intended for the qualitative detection of IgG antibody to the herpes simplex virus type 2 in human serum by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is comprised of the following items:
- Antigen-Coated ELISA Plate: One 96-well plate comprised of twelve 1. 8-well strips with breakaway wells, each well coated with affinity purified HSV-2 glycoprotein G (gG-2).
- 2. IgG Specimen Diluent: One bottle containing 30 ml of a lavender colored dilution buffer with sodium azide.
- Conjugate: One bottle containing 15 ml of a pink colored solution of 3. alkaline phosphatase-labeled antihuman IgG (Caprine) with sodium azide.
- 4. Substrate Buffer: One bottle containing 30 ml of a blue colored buffer solution with sodium azide.
- న్. p-NPP Tablets: One foil pack containing 6 tablets of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP).
- 6. Stopping Reagent: One bottle containing 30 ml of a colorless solution of 1.5 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
7. Positive Control and Negative Control: One vial of each containing 200 ul of serum (human) with sodium azide.
- 8. Reference Serum: One vial containing 400 ul of serum (human) with sodium azide.
- 9. 20X Wash Solution: One bottle containing 60 ml of a green colored solution with detergent and sodium azide.
- ELISA Plate Sealer: One acetate sheet with contact adhesive. 10.
- 11. Resealable Storage Bag: One plastic sealable bag.
- 12. ELISA Worksheet: One worksheet for recording data.
When the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is employed, diluted patient serum is incubated with purified herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein (gG2) bound to the ELISA plate wells. If antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 are present, they bind to the antigen and do not rinse off. Subsequently when enzyme-labeled antihuman IgG is added to the reaction site it binds to the immobilized IgG antibodies. After washing and the addition of a chromogenic substrate and stopping reagent, specimens containing antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 produce a color endpoint reaction which can be read with a standard ELISA plate reader.

# TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE:
The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and the HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test both are technologically based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE PERFORMANCE DATA:
Seven hundred fifty six serum samples prospectively collected from unduplicated individuals attending two STD Clinics in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for type specific IgG antibody to HSV-2. Western Blot results were based on initial testing with the exception of specimens with initial atypical results which were reanalyzed. These repeat Western Blot results were used for patients returning for repeat analysis. Patients not returning for repeat testing were presumed to be negative. Specimens initially reported as equivocal with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were retested with the second test result used. The relative agreement between the two methods was 93.1% (704/756). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 80.5% (182/226) with a 95% confidence interval of 74.1%-85.7% and 98.5% (522/530) with a 95% confidence interval of 96.9%-99.3% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 95.8% (182/190) with a 95% confidence interval of 91.6%-98.0% and 92.2% (522/566) and a 95% confidence interval of 89.6%-94.2% respectively.
Frozen samples of sequential sera from 193 patients were submitted to a clinical laboratory in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US for HSV antibody detection and typing. These specimens were tested for IgG antibodies to HSV-2 using the
{3}------------------------------------------------
Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for detection of HSV type specific antibody. The relative agreement between the two test systems was 97.2% (174/179) with a 95% confidence interval of 93.6%-99.1%. The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 98.0% (50/51) with a 95% confidence interval of 89.5%-99.9% and 96.9% (124/128) with a 95% confidence interval of 92.2%-99.1% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. There were ten specimens which demonstrated either equivocal ELISA results or atypical Western Blot results and four specimens that could not be typed by Western Blot which were not included in the above calculations. The calculations for the 95% confidence interval were made by the Exact Method.
The following information is from a serum panel obtained from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and tested by Gull Laboratories. Inc. The results are presented as a means to convey further information on the performance of this assay with a masked, characterized serum panel. This does not imply an endorsement of the assay by the CDC.
A serum panel comprised of one hundred clinical specimens (50 paired sera) was tested using the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. These specimens were characterized previously by CDC EIA and Western Blot testing. The panel of 100 samples contains more than 30% positive anti-HSV-2 samples. The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test demonstrated 95.0% total agreement with the CDC results. Of the results obtained with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test there was 86.1% agreement with the anti-HSV-2 positive specimens and 100.0% agreement with the anti-HSV-2 negative specimens.
Three hundred thirty five archived serum samples from patients with culture documented HSV-2 infection were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. Based on repeat testing of equivocal samples 89.3% (299/335) of the serum samples from culture positive patients tested positive in the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. Since the above study was performed on pre-selected retrospective specimens, the assay's positive and negative predictive values could not be calculated or inferred.
The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test also was used to test serum samples from individuals in low prevalence populations to determine the specificity of the assay. Serum samples from (a) one hundred ninety nine pediatric patients, one to twelve years of age, in the Northeast Region of the US, (b) two hundred nine individuals attending a University Student Health Clinic in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US, and (c) one hundred Blood Bank donors in the Northeast Region of the US were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for type specific IgG antibody to HSV-2. Western Blot results were based on initial testing with the exception of specimens with initial atypical results which were reanalyzed. These repeat Western Blot results were used for analysis. Specimens initially reported as
{4}------------------------------------------------
equivocal with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were retested with the second test result used.
For the pediatric patient specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 78.9% (157/199). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 100.0% (2/2) with a 95% confidence interval of 1.6%-100.0% and 78.7% (155/197) with a 95% confidence interval of 73.0%-84.4% respectively when compared to the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 4.5% (2/44) with a 95% confidence interval of 0.6%-15.5% and 100.0% (155/155) and a 95% confidence interval of 97.6%-100.0% respectively.
For the University Student Health Clinic specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 96.6% (198/205). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 60.0% (3/5) with a 95% confidence interval of 14.7%-94.7% and 97.5% (195/200) with a 95% confidence interval of 94.3%-99.2% respectively when compared to the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 37.5% (3/8) with a 95% confidence interval of 8.5%-75.5% and 99.0% (195/197) and a 95% confidence interval of 96.4%-99.9% respectively. There were four specimens which either demonstrated equivocal ELISA or atypical Western Blot results which were not included in the calculations.
For the Blood Bank specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 91.0% (91/100). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 76.5% (13/17) with a 95% confidence interval of 49.8.3%-92.2% and 94.0% (78/83) with a 95% confidence interval of 85.9%-97.8% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 72.2% (13/18) with a 95% confidence interval of 46.9%-89.3% and 95.1% (78/82) with a 95% confidence interval of 87.3%-98.4% respectively.
## CONCLUSIONS:
The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is believed to be substantially equivalent to the HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. This assessment is based on (1) the two tests are technologically equivalent, both being based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. (2) the intended use of each test is comparable with both being used for the qualitative determination of antibody to HSV-2 with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test having improved specificity, and (3) the data from clinical studies conducted at Gull Laboratories, Inc. and two outside clinical institutions demonstrated acceptable agreement and the relative sensitivity and relative specificity when test results were compared with the expected specimen reactivity showed the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test to demonstrate superior specificity for IgG antibody to HSV-2.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
