Intended Use

This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is intended for the detection and measurement of IgM antibodies to B, Glycoprotein I in human serum.

Device Story

The VIRGO® β₂ Glycoprotein I IgM Antibody Kit is an ELISA-based in vitro diagnostic test. It uses microwell plates coated with purified human β₂ glycoprotein to capture IgM antibodies from patient serum samples. After incubation and washing, a peroxidase-labeled anti-human IgM secondary antibody is added, followed by a substrate that undergoes a color change proportional to the amount of bound antibody. The reaction is stopped and measured using an EIA plate reader. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results are interpreted by healthcare providers alongside clinical findings to assist in diagnosing Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). The kit includes calibrators to assign arbitrary IgM antibody values to patient samples, facilitating standardized reporting.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated using 290 serum samples. Testing included patients with APS (n=43), SLE+APS (n=7), Rheumatoid Arthritis (n=40), SLE without APS (n=20), Scl-70 (n=20), infectious conditions (n=40), and healthy normals (n=120). Comparison with a commercially available anti-cardiolipin IgM EIA (n=90) showed 87.9% relative sensitivity (95% CI: 79.6-93.1%), 96.5% relative specificity (95% CI: 90.4-98.8%), and 93.3% relative agreement. Precision studies (inter- and intra-assay) demonstrated acceptable C.V. values.

Technological Characteristics

ELISA-based immunological test system. Utilizes microwell plates coated with purified human β₂ glycoprotein. Detection via peroxidase-labeled anti-human IgM (μ-chain specific) and colorimetric substrate. Output is optical density measured by an EIA plate reader. Includes IgM calibrators for value assignment. Standardized to established cutoffs.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the detection and measurement of circulating IgM antibodies to β2 Glycoprotein in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of Primary and Secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome in conjunction with clinical observations and other serological tests.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

#### 3. Description of Device

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the detection and measurement of IgM antibodies to ß, Glycoprotein I in human serum.

The ELISA methodology is commonly used for serum antibody evaluations. Purified human ß, glycoprotein has been attached to the inner surfaces of the microwell plate. During the initial incubation step, specific antibodies in patient serum will bind to the antigen and are immobilized on the surface. After incubation and a wash step, a peroxidase labeled anti human IgM (u chain specific) second antibody is added to the wells to react with the immobilized anti beta 2 GP1 antibodies. After incubation and another wash step, the substrate is added. In the wells where the specific antigenantibody-HRP complex remains bound, the peroxidase enzyme catalyzes a color change in the substrate. After the enzymatic reaction is stopped, the colored product is read in an EIA plate reader at a specified wavelength.

### 4. Intended Use of Device

This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is intended for the detection and measurement of IgM antibodies to B, Glycoprotein I in human serum.

### 5. Technological Characteristics

#### Proposed Device

The VIRGO® ® ß, Glycoprotein I IgM Antibody Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The device utilizes optical density as a measure of antibody presence, with an established cutoff between a positive and a negative reaction. The device also contains a IgM Calibrator to enable the assignment of arbitrary IgM antibody values to patient samples.

#### Predicate Device

The Hemagen ® Cardiolipin IgG/IgM Antibody Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The device utilizes optical density as a measure of antibody presence, with an established cutoff between a positive and a negative reaction. The device also contains both an IgM Calibrator, and an IgG Calibrator to enable the assignment of MPL or GPL unit values to patient samples. The calibrators have been standardized to the IgM and IgG standards obtained from Louisville APL Diagnostics, Inc.

#### 5. Performance Data

#### Precision

To estimate the overall precision of the VIRGO ® ß, Glycoprotein I IgM Antibody Kit, inter, and intra assay studies were conducted. The results of these studies is summarized in the tables below

#### Inter Assay

Three serum samples, the Negative, and Positive Controls, and the Calibrator were assayed five times each, twice a day, on five different days :
