Intended Use
Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of total antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in human adult, pregnant women, and pediatric (ages 2 to 21 years) serum and plasma (K₂-EDTA and K₃-EDTA). Assay results may be used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection for individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination; or where vaccination status is unknown. Assay results may be used with other HBV serological markers for the laboratory diagnosis of HBV disease associated with HBV infection. A reactive assay result will allow a differential diagnosis in individuals displaying signs and symptoms of hepatitis in whom etiology is unknown. The detection of anti-HBs is indicative of laboratory diagnosis of seroconversion from hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or from vaccination. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay “ECLIA” is intended for use on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer.
Device Story
Elecsys Anti-HBs II is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative detection of total anti-HBs antibodies in human serum/plasma. Operates on cobas e 601 analyzer using electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) sandwich format. Input: 40 uL sample; biotinylated HBsAg; ruthenium-labeled HBsAg. Process: two-incubation steps; sandwich complex formation; binding to streptavidin-coated microparticles; magnetic capture on electrode; chemiluminescent emission induced by voltage; measured by photomultiplier. Output: quantitative anti-HBs concentration (mIU/mL) compared against instrument-generated calibration curve. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid clinicians in assessing HBV immunity, vaccination status, and diagnosing HBV infection. Benefits include improved patient management, reduced transmission, and mitigation of HBV sequelae through timely vaccination or antiviral treatment.

Biotin interference mitigation up to 1200 ng/mL. Instrument: cobas e 601. Calibration: 2-point, master curve. Sterilization: N/A (reagents). Connectivity: Integrated with cobas e 601 analyzer.
Indications for Use
Indicated for human adults, pregnant women, and pediatric patients (ages 2-21) to quantitatively detect total anti-HBs antibodies in serum and K2/K3-EDTA plasma. Used to determine HBV susceptibility pre/post-vaccination or when status is unknown, and as an aid in diagnosing HBV infection in symptomatic individuals.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hepatitis B virus (HBV) antibody assay is identified as an in vitro diagnostic device intended for prescription use in the detection of antibodies to HBV in human serum, plasma, or other matrices, and as a device that aids in the diagnosis of HBV infection in persons with signs and symptoms of hepatitis and in persons at risk for hepatitis B infection. Results from assays may be qualitative or quantitative, such as quantitative anti-HBs. In addition, results from an anti-HBc IgM (IgM antibodies to core antigen) assay indicating the presence of anti-HBc IgM are indicative of recent HBV infection. Anti-HBs (antibodies to surface antigen) assay results may be used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to HBV infection in individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination or when vaccination status is unknown. The assay is not intended for screening of blood, plasma, cells, or tissue donors. The assay is intended as an aid in diagnosis in conjunction with clinical findings and other diagnostic procedures.

## III. CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are no known contraindications.
## IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
The warnings and precautions can be found in the Elecsys Anti-HBsII labeling.
## V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Elecsys Anti-HBs II is a quantitative serologic, two-incubation step assay using sandwich test format and a total assay time of 18 minutes. In the first incubation, anti-HBs in the sample (40 uL), biotinylated HBsAg (ad/ay), and HBsAg (ad/ay) labeled with ruthenium complex react to form a sandwich complex. In the second incubation, 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 M. 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 2-point calibration and a master curve provided.
## Components
Elecsys Anti-HBs II kit consists of five (5) components as shown in the following table:
Table 1: Components of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II
| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| M | Streptavidin-coated microparticles |
| R1 | Biotinylated HBsAg (ad/ay) human and recombinant |
| R2 | HBsAg (ad/ay) human and recombinant, labeled with ruthenium complex |
| Anti HBS II Cal1 | Calibrator 1 Anti-HBs (human) in human serum |
| Anti HBS II Cal2 | Calibrator 2 Anti-HBs (human) in human serum |
The M, R1, and R2 reagents are combined in the "rackpack" (bundle of the three (3) reagent bottles which is placed on the instrument as a single unit)
All reagents, including calibrators, are provided ready for use.
PMA P190034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{2}
The Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay is produced in two (2) different package sizes: 100 tests and 200 tests. The two (2) kit sizes differ in the volume of bottles M, R1, and R2. Calibrators 1 and 2 have the same filling volume.
The 100-test kit of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II is defined as the master kit. All studies will be performed with the master kit, as study results from the master kit are considered to be transferable to the 200-test kit.
The PreciControl Anti-HBs consists of two (2) reagents:
- PC A-HBS1: PreciControl Anti-HBs 1, human serum, negative for anti-HBs
- PC A-HBS2: PreciControl Anti-HBs 2, human serum, positive for anti-HBs, approx. 100 IU/L
The Anti-HBs CalCheck is an assay control material for use in the verification of the calibration established by the Elecsys Anti-HBs immunoassay and is FDA approved (P010054). This material remains unchanged. It consists of three (3) reagent components (three (3) bottles, one of each level negative, mid level, and high level of anti-HBs).
## Interpretation of Results
The accepted criterion for immunity to HBV is $\geq 10\mathrm{mIU/mL}$ of anti-HBs, with mIU defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) Reference Preparation.
Table 2: Interpretation of Results
| Elecsys Anti-HBs II result | Result interpretation | Clinical interpretation of HBV immune status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| < 10 mIU/mL | Non-reactive | Individual is considered to be not immune to infection with HBV. |
| ≥ 10 mIU/mL | Reactive | Anti-HBs concentration detected at > 10 mIU/mL. Individual is considered to be immune to infection with HBV. |
## VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are several other alternatives for the detection and quantitation of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (Anti-HBs). There are currently several FDA approved in invitro diagnostic tests commercially available for serological markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) which, when used in conjunction with a patient's medical history, clinical examination and other laboratory findings, may be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HBV infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis or who may be at risk for HBV infection. The assay may be used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to HBV infection in individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination or where vaccination status is unknown. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient
PMA P190034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

## VIII. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH
Below is a list of the potential adverse effects (e.g., complications) associated with the use of the device. The Elecsys Anti-HBs II is intended for in vitro diagnostic use, and as a result, there is no direct adverse effect on the patient. Standard good laboratory practices are considered sufficient to minimize risks to the end user.
Failure of the product to perform as intended or human error in the use of this test may lead to a false result. Appropriate Warnings and Precautions for identified risks are contained in the labeling and assay Instructions for Use.
PMA P190034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{4}
The risks associated with the device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, failure to correctly interpret the test results, and failure to correctly operate the device.
Risks of false positive results when the device is used as an aid in the diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis or who may be at risk for HBV infection include improper patient management, including treatment for hepatitis B with antiviral medication. Antiviral medication has risks including toxicity and more rarely allergic reactions. Over time, viral resistance in patients who are coinfected but undiagnosed with other viruses that are treated with the same antiviral medication, such as HIV, can lead to viral resistance, however the chance of an undiagnosed co-infection in a patient treated for hepatitis B is unlikely.
Risks of false positive results when the device is used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to HBV infection in individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination or where vaccination status is unknown includes leading a provider to falsely believe that a patient has been vaccinated in the past and/or has current immunity when the patient, in fact, does not. This could lead to a missed opportunity to vaccinate a patient in whom Hepatitis B vaccination is indicated. Vaccination for appropriate patients can mitigate the sequelae of hepatitis B infection and may result in improved morbidity and mortality in these patients. Known sequelae of hepatitis B infection include continued symptoms, increases in all-cause mortality, liver disease-related complications and death, hepatocellular carcinoma rates, and need for liver transplantation. Vaccination for hepatitis B infection can potentially decrease transmission and disease burden in the general population and particularly in populations at high risk for hepatitis B infection.
Risks of false negative results when the device is used as an aid in the diagnosis of HBV infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis or who may be at risk for HBV infection include potentially missing and not treating a patient who has hepatitis B infection. Missing and not treating a patient with hepatitis B infection whose clinical picture warrants antiviral treatment could result in the known sequelae of HBV infection and may result in high morbidity and mortality in these patients. Additionally, missing a diagnosis of hepatitis B infection will not allow for clinicians to potentially decrease transmission and disease burden in the general population, particularly in populations at high risk for hepatitis B infection.
Risks of false negative results when the device is used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to HBV infection in individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination or where vaccination status is unknown include unnecessary repeated vaccination for hepatitis B. Although vaccination has risks such as local reactions, and serious adverse events due to Hepatitis B vaccination are rare, administration of extra doses of single-antigen hepatitis B vaccine is not generally harmful. In fact, it is common practice to administer higher dose vaccinations in an accelerated schedule for patients undergoing organ transplantation, for example.

IX. SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL STUDIES
Note that the following units are equivalent and are used interchangeably IU/L = mIU/mL.
A. Laboratory Studies
Roche Diagnostics launched the Elecsys Anti-HBs II system globally with a biotin interference at a level of 8 ng/mL. Roche decided to update the assay by addition of a biotin scavenger antibody which increased the level for biotin interference up to 1200 ng/mL. As Roche had already performed the clinical studies, Roche performed bridging studies (See Part II below) to show analytical equivalence between the “current” Elecsys Anti-HBs II and the “updated” Elecsys Anti-HBs II that included the biotin remediation. Only the “updated” Elecsys Anti-HBs II will be sold in the US. The following section describes the analytical studies with the current and the updated versions of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II.
Part I. Non-Clinical Studies with the Current Elecsys Anti-HBs II
1. Equivalency Studies Between 100 and 200 test kits (studies with an asterisk “*” are not presented in the Package Insert)
a. Comparison study* was conducted to determine the equivalency of 100 and 200 test kits when the rackpack contents are full and as the contents are depleted. Five (5) human serum pools were tested with full and almost used up rackpacks on two (2) cobas e 601 analyzers. Each sample was measured in 21 replicates. The results show that the sample concentrations are similar when tested with 100 and 200 test kit when it is either full or depleted.
b. Reagent Temperature Stress (Transport Stability)* was conducted to determine the effect of elevated temperature on Elecsys Anti-HBs II. The 100 and 200 test kit configurations including calibrators were stored for one week at 35°C (stressed condition). Five (5) human serum pools and both controls were tested in duplicate with the stressed and unstressed (stored at 2-8°C) reagent kit. Testing was performed on one day with one analyzer. The mean recovery of the samples was calculated based on the mean of the reference. The results were similar between the stressed and unstressed kit.
c. Reagent On-Board Stability-Open Reagent Pack Stability* was assessed by storing 100 and 200 test kit configurations on-board the cobas e 601 for 9 weeks at 20°C ± 3°C. After 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 weeks, five (5) human serum pools were measured with regard to stability of the weekly calibration. Unstressed reagent packs of both 100 and 200 test kits (stored at 2-8°C) were opened and calibrated. Recovery of the mean value of each sample was calculated comparing to the mean value of the unstressed reagent pack at day 0. The stability of the current Elecsys Anti-HBs II meets the acceptance criteria
PMA P190034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{6}
for 9 weeks and supports a claim for storage of 8 weeks on-board the cobas e 601 analyzer.
d. Reagent After First Opening Stability* was performed to determine the time period in which the reagents can be kept at 2-8°C once opened. New reagent packs 100 and 200 test kit configuration were opened and two (2) of them stored at 2-8°C for 8 and 9 weeks. One opened, new reagent pack (unstressed reference was calibrated). Five (5) human serum pools and the PreciControls were tested in duplicate at time point 0. After 8 and 9 weeks, the samples were tested again in duplicate with the stressed reagent packs stored after first opening at 2-8°C. Reagent pack stability was determined by calculating the mean recovery of the samples compared to the mean of the unstressed reference.
2. Precision*
A precision panel consisting of seven (7) native human serum samples or serum pools (HS) and two (2) PreciControls were measured. The samples were either low (2 samples ≤5 IU/L), medium (1 sample >5 to ≤10 IU/L), and high (4 samples >10 IU/L with one sample just above 10 IU/L). Each sample was separated into two (2) aliquots. These aliquots were measured in single determinations in two (2) runs per day (n=4 per day) and in total 12 days (n=48). The measurements were performed on one cobas e 601 analyzer at one site with one reagent lot spanning two (2) calibration cycles. Repeatability and within-laboratory precision were calculated according to CLSI EP05-A3. The results met the acceptance criteria and are shown in the following table.
Table 5: Precision Results
| | | Repeatabilitya | | Intermediate Precisionb | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

3. Determination of limit of blank (LoB) and limit of detection (LoD)
The LoB and LoD were determined in accordance with CLSI EP17-A2. For determination of LoB, five (5) commercially sources analyte-free human serum pools were measured with two (2) reagent lots in single determination on three (3) days with two (2) runs per day on two (2) cobas e 601 analyzers. For each lot in ototal 60 measured values of analyte-free samples were obtained (2 runs x 3 days x 2 analyzers x 5 samples). Data analysis was based on determination of the 95th percentile of the 60 measured values. The results show that LoB=0 for both lots tested.
For determination of LoD, five (5) human serum pools with low analyte concentration were measured in two (2) lots in single determination over three (3) days with two (2) runs per day on two (2) cobas e 601 analyzers. For each lot in total 60 measured values of samples with low analyte concentration were obtained (2 runs per day x 3 days x 3 analyzers x 5 samples). Data analysis was based on determination of the 60 measured values as follows:
$$
\mathrm{LoD} = \mathrm{LoB} + 1.653 \times \mathrm{SD} \text{ total where SD total} = \text{square root of } [0.2 \left\{ (\mathrm{sd}1)2 + \ldots + (\mathrm{sd}5)2 \right\} ]
$$
The LoD for lot 1 is 0.4513 IU/L and for lot 2 is 0.3994 IU/L.
The claimed LoB is 1.5 mIU/mL and the claimed LoD is 2 mIU/mL.
4. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)
The LoQ was determined in accordance with CLSI EP17-A2. Eight (8) commercially sourced human serum pools covering the concentration range from LoB to 2xLoQ were measured in five-fold determinations in five (5) runs with one run per day. LoQ is defined as the mean value of the samples which fulfills specifications for the intermediate precision (CV) and for which no sample with higher concentration exists that exceeds this specification. LoQ was determined to be 1.48 mIU/mL. The claimed LoQ is 3.5 mIU/mL
5. Linearity
Three (3) native human serum and plasma samples with analyte content were diluted down to the lower end of the measuring range with various amounts of low analyte human sample. Twelve (12) dilution steps were completed and each dilution series was tested in triplicate. The linearity data was analyzed with regards to linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials according to CLSI EP06-A. Linearity for the Elecsys Anti-HBs II is from 0 to 1177 IU/L in serum and 0 to 1140 IU/mL in plasma. The claimed measuring range is 3.5 to 1000 mIU/mL.

# 6. High Dose Hook Effect
Three (3) native human serum samples were diluted in at least 11 dilution steps to generate dilution series that covers the measuring range from negative to high positive concentration. The diluted samples were measured in three-fold determination. Although a decrease in signal in samples >20,000 mIU/mL was observed, the samples still produced a positive signal. The high dose hook effect did not lead to false negative results in the assay. Due to high-dose hook effect, results from anti-HBs concentrations with samples >1000 mIU/mL to 500,000 mIU/mL were properly detected as ≥100 mIU/mL.
# 7. Endogenous Interference
Several potential endogenous interferents were tested using both native or spiked serum samples. Dilution series with at least nine (9) dilution steps each were prepared for serum samples for all interfering substances by diluting samples spiked with a high concentration of the interfering substance with the corresponding unspiked sample. Samples were tested in duplicate. Mean recovery values of samples spiked with interfering substance were calculated against the respective sample without the interfering substance. No interference was observed for the tested concentrations below.

# 8. Analytical Specificity/Cross-Reactivity
Analytical specificity with medical conditions and diseases with similar etiology or symptoms to hepatitis B viral infection was tested on 96 samples. These samples were not prescreened for the presence of anti-HBs. Testing with the reference assay shows that these samples were positive for anti-HBs. The presence of potential interferent did not change the reactive result (there were no false negatives observed) with the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay. The results are shown in the table below.

# 11. Seroconversion
Seroconversion sensitivity was evaluated by testing 11 commercially available seroconversion panels and comparing the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay with the reference assay. Results show that seven (7) panels demonstrated conversion of negative/non-reactive to positive/reactive. Performance in five (5) panels was equivalent between the Elecsys Anti-HBs II and the reference assay, while the Elecsys Anti-HBs II showed seroconversion to reactive one draw later than the reference assay in two (2) panels. The following table shows the results. Two (2) panels did not show seroconversion.

## 12. Carryover Study*
On the cobas e 601 analyzer, the use of disposable tips for sample pipetting eliminates any risk of sample carry over by design. An Anti-HBs negative sample was tested in triplicate followed by a high-signal-generating-sample (≥2 Mio counts) of another Elecsys assay (Toxo IgG immunoassay) was tested followed again by the anti-HBs negative samples tested with the Elecsys Anti-HBs II in triplicate.
All acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating that no significant amount of analyte is carried over from one sample reaction into the subsequent sample reactions.
## 13. Reproducibility
Reproducibility was determined with a panel of six (6) human sera and two (2) controls. Samples were measured in triplicate using three (3) reagent lots, in two (2) runs per day for five (5) days at three (3) sites according to CLSI EP15-A2 and CLSI EP05-A3 (n=180). Variance components were calculated absolutely, as well as in relative contribution to total size variance. The following table shows the results.

## 14. Sample Stability
Four (4) studies were conducted to verify stability of patient serum and plasma samples.
i) Storage at 2-8°C. Eleven (11) native serum and plasma samples were measured in triplicate unstressed (fresh) and after storage for 1, 2, 6, and 7 days at 2-8°C. Results confirm storage of samples at 2-8°C for 6 days.
ii) Storage at -20°C. Eleven (11) native serum and plasma samples were measured in triplicate unstressed and after storage for 1, 2, 3, and 4 months at -20°C. Results confirm storage of samples at -20°C for up to 4 months.
iii) Storage at 25°C. Eleven (11) native serum and plasma samples were measured in triplicate unstressed and after storage for 1 and 4 days at 20-25°C. Results confirm storage of samples at 20-25°C for up to 4 days.
iv) Freeze/that Cycles. Eleven native serum and plasma samples were measured in triplicate unstressed and after 2, 5, and 6 freeze/thaw cycles. Results confirm samples may undergo a maximum of 6 freeze/thaw cycles prior to testing.
## 15. Calibration Stability
Calibration must be performed once per reagent lot using the Elecsys Anti-HBs II Cal1, Cal2, and fresh reagent (i.e., no more than 24 hours since the reagent kit was registered on the analyzer). Renewed calibration is recommended as follows:
- After 1 month (28 days) when using the same reagent lot
- After 7 days (when using the same reagent kit on the analyzer)
- As required (e.g., quality control findings with PreciControl Anti-HBs outside the specified limits).
When a reagent lot is first calibrated, the cobas e 601 analyzer will generate a "Lot Calibration" (as long as the reagent pack was not stored on-board the analyzer for more than 24 hours prior to calibration). A lot calibration can be used with multiple reagent packs of the same lot for a one-month period. If an individual reagent pack is on-board the system for more than 7 days, a recalibration must be performed. Two (2) studies were designed to support calibration frequency claims
## Study 1: Lot Calibration Stability
The initial calibration was done with unstressed/fresh reagent at time point 0. Fresh reagent of the same lot was run after 29 days again using initial calibration to
PMA P190034: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{15}
demonstrate stability of initial calibration. Five (5) human serum pools and PreciControl (PC1 and PC2) were tested in duplicate at time point 0 (unstressed reference) and again after 29 days using the initial calibration but fresh reagent from the same lot on three (3) different analyzers. Results support 28 days of lot calibration stability.
## Study 2: On-Board Calibration Stability
A new reagent pack of the current Elecsys Anti-HBs II was opened and calibrated, unstressed and after storage on-board the cobas e 601 analyzer for one week, with regard to stability of the weekly calibration. A new reagent pack was opened and calibrated. Five (5) human serum pools and the PreciControl were tested in duplicate with fresh reagent pack after initial calibration (timepoint 0=unstressed) and again after 8 days on-board storage (20°C ± 3°C) of the reagent pack using the initial calibration. Results support calibration stability for 7 days on-board cobas e 601 analyzer.
## 16. Calibrator Stability After First Opening
Study was performed to determine time period in which current Elecsys Anti-HBs II calibrators can be kept at 2-8°C once opened. A new reagent pack and calibrator vials were opened and closed. After 8 and 9 weeks storage at 2-8°C, the calibrator counts of the once opened calibrators were tested in duplicate together with unopened (=unstressed) calibrator. Calibrator stability was determined by calculation of the recovery of the calibrator signals (counts) of opened calibrators compared to unstressed calibrator signals (counts). Results support calibrator stability for 8 weeks at 2-8°C.
## 17. On-Board Stability-Open Calibrators
A current Elecsys Anti-HBs II reagent pack was opened and calibrator counts determined (unstressed) in duplicate. Reagent pack was stored at 2-8°C, and the opened calibrators stored at 20-25°C to simulate on-board stress. The stressed calibrators were tested after 6 hours in duplicate. Results support stability of calibrators for 6 hours on-board the cobas e 601 analyzer.
## Part II. Non-Clinical Briding Studies with Updated Elecsys Anti-HBs II
The following studies were performed as bridging studies to support equivalency between the "current" Elecsys HBs II without biotin mitigation and the "updated" Elecsys Anti-HBs II with biotin mitigation.
## 1. Precision
Precision was determined on the cobas e 601 analyzer using Elecsys reagents and controls in a protocol (EP05-A3) of the CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute). Results were generated from an 8 member panel and 2 controls, assayed

# 3. Comparison Study*
A comparison study was performed to show equivalency between the performance of the updated Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay and the current Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay on the cobas e 601 analyzer. A total of 541 native serum samples commercially sourced were measured internally with three (3) different reagent lots of each assay in single determination. The median of the values measured with the current Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay was taken as reference and used for comparison to the values generated with each of three (3) different lots of updated Elecsys Anti-HBs II.
The following table shows the concentration ranges of the samples.

# X. SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY
The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the detection of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen with the current Elecsys Anti-HBs II using samples that would routinely be tested for hepatitis in the US. Data from this clinical study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below.
## A. Study Design
A multi-center study was conducted to characterize the performance of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay on the cobas e 601 analyzer against the reference assay, Elecsys Anti-HBs, with individuals from defined populations. Performance of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay was assessed by testing a total of 4047 samples from adult, pediatric and pregnant subjects at increased risk, and vaccination subjects, at three (3) different study sites. All subjects were tested using FDA-approved reference methods. The 4047 subjects were comprised of 2067 adult subjects at increased risk (45.6% female and 54.4% male), 128 pediatric subjects (53.1% female and 46.9% male), 218 pregnant at increased risk subjects, and 70 vaccination subjects (45.7% female and 54.3% male), along with 692 supplemental samples (18.5% female and 81.4% male), 588 pregnant at low risk subjects and 284 specificity samples (57.0% female and 27.5% male), and were tested with the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay and the Elecsys Anti-HBs assay. The supplemental cohort was used to provide an adequate number for both acute and chronic individuals. The three (3) sites tested the at-risk and supplemental specimens with a full panel of anti-HBc IgM, anti-HBc, HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBe, and anti-HBs (reference) for serological characterization. The study included the following races: Caucasian, African-American/Black, Asian, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander.
## B. Accountability of PMA Cohort
The clinical agreement study involved the testing of 2759 samples Adult at increased risk (2067 prospectively collected and 692 supplemental) for the adult at increased risk (AIR) on six (6) FDA approved reference assays, each detecting a unique serological marker (HBsAg, HBeAg, Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc, Anti-HBc IgM, and Anti-HBe) in order to determine the HBV classification for each of the samples tested.
The following table shows the different HBV specimen classifications.

D. Safety and Effectiveness Results
1. Safety Results
With regard to safety, as an in vitro diagnostic test, the Elecsys Anti-HBs II involves taking a sample of plasma and serum from a patient. The test therefore presents no more safety hazard to an individual being tested than other tests where blood samples are drawn.
There was one death reported in the vaccination cohort which was determined to be unrelated to the vaccination in the PMA clinical study.
2. Effectiveness Results
The 4047 subjects were comprised of 2067 adult subjects at increased risk (45.6 % female and 54.4 % male), 128 pediatric subjects (53.1 % female and 46.9 % male), 218 pregnant at increased risk subjects, and 70 vaccination subjects (45.7 % female and 54.3 % male), along with 692 supplemental samples (18.5 % female and 81.4 % male), 588 pregnant at low risk subjects and 284 specificity samples (57.0 % female and 27.5 % male), and were tested with the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay and the Elecsys Anti-HBs assay. The supplemental cohort was used to provide an adequate number for both acute and chronic individuals. The three (3) sites tested the at-risk and supplemental specimens with a full panel of anti-HBc IgM, anti-HBc, HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBe, and anti-HBs (reference) for serological characterization. The study included the following races: Caucasian, African-American/Black, Asian, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander. Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in the tables below.
Specimens were tested using the Elecsys Anti-HBs II on the cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer and a FDA-approved reference assay to establish the clinical performance characteristics. The following tables compare the Elecsys Anti-HBs II results with the results obtained on an FDA-approved anti-HBs reference assay by HBV disease classification for the different cohorts tested.
Adult At Increased Risk (AIR)
A total of 2067 adults at increased risk were tested on the Elecsys Anti-HBs II and FDA approved reference assay, and the positive and negative percent agreement calculated as shown in the tables below.

Vaccination
Pre- and post-vaccination samples were collected from a minimum of 71 subjects who were inoculated with one of three (3) US-approved hepatitis B vaccines. Testing of the pre-vaccination samples found all 71 samples to be negative for anti-HBs, but one subject was anti-HBc positive and was therefore excluded. All 17 nonresponder specimens were negative/non-reactive in another FDA-approved anti-HBs assay. The following table shows the results.

# Pediatric
The pediatric increased-risk for hepatitis subgroup was acquired from the US-prospective sample collection to demonstrate the clinical performance of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay in subjects from 2 years through and including 21 years of age. A total of 128 samples were collected. The following table shows the results.

| 95% CI | 90.0 to 99.7 | | | |
In addition, there were 59 specimens from pregnant young women that met the age criteria for pediatric subjects at increased risk for hepatitis obtained in the prospective collection. Thirty-four (34) of these specimens were concordantly negative between the Elecsys Anti-HBs II assay and the Elecsys Anti-HBs assay, while 23 were concordantly positive. There was 1 positive and 1 negative in the test assay that was indeterminate with the reference assay. The NPA for this pregnant pediatric sub-group was $97.1\%$ (34/35) with confidence limits of 85.1 to $99.9\%$ . The PPA was $95.8\%$ (23/24) with confidence limits of 78.9 to $99.9\%$ .
# Pregnant
Pregnant subjects with increased risk for hepatitis (n=218) and with low risk for hepatitis (remnant samples n=588) were tested and analyzed. The results are shown in the following table.

3. **Subgroup Analyses**
The study design enabled an assessment of assay performance by subgroup as depicted in the tables above which show subjects stratified by cohort.
4. **Pediatric Extrapolation**
In this premarket application, existing clinical data was not leveraged to support approval of a pediatric patient population.
E. **Financial Disclosure**
The Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators regulation (21 CFR 54) requires applicants who submit a marketing application to include certain information concerning the compensation to, and financial interests and arrangement of, any clinical investigator conducting clinical studies covered by the regulation. The pivotal clinical study included 11 investigators. None of the clinical investigators had disclosable financial interests/arrangements as defined in sections 54.2(a), (b), (c), and (f). The information provided does not raise any questions about the reliability of the data.
XI. **PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION**
In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(3) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Microbiology Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel.
XII. **CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES**
A. **Effectiveness Conclusions**
The effectiveness of the Elecsys Anti-HBs II for the quantitative detection of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen in human serum and plasma (potassium EDTA) samples is supported by the clinical study results. The results of this test may be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HBV infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis and as an aid in determination of susceptibility to HBV infection for individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination. See Section X.D.2 for Effectiveness Results.

B. Safety Conclusions
The risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory studies as well as data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. Based on the results of these studies, the Elecsys Anti-HBs II when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions can aid the physician in the diagnosis of HBV infection and as an aid in determination of susceptibility to HBV infection for individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination.
C. Benefit-Risk Determination
The probable benefits of the device are also based on data collected in the clinical study conducted to support PMA approval as described above. The benefits of the assay are as part of a hepatitis B panel, the appropriate determination of HBV seroconversion as part of disease management and treatment. Treatment for appropriate patients can mitigate the sequelae of hepatitis B infection and may result in improved morbidity and mortality in these patients. Known sequelae of hepatitis B infection include continued symptoms, increases in all-cause mortality, liver disease-related complications and death, hepato-cellular carcinoma rates, and need for liver transplantation. Additionally, management and appropriate treatment for hepatitis B infection can potentially decrease transmission and disease burden in the general population and particularly in populations at high risk for hepatitis B infection. While the performance of the device in the clinical study suggests that patients will benefit from the assay, low prevalence of certain HBV classifications is a source of potential uncertainty when analyzing the samples. The wide confidence intervals for those subgroups is expected due to the biology of hepatitis B infection and is acceptable.
The risks associated with the device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, failure to correctly interpret the test results and failure to correctly operate the instrument.
The risks associated with the device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, failure to correctly interpret the test results, and failure to correctly operate the device.
Risks of false positive results when the device is used as an aid in the diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis or who may be at risk for HBV infection include improper patient management, including treatment for hepatitis B with antiviral medication. Antiviral medication has risks including toxicity and more rarely allergic reactions. Over time, viral resistance in patients who are coinfected but undiagnosed with other viruses that are treated with the same antiviral medication, such as HIV, can lead to viral resistance, however the chance of an undiagnosed co-infection in a patient treated for hepatitis B is unlikely.

vaccination or where vaccination status is unknown includes leading a provider to falsely believe that a patient has been vaccinated in the past and/or has current immunity when the patient, in fact, does not. This could lead to a missed opportunity to vaccinate a patient in whom Hepatitis B vaccination is indicated. Vaccination for appropriate patients can mitigate the sequelae of hepatitis B infection and may result in improved morbidity and mortality in these patients. Known sequelae of hepatitis B infection include continued symptoms, increases in all-cause mortality, liver disease-related complications and death, hepatocellular carcinoma rates, and need for liver transplantation. Vaccination for hepatitis B infection can potentially decrease transmission and disease burden in the general population and particularly in populations at high risk for hepatitis B infection.
Risks of false negative results when the device is used as an aid in the diagnosis of HBV infection in patients with symptoms of hepatitis or who may be at risk for HBV infection include potentially missing and not treating a patient who has hepatitis B infection. Missing and not treating a patient with hepatitis B infection whose clinical picture warrants antiviral treatment could result in the known sequelae of HBV infection and may result in high morbidity and mortality in these patients. Additionally, missing a diagnosis of hepatitis B infection will not allow for clinicians to potentially decrease transmission and disease burden in the general population, particularly in populations at high risk for hepatitis B infection.
Risks of false negative results when the device is used as an aid in the determination of susceptibility to HBV infection in individuals prior to or following HBV vaccination or where vaccination status is unknown include unnecessary repeated vaccination for hepatitis B. Although vaccination has risks such as local reactions, and serious adverse events due to Hepatitis B vaccination are rare, administration of extra doses of single-antigen hepatitis B vaccine is not generally harmful. In fact, it is common practice to administer higher dose vaccinations in an accelerated schedule for patients undergoing organ transplantation, for example.
