Indications for Use
The Roche Elecsys HSV-2 IgG immunoassay is a test for the in vitro qualitative determination of IgG class antibodies to HSV-2 in human serum and lithium-heparin plasma, K2-EDTA plasma, and K3-EDTA plasma. The test is intended for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid in presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. The predictive value of positive or negative results depends on the population's prevalence and the pretest likelihood of HSV-2. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on the indicated Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. This test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for use in a pediatric population, neonates and immunocompromised patients or for use at point of care facilities. The Elecsys PreciControl HSV is used for quality control of the Elecsys HSV-2 IgG immunoassay on the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
Device Story
Elecsys HSV-2 IgG is a two-step sandwich immunoassay using streptavidin microparticles and biotinylated recombinant HSV-2-specific antigen labeled with a ruthenium complex. Device utilizes electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) detection on Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. Input is human serum or plasma (lithium-heparin, K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA). System performs automated calculation of cut-off index (COI) based on two-point calibration using negative and positive calibrators. Output is qualitative (reactive/non-reactive) based on COI >= 1.0. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid physicians in presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection when correlated with clinical history and symptoms. Benefits include automated, standardized testing compared to manual methods.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated across three cohorts: expectant mothers (n=125), sexually active individuals (n=469), and low prevalence population (n=200). Positive percent agreement ranged from 75.00% to 97.83%; negative percent agreement ranged from 98.47% to 98.73%. Agreement with CDC panel was 100%. Analytical specificity tested against 13 cross-reactants with 100% agreement.
Technological Characteristics
Two-step sandwich immunoassay; electrochemiluminescence detection. Reagents: streptavidin-coated microparticles, biotinylated recombinant HSV-2 antigen (E. coli), ruthenylated HSV-2 antigen. Automated platform (Elecsys/cobas e series). Calibration: two-point, lot-specific. Controls: lyophilized human serum-based. Connectivity: integrated with analyzer software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for sexually active individuals and expectant mothers as an aid in presumptive diagnosis of HSV-2 infection. Not for pediatric, neonatal, immunocompromised patients, or point-of-care use. Not for blood/plasma donor screening.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.
