## Indications for Use

The REAADS von Willebrand Factor Activity Test Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELSA) for the quantitative determination of von Willebrand Factor Activity (vWF:Act) in citrated human plasma. The REAADS von Willebrand Factor Activity Test Kit is intended to be used by clinical (hospital and reference) laboratories.

## Device Story

REAADS von Willebrand Factor Activity Test Kit is an ELISA-based diagnostic assay for citrated human plasma. Process: patient plasma incubated in 96-microwell plates coated with monoclonal antibody; unbound proteins washed; bound antigen quantitated via HRP-conjugated anti-human vWF antibody; chromogenic reaction developed using TMB and H2O2. Output: optical density (O.D.) measured at 450nm via spectrophotometer; relative percent concentration calculated against reference plasma curve. Used in clinical/reference laboratories by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing and differentiating von Willebrand disease subtypes (Type I vs Type II) to guide treatment decisions.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical study compared REAADS kit to predicate device using 262 patient plasma samples. Statistical analysis via Pearson Product Moment Correlation demonstrated a positive correlation (r=0.943) with significant correlation (P<0.001) between the two test populations.

## Technological Characteristics

Sandwich ELISA; 96-microwell polystyrene plates coated with monoclonal capture antibody; HRP-conjugated detection antibody; TMB/H2O2 chromogenic substrate; spectrophotometric detection at 450 nm. Manual assay format. Standardized against ISTH/SSC Plasma 2° Coagulation Standard.

K. Test Principle: The Corgenix REAADS vWF:Act assay is a sandwich ELISA. A monoclonal capture antibody (MAB) specific for the portion of vWF which binds platelets, is coated onto 96-microwell polystyrene plates. Diluted patient plasma is incubated in the wells to allow available antigen to bind to the MAB-coated microwell surface. The plates are washed to remove unbound proteins, and bound antigen is quantitated using horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-human vWF detection antibody. Following incubation, unbound conjugate is removed by washing, and a chromogenic substrate of tetramethylbenzidine and hydrogen peroxide is added to develop a colored reaction. Color intensity is measured in optical density (O.D.) units with a spectrophotometer at 450 nm. Patient vWF:Act, in relative percent (%) concentration is determined against a curve made from the reference plasma provided with kit.

L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility: The following precision studies were performed:

Intra-assay, using (3), each, plasmas, plates and lots, (16) replicates/sample/plate. Mean %CV’s ranged 2.6 – 6.4%, with an overall %CV = 4.3%. They also ran duplicates of (14) plasmas, with %CV’s ranging 3.8 – 6.1%. The overall %CV = 5.2%.

Inter-assay/intra-lot, using the same sample configuration. %CV’s ranged 3.3 – 6.1%; 3.8 – 4.5%; and 0.6 – 2.6%. The overall %CV = 3.6%. They also ran (7) controls on (2) lots of (3) plates. The %CV’s ranged 1.6 – 3.7%, with the overall %CV = 2.6%.

Inter-assay/inter-lot, using duplicates of (8), each, (2) lots controls and healthy plasmas. Mean %CV’s ranged 0.0 – 2.6%, with an overall %CV = 8.3%.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range: The company performed curve fit studies, using duplicate testing of reference plasma dilutions on (3) lots of plates. Theoretical values plotted against the recovered values yielded R2 values &gt; 0.98.

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method): The Reference Plasma was standardized against the ISTH/SSC Plasma 2° Coagulation Standard, which is calibrated against WHO International Standards. Value assignment was determined by (2) operators, on (3) lots of the Plasma, using (2) dilutions of (10) vials, run in duplicate. The mean value was 105.0%, with %CV = 8.7%.

The Normal and Abnormal control plasmas were cleared under #K941737 and #K941872, respectively.

d. Detection limit: Serial dilutions were performed on (3) lots of Reference Plasma, with a known value. The lowest concentration of 3.1% was 3 SD from the reagent blank.

e. Analytical specificity: The company chose to use literature References, along with a statement in the Limitations, to address possible interferences.

f. Assay cut-off: The cut-off was determined on patients (N=100) to be 50% (the 10/90th percentile). The mean was 98%, with a median of 100%.

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device: The company performed an in-house comparison of the REAADS vs the Shields assay, using clinical samples (N = 64), which included normal plasmas (N=26), Type 1 vWD plasmas (N=18) and Type 2 vWD plasmas (N = 20).

In addition, they provided data from a clinical study performed at Emory University. They included normals (N=98), Type 1 vWD (N=70), and Type 2 vWD (N=30), for a sample total of (N=198). The 'r' value was 0.961. They were able to obtain only (1) Type 3 vWD plasma, with a value of 1.4%.

Individual 'r' values ranged from 0.882 – 0.967, over an assay range of 0.9 – 163%. The REAADS was statistically similar to the Shield assay.

b. Matrix comparison: The company performed a study on 3.2% vs 3.8% sodium citrate plasmas (N=20) healthy donors. There was no significant difference between the two concentrations. The 'r' value = 0.951.

|  Mean | 3.2% | 3.8%  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|   |  77.3% | 85.0%  |
|  Range | 37.7 – 137% | 35.3 – 139.8%  |

3. Clinical studies:

a. Clinical sensitivity: Of the normal samples tested (N=98), none tested deficient with the Shield assay; and (1) sample tested deficient, at 48%, with the REAADS assay.

Of the Type 1 vWF plasmas (N=70), (30) tested deficient with the Shields assay; and (33), with the REAADS assay.

Of the Type 2 plasmas (N=30), (24) tested deficient with the Shields assay; and (22) with the REAADS assay.

b. Clinical specificity: (See above).
