## Indications for Use

ZYMUTEST HIA IgG and IgGAM kits are designed as a solid phase enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These products are intended to be used as an in vitro diagnostics kit by Hematology, coagulation or other pathology laboratories to assist in screening patients samples for the presence of heparin- associated antibodies commonly found in patients with heparin induced thrombocytopenia or thrombosis (HIT).

## Device Story

ZYMUTEST HIA is a solid-phase ELISA kit for detecting anti-heparin/Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) antibodies in human citrated plasma or serum. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians or pathologists to assist in diagnosing heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) or thrombosis. The assay utilizes a sandwich ELISA technique; patient samples are incubated in wells coated with PF4/heparin complexes; bound antibodies are detected via enzyme-linked secondary antibodies. Results are interpreted by laboratory personnel to aid clinical decision-making regarding heparin therapy management. Benefits include identifying patients at risk for or experiencing HIT, allowing for timely clinical intervention.

## Clinical Evidence

Performance evaluated via method comparison studies against predicate devices (Asserachrom, GTI PF4 Enhanced) and SRA. Studies involved 174 to 345 samples. ZYMUTEST IgGAM vs. Asserachrom showed 76% agreement (64% co-positivity, 81% co-negativity). ZYMUTEST IgGAM vs. GTI PF4 Enhanced showed 74% agreement (58% co-positivity, 90% co-negativity). ZYMUTEST IgG vs. Asserachrom showed 76% agreement (44% co-positivity, 90% co-negativity). ZYMUTEST IgG vs. SRA showed 75.3% matching. Precision testing (intra/inter-assay) showed CVs ranging from 3.07% to 7.50%.

## Technological Characteristics

Solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a sandwich technique. Analyte: anti-heparin/PF4 antibodies. Sample type: citrated human plasma or serum. Connectivity: None (manual/standalone laboratory assay). Sterilization: Not applicable (in vitro diagnostic reagent).

## Regulatory Identification

A platelet factor 4 radioimmunoassay is a device used to measure the level of platelet factor 4, a protein released during platelet activation by radioimmunoassay. This device measures platelet activiation, which may indicate a coagulation disorder, such as myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease.

K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):

L. Test Principle:
When a diluted plasma sample and platelet lysate is added to one of the microwells of the coated plate, if present, heparin-dependent antibodies present in the sample will form complexes with unfractionated heparin immobilized on the plate. Following a washing step, bound antibodies are mixed with the immunoconjuuagate, which will bind to IgG, IgM, and IgA isotypes. Following another washing step, the TMB peroxidase substrate is added, and a blue color develops which turns yellow upon the addition of the stop

solution. The color that develops is directly proportional to the amount of heparin-dependent antibodies present in the tested sample.

ranging from 0 to 5 IU/ml. After heparin addition, plasma was diluted 1:100 and tested. Results demonstrated no heparin interference up to 1 IU/ml.

f. Assay cut-off:

The assay was evaluated in hospital patients with no HIT, ACC patients with circulating anticoagulant antibodies with no HIT, and normal healthy donors with no autoimmunity background. Cut-off was established as mean + 3SD for the normal hospital patients and ACC patients, which corresponded to + 5 SD for normal healthy donors.
