## Indications for Use

The MESACUP-2 Test Mitochondria M2 is a semi-quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of anti-Mitochondrial antibodies in human serum as an aid in the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis. The MESACUP-2 Test Mitochondria M2 is intended to be used by clinical (hospital and reference) laboratories.

## Device Story

MESACUP-2 Test Mitochondria M2 is an ELISA-based diagnostic assay; utilizes 96-microwell plates coated with mitochondria M2 antigens. Input: human serum samples. Process: patient serum, calibrators, and controls incubated in coated wells; anti-mitochondria M2 antibodies bind to immobilized antigen; unbound proteins washed away; HRP-labeled anti-human immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA) added to form complexes; TMB/H2O2 chromogenic substrate added. Output: color intensity proportional to anti-mitochondria M2 antibody concentration, measured via spectrophotometry at 450nm. Used in clinical/reference laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid clinicians in diagnosing primary biliary cirrhosis.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated in 123 PBC patients and 289 controls (healthy donors and patients with autoimmune hepatitis, HBV, or HCV). Sensitivity was 90.2% (111/123 positive). Specificity was 98% (283/289 negative). Method comparison with predicate showed 90.3% overall agreement. Analytical precision (intra-assay, inter-assay, inter-lot) demonstrated %CVs ranging from 0.9% to 5.3%.

## Technological Characteristics

Semi-quantitative indirect ELISA. Solid phase: microtiter plates coated with recombinant M2 antigen. Detection: HRP-conjugated polyclonal goat anti-human IgG, IgM, and IgA. Substrate: TMB/H2O2. Reportable range: 5-300 U/mL. Cut-off: 7 U/mL. Manual or automated plate processing in clinical laboratory setting.

## Regulatory Identification

An antimitochondrial antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the antimitochondrial antibodies in human serum. The measurements aid in the diagnosis of diseases that produce a spectrum of autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissue), such as primary biliary cirrhosis (degeneration of liver tissue) and chronic active hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).

which captures mitochondrial (M2) autoantibodies present in the patient sample. The conjugate is polyclonal goat anti-human IgG, IgM and IgA (heavy chain specific) horseradish peroxidase (HRP) which uses 3,3'5,5' tetramethylbenzidine dihydrochloride/hydrogen peroxide (TMB/H₂O₂) as substrate. The kit contains 2 levels of calibrators (0 units/mL and 100 u/mL) for interpretation of results. A positive and a negative control are included with the kit. The kit also contains sample diluent, wash buffer concentrate and stop solution.

L. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility: Three lots of the MESACUP-2 Test Mitochondria M2 were performed to determine the assay's intra-assay, inter-assay and inter-lot value precision.

Page 3 of 5

## Intra-assay

Intra-assay precision (%CV) was determined by running 3 serum samples (low, moderate and high positive) using 8 dilutions of 3 different coated plates from 3 different plate lots. The 3 separate plates employed were randomly selected from each plate-coating run (kit-lot). Resulting %CVs were determined from values obtained. The mean intra-assay precision for the 3 samples tested on 3 plates from each lot was 1.9% ranging from 0.9-3.4%.

## Inter-assay, intra-lot

To determine the amount of variability between plates of the same lot, 3 samples in duplicate were tested on 6 separate assays employing 6 different plates randomly selected from the same plate lot. This was performed on 3 separate plate lots. The mean %CV for inter-assay, intra-lot precision was 2.5% with a range of 1.0-4.3%.

## Inter-assay, inter-lot

The precision between lots was determined by comparing the values recovered for 3 different samples on 3 different pilot lots. Each of the 3 samples was tested in duplicate and by 2 operators in each assay. The mean inter-assay, inter-lot %CV was 5.3%.

## b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

The reportable range of 5-300 U/mL was demonstrated by recovery studies.

## c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

An international reference material for anti-mitochondrial M2 antibodies is not available. The assay is calibrated in relative arbitrary units.

## d. Detection limit:

Not applicable

## e. Analytical specificity:

Hemoglobin (up to 480 mg/dL), bilirubin (up to 20 mg/dL), chyle (up to 2780 units as Formazine) and Rheumatoid Factor (up to 520 IU/mL) do not interfere with the assay.

## f. Assay cut-off:

A healthy population consisting of 168 unselected human serum samples was tested for anti-mitochondria M2 antibodies. All normal samples were tested in duplicate. The cut-off was established by calculating the number and percentage of positive samples in the challenge population at the mean plus 3 standard deviation (SD) intervals. The cut-off value of 7 U/mL was assigned to the mean plus 3 SD interval OD and value. Using 7 U/mL as the cut-off, the assay was 98.2% specific. A second set of 40 healthy blood donor samples was tested for anti-mitochondria M2 antibodies. All normal

samples were tested in duplicate. The number and percent positive samples confirmed value recovery of a normal population and cut-off level appropriateness. Based on a cut-off value of 7 U/mL, 90% were negative (mean value 4 U/mL, 2SD = 2.5 U/mL). There is no equivocal (gray) zone for this assay.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Comparison studies for 62 subjects (40 healthy blood donors and 22 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) showed an overall agreement of 90.3%.
b. Matrix comparison:
Serum is the only recommended matrix.

3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical sensitivity:
Clinical sensitivity for the new assay was determined by testing a population of PBC patient serum specimens (n=123). Using a cut-off of 7 U/mL, 111 of the 123 samples (90.2%) were positive for anti-mitochondrial M2 antibodies. The mean value for the PBC samples was 106.7 U/mL. When this value was compared to the mean for the healthy controls, a p-value of 3.93 x 10⁻⁵¹ was obtained (single factor ANOVA). At a level of p&lt;0.05 for statistical significance, the results of this population were determined to be statistically different compared to the healthy controls.
b. Clinical specificity:
A total of 289 samples were tested. Serum samples from 168 consecutive healthy blood donors were used as a normal population. Serum samples from three liver disease groups were tested to further determine clinical specificity of the test. The groups included autoimmune hepatitis type I (n=27) and type II (n=4), hepatitis B virus positive (n=44), and hepatitis C virus positive (n=46). Anti-mitochondrial M2 antibodies are specific for primary biliary cirrhosis and should not be found in normal sera or other liver disease patient sera. Two hundred eighty three samples were found negative in these populations demonstrating a specificity of 98% for the 7 U/mL cut-off value.
c. Other clinical supportive data (when a and b are not applicable):

4. Clinical cut-off:
See assay cut-off.

5. Expected values/Reference range:
The expected value in the normal population is negative. According to published literature, the incidence in the PBC group is 90-95%.
