Each well is coated with lysed Hep2 cells and specific antigens. The test collectively detects, in one well, total ANAs against double stranded DNA (dsDNA), histones, SS-A (Ro), SS-B (La), Sm, snRNP/Sm, Scl-70, Jo-1 and centromeric antigens along with sera positive for Hep2 immunofluorescence test (IFT). The assay is a tool in the diagnosis of certain systemic rheumatic diseases and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings. ## Device Story AESKULISA ANA-Hep2 is a qualitative ELISA test for detecting IgG antibodies against Hep2 cells and specific nuclear antigens (dsDNA, histones, SS-A, SS-B, Sm, snRNP/Sm, Scl-70, Jo-1, centromeric) in human serum. The device uses microtiter plates coated with lysed Hep2 cells and antigens. Patient serum is incubated in the wells; if ANA antibodies are present, they bind to the antigens. After washing, anti-human IgG HRP conjugate is added, followed by TMB substrate. The resulting enzymatic colorimetric reaction (blue to yellow after acid stop) is measured at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader. The optical density (OD) is proportional to the antibody concentration. The test is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing systemic rheumatic diseases when combined with other clinical and serological data. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical trials were performed. Substantial equivalence was established via analytical performance testing and a method comparison study. Method comparison with the predicate device (n=59) showed 100% agreement (57 positive, 2 negative). Analytical specificity was demonstrated using 57 characterized patient sera (all positive) and 91 negative control sera (11 positive for other antigens, 80 healthy donors). Precision (intra-assay and inter-assay) showed %CVs ranging from 1.5% to 3.1%. Linearity/recovery was confirmed via serial dilutions. ## Technological Characteristics Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Wells coated with lysed HEp-2 cells and specific nuclear antigens. Qualitative detection of IgG antibodies. Manual or automated plate processing. ## Regulatory Identification An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues). ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
