The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile EIA kit is designed for the qualitative determination of eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases such as SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), Scleroderma (Progressive Systemic Sclerosis), MCTD (Mixed Connective Tissue Disease), SS (Sjögren's Syndrome) and Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis. The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile individually detects antibodies against dsDNA, RNP(68 kDa, A, C), Sm(B,B',D) SS-A/Ro(52 kDa, 60 kDa), SS-B/La, Scl-70, Centromere and Jo-1.
Device Story
Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for qualitative detection of eight specific antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma. Device aids clinical diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Input is patient serum or plasma sample; device performs immunoassay to detect antibodies against dsDNA, RNP, Sm, SS-A/Ro, SS-B/La, Scl-70, Centromere, and Jo-1. Output is qualitative result for each antibody. Healthcare providers use results to support diagnosis of conditions like SLE, Scleroderma, and Sjögren's Syndrome. Benefits include improved diagnostic specificity for rheumatic autoimmune conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Correlation study compared subject device to predicate devices using 112 clinical samples (including 20 healthy donors). Results showed 96% overall agreement (107/112 samples). Analysis of 876 individual antibody determinations showed 96% agreement (845/876). Additional validation performed using 10 CDC reference sera (CDC-1 to CDC-10), demonstrating 100% agreement with expected specificities.
Technological Characteristics
Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for qualitative detection of antinuclear antibodies. Utilizes recombinant antigens for individual detection of eight specific antibodies. Form factor is a multi-well plate kit. Standalone diagnostic test performed in clinical laboratory environment. No software or electronic connectivity described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of eight antinuclear antibodies (dsDNA, RNP, Sm, SS-A/Ro, SS-B/La, Scl-70, Centromere, Jo-1) in human serum or plasma to aid diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases including SLE, Scleroderma, MCTD, Sjögren's Syndrome, and Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis.
Regulatory Classification
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).

# Substantial Equivalence to:
Varelisa® ANA Profile and Varelisa® dsDNA Antibodies Assays
### Intended Use Statement:
The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile EIA kit is designed for the qualitative determination of eight antinuclear antibodies in human serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic diseases such as SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), Scleroderma (Progressive Systemic Sclerosis), MCTD (Mixed Connective Tissue Disease), SS (Sjögren's Syndrome) and Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis. The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile individually detects antibodies against dsDNA, RNP(68 kDa, A, C), Sm(B,B',D) SS-A/Ro(52 kDa, 60 kDa), SS-B/La, Scl-70, Centromere and Jo-1.
### General Description of the Device
The Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile is an enzyme immunoassay for the individual qualitative determination of 8 antinuclear antibodies in serum or plasma.
The determination of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is of central importance for the clinical diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. The presence of ANA suggests the possibility of rheumatic autoimmune diseases. These diseases include Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Polymyositis/ Dermatomyositis, Scleroderma, Sjögren's Syndrome and Mixed Connective Tissue Diseases.
### Device Comparison:
A correlation study was performed comparing the new device, Varelisa ReCombi ANA Profile Assay, to the predicate devices, Varelisa ANA Profile and Varelisa dsDNA Antibodies Assay. 112 samples, including 20 apparently healthy blood donors were assayed using both tests.
A high degree of correlation is demonstrated in the correlation study. 107 out of 112 samples were found with the same result (96% agreement). Considering the individual parameters, 845 of 876 single determinations (96%) were in agreement between the new device and the predicate devices.
{2}------------------------------------------------
In addition a total agreement is observed when comparing the results obtained for the ANA Reference Sera CDC-1 to CDC-10 from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. With both thenew device and predicate devices, all 10 sera were found with the correct specificities.
These data clearly demonstrate that the new device, Varelisa® ReCombi ANA Profile is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Varelisa ANA Profile and Varelisa dsDNA Antibodies.
