The Wieslab™ Cap PR3-ANCA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to proteinase 3 (PR3) in human sera. The assay is used to detect antibodies in a single serum specimen. The results of the assay are to be used as an aid to the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis. The assay is intended for use in patients with signs and symptoms consistent with WG. It is not intended for screening a healthy population. The analysis should be performed by trained laboratory professionals.
Device Story
Wieslab™ Cap PR3-ANCA is an ELISA test kit for detecting IgG antibodies to proteinase 3 (PR3) in human serum. Microtiter wells are coated with monoclonal antibody to PR3 and PR3 antigen. Patient serum is incubated in wells; specific antibodies bind to antigen. After washing, alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added. Substrate solution is added; color intensity (optical density) correlates to bound antibody concentration. Performed by trained laboratory professionals in clinical settings. Results are calculated against a calibrator curve in arbitrary units. Output aids physicians in diagnosing Wegener's granulomatosis in symptomatic patients.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated on 363 characterized sera. Sensitivity for Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) was 96.0% (95% CI: 83.3-99.5%). Specificity in healthy controls was 100% (95% CI: 97.0-100%), SLE 100% (95% CI: 92.0-100%), and RA 100% (95% CI: 80.5-100%). Method comparison with predicate (n=180) showed 98.3% overall agreement. Analytical precision (intra-assay CV 3-13%, inter-assay CV 4-14%) and linearity (10-320 U/mL) were established.
Technological Characteristics
ELISA-based immunological test system. Components: microtiter strips coated with monoclonal antibody to PR3 and PR3 antigen. Detection: alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate and substrate solution. Measurement: optical density (OD) via spectrophotometry. Quantitative output in arbitrary units.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with signs and symptoms consistent with Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) to aid in diagnosis. Not intended for screening healthy populations.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).

L. Test Principle:
The Wieslab™ Cap PR-3 ANCA test kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to proteinase 3 (PR3) in human serum. The wells
{2}
of the microtiter plate strips are coated with a capture complex of monoclonal antibody to proteinase 3 and purified PR3 antigen. Antibodies specific to PR3 in diluted serum bind to the capture antigen during the first incubation. The wells are then washed to remove unbound antibodies. An enzyme labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added to bind the capture antigen-antibody complex in the well during the second incubation step. After a further washing step, detection of the specific antibodies is obtained by incubation with substrate solution. The amount of bound antibodies correlated to the color intensity and is measured in terms of absorbance (optical density, OD). The absorbance is then calculated against the calibrator curve and the results are given in arbitrary Units/mL.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The intra-assay reproducibility was determined by testing eight samples 24 times. Five samples with high anti-PR3 concentrations (102-141 U/mL) had a CV of 6-9% and three samples close to the assay cut-off (24-42 U/mL) had a CV of 3-13%. The inter-assay reproducibility was determined by testing seven samples in duplicate for four times. Three samples with high anti-PR3 concentrations (77-138 U/mL) had a CV of 6-7%. Four samples close to the assay cut-off (23-49 U/mL) had a CV of 4-14%.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Three positive sera were diluted serially from neat, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 dilutions. The values were compared to log 2 of dilution by standard regression. The values indicate that the assay has a linear relationship with serum dilutions. The assay reportable range is from 10-320 U/mL.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
There is no reference standard for anti-PR3. The calibrators and controls (positive and negative) are prepared in-house and arbitrary units are assigned during the development process.
d. Detection limit:
Not applicable.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference by endogenous substances: No data provided. The package insert states to avoid sera which are icteric, lipemic, and hemolyzed; and heat-inactivated sera should not be used.
Crossreactivity with heterophile antibodies: Since one of the capture antigen component is a monoclonal antibody, some in-house interference studies (~12000 samples) were performed. The effect was determined to be very low (0.025%). The package insert states that 'individuals receiving mouse anti-human antibodies for treatment or diagnosis, or those patients who have otherwise exposed to mouse immunoglobulin, may produce Human Anti-Mouse Antibodies (HAMA). These antibodies can interfere with assays using mouse monoclonal antibodies and may cause falsely elevated levels'.
f. Assay cut-off:
The cut-off value of >30 U/mL was based on testing 120 normal blood donor sera, 17 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) samples, 46 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). All of the
3
{3}
normal donors were negative. One of the RA and one of the SLE samples were equivocal (23 and 27 U/mL respectively).
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Testing was performed on 180 samples. The positive percent agreement was 97.6% (40/41); the negative percent agreement was 98.5% (133/135) and the Overall Agreement was 98.3% (173/176).

3. Clinical studies:
a. Clinical sensitivity and specificity:
The clinical sensitivity and specificity study were evaluated on 363 clinically characterized sera from patients with the following diagnosis: 50 WG; 50 microscopic polyangiitis (MP); 45 SLE; 18 RA; 80 glomerular basement membrane antibody (GBM); and 120 healthy blood donors. Sensitivity for WG was 97%. Sensitivity for MP patients was 31.2% because PR3-ANCA antibodies are only found in approximately one third of the MP patients. The overall specificity of the new device (healthy and disease controls) was 97.3%.
