## L. Test Principle:

The QUANTA Flash® assays utilize a predefined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded into the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Based on the results of running two calibrators, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the Relative Light Units (RLU) obtained for each patient. The calibrators are not included as part of the QUNTA Flash® assays.

The principles of the assay are similar to other solid phase indirect immunosorbent assays. The solid phase is paramagnetic beads and the detecting reagent is an isoluminol-conjugated anti-human IgG monoclonal antibody. Native human PR3, MPO or GBM are coated onto paramagnetic latex beads. Patient samples are loaded into a sample rack and then in the sample carousel of the instrument. A patient's serum is diluted by the instrument with sample dilution buffer in a disposable cuvette. A small amount of the diluted sample is combined with assay buffer and antigen coated beads in a second cuvette, and mixed. This reaction cuvette is incubated for 9 ½ minutes at 37°C. The cuvette is then exposed to a small magnet that holds the beads in place, the liquid is aspirated, and the beads are re-suspended as system rinse is added to the cuvette and the magnet is removed. This wash cycle is repeated one more time. During the third wash, no system rinse is added after the aspiration step. After the third wash, isoluminol conjugated monoclonal anti-human IgG (known as tracer IgG) is added to the beads in the cuvette, and mixed. Again, the cuvette is incubated for 9 ½ minutes at 37°C. Three wash steps, as described above, are performed on the beads. In the fourth wash step, no liquid is added to the beads after the aspiration. The cuvette is then placed in a light-tight luminometer and the beads are exposed to a base and an oxidizing agent. These two reagents, or "Triggers", cause the isoluminol to produce a flash of visible light. The light produced from this reaction is measured as RLU by the BIO-FLASH® optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of autoantibodies bound to the antigen on the beads.

## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

|  QUANTA Flash® PR3 | 2.3 | 3,285.3  |
|  QUANTA Flash® MPO | 3.2 | 739.8  |
|  QUANTA Flash® GBM | 2.9 | 1,437.8  |

# Over the range Detection:

If the auto- rerun feature is not enabled by the customer, any patient with a calculated CU above the reportable range will be reported as greater than the highest point of the reportable range (e.g.,  $>3,285.3$  CU" for PR3). If the auto- rerun feature is enabled, the instrument will automatically perform a 1:20 dilution and rerun the sample. To assess the auto- rerun capability of the instrument, two samples greater than the highest point of the reportable range were run with the auto- rerun feature enabled. These samples were also diluted manually and retested. The manual dilution and the instrument re-run result variations were between  $0\%$  and  $7\%$  for the samples tested.

# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

# Traceability:

There are no reference standards for IgG anti-PR3, anti-MPO or anti-GBM. Calibrators and controls are assigned values based on a 20 unit cutoff between positive and negative during assay development. Calibrators and control materials are specified in the labeling but are not supplied with the assay. The table below summarizes the control and calibrators target values:

|   | PR3 | MPO | GBM  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Calibrators  |   |   |   |
|  Calibrator 1 | 10 | 10 | 10  |
|  Calibrator 2 | 580 | 190 | 400  |
|  Controls  |   |   |   |
|  Control 1 | 10 | 10 | 10  |
|  Control 2 | 50 | 50 | 50  |

# Calibrators:

The QUANTA Flash® PR3, MPO and GBM Calibrators are designed to adjust the predefined Master Curve into an instrument specific working curve. Two calibrators for each assay, one below the cut-off and one above the cut-off are manufactured and the target values are determined using the master curve generated using the six in-house standard points. Each calibrator has a specific CU. The BIO-Flash® instrument uses these unit values, together with the resulting RLU produced by each calibrator, to establish point of reference for the working curve. This working curve is used to calculate CU from RLU for each patient. Calibrators consist of diluted

{10}

human serum containing IgG to PR3, MPO or GBM. Stability is based on accelerated stability studies. The claimed calibrator's shelf life is 1 year at  $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . The calibrators may be stored open for a maximum of 8 hours onboard the instrument. Real time stability is ongoing.

## Controls:

Controls are manufactured by diluting human serum containing high-titer IgG anti-PR3, MPO or GBM antibodies into buffer. A target CU value is achieved through trial dilutions. Once a dilution is selected, the controls are tested, and adjusted. The product undergoes extensive final validation testing to assign a final value. Stability is based on accelerated stability studies. The claimed controls shelf life is 1 year at  $2-8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . Controls may be used up to 15 times, 10 minute per use onboard the instrument. Real time stability study is ongoing.

## Kit Stability:

The claimed stability is based on accelerated studies and is summarized in the table below. Real time stability is ongoing.

|   | PR3 | MPO | GBM  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Kit – shelf life (2-8°C) | 1 year | 1 year | 1 year  |
|  Kit – on board stability | 70 days | 86 days | 42 days  |

## d. Detection limit:

## Limit of Blank (LoB):

Immunoglobulin stripped serum was used as the blank material. 30 samples were run at least twice, in replicates to obtain at least 60 measurements. The LoB RLU values are lower than the bottom limit of the four parameter logistic curve that the instrument used to calculate CU, and therefore cannot be converted into CU. The bottom limit of the curve is approximately 2000 RLU for all assays and is equivalent to 2.3 CU, 3.2 CU and 2.9 CU for PR3, MPO and GBM, respectively. The following equation was used to calculate the LoB:  $\mathrm{LoB} = \mu_{\mathrm{B}} + 1.645 * \sigma_{\mathrm{B}}$

The following LoB was determined:

$\mathrm{LoB} < 2.3$  for PR3,  $< 3.2$  CU for MPO and  $< 2.9$  CU for GBM.

## Limit of Detection (LoD):

Four sera for the PR3 and GBM CIAs and five sera for the MPO CIA were serially diluted until the RLU values no longer show a decreasing trend. Serum samples were diluted to a concentration that are between the LoB and approximately  $4 \times$  LoB. The samples were run in replicates of 4 for 4 days; 2 days on 1 instrument and 2 more days on another instrument to obtain 16 measurements per sample for a total of at least 60 measurements. The LoD for the three assays is below the lower limit of the reportable range.

{11}

e. Analytical specificity:

Interfering substances:

PR3, MPO and GBM sera with different analyte concentrations (negative, positive and around the cutoff) were mixed with known quantities of bilirubin (10, 5 or 2.5 mg/dL), hemoglobin (200, 100 or 50 mg/dL), cholesterol (224.3, 112.2 or 56.0 mg/dL), triglycerides (1000, 500 or 250 mg/dL) or rheumatoid factor (RF) (about 500, 300 or 100 IU/mL). No interference was observed up to the concentrations listed in the table below:

|  Potential Interfering Compound | Concentration  |
| --- | --- |
|  Bilirubin | 10 mg/dL  |
|  Hemoglobin | 200 mg/dL  |
|  Tryglycerides | 1000 mg/dL  |
|  Cholesterol | 224.3 mg/dL  |
|  Rheumatoid factor | 500 IU/mL  |

Hook effect:

A separate experiment showed that the assay does not appear to demonstrate a hook effect at high concentrations: up to 8,919.7 CU for the PR3 assay, up to 5,744.5 CU for MPO and up to 6,701.7 CU for GBM.

f. Assay cut-off:

The cutoff is the same as the predicate and was set at:

Negative < 20 CU

Positive ≥ 20 CU
