Intended Use
This assay is an indirect immunofluorescence antibody test for the detection and semi-quantitation of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in human serum.
Device Story
ImmuGlo™ ANCA Test System is an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) used to detect and semi-quantitate anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in human serum. The device utilizes human polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells as a substrate on slides. Patient serum is applied to the substrate; if ANCA is present, it binds to the antigens in the PMN cells. A fluorescein-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is then applied to visualize the bound antibodies via fluorescence microscopy. The test is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results are interpreted by observing fluorescence patterns, aiding clinicians in the diagnosis of necrotizing vasculitides. The system includes positive and negative control sera, buffered diluent, phosphate-buffered saline, and mounting medium to ensure standardized testing conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared IMMCO ImmuGlo™ to Scimedx ANCA IFA on 129 samples. Results: 49 positive/positive, 73 negative/negative, 7 positive/negative (IMMCO+/Scimedx-). Relative sensitivity 100%, relative specificity 91%, relative agreement 95%. Discrepant samples were further tested by ELISA for MPO/PR3; 6 of 7 discrepant samples were positive by ELISA, supporting the higher sensitivity of the IMMCO device.
Technological Characteristics
Indirect immunofluorescence assay using human PMN cell substrate. Components include fluorescein-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate, Evans Blue counterstain, positive/negative control sera, buffered diluent, phosphate-buffered saline, and mounting medium. Screening dilution is 1:20. Storage of substrate slides at 2°-8°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the detection and semi-quantitation of ANCA in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of patients with necrotizing vasculitides.
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).

# Clinical Test Data to Demonstrate Substantial Equivalence:
Substantial equivalence between the IMMCO and Scimedx assays is demonstrated in the table below.
| | | IMMCO | | |
|---------|----------|----------|----------|-------|
| | | Positive | Negative | Total |
| Scimedx | Positive | 49 | 0 | 49 |
| | Negative | 7 | 73 | 80 |
| | Total | 56 | 73 | 129 |
Relative Specificity: 91% Relative Sensitivity: 100% Relative Agreement: 95%
### Conclusions:
This test is substantially equivalent to that of Scimedx. The seven discrepant samples observed by indirect immunofluorescent method in the table above were tested by ELISA for antibodies to mveloperoxidase (MPO) or proteinase 3 (PR3) antigens, the two major antigens associated with ANCA. Of the seven samples positive on IMMCO's IFA system and negative on the Scimedx IFA system, all but one tested positive by ELISA, suggesting the true positivity of these samples. This discrepancy can therefore be accounted for by the greater sensitivity of the ImmuGlo™ Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) Test System.
