L. Test Principle:
The Immunoscan RA anti-CCP test kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to Rheumatoid Arthritis in human serum. The wells of the microtiter plate wells are coated with purified citrullinated synthetic peptides antigen. Diluted serum is applied to the wells and incubated. If specific antibodies are present, they will bind to the antigen in the wells. Unbound material is washed away and any bound antibody is detected
{2}
by adding horse radish peroxidase (HRP) labeled anti-human IgG, followed by a second washing step, and an incubation with substrate. The presence of reacting antibodies will result in the development of colour which is proportional to the quantity of bound antibody, and this is determined photometrically.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
a. **Precision/Reproducibility:**
The intra-assay reproducibility was determined by testing six samples eight times. Four samples with high anti-CCP concentrations (88.1-1007.4 U/mL) had a CV of 4.3-12.8% and two samples close to the assay cut-off (33.6-51.7 U/mL) had a CV of 8.1-8.4%.
The inter-assay reproducibility was determined by testing six samples eight times. Four samples with high anti-CCP concentrations (93.1-1105.9 U/mL) had a CV of 6.0-17.7%. Two samples close to the assay cut-off (33.3-52.5 U/mL) had a CV of 7.8-14.5%.
b. **Linearity/assay reportable range:**
Three positive sera were diluted serially from neat, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, and 1:16 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 25 units/mL to 1600 units/mL.
c. **Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):**
There is no reference standard for anti-CCP. The calibrators and controls (positive and negative) are prepared in-house and arbitrary units are assigned during the development process.
d. **Detection limit:**
The detection limit was determined by running the zero standard fourteen times on three different lots. The detection limit of 1.6 Units/mL was calculated by finding the mean plus two standard deviations.
e. **Analytical specificity:**
**Interference study:** Three low positive samples were spiked with bilirubin at 0.2 mg/mL, haemoglobin at 400 mg/dL, lipid at 15 mg/mL and rheumatoid factor at 200 IU/mL. The data indicates that these interferences at the assayed concentrations do not interfere with the anti-CCP results.
f. **Assay cut-off:**
The cut-off value of >25 U/mL was established based on testing of 63 normal blood donor sera, 167 non-RA sera and 219 RA sera. With this cut-off value, 62 normal donor sera (98.4%), 165 non-RA sera (98.8%) and 17 RA sera (7.8%) were negative.
### 2. Comparison studies:
a. **Method comparison with predicate device:**
Testing was performed on 320 samples which included 175 samples from RA patients and 145 samples from normal blood donors. The positive percent agreement was 99.3% (135/136); the negative percent agreement was 96.7% (178/184) and the Overall Agreement was 97.8% (313/320).
