Device Story
EliA SymphonyS is an automated in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for detecting antinuclear IgG antibodies. Input: human serum or plasma (Li-heparin, EDTA). Principle: wells coated with recombinant U1RNP, SS-A/Ro, SS-B/La, Centromere B, Scl-70, Jo-1 proteins, and synthetic SmD3 peptide. Patient antibodies bind to antigens; non-bound antibodies washed away; enzyme-labeled anti-IgG conjugate added; development solution added; fluorescence measured. Output: qualitative ratio compared to calibrators. Used in clinical laboratories on Phadia 250 or Phadia 2500/5000 instruments. Healthcare providers use results as an aid in diagnosing systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) alongside clinical findings. Benefits: standardized, automated screening for multiple autoantibodies simultaneously.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated using 444 serum samples (194 SARD, 250 differential diagnosis controls). Sensitivity ranged from 52.6% to 55.2% and specificity from 94.4% to 94.8% depending on treatment of equivocal results. Analytical performance included precision/reproducibility studies across multiple instruments and lots, and interference testing (endogenous/exogenous).
Technological Characteristics
Solid-phase fluoroimmunoassay; polystyrene wells coated with recombinant proteins and synthetic peptide; beta-galactosidase labeled anti-human IgG conjugate; 4-Methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-galactoside (MUG) substrate; automated processing on Phadia 250/2500/5000 platforms; qualitative output via fluorometric measurement.
Indications for Use
Indicated for in vitro, qualitative measurement of antinuclear IgG antibodies in human serum/plasma (Li-heparin, EDTA) to aid clinical diagnosis of SLE, MCTD, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, and polymyositis/dermatomyositis in conjunction with other findings.
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).

### EliA Symphony® – Differences to predicate device
### K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
CLSI EP07_ED3, Interference in Clinical Chemistry, April 2018
### L. Test Principle:
The EliA wells are molded cups comparable to excised wells from a microtiter plate. They are made of polystyrene and are coated with the respective antigen. The wells are at the same time a holder of the coupled antigen for convenient automation and a reaction chamber with reaction/washing solution handling based on pipetting to add and aspiration to remove liquids.
The specific antigen for the antibodies to be detected is bound to the EliA solid phase component (EliA Well).
| Test | Antigen coated to the wells |
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| EliA Symphonys | human recombinant U1RNP (RNP70, A, C) proteins<br>human recombinant SS-A/Ro (60 kDa, 52 kDa) proteins<br>human recombinant SS-B/La protein<br>human recombinant Centromere B protein<br>human recombinant Scl-70 protein<br>human recombinant Jo-1 protein<br>synthetic SmD3 peptide |
{8}------------------------------------------------
If present in the patient's specimen, antibodies to these proteins bind to their specific antigen. After washing away non-bound antibodies, enzyme-labeled antibodies against human IgG antibodies (EliA IgG Conjugate) are added to form an antibodyconjugate complex. After incubation, non-bound conjugate is washed away and the bound complex is incubated with a Development Solution. After stopping the reaction, the fluorescence in the reaction mixture is measured. The assay directly measures the amount of antibody of interest bound to the antigen coating the EliA well, therefore the higher the value of fluorescent signal detected by the instrument, the higher the amount of antibody bound and detected in the sample tested. To evaluate test results, the response for patient samples is compared directly to the response for calibrators.

#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable for a qualitative Screening assay
Hook Effect/Outside the Range Results:
n.a.
The reportable range as shown on the laboratory reports (instrument print-outs) is from 0.09 to 60 Ratio.
Results below 0.09 Ratio are reported as "below" and evaluated as "negative", results above 60 Ratio are reported as "above" and evaluated as "positive".
- c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): Traceability:
The IgG calibrators are traceable (via unbroken chain of calibrations) to the International Reference Preparation (IRP) 67/86 of Human Serum Immunoglobulins A, G and M from WHO. New batches of IgG calibrators are compared to a secondary standard (standardized with the IRP) or the IRP directly and adjusted accordingly to meet the correct concentration.
The instrument measures specific IgG concentrations in µg/L. By using a conversion factor given by the lot-specific code of the EliA™ test well, the results are automatically converted to Ratio.
{10}------------------------------------------------
#### Stability:
Data for Open and closed real-time stability and Onboard stability of EliA lgG reagents and general EliA reagents on Phadia 250 and Phadia 2500/5000 instrument were already cleared with several other EliA tests, e.g. under k141375 (EliA M2 on PH250). For Phadia 2500/5000 instrument, they were already cleared under k061165/A003 (EliA CCP).
#### Shelf life:
The stability of EliA SymphonyS Wells was evaluated with both, a real-time and accelerated/stress study. The results support stability of the test under the recommended storage of 2 - 8°C for up to 18 months.
#### Onboard stability:
The onboard stability EliA Symphony® carriers (containing the antigen coated wells) was tested over 4 weeks using 3 positive and 2 negative samples only on the Phadia 250 instrument. As the storage conditions in the Phadia 2500/5000 instrument are similar, the results can also be used for stability claims for the Phadia 2500/5000. The onboard stability for the Phadia 250 instrument was determined to be 28 days at 2-8°C.
#### Open Stability:
Stability after first opening of the foilbag containing the EliA SymphonyS wells was tested and determined to be 9 months at 2-8°C.
- d. Detection limit:
N/A for a qualitative test
#### e. Analytical specificity:
Endogenous Interference: A study was run to investigate whether high concentrations of potentially interfering substances in serum, like bilirubin, hemoqlobin, lipemic factor and rheumatoid factor adversely affect the results of the new device. Three serum samples were prediluted in EliA Sample Diluent and spiked with the different interfering substances or their respective blank solutions, and analyzed in triplicates. A calibration curve was run in duplicate. The runs were repeated twice. One batch of EliA antigen wells and one batch of system reagents were used throughout the studies.
One neqative sample, one sample with a concentration around the cut-off and one high positive sample were tested. The ratio of blank/spiked sample ranged from 0.88 - 1.16 for EliA SymphonyS. No interference was observed up to the concentrations listed in the table below:

Exogenous Interference: In addition, interference by five selected exogenous substances was evaluated according to CLSI Guideline EP07-3rd Edition. The same study protocol as described above was used to analyze interference of a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (Ibuprofen), an oral steroid (Prednisone), an anti-malarial drug (Hydroxychloroquine), a diseasemodifying anti-rheumatic drug (Azathioprine), an anti-hypertensive agent (Losartan) and a rheumatologic biologic (Infliximab) in serum samples. The concentration of the substances are based on CLSI Guideline EP37 1st Edition.
One negative sample, one sample with a concentration around the cut-off and one high positive sample were tested. The ratio of blank/spiked sample ranged from 0.83 – 1.13 for EliA Symphony®. No interference was observed up to the concentrations listed in the table below:

Evaluation of AMLI sera on EliA SymphonyS:
The targets were met for AMLI Consensus Reference Panel, except for two serum samples (AMLI 3 and 6). Both samples showed negative results, while the target is positive. The defined targets could not be met by any single semi-quantitative EliA test nor by competitor screening assays. Therefore, the targets defined by AMLI could not be confirmed.
Carry-over: A study was carried out on a Phadia 250 instrument using the test EliA Ro. cleared under k082759. A serum sample was diluted 1:2 and 1:20 using instrument dilution and manual dilution. A lower dilution factor than the default one (1:100) was chosen to challenge the system. Only a few RUs difference compared to the reference pipetting could be seen, which is too low to be expressed in U/mL. The observed carry over effect is therefore negligible without any influence to assay results.
Phadia 2500/5000 instruments use disposable tips for pipetting samples and a separate pipette for the conjugate, therefore carry-over from samples to conjugate is impossible.
{14}------------------------------------------------
- f. Assay cut-off:
A study was performed on 70 apparently healthy blood donor samples from Caucasian individuals equally distributed by sex and age in order to evaluate expected values for EliA Symphony® in the normal population and to confirm the defined cut-off. The samples were measured on the Phadia 250 instrument. The 95th percentile was taken into account for setting the cut-off. Additionally, 30 ANA positive samples with known reactivities against all antigens contained in EliA Symphony® were tested and should be found positive with the proposed test evaluation.
The following values were selected for the cut-off:
| EliA SymphonyS | |
|-----------------|-----------|
| <0.7 Ratio | Negative |
| 0.7 - 1.0 Ratio | Equivocal |
| >1.0 Ratio | Positive |
In case of equivocal results, it is recommended to retest the patient after 8-12 weeks.
In the case of a positive result, it is suggested that further confirmatory testing on individual antigen(s) be performed.

#### b. Matrix comparison:
Serum, lithium heparin plasma and EDTA plasma were collected from the same patients (n = 62) to demonstrate that the plasma results do not deviate from the corresponding serum results and are within the pre-defined specifications. Samples were spiked with a serum sample of high antibody titer to generate a range of reactivity. Samples were tested in duplicates. Passing & Bablok regression plots were generated using the first replicate only and by plotting the concentration observed from the control tube (serum) versus the concentration for each test collection tube. The corresponding slopes of regression and coefficient determination are summarized in the tables below:
| | Range<br>tested<br>[Ratio] | Slope<br>(95% CI) | Intercept<br>(95% CI) | R2 |

#### c. Instrument comparison
Performance of EliA SymphonyS was evaluated on the Phadia 250 and Phadia 2500/5000 instruments using 81 positive, 10 equivocal and 19 negative samples. The samples were analyzed in single replicates on one Phadia 250 and one Phadia 2500/5000 instrument giving a total of two measurements per sample. The regression analysis results are summarized as follows:
| | Intercept | Slope | R |

#### b. Other clinical supportive data: Not applicable
Clinical cut-off: 4.
Same as assay cut-off
#### 5. Expected values/Reference range:
Antibody prevalence in autoimmune patients varies widely depending on disease area. The proportion of sera from a normal population found positive for the antinuclear antibodies covered by the EliA Symphony® test is below 1%. Expected values may vary depending on the population tested.
The frequency distribution for antinuclear antibodies was investigated in a group of apparently healthy subjects equally distributed by age and gender, using sera from Caucasian, African American, Hispanic and Asian population obtained from a blood bank.
The results are given in the table below:
| Test | n = | Range<br>Min-Max<br>(Ratio) | No. of<br>pos./<br>equivocal<br>results | Median<br>(Ratio) | Mean<br>(Ratio) | 95th<br>percentile | 99th<br>percentile |
|----------------|-----|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-------------------|-----------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| EliA Symphonys | 558 | 0.0 – 25.9 | 7 / 5 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 1.1 |
#### N. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
#### O. Conclusion:
