Regulatory Classification

Identification

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Toxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable): NA

L. Test Principle: The Access Toxo IgG assay is an enzyme immunoassay using an indirect technique. A sample is added to a reaction vessel with paramagnetic particles coated with Toxoplasma gondii membrane antigen. Specific antibodies present in the sample bind to the antigen. After incubation in a reaction vessel, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated monoclonal anti-human IgG antibody is then added and attaches to the IgG antibodies captured on the particles. A second separation and wash step removes unbound conjugate. Then, the chemiluminescent substrate Lumi-Phos* 530 is added to the vessel and light generated by the reaction is measured with a luminometer. The light production is directly proportional to the concentration of Toxo IgG antibody in the sample. The amount of analyte in the sample is determined from a stored, multi-point calibration curve.

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

# 1. Analytical performance:

a. Precision/Reproducibility: Reproducibility/repeatability of the Access Toxo IgG Assay was estimated at one internal (Site 3) and two external sites (Sites 1 and 2). Each site performed one run per day over seven test days. Nine serum samples were run in replicates of five in each run. Combined results for each serum sample from all three sites are presented in the table below. The observed average total $\% \mathrm{CV}$ was $12.6\%$ with daily calibration and $15.3\%$ using a stored calibration.

| | 191.1 | | |

Linearity with High Patient Samples: Four highly reactive sera were diluted from 1/1.5 to 1/32 in Access Toxo IgG Calibrator, S0. These dilutions were tested in quadruplicate and the results were compared to expected values based on the neat sample determination (eight replicates). The mean recovery for the four sera was $100\%$ and ranged from $93.8\%$ to $109.1\%$ .

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

Access Toxo Calibrators(A31589): The Access Toxo calibrators are traceable to the WHO $3^{\mathrm{rd}}$ Internationable Standard Preparation for Anti-Toxoplasma Serum (TOXM) based on EN ISO 17511. The calibrators are provided at six levels- zero(S0), and approximately 10.5 (S1), 50 (S2), 120(S3), 240(S4), and 450(S5) IU/mL. The recommended open use life of the Calibrators is 90 days.

Access Toxo Quality Controls(A31590): There are two controls: 1) QC1- Pooled human defibrinated plasma negative (non-reactive) for anti- $T$ . gondii IgG; 2) QC2-Spiked human defibrinated plasma containing high levels of anti- $T$ . gondii IgG positive (reactive). The target range for QC1 is $< 2$ IU/mL; the target range for QC2 is 20-30 IU/mL. The recommended open use life of the Controls is 90 days.

d. Analytical sensitivity:

(i) Limit of Blank (LoB): The LoB was determined with three serum samples in 60 replicates (level of anti-Toxoplasma IgG approaching $0\mathrm{IU / mL}$ in each serum sample) and one lot of the S0 calibrator with two lots of Access Toxo IgG reagents (P1 and P2). The testing was conducted with one Access and one Access 2 Analyzer. The

{5}

LoB for the Access Toxo IgG is estimated at 0.10 IU/mL.

(ii) Limit of Detection (LoD): Four low level (non-reactive) serum samples were tested in 60 replicates with two reagent lots. The testing was conducted with one Access and one Access 2 Analyzer. The LoD for the Access Toxo IgG is estimated at $0.40\mathrm{IU / mL}$ .

(iii) Limit of Quantitation (LoQ): To estimate the LoQ for the Access Toxo IgG, two samples with established levels of anti-Toxoplasma IgG reactivity was tested over 5 days in one run of 5 replicates per day. The testing was conducted with two reagent lots on a single Access Analyzer. The mean LoQ for the Access Toxo IgG is 3.2 IU/mL.

e. Analytical specificity/Interference: A study was conducted to investigate potential cross-reactivity with immunoglobulins resulting from exposure to other infectious agents that can produce symptoms similar to Toxoplasma infection (CMV, Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2, malaria, measles, rubella VZV, mumps and Treponema). In addition, interference due to heterophilic antibodies (HAMA), abnormal immune system conditions (myeloma, rheumatoid factor, ANA) and influenza vaccine was evaluated. A total of 311 samples were tested. Nine samples $(2.9\%)$ , including HIV, HSV-2 IgG, HAMA, mumps, syphilis) that were non-reactive by another commercially available assay were equivocal or reactive in the Access Toxo IgG Assay. The observed performance with each condition is presented in the following Table:

| Condition | Number tested | Equivocal or Reactive in Access Toxo IgG |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ANA | 14 | 0 |
| CMV IgG | 8 | 0 |
| EBV IgG | 13 | 0 |
| HAV Ab | 10 | 0 |
| HBV (HBsAg) | 11 | 0 |
| HCV Ab | 14 | 0 |
| HIV | 43 | 2 |
| HSV-1 IgG | 3 | 0 |
| HSV-2 IgG | 8 | 2 |
| Malaria | 7 | 0 |
| Measles IgG | 13 | 0 |
| Myeloma IgG | 12 | 0 |
| Rheumatoid Factor | 15 | 0 |
| Rubella IgG | 12 | 0 |
| VZV IgG | 11 | 0 |
| HAMA/Heterophilic Antibody | 20 | 2 |
| Mumps IgG | 65 | 2 |
| Influenza (vaccine recipients) | 23 | 0 |
| Syphilis | 43 | 1 |

The Access Toxo IgG Assay was not significantly affected by the presence of 300 mg/L bilirubin (100 mg/L free + 200 mg/L conjugated), 30 g/L triolein (triglycerides), 90 g/L albumin or 20 g/L hemoglobin.

f. Assay cut-off: The assay cutoff was established by an evaluation of 959 non-reactive and 1091 reactive samples characterized by another enzyme immunoassay method. Cutoff for the Access Toxo IgG assay was determined to be 10.5 IU/mL based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

- All test samples < 7.5 IU/mL are considered non-reactive for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies.
- Sample results ≥ 7.5 IU/mL and < 10.5 IU/mL are considered equivocal for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies.
- All test samples ≥ 10.5 IU/mL are considered reactive for the presence of T. gondii IgG antibodies.

# CDC Toxoplasma 1998 Human Serum Panel

The Access Toxo IgG Assay exhibited 100% positive and negative agreement with the 100-member CDC Toxoplasma 1998 Human Serum Panel.

4. Clinical cut-off: As described in Assay cut-off.

5. Expected values/Reference range: The worldwide prevalence of Toxoplasma infection varies widely, influenced by such factors as environmental conditions, sanitation, dietary practices and companion and farm animal contact. Local prevalence is also influenced by population age and immigration patterns. Published estimates of seroprevalence for selected population in Europe, Asia, Africa and south America range from <5 -90% while a recent study estimate the overall United States prevalence to be approximately 22%.

Due to this substantial variability, it was recommended to establish prevalence expectations based on its own specific patient population.

N. Proposed Labeling:

The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.

O. Conclusion: The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision. The Access Toxo IgG Assay, Calibrators and QC (Part numbers: A31588, A31589, A31590) on the Access Immunoassay Systems are substantially equivalent to the AxSYM Toxo IgG Assay and the Access Toxo IgG Assay, Calibrators and QC (Part numbers: 34450, 34455, 34459) for the quantitative and qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in human serum.
