Indications for Use
The LIAISON® HAV IgM assay is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HAV) in human serum and plasma (sodium citrate, potassium EDTA, lithium and sodium heparin, and citrate dextrose (ACD)) using the LIAISON® Analyzer. Assay results, in conjunction with other serological and clinical information, may be used for testing specimens from individuals who have signs and symptoms consistent with acute hepatitis as an aid in the laboratory diagnosis of acute or recent HAV infection. This assay is not intended for screening blood or soft tissue donors. Assay performance characteristics have not been established for immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. The user is responsible for establishing their own assay performance characteristics in these populations. The LIAISON® Control HAV IgM (negative and positive) are intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® HAV IgM assay.
Device Story
LIAISON® HAV IgM is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for qualitative detection of IgM anti-HAV in human serum/plasma. Device uses magnetic particles coated with mouse monoclonal anti-human IgM and mouse monoclonal anti-HAV antibody conjugated to an isoluminol derivative. Process: 1) IgM antibodies in sample bind to solid phase; 2) Antibody conjugate reacts with added HAV antigen and bound IgM; 3) Unbound material washed; 4) Starter reagents added to induce flash chemiluminescence. Photomultiplier measures light signal (RLU) proportional to anti-HAV IgM concentration. Used in clinical laboratories on LIAISON® Analyzer. Results interpreted by clinicians alongside other serological/clinical data to diagnose acute/recent HAV infection. Benefits include rapid, automated detection of acute HAV infection.
Clinical Evidence
Cut-off verification study using 380 serum specimens: 121 prospective adult samples, 121 prospective pediatric samples (8 months to 20 years), and 138 retrospective acute HAV infection samples. Compared against predicate ETI-HA-IGMK Plus. Results: 100% negative percent agreement in prospective cohorts; 100% positive percent agreement in acute infection cohort. Seroconversion panel testing (n=5) showed equivalent detection timing to predicate. No clinical sensitivity/specificity study performed as this is a modification to a cleared device.
Technological Characteristics
Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA). Solid phase: magnetic particles coated with mouse monoclonal anti-human IgM. Conjugate: mouse monoclonal anti-HAV antibody linked to isoluminol derivative. Energy source: LIAISON® Analyzer (photomultiplier detection). Sample types: serum, SST, sodium citrate, potassium EDTA, lithium/sodium heparin, ACD plasma. Connectivity: LIAISON® Analyzer. Software: Automated analysis of RLU signals.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgM anti-HAV in human serum/plasma to aid diagnosis of acute/recent HAV infection in individuals with signs/symptoms of acute hepatitis. Not for donor screening. Performance not established for immunocompromised/immunosuppressed patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
HAV serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera for the detection of hepatitis A virus-specific IgM, IgG, or total antibodies (IgM and IgG), in human serum or plasma. These devices are used for testing specimens from individuals who have signs and symptoms consistent with acute hepatitis to determine if an individual has been previously infected with HAV, or as an aid to identify HAV-susceptible individuals. The detection of these antibodies aids in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of an acute or past infection by HAV in conjunction with other clinical laboratory findings. These devices are not intended for screening blood or solid or soft tissue donors.

L. Test Principle:
The LIAISON® HAV IgM assay is an antibody capture chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with IgG to human IgM (mouse monoclonal) and a conjugate of a mouse monoclonal antibody to HAV linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, IgM antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. After a wash step, HAV antigen and conjugate are dispensed into the reaction module and incubated. During this second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with HAV antigen and the immune complex thus formed reacts with IgM already bound to the solid phase. Unbound material is then removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of anti-HAV IgM present in calibrators, samples or controls.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
REPRODUCIBILITY STUDY:
A 5 day reproducibility study was conducted at 3 external laboratories. The CLSI document EP15-A3 was consulted in the preparation of the testing protocol. A coded panel comprised of 6 frozen serum samples was prepared by DiaSorin. The coded panel was prepared by either spiking or diluting samples as necessary to contain negative, low positive and mid positive samples.
The coded panel was tested at all 3 sites, using 3 replicates per run in 2 runs per day for 5 operating days. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens for each of the sites and across sites.
The LIAISON® Control HAV IgM (negative and positive) were also included in the 5 day study. The LIAISON® HAV IgM Negative Control as well as negative panel sample (HAVM-P00) read below the detectable limit of the curve (0.10); therefore, standard deviation (SD) and %CV were calculated using the Relative Light Units (RLUs) for these two samples.
{5}
The results from the reproducibility study are summarized in Table 4 below (combined sites). The mean Index value, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens for intra- run, run to run, between site, and total across sites.

## PRECISION STUDY:
A 20 day precision study was performed at DiaSorin, Inc. A coded panel comprised of 6 frozen serum samples was prepared by DiaSorin. The coded panel was prepared by either spiking or diluting samples as necessary to contain negative, low positive and mid positive samples. The controls of the LIAISON® Control HAV IgM (negative and positive) were also tested in the 20-day study. The CLSI document EP5-A3 was consulted in the preparation of the testing protocol.
The panel samples and kit controls were tested on 2 LIAISON® HAV IgM kit lots in 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day for 20 operating days on one LIAISON® Analyzer. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens.
The 20-day combined 2 lot results are summarized in Table 5 as sample overall mean result, SD, and %CV computed for Between-Lot/Within-Site and Total (Across Lots Within-Site).

# d. Detection limit:
This device is for the qualitative detection of HAV IgM antibody and contains an equivocal zone. The detection limit is therefore not applicable.
# e. Analytical specificity:
# Cross Reactivity:
The cross-reactivity panel was comprised of 251 specimens to evaluate potential interference from antibodies to other viruses that may cause symptoms similar to HAV infection (i.e., EBV, CMV, Rubella, HBV, HCV), other organisms that may cause infectious disease (i.e., VZV, HSV, Measles, Mumps, Toxoplasma gondii) and from other conditions that may result from atypical immune system activity (i.e., rheumatoid factor (RF), antinuclear autoantibodies (ANA), hyper $\gamma$ -globulins). The cross-reactivity experiments were conducted at DiaSorin. The IgM anti-HAV serological status of the sample panels was determined using the DiaSorin ETI-HAIgMK PLUS (P890014) FDA approved kit as the reference. The serological reactivity for the potential cross-reactant was confirmed using various commercially available FDA cleared/approved kits (when applicable). The results obtained are summarized in Table 7 below. No cross-reactivity was noted in the specimens tested.

# Interference:
The potential interference of each of the following substances at the indicated concentration (indicated in the table below) was tested on three samples close to the decision point. For each of the interfering substance, the three samples were divided into equal aliquots, and spiked with the indicated concentration of the interfering substance. The matched spiked and unspiked samples were tested in the same run, on one instrument with one LIAISON® HAV IgM kit lot in twenty-six replicates each, alternating the replicates of the two samples. The results are indicated in Table 8 below. No interference was observed from the potentially interfering substances at the tested concentration.

# f. Assay cut-off:
The cut-off values for the modified LIASON® HAV IgM assay were set at Index values of $< 0.9$ (Negative) $\geq 1.1$ (Reactive), i.e., the same cut-off Index values as used for the LIAISON® HAV IgM cleared under K082050. There is an equivocal zone for index values $\geq 0.90$ and $< 1.10$ . The cut-off values were validated in the clinical study.
# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
See Clinical Study Section below (Section 3).
# b. Matrix comparison:
Sample sets of matched serum and multiple types of plasma were used in the matrix comparison study to demonstrate the equivalence of different sample matrices. Forty (40) matched samples were assayed for each comparison. The samples were collected as serum, serum in serum separator tubes (SST), and plasma in the following anticoagulants: Sodium Citrate, Potassium EDTA, Lithium and Sodium heparin and Citrate Dextrose (ACD). The serum specimen in the set
{10}
was taken as the reference for the purposes of comparison. Samples belonging to each set were tested in triplicate with one LIAISON® HAV IgM reagent lot on one instrument in a single run. The results from the SST tube and all plasma samples were compared to serum by Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis. All slopes were between 0.90-1.10, and the bias was within ± 10%. Human serum, SST serum, Sodium Citrate Plasma, Potassium EDTA Plasma, Lithium Heparin Plasma, Sodium Heparin Plasma, or ACD Plasma are acceptable sample types for use in the LIAISON® HAV IgM assay.

## Verification of Cut-off Values:
The cut-off values for the LIAISON® HAV IgM assay (K082050) are set at Index values of 0.9 and 1.1. There is an Equivocal Zone for samples giving Index values ≥ 0.9 and < 1.1. A cut-off study was carried out to verify that the cut-off values for the K082050 assay apply also to the modified LIAISON® HAV IgM assay (K160650). A total of 380 serum specimens were tested with the LIAISON® HAV IgM assay in the cut-off verification study and the results were compared to those obtained with the DiaSorin ETI-HA-IGMK Plus assay (P890014/S002). Testing included the following three sets of specimens:
i. 121 adult patient samples sent to the laboratory for HAV testing (prospectively collected specimens).
ii. 121 samples from a pediatric population (prospectively collected specimens).
iii. 138 samples from patients with an acute HAV infection (retrospective, archived specimens).
The results for each set of specimens are presented separately below.
i. Adult Prospectively Collected Specimens.
The specimens were prospectively collected from adults in the United States. The 121 individuals from the HAV testing population were 66.1% female (n=80), ranging in age from 21 to 90, and 33.9% male (n=41) ranging in age from 21 to 80. Table 9 shows the comparison of the LIAISON® HAV IgM to the ETI-HA-IGMK PLUS for these specimens.
