Indications for Use
The LIAISON® Anti-HAV assay is an in vitro chemiluminescent immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of total antibodies to hepatitis A (anti-HAV) in human serum and sodium heparin plasma samples using the LIAISON® Analyzer family. The assay is indicated as an aid in the laboratory diagnosis of current or previous HAV infections in conjunction with other serological and clinical information and to determine the presence of an antibody response to HAV in vaccine recipients. This assay is not intended for screening blood or solid or soft tissue donors.
Device Story
LIAISON® Anti-HAV is a competitive sandwich chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for qualitative detection of total anti-HAV antibodies. Input: human serum or sodium heparin plasma samples. Operation: magnetic particle solid phase coated with IgG anti-HAV; mouse monoclonal anti-HAV antibody conjugate linked to isoluminol derivative. Competitive binding occurs between specimen anti-HAV and conjugate for fixed HAV antigen. Light signal (RLU) measured by photomultiplier is inversely proportional to anti-HAV concentration. Used in professional clinical laboratories; operated by trained personnel. Output: qualitative anti-HAV status. Clinical decision-making: aids diagnosis of current/previous HAV infection and assessment of vaccine response. Modification (K210272) involves hardware/fluidic changes to LIAISON® XS Analyzer: external 10L canisters for Wash Buffer and System Liquid, removal of deionized water tank, and updated software/firmware to manage new fluidic layout and improve reagent pipettor reliability.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design control activities, risk analysis, and verification/validation of hardware and software modifications demonstrating that fundamental scientific technology remains unchanged.
Technological Characteristics
Microchemistry analyzer for clinical use; utilizes chemiluminescence or similar immunoassay detection principles (implied by LIAISON platform). Hardware and software components modified; system remains consistent with previously cleared LIAISON XS Analyzer technology. Connectivity and operational specifications unchanged.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of total anti-HAV antibodies in human serum and sodium heparin plasma. Used as an aid in laboratory diagnosis of current or previous HAV infection and to determine antibody response in vaccine recipients. Not for screening blood, solid, or soft tissue donors.
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.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is “Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Hepatitis A Virus Serological Assays.” See § 866.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
