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 XS is a fully automated, closed, continuous-loading chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer for professional clinical laboratories. It processes human serum or sodium heparin plasma samples. The system uses magnetic microparticles coated with HAV-specific antibodies and isoluminol-antibody conjugates. In a competitive sandwich immunoassay, patient anti-HAV competes with conjugate for binding sites on HAV antigen; light signal (RLU) measured by a photomultiplier is inversely proportional to anti-HAV concentration. The analyzer automates sample/reagent pipetting, incubation, washing, and signal detection. Results are displayed via an integrated touchscreen interface, aiding clinicians in diagnosing HAV infection or confirming vaccine response. Modifications in this version include internal 5L and 3L canisters for system liquid and wash buffer, updated liquid supply lines, and firmware/software version 1.5.2 to support these hardware changes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. The submission relies on design control activities, risk analysis, and verification/validation testing to demonstrate that modifications to the LIAISON XS analyzer do not affect performance.
Technological Characteristics
Automated immunoassay analyzer (LIAISON XS). Hardware and software modifications implemented. Fundamental scientific technology (chemiluminescence immunoassay) remains unchanged from the predicate. System is designed for laboratory use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of total anti-HAV antibodies in human serum and sodium heparin plasma. Used as an aid in diagnosing current or previous HAV infection and assessing antibody response in vaccine recipients. Not for blood, solid, or soft tissue donor screening.
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.
