## Intended Use
The Trinity Biotech Captia™ Borrelia burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of total (IgG/IgM) antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. This ELISA should only be used for patients with signs and symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Equivocal or positive results must be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results are supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
## Device Story
ELISA kit for qualitative detection of total (IgG/IgM) antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum; utilizes microassay plate coated with B. burgdorferi (strain B-31) antigen. Patient serum incubated in wells; antigen-specific antibodies bind to solid-phase antigen. After washing, goat anti-human IgG conjugated with horseradish peroxidase added; binds to antigen-antibody complexes. TMB substrate added; enzymatic reaction produces color proportional to antibody concentration. Reaction stopped with sulfuric acid; absorbance measured at 450 nm via spectrophotometer. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results provide presumptive evidence of exposure; must be confirmed by standardized Western blot. Supports clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease when combined with patient history, signs, and symptoms.
## Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated using a CDC serum panel (n=47) and a clinical study of fresh patient sera (n=176). CDC panel results showed 71% agreement with clinical diagnosis. Clinical study compared device to BioWhittaker Lyme STAT; 1-step positive/equivocal results were 9.1% for Trinity vs 7.4% for predicate. Precision testing (n=810 determinations) showed inter-assay CVs generally <15% for most samples. Cross-reactivity testing performed against various conditions (lipemic, bilirubinemic, RPR+, RF+, EBV+, CMV+, RMS+, elevated ESR, CRP, dsDNA+).
## Technological Characteristics
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) utilizing purified B. burgdorferi antigen immobilized on solid-phase microtiter wells. Detection via enzyme-labeled anti-human IgG/IgM conjugate and substrate-induced colorimetric reaction. Photometric measurement of optical density. Manual or automated microplate reader required. No specific materials or connectivity standards provided.
## Regulatory Identification
Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), the Treponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies to Treponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Treponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.

II. Description of Device
burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA kit is an The Borrelia Enzyme-Linked ImmunosorbentAssay (ELISA) for the qualitative presumptive detection of total (IgG/IgM) antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. This ELISA should only be used for patients with signs and patients with symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Equivocal or positive results should be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results are supportive evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
The Borrelia burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA test is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assav to detect IgG/IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Purified Borrelia burgdorferi antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Diluted test sera is added to each well. If the antibodies are present that recognize the antigen, they will bind to the antigen in the well. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled anti-human IgG/IgM is added to each well. If antibody is present, it will bind to the antibody attached to the antigen on the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is added to each well. If enzyme is present. the substrate will undergo a color change. After an incubation period the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically, producing and indirect measurement of specific antibody in the patient specimen.
III. Predicate Device
The Borrelia burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA test is substantially equivalent to BioWhittaker's Lyme STAT test. Equivalence is demonstrated by the following comparative results:

### The CDC Lyme Disease Serum Panel Stratified by Time After Onset
The following information is from a serum panel obtained from the CDC and tested by Trinity Biotech. The results are presented as a means to convey further information on the performance of this assay with a masked, characterized serum panel. This does not imply an endorsement of the assay by the CDC.

Table 1 Trinity Biotech B. burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA Results
Because the equivocals would have been tested by immunoblotting in a 2-step test system, they were considered 1-step positive for purposes of calculating % agreement. The Trinity Bitoech Borrelia burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA demonstrated 71% (30/42) agreement with clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.
#### Study 2
One hundred seventy-six fresh sera from patients of various ages and genders that were submitted to a large clinical lab for B. burgdorferi antibody testing were tested on the Trinity Biotech B. burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA and BioWhittaker Lyme Stat. Any serum found positive or equivocal was tested by Mardx Diagnostics Western Blot on both IgG and IgM. The results are illustrated in Table 2.

#### Precision
Seven sera were assayed ten times each on three different plates at three different sites. An additional three sera were assayed ten times each on three different plates at two different sites. The intersite precision is shown in Table 3. With appropriate technique the user should obtain precision of <15% CV.
