The Sofia 2 Lyme FIA employs immunofluorescence for the rapid differential detection of human IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi from finger-stick whole blood specimens from patients suspected of B. burgdorferi infection of at least 2 weeks' duration. The Sofia 2 Lyme FIA is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of Lyme disease. A negative result does not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. Positive results must be confirmed by testing with a corresponding second-tier B. burgdorferi Western blot assay. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient's clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures. The assay is to be performed on the Sofia 2 instrument. Professional guidelines should be consulted regarding testing and treatment for Lyme disease when acute B. burgdorferi infection is suspected. The Sofia Lyme Control Set is intended for use as assayed quality control materials to verify the performance of the Sofia Lyme FIA and Sofia 2 Lyme FIA test system.
Device Story
Sofia 2 Lyme FIA is an immunofluorescence-based lateral flow assay for qualitative detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Input: finger-stick whole blood collected via capillary tube (whole blood separator). Process: blood flows through sample pad coated with rabbit anti-human RBC antibodies; diluted sample added to test cassette; cassette inserted into Sofia 2 instrument. Instrument performs automated analysis of test strip at 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 minutes. Output: qualitative IgM and IgG results displayed on instrument screen or printed. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Benefits: rapid differential detection, early read times via 'Walk Away' mode, and automated interpretation to aid Lyme disease diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated via prospective study of 321 subjects and CDC reference panel. Sensitivity for IgM (all categories) was 64.2% (95% CI: 54.2-73.1%) and for IgG was 80.0% (95% CI: 70.8-86.9%). Specificity study (n=200) showed 89.5% for IgM and 96.5% for IgG. Matrix equivalency confirmed finger-stick whole blood is equivalent to serum/plasma. Comparison to predicate showed comparable PPA/NPA. No interference or cross-reactivity observed with tested substances or disease states.
Technological Characteristics
Immunofluorescence-based lateral flow assay. Uses recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides of B. burgdorferi. Detection via polystyrene microparticles dyed with Europium chelate. Analyte: human IgM and IgG antibodies. Platform: Sofia 2 instrument (automated reader). Connectivity: screen/printer output. Storage: room temperature (15-30°C).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients suspected of Borrelia burgdorferi infection of at least 2 weeks' duration. Used as an aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. Positive results require confirmation via second-tier Western blot assay.
Regulatory Classification
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.

### 5.8. Device Description
The Sofia 2 Lyme FIA is an immunofluorescence-based, lateral flow assay for detection of IgM and/or IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in patient specimens. Reagents for the assay are ready-to-use and provided in the kit.
{1}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image features the logo of Quidel. The logo consists of a square shape divided into two sections. The larger section is a gradient of colors, transitioning from yellow to green to blue to red. The smaller section is a solid dark blue. Below the square is the word "QUIDEL" in a modern, sans-serif font, with a small trademark symbol next to the "L".
The assay uses a bidirectional test strip format to detect both IgM and IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi. One side of the test strip detects IgM antibodies to B. burgdorferi and the other side of the test strip detects IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi.
To perform the test, the patient finger-stick whole blood specimen is obtained with the provided Capillary Tube (a.k.a. whole blood separator device). The Capillary Tube stands or is held vertically to allow the blood to drain. This device separates the red blood cells from the whole blood specimen using a gravimetric flow through a sample pad coated with rabbit anti-human red blood cell (RBC) antibodies. The user dispenses all of the Reagent Solution into the Reagent Tube and inserts the Capillary Tube into the Reagent Tube and shakes the tube vigorously. Two drops of diluted sample are dispensed into the round sample well located near the center of the Test Cassette.
The Test Cassette is loaded into Sofia 2 in either the READ NOW Mode or WALK AWAY Mode. In READ NOW Mode, the user allows the cassette to develop on the countertop for 15 minutes. In WALK AWAY Mode, the user immediately after adding the specimen to the cassette, the cassette is inserted into Sofia 2. Sofia 2 will analyze the test strip at 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 minutes until both IgM and IgG positive results are received. This feature allows for earlier read times.
Each Sofia 2 Lyme FIA kit will contain one Positive and one Negative Control—each provided in separate dropper bottles. The external controls will be provided separately as well in a Sofia Lyme Control Set. The Positive and Negative QC controls are formulated with patient Lyme IgM and IgG positive serum that are diluted into 1X PBS and 0.3% Microcide is added to the solution as an antimicrobial. The External Controls will be tested by adding 2 drops to the test cassette.

### Sofia Lyme FIA with Sofia 2 Reproducibility Study Inter-Laboratory Agreement
#### Assay Cutoff C.
An Assay Cutoff Study was performed to determine and confirm the two separate assay cutoff limits for the Sofia 2 Lyme FIA. One cutoff limit was established for Lyme IgG and one cutoff limit was established for Lyme IgM. The general procedure was to test matched finger-stick whole blood, serum and plasma samples with the aim of setting the whole blood assay cutoff so that the clinical performance, percent positive agreement (PPA) and the percent negative agreement (NPA), of the whole blood assay is statistically similar to the FDA cleared Sofia Lyme FIA serum and plasma assay. After the cutoffs were established, the values were validated as part of the clinical trial as well as other analytical studies
## d. Interference Substances
A study was performed to assess potential interfering substances with the Sofia Lyme FIA with Sofia. There was no interference or cross-reactivity results when tested with the Sofia Lyme FIA.
