## Intended Use

The Inanovate Lyme-ID IgG Test is an in vitro qualitative microarray assay for the detection of IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. The assay is intended for testing serum samples from symptomatic patients or those suspected of Lyme Disease. It is intended to detect antibodies to VlsE and multiple other B.burgdorferi antigens following a modified two-tier test methodology. Positive results from the Lyme-ID IgG Test are supportive evidence for the presence of antibodies and exposure to B. burgdorferi, the causative agent for Lyme disease. Negative results do not preclude infection with B. burgdorferi. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient's clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures as an aid in diagnosis of Lyme disease. The Inanovate Lyme-ID IgG Test must be used with Inanovate's Bio-ID800 instrument and Lyme-ID Software.

## Device Story

Lyme-ID IgG Test is a protein microarray assay for detecting IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi in human serum; utilizes Bio-ID800 bench-top analyzer. Input: patient serum samples loaded into microfluidic cartridge containing immobilized antigens (whole cell lysate, OspC, VlsE). Operation: pressure-driven flow of sample and fluorescently labeled detection antibodies through microfluidic channels; optics system (532nm laser) excites fluorescence; PMT converts light to voltage; data acquisition card records signals. Software: controls instrument, processes PMT signals via statistical average function, generates AUC values, and applies logic table to determine positive/negative status. Output: qualitative test result. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Benefits: simplifies modified two-tier testing (MTTT) by combining targets into one assay; provides supportive evidence for Lyme disease diagnosis.

## Clinical Evidence

Prospective clinical study (n=131) and known positive cohort (n=16) compared Lyme-ID IgG to Standard Two-Tiered Testing (STTT). Prospective cohort PPA 96.43% (95% CI: 82.29–99.37%) and NPA 95.15% (95% CI: 89.14–97.91%). CDC Premarket panel (n=280) tested across disease stages; sensitivity ranged from 81.7% (Stage I) to 100% (Stages II/III). Specificity in healthy controls was 100% (endemic) and 92% (non-endemic).

## Technological Characteristics

IV Device/System Characteristics:

A Device Description:

The Lyme-ID IgG Test is a qualitative protein microarray assay design to detect antibodies to *B. burgdorferi*, the causative agent of Lyme disease in the United States. The Lyme-ID IgG Test detects human serum IgG antibodies against *Borrelia burgdorferi* cell lysate, OspC, and VlsE. The Lyme-ID IgG Test runs in the analyzer Bio-ID-800. This system utilizes fluorescent-based reactions and microfluidics to generate and measure signal from multiple analytes located in the Lyme-ID IgG Test. The Bio-ID800 is a benchtop instrument designed to detect analytes using microarrays embedded in a self-contained, multichannel, microfluidics cartridge, which is specific to the Lyme-ID IgG Test. The test system combines two immunoassays into a single Modified Two-Tiered test (MTTT) methodology, giving results using the Longitudinal Assay Screening (LAS) system.

The Bio-ID-800 system utilizes fluorescent-based reactions and microfluidics to generate and measure signal from multiple analytes located in the Lyme-ID IgG Test. The Bio-ID800 is a benchtop instrument designed to detect analytes using microarrays embedded in a self-contained, multichannel, microfluidics cartridge, which is specific to the Lyme-ID IgG Test (see figure 1). Target analyte measurements occur through fluorescence detection in a cyclical process. The

{2}

Bio-ID800 benchtop device is controlled by a PC and assay specific software for hardware control and data analysis.

LAS utilizes multiple cycles of flowing small volumes of sample and fluorescently labeled Detection Reagent across a planar microarray field. The microarray within the microarray field consists of capture spots which interact with the flowing reagent and sample to fluoresce when the Bio-ID800 laser targets the microarray field. Images are collected using the laser, optics, and PMT to capture fluorescence signal from each spot.

Data captured during the cycles are then used by the Lyme-ID software to calculate the increase of signal over time, or LAS curve. The resultant LAS curve is then analyzed by the software to provide values (Area Under the Curve or AUC and  $r^2$ ) representing the presence of target analytes to distinguish between positive, negative, and false positive reactions. The profile of a signal generated by non-specific binding in a test will often differ from the LAS profile of a true signal from a target analyte.

# B Principle of Operation:

Designed as a modified solid-phase ELISA, the Lyme-ID IgG Test is a protein microarray assay. Each microarray contains spots that correspond to a whole cell lysate sample of Borrelia burgdorferi B31 strain in addition to antigens Outer Surface Protein C (OspC) and Variable Lipoprotein Surface-Exposed (VlsE) bound to the glass surface of the Lyme-ID (IgG/IgM) Test cartridge.

A negative control spot, positive control spot, and six signal control spots are applied to each microarray to ensure that the assay performs properly and to verify the validity of individual sample test results (see Figure 1 below). Each cartridge contains eight protein microarrays sufficient to test a total of six patient samples, the positive control, and the negative control (See Figure 2).

During each test, the diluted test serum of each sample is added to one microarray (see Figure 2). If  $B$  burgdorferi specific antibodies are present in the test sample, they will bind to the antigens immobilized on the glass surface. During the next step, fluorescently labelled detection antibodies are flowed across the microarray which recognize  $B$  burgdorferi specific antibodies already bound to the antigens on the glass surface. The fluorescently labelled detection antibodies emit a fluorescent signal detected and measured by the Bio-ID800 instrument. These steps (or cycles) are performed with fluorescent signal measurements collected over a number of timepoints, ultimately generating a curve reflective of the change in fluorescent signal over time. From this curve, an area under the curve (AUC) value and  $r^2$  are calculated providing an indirect measurement of  $B$  burgdorferi specific antibodies present in the patient specimen.

## Interpretation of Results

1. After the completion of the assay, the Lyme-ID software performs an analysis of each antigen spot of each sample (including the LPC and LNC) to determine if the assay ran successfully.
2. For each antigen spot of each sample (including the LPC and LNC), a mean AUC value is calculated from all valid spot replicates.
3. The mean AUC values of the VlsE, OspC, and Cell Lysate antigen spots of the LPC are multiplied by unique Normalization Factors to establish assay specific positive cutoff values.
4. Mean AUC values of the VlsE, OspC, and Cell Lysate antigen spots of each patient specimen are then evaluated against the corresponding positive cutoff values.
5. A sample antigen spot is considered POSITIVE if the AUC value and r² are greater than or equal to the corresponding positive cutoff value.
6. A sample antigen spot is considered NEGATIVE if the AUC value and r² are less than the corresponding positive cutoff value.
7. The results of each antigen spot from each sample are reviewed by the Lyme-ID software against the algorithm described in Table 1 below to determine the reported result.
8. The Reported Result for each patient specimen will be one of the following:
- Positive – Lyme antibodies detected,
- Negative – Lyme antibodies not detected,
- Invalid – Invalid sample / No sample present.

5. Assay Reportable Range: Not Applicable

6. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):

Sample Freeze/Thaw Stability: The stability of antibodies detected by the Lyme ID-IgG test in human serum samples was evaluated after storage at ≤-65°C and following three freeze/thaw cycles. Sixty unique clinical serum samples were included in the study. Thirty samples were confirmed positive, and thirty sample were confirmed negative prior to initiation of the study. All samples were tested fresh at baseline and after one, two, and three freeze/thaw cycles. The study results support testing samples after no more than one freeze/thaw cycle.

Store serum samples between 2-8°C for no longer than 5 days. Specimens may be stored frozen at -20°C (or below) for long term storage, avoiding multiple freeze and thaw cycles.

7. Detection Limit: Not applicable.

8. Assay Cut-Off: The cutoff algorithm for each analyte considers their resultant LAS curve parameters, AUC, and r² values. The absolute assay cutoff for each of the analytes detected by the Lyme-ID IgG Test (Cell Lysate, OspC, and VlsE) was determined by testing 92 samples from the CDC Research Panel II and the Lyme Positive and Negative Controls. The absolute Cutoff value for each analyte represents the AUC value that correlates to the lowest value expected to be obtained from a Lyme Positive sample and the minimum curve r².

# C Clinical Studies:

# 1. Clinical Sensitivity:

The Lyme-ID IgG Test clinical performance was evaluated through a prospective clinical study. A total of 150 serum samples from individuals suspected of having Lyme disease were collected from two clinical sites and distributed between three separate testing sites. Participants included individuals of all ages who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A subset of samples from one of the sites was collected as known positive samples based on testing with another FDA cleared serology test  $(n = 19)$ . Performance for this cohort was calculated separately from the prospective cohort. Comparator testing with an FDA-cleared EIA and immunoblot as part of a Standard Two-Tiered Testing (STTT) methodology was conducted at a reference laboratory. Samples were subsequently blinded and randomized prior to testing with the Lyme-ID IgG Test across three testing locations. In the prospective cohort, a total of 28 Lyme positive samples and 103 Lyme negative samples with the comparator device were included in the Lyme-ID IgG performance calculations. Three out of 19 samples in the known positive cohort were STTT positive only for IgM antibodies and thus excluded from performance calculations  $(n = 16)$ . Table 8 below summarizes the performance of the Lyme-ID IgG Test as Positive Percent Agreement (PPA), Negative Percent Agreement (NPA), and their corresponding two-sided  $95\%$  Confidence Interval (CI) in the prospective sample cohort. Table 9 below summarizes the results observed in the known positive sample cohort.

Table 7: Lyme-ID IgG Test performance in prospectively collected samples

|   | STTT Results (IgG)  |   |   |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |   |  Positive | Negative | Total  |
|  Lyme-ID-IgG Test | Positive | 27 | 5* | 32  |
|   |  Negative | 1 | 98 | 99  |
|   |  Total | 28 | 103 | 131  |
|   | PPA (95% CI) | 96.43% (82.29% – 99.37%)  |   |   |
|   |  NPA (95% CI) | 95.15% (89.14% – 97.91%)  |   |   |

* Three out of five false positive samples with candidate device were STTT positive for anti-B. burgdorferi IgM antibodies.

Additionally, the CDC Premarket panel containing 280 samples was tested with the Lyme-ID IgG Test and the STTT comparator methods. This panel contains samples collected from patients diagnosed with Lyme Disease at different stages (Stages 1, 2, and 3), Lyme disease look-like infections (infectious mononucleosis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and severe periodontitis), and from healthy controls living in endemic and non-endemic regions of Lyme disease. The tables below summarize the results of the Lyme-ID IgG Test when testing the CDC Premarket panel.
