The assay may be read visually or with an ELISA reader. This IVD assay is intended to be used with stools that are fresh, frozen or preserved in 10% formalin, SAF or Medical Chemical Corporation's (MCC) Universal fixative. Concentrated samples cannot be used with this IVD. ## Device Story Microwell ELISA kit for qualitative detection of Cryptosporidium antigen in human stool. Input: fecal samples (fresh, frozen, or fixed). Principle: rabbit anti-Cryptosporidium antibody captures antigen; goat anti-Cryptosporidium antibody sandwiches captured antigen; peroxidase-conjugated anti-second antibody and TMB chromogen produce blue color indicating presence of antigen. Output: visual color change or optical density reading via ELISA reader. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results aid healthcare providers in diagnosing cryptosporidiosis. Benefits: provides rapid, sensitive detection of Cryptosporidium species compared to traditional O&P microscopy. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing and clinical evaluation performed. Study 1 (n=174): 100% sensitivity (24/24), 97% specificity (146/150). Study 2 (n=44): 100% positive agreement (14/14), 100% negative agreement (30/30). Analytical sensitivity: ~50 ng/mL soluble protein or 10 oocysts/well. No cross-reactivity observed with 30+ common enteric parasites, bacteria, or viruses. ## Technological Characteristics Microwell ELISA format. Uses rabbit anti-Cryptosporidium capture antibody and goat anti-Cryptosporidium detection antibody. Peroxidase/TMB chromogen indicator system. Compatible with ELISA reader or visual interpretation. Analytical sensitivity: 10 oocysts/well. ## Regulatory Identification Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Entamoeba histolytica in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Entamoeba histolytica directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of amebiasis caused by the microscopic protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by this parasite. The parasite may invade the skin, liver, intestines, lungs, and diaphragm, causing disease conditions such as indolent ulcers, an amebic hepatitis, amebic dysentery, and pulmonary lesions. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9. ## Predicate Devices - LMD Laboratories' Cryptosporidium Antigen Detection ELISA ([K955345](/device/K955345.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Tel: 760-929-7744 Contact: Dave Lambillotte, President | |------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Prepared: | 12 May 2003 | Common name: Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit Proprietary name: IVD Research's Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit Classification name: Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents Predicate Device: LMD Laboratories' Cryptosporidium Antigen Detection ELISA, 510(k) K955345 # DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLE: This microwell enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA) detection kit (Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit) is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay for the detection of antigen to Cryptosporidium species in human feces using peroxidase as the indicator enzyme. The assay may be read visually or with an ELISA reader. Concentrated fecal samples cannot be used with this immunoassay. Rather, this IVD Cryptosporidium ELISA Kit is intended to be used with human stools that are fresh, frozen or preserved in 10% formalin, SAF or Medical Chemical Corporation's (MCC's) Universal fixative in a clinical laboratory use setting. ## This ELISA corresponds to FDA Classification Name: Entamoeba Histolytica Serological Reagent, a class II (non-exempt) Device, within the Microbiology Classification Panel, having FDA Reg. Citation Number: 21 CFR 866.3220, and FDA Product Codes: MHJ. This ELISA is an in vitro immunoassay for the qualitative determination of Cryptosporidium species antigen in feces. The ELISA uses a rabbit anti-Cryptosporidium antibody to capture the antigen from the stool supernatant. A second goat anti-Cryptosporidium antibody is then added which sandwiches the captured antigen. This reaction is visualized by the addition of an anti-second antibody conjugated to peroxidase and the chromogen tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The resulting blue color development indicates the presence of Cryptosporidium species antigens being bound by the anti-Cryptosporidium antibodies. ## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON A similar ELISA kit was developed and manufactured by LMD Laboratories (San Diego, CA). The FDA cleared this assay under 510(k) K955345 in 7 June 1996. This current kit uses the same methodology (ELISA) and similar reagents as that cleared predicate assay. Following is the data that shows this firm's ELISA provides substantial equivalence to the gold standard for parasitology (O&P microscopy) as well as the predicate device. The 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was determined using a Confidence Interval Analysis Microcomputer Program published by the British Medical Journal. All specimens are human samples supplied by clinical laboratories or in-house collections. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### Study #1 (Outside Lab) A total of 174 formalin, SAF, fresh/frozen and Universal Fixative preserved stools were tested against the ELISA test The results were interpreted visually. The following results were obtained. | | Micro + (O&P) | Micro - (O&P) | |----------------------|---------------|---------------| | IVD
ELISA + | 24 | 4 | | IVD
ELISA - | 0 | 146 | | 95% CI = 86% to 100% | | | Sensitivity: 100% (24/24) Specificity: 97% (146/150) 95% CI = 93% to 99% No cross-reactions were seen with the following organisms: Entamoeba hartmanni, Endolimax nana, Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, Entamoeba coli, Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Chilomastix mesnili, Giardia lamblia, Cyclospora cayetanensis oocysts, Strongyloides stercoralis, Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), Diphyllobothrium species, Hymenolepis nana, Clonorchis sinensis, Enteromonas hominis, Trichuris trichiura, Iodamoeba buetschlii, Hookworm (Necator americanus), Schistosoma mansoni, Taenia eggs, Isospora belli, Entamoeba polecki, adenovirus, E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia and 29 other bacterial species (list available on request). #### Study #2 (Manufacturer Performed) A total of 44 fresh or fresh/frozen stools examined by O&P microscopy and/or another commercial ELISA were tested against this IVD ELISA. The following results were obtained. | | ELISA | ELISA | |----------------|-------|-------| | IVD
ELISA + | 14 | 0 | | IVD
ELISA - | 0 | 30 | Positive Agreement = 100% (14/14) Negative Agreement = 100% (30/30) The breakdown for the samples in the studies is as follows: | Media | Cryptosporidium + | Other Parasites | |--------------|-------------------|-----------------| | Fresh/Frozen | 14 | 0 | | 10% Formalin | 24 | 25 | | SAF | 1 | 83 | | MCC | 2* | 31 | *These two samples were seeded samples. #### Analytical Sensitivity This assay can detect approximately 50 nanograms of soluble protein per ml of Cryptosporidium species antigen or 10 oocysts per well. At these detection levels, an OD range of 0.15 to 0.30 can be expected. ### CONCLUSION IVD Research's Cryptosporidium Human Fecal Antigen Detection Microwell ELISA Kit uses similar methodology to the predicate device. In testing of various fecal specimens, the assay also showed equivalent sensitivity and specificity to the predicate device and O&P microscopy. {2}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
