Indications for Use
The EUROIMMUN Anti-HSV-1 ELISA (IgG) is intended for the qualitative determination of IgG class antibodies against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) specific glycoprotein C1 in human serum. It is intended for the presumptive diagnosis of type specific HSV-1 infection with EUROIMMUN Anti-HSV-2 EUSA (IgG) in persons suspected of herpes viral infection. The EUROIMMUN Anti-HSV-2 ELISA (IgG) is intended for the qualitative determination of IgG class antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) specific glycoprotein G2 in human serum. It is intended for the presumptive diagnosis of type specific HSV-2 infection with EUROIMMUN Anti-HSV-1 EUSA (lgG) in persons suspected of herpes viral infection.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic ELISA kits for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2; utilizes human serum samples; detects specific viral glycoproteins (C1 for HSV-1, G2 for HSV-2); intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel; results aid in presumptive diagnosis of type-specific HSV infection; supports clinical decision-making regarding patient management for suspected herpes viral infections.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated across multiple studies (n=397 for HSV-1; n=421 for HSV-2) using Western blot as reference. HSV-1 sensitivity ranged 98.1-100%; specificity 71.4-100%. HSV-2 sensitivity ranged 94.5-100%; specificity 76.9-100%. Comparison to predicate kits showed high agreement (HSV-1: 96.5% negative, 98.3% positive; HSV-2: 97.4% negative, 93.9% positive). Type specificity confirmed at 97.6% (HSV-1) and 97.0% (HSV-2).
Technological Characteristics

Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 (glycoprotein C1) or HSV-2 (glycoprotein G2) in human serum. Used for presumptive diagnosis of type-specific HSV infection in patients suspected of herpes viral infection.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

I. Device Description:
HSV-1 Assay: The test kit contains microtiter wells coated with affinity purified glycoprotein C1 isolated from HSV-1. In the first reaction step, diluted patient samples, calibrators and controls are incubated in the wells. Anti-HSV-1 antibodies will bind to the antigens coated in the microtiter wells. The wells are washed to remove any unbound proteins and non-specific antibodies. In a second reaction step, rabbit anti-human IgG HRP enzyme conjugate is added to each well. The enzyme conjugate will bind to any wells that have human IgG binding to the HSV-1 antigen. The wells are washed to remove any unbound HRP enzyme conjugate. 3,3,5,5 tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) enzyme substrate is added. If the HRP enzyme is present in the well (positive reaction), the HRP enzyme will react with the TMB substrate and produce a blue color.
HSV-2 Assay: The test kit contains microtiter wells coated with affinity purified
