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).

- 4. Substrate Buffer: One bottle containing 30 ml of a blue colored buffer solution with sodium azide.
- న్. p-NPP Tablets: One foil pack containing 6 tablets of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP).
- 6. Stopping Reagent: One bottle containing 30 ml of a colorless solution of 1.5 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

7. Positive Control and Negative Control: One vial of each containing 200 ul of serum (human) with sodium azide.

- 8. Reference Serum: One vial containing 400 ul of serum (human) with sodium azide.
- 9. 20X Wash Solution: One bottle containing 60 ml of a green colored solution with detergent and sodium azide.
- ELISA Plate Sealer: One acetate sheet with contact adhesive. 10.
- 11. Resealable Storage Bag: One plastic sealable bag.
- 12. ELISA Worksheet: One worksheet for recording data.

When the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is employed, diluted patient serum is incubated with purified herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein (gG2) bound to the ELISA plate wells. If antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 are present, they bind to the antigen and do not rinse off. Subsequently when enzyme-labeled antihuman IgG is added to the reaction site it binds to the immobilized IgG antibodies. After washing and the addition of a chromogenic substrate and stopping reagent, specimens containing antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 produce a color endpoint reaction which can be read with a standard ELISA plate reader.

# TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE:

The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and the HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test both are technologically based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE PERFORMANCE DATA:

Seven hundred fifty six serum samples prospectively collected from unduplicated individuals attending two STD Clinics in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for type specific IgG antibody to HSV-2. Western Blot results were based on initial testing with the exception of specimens with initial atypical results which were reanalyzed. These repeat Western Blot results were used for patients returning for repeat analysis. Patients not returning for repeat testing were presumed to be negative. Specimens initially reported as equivocal with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were retested with the second test result used. The relative agreement between the two methods was 93.1% (704/756). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 80.5% (182/226) with a 95% confidence interval of 74.1%-85.7% and 98.5% (522/530) with a 95% confidence interval of 96.9%-99.3% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 95.8% (182/190) with a 95% confidence interval of 91.6%-98.0% and 92.2% (522/566) and a 95% confidence interval of 89.6%-94.2% respectively.

Frozen samples of sequential sera from 193 patients were submitted to a clinical laboratory in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US for HSV antibody detection and typing. These specimens were tested for IgG antibodies to HSV-2 using the

{3}------------------------------------------------

Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for detection of HSV type specific antibody. The relative agreement between the two test systems was 97.2% (174/179) with a 95% confidence interval of 93.6%-99.1%. The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 98.0% (50/51) with a 95% confidence interval of 89.5%-99.9% and 96.9% (124/128) with a 95% confidence interval of 92.2%-99.1% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. There were ten specimens which demonstrated either equivocal ELISA results or atypical Western Blot results and four specimens that could not be typed by Western Blot which were not included in the above calculations. The calculations for the 95% confidence interval were made by the Exact Method.

The following information is from a serum panel obtained from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and tested by Gull Laboratories. Inc. 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.

A serum panel comprised of one hundred clinical specimens (50 paired sera) was tested using the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. These specimens were characterized previously by CDC EIA and Western Blot testing. The panel of 100 samples contains more than 30% positive anti-HSV-2 samples. The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test demonstrated 95.0% total agreement with the CDC results. Of the results obtained with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test there was 86.1% agreement with the anti-HSV-2 positive specimens and 100.0% agreement with the anti-HSV-2 negative specimens.

Three hundred thirty five archived serum samples from patients with culture documented HSV-2 infection were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. Based on repeat testing of equivocal samples 89.3% (299/335) of the serum samples from culture positive patients tested positive in the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. Since the above study was performed on pre-selected retrospective specimens, the assay's positive and negative predictive values could not be calculated or inferred.

The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test also was used to test serum samples from individuals in low prevalence populations to determine the specificity of the assay. Serum samples from (a) one hundred ninety nine pediatric patients, one to twelve years of age, in the Northeast Region of the US, (b) two hundred nine individuals attending a University Student Health Clinic in the Pacific Northwest Region of the US, and (c) one hundred Blood Bank donors in the Northeast Region of the US were tested with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test and a Western Blot Method for type specific IgG antibody to HSV-2. Western Blot results were based on initial testing with the exception of specimens with initial atypical results which were reanalyzed. These repeat Western Blot results were used for analysis. Specimens initially reported as

{4}------------------------------------------------

equivocal with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were retested with the second test result used.

For the pediatric patient specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 78.9% (157/199). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 100.0% (2/2) with a 95% confidence interval of 1.6%-100.0% and 78.7% (155/197) with a 95% confidence interval of 73.0%-84.4% respectively when compared to the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 4.5% (2/44) with a 95% confidence interval of 0.6%-15.5% and 100.0% (155/155) and a 95% confidence interval of 97.6%-100.0% respectively.

For the University Student Health Clinic specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 96.6% (198/205). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 60.0% (3/5) with a 95% confidence interval of 14.7%-94.7% and 97.5% (195/200) with a 95% confidence interval of 94.3%-99.2% respectively when compared to the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 37.5% (3/8) with a 95% confidence interval of 8.5%-75.5% and 99.0% (195/197) and a 95% confidence interval of 96.4%-99.9% respectively. There were four specimens which either demonstrated equivocal ELISA or atypical Western Blot results which were not included in the calculations.

For the Blood Bank specimens the relative agreement between the two methods was 91.0% (91/100). The relative sensitivity and relative specificity of the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test were 76.5% (13/17) with a 95% confidence interval of 49.8.3%-92.2% and 94.0% (78/83) with a 95% confidence interval of 85.9%-97.8% respectively when compared with the Western Blot results. The predictive value positive and predictive value negative were 72.2% (13/18) with a 95% confidence interval of 46.9%-89.3% and 95.1% (78/82) with a 95% confidence interval of 87.3%-98.4% respectively.

## CONCLUSIONS:

The Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test is believed to be substantially equivalent to the HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test. This assessment is based on (1) the two tests are technologically equivalent, both being based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. (2) the intended use of each test is comparable with both being used for the qualitative determination of antibody to HSV-2 with the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test having improved specificity, and (3) the data from clinical studies conducted at Gull Laboratories, Inc. and two outside clinical institutions demonstrated acceptable agreement and the relative sensitivity and relative specificity when test results were compared with the expected specimen reactivity showed the Premier™ Type Specific HSV-2 IgG ELISA Test to demonstrate superior specificity for IgG antibody to HSV-2.
