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: The LIAISON® HSV-1 type specific IgG assay is an in vitro diagnostic device consisting of reagents provided within a plastic container/kit called the
{1}
Reagent Integral. The reagent integral kit contains magnetic particles, calibrators, specimen diluent, and conjugate for 100 tests. Controls are required to run the assay and sold separately. The LIAISON® HSV-1 IgG immunoassay is performed on the LIAISON® Analyzer (Model 15970) that was cleared on Feb. 8, 2006 (K052499). The magnetic particles are beads coated with HSV-1 IgG recombinant antigen. During first incubation, the magnetic particles are incubated with serum to capture IgG antibodies to HSV-1. During the second incubation, HSV-1 IgG and antigen complex bound to the magnetic particles are mixed with the detector antibody conjugate. The detector antibody conjugate is mouse monoclonal to human IgG conjugated to an isoluminol derivative. The unbound material is removed with a wash cycle after each incubation. Subsequently, a flash chemiluminescence reaction is induced by adding the starter reagents. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU).

L. Test Principle: The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to HSV-1 is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). HSV-1 gG1 recombinant antigen is used for coating magnetic particles (solid phase) and a mouse monoclonal antibody is linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, HSV-1 antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with HSV-1 IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of HSV-1 IgG present in calibrators, samples or controls.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# 1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility: A reproducibility/precision study was conducted at two external and one internal. Each site used a different lot of the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG for the study. A coded panel comprised of 8 frozen "engineered" serum samples was prepared by DiaSorin S.p.A. and provided to the sites. The coded panel samples were prepared by spiking positive samples into negative samples to achieve high negative, low positive and high positive results.
The coded panel was tested at all three sites, using four replicates per run in two runs per day with different operators performing each run during five operating days. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens for each of the sites and across sites. The Inter/Intra-operator and Inter/Intra-site reproducibility results are summarized in the following table.

## Performance Characteristics
## Summary of Clinical Studies
DiaSorin tested 951 samples collected in the Northeastern United States and compared with the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay to an FDA cleared Immunoblot. The samples were classified as “At risk” samples (n=401) from sexually active adults (at risk for a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)), Expectant Mothers (n=430) and “Low risk” samples (n=120) from patients seen at the clinic for anything other than an STD. The studies were conducted at two (2) independent external laboratories.
The sample populations were divided between the sites. Site 1 tested a total of 460 samples (201 At risk, 199 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low risk). Site 2 tested a total of 491 samples (200 At risk, 231 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low risk). Site 3 tested a total of 951 samples (401 At risk, 430 Expectant Mothers and 120 Low prevalence). Equivocal samples were repeat tested as per the Instructions for Use. Any repeat equivocal samples on the predicate device were sent to a Reference Laboratory in the Pacific Northwest for Western Blot testing.
## Sexually Active Adults (401)
Four Hundred one (401) samples were obtained from Sexually Active Adults who were seen at STD clinics in the Northeastern U.S. were tested with the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay and the HSV-1 predicate method Immunoblot.

# Agreement with a CDC Panel
A serum panel was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and tested by the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay. The panel consisted of 52% positive and 48% negative samples. The LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay demonstrated 100% positive agreement (52/52) and 93.7% negative agreement (45/48) with the CDC positive results. There were three false positive results obtained with the Liaison HSV-1 Type specific assay.
## 4. Clinical cut-off: NA
## 5. Expected values/Reference range:
The prevalence may vary depending upon geographical location, age, gender, type of test employed, specimen collection and handling procedures as well as clinical history of the patient. The observed and the hypothetical predictive values for the sexually active adults, expectant mothers, and low prevalence populations are shown below. The positive predictive value (PPV) will decrease proportionally to the prevalence of HSV-1 infection as reflected in the table. The calculations are based on LIAISON® HSV-1 positive and negative agreements of 96.9% and 91.3%, respectively, in a sexually active adult population, 98.7% and 93.7%, respectively, in an expectant mothers population, and 96.8% and 100%, respectively, in a low prevalence population.
