The RAPIRUN H. pylori antibody Detection kit is a rapid immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in urine to aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. The RAPIRUN kit is suitable for use in both point-of-care and clinical laboratory settings.
Device Story
Rapid immunochromatographic assay; detects IgG antibodies against H. pylori in urine samples. Device consists of nitrocellulose membrane, H. pylori extracted protein, and colloidal gold-conjugated anti-human IgG (Fc) polyclonal antibody. User applies diluted urine to sample window; immunocomplexes flow across membrane. If anti-H. pylori IgG is present, it binds to immobilized H. pylori antigen on test line, creating visible red band. Control line captures remaining immunocomplexes to validate test. Used in point-of-care or clinical laboratory settings by healthcare professionals. Provides qualitative visual result (positive/negative) to aid clinical diagnosis of H. pylori infection.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center, prospective clinical study (n=188) compared RAPIRUN urine test to HM-CAP serum EIA and UBiT-IR300 breath test. Overall agreement with HM-CAP was 87.23% (95% CI: 81.97-91.39); positive agreement 84.71%, negative agreement 89.32%. Overall agreement with UBiT-IR300 was 93.09% (95% CI: 88.51-96.27); positive agreement 86.46%, negative agreement 100.00%.

Identification
Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify Campylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.

L. Test Principle:
When a urine sample diluted with the sample diluent is added dropwise to the sample window, the IgG in the diluted sample reacts with the conjugated antibodies. Immunocomplexes are formed and flow into the nitrocellulose membrane. If anti H. pylori IgG antibody complexes are present in these immunocomplexes, they react with the H. pylori antigen immobilizing on the test line and are captured producing a red band. On the other hand, immunocomplexes without anti H. pylori IgG antibodies pass the test line and are captured by the anti-human IgG polyclonal antibodies (goat) immobilizing on the control line producing a red band. If red colored bands appear in both test and control zones, the test can be considered positive. A red colored band only in the control zone is a negative test result. The test result is invalid if no red colored band appears in the control zone.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Two studies were performed to assess the reproducibility of the RAPIRUN kit. Control samples for both studies were prepared from pooled sera which were negative and positive respectively, for anti-H. pylori antibodies. Three levels of controls were tested: negative, weakly positive and highly positive. In the first study, three lots of kits were tested on the same day. For each lot, 3 replicates of each of the three control samples were tested. The expected negative and positive results were obtained in all cases. In the second study, intra-day, inter-day, inter-operator and inter-lot reproducibility were evaluated as follows
Intra-day One operator tested one lot at 3 different times on the same day
Inter-day One operator tested one lot on 3 different days
Inter-operator Three operators tested one lot on the same day
Inter-lot Three operators tested 3 different lots on 3 different days
The expected negative and positive results were obtained in all cases.
An additional study was performed using a panel of 8 urine specimens tested with varying concentrations of H. pylori antibodies (2 each of negative, weakly positive, positive and highly positive). 3 levels of control samples were also tested. Evaluation was as follows:
{4}
Inter-lot One operator tested 3 different lots on the same day
Inter-day One operator tested one lot on 3 different days
Intra-day One operator tested one lot at three different times on the same day
Inter-operator Three operators tested one lot on the same day
The expected negative and positive results were obtained in all cases.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
N/A
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
N/A
d. Detection limit:
Three control samples that were negative, weakly positive and highly positive for anti- H. pylori antibody were selected from pooled negative and pooled positive sera respectively. The negative and positive samples were diluted 4000-fold with a 2 mmol/L Borax buffer solution containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin. The highly positive Control sample was diluted 6-fold by the negative sample to create a weakly positive control sample. The titer of anti- H. pylori antibody contained in the weakly positive control sample corresponds to that of the highly positive sample diluted 24000-fold.
e. Analytical specificity:
A cross reactivity study was performed to investigate the effects of proteins extracted from the following bacteria on the test results obtained using the RAPIRUN kit:
Enterococcus fecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus.
Test samples were prepared by adding proteins extracted from the bacteria to two urine samples negative for anti H. pylori antibodies and three urine samples positive for anti H. pylori antibodies. All test samples were run in triplicate. None of the proteins extracted from the 6 bacteria had any effect on the expected test results.
Interference Studies
{5}
An interference study was performed to investigate the effects of 26 substances on samples using the RAPIRUN kit. Each substance was added individually to 2 urine samples negative for anti-H. pylori antibodies and to 2 urine samples positive for anti-H. pylori antibodies. Substances tested included proteins, drugs and other metabolites considered to be possibly present in urine. Interference was observed for human gamma-globulin, human serum, and bilirubin F. No interference was observed for the remaining 23 substances namely :
Human serum albumin, mucoprotein, glucose, hemoglobin, bilirubin C, vitamin C, acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, acetaminophen, atrophine, norephedrine, uric acid, urea, creatine, creatinine, calcium oxalate, 5-aminolevulinic acid, myoglobin, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, $\beta_{2}$-microglobulin, L-Leucine, L-Cystine and acetone.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A multi-center prospective study was conducted at four Physicians Office Labs (POL)/Point-of-Care (POC) settings. Subjects between the ages of 18 and 75 yrs who were either asymptomatic or experiencing dyspepsia were recruited from the investigational sites. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were listed. A urine specimen was collected from each of the 188 evaluable patients and tested with the RAPIRUN kit at the investigational sites. A blood specimen was also collected from all subjects and tested with the HM-CAP EIA test at a central testing laboratory. Additionally all patients underwent a standard urea breath test (UBT) and the breath samples were analyzed using the UBiT-IR300 Infrared Spectrophotometer method at the investigational sites. The urine, serum and breath specimens for each patient were collected on the same day. There were no deviations from the protocol. No device malfunctions nor adverse events were reported. Results from the RAPIRUN for the qualitative detection of antibodies to H. pylori in urine were compared to results from the HM-CAP EIA for the detection of antibodies to H. pylori in serum and to the UBiT-IR 300 Infrared Spectrophotometer for measuring $^{13}\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ enrichment in breath.
Results of RAPIRUN vs. HM-CAP:
