Preservatives: antimicrobial agents.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF TEST


The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay determines the concentration of antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) present in human serum and plasma. Anti-HBs assays are often used to monitor the success of Hepatitis B vaccination. The presence of anti-HBs has been shown to be important in protection against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.1 Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the Hepatitis B vaccine to stimulate the immune system to produce anti-HBs and to prevent HBV infection.2-4 Assays for anti-HBs are also used to monitor the convalescence and recovery of Hepatitis B infected individuals. The presence of anti-HBs after acute HBV infection and loss of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) can be a useful indicator of disease resolution. Detection of anti-HBs in an asymptomatic individual may indicate previous exposure to HBV. Samples with anti-HBs concentration less than 10.0 mIU/mL are considered nonreactive by the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay. Samples with anti-HBs concentrations greater than or equal to 10.0 mIU/mL are considered reactive.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS


For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Package insert instructions must be carefully followed. Reliability of assay results cannot be guaranteed if there are any deviations from the instructions in this package insert. Safety Precautions CAUTION: This product contains human sourced and/or potentially infectious components. Refer to the REAGENTS section of this package insert. No known test method can offer complete assurance that products derived from human sources or inactivated microorganisms will not transmit infection. Therefore, all human sourced materials should be considered potentially infectious. It is recommended that these reagents and human specimens be handled in accordance with the OSHA Standard on Bloodborne Pathogen.5 Biosafety Level 26 or other appropriate biosafety practices7,8 should be used for materials that contain or are suspected of containing infectious agents. This product contains sodium azide; for a specific listing, refer to the REAGENTS section. Contact with acids liberates very toxic gas. This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe way. For information on the safe disposal of sodium azide and a detailed discussion of safety precautions during system operation, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 8. The human plasma used in the conjugate is nonreactive for HBsAg, HIV-1 RNA or HIV-1 Ag, anti-HCV, anti-HIV-1/HIV-2, and anti-HBs.

BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCEDURE


The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay is a two-step immunoassay, using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology, for the quantitative determination of anti-HBs in human serum and plasma. In the first step, sample and recombinant HBsAg (rHBsAg) coated paramagnetic microparticles are combined. Anti-HBs present in the sample binds to the rHBsAg coated microparticles. After washing, acridinium-labeled rHBsAg conjugate is added in the second step. Following another wash cycle, Pre-Trigger and Trigger Solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs). A direct relationship exists between the amount of anti-HBs in the sample and the RLUs detected by the ARCHITECT i* System optics. The concentration of anti-HBs in the specimen is determined using a previously generated ARCHITECT Anti-HBs calibration curve. If the concentration of the specimen is greater than or equal to 10.0 mIU/mL, the specimen is considered reactive for anti-HBs. For additional information on system and assay technology, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 3. * i = immunoassay

Minimum concentration: 0.10 g/mL. Preservatives: sodium azide and antimicrobial agents.

Handling Precautions Do not use reagent kits beyond the expiration date. Do not pool reagents within a reagent kit or between reagent kits. Prior to loading the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Reagent Kit on the system for the first time, the microparticle bottle requires mixing to resuspend microparticles that may have settled during shipment. For microparticle mixing instructions, refer to the PROCEDURE, Assay Procedure section of this package insert. Septums MUST be used to prevent reagent evaporation and contamination, and to ensure reagent integrity. Reliability of assay results cannot be guaranteed if septums are not used according to the instructions in this package insert. To avoid contamination, wear clean gloves when placing a septum on an uncapped reagent bottle. Once a septum has been placed on an open reagent bottle, do not invert the bottle as this will result in reagent leakage and may compromise assay results. Over time, residual liquids may dry on the septum surface. These are typically dried salts and have no effect on assay efficacy. For a detailed discussion of handling precautions during system operation, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 7.

Storage Instructions The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Reagent Kit, Calibrators, and Controls must be stored at 2-8C in an upright position and may be used immediately after removal from 2-8C storage. When stored and handled as directed, reagents are stable until the expiration date. The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Reagent Kit may be stored on board the ARCHITECT i System for a maximum of 30 days. After 30 days, the reagent kit must be discarded. For information on tracking onboard time, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5. Reagents may be stored on or off the ARCHITECT i System. If reagents are removed from the system, store them at 2-8C (with septums and replacement caps) in an upright position. For reagents stored off the system, it is recommended they be stored in their original trays and boxes to ensure they remain upright. If the microparticle bottle does not remain upright (with a septum installed) while in refrigerated storage off the system, the reagent kit must be discarded. After reagents are removed from the system, you must initiate a scan to update the onboard stability timer.

Indications of Reagent Deterioration When a control value is out of the specified range, it may indicate deterioration of the reagents or errors in technique. Associated test results are invalid and will require retesting. Assay recalibration may be necessary. For troubleshooting information, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 10.

INSTRUMENT PROCEDURE
The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay file must be installed on the ARCHITECT i System from the ARCHITECT i assay CD-ROM prior to performing the assay. For detailed information on assay file installation and viewing and editing assay parameters, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 2. For information on printing assay parameters, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5. For a detailed description of system procedures, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual. The default result unit for the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay is mIU/mL. An alternate result unit, IU/L, may be selected for reporting results by editing assay parameter Result concentration units to IU/L. The conversion factor used by the system is 1. Human serum (including serum collected in serum separator tubes) or plasma collected in potassium EDTA, sodium citrate, ACD, CPDA-1, and sodium heparin may be used in the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay. Liquid anticoagulants may have a dilutional effect resulting in lower concentrations for individual patient samples. Other anticoagulants have not been validated for use with the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay. Follow the tube manufacturers processing instructions for serum or plasma collection tubes. The ARCHITECT i System does not provide the capability to verify specimen type. It is the responsibility of the operator to verify the correct specimen types are used in the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay. Performance has not been established using cadaver specimens or body fluids other than human serum or plasma. Use caution when handling patient specimens to prevent cross contamination. Use of disposable pipettes or pipette tips is recommended. This assay was designed and validated for use with human serum or plasma from individual patient and donor specimens. Pooled specimens must not be used since the accuracy of their test results has not been validated.

SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS


Do not use heat-inactivated specimens. Do not use grossly hemolyzed specimens. For optimal results, inspect all samples for bubbles. Remove bubbles with an applicator stick prior to analysis. Use a new applicator stick for each sample to prevent cross contamination. For optimal results, serum and plasma specimens should be free of fibrin, red blood cells, or other particulate matter. Such specimens may give inconsistent results and must be transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at least 10,000 RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) for 10 minutes. Ensure that complete clot formation in serum specimens has taken place prior to centrifugation. Some specimens, especially those from patients receiving anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapy may exhibit increased clotting time. If the specimen is centrifuged before a complete clot forms, the presence of fibrin may cause erroneous results. Specimens from heparinized patients may be partially coagulated and erroneous results could occur due to the presence of fibrin. To prevent this phenomenon, draw the specimen prior to heparin therapy. Gravity separation is not sufficient for specimen preparation. Specimens must be separated from clots or red blood cells using centrifugation as recommended by the tube manufacturer. Specimens may be stored on or off the clot or red blood cells for up to 14 days at 2-8C. If testing will be delayed more than 14 days, remove serum or plasma from the clot, serum separator, or red blood cells, and store frozen (-20C or colder). Frozen specimens must be mixed THOROUGHLY after thawing by LOW speed vortexing. Centrifuged specimens with a lipid layer on the top must be transferred to a sample cup or secondary tube. Care must be taken to transfer only the clarified specimen without the lipemic material. No qualitative performance differences were observed between experimental controls and the 24 nonreactive or 22 spiked reactive specimens subjected to 4 freeze-thaw cycles. The quantitative performance differences observed were within normal assay variability; however, multiple freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. When shipped, specimens must be packaged and labeled in compliance with applicable state, federal, and international regulations covering the transport of specimens and infectious substances. Specimens may be shipped ambient, at 2-8C (wet ice), or -20C or colder (dry ice). Do not exceed the storage time limitations listed above. Prior to shipment, it is recommended that specimens be removed from the clot, serum separator, or red blood cells. No qualitative performance differences were observed between experimental controls and the 23 nonreactive or 23 spiked reactive specimens tested with elevated levels of triglycerides ( 3000 mg/dL),* bilirubin ( 20 mg/dL),* and hemoglobin ( 500 mg/dL).* No qualitative performance differences were observed between experimental controls and the 30 nonreactive or 30 spiked reactive specimens tested with red blood cells at 0.4% v/v.* No qualitative performance differences were observed between experimental controls and the 21 nonreactive or 20 spiked reactive specimens tested with elevated levels of protein ( 12 g/dL).* ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Calibrators and Controls should be mixed by gentle inversion prior to use. The quantitative performance differences observed were within normal assay variability.

Pipettes or pipette tips (optional) to deliver the volumes specified on the patient or control order screen. Assay Procedure Before loading the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Reagent Kit on the system for the first time, the microparticle bottle requires mixing to resuspend microparticles that may have settled during shipment: Invert the microparticle bottle 30 times. Visually inspect the bottle to ensure microparticles are resuspended. If microparticles are still adhered to the bottle, continue to invert the bottle until the microparticles have been completely resuspended. Once the microparticles have been resuspended, remove and discard the cap. Wearing clean gloves, remove a septum from the bag. Carefully snap the septum onto the top of the bottle. If the microparticles do not resuspend, DO NOT USE. Contact your local Abbott representative. Order calibration, if necessary. Order tests. For information on ordering patient specimens, calibrators, and controls, and general operating procedures, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5. Load the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Reagent Kit on the ARCHITECT i System. Verify that all necessary reagents are present. Ensure that septums are present on all reagent bottles. The minimum sample cup volume is calculated by the system and is printed on the Orderlist report. No more than 10 replicates may be sampled from the same sample cup. To minimize the effects of evaporation verify adequate sample cup volume is present prior to running the test. Priority: 125 L for the first Anti-HBs test plus 75 L for each additional Anti-HBs test from the same sample cup. 3 hours on board: 150 L for the first Anti-HBs test plus 75 L for each additional Anti-HBs test from the same sample cup. > 3 hours on board: additional sample volume is required. Refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5, for information on sample evaporation and volumes. If using primary or aliquot tubes, use the sample gauge to ensure sufficient patient specimen is present. ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Calibrators and Controls should be mixed by gentle inversion prior to use. To obtain the recommended volume requirements for the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Calibrators and Controls, hold the bottles vertically, and dispense 7 drops of each Calibrator (for 2 replicates), or 5 drops of each Control (for 1 replicate) into each respective sample cup.

Load samples. For information on loading samples, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5. Press RUN. The ARCHITECT i System performs the following functions: Moves the sample to the aspiration point. Loads a reaction vessel (RV) into the process path. Aspirates and transfers sample into the RV. Advances the RV one position and transfers microparticles into the RV. Mixes, incubates, and washes the reaction mixture. Adds conjugate to the RV. Mixes, incubates, and washes the reaction mixture. Adds Pre-Trigger and Trigger Solutions. Measures chemiluminescent emission to determine the quantity of anti-HBs in the sample. Aspirates contents of RV to liquid waste and unloads RV to solid waste. Calculates the result. For optimal performance, it is important to follow the routine maintenance procedures defined in the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 9. If your laboratory requires more frequent maintenance, follow those procedures.

Specimen Dilution Procedures Specimens with an anti-HBs value exceeding 1,000 mIU/mL are flagged with the code >1000.00 mIU/mL and may be diluted with either the: 1) Automated Dilution Protocol or 2) Manual Dilution Procedure. 1) Automated Dilution Protocol (for concentrations up to 15,000 mIU/mL) The system performs a 1:15 dilution of the specimen and automatically calculates the concentration of the specimen before dilution and reports the result. 2) Manual Dilution Procedure (for concentrations up to 100,000 mIU/mL) The suggested manual dilution for Anti-HBs is 1:100. It is recommended dilutions not exceed 1:100. For a 1:100 dilution, add 10 L of the patient specimen to 990 L of ARCHITECT i Multi-Assay Manual Diluent (7D82). The operator must enter the dilution factor in the Patient or Control order screen. All assays selected for that order will be diluted. The system will use this dilution factor to automatically calculate the concentration of the sample before dilution and report the result. The concentration reported by the ARCHITECT i System MUST be greater than 10.0 mIU/mL. If the reported concentration is less than 10.0 mIU/mL, make a smaller dilution. Specimens with an anti-HBs value reported as greater than 15,000 mIU/mL may be diluted using either the: 1) Automated Dilution Protocol and the Manual Dilution Procedure or 2) Manual Dilution Procedure. 1) Automated Dilution Protocol and the Manual Dilution Procedure (for concentrations up to 1,500,000 mIU/mL) The suggested manual dilution for Anti-HBs is 1:100. It is recommended dilutions not exceed 1:100. For a 1:100 dilution, add 10 L of the patient specimen to 990 L of ARCHITECT i Multi-Assay Manual Diluent (7D82). Order the Automated Dilution Protocol using the manually diluted 1:100 sample. The concentration reported by the ARCHITECT System MUST be greater than 10.0 mIU/mL. Multiply the result (from the Automated Dilution Protocol) by the manual dilution factor (e.g. 100) to obtain the final sample concentration. If the concentration reported by the ARCHITECT i System is less than 10.0 mIU/mL, make a smaller dilution.

2) Manual Dilution Procedure (for concentrations up to 100,000 mIU/mL) The suggested manual dilution for Anti-HBs is 1:100. It is recommended dilutions not exceed 1:100. For a 1:100 dilution, add 10 L of the patient specimen to 990 L of ARCHITECT i Multi-Assay Manual Diluent (7D82). The operator must enter the dilution factor in the Patient or Control order screen. All assays selected for that order will be diluted. The system will use this dilution factor to automatically calculate the concentration of the sample before dilution and report the result. The concentration reported by the ARCHITECT i System MUST be greater than 10.0 mIU/mL. If the reported concentration is less than 10.0 mIU/mL, make a smaller dilution. For detailed information on ordering dilutions, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5. Calibration To perform an ARCHITECT Anti-HBs calibration, test Calibrators 1 and 2 in duplicate. A single sample of all levels of Anti-HBs controls must be tested to evaluate the assay calibration. Ensure that assay control values are within the concentration ranges specified in the Control package insert. Calibrators should be priority loaded. Calibrator Range: 0 - 1000 mIU/mL. Once an ARCHITECT Anti-HBs calibration is accepted and stored, all subsequent samples may be tested without further calibration unless: A reagent kit with a new lot number is used Controls are out of range For detailed information on how to perform an assay calibration, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 6.

LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE


If the Anti-HBs results are inconsistent with clinical evidence, additional testing is suggested to confirm the result. For diagnostic purposes, results should be used in conjunction with patient history and other Hepatitis markers for diagnosis of acute, chronic, or recovered infection. Samples containing particulate matter or red blood cells must be centrifuged prior to running the assay. Performance has not been established using cadaver specimens or body fluids other than human serum or plasma. Do not use heat-inactivated specimens. Specimens from heparinized patients may be partially coagulated and erroneous results could occur due to the presence of fibrin. To prevent this phenomenon, draw the specimen prior to heparin therapy. Quantitative values obtained using alternative assays (i.e. MEIA, EIA or RIA) may not be equivalent and cannot be used interchangeably. A new baseline, using the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay, should be established when monitoring vaccinees.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS


Precision The precision of ARCHITECT Anti-HBs was determined during clinical studies using three reagent lots. A panel composed of five unique members was tested in replicates of four with each reagent lot once daily for five days at three sites. Each daily run included the ARCHITECT Positive Controls each tested in duplicate at the beginning and end of the run. The intra-assay and inter-assay standard deviation (SD) and percent coefficient of variation (%CV) were determined with a variance component analysis 9 for a random effects model 10 (Table I).

QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES


NOTE: It is recommended that the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Positive Control 1, Anti-HBs Positive Control 2, and Negative Control be run in order to verify the calibration. The recommended control requirement for the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay is a single sample of each control tested once every 24 hours each day of use. If the quality control procedures in your laboratory require more frequent use of controls to verify test results, follow your laboratory-specific procedures. Ensure that assay Control values are within the concentration ranges specified in the Control package insert. NOTE: For special instructions on how to run controls with a value of 0 mIU/mL (ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Negative Control) refer to the ARCHITECT Anti-HBs Control package insert. Verification of Assay Claims For protocols to verify package insert claims, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Appendix B. The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay belongs to method group 4. RESULTS The ARCHITECT Anti-HBs assay utilizes a 4 Parameter Logistic Curve Fit data reduction method (4PLC, X-weighted) to generate a calibration curve. Interpretation of Results Specimens with concentration values < 10.00 mIU/mL are considered nonreactive by the criteria of ARCHITECT Anti-HBs. Specimens with concentration values 10.00 mIU/mL are considered reactive by the criteria of ARCHITECT Anti-HBs. NOTE: For details on configuring the ARCHITECT i System regarding grayzone and high reactive interpretations, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 2. The grayzone and high reactive interpretation is an editable parameter, and should be utilized per end user requirements. Flags Some results may contain information in the Flags field. For a description of the flags that may appear in this field, refer to the ARCHITECT System Operations Manual, Section 5.
