Background I Recalibration of standards in copies/ml • HBV, HCV and HIV-1 analytical and infectivity standards1,2.3 have been recently recalibrated in copies/ml using multiple bDNA 3.0 assays4 • The recalibrated standards have been used for analytical sensitivity studies5,6 and TTI risk analysis7-12 1.Lelie N. et al.

Aim of the study • Compare different HBV, HCV and HIV Quality Control standards in a multi-centre validation study of ULTRIO on TIGRIS in Denmark and Ireland • Analyze TMA response values on QC standard dilutions to establish suitable run or trend control levels

Methods IIIQC samples evaluated • NIBSC working reagents • Seracare-BBI Accurun range • Acrometrix PeliSpy pro range • ISS standards • DDL bioQControl check and trend controls • DDL inactivated standard dilutions
Methods IVCharacteristics QC samples * Defibrination; removal of cry precipitating proteins
Methods V multi-centre performance evaluation study • Five laboratories from Denmark and Ireland tested multiple replicates of QC samples on TIGRIS in validation phase • Inactivated viral standard dilutions were tested in multiple replicates (n=52-58) and 95% and 50% detection limits were determined by probit analysis • QC samples were tested in 1:3 and 1:10 dilutions (n=30-33) • Distribution of ULTRIO S/CO response values on inactivated standard dilutions were analyzed • Longitudinal Procleix Duplex S/CO values of IBTS (Ireland) on HCV trend control sample (27 cps/ml) were analyzed
Proportion of reactive ULTRIO tests (n=33) on diluted run control samples * for HBV ULTRIO 1000 and 200 cps/ml ** for HCV 5700 IU/ml diluted to 40 and 12.5 IU/ml and for HIV 4000 IU/ml diluted to 100 and 33 IU/ml
Distribution S/CO results (n=52) for inactivated HCV-RNA standard dilutions saturated 35 cps/ml 116 cps/ml 345 cps/ml 35 12 cps/ml 0-1 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 6-7 7-8 8-9
Distribution S/CO results (n=778 runs) on HCV-RNA trend control (27 cps/ml) 0-1 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 6-7 7-8 8-9 9-10
Averaged (50) proportion TMA reactive (n=778 HCV Procleix duplex runs) % reactive (mean + 25 and – 25 runs) % saturated (mean + 25 and – 25 runs)
Conclusions and discussion • Viral concentration in most QC samples appears to be sufficiently critical for external run controls • Run controls should be quantified; consistent concentrations between different batches • ULTRIO detection limits on untreated and inactivated viral standards were comparable* • A trend control sample of ~25 cps/ml (around the 90-95% detection limit) is more instrumental for longitudinal monitoring of analytical sensitivity of TMA test runs** * For HBV further studies required to prove the correct calibration in copies/ml ** Follow percentage TMA reactive and the distribution of S/CO values over time
