INTENDED USE
The MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgM/IgG is an in vitro chemiluminescence immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of
immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human serum and serum in separating gel tubes (SST) using
the MAGLUMI 2000 series fully-automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. The MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgM/IgG is intended for use
as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. At this time, it is unknown
for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity. The MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV
IgM/IgG should not be used to diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory
Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C 263a, that meet requirements to perform moderate or high complexity testing.
Results are for the detection and differentiation of SARS CoV-2 antibodies. IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are generally detectable in
blood several days after initial infection, although the duration of time antibodies are present post-infection is not well characterized. Individuals
may have detectable virus present for several weeks following seroconversion.
Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities.
The sensitivity of the MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgM/IgG early after infection is unknown. Negative results do not preclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
If acute infection is suspected, direct testing for SARS-CoV-2 is necessary.
False positive results for the MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgM/IgG may occur due to cross-reactivity from pre-existing antibodies or other possible
causes.
The MAGLUMI 2019-nCoV IgM/IgG is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization.
2019-nCoV is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and can also be transmitted through direct contact. The symptoms of infection seen
so far are mainly patients with pneumonia infected by the novel coronavirus2.
Research has shown that IgM and IgG antiviral antibodies can be detected in serum samples from a patient3. After human infection with 2019-
nCoV, its antigen stimulates the immune system to produce an immune response, and corresponding antibodies appear in the blood after several
days.
The kit should not be used to diagnose or exclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status. The test is used as an aid to identify
patients with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 indicating recent or past infection.
The World Health Organization announced the interim name of the novel coronavirus as 2019-nCoV on January 7, 2020: The International
Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) announced Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as the official name of
the virus on February 11, 2020. On the same day, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
announced that the name for the disease associated with infected with SARS-CoV-2 would be officially named "COVID-19," short for coronavirus
disease 2019.
The sample (serum in standard sampling tubes or tubes containing separating gel (SST)), buffer, and magnetic microbeads coated with anti-
human IgM monoclonal antibody are mixed thoroughly and incubated, forming immune-complexes. After precipitation in a magnetic field, the
supernatant is decanted, and a wash cycle is performed. Then, the 2019-nCoV recombinant antigen, expressing the full-length spike and
nucleocapsid proteins, labeled with ABEI is added and incubated to form complexes. After precipitation in a magnetic field, the supernatant is
decanted and another wash cycle is performed. Subsequently, the Starter Buffer is added to initiate a chemiluminescent reaction. The light signal
is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLUs), which is proportional to the concentration of IgM present in the sample. The test is
performed with the MAGLUMI 2000 series fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer.

Instrument
Please order all above from Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd. (SNIBE) or our authorized representative.
CALIBRATION
Traceability: This method has been standardized against the SNIBE internal reference substance.
Testing of assay specific calibrators allows the RLU values to adjust the assigned master curve. Results are determined automatically by the system via
a calibration curve, which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) CHIP.
QUALITY CONTROL
Follow government regulations or accreditation requirements for quality control frequency.
Quality controls (positive and negative controls) are only applicable with MAGLUMI system.
For details about entering quality control values, refer to the operating instructions of MAGLUMII 2000 series fully-auto chemiluminescence
immunoassay analyzer.
To monitor system performance, quality control materials (positive and negative) are required. Treat all quality control with the same level of care as
patient samples. A satisfactory level of performance is achieved when analyte values obtained are within the acceptable pre-established ranges. If
the quality control results fall outside the pre-established ranges of less than 0.7 AU/mL for negative controls and 2.8-5.2 AU/mL for positive controls,
measurement of the quality control should be repeated. If the quality control results still falls outside the pre-established range, do not report results
and take the following actions:
Verify that the quality control materials (positive and negative) are not expired.
Verify that the assay was performed according to the instruction for use.
Rerun the assay with new quality control samples (positive and negative).
If necessary, contact your local technical support provider or distributor for assistance.
Samples may be infectious so heat inactivated of the samples at 56°C for 30 minutes should be performed before testing, or according to the
requirements of state and local governments2.
Ensure that complete clot formation in 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 complete clotting, the presence of fibrin may cause erroneous results. Samples must be free of fibrin and
other particulate substances.
Grossly hemolyzed specimens or specimens containing particulate matter or exhibiting obvious microbial contamination should not be used. All
specimens should be inspected for bubbles and bubbles removed before analysis for optimal results.
All samples (patient specimens and controls) should be tested within 3 hours of placing them on board the MAGLUMI System. Refer to the SNIBE
service for more detailed discussion of onboard sample storage constraints. (website : https://www.snibe.com/zh_en/en_index.aspx)
Specimens removed from the separator gel, cells, or clot may be stored for 3 days at 2-8°C. If longer storage is required, the specimens should
be kept at -20°C or colder4.
Avoid more than three freeze and thaw cycles. Frozen specimens must be mixed thoroughly after thawing by low speed vortex or by gently
inverting.
For optimal results, 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 ≥ 10,000RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) for 10 minutes. Transfer clarified
specimens to a sample cup or secondary tube for testing. For centrifuged specimens with a lipid layer, transfer only the clarified specimen and not
the lipemic material.
Before shipping specimens, it is recommended that specimens be removed from the separator, red blood cells, or clot. When shipped, specimens
should be packaged and labeled in compliance with applicable state, federal and international regulations covering the transport of clinical
specimens and infectious substances. Specimens should be shipped frozen.

Bacterial contamination or repeated freeze-thaw cycles may affect the test results.
Assay results should be utilized in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory methods to assist the clinician in making individual patient decisions.
Assay results should not be used to diagnose or exclude acute COVID-19. Direct viral nucleic acid detection or antigen detection methods should
be performed if acute infection is suspected.
• Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions.
• A negative or non-reactive result can occur if the quantity of antibodies for the SARS-CoV-2 virus present in the specimen is below the
detection limit of the assay, or the virus has undergone minor amino acid mutation(s) in the epitope recognized by the antibody detected by
the test.
• Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43,
or 229E.
• SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies may be below detectable levels in patients who have been exhibiting symptoms for less than 8 days.
If the results are inconsistent with clinical evidence, additional testing is suggested to confirm the result.
HAMA antibodies in test samples may cause interference in immunoassays at concentrations greater than 30ng/mL.
It is not known at this time if the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 confers immunity to re-infection.
A positive result may not indicate previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. Consider other information including clinical history and local disease prevalence,
in assessing the need for a second but different serology test to confirm an immune response.

2 Measuring Principle
After being pipetted to the cuvette, samples and reagents are blended, washed and
separated before the cuvette is sent to the chamber. Starter 1 is injected into the first
hole in the cuvette bar, and then Starter 2 is injected into the same hole after 2.5
seconds, triggering chemiluminescence reaction. Detection of optical signals starts 0.1
second after the chemiluminescence reaction and obtains optical signals of 3.0
seconds. Repeat this step to detect the other five holes in the cuvette bar.
2.3 Calibration
Because there are differences between the actual working environment and laboratory
environment, the master curve should be adjusted to generate the working curve that
meets the actual work environment.
Brief description:
The master curve is determined by 10 standard calibrators.
Compare two calibration RLUs obtained by calibrators with RLUs of related
concentration on the master curve.
Calculate the difference between two calibration RLUs obtained by calibrators and
RLUs of related concentration on the master curve, and carry out linear inference
using the recalculated RLU (Y-axis) and concentration (X-axis).
Calculate RLU differences of other calibrators on the master curve with the
correction carve and recalculate the RLU and concentration.
The recalculated curve is a valid working curve.

15 Sample Loading
The sample rack specified for the analyzer has 12 sample positions, where sample
tubes with or without barcode can be inserted; barcodes of sample tubes can be
automatically scanned into the analyzer.
The barcodes on the sample rack are used to determine the specific positions of
sample tubes. When sample rack is inserted, the barode detector will scan barcode
info on the rack one by one; the position of each sample and other info contained in the
barcode will all be displayed on the Sample Info of [Patients] interface.
After the sample rack is correctly inserted to the sample reservoir, the sample info will
be read.
No. 3 & 4 sample tubes have no barcode, therefore cannot be automatically identified.
If a sample is not automatically identified, users can manually edit the sample info.
The analyzer only uses one type of sample rack. Sample tubes with the inner diameter
of φ8 mm~φ12 mm and the height of 60 mm~100mm can be used.
WARNING
1) Please make sure the sample tube has been uncapped before
pipetting; otherwise the sampling needle will get damaged.
2) In order to avoid infection, please wear gloves before operating
each sample.
NOTE
In case of lack or absence of sample solution, the analyzer will still
show the result; therefore, when the analyzer shows a warning
message such as " Left/Right Needle can not detect Liquid!, retest
should be performed.
NOTE
To ensure safety, the sample must satisfy relevant requirements and
operation conditions to avoid air bubbles and blood clots!
The sample satisfying all conditions can be put in a sample tube to be inserted to the
sample rack. The operation steps are described as follows:
1. Test tubes must conform to specification requirements;
2. Carefully insert each sample tube to the sample rack;
3. If barcode scanning will be performed for the sample rack, each barcode should
face rightward so that it can be read by the barcode reader.
NOTE
1) Do not revolve a sample tube with barcode in the sample rack to
avoid damaging the barcode.
2) After a sample tube is read by the barcode successfully or has been
edited manually, it cannot be pulled out and inserted to other slot.
Like samples, each barcode of Light Check fluid provided by Snibe should face the
barcode reader so that it can be read. If a sample tube is not properly inserted to the
sample rack, please pull it out and reinsert it.
NOTE
1) Before pushing the sample rack into the sample compartment,
please make sure both the machine and the software have entered
the working status. Otherwise, the sample cannot be read and
subsequent operation will be invalid.
2) The barcode reader has laser radiation hazard. Please avoid
looking directly at the laser beam!
