ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Performance of two disposable devices for identifying subjects with low anti-SARS-CoV-2 protection was compared with that of automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) and chemiluminescent (CLIA) assay. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In July 2021, 123 healthcare workers (HCW), twice vaccinated by BNT162b2/Comirnaty mRNA (BioNTech-Pfizer), underwent Ab iRapid COVID-19 Quant "Neutralizing" Self-test (iRapid Self-test) and "Neutralizing" Professional-use (iRapid pro) (DIESSE, Diagnostica Senese, Siena, Italy). Simultaneously, serum Ab were determined by Maglumi 2000 plus (anti S-RBD CLIA assay, Snibe Diagnostics, Shenzhen, China) and SARS-CoV-2 "Neutralizing" Ab Chorus ELISA (DIESSE, Siena, Italy). Results were evaluated against two "protective-thresholds", 90 kBAU/L and 506 kBAU/L.RESULTS:
HCW mean age, 46.2 (±12.6) years; 26 (20.5%), males, 101 (79.5%), females. The mean time interval (and standard deviation) between the first vaccine dose and Ab determination was 129.5 (±36.4) days and was neither gender (p = 0.879) nor age (p = 0.341) related. With Maglumi, 114 (89.7%) and 43 (33.8%) HCW presented Ab ≥ 90 kBAU/L and Ab ≥ 506 kBAU/L, respectively; with Chorus, 96 (75.6%) presented Ab values ≥506 kBAU/L. CLIA and ELISA agreement was 56.7%. At 90 kBAU/L, iRapid self-test and Pro sensitivities were 98.2% (95% CI 92.7-99.8), specificity 69.2% (95% CI 38.6-90.9%) and 76.9% (46.2-95%), respectively. At 506 kBAU/L, iRapid sensitivities were 58.1-91.6%, and specificities, 89-96.6%. On evaluating Ab at <4 and ≥4 months, protective titers had decreased.CONCLUSIONS:
iRapid semi-quantitative devices had very good overall agreements of 95.1% and 95.9% for detecting individuals with low anti-SARS-CoV-2 protection.Keywords
