Participant Flow

US blood donors specimens collected as part of routine blood donation (Specificity: 16313, Extended: 25549). Additional specimens included: 204 T cruzi antibody positive US blood donor; 110 parasite positive, 85 antibody positive, 525 Chagas endemic; and 330 unidentified US blood donor presumed T cruzi antibody negative were provided by Abbott.

All subjects were assigned to one group and tested with the PRISM Chagas assay. There were no pre-screening criteria. Specimens repeatedly reactive with the screening assay were further evaluated with ESA Chagas. The 330 unidentified US blood donor specimens presumed T cruzi antibody negative were only tested with ESA Chagas.

Population: A total of 58 US blood donor specimens were PRISM Chagas repeatedly reactive were included per protocol.

A total of 41,760 US blood donor specimens were tested by ABBOTT PRISM Chagas. Of these specimens, 58 out of 79 specimens were T cruzi antibody repeatedly reactive by ABBOTT PRISM Chagas (26 from 16,249 donor specimens tested in design validation phase and 32 from 25,511 specimens from the Chagas extended evaluation). Donor specimens that were repeatedly reactive with the licensed T cruzi antibody assay, but PRISM Chagas nonreactive (6) and specimens PRISM Chagas grayzone negative (15) were excluded from this analysis.
