FDA recommended performance thresholds (Pan Ig and IgG): Specificity ≥93%; Sensitivity ≥90%. Data highlighted in bold if below FDA recommended performance thresholds. Sensitivity and specificity analysis were not evaluated for Assay ID 33 due to no reported cutoff value for the assay, and dashes were added to indicate the data was not analyzed. Data analysis was performed prior to harmonization.
