B Principle of Operation
The Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health device houses all the reagents and hardware to perform the testing process. When the patient sample enters the lysis module, it rehydrates a lyophilized internal process control organism contained within the device. DNA from the sample and the internal process control are released using a combination of chemical lysis and high temperature. The mixture then enters a mixing chamber, where it rehydrates lyophilized PCR reagents, followed by thermocycling to amplify target DNA. If present, the amplified pathogen target (CT, NG, and/or TV) and the amplified internal process control hybridize to specific probes located on a flow cell. Detection of the target-specific PCR product is accomplished via an enzyme-linked colorimetric assay. Successful completion of a test is indicated when a green light appears next to "READY".
The Visby Medical Application runs on a user-provided smartphone. The user downloads the application by scanning a QR code or searching for the application in the iOS App store or the Google Play application store. The user sets up an account and scans an activation code, which launches test-specific step-by-step video and on-screen instructions. At the conclusion of the video instructions, after a 30-minute timer, the user captures an image of the test result using the camera within the Visby Medical Application for automatic test interpretation. If the user performed the test procedure using the printed instructions, the application is used for the test interpretation step. The application also offers the user the option to generate a test report, access educational materials designed to help the user understand the test results, and access to telemedicine.

VI Performance Characteristics:
A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision:
A single-site precision study was conducted to assess the variability of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test across lots, operators, and days. This study was conducted using negative, low positive, and moderate positive blind coded specimens. Device lot testing was randomized by day. The percent positive results for the moderate positive samples were 100% across all analytes, lots, and operators. The percent positive results were 100% for low positive NG and TV samples across all lots and operators, and ≥ 96.9% for low positive CT samples across all lots and operators. The percent positive results for the negative samples were 0% across all analytes, lots, and operators. There were no significant differences observed within run (replicates tested by one operator), between days (12 different days), or between operators (two operators). The lot-to-lot precision study qualitative results (percent positive results and counts) are presented in the table below.

¹ Organism was not available for direct testing and was evaluated using in-silico analysis.
- Organism was also tested for microbial interference
Microbial Interference
Microbial interference with the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test was evaluated using a subset of 10 microorganisms from Table 2 (denoted with a *), chosen based on either their likelihood to be present in a vaginal specimen or their genetic similarity to the assay's target organisms. Interference was tested in the presence of low concentrations, i.e., 3x LoD, of the target organisms. No microbial interference was observed with any of the organisms tested.
Competitive Interference
Performance of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test was evaluated for cases of mixed CT, NG, and/or TV infection. Each of the target organisms was spiked into negative clinical vaginal matrix at varying low (3x LoD) and high (1x10⁶ units/mL) concentration levels and tested in triplicate. No competitive interference was observed when high concentrations of one or two target analytes were present with low concentrations of at least one other target analyte.

5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Shelf-life Stability
A multi-lot kit stability study was conducted to determine the shelf-life of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test kit. All test kits were preconditioned at 45-50°C for either two or four hours to mimic temperature excursions during shipping. Preconditioned kits were evaluated following storage at room temperature (18-22°C), an elevated room temperature (30°C), and at an elevated room temperature with elevated relative humidity (30°C and 75% RH) up to eight months. At two-month intervals, devices from each storage condition were tested with a negative and a low positive sample up to eight months. A false negative CT result was observed at the 4-month time point. The acceptance criteria at subsequent time points (6- and 8-months) were met. The data demonstrate that the finished kit is stable up to 6 months when stored at 18-30°C.
Shipping Stability
A shipping stability study was conducted for a period of 80 hours to evaluate the stability of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test under conditions representing extreme cold and hot temperatures for durations anticipated during a 72-hour shipping period. Samples for testing included an analyte negative pooled clinical vaginal swab sample and a 3x LoD triple analyte positive sample in pooled clinical vaginal swab matrix. Ten devices per sample type (low positive or negative) were tested at baseline, and following the cold temperature profile, and the hot temperature profile. All devices returned the expected negative or triple positive result.
6. Detection Limit:
The Limit of Detection (LoD) of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test was determined using two strains of each target organism. Panel members were produced by individually spiking negative clinical vaginal swab matrix. Each sample was tested in a range-finding study consisting of five concentrations in replicates of 20 per concentration. LoD values were estimated by probit analysis using the results of the range-finding study. The estimated LoD was confirmed by testing of 20 replicates, with at least 19 out of 20 replicates testing positive for each strain.

7. Inclusivity:
The ability of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test to detect 14 CT serovars, 30 NG strains, and 15 TV strains at or near the LoD was evaluated. Each organism was individually spiked into negative clinical vaginal swab matrix at ≤ 2x LoD and tested in three replicates. Strains that were detected at less than 100% were tested at a lower dilution (two-fold) until all three replicates were detected. All 14 CT serovars, 30 NG strains, and 15 TV strains were successfully detected at the following concentrations presented in the tables below.

staff were present but did not influence or interact with the subjects unless intervention was required for safety reasons. One self-collected vaginal swab specimen in Visby Medical Collection Media and four HCP-collected vaginal swab specimens were collected in respective comparator test media from each subject. For CT and NG, the positive comparator result was determined by at least two positive results from FDA-cleared NAATs. For TV, the patient infection status was determined by at least two positive comparator results. The study consisted of 2293 prospectively enrolled lay users from March 2023 to April 2024. Of the 2293 enrolled subjects, 298 subjects were not included because they did not obtain a test result using the Visby smart phone application. Another 50 subjects were excluded due to procedural error or not meeting inclusion criteria, leaving 1945 evaluable subjects. For CT, two additional specimens were excluded that did not have comparator result, leaving 1943 evaluable subjects. There were 75 initial invalid results with the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test (3.8%, 75/1950), including specimens that did not have an initial test result, but a retest result was available. Clinical performance for the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test is summarized in Tables 9, 10, and 11 below.

F Other Supportive Performance Characteristics Data:
Usability and User Comprehension
Device usability/comprehension was assessed in female participants ages 14 to > 61 years old of different backgrounds, across a range of education levels. The first study with 140 lay users evaluated the testing process, from set-up to obtaining test results and lay users' understanding to determine the appropriate next step based on the test result. The results of the usability study demonstrated that the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test is easy to use by lay users.
A second separate study with 31 participants further assessed user comprehension of additional possible results combinations. Testing was conducted in a simulated home environment. Participants were provided with the User Instructions, the FAQ, an iPhone12 with the Visby app
DEN240020 - Page 13 of 19
Page 14
pre-downloaded, and five mock Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test devices with results representing different possible scenarios. An observer recorded successful scenario completion, use errors, close calls, and any observed difficulties. The results of the user label comprehension study demonstrated that the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test is easy to understand by lay users.
FMEA, Residual Risks, and Mitigations
A comprehensive hazard analysis of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971:2019. Risks associated with human factors, sample and device handling, storage, and environmental factors were evaluated. The hazard analyses included identification of the potential hazard, probability of occurrence, probability of a hazardous situation leading to harm, severity of potential harm, hazard control measure(s), and assignment of pre- and post-control risk levels.
A risk value between 1 and 25 was assigned based on the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of harm, with the lower values indicating a lower risk. Risk values of less than 10 were deemed acceptable. A risk mitigation plan was developed for all identified risks. Mitigations were implemented via the following:
• System design to eliminate the error.
• Fail-safes and failure alert mechanisms.
• Labeling to alert users to potential errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
To improve user label comprehension, the labeling includes a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. The FAQ section was created to provide users information to adequately understand the purpose, limitations, and meaning of the test results as well as where users can access additional information regarding chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis pathology and epidemiology. The concepts covered in the FAQ section include:
• The purpose of the test and description of the test and the analyte.
• Who should and who should not use the test (self-selection).
• Significance of the test results.
• When to re-test (e.g., following an invalid result).
• Follow-up for appropriate health management.
Flex Studies
The operational limits of the device were evaluated in a series of studies simulating conditions of use outside of the intended use environment or in instances of user errors. Studies were run by trained operators using a testing panel of contrived samples, unless otherwise noted. Each study also contained a control condition in which tests were run within the specifications indicated by the instructions for use. For most of the test conditions, five replicates were tested per condition.
The results demonstrate that the test is robust to stresses of environmental conditions and potential user errors.

IX Benefit/Risk Assessment:
A Summary of the Assessment of Benefit:
As an OTC device, the probable clinical benefit of this test will be to reach individuals who otherwise would not engage with the healthcare system and therefore increase access to CT/NG/TV diagnostic testing.
B Summary of the Assessment of Risk:
The risks associated with this device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, failure of lay users to correctly interpret the test results, and failure of lay users to correctly operate the device. False-negative results can cause delays in effective treatment and delay entry into medical care, resulting in ongoing chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or trichomoniasis transmission by individuals unaware of their true infection status. False positive results may lead to incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary treatment for STI infection, and delayed diagnosis and treatment of other infections.
