Intended Use

The xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP: Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

xTAG RVP can also differentiate the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of some Influenza A subtypes H1 and H3 strains. Differentiation of Influenza A HA subtypes is based on both a positive result for the Influenza A matrix gene and an accompanying positive result for the Influenza A HA subtype H1 (circulating prior to the emergence of 2009 H1N1pdm) or Influenza A HA subtype H3. This device cannot differentiate the Influenza A HA subtype 2009 H1N1pdm by design, and may not be able to differentiate potential newly emerging Influenza A HA subtypes.

Device Description

The modified RVP is a PCR-based test system for detecting the presence / absence of viral DNA / RNA in clinical specimens. The modified device is the same as the predicate device, except for a reformulation of the PCR primer mix.

AI/ML Overview

The Luminex xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test designed for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs. The device was modified to improve reactivity to influenza A/H3 strains. The study referenced primarily focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the modified device to its predicate devices, especially concerning the improved detection of Influenza A H3.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria in terms of specific percentages for Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) to consider the device successful. However, the performance metrics observed in the clinical comparison study serve as the reported device performance, and the FDA's clearance implies these results were acceptable for demonstrating substantial equivalence. The key comparison is between the modified xTAG RVP and the original xTAG RVP, as well as against sequencing for Influenza A H3.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: A total of 369 retrospectively collected left-over clinical samples (nasopharyngeal swabs) were used for the clinical comparison studies (accuracy).
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: The samples were collected from 14 clinical sites in the United States and Canada.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: The samples were retrospectively collected (primarily from the 2010-2011 influenza season).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the clinical comparison test set. The ground truth for direct comparisons between the original and modified RVP was the original RVP's result. For Influenza A H3 subtyping, bi-directional sequencing was used as the ground truth. This process typically involves laboratory personnel but does not necessarily imply "expert" adjudication in the clinical sense with specific qualifications mentioned in the document.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

The document does not describe an adjudication method involving multiple human readers (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The primary comparison in the clinical study was between the modified device and the original device, and for Influenza A H3, against sequencing results. This is a direct comparison of assay results, not a process of adjudicating differing human interpretations.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This device is a molecular diagnostic test for detecting viral nucleic acids, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device that a human reader would interpret. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improving with AI vs without AI assistance" is not applicable.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the performance presented in the tables for both the modified and original xTAG RVP are standalone (algorithm only) performances. These are in vitro diagnostic tests, where the instrument and reagents provide a result (qualitative positive/negative), without human interpretive "reading" in the way an imaging study would be read. The comparison to sequencing for Influenza A H3 also represents a standalone assessment against a molecular gold standard.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth used depends on the specific comparison:

  • For demonstrating equivalence across most targets: The results from the original xTAG RVP assay served as the comparator (ground truth) for evaluating the modified xTAG RVP's performance.
  • For Influenza A H3 subtyping: Bi-directional sequencing was used as the definitive ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not explicitly describe a training set sample size for the device itself. For molecular diagnostic tests, "training" often refers to internal development and optimization by the manufacturer using various known positive and negative controls and clinical samples, rather than a distinct, quantifiable "training set" in the context of machine learning. The focus of this submission is on the performance of a reformulated PCR primer mix and its equivalence to a predicate device, as demonstrated through analytical and clinical comparison studies.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As there is no distinct "training set" explicitly identified or described in the context of machine learning or algorithm development for this molecular diagnostic device in this document, the method for establishing its ground truth is not detailed. The development process would have involved establishing the analytical accuracy of the primers against known viral strains, which would implicitly form the "ground truth" for ensuring the primer mix works as intended.

Intended Use:

The xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP: Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

xTAG RVP can also differentiate the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of some Influenza A subtypes H1 and H3 strains. Differentiation of Influenza A HA subtypes is based on both a positive result for the Influenza A matrix gene and an accompanying positive result for the Influenza A HA subtype H1 (circulating prior to the emergence of 2009 H1N1pdm) or Influenza A HA subtype H3. This device cannot differentiate the Influenza A HA subtype 2009 H1N1pdm by design, and may not be able to differentiate potential newly emerging Influenza A HA subtypes.

Luminex Molecular Diagnostics

Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g. bacterial culture, immunofluorescence, radiography) and clinical presentation must be taken into consideration in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection.

Negative results do not preclude respiratory virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions.

The RVP assay cannot adequately detect Adenovirus species C, or serotypes 7a and 41. It is recommended that specimens found to be negative for Adenovirus after examination using RVP be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g., FDA cleared molecular test or cell culture). The RVP primers for detection of rhinovirus cross-react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. cell culture).

Performance characteristics for Influenza A virus were established when Influenza A HA subtype H3, subtype H1 (prior to the emergence of 2009 H1N1pdm), and when subtype 2009 H1N1pdm were the predominant Influenza A in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to a state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

Table 4: Comparison of (LoD) for Influenza A H3 between Modified and Original RVP

*Note: This LoD level was achieved with 22 out of 22 replicates making the correct Flu A Matrix POS call. At 0.1347 TCID30/mL (one dilution below 0.5388 TCID5/mL level), 18 out of 22 replicates made the correct Flu A Matrix POS call with the original xTAG RVP assay. The remaining 4 replicates displayed MFI values of 226, 295, 249, 219, just below the cut-off, thus generating "No Call" results for Flu A Matrix.

In addition, the limit of detection study compared the LoD of the modified xTAG RVP assay with the original xTAG RVP assay for all targets in the RVP panel using one strain for each target (Table 5). For each strain, 20 replicates of the dilutions at the estimated LoD level and at least the two bracketing levels were tested.

Parainfluenza 3 demonstrated a low-level influenza A signal; Enterovirus (Echo 13) and Enterovirus (Coxsackie B) showed an Adenovirus signal; and Adenovirus (Type 1. Adenoid 71) showed an H3 (but not influenza A matrix) signal.

For the reactivity study, the initial stocks were diluted to approximately 2x to 3x the LoD established for the two reference strains in the LoD study. At least three replicates per strain were evaluated starting from the extraction step with both original and modified xTAG `RVP assays. Both were able to successfully detect all five H3 strains tested (see Table 8).

Competitive Inhibition Study

The combinations of analytes tested in the competitive inhibition study are listed in Table 11. Each analyte was tested at two different concentrations, High Positive (HP, approximately at 1.3 to 4-fold dilution of the original stock) and Low Positive (LP, approximately at 2 to 4 times LoD for that analyte). The results show that the modifications made to the device did not inhibit the detection of the competing analytes. The performance of the Original and Modified devices was equivalent. All expected positive calls were present.

A total of 369 retrospectively collected left-over clinical samples (nasopharyngeal swabs) obtained primarily from the 2010-2011 influenza season were collected from 14 clinical sites in the United States and Canada. To preserve the confidentiality of the subjects, clinical specimens were individually numbered so the identity of the subject could not be readily ascertained by the investigator or any other individual associated with the study. Nucleic acid extraction was performed either by the clinical site or at Luminex Molecular Diagnostics (LMD), using one of the following methods: BioMerieux EasyMAG, BioMerieux MiniMAG or QIAGEN MinElute Viral Spin Kit, as directed in the instructions for use of the original device. Extracted samples were stored frozen at a temperature of -70℃ until used in the study.

All Flu A matrix positive samples (158) from either the original or modified xTAG "RVP device were bi-directionally sequenced for Flu A subtype H3. 132 of the 158 samples were found to be Flu A H3 sequence positive (see Table 13), leaving 26 samples that were Flu A H3 sequence negative. Four out of these 26 Flu A H3 sequencing negative samples were H1 positive by both the original RVP and the modified RVP assays. Three samples out of the 26 did not have adequate sample left over and therefore could not be sequenced. The remaining 19 samples (4+3+19=26) were sequenced with an in-house designed set of 2009 H1N1pdm primers and the majority of these samples (13) were 2009 H1N1pdm positive.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known): K112781

xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) Device Name:

The xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP: Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A. Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B. Parainfluenza 1. Parainfluenza 2. and Parainfluenza 3 virus. Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

xTAG RVP can also differentiate the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of some Influenza A subtypes H1 and H3 strains. Differentiation of Influenza A HA subtypes is based on both a positive result for the Influenza A matrix gene and an accompanying positive result for the Influenza A HA subtype HI (circulating prior to the emergence of 2009 HIN1pdm) or Influenza A HA subtype H3. This device cannot differentiate the Influenza A HA subtype 2009 H1N1pdm by design, and may not be able to differentiate potential newly emerging Influenza A HA subtypes.

Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection, or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g. bacterial culture, immunofluorescence, radiography) and clinical presentation must be taken into consideration in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection.

Negative results do not preclude respiratory virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions.

The RVP assay cannot adequately detect Adenovirus species C, or serotypes 7a and 41. It is recommended that specimens found to be negative for Adenovirus after examination using RVP be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g., FDA cleared molecular test or cell culture). The RVP primers for detection of rhinovirus cross-react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. cell culture).

Performance characteristics for Influenza A virus were established when Influenza A-HA subtype H3, subtype H1 (prior to the emergence of 2009 H1N1pdm), and when subtype 2009 H1N1pdm were the predominant Influenza A in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to a state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
