The Solana® Trichomonas Assay is an in vitro diagnostic test, using isothermal amplification technology (helicase-dependent amplification, HDA), for the qualitative detection of Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acids isolated from clinician-collected vaginal swabs and female urine specimens obtained from symptomatic females to aid in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis. The Solana® Trichomonas Assay is intended for use only with the Solana® instrument.
The Solana® Trichomonas Assay amplifies and detects Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acids present in clinician-collected vaginal swabs and urine specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The assay targets a conserved multi-copy sequence of the T. vaqinalis DNA. The vaginal swab is eluted in a swab lysis tube or a urine specimen is added to a urine lysis tube, and the cells in either specimen type are lysed by simple heat treatment. After heat treatment, an aliquot of the lysed specimen is transferred into a dilution tube. An aliquot of the diluted sample is added to a reaction tube. The Reaction Tube contains lyophilized HDA reagents, dNTPs, primers and probes. Once rehydrated with the diluted sample, the Reaction Tube is placed in Solana for amplification and detection of T. vaginalis-specific target sequence. In Solana, the target sequence is amplified by T. vaginalis specific primers and detected by a T. vaginalis specific fluorescence probe included in the Reaction Tube. A competitive process control (PRC) is included in the Lysis Tube to monitor sample processing, inhibitory substances in clinical samples, reagent failure or device failure. The PRC target is amplified by T. vaginalis specific primers and detected by a PRC specific fluorescence probe. The target and PRC probes are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore on the other end. In addition, the target and PRC probes carry a ribonucleic acid. Upon annealing to T. vaqinalis or PRC amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. Solana measures and interprets the fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana instrument will then report the test results to the user on its display screen, and the results can be printed via a printer.
Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on acceptance criteria and study details for the Solana® Trichomonas Assay:
Executive Summary:
The Solana® Trichomonas Assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of Trichomonas vaginalis using isothermal amplification technology (HDA). The device was evaluated in a multi-center clinical study comparing its performance against a composite reference method (Wet Mount and InPouch TV Culture) for both vaginal swab and urine specimens. The study included symptomatic and asymptomatic female patients.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state pre-defined "acceptance criteria" as distinct numerical targets that the FDA required the device to meet for approval. Instead, it presents the "Performance Characteristics" from the clinical study, which are then used to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The comparison table below uses the clinical study results as "reported device performance."
Note: The predicate device comparison table focuses on "Performance Characteristics" as opposed to explicit numerical acceptance criteria. The sensitivity and specificity values observed in the clinical trial would implicitly serve as the benchmark for demonstrating that the device performs as intended and is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Predicate & Guidance) | Reported Device Performance (Solana® Trichomonas Assay) | Specimen Type: Symptom Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaginal Swabs | |||
| Sensitivity | ~98.6% - 100% (from Predicate) | 100% (92.9 to 100) | Asymptomatic |
| 98.6% (92.3 to 99.7) | Symptomatic | ||
| Specificity | ~97.9% - 98.3% (from Predicate) | 98.9% (97.4 to 99.5) | Asymptomatic |
| 98.5% (97.0 to 99.3) | Symptomatic | ||
| Female Urine Specimens | (No predicate for urine data provided) | ||
| Sensitivity | N/A | 98.0% (89.5 to 99.6) | Asymptomatic |
| 92.9% (84.3 to 96.9) | Symptomatic | ||
| Specificity | N/A | 98.4% (96.8 to 99.2) | Asymptomatic |
| 97.9% (96.2 to 98.8) | Symptomatic |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- Vaginal Swabs: 1043 subjects (after re-testing of invalid results).
- Female Urine Specimens: 1044 subjects (after re-testing of invalid results).
- Reproducibility Study (Analytical Performance): 90 samples per category per workflow (swab/urine) across 3 sites (e.g., 90 Low Positive swab samples, 90 Negative swab samples, etc.). This totals to 540 swab samples and 540 urine samples for reproducibility.
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: United States
- Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective. The clinical study was performed from November 2015 through March 2016, and specimens were obtained from each subject after informed consent.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish the ground truth beyond stating that the reference methods for the clinical study were "Wet Mount" and "InPouch TV Culture." These are laboratory-based diagnostic tests, typically performed by trained medical technologists or laboratory personnel, not necessarily "experts" in the sense of physicians or specialists establishing a consensus diagnosis.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Clinical Study: The adjudication method for the clinical study was based on a composite reference method. A specimen was considered positive if either the Wet Mount or the InPouch TV Culture was positive.
- Discordant Analysis: For specimens where the Solana Assay results differed from the composite reference method, an FDA-cleared Trichomonas vaginalis molecular assay was used for further testing (referred to as "discordant testing").
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
- No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned or performed in the context of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. This device is a diagnostic assay (an in vitro diagnostic test) that provides qualitative results directly, not an AI-assisted interpretation by human readers. The clinical study evaluated the device's standalone performance compared to established clinical reference methods.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The Solana® Trichomonas Assay is an automated in vitro diagnostic test that uses "on-board method-specific algorithms" to measure and interpret fluorescent signals and report test results. The clinical study assessed the performance of this device as an algorithm-only system against the composite reference methods.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Clinical Study: The ground truth for the clinical study was established using a composite reference method consisting of:
- Wet Mount
- InPouch TV Culture
A specimen was considered positive if either of these reference tests was positive.
- Analytical Sensitivity (LoD) and Inclusivity Studies: Ground truth was based on quantified strains of T. vaginalis (trophozoite/mL) at known concentrations.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not specify a separate "training set" sample size for the Solana® Trichomonas Assay. This is typical for in vitro diagnostic assays of this nature, where the "training" (development and optimization) of the assay's reagents and algorithms is usually an iterative laboratory process, not based on a distinct clinical training dataset to the same extent as, for example, a machine learning algorithm for image analysis. The clinical evaluation primarily serves as a validation set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As mentioned above, a distinct "training set" with established ground truth in a clinical context is not explicitly described.
- For analytical studies (e.g., LoD, inclusivity): Ground truth was established by using quantified strains of T. vaginalis at known concentrations (e.g., trophozoite/mL) diluted in negative clinical matrix. These known concentrations serve as the "ground truth" for evaluating analytical performance parameters. Development and optimization of the assay would rely on such controlled laboratory experiments.

a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility
In order to confirm the reproducibility of the Solana Trichomonas Assay a blinded and randomized study consisting of the following four-member panel containing Trichomonas vaginalis positive and negative samples was performed: swab workflow - moderate positive (3x LoD), low positive (1x LoD), high negative (1/54x LoD), and a negative sample; urine workflow - moderate positive (3x LoD), low positive (1x LoD), high negative (1/27x LoD), and a negative sample. The testing was performed using appropriate swab or urine workflows at three (3) test sites (one inhouse laboratory and two (2) clinical sites). Each site tested a reproducibility panel and Assay Controls for five (5) days in triplicate. Testing was done by two (2) operators at each site. Each operator ran the panel once a day using one lot of Solana Trichomonas Assay. The testing was performed using both the swab and urine workflows.

Traceability:
Not applicable. This assay is qualitative.
Specimen Stability:
A study was performed to determine the stability of swab and urine samples when stored at 2 to 8°C or 30°C ± 2°C. Contrived positive swab and urine samples (2x LoD) were prepared. The testing time points for the specimens stored at 2° to 8°C were 0, 24, 48, 72, 73 hours, 5, 7, 8 days. The testing time points for the specimens stored at 30°C ± 2°C were 0, 2.5, 6.5, 24, 25, 27, 48, and 49 hours.
Based on the data generated by this study, swab specimens may be stored between 2° to 8°C for up to 7 days prior to testing. Swab specimens may be stored at up to 48-hours at 30°C ± 2°C or below prior to testing.
Based on the data generated by this study, urine specimens may be stored between 2° to 8°C for up to 7 days prior to testing. Urine specimens may be stored at up to 24-hours at 30°C ± 2°C or below prior to testing.
Controls:
Controls (Quidel Molecular Trichomonas Control Set #M119, which contains positive and negative controls, serves as an external processing and extraction control) were run on the Solana * Trichomonas Assay each day of testing. These controls are described as follows:
- a. The internal control is used to detect HDA inhibitory specimens and to confirm the integrity of assay reagents and the operation of the Solana instrument. The internal control is included in the lysis tube.
{12}------------------------------------------------
- b. External assay positive control (e.g. Quidel Molecular Trichomonas Control Set (M119)) serves as the assay positive control. Transfer 50 µL of positive control into a labeled lysis buffer tube and proceed with processing. The external assay positive control is intended to monitor substantial reagent and instrument failure.
- External assay negative control (e.g. Quidel Molecular Trichomonas Control ﻥ Set (M119)) serves as the assay negative control. Transfer 50 µL of negative control into a labeled lysis buffer tube and proceed with processing. The external assay negative control is intended to detect reagent or environment contamination or carry-over by either T. vaginalis DNA or amplicons.
- d. Detection limit:
The analytical sensitivity (limit of detection or LoD) of the Solana Trichomonas Assay was determined using quantified (trophozoite/mL) strains of two (2) T. vaginalis strains, one metronidazole-susceptible G3 and one metronidazole-resistant CDC888 serially diluted in negative clinical matrix. The LOD is defined as the lowest concentration at which 95% of all replicates tested positive.
The strains were freshly grown and quantified using a hemocytometer. The cells were serially diluted in negative clinical matrix to three (3) concentrations at 3×, 1×, and 1/3× in the preliminary LOD determination study.
LoD was confirmed by testing each reference strain with 20 replicates on three reagent lots in the negative vaginal swab and negative urine matrixes.

Clinical Sensitivity: a.
A multi-center study was performed to evaluate Solana Trichomonas Assay using one thousand forty-four (1044) clinician-collected vaginal swab and urine specimens obtained from asymptomatic (n=501) or symptomatic (n=543) patients. The clinician categorized the patients as symptomatic or asymptomatic at the of specimen collection. The study was performed November 2015 through March 2016 at four (4) locations in the United States. Specimens were obtained from each subject after informed consent was obtained. The study was conducted in accord with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Vaginal Swab
For each subject, three (3) vaginal specimens were collected using polyester or rayon Swabs w/ liquid Stuart's, and one (1) vaginal specimen was collected with a collection swab from a FDA-cleared molecular device. The four (4) clinician collected vaginal swabs were used for reference and Solana testing. The first two (2) polyester/rayon swabs were randomized, one swab was tested for the Wet Mount (reference method) and the other swab was used for the InPouch TV Culture (reference method). The third swab was used for testing the Solana Trichomonas Assay. The FDA-cleared molecular device collection swab was used for discordant testing.
All sensitivity and specificity calculations were based on a composite reference method of Wet Mount and InPouch TV culture. A specimen was considered positive if either test was positive.
One thousand forty-four (1044) clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens obtained from asymptomatic (n=501) or symptomatic (n=543) patients were tested by the composite reference method and the Solana Trichomonas Assay. Ten (10) specimens generated invalid results upon initial testing with the Solana Trichomonas Assay (0.96%). These specimens were re-tested according to the instructions provided in the package insert. Nine (9) of these specimens generated valid results upon re-testing (6 negative and 3 positive results), and one (1) specimen generated a second invalid result (0.1%). The table below shows the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the Solana Trichomonas Assay and the prevalence of T. vaginalis (by asymptomatic, symptomatic clinician designations and combined) for the remaining one thousand forty-three (1043) subjects.

N. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
Instrument: Solana Instrument
O. System Descriptions:
1. Modes of Operation:
The Solana instrument heats each reaction tube to 64°C. If present, the target sequence is amplified by T. vaginalis specific primers and detected by a T. vaginalis specific fluorescence probe included in the Reaction Tube. The target probes are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore on the other end. In addition, the target probes carry a ribonucleic acid. Upon annealing to T. vaqinalis amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. The Solana instrument measures and interprets the fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana instrument will then report the test results to the user on its display screen, and the results can be printed via a printer.

§ 866.3860
Trichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid assay.(a)
Identification. ATrichomonas vaginalis nucleic acid assay is a device that consists of primers, probes, enzymes, and controls for the amplification and detection of trichomonas nucleic acids in endocervical swabs, vaginal swabs, and female urine specimens, from women symptomatic for vaginitis, cervicitis, or urethritis and/or to aid in the diagnosis of trichomoniasis in asymptomatic women. The detection of trichomonas nucleic acids, in conjunction with other laboratory tests, aids in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of trichomoniasis caused byTrichomonas vaginalis .(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are set forth in FDA's guideline document entitled: “Class II Special Controls Guideline: Nucleic Acid Amplification Assays for the Detection ofTrichomonas vaginalis; Guideline for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff.” See § 866.1(e) for information on obtaining this document.
