Intended Use
The Influenza A/B Rapid Test is a qualitative immunoassay for the rapid detection of Influenza A/B viral antigens from throat swab or nasal swab specimens. This test is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use to aid in the diagnosis of Influenza infections, and to gather epidemiological information for detection of Influenza outbreaks. When used for diagnosis, negative assay results should be confirmed by cell culture. This assay does not detect the presence of Influenza C viral antigens.
Device Description
The Influenza A/B Rapid Test consists of swabs, reaction cups, test strips, and reagent solutions. The test detects the viral nucleoprotein associated with the viral nucleic acid. The nucleoprotein is released by lysing the virus envelop with the lysis/elution solution. Since the nucleoprotein is type specific only (not subtype specific), the test uses two pairs of monoclonal antibodies - one pair is specific for Influenza A, the other is specific for Influenza B. The antibody pairs are conjugated to either biotin or digoxigenin. In the presence of the viral antigen, a sandwich complex is formed, consisting of the biotin-conjugated antibody, the nucleoprotein, and the digoxigeninconjugated antibody. When the test strip is placed in the reaction cup, the complex migrates chromatographically, solubilizing colloidal gold particles incorporated in the red pad of the strip. The colloidal gold particles bind to the digoxigenin of the complex, which is then bound by the biotin to the immobilized streptavidin on the strip (positive result line). Any excess gold particles continue to migrate to the second line (control line), which then becomes visible. This indicates the correct chromatographic migration. The test reagent formulation has been modified slightly to produce improved specificity, and allow the use of nasal swab samples.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as swabs, reaction cups, test strips, and reagent solutions, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic test, not software-only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the test is intended for "professional in vitro diagnostic use to aid in the diagnosis of Influenza infections".
  • Device Description: The description details how the test works by detecting viral antigens in biological specimens (throat or nasal swabs) in vitro (outside of the body).
  • Intended User / Care Setting: It specifies "professional in vitro diagnostic use", further confirming its intended purpose.

The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device clearly fits that definition.

§ 866.3328 Influenza virus antigen detection test system.

(a)
Identification. An influenza virus antigen detection test system is a device intended for the qualitative detection of influenza viral antigens directly from clinical specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The test aids in the diagnosis of influenza infection and provides epidemiological information on influenza. Due to the propensity of the virus to mutate, new strains emerge over time which may potentially affect the performance of these devices. Because influenza is highly contagious and may lead to an acute respiratory tract infection causing severe illness and even death, the accuracy of these devices has serious public health implications.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device's sensitivity and specificity performance characteristics or positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement, for each specimen type claimed in the intended use of the device, must meet one of the following two minimum clinical performance criteria:
(i) For devices evaluated as compared to an FDA-cleared nucleic acid based-test or other currently appropriate and FDA accepted comparator method other than correctly performed viral culture method:
(A) The positive percent agreement estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 80 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 70 percent.
(B) The negative percent agreement estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 95 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 90 percent.
(ii) For devices evaluated as compared to correctly performed viral culture method as the comparator method:
(A) The sensitivity estimate for the device when testing for influenza A must be at the point estimate of at least 90 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 80 percent. The sensitivity estimate for the device when testing for influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 80 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 70 percent.
(B) The specificity estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 95 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 90 percent.
(2) When performing testing to demonstrate the device meets the requirements in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, a currently appropriate and FDA accepted comparator method must be used to establish assay performance in clinical studies.
(3) Annual analytical reactivity testing of the device must be performed with contemporary influenza strains. This annual analytical reactivity testing must meet the following criteria:
(i) The appropriate strains to be tested will be identified by FDA in consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and sourced from CDC or an FDA-designated source. If the annual strains are not available from CDC, FDA will identify an alternative source for obtaining the requisite strains.
(ii) The testing must be conducted according to a standardized protocol considered and determined by FDA to be acceptable and appropriate.
(iii) By July 31 of each calendar year, the results of the last 3 years of annual analytical reactivity testing must be included as part of the device's labeling. If a device has not been on the market long enough for 3 years of annual analytical reactivity testing to have been conducted since the device received marketing authorization from FDA, then the results of every annual analytical reactivity testing since the device received marketing authorization from FDA must be included. The results must be presented as part of the device's labeling in a tabular format, which includes the detailed information for each virus tested as described in the certificate of authentication, either by:
(A) Placing the results directly in the device's § 809.10(b) of this chapter compliant labeling that physically accompanies the device in a separate section of the labeling where the analytical reactivity testing data can be found; or
(B) In the device's label or in other labeling that physically accompanies the device, prominently providing a hyperlink to the manufacturer's public Web site where the analytical reactivity testing data can be found. The manufacturer's home page, as well as the primary part of the manufacturer's Web site that discusses the device, must provide a prominently placed hyperlink to the Web page containing this information and must allow unrestricted viewing access.
(4) If one of the actions listed at section 564(b)(1)(A)-(D) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act occurs with respect to an influenza viral strain, or if the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) determines, under section 319(a) of the Public Health Service Act, that a disease or disorder presents a public health emergency, or that a public health emergency otherwise exists, with respect to an influenza viral strain:
(i) Within 30 days from the date that FDA notifies manufacturers that characterized viral samples are available for test evaluation, the manufacturer must have testing performed on the device with those viral samples in accordance with a standardized protocol considered and determined by FDA to be acceptable and appropriate. The procedure and location of testing may depend on the nature of the emerging virus.
(ii) Within 60 days from the date that FDA notifies manufacturers that characterized viral samples are available for test evaluation and continuing until 3 years from that date, the results of the influenza emergency analytical reactivity testing, including the detailed information for the virus tested as described in the certificate of authentication, must be included as part of the device's labeling in a tabular format, either by:
(A) Placing the results directly in the device's § 809.10(b) of this chapter compliant labeling that physically accompanies the device in a separate section of the labeling where analytical reactivity testing data can be found, but separate from the annual analytical reactivity testing results; or
(B) In a section of the device's label or in other labeling that physically accompanies the device, prominently providing a hyperlink to the manufacturer's public Web site where the analytical reactivity testing data can be found. The manufacturer's home page, as well as the primary part of the manufacturer's Web site that discusses the device, must provide a prominently placed hyperlink to the Web page containing this information and must allow unrestricted viewing access.
