Intended Use

The BDProbeTec™ ET Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BDProbeTec™ ET System, use Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA) technology for the direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and in female and male urine specimens as evidence of infection with C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, or of co-infection with C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Specimens may be from symptomatic or asymptomatic males and females. A separate Amplification Control is an option for inhibition testing (BDProbeTec™ ET CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack).

Device Description

The BDProbeTecTM ET Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) amplified DNA assays utilize homogeneous SDA technology as the amplification method and fluorescent energy transfer (ET) as the detection method to test for the presence of CT and GC in clinical specimens. For each assay, the SDA reagents are dried in two separate microwell strips. First, the processed sample is added to the Priming Microwell which contains the amplification primers, fluorescent labeled detector probe, and other reagents necessary for amplification. However, because no enzymes are present in the priming microwell strips, no amplification occurs at this step. After incubation, the reaction mixture is transferred to the Amplification Microwell, which contains two enzymes (a DNA polymerase and a restriction endonuclease) necessary for SDA. It is in this latter microwell in which amplification and detection occurs. The Amplification Microwells are sealed to prevent contamination and then incubated in a thermally controlled fluorescent reader which monitors each test well for the generation of amplified products. The presence or absence of CT and GC is determined by relating the BDProbeTec™ ET MOTA (Method Other Than Acceleration) scores for the sample to pre-determined cutoff values. The MOTA score is a metric used to assess the magnitude of signal generated as a result of the reaction. If the CT/GC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in two discrete microwells: C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive or negative. If the CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in three discrete microwells: C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and the Amplification Control. The purpose of the Amplification Control is to identify a sample that may inhibit the SDA reaction. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive, negative, or indeterminate.

Reference Devices

Not Found

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description details a chemical amplification and detection process (SDA and ET) and uses a pre-determined cutoff value for a calculated metric (MOTA score) to determine results. While it mentions an "algorithm" for reporting results, this appears to be a simple rule-based system based on the MOTA score and cutoff, not a complex learning algorithm characteristic of AI/ML. There is no mention of training data, model development, or any other indicators of AI/ML.

Therapeutic

No
This device is a diagnostic tool used for qualitative detection of DNA, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Diagnostic

Yes
The device is described as providing "direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA...as evidence of infection," which directly indicates its use for diagnosing these infections.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description clearly outlines the use of physical reagents (dried in microwell strips), enzymes, and a thermally controlled fluorescent reader for amplification and detection. While software is used to process the data (MOTA scores and algorithms), the core functionality relies on physical and chemical processes and hardware components.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the device is for the "direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and in female and male urine specimens as evidence of infection". This involves testing biological specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a person's health status (presence of infection).
Device Description: The description details the process of testing clinical specimens using laboratory techniques (SDA technology, fluorescent energy transfer, microwells, enzymes, thermal incubation, fluorescent reader). This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies where the device's performance (sensitivity and specificity) was evaluated using clinical specimens. This is a standard requirement for demonstrating the effectiveness of an IVD.
Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices like "Neisseria gonorrhoeae culture" and "Abbott LCx® Neisseria gonorrhoeae Assay" further confirms its classification as an IVD, as these are also IVD devices used for similar diagnostic purposes.

Device Description

For each assay, the SDA reagents are dried in two separate microwell strips. First, the processed sample is added to the Priming Microwell which contains the amplification primers, fluorescent labeled detector probe, and other reagents necessary for amplification. However, because no enzymes are
present in the priming microwell strips, no amplification occurs at this step. After incubation, the reaction mixture is transferred to the Amplification Microwell, which contains two enzymes (a DNA polymerase and a restriction endonuclease) necessary for SDA. It is in this latter microwell in which amplification and detection occurs. The Amplification Microwells are sealed to prevent contamination and then incubated in a thermally controlled fluorescent reader which monitors each test well for the generation of amplified products. The presence or absence of CT and GC is determined by relating the BDProbeTec™ ET MOTA (Method Other Than Acceleration) scores for the sample to pre-determined cutoff values. The MOTA score is a metric used to assess the magnitude of signal generated as a result of the reaction.

If the CT/GC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in two discrete microwells: C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive or negative. If the CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in three discrete microwells: C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, and the Amplification Control. The purpose of the Amplification Control is to identify a sample that may inhibit the SDA reaction. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive, negative, or indeterminate.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

CLINICAL STUDIES:
Performance characteristics for the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assays were initially established in a multicenter study at seven geographically diverse clinical sites. The final data analysis included 4108 CT and 4105 GC specimens collected from 2109 patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics, OB/GYN clinics, family planning clinics, adolescent clinics, and emergency rooms. In this study, the seven sites collected 183 and 184 asymptomatic male GC swab and urine specimens, respectively.

To supplement the asymptomatic male GC data, a similar study was conducted at three clinical sites: one of which participated in the original evaluation. The study included collecting asymptomatic male urethral swab and urine specimens. A total of 987 specimens collected from 519 patients were used in the data analysis. Results were pooled with the specimens collected in the original study.

BDProbeTec™ ET N. gonorrohoeae results were compared to culture and patient infected status (for this study, patient infected status was defined as a patient with a positive GC culture). Sensitivity for asymptomatic male urethral swabs and male urines was 95.5% and 100%, respectively. Specificity for asymptomatic male urethral swabs and male urines was 99.4% and 99.5%, respectively.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Sensitivity for asymptomatic male urethral swabs and male urines was 95.5% and 100%, respectively. Specificity for asymptomatic male urethral swabs and male urines was 99.4% and 99.5%, respectively.
