Device Description
The FLU OIA A/B test involves the extraction and detection of a protein antigen unique to influenza A or B (nucleoprotein). The Optical ImmunoAssay technology enables the direct visual detection of a physical change in the optical thickness of molecular thin films. This change is a result of antigen-antibody binding on an optical surface (silicon wafer). When an extracted specimen is placed directly on the optical surface, the immobilized specific antibodies capture the antigen. After washing, the substrate is added, increasing the thickness (mass enhancement) of the molecular thin film. This change in thickness alters the reflected light path and is visually perceived as a color change. Slight changes in optical thickness produce a distinct, visible color change. A positive result appears as a purple spot on the predominant gold background. When antigen is not present in the specimen, no binding takes place. Therefore, the optical thickness remains unchanged and the surface retains the original gold color indicating a negative result.

Summary of Performance Studies
Analytical and Clinical Comparison: Performance characteristics for the original AB FLU OIA assay were initially established in a multi-center study with geographically diverse clinical sites. The analytical sensitivity of the FLU OIA A/B test is equivalent to that of the FLU OIA test, as measured by comparability studies carried out using inactivated virus standards, live virus strains, and a panel of retrospective frozen clinical specimens.
Reproducibility – Inter-Laboratory: Representatives of three POL or clinic sites, and one internal Thermo BioStar site conducted reproducibility testing. Individual panels were prepared, each containing nine blinded specimens and two controls. Each panel was performed on three different occasions, by personnel from the four different laboratories. The samples consisted of throat swabs spiked with negative, low positive, moderate positive, and high positive specimens for each virus type. These samples were spiked onto swabs for analysis. Overall reproducibility for the sample panel was 96.6% across all sites (255/264).
Reproducibility – Intra-Laboratory: Reproducibility of the assay was evaluated by testing specimens at or near the cut-off in multiple replications (n=20). The cut-off was defined as the level of virus at which it would be expected that the assay would be positive 50% of the time and negative 50% of the time.
Clinical Sample Comparison: A retrospective analysis was conducted of previously collected clinical data comparing the FLU OIA test to commercially available cell culture, with confirmation and typing by fluorescent antibody staining. A total of 184 patients were enrolled into the multi-center study. Data available for analysis included 151 specimens that were positive by culture. Of the 151, 129 were confirmed as Influenza A and 22 were confirmed as Influenza B. Sensitivity to Influenza A is calculated as 82.9% (95%C.I. = 75.3-89.0), and sensitivity to Influenza B is calculated as 63.6% (95% C.I.= 40.7-82.8%)
The performance of the FLU OIA A/B assay was also compared to the original FLU OIA assay on 112 retrospective frozen clinical specimens. For positive specimens (4) agreement was 100% (95% Cl = 39.8 -100). Overall agreement was 100% (95% CI = 96.8 - 100).

§ 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.

DEVICE COMPARISON:
Device Technology:
The FLU OIA A/B assay addressed in this submission is identical to the FLU OIA assay previously cleared in that:
- Both assays are rapid diagnostic tests that utilize Optical ImmunoAssay technology ●
- Both assays are used to detect and identify antigen proteins specific to influenza B . infections.
- . Both assays can provide results in less than 20 minutes.
- . Both assays are qualitative.
- Neither assay is intended to detect influenza C . .
The FLU OIA A/B assay differs from the currently marketed FLU OIA assay in that:
- The original FLU OIA assay (K981651) does not differentiate A from B influenza antigens. FLU OIA . A/B allows for the independent identification of viral type B antigens from the same specimen.
