Intended Use
The Thermo Electron CT OIA assay is an Optical ImmunoAssay (OIA) test for the rapid, qualitative detection of chlamydial antigen from female endocervical swab specimens. This test is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in identifying the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen. The assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use with symptomatic females in populations at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. CT OIA test results are presumptive evidence for either the presence or absence of C. trachomatis. Definitive laboratory evidence for the presence/ absence of C. trachomatis would need additional testing. CT OIA test results should not preclude empiric treatment of women with overt symptoms of PID. Performance for use in asymptomatic male and female populations has not been established.
Device Description
The CT OIA test involves the qualitative extraction of antigen specific to the Chlamydia genus. 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.

Not Found

No
The device description details a chemical and optical reaction for detection, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions and training/test set descriptions further support this.

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test for detecting chlamydial antigen, which aids in diagnosis rather than directly treating or preventing disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in identifying the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen." It also mentions "CT OIA test results are presumptive evidence for either the presence or absence of C. trachomatis," all of which point to a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that relies on a physical chemical reaction on a silicon wafer to produce a visual color change, indicating the presence or absence of an antigen. This involves physical components and chemical reagents, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The document explicitly states the test is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid in identifying the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen." This is the primary indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details a test performed on a biological specimen (female endocervical swab specimens) outside of the body ("in vitro") to detect a specific analyte (chlamydial antigen).
  • Clinical Studies and Performance Metrics: The document provides data from clinical studies evaluating the performance of the test (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) against other laboratory tests (LCx, PCR). This is typical for IVD devices undergoing regulatory review.
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The intended users (physician office laboratories, central hospital labs) are settings where in vitro diagnostic testing is performed.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A study was conducted comparing the CT OIA test to a commercially available LCx nucleic acid amplification test for C. trachomatis. Secondary confirmation testing of positive OIA was done by a commercially available PCR test. A total of 1725 paients were enrolled into a multicenter study testing for both chlamydia and gonorrhoeae antigens, in male and female patients. For the purposes of this submission, data is presented from the 885 female patients cnrolled. A total of 118 patients were excluded during the analysis, resulting in data from a otal of 767 asymptomatic and symptomatic female patients included in the final analysis.

The CT OIA assay was evaluated versus LCx at four clinical trial sites (central hospital labs) located in the Northwest, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States. A total of 885 female patients suspected of having, or with a history of C. trachomatis were evaluated by the CT OIA test as compared to the LCx test method.

Identification. Chlamydia serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to chlamydia in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of chlamydia antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify chlamydia directly from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genusChlamydia and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Chlamydia are the causative agents of psittacosis (a form of pneumonia), lymphogranuloma venereum (a venereal disease), and trachoma (a chronic disease of the eye and eyelid).(b)

Principle of the Test:

The CT OIA test involves the qualitative extraction of antigen specific to the Chlamydia genus. 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.

8.0 510(k) SUMMARY (page 2 of 3)

DEVICE COMPARISON:

The CT OIA assay is similar to the Chlamydia OIA assay method in that:

1

  • Both assays are rapid diagnostic tests that utilize Optical Immunoassay technology ●
  • Both assays are used to detect and identify lipopolysaccharide antigen specific to Chlamydia genus. .
  • Both assays detect lipopolysaccharide antigen specific to Chlamydia genus in female endocervical swabs .
  • Both assays can provide results in less than 30 minutes. .
  • . Both assays are qualitative.

The CT OIA assay differs from the currently marketed Chlamydia OLA in that:

  • CT OIA assay procedure has been revised and streamlined from that recommended for the original Chalamydia . test
  • The CT OIA test clinical performance has been compared to the LCR (Ligase Chain Reaction) assay as a . reference method, whereas the original test was compared against microbiology culture.
