More Information

No
The device description focuses on nucleic acid amplification and hybridization technologies for qualitative detection, with no mention of AI or ML. The performance studies describe standard clinical trial methodologies and statistical metrics (sensitivity, specificity, etc.), not AI/ML model evaluation.

No.
The device is for in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of specific rRNA to aid in diagnosis, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is for "qualitative detection and differentiation" of specific RRNA to "aid in the diagnosis of gonococcal and/or chlamydial urogenital disease." This direct reference to aiding in diagnosis makes it a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like a sterile swab and a transport tube containing transport media, which are hardware components. The assay itself is a laboratory test utilizing chemical and biological processes, not solely software.

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 APTIMA Combo 2 Assay is an "in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation" test. This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a test that analyzes biological specimens (swabs and urine) outside of the body to detect specific nucleic acids (rRNA from Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae). This is a core function of an IVD.
  • Clinical Context: The assay is used "to aid in the diagnosis of gonococcal and/or chlamydial urogenital disease," which is a diagnostic purpose.
  • Specimen Types: The device is designed to test various human specimens (endocervical, vaginal, male urethral swabs, and urine).

The APTIMA Vaginal Swab Specimen Collection Kit is an ancillary device used in conjunction with the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay for the collection of specimens, which are then used in the in vitro diagnostic test. Therefore, both components are part of an IVD system.

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

Sample Size: 1,464 symptomatic and asymptomatic female subjects were enrolled. A total of 2,868 C. trachomatis and 2,867 N. gonorrhoeae vaginal swab test results were used in the data analysis. 13 subjects had unknown CT patient infected status and 14 subjects with unknown GC patient infected status, whose results were excluded from calculations.

Data Source: Subjects were enrolled into the clinical study from STD, OB/GYN, teen, and family planning clinics. Specimens collected included one urine specimen, one patient-collected vaginal swab, one clinician-collected vaginal swab, and two randomized endocervical swabs from each subject.

Annotation Protocol:

  • Subject infection status (infected/non-infected with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae) was determined based on a patient infected status algorithm.
  • This algorithm used endocervical swab and urine specimen results from two commercially available Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs): the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay and another commercially available NAAT.
  • Subjects were considered infected if two of the four endocervical swab and urine specimens tested positive (one specimen testing positive in each NAAT).
  • Subjects were considered non-infected if less than two reference NAAT results were positive.
  • Samples that were APTIMA Combo 2 Assay positive and patient infected status negative (apparent false positives) were tested in alternate TMA assays targeting unique sequences, but these results were not used to change the original patient categorizations.

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay

The APTIMA Combo 2 Assay incorporates the technologies of target capture, in vitro nucleic acid amplification, and hybridization of target amplicons with acridinium ester-labeled DNA probes to specifically detect and differentiate both C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae nucleic acids in clinical specimens. GEN-PROBE's proprietary technologies are combined in this product to allow qualitative detection of C. trachomatis rRNA and N. gonorrhoeae rRNA.

Analytical Sensitivity

Chlamydia trachomatis analytical sensitivity (limits of detection) was determined by directly comparing dilutions of C. trachomatis organisms in cell culture and in the assay. The analytical sensitivity claim for the assay is one Inclusion-Forming Unit (IFU) per assay (7.25 IFU/swab, 5 IFU/mL urine) for all 15 C. trachomatis serovars. However, dilutions of less than one IFU/assay of all serovars tested positive in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae analytical sensitivity was determined by directly comparing dilutions of 57 different clinical isolates in culture and in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay. The analytical sensitivity claim for the assay is 50 cells/assay (362 cells/swab, 250 cells/mL urine). However, all strains tested were positive at less than 50 cells/assay.

6

Analytical Specificity

A total of 154 culture isolates were evaluated using the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay. These isolates included 86 organisms that may be isolated from the urogenital tract and 68 additional organisms that represent a phylogenetic cross-section of organisms. The tested organisms included bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites, and viruses. All organisms except C. psittaci, C. pneumoniae, and the viruses were tested at 1.0x106 cells/assay in both swab and urine transport medium. C. psittaci and C. pneumoniae were tested at 1.0x10 TFU/assay. The viruses were tested as follows: (a) herpes simplex viruses I and II: 6.0x104 TCID50/assay, (b) human papilloma virus 16: 2.9x106 DNA copies/assay and (c) cytomegalovirus: 1x106 infected cell culture cells/assay. Only C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae samples produced positive results in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay. The list of organisms tested is shown in the following table.

Recovery

Lactobacillus acidophilus, Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides ureolyticus and Staphylococcus epidermidis (1 x 108 cells/assay) were added to pooled negative vaginal swab samples containing the rRNA equivalent of approximately one C. trachomatis IFU (5 fg) and 50 N. gonorrhoeae cells (250 fg). These additions did not interfere with the amplification and detection of C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae rRNA using the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay.

Vaginal Swab Specimen Clinical Study Results

In the vaginal swab specimen multi-center clinical study, 1,464 symptomatic and asymptomatic female subjects attending STD, OB/GYN, teen, and family planning clinics were enrolled into the clinical study. Subjects were classified as symptomatic if symptoms such as discharge, dysuria, and pelvic pain were reported by the subjects were classified as asymptomatic if the subject did not report symptoms. Of the 646 asymptomatic subjects enrolled in the study, two were less than 16 years of age, 158 were between the ages of 16 and 20, 231 were between the ages of 21 and 25, and 255 were greater than 25 years of age. Of the 818 symptomatic subjects enrolled in the study, 160 were between the ages of 16 and 20, 324 were between the ages of 21 and 25, and 334 were greater than 25 years of age.

Five specimens were collected from each eligible subject; one urine specimen, one patientcollected vaginal swab, one clinician-collected vaginal swab, and two randomized endocervical swabs. APTIMA Combo 2 Assay results were generated from the two vaginal swabs, one of the endocervical swabs, and an aliguot of the urine specimen. The second endocervical swab and a second aliquot of the urine specimen were tested using another commercially-available nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for C. trachomatis and another commercially-available NAAT for N. gonorrhoeae. Endocervical swab and urine specimens tested in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay and the other commercially available NAATs were used as reference NAATs to determine infected status for each subject in the vaginal swab specimen clinical study.

Specimen testing was conducted either at the site of subject enrollment or at an external testing site.

All performance calculations were based on the total number of APTIMA Combo 2 Assay patient- and clinician-collected vaginal swab results compared to a patient infected status algorithm. A total of 2,868 C. trachomatis and 2,867 N. gonorrhoeae vaginal swab test results were used in the data analysis. In the algorithm, the designation of a subject as being infected or not infected with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae was based on endocervical swab and urine specimen results from the commercially-available APTIMA Combo 2 Assay and the other commercially-available NAAT. Subjects were considered infected with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae if two of the four endocervical swab and urine specimens tested positive in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay and the other reference NAAT (one specimen testing positive in each NAAT). Subjects were considered non-infected if less than two reference NAAT results were positive. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the number of results from symptornatic and asymptomatic subjects designated as infected or non-infected with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae, respectively, according to the patient infected status algorithm. For this clinical study, two commercially available NAATs were used to determine GC-infected status. Culture was not used as a reference test since the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay has already been evaluated against culture for other specimen types (refer to K003395).

Sensitivity and specificity for C. trachomatis by gender, specimen type and symptom status are presented in Table 3. Table 4 shows the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for C. trachomatis compared to patient infected status for each clinical site and overall. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of N. gonorrhoeae by gender, specimen type and symptom status are presented in Table 5. Table 6 shows the N. gonorrhoeae sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay compared to patient infected status for each clinical site and overall. Samples that were APTIMA Combo 2 Assay positive and infected patient status negative (i.e., apparent false positives) were tested in alternate TMA assays for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae that targeted sequences unique

from those targeted in APTIMA Combo 2. The results of the alternate TMA assays were not used to change the original patient categorizations (Tables 3 and 5).

Of the 1,464 subjects enrolled, there were 13 subjects with unknown CT patient infected status and 14 subjects with unknown GC patient infected status. Subjects were designated with an unknown patient infected status if results were missing that prevented conclusive determination of infected status. These subjects' results were not included in any performance calculations. Of the 5,782 APTIMA Combo 2 Assay vaginal swab results from the multi-center clinical study, there was a small percentage (28, 0.5%) of vaginal swab specimens that initially tested invalid or equivocal for CT or GC. Upon repeat testing only three C. trachomatis results and two N. gonorrhoeae results were equivocal and were excluded from the analysis. No specimens tested invalid on repeat testing.

Prevalence

The prevalence of C. trachomatis and/or N. gonorrhoeae disease in patient populations depends on risk factors such as age, gender, the presence of symptoms, the type of clinic, and the test method. A summary of the prevalence of three C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae disease outcomes as determined by the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay is shown in Table 7 for the vaginal swab specimen multi-center clinical study by clinical site and overall.

Positive and Negative Predictive Values for Hypothetical Prevalence Rates

The estimated positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) for different hypothetical prevalence rates using the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay are shown in Tables 8 and 9 for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae, respectively. These calculations are based on a hypothetical prevalence and the overall sensitivity and specificity calculated from the patient infected status for two multi-center clinical studies; the endocervical swab, male urethral swab, and urine specimen clinical study and the vaginal swab specimen clinical study. The overall sensitivity and specificity for C. trachomatis was 96.1% and 97.9%, respectively (Table 8). The overall sensitivity and specificity for N. gonorrhoeve was 98.0% and 99.1%, respectively (Table 9). The actual PPV and NPV calculated using the clinical study data are shown in Tables 4 and 6 for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae, respectively

The non-clinical and clinical study results support the use of clinician-collected and patient-collected vaginal swab specimens in the GEN-PROBE APTIMA Combo 2 Assay for the detection of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. The GEN-PROBE APTIMA Vaginal Swab Specimen Collection Kit provides the necessary materials to allow for the testing of clinician-collected or patient-collected vaginal specimens in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay. Use of this ancillary kit broadens the application of the APTMA Combo 2 Assay as a diagnostic tool to provide information that measurably contributes to a diagnosis of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infection.

The results of the clinical study demonstrate reasonable evidence that when the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay and the APTIMA Vaginal Swab Specimen Collection Kit are labeled as proposed, the GEN-PROBE APTIMA Combo 2 Assay is safe and effective for its stated intended use.

Application of the APTIMA Vaginal Swab Specimen Collection kit in the APTIMA Combo 2 Assay provides performance that is substantially equivalent to that of the previously cleared claims (K003395) for the detection of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae which is indicative of it's safety and effectiveness.
