Intended Use
The BD ProbeTec ET Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BD ProbeTec 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. gonorrhoege, or of co-infection with both C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoege. Specimens may be from symptomatic or asymptomatic females and males. A separate Amplification Control is an option for inhibition testing (BD ProbeTec ET CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack). The BD ProbeTec ET CT/GC assays may be performed using either the BD ProbeTec ET System or a combination of the BD ProbeTec ET System and BD Viper instrument. The BD Viper System, when used with BD ProbeTec™ ET amplified nucleic acid assays, is intended for the in vitro detection of targeted organisms from specimens as identified in the assay-specific reagent package insert(s).
Device Description
The BD ProbeTec ET CT/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 DNA in clinical specimens. The BD Viper System is comprised of a standalone lysing heater and a BD Viper Instrument. The BD Viper Instrument is comprised of five major subsystems: robotic pipetting arm, priming and warming heaters (two sets), liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor with touch screen, instrument software and two thermally controlled fluorescent readers.

No
The description focuses on established molecular diagnostic technologies (SDA, ET) and automated laboratory instrumentation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
This device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic" device used for the detection of DNA from specific bacteria to determine the presence of infection. It does not directly provide treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device is intended for "direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA... as evidence of infection," which directly correlates to diagnosing the presence of these infections.

No

The device description explicitly states that the BD Viper System is comprised of hardware components, including a lysing heater, robotic pipetting arm, heaters, LCD monitor, and fluorescent readers, in addition to instrument 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 assays are 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 describes a test performed on biological specimens taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status.
  • Device Description: The description details the use of "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 DNA in clinical specimens." This further confirms that the device is designed to analyze biological samples.
  • BD Viper System Intended Use: The description of the BD Viper System also states it is "intended for the in vitro detection of targeted organisms from specimens". "In vitro" means "in glass" or "in the lab," referring to tests performed outside of the living organism.

These points clearly indicate that the device is used to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples in a laboratory setting, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 866.3390

Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents.(a)
Identification. Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identifyNeisseria spp. from cultured isolates. Additionally, some of these reagents consist ofNeisseria spp. antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) which may be used to detect the presence ofNeisseria spp. directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genusNeisseria, such as epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, meningococcal disease, and gonorrhea, and also provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these microorganisms. The device does not include products for the detection of gonorrhea in humans by indirect methods, such as detection of antibodies or of oxidase produced by gonococcal organisms.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
