Intended Use
The Verigene Warfarin Metabolism Nucleic Acid Test is an in vitro diagnostic for the detection and genotyping of the *2 and *3 alleles of the CYP2C9 gene and a single-point polymorphism (C to T at position 1173) of the VKORC1 gene, from EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood samples, as an aid in the identification of patients at risk for increased warfarin sensitivity. The test is intended to be used on the Verigene System. The Verigene System is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for processing and genotyping multiple genes in a DNA sample utilizing gold nanoparticle probe technology. The Verigene System consists of the Verigene Processor and the Verigene Reader, each with its own onboard proprietary software.
Device Description
The Verigene System is an in vitro diagnostic device for processing and genotyping multiple genes in a DNA sample. The Verigene System consists of two instruments, the Verigene Processor and the Verigene Reader, and utilizes single-use, disposable Test Cartridges to process and genotype multiple genes in a DNA sample in approximately 1½ hours. The analysis sequence is the same for each of the three tests (i.e., CYP2C9*2 and *3 and VKORC1). After extracted and purified DNA, mixed with hybridization buffer, is loaded into the sample well of the Test Cartridge, it is ready for processing and is inserted into the Verigene Processor. An internal barcode reader reads the cartridge ID and sends the information to the Verigene Reader. From this information, the Verigene Reader establishes the hybridization parameters and starts the hybridization process. The genotyping process occurs with a hybridization of the target analyte to a synthetic gene-specific oligonucleotide capture strand on the Test Cartridge's substrate. A synthetic mediator target-specific oligonucleotide is included with the test-specific sample buffer to form a hybridization "sandwich" with the gene sequence of interest. Washing steps following the target hybridization remove the unbound DNA from the hybridization chamber. A probe, composed of a gold nanoparticle with covalently bound oligonucleotides complementary to a sequence on the intermediate oligonucleotide, is introduced after the target wash. After the probe hybridization is completed, a series of washing steps remove the unbound probe from the hybridization chamber. A two-part signal enhancement reagent is added to the hybridization chamber and reacts with the gold nanoparticle to amplify the signal for the Verigene Reader scanning and analysis. Upon completion of the genotyping process, the user removes the Test Cartridge from the Verigene Processor which is now ready for the next test. Once the reagent portion of the Test Cartridge is removed by the user, the substrate is inserted into the Verigene Reader. The Verigene Reader illuminates the signal-enhanced nanoparticles specifically bound to either the wild type or mutant captures for the gene. A photosensor reads the relative brightness of each spot and the Verigene Reader outputs a result based on relative levels of brightness of the wild type to mutant signals.

Performance

characteristics

In an initial reproducibility study at each of three sites, five genomic DNA samples, covering all possible genotypes for all three alleles, were each tested in triplicate on a daily basis by the same operator for three days. One site performed the same reproducibility testing twice each day, using two different operators. The table below shows the number of samples tested, correct calls, incorrect calls, and percent agreement (or call rate) by locus for each of the three sites.

Initial reproducibility results

*includes 1 pre-insertion error

In a second reproducibility study (see table below) that evaluated three common DNA extraction methods, aliquots of a panel of 23 blood specimens were utilized. At each of the 3 sites, 1 operator extracted the DNA from each of the 23 aliquots of blood and ran the assay. Each site used a different DNA extraction procedure/kit. 3 lots of cartridges were tested. 1 re-test run was performed if there was a "no call" on the first run but no mis-calls were observed. The genotypes of the DNA samples were confirmed by bidirectional sequencing. The genotypes of the 23 samples included:

  • 2C9*2: 18 wild type, 4 heterozygous, 1 mutant
  • 2C9*3: 20 wild type, 3 heterozygous, 0 mutant
  • VKORC1: 9 wild type, 11 heterozygous, 3 mutant

Accuracy (percent agreement compared to bi-directional DNA sequencing) -

A total of 238 samples were analyzed using the Verigene Warfarin Metabolism Nucleic Acid Test at three sites and by bi-directional sequencing analysis at an independent reference laboratory (see results in the tables below). All purified DNA samples were from whole blood collected using EDTA as the anticoagulant. These data are based on the original run only (i.e., no re-testing was performed). Three Verigene cartridges were defective and failed to run due to pre-insertion errors.

The Verigene Warfarin Metabolism Nucleic Acid Test results will be reported only if calls are made for all three targets (i.e., the panel must be complete, based on calls made for CYP2C92, CYP2C93, and VKORC1 calls). If only one or two allele calls are made, the entire test's results are not reported on the screen or printout.

Therefore, from an overall panel view, the total panel read rate was 91.1% (=214/235).

Limit of Detection (analytical sensitivity)-

The table below shows the results of a DNA concentration study. When DNA concentrations outside of the range of 40 ng/pL - 400 ng/pL are studied, no mis-calls are made but the call rate decreases. At 40 ng/μL, the call rate is 92%.

Dear Ms. Kent:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
