Intended Use
The Diagnostic Hybrids, Inc. device, D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit, is intended for the qualitative detection and identification of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs and aspirates/washes or cell culture. The assay detects hMPV antigens by immunofluorescence using a blend of three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), from patients with signs and symptoms of acute respiratory infection. This assay detects but is not intended to differentiate the four recognized genetic sub-lineages of hMPV. Negative results do not preclude hMPV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. It is recommended that specimens found to be negative after examination of the direct specimen results be confirmed by an FDA cleared hMPV molecular assay.
Device Description
The D DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit uses a blend of three hMPV antigen-specific murine MAbs that are directly labeled with fluorescein for detection of hMPV. The reagent detects but does not differentiate between the four recognized subtypes of hMPV (subtypes A1, A2, B1, and B2). Kit Components: - 1. Metapneumovirus DFA Reagent, 5-mL. One dropper bottle containing a blend (see below for MAb discussion) of fluorescein-labeled murine monoclonal antibodies directed against MPV. The buffered, stabilized, aqueous solution contains Evans Blue as a counter-stain and 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative. - 2. hMPV Antigen Control Slides, 5 slides. Five individually packaged control slides, each with a well containing cell culture-derived MPV positive cells and a well containing cell culture-derived negative cells. Each slide is intended to be stained only one time. Control material has been treated to be non-infectious; however normal laboratory precautions are required when the material is handled. - 3. 40X PBS Concentrate, 25-mL. One bottle containing a 40X concentrate consisting of 4% sodium azide (0.1% sodium azide after dilution to 1X using de-mineralized water) in PBS. - 4. Mounting Fluid, 7-mL. One dropper bottle containing an aqueous, buffer-stabilized solution of glycerol and 0.1% sodium azide. The cells to be tested, derived from a clinical specimen or cell culture, are placed onto a glass slide, allowed to air dry and are fixed in acetone. The Metapneumovirus DFA Reagent is added to the cells which are then incubated for 15 to 30 minutes at 35℃ to 37℃ in a humidified chamber or humidified incubator. The stained cclls are then washed with the diluted phosphate buffered saline (PBS), a drop of the supplied Mounting Fluid is added and a coverslip is placed on the prepared cells. The cells are examined using a fluorescence microscope. The hMPV infected cells will fluoresce apple-green. Uninfected cells will contain no fluorescence but will be stained red by the Evans Blue counter-stain. It is recommended that specimens found to contain no fluorescent cells after examination of the direct specimen be confirmed by an FDA cleared hMPV molecular assay.

Analytical sensitivity:
The analytical detection limits on direct specimens for the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit were addressed using quantified cultures of characterized isolates of each of the 4 recognized genetic sublineages of hMPV (A1, A2, B1, and B2). The infected culture cells from a 1,000 infected cells/mL culture were serially diluted with a suspension of uninfected LLC-MK2 cells. 25-µL aliquots from each dilution level were spotted onto 10 replicate microscope slides, then fixed and stained according to the instructions for use described in this product insert. Each cell spot was examined at 200x magnification. Results were reported as numbers of positive replicates for each set of 10. Analytical detection limits for each of the 4 hMPV genetic sublineages were defined as the lowest dilutions at which at least 9 out of 10 replicates were detected.

Detection limit on cell culture amplified specimens of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit was addressed using a cell culture system. Analytical detection limits on cell culture amplified specimens for hMPV subtypes A1, A2, B1, and B2 were established with results reported in numbers of fluorescent cells per cell monolayer. Each master stock virus preparation was diluted in a ten-fold manner. Eight wells of a 48-well R-Mix cell culture plate were inoculated with 0.2-mL volumes of each dilution. The plates were centrifuged at 700 xg for 60 minutes, and then incubated at 35°C to 37°C for 48-hours. Each well was stained with the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit then examined at 200x magnification and the number of fluorescent cells counted. In this study, the detection limit for the test on cell culture amplified specimens is defined as the lowest inoculum level at which positive wells (i.e. containing fluorescent cells) are observed, in terms of TCID50.

Reproducibility:
Assay reproducibility was assessed at 3 laboratory sites with a panel of proficiency-level antigen control slides. The reproducibility panel consisted of 5 panel members. Each panel member was a 2-well slide spotted with the same cell preparation in each well. The cell preparations used to construct the slides are the following:

  1. Non-infected LLC-MK2 cells.
  2. Low level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 4 to 10% infected cells).
  3. Mid level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 20 to 30% infected cells).
  4. High level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 50 to 75% infected cells).

Each panel was tested daily in two separate runs for 5-days by three different laboratories (30 total runs). The panel members were randomized with different slide identification numbers to act as a "blinded" panel. An hMPV Antigen Control Slide (two-well slide, one well contains cell culture-derived hMPV positive cells and one well contains cell culture-derived negative cells) was stained according to the D-DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit instructions for use with each run. The following results were recorded for both the control slides and the panel slides:

  1. Presence or absence of green fluorescence.
  2. Percent of cells exhibiting green fluorescence.

A single lot of D MPV Kit was used. A total of 210 data points were included in the reproducibility study data analysis (7 samples and controls/run X 2 runs/day X 5 days X 3 sites = 210).

Clinical Performance:
Performance characteristics of the DHI D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit testing direct respiratory specimens were established during prospective studies at 3 geographically diverse U.S. clinical laboratories during the 2005 and 2006 respiratory virus seasons (December 2005 - April 2006 and December 2006 -March 2007). All specimens used in the studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria represented excess, remnants of respiratory specimens that were prospectively collected from symptomatic individuals suspected of respiratory infection, and were submitted for routine care or analysis by each site, and that otherwise would have been discarded. Individual specimens were delinked from all patient identifiers and given a study sample code. All clinical sites were granted waivers of informed consent by their IRBs for this study.

Performance of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit was assessed and compared to a predetermined algorithm that used composite comparator methods at clinical study site 1 and 2. The composite comparator methods consisted of viral culture and a validated real-time RT-PCR comparator assay targeting the hMPV nucleocapsid gene followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis. "True" hMPV positive was defined as any sample that either tested positive by viral culture, or had bi-directional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria that matched hMPV sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with acceptable Evalues . "True" hMPV negative was defined as any sample that tested negative by both viral culture and the hMPV real-time RT-PCR comparator assay.

Performance of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit at clinical study site 3 was evaluated and compared only to the validated hMPV real-time RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis comparator assay described above. Any sample that had bi-directional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria that matched hMPV sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with acceptable E-values, was considered as hMPV positive, and the real-time hMPV RT-PCR comparator assay negatives were considered as hMPV negatives at this site.

  • Study Site 1:
    Study Site 1 evaluated a total of 1564 fresh respiratory specimens submitted, December 2006 through March 2007, to the laboratory for respiratory virus testing. Slides were prepared from Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)-washed cells from the fresh specimens and fixed according to the prescribed protocol. The slides were stained in accordance with the procedure in the product insert.
    Of the 1564 fresh respiratory specimens tested, 1509 were nasal wash/nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens. 27 were further excluded from the performance analysis due to insufficient volume for the comparator methods, resulting in a total of 1482 fresh nasal wash/nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens for analysis.

  • Study Site 2:
    Study Site 2 evaluated a total of 371 fresh respiratory specimens submitted, December 2005 through January 2006, to the laboratory for respiratory virus testing. Slides were prepared from Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)-washed cells from the fresh specimens and fixed according to the prescribed protocol. The slides were stained in accordance with the procedure in the product insert.
    Of the 371 fresh respiratory specimens tested, all were nasal/nasopharyngeal swab specimens. 3 were excluded from the performance analysis due to insufficient volume for the comparator methods, resulting in a total of 368 fresh nasal/nasopharyngeal swab specimens for analysis.

  • Study Site 3:
    Study Site 3 evaluated a total of 174 fresh respiratory specimens submitted. March 2006 through April 2006, to the laboratory for respiratory virus testing. Slides were prepared from Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)-washed cells from the fresh specimens and fixed according to the prescribed protocol. The slides were stained in accordance with the procedure in the product insert.
    Of the 174 fresh respiratory specimens tested, 62 were nasal wash/nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens, and 110 were nasal/nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Of the 62 nasal wash/nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens, 30 were excluded from the performance analysis due to insufficient volume for the comparator method, resulting in a total of 32 fresh nasal wash/nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens for analysis. Of the 110 nasal/nasopharyngeal swab specimens, 44 were excluded from the performance analysis due to insufficient volume for the comparator method, resulting in a total of 66 fresh nasal/nasopharyngeal swab specimens for analysis.

Cultured Cells Testing:
Performance characteristics of the DHI D DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit testing cultured cell specimens were established during a prospective study at DHI during the 2007 respiratory virus seasons (January - April 2008). All specimens used in the studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria represented excess. remnants of respiratory specimens that were prospectively collected from symptomatic individuals suspected of respiratory infection, and were submitted for routine care or analysis by each collection site, and that otherwise would have been discarded. Individual specimens were delinked from all patient identifiers and given a study sample code.

Performance of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit testing cultured cell specimens was evaluated and compared to the same validated hMPV real-time RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis comparator assay as described earlier, at clinical study site 4. Any cultured cell specimen that had bidirectional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria that matched hMPV sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with acceptable Evalues, was considered as hMPV positive, and the real-time hMPV RT-PCR comparator assay negative cultured cell specimens were considered as hMPV negatives.

  • Study Site 4:
    Study Site 4 evaluated a total of 74 freeze-thawed nasopharyngeal swab specimens that were cultured and stained in accordance with the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit procedure.

Summary of Performance Studies

Analytical Performance:
The MAbs all recognize a hMPV protein, approximately 46 kiloDaltons in size, which corresponds with the size of hMPV nucleoprotein, but do not compete with one another for binding sites (as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE analyses, against lysates of cell culture infected with hMPV subtypes A1, A2, B1, and B2).

Analytical specificity of the MPV DFA Reagent was evaluated against other respiratory viruses (multiple strains of adenovirus, influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza types 1, 2, and 3), as well as strains of 8 other viruses, and 30 other microorganisms that could be encountered in a respiratory specimen, cell culture contamination, or laboratory processing.

Reproducibility:
Study Type: Reproducibility Study
Sample Size: 210 data points (7 samples and controls/run x 2 runs/day x 5 days x 3 sites)
Key Results: The combined data from the three sites demonstrated that the detection of hMPV occurs in a reproducible manner. The presence of hMPV infected cells was reported in 100% (120/120) of the wells in which infected cells were present. The combined data from the three sites also demonstrated that no hMPV was detected in non-infected cells. The absence of hMPV was reported in 100% (90/90) of the wells in which infected cells were not present. The total percent agreement for the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit was 100% (210/210).

D3 DFA METAPNEUMOVIRUS IDENTIFICATION KIT

Device Description:

The D DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit uses a blend of three hMPV antigen-specific murine MAbs that are directly labeled with fluorescein for detection of hMPV. The reagent detects but does not differentiate between the four recognized subtypes of hMPV (subtypes A1, A2, B1, and B2).

Kit Components:

    1. Metapneumovirus DFA Reagent, 5-mL. One dropper bottle containing a blend (see below for MAb discussion) of fluorescein-labeled murine monoclonal antibodies directed against MPV. The buffered, stabilized, aqueous solution contains Evans Blue as a counter-stain and 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative.
    1. hMPV Antigen Control Slides, 5 slides. Five individually packaged control slides, each with a well containing cell culture-derived MPV positive cells and a well containing cell culture-derived negative cells. Each slide is intended to be stained only one time. Control material has been treated to be non-infectious; however normal laboratory precautions are required when the material is handled.
    1. 40X PBS Concentrate, 25-mL. One bottle containing a 40X concentrate consisting of 4% sodium azide (0.1% sodium azide after dilution to 1X using de-mineralized water) in PBS.
    1. Mounting Fluid, 7-mL. One dropper bottle containing an aqueous, buffer-stabilized solution of glycerol and 0.1% sodium azide.

The cells to be tested, derived from a clinical specimen or cell culture, are placed onto a glass slide, allowed to air dry and are fixed in acetone. The Metapneumovirus DFA Reagent is added to the cells which are then incubated for 15 to 30 minutes at 35℃ to 37℃ in a humidified chamber or humidified incubator. The stained cclls are then washed with the diluted phosphate buffered saline (PBS), a drop of the supplied Mounting Fluid is added and a coverslip is placed on the prepared cells. The cells are examined using a fluorescence microscope. The hMPV infected cells will fluoresce apple-green. Uninfected cells will contain no fluorescence but will be stained red by the Evans Blue counter-stain.

It is recommended that specimens found to contain no fluorescent cells after examination of the direct specimen be confirmed by an FDA cleared hMPV molecular assay.

Intended Use:

The Diagnostic Hybrids, Inc. device, D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit, is intended for the qualitative detection and identification of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs and aspirates/washes or cell culture. The assay detects hMPV antigens by immunofluorescence using a

allowed to air dry. The cells are fixed in
acetone. The hMPV DFA reagent is added to
the cells which are then incubated for 15 to
30 minutes at 35° to 37°C in a humidified
chamber or humidified incubator. The
stained cells are then washed with the diluted
phosphate buffered saline (PBS), a drop of

Analytical sensitivity:
Analytical detection limits on direct
specimens for the D³ DFA
Metapneumovirus Identification Kit
were addressed using quantified cultures
of characterized isolates of each of the 4
recognized genetic sublineages of hMPV
(A1, A2, B1, and B2). The infected
culture cells from a 1,000 infected
cells/mL culture were serially diluted
with a suspension of uninfected LLC-
MK2 cells. 25-µL aliquots from each
dilution level were spotted onto 10
replicate microscope slides, then fixed
and stained according to the instructions
for use described in this product insert.
Each cell spot was examined at 200x
magnification. Results were reported as
numbers of positive replicates for each
set of 10. Analytical detection limits for
each of the 4 hMPV genetic sublineages
were defined as the lowest dilutions at
which at least 9 out of 10 replicates were
detected. Based on this testing the LoD
for each subtype was A1= 25 infected
cells/mL, A2 = 200 infected cells/mL, B1 =
50 infected cells/ml., B2 = 100 infected
cells/mL.

Analytical Performance:

The MAbs all recognize a hMPV protein, approximately 46 kiloDaltons in size, which corresponds with the size of hMPV nucleoprotein, but do not compete with one another for binding sites (as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE analyses, against lysates of cell culture infected with hMPV subtypes A1, A2, B1, and B2).

Analytical specificity of the MPV DFA Reagent was evaluated against other respiratory viruses (multiple strains of adenovirus, influenza A, influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza types 1, 2, and 3), as well as strains of 8 other viruses, and 30 other microorganisms that could be encountered in a respiratory specimen, cell culture contamination, or laboratory processing.

Reproducibility

Assay reproducibility was assessed at 3 laboratory sites with a panel of proficiencylevel antigen control slides. The reproducibility panel consisted of 5 panel members. Each panel member was a 2-well slide spotted with the same cell preparation in each well. The cell preparations used to construct the slides are the following:

    1. Non-infected LLC-MK2 cells.
    1. Low level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 4 to 10% infected cells).
    1. Mid level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 20 to 30% infected cells).
    1. High level hMPV (A1 strain) grown in LLC-MK2 cells (manufactured to contain between 50 to 75% infected cells).

Each panel was tested daily in two separate runs for 5-days by three different laboratories (30 total runs). The panel members were randomized with different slide identification numbers to act as a "blinded" panel. An hMPV Antigen Control Slide (two-well slide, one well contains cell culture-derived hMPV positive cells and one well contains cell culture-derived negative cells) was stained according to the D-DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit instructions for use with each run. The following results were recorded for both the control slides and the panel slides:

    1. Presence or absence of green fluorescence.
    1. Percent of cells exhibiting green fluorescence.

A single lot of D MPV Kit was used. A total of 210 data points were included in the reproducibility study data analysis (7 samples and controls/run X 2 runs/day X 5 days X 3 sites = 210). The combined data from the three sites demonstrated that the detection of hMPV occurs in a reproducible manner. The presence of hMPV infected cells was reported in 100% (120/120) of the wells in which infected cells were present. The combined data from the three sites also demonstrated that no hMPV was detected in non-infected cells. The absence of hMPV was reported in 100% (90/90) of the wells in which infected cells were not present. The total percent agreement for the D' DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit was 100% (210/210). The Table below summarizes the reproducibility study results:

Clinical Performance:

Performance characteristics of the DHI D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit testing direct respiratory specimens were established during prospective studies at 3 geographically diverse U.S. clinical laboratories during the 2005 and 2006 respiratory virus seasons (December 2005 - April 2006 and December 2006 -March 2007). All specimens used in the studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria represented excess, remnants of respiratory specimens that were prospectively collected from symptomatic individuals suspected of respiratory infection, and were submitted for routine care or analysis by each site, and that otherwise would have been discarded. Individual specimens were delinked from all patient identifiers and given a study sample code. All clinical sites were granted waivers of informed consent by their IRBs for this study.

02/27/2009 Section 5 - Page 8 of 13

Performance of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit was assessed and compared to a predetermined algorithm that used composite comparator methods at clinical study site 1 and 2. The composite comparator methods consisted of viral culture and a validated real-time RT-PCR comparator assay targeting the hMPV nucleocapsid gene followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis". "True" hMPV positive was defined as any sample that either tested positive by viral culture, or had bi-directional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria that matched hMPV sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with acceptable Evalues . "True" hMPV negative was defined as any sample that tested negative by both viral culture and the hMPV real-time RT-PCR comparator assay..

Performance of the D3 DFA Metapneumovirus Identification Kit at clinical study site 3 was evaluated and compared only to the validated hMPV real-time RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis comparator assay described above. Any sample that had bi-directional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria that matched hMPV sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with acceptable E-values, was considered as hMPV positive, and the real-time hMPV RT-PCR comparator assay negatives were considered as hMPV negatives at this site.

Study Site 1

Study Site 1 evaluated a total of 1564 fresh respiratory specimens submitted. December 2006 through March 2007, to the laboratory for respiratory virus testing. Slides were prepared from Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)-washed cells from the fresh specimens and fixed according to the prescribed protocol. The slides were stained in accordance with the procedure in the product insert.

Therefore an E-Value ranging from 2e-67 to 2e-77 has a very low probability of occurring purely by chance.

DHI-MPV_Scc05_510k-Summary_09FEB27_Corrected.doc

6 Analytical validation of the real-time hMPV RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing assay included analytical sensitivity and reactivity study, analytical specificity study, and extraction efficiency study. The analytical sensitivity (limit of detection or LoD) of the real-time hMPV RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing analysis comparator assay was determined using quantified (TCIDs) mL) stocks of the 4 hMPV (subtypes A1, A2, B1 and B2) strains diluted in hMPV negative nasopharyngeal clinical matrix, and ranged from 10 - 50 TCIDsofmL.

d The E-values generated from the clinical trials range from a low of 2e-67. The E-Value from NCBI BLAST Alignment indicates the statistical significance of a given pair-wise alignment and reflects the size of the database and the scoring system used. The lower the li-Value, the more significant the hit. A sequence alignment that has an E-Value of 1c-3 means that this similarity has a 1 in 1000 chance of occurring by chance alone.
