Intended Use
The Focus Diagnostics Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) assay is intended for use on the 3M Integrated Cycler as part of the Microfluidic Molecular System for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza viral RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS), nasal swabs (NS), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Performance characteristics for influenza A were established during the 2009-2010 influenza season when 2009 H1N1 influenza was the predominant influenza A virus in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary. If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
Device Description
Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) test kit is a nucleic acid amplification test that uses real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification to enable simultaneous and distinct detection of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza in a single reaction from nasophayngeal swabs (NPS), nasal swabs (NS), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA). The assay combines real-time PCR amplification with fluorescent signal detection technology. A bi-functional fluorescent probe-primer is used together with a reverse primer to amplify a specific target (for each analyte and internal control). A fluorescent signal is generated after the separation of the fluorophore from the quencher as a result of the binding of a probe element to the extended RNA fragment synthesized during amplification. The 3M Integrated Cycler is a rapid real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction thermocycler used for the identification of nucleic acid from prepared biological samples. The instrument utilizes disk media to contain and to process samples. The instrument uses real time flourometric detection to identify targets within the sample wells. The instrument is controlled by an external computer running the Integrated Cycler Studio Software. Together, the instrument, software and test kit are referred to as the "Microfluidic Molecular System."
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard molecular diagnostic techniques (RT-PCR) and do not mention any AI or ML components for data analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is used for in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of specific influenza viral RNA, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is for "in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza viral RNA... from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors." This directly describes a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is described as a "Microfluidic Molecular System" which includes a test kit (reagents and consumables), an instrument (3M Integrated Cycler), and software (Integrated Cycler Studio Software). While software is a component, it is not the sole component of the medical device.

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 assay is intended for "in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza viral RNA... from human patients". The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD, meaning it's used outside of the body, typically in a laboratory setting, to examine samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a "nucleic acid amplification test" that uses "real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)" to detect viral RNA in biological samples (swabs and aspirates). This is a common methodology for IVD tests that analyze biological specimens to diagnose or detect diseases.
  • Sample Type: The device is designed to test "nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS), nasal swabs (NS), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from human patients". These are biological samples collected from individuals for diagnostic purposes.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to aid in the diagnosis of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza in patients with respiratory symptoms. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes detailed performance studies (Clinical Agreement, Reproducibility, Limit of Detection, Analytical Reactivity, Cross-Reactivity, Interference) which are standard for demonstrating the analytical and clinical validity of an IVD.
  • Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (other IVDs) further confirms that this device falls within the category of IVDs.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Focus Diagnostics Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) assay is clearly an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Specimens were prospectively collected at three sites from patients with signs and symptoms of influenza like illness (Austin, TX (September 2009) and the New South Wales region of Australia (July - September 2009). Specimens were blinded and randomly distributed to 3 U.S. clinical laboratories for testing. Specimens were determined to be positive for 2009 H1N1 influenza by a composite reference method including the Luminex xTAG RVP Flu A target, a validated PCR assay using primer and probe sequences published by the CDC and a well characterized PCR followed by sequencing. Two results were generated for each specimen, an influenza A result and a 2009 H1N1 influenza sub-typing result. Both results must be positive to determine that a specimen is 2009 H1N1 influenza positive.

299 prospectively collected nasal/nasopharyngeal swabs and 112 nasopharyngeal aspirates were analyzed using the Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) assay. The data presented below are stratified by both result and specimen type. Fifteen (15) specimens (10 swabs and 5 aspirates) were excluded from the analysis because there was no consensus among the reference assays for the influenza A result. Twelve (12) specimens (9 swabs and 3 aspirates) were excluded from the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Clinical Acreement Summary tables as sequencing data used to determine subtype was not available. These 12 specimens are included in the Influenza A Clinical Agreement Summary tables.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Reproducibility: Three investigative sites assessed the device's inter-laboratory reproducibility and inter/intra-assay reproducibility. Each of the three laboratories tested eighteen samples, the Positive Control and the No Template Control, in triplicate on five different days. Each site had two operators who each ran the assay once per day, for a total of two runs per day. Two sites performed the extraction using the MagNA Pure LC Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit; one site performed the extraction step using the Qiagen QlAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit.

Device Description

Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) test kit is a nucleic acid amplification test that uses real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification to enable simultaneous and distinct detection of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza in a single reaction from nasophayngeal swabs (NPS), nasal swabs (NS), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA). The assay combines real-time PCR amplification with fluorescent signal detection technology. A bi-functional fluorescent probe-primer is used together with a reverse primer to amplify a specific target (for each analyte and internal control). A fluorescent signal is generated after the separation of the fluorophore from the quencher as a result of the binding of a probe element to the extended RNA fragment synthesized during amplification.

The 3M Integrated Cycler is a rapid real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction thermocycler used for the identification of nucleic acid from prepared biological samples. The instrument utilizes disk media to contain and to process samples. The instrument uses real time flourometric detection to identify targets within the sample wells. The instrument is controlled by an external computer running the Integrated Cycler Studio Software. Together, the instrument, software and test kit are referred to as the "Microfluidic Molecular System."

Clinical Agreement

Specimens were prospectively collected at three sites from patients with signs and symptoms of influenza like illness (Austin, TX (September 2009) and the New South Wales region of Australia (July - September 2009). Specimens were blinded and randomly distributed to 3 U.S. clinical laboratories for testing. Specimens were determined to be positive for 2009 H1N1 influenza by a composite reference method including the Luminex xTAG RVP Flu A target, a validated PCR assay using primer and probe sequences published by the CDC and a well characterized PCR followed by sequencing. Two results were generated for each specimen, an influenza A result and a 2009 H1N1 influenza sub-typing result. Both results must be positive to determine that a specimen is 2009 H1N1 influenza positive.

299 prospectively collected nasal/nasopharyngeal swabs and 112 nasopharyngeal aspirates were analyzed using the Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) assay. The data presented below are stratified by both result and specimen type. Fifteen (15) specimens (10 swabs and 5 aspirates) were excluded from the analysis because there was no consensus among the reference assays for the influenza A result. Twelve (12) specimens (9 swabs and 3 aspirates) were excluded from the 2009 H1N1 Influenza Clinical Acreement Summary tables as sequencing data used to determine subtype was not available. These 12 specimens are included in the Influenza A Clinical Agreement Summary tables.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known): K100148

Device Name:

Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009)

:

Indications for Use:

The Focus Diagnostics Simplexa™ Influenza A H1N1 (2009) assay is intended for use on the 3M Integrated Cycler as part of the Microfluidic Molecular System for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and 2009 H1N1 influenza viral RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS), nasal swabs (NS), and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors.

Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Performance characteristics for influenza A were established during the 2009-2010 influenza season when 2009 H1N1 influenza was the predominant influenza A virus in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to state or focal health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
