Intended Use
The xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel Fast (RVP FAST) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP FAST: Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude respiratory viral infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other organisms. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g. bacterial and viral culture, immunofluorescence, and radiography) and clinical presentation must be taken into consideration in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory infection. Due to the genetic similarity between human Rhinovirus and Enterovirus, the RVP FAST primers for the detection of rhinovirus cross react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. cell culture). Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses 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 a 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
RVP FAST is a PCR-based system for detecting the presence / absence of viral DNA / RNA in clinical specimens. The oligonucleotide primer / probe components of the RVP FAST have been designed to specifically target unique regions in the RNA / DNA of each molecular species listed in the intended use. Amplified products are then sorted and analyzed on the Luminex 100 or 200 instrument, which generates signals based on the acquisition of spectrofluorometric data. The raw signals are median fluorescence intensities (MFI) which are acquired in a Luminex Output.csv file that is subsequently analyzed by the xTAG Data Analysis Software (TDAS RVP FAST) to establish the presence of all viral types / subtypes for which a Luminex microsphere population has been dedicated.

No
The description focuses on PCR-based detection and analysis of spectrofluorometric data using dedicated software, with no mention of AI or ML techniques for data interpretation or decision making.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for identifying respiratory viruses, not for treating conditions.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device's output "aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information." Additionally, it performs "qualitative nucleic acid multiplex testing" for the "detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids," which are key characteristics of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a PCR-based system that includes oligonucleotide primer/probe components and relies on the Luminex 100 or 200 instrument for analysis, indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is a "qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (nasopharyngeal swabs) to provide information for diagnosis.
  • Purpose: The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids "aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details a "PCR-based system for detecting the presence / absence of viral DNA / RNA in clinical specimens." This further confirms it's a laboratory test performed on biological samples.
  • Clinical Studies: The document includes detailed information about clinical studies conducted to establish the "clinical accuracy of the RVP FAST assay to detect the assay targets... in clinical specimens." This is a standard requirement for IVD devices to demonstrate their performance in a clinical setting.
  • Performance Metrics: The inclusion of sensitivity and specificity data for various viruses is a key characteristic of IVD performance evaluation.

All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

A total of 1191 prospectively collected clinical specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS)) that had been extracted from the fresh or frozen states were included in the performance calculations. Total extracted nucleic acid material was stored at -70°C. All clinical specimens were analyzed fresh, as per the clinical laboratory routine algorithm or as ordered by the referring physician. For annotation, Direct Fluorescent Antibody Test (DFA) and/or viral culture were used for Influenza B, RSV, and Adenovirus targets. Well characterized RT-PCR amplification followed by bidirectional sequencing was used as the comparator method for Influenza A subtyping, hMPV and Rhinovirus. To the extent possible, amplification primers used in comparator methods targeted regions distinct from those targeted by the RVP FAST Assay primers.

Summary of Performance Studies

  1. Analytical Performance:

    • Precision/Reproducibility: A site-to-site reproducibility study was conducted at three independent sites. Two operators at each site performed fifteen separate EasyMag extraction runs and five xTAG RVP FAST runs on non-consecutive days for each of the 8 targets for single analyte targets. For each target, at each dilution, there were 90 data points (3 sites x 2 operators/site x 5 xTAG runs/operator x 3 replicates). For dual-analyte targets, two operators at three independent sites conducted 5 separate extractions and runs, on non-consecutive days, resulting in 30 replicates per sample type (3 sites x 2 operators/site x 5 runs/operator). Four different clinically relevant co-infections were represented.
    • Limit of Detection (LoD): LoD was determined for each viral analyte target from simulated samples in a dilution series from a high titre stock. LoDs were provided in TCID50/mL.
      • Adenovirus: $3.9 \times 10^2$
      • Flu A H1: $7.6 \times 10^{-1}$
      • Flu A H3: $1.8 \text{ (matrix)}, 3.6 \text{ (H3)}$
      • Flu B: $2.9 \times 10^{-2}$
      • Rhinovirus: $1.4 \times 10^{-2}$
      • hMPV (sublineage A1): $3.4 \times 10^{-1}$
      • hMPV (sublineage A2): $1.3 \times 10^1$
      • hMPV (sublineage B1): 1.1
      • hMPV (sublineage B2): 1.2
      • RSV (RSV A Long strain): $1.6 \times 10^{-2}$
      • RSV (RSV B Wash/18537/62): $1.6 \times 10^{-2}$
    • Carryover Contamination Limit of Blank (LoB): This study utilized water blanks and replicate aliquots of purified viral nucleic acid (RSV B) prepared from a High Positive (HP) titre simulated sample in a checkerboard manner. The study consisted of 6 identical runs over six different days. No carryover contamination was observed.
    • Analytical Specificity (Interference and Cross-Reactivity): 26 potentially cross-reactive pathogens (bacterial and viral) were assessed in replicates; no cross-reaction or interference was observed. 14 combinations of analyte and potential interferent were assessed in replicate; no interference was observed.
  2. Clinical Studies (Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity):

    • Study Type: Multi-site study to establish clinical accuracy.
    • Sample Size: 1191 prospectively collected clinical specimens (fresh or frozen nasopharyngeal swabs). An additional 34 banked, pre-selected, positive clinical adenovirus specimens and 77 clinical specimens positive for Novel 2009/H1N1 were also tested.
    • Key Results:
      • Adenovirus (supplemental data): Percent positive agreement of 97.06% (95% lower bound confidence interval of 86.47% - 99.93%) compared to the reference method (culture).
      • Novel 2009/H1N1 (supplemental data): Of 77 CDC-confirmed positive specimens, 75 were Flu A unsubtypeable by RVP FAST (97.40%, LB 95% Cl 90.93%), and 2 specimens were Flu A H1 (2.60%). None were negative for Flu A.

Due to the genetic similarity between human Rhinovirus and Enterovirus, the RVP FAST primers for the detection of rhinovirus cross react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. cell culture).

Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses 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 a state or local health department for testing.

Test Principle:

RVP FAST incorporates multiplex Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) with Luminex's proprietary Universal Tag sorting system on the Luminex platform. The assay also detects an internal control (E. coli phage MS2) which should be added to each sample prior to extraction, and a run control (bacteriophage Lambda DNA) which should be added as a separate RT-PCR reaction in each run performed.

For each sample, viral extract (RNA or DNA) is amplified in a single multiplex RT-PCR reaction. For each of the viruses/subtypes or internal control present in the sample, PCR amplimers are produced.

The RT-PCR product is then added to a hybridization/detection containing the universal array (Bead Mix) and the Streptavidin-R-Phycoerythrin reporter. Each Luminex bead population detects a specific viral target or assay control through a highly specific anti-tag/tag hybridization. Following the incubation of the RT-PCR products with the bead mix and reporter, the hybridization/detection reactions are then sorted and read on the Luminex instrument. Signal (median fluorescence intensity, MFI) is generated for each bead population (viral target or assay control). These fluorescence values are then analyzed to establish the presence of viral targets and/or controls in each sample tested.

Each of two operators performed fifteen separate EasyMag extraction runs and five xTAG RVP FAST runs on non-consecutive days for each of the 8 targets in the assay. For each target, at each dilution, there were 90 data points: 3 sites x 2 operator / site x 5 xTAG runs / operator x 3 replicates (EasyMag extraction runs).

Site-to-site reproducibility for dual-analyte targets was investigated by two operators employing the bioMerieux NucliSENS® EasyMag extraction kit and the RVP FAST test at three independent sites. Each operator conducted 5 separate extractions and runs, on non-consecutive days. There were a total of 30 replicates for each sample type: (3 sites) x (2 operators/site) x (5 runs/operator) = 30 runs. Four different clinically relevant co-infections were represented by the dual-analyte samples.

RVP FAST was reproducible across all sites, operators and targets.

Limit of Detection (LoD):

The LoD was determined for each of the following viral analyte targets from simulated samples arranged in a dilution series from a high titre stock: Flu A H3, Flu B, Adenovirus, RSV (A and B subtypes). Rhinovirus, and hMPV (subtypes A1, A2, B1 and B2). For each reference strain, the LoD is provided in Column 3 of the following table in TCIDso/mL.

Carryover Contamination Limit of Blank (LoB):

This study was conducted using water blanks (DNase and RNase free distilled water) and replicate aliquots of a solution of purified viral nucleic acid (RSV B; Wash/18537/62DHI 20-4730010; original ATCC VR-1401)) prepared from a High Positive (HP) titre simulated sample in a checkerboard manner. This titre was selected to fall far above the assay cut-off, so that positive calls would be obtained 100% of the time and to experimentally maximize the potential for 'cross contamination'. RSV B was selected as the high titre analyte for the study, since it is commonly observed in clinical specimens at a high titre (Chidgey and Broadley, 2005)*. This titre was selected to fall far above the assay cut-off, so that positive calls would be obtained 100% of the time. The high titer purified viral nucleic acid replicates were tested to assess the probability of carryover contamination in adjacent wells containing water blanks. This study consisted of 6 identical runs tested over six (6) different days each performed by one operator, using a single kit lot and equipment set. The mean MFI of the High Positive RSV B specimen used in the carryover part of this evaluation was 10,860. No carryover contamination with RSV B was observed as the MFI values obtained in the blank positions was not significantly greater than the LoB in one or more blank position on the checkerboard plate layout. LoB was set as equal to the 95° percentile of the observed MFI distribution generated from NEGATIVE calls for each analyte target in uncontaminated blanks and replicates of the high titre intact viral organisms

*Since the target selected for HP is RSV (probe 2) the LoB for this target was calculated based on the total number of blank samples for the plate (whereas for all other targets, the LoB is calculated from all samples on the plate).

Analytical Specificity (Interference and Cross-Reactivity):

A total of 26 potentially cross-reactive pathogens (bacterial and viral) were assessed in replicates with RVP FAST. Each replicate underwent a single EasyMag (bioMerieux NucliSENS®) extraction prior to testing. These bacterial and viral pathogens did not cross-react or interfere with any viral target probed by RVP FAST.

Comparison Studies:

Clinical Studies: a. Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity:

The purpose of this multi-site study was to establish the clinical accuracy of the RVP FAST assay to detect the assay targets Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus in clinical specimens, across three independent sites.

Specimens tested included left-over, fresh and frozen, nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) prospectively collected during the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 flu seasons (i.e. all-comers accrued at enrolled clinical sites). All clinical specimens were analyzed fresh, as per the clinical laboratory routine

algorithm or as ordered by the referring physician, using Direct Fluorescent Antibody Test (DFA) and/or viral culture for the following targets: Influenza B, RSV, and Adenovirus. Well characterized RT-PCR amplification followed by bidirectional sequencing was used as the comparator method for Influenza A subtyping, hMPV and Rhinovirus. To the extent possible, amplification primers used in comparator methods targeted regions distinct from those targeted by the RVP FAST Assay primers.

RVP FAST was performed on a total of 1191 prospectively collected clinical specimens that had been extracted from the fresh or frozen states were included in the performance calculations. Total extracted nucleic acid material was stored at -70°C.

b. Other clinical supportive data.

Since Adenovirus does not show seasonality, the prospective sample set was supplemented with 34 banked, pre-selected, positive clinical specimens collected at selected sites and tested by RVP FAST. All pre-selected specimens were frozen clinical samples which had originally been tested in the fresh-state using culture. The percent positive agreement of the test compared to the reference method was 97.06% (95% lower bound confidence interval of 86.47% - 99.93%).

An additional 77 clinical specimens (NP swabs) confirmed positive for Novel 2009/H1N1 (swine flu) by the CDC real-time PCR test were tested by RVP FAST. Of these, seventy-five (75) were Flu A unsubtypeable (97.40%, LB 95% Cl 90.93%), two (2) specimens were Flu A H1 by RVP FAST (2.60%). None were negative for Flu A. In addition, none of the confirmed Flu A H1 or Flu A H3 clinical specimens in the clinical data set were unsubtypeable for Influenza A by RVP FAST.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known):

Device Name: xTAG® RVP FAST

The xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel Fast (RVP FAST) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP FAST: Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information.

Negative results do not preclude respiratory viral infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection, or co-infection with other organisms. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g., bacterial and viral culture, immunofluorescence, and radiography) and clinical presentation-must-be taken into consideration in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory infection.

Due to the genetic similarity between human Rhinovirus and Enterovirus, the RVP FAST primers for the detection of rhinovirus cross-react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g., cell culture).

Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses 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 a 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.
