Intended Use

The BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2) Q* Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BD Viper™ System in Extracted Mode, use Strand Displacement Amplification technology for the direct, qualitative detection and differentiation of Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) and Herpes Simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) DNA in clinician-collected external anogenital lesion specimens. The assays are indicated for use with symptomatic individuals to aid in the diagnosis of anogenital HSV1 and HSV2 infections.

Warning: The BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2) Q* Amplified DNA Assays (HSV Q* Assays) are not FDA cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The assays are not intended to be used for prenatal screening or for individuals under the age of 17 years.

Device Description

The BD ProbeTec Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2) Q* Amplified DNA Assays (HSV Q* Assays) are based on the simultaneous amplification and detection of target DNA using amplification primers and fluorescently-labeled detector probes. The reagents for SDA are dried in two separate disposable microwells for each HSV Q* Assay: the Priming Microwell contains the amplification primers, fluorescently-labeled detector probe, nucleotides and other reagents necessary for amplification, while the Amplification Microwell contains the two enzymes (a necessary for amplification, a restriction endonuclease) that are required for SDA. The BD Viper™ System pipettes a portion of the purified DNA solution from each Extraction Tube into a Priming Microwell to rehydrate the contents. After a brief incubation, the reaction mixture is transferred to a corresponding, pre-warmed Amplification Microwell which is then sealed to prevent contamination and incubated in one of the two thermally-controlled fluorescent readers. The presence or absence of Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) or Herpes Simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) DNA is determined by calculating the peak fluorescence (Maximum Relative Fluorescent Units (MaxRFU)) over the course of the amplification process and by comparing this measurement to a predetermined threshold value.

In addition to the fluorescent probe used to detect amplified HSV1 or HSV2 target DNA, a second labeled oligonucleotide is incorporated in each reaction. The Extraction Control (EC) oligonucleotide is labeled with a different dye than that used for detection of the HSV 1 or HSV2 specific target and is used to confirm the validity of the extraction process. The EC is dried in the Extraction Tubes and is rehydrated upon addition of the specimen and extraction reagents. At the end of the extraction process, the EC fluorescence is monitored by the BD Viper System and an automated algorithm is applied to both the EC and target-specific signals to report results as positive, negative, or EC failure.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV1 & 2) Q* Amplified DNA Assays

The provided document describes the BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV1 & 2) Q Amplified DNA Assays*, which are intended for the direct, qualitative detection and differentiation of HSV1 and HSV2 DNA in clinician-collected external anogenital lesion specimens from symptomatic individuals.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of predefined acceptance criteria in the format of a requirement with a corresponding target performance. Instead, it reports the device's performance characteristics, particularly diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, against a reference method (viral culture and PCR for discrepants). The performance of the predicate device is not provided, making a direct comparison to explicit acceptance criteria difficult. However, the study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Based on the clinical performance section, the key performance metrics reported are:

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (HSV1 Q* Assay)Reported Device Performance (HSV2 Q* Assay)
Sensitivity (UVT_Qx Swab Diluent)Sufficient for diagnostic aid96.8% (60/62)98.4% (186/189)

Analytical Sensitivity (LOD) HSV1To detect low viral loads23 vp/mL (Q Swab Diluent), 85 vp/mL (UVT)N/A (HSV1 assay)
Analytical Sensitivity (LOD) HSV2To detect low viral loadsN/A (HSV2 assay)84 vp/mL (Q Swab Diluent), 635 vp/mL (UVT)
Analytical SpecificityNo cross-reactivity with common organismsNo interference observed with 57 organisms (Table 1)No interference observed with 57 organisms (Table 1)
Interfering SubstancesNo significant interference from common substancesNo interference observed with listed substances (Table 2)No interference observed with listed substances (Table 2)
ReproducibilityConsistent results across sites/runsHigh agreement with expected results (Tables 7 & 8)High agreement with expected results (Tables 7 & 8)

Note: The document states "The analytical and clinical study results ... support the determination of substantial equivalence in accordance with the intended use as stated in the product labeling." This implies that the reported performance metrics met the FDA's criteria for substantial equivalence to a predicate device, even if explicit quantitative targets for each metric are not listed as "acceptance criteria."

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Sample Size (Clinical Performance Study - Test Set):
    • Initial Subjects: 564 subjects
    • Final Compliant Subjects for Analysis: 508 subjects
    • HSV1 Analysis: 501 samples for viral culture typing reference method evaluation.
      • UVT in Qx Swab Diluent: n=312 for positive/negative comparison to viral culture.
      • Qx Swab Diluent: n=308 for positive/negative comparison to viral culture.
    • HSV2 Analysis: 501 total samples for viral culture typing reference method evaluation for UVT in Qx Swab Diluent, and 498 for Qx Swab Diluent.
  • Data Provenance: The clinical samples were collected prospectively from nine geographically diverse clinical sites in North America.

3. Number and Qualifications of Experts for Ground Truth (Test Set)

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the "ground truth" for the test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The primary reference method for the clinical performance study was a commercially available viral culture and typing procedure.
For discrepant results between the ProbeTec HSV Q* Amplified DNA Assays and the reference culture and typing method, a PCR method was used for analysis. The document states, for example, regarding HSV2 specificity that "46 of the 51 HSV2 UVT in Q* Swab Diluent positive and viral culture negative were positive for HSV2 by PCR," indicating that PCR served as a secondary adjudicator for discrepant cases to determine the true positive or negative status when culture results conflicted with the new assay.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is a diagnostic assay (DNA amplification) and not an imaging or diagnostic support tool for human readers. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance is not applicable.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire document describes the performance of the BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV1 & 2) Q Amplified DNA Assays* as a standalone diagnostic device. The assay determines results (positive, negative, or Extraction Control failure) using an automated algorithm applied to the fluorescent signals.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The type of ground truth used for the clinical performance evaluation was:

  • Viral Culture and Typing Procedure: This was the primary reference method.
  • PCR Testing: Used as an adjudicator for discrepant results between the viral culture and the BD ProbeTec assays.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly define or report a "training set" sample size in the context of machine learning. The study focuses on evaluating the performance of the already developed assay. The analytical performance characteristics (Limit of Detection, Analytical Specificity, Interfering Substances) and reproducibility studies involve controlled experiments with known viral strains and substances, which could be considered part of the assay's development and internal validation, but not a "training set" in the typical ML sense.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As there is no distinct "training set" described in the context of an AI/ML algorithm development, the method for establishing ground truth for such a set is not applicable or detailed in this submission. The assay's "algorithm" described is likely based on fixed thresholds and logic for interpreting fluorescent signals, rather than a machine learning model requiring a training phase with labeled data. The established ground truth for analytical studies involved controlled spiking of known quantities of viral particles and other organisms or substances.

Fluorescent Units (MaxRFU)) over the course of the amplification process and by comparing this measurement to a predetermined threshold value.

In addition to the fluorescent probe used to detect amplified HSV1 or HSV2 target DNA, a second labeled oligonucleotide is incorporated in each reaction. The Extraction Control (EC) oligonucleotide is labeled with a different dve than that used for detection of the HSV I or HSV2 specific target and is used to confirm the validity of the extraction process. The EC is dried in the Extraction Tubes and is rehydrated upon addition of the specimen and extraction reagents. At the end of the extraction process, the EC fluorescence is monitored by the BD Viper System and an automated algorithm is applied to both the EC and target-specific signals to report results as positive, negative, or EC failure.

Intended Use

The BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2) O* Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BD Viper™ System in Extracted Mode. use Strand Displacement Amplification technology for the direct, qualitative detection and differentiation of Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) and Herpes Simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) DNA in clinician-collected external anogenital lesion specimens. The assays are indicated for use with symptomatic individuals to aid in the diagnosis of anogenital HSV1 and HSV2 infections.

Warning: The BD ProbeTec™ Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV 1 & 2) Q Amplified DNA Assays (HSV Of Assays) are not FDA cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The assays are not intended to be used for prenatal screening or for individuals under the age of 17 years.

Summary and Principles of Operation

When used with the BD Viper System, the BD ProbeTec HSV Q* Amplified DNA Assays involve automated extraction of DNA from clinical specimens through the chemical lysis of cells, followed by binding of DNA to para-magnetic particles, washing of the bound nucleic acid, and elution in an amplification-compatible buffer. When present, HSV1 or HSV2 DNA is then detected by Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA) of either specific target sequence in the presence of a fluorescently-labeled detector probe.

Analytical Performance Characteristics

Limit of Detection (Analytical Sensitivity)

The Limits of Detection (LODs) for the HSV1 Q* Assay with HSV1 ATCC strain VR-539 in model matrix specimens when extracted on the BD Viper System were determined to be 23 viral particles/mL (vp/mL) in the Q Swab Diluent medium, and 85 vp/mL in the Universal Viral Transport medium (UVT). These values correspond to 7 TCID50/mL and 25 TCIDsy/mL,

respectively. The Limits of Detection (LODs) for the HSV2 Q* Assay with HSV2 ATCC strain VR-734 in model matrix specimens when extracted on the BD Viper System were determined to be 84 vp/mL (35 TCIDss/mL) in the Q Swab Diluent medium and 635 vp/mL (262 TCIDs6/ml.) in the UVT medium. Evaluation of the HSV1 Q* Assay on the BD Viper System in extracted mode with three additional HSV1 strains gave LoD values between 6 and 14 vp/mL in clean Q* Swab Diluent and between 110 and 185 vp/mL in clean UVT. Evaluation of the HSV2 Q* Assay on the BD Viper System in extracted mode with one additional HSV2 strain gave an LOD of 34 vp/mL in clean Q* Swab Diluent and 380 vp/mL in clean UVT.

Analytical Specificity

The DNA from 57 organisms was extracted on the BD Viper System and tested with the BD ProbeTec HSV Q Amplified DNA Assays. All potential cross-reactive species were tested at approximately 1x108 Colony Forming Units/mL for bacteria and yeast or 1x106 Plaque Forming Units/mL or greater for viruses, except where noted.

Clinical Performance Characteristics

Clinician-collected external anogenital lesion swab specimens were collected from 564 compliant male and female subjects attending family planning, OB/GYN, and sexually transmitted disease clinics at nine geographically diverse clinical sites in North America. Subjects were classified as symptomatic if they presented with an external anogenital lesion that met the study inclusion/exclusion criteria and the physician suspected a herpes infection. Fiftysix subjects were excluded from the data analysis due to age requirement violations, antiviral use in the last 21 days, opting to withdraw from the study after initially consenting, transport errors, informed consent issues, failing to meet the inclusion criteria, collection errors, shipping errors, or labeling errors. Therefore, the final data analysis included 508 compliant subjects.

For each of the 508 compliant subjects, two swab specimens were collected from the external anogenital lesion. The first specimen collected was always the Universal Viral Transport specimen followed by the BD ProbeTec OF Collection Kit for Endocervical or Lesion Specimens (Q* Swab Diluent specimen). The UVT was aliquotted into a Q* Swab Diluent Tube (UVT in Q* Swab Diluent), and a cryovial (vial suitable for -70 ℃ storage), and the remaining UVT was sent to one of two laboratories for viral culture and typing. The Q Swab Diluent specimen and the UVT in Q Swab Diluent specimen were transported to one of the three BD Viper testing laboratories where they were tested using the BD ProbeTec HSV1 and HSV2 Q* Assays on the BD Viper System. The cryovial containing the UVT aliquot was sent to a laboratory for PCR testing.

All sensitivity and specificity calculations were based on the total number of BD ProbeTec HSV1 and HSV2 Q Assays results for Q Swab Diluent and UVT in Q Swab Diluent specimens, as compared to a commercially available viral culture and typing procedure as the reference method. A PCR method was also used for analysis of discrepant results from the ProbeTec HSV Q* Amplified DNA Assays and the reference culture and typing method.

Reproducibility

Reproducibility of the BD Viper System using the BD ProbeTec HSV1 and HSV2 Q* Assays was evaluated at three test sites (two external and one internal) on one BD Viper System per site. Two panels of simulated specimens were tested that were comprised of HSV (strain VR-539) and/or HSV2 (strain VR-734) viral particles seeded into either Q* Swab Diluent containing a swab (simulated Q* Swab Diluent) or UVT in Q* Swab Diluent (simulated UVT in Q* Swab Diluent specimen type). Viral particles were spiked into the simulated samples at 2-fold or 5-fold LOD. Uninoculated Q* Swab Diluent or UVT in Q* Swab Diluent was used for the negative samples. Six replicates of each panel member were tested every day for five days on each BD Viper System. A summary of the reproducibility data for the HSV1 and HSV2 Q Assays is presented in Tables 7 and 8.

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).
