Intended Use

The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Influenza A Subtyping Kit is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3, and 2009 H1N1Influenza viral nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and nasopharyngeal wash (NPW) specimens from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection, in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit contains reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assays for use on the JBAIDS instruments. The Flu A H1. Flu A H3. and Flu A H1 2009 assays of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit target a region of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the respective Influenza A virus. The Flu A Sw assay of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit targets a region of the nucleocapsid protein (NP) gene of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza virus, as well as some other Influenza A viruses of swine lineage. This kit is not intended to detect Influenza B or Influenza C viruses.

A negative result for all assays in the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a presumptive negative result for Influenza A. These results should be confirmed using the JBAIDS Influenza A & B Detection Kit.

Test results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Due to low seasonal prevalence, performance characteristics for detection of seasonal Influenza A/H1 were established primarily with retrospective and contrived clinical specimens.

All users, analysts, and any person reporting diagnostic results from use of this device should be trained to perform and interpret the results from this procedure by JBAIDS instructors or designees prior to use. Use of this device is limited to designated Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories equipped with the JBAIDS instruments.

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 departments for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a biosafety laboratory (BSL) 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

Device Description

The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a real time RT-PCR test kit, which, when used with the JBAIDS instrument and software, allows the qualitative in vitro detection and identification of influenza A subtypes H1, H3, and H1 2009 (swine lineage) viral RNA. The assays have been optimized as freeze-dried assays with primer and fluorescent-probe sets for the detection of influenza A/H1, A/H3, and A/2009 H1 viral RNA. In particular, the Flu A H1, Flu A H3, and Flu A H1 2009 assays target distinct regions of the hemagglutinin gene specific to those subtypes, and the Flu A Sw assay targets a region of the nucleocapsid protein gene as a secondary target for the influenza A/2009 H1(swine lineage) virus. The tests are performed using the JBAIDS instrument and software.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit based on the provided text:

Preamble Regarding Acceptance Criteria:
The document provided, a 510(k) Summary, details performance data but does not explicitly state pre-defined "acceptance criteria" in the format of pass/fail thresholds for the clinical study. Instead, it presents the achieved performance metrics (PPA and NPA with 95% Confidence Intervals) from the clinical and analytical studies, implicitly demonstrating that these achieved results were deemed sufficient for substantial equivalence. For the purpose of this response, I will present the reported performance as the "acceptance criteria met," recognizing that the specific numerical targets for acceptance are not explicitly listed in this summary.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As described above, explicit acceptance criteria (i.e., specific numerical targets prior to testing) were not provided in the 510(k) summary. However, the reported performance from the clinical studies served as the basis for the device's clearance. The table below summarizes the reported clinical performance.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Clinical Performance (Prospective Study):

    • Sample Size: 795 valid specimens (312 NPS, 483 NPW) were analyzed. 6% (44/795) required retesting due to invalid/inconclusive/unsubtypeable initial results.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective, collected from 5 geographically separated military clinical sites in the U.S. during the 2010-2011 influenza season (December 2010 to April 2011).
  • Testing of Preselected Archived Samples (for Seasonal Influenza A/H1):

    • Sample Size: 51 NPS specimens (30 known positive seasonal Influenza A/H1, 21 influenza-negative).
    • Data Provenance: Retrospective, pre-selected archived clinical NPS specimens obtained and confirmed at two different clinical study sites in the U.S.
  • Testing of Surrogate Clinical Specimens (for Seasonal Influenza A/H1):

    • Sample Size: 136 individual influenza-negative clinical specimens (68 NPS, 68 NPW) were spiked with known concentrations of seasonal Influenza A/H1 virus. Valid results obtained for 128 (62 NPW, 66 NPS).
    • Data Provenance: Contrived clinical samples generated from residual influenza-negative NPS and NPW samples. Sent to two different clinical trial sites in the U.S.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of individual experts who established the ground truth. However, the ground truth for the clinical and archived samples was established using a reference method:

  • "The reference method was the CDC rRT-PCT Flu Panel influenza A and influenza B assays, followed by subtype-specific PCR and bi-directional sequencing of amplicons."
  • "the presence of Influenza A/H1 viral RNA was confirmed using 'validation' PCR assays. The validation PCR assays were identical to the comparator assays that were used for the prospective clinical evaluation study."

This implies that the "experts" were the personnel performing and interpreting the CDC assays and sequencing results, which would typically be highly trained laboratory professionals and molecular biologists proficient in these techniques, likely adhering to CDC protocols. No specific number of such experts is given.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document states: "JBAIDS Software analyzes the fluorescence amplification curves and reports results as positive, negative, or uncertain. A failure of the Positive or Negative Control will result in the entire run being called invalid. Retesting is required to resolve uncertain or invalid results."

For the clinical study, 6% of specimens (44/795) required retesting. Specifically, "Invalid" (32/44), "Inconclusive" (1/44), and "Unsubtypeable" (1/44). "Forty (40) out of 44 samples resolved upon a 1st retest and the remaining 4 samples required a re-extraction and retest and resolved." This indicates a retesting and re-extraction protocol for initial indeterminate or invalid results rather than a multi-expert adjudication panel for interpretive discrepancies. The ground truth itself (CDC rRT-PCR + sequencing) would have its own internal validation/adjudication processes, but this is not detailed for external review.


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

No multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance was performed. This device is a diagnostic kit (real-time RT-PCR assay) that provides automated qualitative results, not an imaging AI diagnostic aid for human interpretation. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance" does not directly apply to this type of device.


6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)

Yes, the studies described (clinical performance, archived samples, surrogate samples) represent standalone performance of the algorithm/device. The "JBAIDS Software analyzes the fluorescence amplification curves and reports results as positive, negative, or uncertain." While human operators perform the physical tests, the interpretation of the raw PCR data into a final qualitative result (positive/negative/uncertain) is automated by the device's software (algorithm). The clinical performance data presented (PPA and NPA) are a direct measure of this standalone performance against a defined ground truth.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was:

  • Expert Consensus/Reference Method: For prospective clinical specimens and archived samples, the reference method was the CDC rRT-PCR Flu Panel influenza A and influenza B assays, followed by subtype-specific PCR and bi-directional sequencing of amplicons. This is a highly robust and accepted laboratory method for viral identification and subtyping.
  • Known Spiked Concentration: For surrogate clinical specimens, the ground truth for positive samples was established by spiking influenza-negative clinical samples with known concentrations of seasonal Influenza A/H1 virus. Un-spiked negative samples also served as ground truth negatives.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide details on a specific "training set" sample size or data for the development of the device's algorithm, as would typically be described for machine learning or AI models. This device is a PCR-based assay, where the "algorithm" is primarily the pre-defined thresholds and analysis logic within the JBAIDS software to interpret PCR amplification curves. Performance characteristics are primarily established through analytical validation (LoD, inclusivity, exclusivity) and clinical validation with independent test sets, rather than an explicit training-validation split in the context of an adaptive or learning algorithm. The design of the primers and probes, and the associated software interpretation, would have been iteratively developed and optimized, but a formal "training set" as understood in AI/ML is not mentioned.


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

As noted above, a formal "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm is not described for this diagnostic kit. The underlying principles of the PCR assay (primer/probe design, reaction conditions) are established through extensive analytical studies to ensure specificity and sensitivity. The "ground truth" for developing the analytical performance characteristics (like LoD, exclusivity, inclusivity) would involve testing well-characterized viral strains and non-target organisms with known concentrations, typically obtained from reference collections. This process establishes the analytical sensitivity and specificity that the device is designed to achieve when interpreting a sample.

Intended Use

The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Influenza A Subtyping Kit is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3, and 2009 H1N1Influenza viral nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and nasopharyngeal wash (NPW) specimens from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection, in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit contains reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assays for use on the JBAIDS instruments. The Flu A H1, Flu A H3, and Flu A H1 2009 assays of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit target a region of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the respective Influenza A virus. The Flu A Sw assay of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit targets a region of the nucleocapsid protein (NP) gene of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza virus, as well as some other Influenza A viruses of swine lineage. This kit is not intended to detect Influenza B or Influenza C viruses.

A negative result for all assays in the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a presumptive negative result for Influenza A. These results should be confirmed using the JBAIDS Influenza A & B Detection Kit.

Test results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Due to low seasonal prevalence, performance characteristics for detection of seasonal Influenza A/H1 were established primarily with retrospective and contrived clinical specimens.

All users, analysts, and any person reporting diagnostic results from use of this device should be trained to perform and interpret the results from this procedure by JBAIDS instructors or designees prior to use. Use of this device is limited to designated Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories equipped with the JBAIDS instruments.

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 departments for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a biosafety laboratory (BSL) 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

Device Description

The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a real time RT-PCR test kit, which, when used with the JBAIDS instrument and software, allows the qualitative in vitro detection and identification of influenza A subtypes H1, H3, and H1 2009 (swine lineage) viral RNA. The assays have been optimized as freeze-dried assays with primer and fluorescent-probe sets for the detection of

{2}------------------------------------------------

influenza A/H1, A/H3, and A/2009 H1 viral RNA. In particular, the Flu A H1, Flu A H3, and Flu A H1 2009 assays target distinct regions of the hemagglutinin gene specific to those subtypes, and the Flu A Sw assay targets a region of the nucleocapsid protein gene as a secondary target for the influenza A/2009 H1(swine lineage) virus. The tests are performed using the JBAIDS instrument and software.

Assay Principle

Before testing, NPS or NPW specimens are purified using Technology's 1-2-3TM Platinum Path Sample Purification Kit or the Roche MagNA Pure Compact Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit I. The resulting purified sample is added to Unknown reagent vials along with reconstitution buffer. When viral RNA is present, a fragment of influenza A viral RNA is transcribed and amplified. The amplicon is detected by fluorescence using a specific hydrolysis probe. Each probe is labeled on one end with a fluorescent reporter moiety (6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM)) and elsewhere with a quencher moiety (carboxy tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA)). When the probe is intact, the quencher absorbs the light emitted by the reporter moiety. During PCR, the probe hybridizes to the target sequence before the exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase hydrolyzes the probe, separating the fluorophore from the quencher and permitting detection of the fluorescent signal generated by the reporter. The fluorescent signal increases as additional templates are amplified and more probes are hydrolyzed.

JBAIDS Software analyzes the fluorescence amplification curves and reports results as positive, negative, or uncertain. A failure of the Positive or Negative Control will result in the entire run being called invalid. Retesting is required to resolve uncertain or invalid results.

Substantial Equivalence

The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping System is substantially equivalent to other products in commercial distribution intended for similar use. The JBAIDS instrument has been previously cleared under K051713.

The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping System is substantially equivalent to the CDC Human Influenza Virus real-time RT-PCR Detection and Characterization Panel, which was cleared on September 30, 2008 under 510(k) # K080570, and the CDC Influenza 2009 A(H1N1)pdm Real-Time RT-PCR Panel, which was cleared on June 22, 2010 under 510(k) #101564.

Summary of Performance Data

Clinical Performance

The clinical performance of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit was evaluated during a prospective study at 5 geographically separated military clinical sites over the 2010-2011 influenza season (December 2010 to April 2011). Subjects with signs and/or symptoms of influenza-like illness were enrolled. Upon obtaining informed consent,

{5}------------------------------------------------

NPS and NPW specimens were collected for JBAIDS and comparator testing. A total of 795 valid specimens were analyzed at the five study sites: 312 NPS and 483 NPW specimens. Table 3 provides a summary of demographic information for the 795 subjects for which valid specimen results were obtained in the prospective study.

Table 3. Demographic Summary for the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit Prospective Study.

4 0.5 was used for all ages under 1 year for these calculations.

b The age groups ≤ 5 years and ≥ 50 years correspond to high risk groups for which the CDC strongly recommends seasonal influenza vaccination (http://www.cdc.goy/flu//flu/protect/keyfacts.htm). 6 Site 5 enrolled adults only; this category reflects participants 18 to 21 years of age

Of the 795 prospective specimens, successful results were obtained for 94% (751/795) of these specimens on the first attempt (Site 1: 359/370 =97%; Site 2: 191/206 =93%; Site 3: 54/56 =96%; Site 4: 110/118 =93%; Site 5: 37/45 =98%). The remaining 6% (44/795) required retesting: "Invalid" (32/44), "Inconclusive" (1/44), and "Unsubtypeable" (1/44) (11 samples from Site 1; 15 samples from Site 2; 2 samples from Site 3; 8 sample from Site 4: and 8 sample from Site 5). Forty (40) out of 44 samples resolved upon a 1st retest and the remaining 4 samples required a re-extraction and retest and resolved.

Nucleic acid from each specimen was isolated using either the IT I-2-3 Platinum Path Sample Purification Kit (manual sample processing) or the Roche MagNA Pure Compact Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit I (automated sample processing) and tested with the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit. The performance of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit was evaluated by comparing the JBAIDS test results with a comparator/reference method. The reference method was the CDC rRT-PCT Flu Panel influenza A and influenza B assays, followed by subtype-specific PCR and bi-directional sequencing of amplicons. Clinical sensitivity was calculated as Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and specificity was calculated as Negative Percent Agreement (NPA). The exact binomial

Table 4. JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit Prospective Clinical Performance Summary

Seasonal influenza A/H1 virus was not circulating during the 2010-2011 influenza season (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/) and was not detected during the prospective clinical study of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit. To supplement the results of the clinical study, an evaluation of preselected archived samples was performed. Due to the limited availability of archived specimens, the clinical study was further supplemented with surrogate clinical contrived specimens.

Testing of Preselected Archived Specimens

Additional testing of pre-selected archived clinical NPS specimens was performed at two different clinical study sites to supplement the prospective clinical testing data. Because it is possible that the archived samples had been misidentified or had degraded during storage or previous handling, the presence of Influenza A/H1 viral RNA was confirmed using "validation" PCR assays. The validation PCR assays were identical to the comparator assays that were used for the prospective clinical evaluation study. A total of 51 NPS specimens were obtained and confirmed for testing: 30 known to be positive seasonal Influenza A/H1 specimens and 21 influenza-negative specimens. Validated samples were purified using either the IT 1-2-3 Platinum Path Sample Purification Kit or

{7}------------------------------------------------

the Roche MagNA Pure Compact Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit I and then tested with the Flu A and human sample control (Flu SC) assay from the JBAIDS Influenza A & B Detection Kit and the Flu A H1 assay from the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit. The specimens were split evenly for purification with the Platinum Path or MagNA Pure purification kits and then randomized such that the users performing the JBAIDS testing were blinded as to the expected test result.

Table 5, Performance Summary of Seasonal Influenza A/H1 Archived Clinical Specimens

Due to the absence of seasonal Influenza A/H1 virus in circulation during the 2010-2011 influenza seasonal (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/) and lack of availability of archived NPW specimens for seasonal Influenza A/H1, contrived clinical samples (residual influenza negative NPS and NPW samples spiked with a known concentration of seasonal Influenza A/H1 virus) were used as a surrogate to further evaluate the performance of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit.

Testing of Surrogate Clinical Specimens

A total of 136 individual influenza-negative clinical specimens (68 NPS samples and 68 NPW samples) were spiked at a range of concentrations, including near the system limit of detection (LoD), as well as un-spiked, then randomized, and sent to two different clinical trial sites for testing. Of the 136 surrogate samples included in this study, a valid JBAIDS test result was obtained for 128 samples (62 NPW and 66 NPS). The remaining 8 samples with invalid results could not be retested due to insufficient sample volume, and were not included in the analysis.

Table 6 presents the PPA and NPA for the surrogate clinical specimens. Half of the samples were extracted using the Platinum Path purification kit and half using the MagNA pure kit. Performance from both extraction kits was identical, so results are combined.

{8}------------------------------------------------

Analyses of the clinical data set, preselected archived specimens, and surrogate clinical specimens demonstrate that the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a sensitive and specific test system for the differentiation of influenza A/H1, influenza A/H3, and influenza A/2009 H1 virus subtypes.

Selected Analytic Studies

Limit of Detection

The analytical sensitivity or Limit of Detection (LoD) for each target assay (Flu A H1, Flu A H3, Flu A H1 2009, and Flu A Sw) was determined using both NPS and NPW samples spiked with quantified virus strains. The LoD was the lowest concentration where ≥ 95% of samples yielded positive results. Twenty (20) independent specimens from 20 unique donors were spiked with each virus strain for each sample type/purification kit combination and tested at the LoD concentration. The LoD values for representative virus strains detected by the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit are listed in Table 7.

Inclusivity

The analytical reactivity of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit assays was evaluated with inclusivity panels consisting of eight seasonal influenza A H1N1 strains (Table 8), 10 seasonal influenza A H3N2 strains (Table 9), and 11 2009 H1N1 influenza strains (Table 10) that represent the genetic, temporal, and geographic diversity of the influenza analytes. Each organism was tested in a simulated NPS sample matrix at or near the system LoD (5, 50, and 500 EID50/mL or TCID50/mL for H1N1 strains; 0.5, 5 and 50 EID50/mL or TCID50/mL for H3N2 strains; and 150, 1,500 and 15,000 EID50/mL or TCIDsofmL for H1N1 2009 strains). Higher concentrations were tested if the analyte was not detected at the initial test concentrations. Four (4) of the 29 influenza strains tested in this study were not detected with the appropriate JBAIDS influenza A subtyping assays.

{9}------------------------------------------------

There was considerable variability in the ability of the Flu A H1 assay to detect strains (lowest detected concentrations ranged from 5-500,000 TCID30/mL). Sequence alignments of tested strains indicate variability potentially due to mismatches under the primers and probe. The influenza A/1/Denver/1/57 strain was not detected at a final concentration of 5,000 TCID50/mL.

For the Flu A H3 assay, the following strains were not detected at the following concentration: A/Aichi/2/68 at 114,000 TCID50/mL, A/Hong Kong/8/68 at 137,000 TCID50/mL, and A/MRC-2 recomb at 7,350 TCID30/mL. Sequence alignments indicate that the A/Aichi/2/68 and A/Hong Kong/8/68 isolates have mismatches in the probe sequence. The sequence for A/MRC-2 recomb was not available.

For the Flu A H1 and Flu A H3 assays, in silico evaluation of contemporary strains (2006-2011) indicate that there are few mismatches, and strains should be detected.

Exclusivity

The potential for cross-reactivity between JBAIDS influenza assays was evaluated by testing simulated NPS samples containing high concentrations of influenza viruses (tens to thousands-fold higher than LoD). Table 11 lists all of the non-target influenza strains tested at high concentrations with the Flu A H1, Flu A H3, Flu A Sw and Flu A H1 2009 assays. In all cases, the assays gave the expected negative results with the non-target influenza assays.

Three (3) Influenza A H1N1 strains, A/Maryland/12/1991, A/Iowa/1/2006, and A/swine/Wisconsin/125/1997, were detected by the Flu A Sw assay: These results were not unexpected since the first two of these strains were isolated from humans but have an origin of swine lineage and the third was isolated from swine. In addition, the Influenza A H3N2 virus strain A/SW/IA/1/99 (swine origin) was detected by both the Flu A H3 and Flu A Sw assays. Detection of swine Influenza A/H3 viruses by the Flu A H3 assay is not unexpected as the hemagglutinin sequences for swine and human isolates are very similar.

The non-influenza exclusivity panel consisted of 17 bacteria, 18 viruses, and one fungus, which were selected based on the relatedness to JBAIDS influenza analytes, clinical relevance (cause respiratory symptoms or represent nasopharyngeal flora), or high prevalence within the population (e.g. Herpes Simplex Virus). Simulated NPS samples were spiked with bacteria or fungi at a concentration of 10° CFU/mL or TCID30/mL and viruses at a concentration between 103 - 10' copies/mL or TCID50/mL. The JBAIDS Influenza A subtyping assays did not cross-react with the exclusivity panel organisms at the test concentrations listed in Table 12.

Reproducibility

A multicenter study was performed to determine overall system reproducibility. Reproducibility testing occurred at three test sites utilizing six total panels of NPS and NPW samples, each, were spiked with a representative seasonal influenza A H1N1 virus (A/New Caledonia/20/1999). Panels of simulated NPS and simulated NPW samples, each, were spiked with a representative seasonal influenza A H3N2 virus (A/New York/55/2004). Finally, panels of simulated NPS and simulated NPW samples,

{13}------------------------------------------------

each, were spiked with a representative 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (A/New York/18/2009). Samples in each panel consisted of three samples spiked below LoD (high negative, LoD/20), three samples spiked with a low concentration of virus (low positive, LoD), and three samples spiked at a medium concentration of virus (medium positive, 3×LoD) for a total of nine samples per panel. Each panel was tested twice daily at each site for a total of 30 results per sample and 90 results per spike level. The detection rate was ≥ 98% for samples containing influenza virus ≥ LoD. As expected, samples spiked below LoD have variable results. Results are shown in Table 13, Table 14 and Table 15.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number: K111778 Device Name: JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit

Indications for Use:

The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Influenza A Subtyping Kit is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3, and 2009 H1N1Influenza viral nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and nasopharyngeal wash (NPW) specimens from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection, in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit contains reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assays for use on the JBAIDS instruments. The Flu A H1. Flu A H3. and Flu A H1 2009 assays of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit target a region of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the respective Influenza A virus. The Flu A Sw assay of the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit targets a region of the nucleocapsid protein (NP) gene of the 2009 H1N1 Influenza virus, as well as some other Influenza A viruses of swine lineage. This kit is not intended to detect Influenza B or Influenza C viruses.

A negative result for all assays in the JBAIDS Influenza A Subtyping Kit is a presumptive negative result for Influenza A. These results should be confirmed using the JBAIDS Influenza A & B Detection Kit.

Test results are to be used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Due to low seasonal prevalence, performance characteristics for detection of seasonal Influenza A/H1 were established primarily with retrospective and contrived clinical specimens.

All users, analysts, and any person reporting diagnostic results from use of this device should be trained to perform and interpret the results from this procedure by JBAIDS instructors or designees prior to use. Use of this device is limited to designated Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories equipped with the JBAIDS instruments.

{19}------------------------------------------------

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 departments for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a biosafety laboratory (BSL) 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

§ 866.3332 Reagents for detection of specific novel influenza A viruses.

(a)
Identification. Reagents for detection of specific novel influenza A viruses are devices that are intended for use in a nucleic acid amplification test to directly detect specific virus RNA in human respiratory specimens or viral cultures. Detection of specific virus RNA aids in the diagnosis of influenza caused by specific novel influenza A viruses in patients with clinical risk of infection with these viruses, and also aids in the presumptive laboratory identification of specific novel influenza A viruses to provide epidemiological information on influenza. These reagents include primers, probes, and specific influenza A virus controls.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(1) FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Reagents for Detection of Specific Novel Influenza A Viruses.” See § 866.1(e) for information on obtaining this document.
(2) The distribution of these devices is limited to laboratories with experienced personnel who have training in standardized molecular testing procedures and expertise in viral diagnosis, and appropriate biosafety equipment and containment.
