Intended Use

The IsoAmp® HSV Assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the direct, qualitative detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 & HSV-2) DNA in male and female genital and oral lesions. The test is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of HSV infection in symptomatic patients.

Warning: The IsoAmp® HSV Assay is not FDA cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The assay does not provide specific typing information to differentiate HSV-1 and HSV-2. The assay is not intended to be used for prenatal screening.

Device Description

The IsoAmp® HSV Assay consists of three major steps: 1) specimen preparation: 2) isothermal Helicase-Dependent Amplification (HDA) of the HSV glycoprotein B (gB) gene using biotinylated primers; and 3) detection of the amplified DNA by a target-specific hybridization probe via a colorimetric reaction on a lateral-flow strip which is embedded in a self-contained disposable cassette to prevent amplicon contamination.

Specimen preparation includes a simple dilution step in which specimens in viral transport medium are diluted 40-fold in dilution buffer. The diluted samples are mixed with HDA reagents. Incubation at 64°C results in the release of the HSV DNA and subsequent isothermal amplification of the target sequence. A competitive internal control (IC) is included in the Amplification Reagents to monitor inhibitory substances in negative samples, reagent failure or device failure.

After incubation for one hour, the amplified DNA is detected by two detection probes, one labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) for hybridizing to the HSV target and the other labeled with digoxigenin (DIG) for binding to the IC target. The hybrid of FITC-labeled probe and HSV amplicon is captured at the Test Line (T-Line) on the lateral-flow strip by anti-FITC antibodies, while the DIG-labeled IC amplicon is captured at the Control Line (C-Line) on the strip by anti-DIG antibodies. The biotin label in each amplicon captures the streptavidinconjugated color particles for visualization and the test result is shown as colored lines that are visually read.

The self-contained Type II BESt™ cassettes contain lateral-flow DNA detection strips coated with anti-FITC antibodies and anti-DIG antibodies that serve as T line and C line respectively in the assay. A positive result (detection of HSV DNA) is reported when the T line is visible through the detection window of the cassette. A negative result (no detection of HSV DNA) is reported when only the C line is displayed. The assay result is regarded as invalid when both the T line and C line are not present and the assay should be repeated.

Clinical Performance (Genital Samples)
SensitivityNot explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion for a specific value, but implicit expectation for adequate diagnostic performance compared to the reference method for regulatory clearance. The predicate device's performance would likely serve as a benchmark for substantial equivalence.97.1% (264/272) with 95% Confidence Interval: 94.3 – 98.5%
SpecificityNot explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion for a specific value, but implicit expectation for adequate diagnostic performance compared to the reference method for regulatory clearance.

SpecificityNot explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion for a specific value, but implicit expectation for adequate diagnostic performance compared to the reference method for regulatory clearance.87.4% (97/111) with 95% Confidence Interval: 79.9 - 92.3%
Retrospective Samples
Agreement with ReferenceAll retrospective samples positive by the reference method also shown positive by the IsoAmp® HSV Assay. (Implicit 100% agreement for this subset).All 32 retrospective samples (15 genital, 17 oral) were positive by both IsoAmp® HSV Assay and the reference assay.

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

  • Clinical Performance Test Set (Prospective and Retrospective combined): 994 swab samples.
    • Prospective Samples: 962 samples (803 genital, 159 oral).
    • Retrospective Samples: 32 samples (15 genital, 17 oral) tested at a single study site.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: United States.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: A mix of both. The majority (962) were prospectively collected, and a smaller number (32) were retrospectively collected.

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

  • The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth using the reference method (Cell Culture based ELVIS® HSV ID/Typing Test System). The ELVIS system is a commercial diagnostic kit, and its results would be interpreted according to its own instructions, potentially by trained laboratory personnel rather than clinical "experts" in the sense of physicians or radiologists.
  • For the discordant samples, "bidirectional sequence analysis" was used to resolve discrepancies, but the personnel performing and interpreting this analysis are not described.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The primary method for establishing ground truth was comparison to a "gold standard/reference method," the Cell Culture based ELVIS® HSV ID/Typing Test System.
  • For discordant results between the IsoAmp® HSV Assay and the ELVIS system, bidirectional sequence analysis was used as an adjudication method.
    • For genital samples: 35 samples discordant by the IsoAmp assay were tested by sequencing.
    • For oral samples: 14 samples discordant by the IsoAmp assay were tested by sequencing.
    • This suggests a process where sequencing served as a tie-breaker or a higher-fidelity reference for ambiguous cases.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
  • This study evaluated a diagnostic assay (a lab test), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers in interpreting images or other complex data. Therefore, the concept of "how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance" does not apply here.

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

  • Yes, a standalone performance was done. The entire study tests the performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay as a complete system, which operates independently to produce a result, with visual reading of the lateral flow strip. There isn't a human interpreting images or data that the algorithm generates and then making a judgment. The visual reading of the T-line and C-line on the lateral flow strip could be considered the "human-in-the-loop" component for result interpretation, but the core performance data (sensitivity, specificity, LoD, etc.) reflects the assay's output as an isolated system. The results presented are for the device's output itself.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Reference Method: Cell Culture based ELVIS® HSV ID/Typing Test System. This is a recognized laboratory "gold standard" for HSV detection.
  • Adjudication for Discordant Results: Bidirectional sequence analysis. This is a highly accurate molecular method used to confirm the presence and type of viral DNA.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not explicitly mention a distinct "training set" for the IsoAmp® HSV Assay. This is common for molecular diagnostic assays like this, which are developed through iterative R&D processes (optimizing reagents, protocols, etc.) rather than supervised machine learning where a specific "training set" is used to teach an algorithm.
  • The analytical performance studies (LoD, cross-reactivity, interference) use spiked samples and cultured organisms, which contribute to the development and validation of the assay but are not typically referred to as a "training set" in the AI/ML sense.

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

  • As no explicit "training set" is described for an AI/ML context, this question is not directly applicable.
  • For the analytical studies (e.g., LoD, cross-reactivity), the "ground truth" for the samples used was established by:
    • Quantified cultures: For LoD studies, HSV strains were precisely quantified (TCID₅₀/mL).
    • Known organisms/DNA: For cross-reactivity, purified DNA and cultured organisms of known identity and concentration were used.
    • HSV-negative matrix pools: Used as negative controls and for diluting samples.
    • These are standard methods in in vitro diagnostic assay development to create samples with a known status.

III. Level of Detection (LoD)

A Limit of Detection (LoD) study was performed to determine the analytical sensitivity of the IsoAmp HSV Assay using two representative strains of HSV-1 and two representative strains of HSV-2. Quantified (TCID50/mL) cultures of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains were serially diluted to five (5) concentrations in HSVnegative matrix pools and tested in replicates of ten (10) on three (3)

{4}------------------------------------------------

reagent lots. The observed LoD of a HSV strain was determined as the lowest concentration level that had a positivity rate of >95%. Since two (2) representative strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 were used in the study, the higher LoD value was defined as the observed LoD for HSV-1 and HSV-2 respectively. Since the IsoAmp® HSV Assay does not differentiate viral types, the final assay LoD is defined as the higher of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 concentrations where 95% positivity was observed.

In addition, LoD confirmation studies were conducted to confirm the observed LoD for HSV-1 and HSV-2. The first confirmatory study included testing the four (4) representative HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains 20 times each at the corresponding observed LoD. Each strain was tested by three (3) reagent lots, and all four strains showed a positivity rate of 100%. In addition, twenty (20) HSV-1 and 20 HSV-2 clinical isolates were cultured and quantified in TCIDso/mL. Each isolate was diluted to the corresponding LoD in HSV-negative matrix and tested in triplicate. IsoAmp® HSV Assay was able to detect all 20 HSV-1 and 20 HSV-2 clinical isolates.

  • a. HSV-1
    The LoD for HSV-1 Strain 1 was determined to be 3.7 x 10° TCIDso/mL. At this concentration, 97% of samples were detected with a 95% Confidence Interval of 83.33% - 99.41%. The LoD for HSV-1 Strain 2 was determined to be 1.1 x 105 TCID50/mL. At this concentration, 100% of samples were detected with a 95% Confidence Interval of 88.65% - 100%. Therefore, the LoD for HSV-1 is 1.1 x 10° TCID50/mL.

Since the IsoAmp® HSV Assay does not differentiate viral types, the final assay LoD is defined as the higher of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 concentrations where 95% positivity was observed. The final assay LoD claim is 1.1 x 10-TCID50/mL.

IV. Cross Reactivity Testing (Analytical Specificity)

A cross-reactivity study was performed to determine if any organisms which may present with the same clinical symptoms as HSV, which are associated with bacterial vaginosis or which are commonly found in the genital track and oral area could give positive results with the IsoAmp® HSV Assay. Forty-eight (48) specificity panel members including purified DNA and cultured organisms were tested with the IsoAmp® HSV assay in triplicate following instructions in the Package Insert. No cross-reactivity was observed with any panel member tested at clinically significant concentrations.

Potentially interfering substances i.e. viral transport media, substances that might be present in clinical samples, and organisms/cross reactive panel members listed under cross reactivity were tested to confirm that they did not interfere with the performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay.

All interference testing was carried out in the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 at three times the observed LoD (3 x LoD). All test runs were conducted in triplicate. Controls were tested with each run.

a. Interfering Substances

Performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay was characterized in the presence of twenty-four (24) potentially interfering substances which could reasonably be expected to be present in genital and oral swab specimens. Interfering substances were tested at the highest ("worst case") concentration expected in clinical samples. The panel was also tested in triplicate in the absence of HSV to see if the potentially interfering substances interfere with the detection of the internal control. No interference was observed in the presence of the potential interfering substances tested.

b. Viral Transport Media

The performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay was assessed with Remel M4, Remel M5, Remel M4RT, Bartels VTM, and BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT). Each medium was tested after spiking with HSV-1 and HSV-2 strain to a final concentration of approximately 3 x LoD to determine if the viral transport media interferes with the detection of HSV targets in positive samples. The media were tested in the absence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 (medium only) to see if the viral transport media interferes with the detection of the internal control in negative samples. There was no interference observed with the Remel M4, Remel M4RT, Remel M5, Bartels VTM, and BD UVT media for the detection of HSV-1 and HSV- 2 target or the internal control. M4, M4RT, M5, Bartels VTM, and BD UVT did not interfere with the detection of HSV-1 and HSV-target or the internal control.

Cross-Reactivity Panel Members C.

The performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay was characterized by testing the organisms that were evaluated for analytical specificity and cross reactivity in the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains at 3xLoD separately to see if the presence of these organisms interferes with the detection of HSV target. Each panel member was tested in triplicate. None of the cross reactivity panel members interfered with the detection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 target.

VI. Carry-Over and Cross Contamination

Carry-over/Cross Contamination Study was done only with HSV-1 target since both HSV-1 and HSV-2 share a single set of primers and probes for target amplification and detection. The HSV-1 Strain 1 was used directly without dilution. Viral transport media was used as the negative sample. Ten (10) replicates of negative sample together with assay controls were run by two (2) operators to confirm that negative samples generate a negative result 100% of the time. Five (5) replicates of high-concentration positive and negative samples were tested in a series, alternating sample types. All results were

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

as expected. Negative samples tested were negative (10/10) and positive samples were positive (10/10).

Clinical Performance 7.0

The performance of the IsoAmp® HSV Assay was evaluated at five geographically diverse locations within the United States from 2010 - 2011. A total of nine hundred and ninetyfour (994) swab samples obtained from male and female genital and oral lesions were collected in Viral Transport Media (Remel M4, Remel M4RT, BD Universal Viral Transport and Bartels VTM) from the patient population ranging from <1 year to 92 years, and evaluated. Of the 994 specimens, 962 prospective samples and 32 retrospective samples were tested. Of the 962 prospective samples, 803 genital samples and 159 oral samples were tested. Of the 32 retrospective samples, 15 genital and 17 oral samples were tested at a single study site. Genital swab specimens were collected from vaginal, labial, penile and rectal lesions. Oral swab specimens were collected from lips, gums, and mouth.

The performance of the IsoAmp HSV Assay was compared with a gold standard/reference method i.e., Cell Culture based ELVIS® HSV ID/Typing Test System using an enzyme linked virus inducible system.

§ 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).
