Intended Use
The Quidel® Molecular Influenza A+B assay is a multiplex Real Time RT-PCR assay for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B viral RNA in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A and influenza B viral infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The assay does not detect the presence of influenza C virus. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions. Performance characteristics for influenza A were established during the 2010 to 2011 influenza season when influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 influenza 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 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
The Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B Assay detects viral RNA that have been extracted from a patient sample using the NucliSENS® easyMAG® automated extraction platform. A multiplex RT-PCR reaction is carried out under optimized conditions in a single tube generating amplicons for each of the target viruses present in the sample. This reaction is performed utilizing the Cepheid SmartCycler® II platform. Identification of influenza A occurs by the use of target specific primers and a fluorescent- labeled probe that hybridizes to a conserved influenza A sequence within the matrix protein gene. Identification of influenza B occurs by the use of target specific primers and fluorescentlabeled probes that will hybridize to a conserved influenza B sequence within the neuraminidase gene. The following is a summary of the procedure: 1. Sample Collection: Obtain nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal swabs specimens using standard techniques from symptomatic patients. These specimens are transported, stored, and processed according to established laboratory procedures. 2. Nucleic Acid Extraction: Extract Nucleic Acids from the specimens with the NucliSENS easyMAG System following the manufacturer's instructions using the appropriate reagents. Prior to the extraction procedure add 20 µL of the Process Control (PRC) to each 180 uL aliquot of specimen. The PRC serves to monitor inhibitors in the extracted specimen, assures that adequate amplification has taken place and that nucleic acid extraction was sufficient. 3. Rehydration of Master Mix: Rehydrate the lyophilized Master Mix using 135uL of Rehydration Solution. The Master Mix contains oligonucleotide primers. fluorophore and quencher-labeled probes targeting highly conserved regions of the influenza A and influenza B viruses as well as the process control sequence. The primers are complementary to highly specific and conserved regions in the genome of these viruses. The probes are dual labeled with a reporter dye attached to the 5'end and a quencher attached to the 3' end. The rehydrated Master Mix is sufficient for eight reactions. 4. Nucleic Acid Amplification and Detection: Add 15 µL of the rehydrated Master Mix to each reaction tube. SuL of extracted nucleic acids (specimen with PRC) is then added to the tube. Then place the tube into the Cepheid SmartCycler® II. Once the reaction tubes are added to the instrument, the assay protocol is initiated. This protocol initiates reverse transcription of the RNA targets generating complementary DNA, and the subsequent amplification of the target amplicons occurs. The Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B assay is based on TaqMan® chemistry, and uses an enzyme with reverse transcriptase, DNA polymerase, and 5'-3' exonuclease activities. During DNA amplification, this enzyme cleaves the probe bound to the complementary DNA sequence, separating the quencher dye from the reporter dye. This step generates an increase in fluorescent signal upon excitation by a light source of the appropriate wavelength. With each cycle, additional dye molecules are separated from their quenchers resulting in additional signal. If sufficient fluorescence is achieved by 45 cycles, the sample is reported as positive for the detected nucleic acid.

Analytical Performance:

Precision/Reproducibility:

The reproducibility of the Quidel Molecular Influenza A and B assay was evaluated at 3 laboratory sites. Reproducibility was assessed using a panel of 4 simulated samples that include medium (5x LoD) and low (2x LoD), high negative (0.3x LoD) influenza A (A/Mexico/4108/2009), influenza B (B/Florida/04/2006) and negative samples. Panels and controls were tested at each site by 2 operators for 5 days (triplicate testing x 2 operators x 5 days x 3 sites = 90 results per level for each virus). The LoD values are based on the values obtained in the LoD study. The panels and controls were extracted using the bioMérieux easyMAG system and tested on the Cepheid SmartCycler II.

Clinical Performance:

Prospective Clinical Study

Performance characteristics of the Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B assay using the Cepheid SmartCycler® II instrument were established during a prospective study during the 2010-2011 respiratory virus season (January to March 2011). Samples used for this study were fresh nasal (427) and nasopharyngeal (352) swab specimens that were collected for routine influenza testing at thirteen sites across the United States. A single specimen was collected per patient and tested within 72-hours of collection at one central location.

14

A comparator method (a high performance FDA Cleared Influenza A and B molecular test) was used in the evaluation of the Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B assay.

Seven hundred and seventy-nine (779) fresh specimens (427 nasal swabs and 352 nasopharyngeal swabs) were tested by both the subject and comparator device for influenza A and influenza B virus viral RNA. Twelve of these specimens were invalid on initial testing with the subject device (1.5%). Retesting of the specimens according to the Interpretation algorithm described above also yielded invalid results. Twenty-three specimens were invalid on initial and repeat testing (as per the device's PI) on the comparator device (3.0%). Nine specimens were invalid in both devices, therefore, a total of twenty-six invalid specimens have been removed from additional analysis. The table below details the results for the remaining 753 specimens.

15

The prospective clinical study had a dual infection rate for Influenza A and Influenza B of 2.4% (18/753) using the Quidel Molecular Influenza A + B Assay. Three of these dual infections were concordant with the FDA Cleared RT-PCR device comparator assay. Three of these dual infections were discordant with the Influenza A results from the FDA Cleared RT-PCR device comparator assay. Twelve of these dual infections were discordant with the Influenza B results from the FDA Cleared RT-PCR device comparator assay.

Retrospective Study

Performance of the Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B assay using the Cepheid SmartCycler® II instrument were also evaluated during a retrospective study of frozen specimens collected during the 2010-2011 respiratory virus season (January to March of 2011). Samples tested in this study were frozen nasopharyngeal (356) swab specimens that were collected for routine influenza testing.

For this study the comparator method was high performance FDA Cleared influenza A and B molecular device.

Three hundred fifty six (356) frozen nasopharyngeal swabs were tested by both the subject and comparator devices for influenza A and influenza B virus viral RNA. Two of these specimens were invalid on initial testing with the subject device (0.6%). Re-testing of the specimens according to the Interpretation algorithm described above also yielded invalid results. Two specimens were invalid on initial and repeat testing (as per the device's PI) on the comparator device (0.6%). The invalid specimens were removed from performance analyses. The table below details the results for the remaining 352 specimens.

510(k) Number K113777:

Device Name: Ouidel Molecular Influenza A+B Assay

Indication for Use:

The Ouidel® Molecular Influenza A+B assay is a multiplex Real Time RT-PCR assay for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B viral RNA in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A and influenza B viral infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The assay does not detect the presence of influenza C virus.

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

Performance characteristics for influenza A were established during the 2011 influenza season when influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 influenza 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 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.
