The SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test is a rapid membrane enzyme immunoassay for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) in a single test device. It is intended for use with human fecal samples from patients with gastrointestinal symptoms to aid in the diagnosis of disease caused by Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC). It may be used with fecal specimens, or broth or plate cultures derived from fecal specimens. The test results should be considered in conjunction with the patient history.

FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

Device Description

The SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test utilizes specific antibodies against Stx1 and Stx2. The Membrane Device contains a Reaction Window with three vertical lines of immobilized antibodies. The "1" test line contains monoclonal antibodies against Stx1. The control line ("C") is a dotted line that contains anti-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) antibodies. The "2" test line contains monoclonal antibodies against Stx2. The Conjugate consists of antibodies to Stx1 and Stx2 coupled to horseradish peroxidase. To perform the test, the sample is added to a tube containing a mixture of Diluent and Conjugate. The diluted sample-coniugate mixture is added to the Sample Well and the device is allowed to incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes. During the incubation, any Stx1 and/or Stx2 present in the sample binds to the antibodyperoxidase conjugates. The toxin-antibody-peroxidase complexes migrate through a filter pad to a membrane where they are captured by the immobilized Stx1 and Stx2 specific monoclonal antibodies in the test lines. The Reaction Window is subsequently washed with Wash Buffer, followed by the addition of Substrate. After a 10 minute incubation period, the Reaction Window is examined visually for the appearance of vertical blue lines on the "1" and "2" sides of the Reaction Window. A blue line on the "1" side of the Reaction Window is a positive result indicating the presence of Stx1. A blue line on the "2" side of the Reaction Window is a positive result indicating the presence of Stx2. A positive "C" reaction, indicated by a vertical dotted blue line under the "C" portion of the Reaction Window, confirms that the test is working properly, the procedure was followed, and the results are valid.

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

Direct Fecal Testing:
- Sample Size: 887 specimens (873 fresh, 14 frozen).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the study was conducted at 3 independent sites, implying clinical samples collected from patients. It does not specify country of origin or whether samples were prospective or retrospective, only that age and sex information was available for 878 patients.
Broth Cultures Testing:
- Sample Size: 770 specimens (overnight broth cultures from fecal specimens).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but derived from fecal specimens.

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 of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., number of years of experience).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method for disagreements. The comparison was made against a single "gold standard" reference method.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not mentioned. This device is an in vitro diagnostic device for lab use, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Intended Use

Explanation

Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) were first described by O' Brien, et al, after discovering that E. coli culture supernatant, which was cytotoxic to HeLa and Vero cells, could be neutralized by rabbit antibodies. STEC cause foodborne and waterborne diarrheal disease worldwide which, if left undiagnosed, can progress to hemorrhagic colitis and/or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Since certain treatments and medications can increase the risk of HUS, prompt detection is necessary to prevent outbreaks and secondary transmission. STEC strain 0157:H7 has historically been the focus of attention in the United States since first isolated from undercooked hamburgers, causing an estimated 73,000 illnesses annually. However, STEC infections caused by non-O157 strains have become more prevalent in recent years, both in the United States as well as abroad. 0157:H7 infections are routinely diagnosed by culture of fecal samples on selective media, but this methodology allows non-0157 STEC strains to go undetected. STEC produce either one or both Shiga toxins (Stx1 and/or Stx2), both potent cytotoxins. Isolates producing only Stx2 have been attributed to higher incidence rates of HUS. Shiga toxins can be detected by tissue culture assay, but this method is both time consuming and labor intensive. By detecting the SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test can detect STEC present in fecal samples or culture, regardless of the serotype or other virulence factors.

Reproducibility

The reproducibility of the SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test was determined using 12 fecal specimens that were coded to prevent their identification during testing. Testing was performed at 2 independent laboratories and on-site at TECHLAB®, Inc. The samples were tested, twice a day over a 5-day period by multiple technicians at each site using 2 different kit lots. A positive and negative control was run with each panel of the masked samples. The results from each laboratory were submitted to TECHLAB®, Inc. and compared with in-house results. The results were consistent among the different locations, and exhibited a correlation of 100%. The samples produced the expected results 100% of the time.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Analytical Sensitivity

The cutoff for the SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test was established at concentrations of 0.04 ng/mL Stx1 and 0.04 ng/mL Stx2.

Determination of Limitation of Detection (LOD) - cutoff points for Stx1 and Stx2 directly from fecal specimens:

The data below was determined following EP17A - "Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation: Approved Guideline".

The cutoff point for Stx1 was determined by using highly purified Stx1, and was defined as the concentration of toxin which yielded positive results 95% of the time, and negative results 5% of the time. The cutoff point was determined empirically by testing dilutions of Sb1 in a negative fecal pool. in replicates of 20. Using this method. the cutoff was found to be 0.042 ng/mL. A concentration of 0.025 ng/mL was positive 50% of the time, and a concentration of 0.022 ng/mL was negative 95% of the time.

The cutoff point for Stx2 was determined by using highly purified Stx2, and was defined as the concentration of toxin which yielded positive results 95% of the time, and negative results 5% of the time. The cutoff point was determined empirically by testing dilutions of Stx2 in a negative fecal pool, in replicates of 20. Using this method, the cutoff was found to be 0.039 ng/mL. A concentration of 0.025 ng/mL was positive 50% of the time, and a concentration of 0.013 ng/mL was negative 95% of the time.

Determination of Limitation of Detection (LOD) - cutoff points for Stx1 and Stx2 from broth cultures:

The cutoff point for Stx1 was determined by using highly purified Stx1, and was defined as the concentration of toxin which yielded positive results 95% of the time, and negative results 5% of the time. The cutoff point was determined empirically by testing dilutions of Stx1 in overnight GN broth culture of non-toxin producing E. Coli 0157 (ATCC 04388), in replicates of 20. Using this method, the cutoff was found to be 0.042 ng/mL. A concentration of 0.025 ng/mL was positive 50% of the time, and a concentration of 0.010 ng/mL was negative 95% of the time.

The cutoff point for Stx2 was determined by using highly purified Stx2, and was defined as the concentration of toxin which yielded positive results 95% of the time, and negative results 5% of the time. The cutoff point was determined empirically by testing dilutions of Stx2 in overnight GN broth culture of non-toxin producing E. Coli 0157 (ATCC 04388), in replicates of 20. Using this method, the cutoff was found to be 0.039 ng/ml.. A concentration of 0.025 ng/mL was positive 50% of the time, and a concentration of 0.013 ng/mL was negative 95% of the time.

In conclusion, the data generated for Determination of Limitation of Detection (LOD). support Package Insert claims of analytical sensitivity for Stx1 at 0.04 ng/mL and Stx2 at 0.04 ng/mL.

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

Interference from High Analyte Concentrations

A study was performed to ensure that a high concentration of Stx1 toxin does not interfere with the detection of Stx2 toxin, or high concentrations of Stx2 toxin do not interfere with the detection of Stx1 toxin. Low and high concentrations were based on either 100x (high) or 3x (low) concentrations of Stx1 and Stx2 toxin. Low samples were prepared by spiking a negative fecal pool with 3x the 95% cutoff (LOD) for either toxin. High samples were prepared by spiking a negative fecal pool with 100x the 95% cutoff for either toxin. Testing was performed in triplicate according to the Package Insert instructions for direct testing. The results demonstrated that elevated levels of one analyte did not affect the detection of the other analyte.

Precision - Intra-Assay

For the determination of intra-assay performance, 6 positive fecal specimens (two positive for Stx1, two positive for Stx2, two positive for both Stx1 and Stx2) and six negative fecal specimens were analyzed. Each specimen was assayed on 5 cassettes. All positives remained positive and all negatives remained negative.

Precision - Inter-Assay

The inter-assay precision of the SHIGA TOXIN QUIK CHEK test was determined using 12 fecal specimens (six negative, two positive for Stx1. two positive for Stx2. and two positive for both Stx1 and Stx2). The samples were tested, twice a day over a 5-day period using 2 different kit lots. A positive and negative control was run on each day. All positives remained positive and all negatives remained negative.

Conclusion

The information submitted in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 866.3255

Escherichia coli serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Escherichia coli serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identifyEscherichia coli from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. Additionally, some of these reagents consist ofEscherichia coli antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identifyEscherichia coli directly from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium belonging to the genusEscherichia, and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by this microorganism. AlthoughEscherichia coli constitutes the greater part of the microorganisms found in the intestinal tract in humans and is usually nonpathogenic, those strains which are pathogenic may cause urinary tract infections or epidemic diarrheal disease, especially in children.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.
