Intended Use

The BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a chromatographic immunoassay with an instrumented read for the direct and qualitative detection of RSV fusion protein from nasopharyngeal washes/aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs in transport media from patients suspected of having a viral respiratory infection. This test is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to aid in the diagnosis of RSV infections in infants and pediatric patients under the age of 20 years. Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or for other management decisions. A negative test is presumptive. It is recommended that negative test results be confirmed by viral cell culture or an alternative method, such as a FDA-cleared molecular assay. The test is intended for professional and laboratory use. It is to be used in conjunction with the BD Veritor ™ System Reader.

Device Description

The BD RSV test is a chromatographic assay to qualitatively detect RSV fusion protein in samples processed from respiratory specimens. The processed specimen is added to the test device where RSV viral antigens bind to anti-RSV antibodies conjugated to detector particles on the RSV test strip. The antigen-conjugate complex migrates across the test strip to the reaction area and is captured by an antibody line on the membrane. Results are interpreted by the BD Veritor™ System Reader, a portable electronic device which uses a reflectance-based measurement method to evaluate the line signal intensities on the assay test strip, and applies specific algorithms to determine the presence or absence of any target analyte(s). A liquid crystal display (LCD) on the instrument communicates the results to the operator.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of RSV, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a separate table. However, based on the clinical study results and comparisons, the implicit criteria are high sensitivity and specificity relative to viral cell culture.

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Context - comparable to predicate/clinical needs)Reported Device Performance (BD Veritor™ System for RSV)

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: 1146 prospectively collected specimens.
    • 440 Nasopharyngeal Wash / Aspirates (NPWA)
    • 706 Nasopharyngeal Swabs (NPS)
  • Data Provenance: From five U.S. trial sites during the 2011-2012 respiratory season. The data is prospective, as indicated by "prospectively collected specimens."

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

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth. It states that the ground truth was "an FDA cleared D3 Duet™ DFA on R-Mix cell culture," which is a laboratory method, not directly human experts.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method for the test set.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance (or in this case, instrumented read) was not explicitly described. This is a point-of-care diagnostic device with an instrumented reader, not an AI for image analysis where human readers' performance might be augmented. The device itself performs the interpretation.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, this study represents a standalone evaluation of the device. The BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of RSV test is an "instrumented read" system where the results are "interpreted by the BD Veritor™ System Reader... [which] applies specific algorithms to determine the presence or absence of any target analyte(s)." The clinical study compares this instrument's performance directly against the reference method (viral cell culture), indicating a standalone assessment.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used was viral cell culture (specifically, an "FDA cleared D3 Duet™ DFA on R-Mix cell culture"). For some discrepant results (BD Veritor RSV Positive, Viral Cell Culture negative specimens), an "FDA cleared Prodesse Pro Flu+ molecular assay" was used as a secondary confirmation method.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a separate training set size. The device uses "pre-set thresholds" and "specific algorithms" but the development and training details for these algorithms are not provided in this summary. The clinical study described is for validation/testing, not training.

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

Since a dedicated training set is not explicitly mentioned, the method for establishing ground truth for any internal algorithm development (if applicable) is not detailed in this 510(k) summary. The provided performance data pertains to the validation of the final device.

Media Compatibility

Different types of transport media commonly used for the preservation and transport of respiratory specimens were evaluated for compatibility with the BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of RSV test. The effects of frozen storage of transport media samples on the stability of the antigen were also evaluated in this study by storing them for 24 hours at -20 ± 5°C. The media tested were: Amies. Bartel ViraTrans. BD Universal. Earle's Minimal Essential, Hank's Balanced Salts, M4, M4-RT, M5, M6, Normal Saline, and Phosphate Buffered Saline. No interference or compatibility issues were seen.

CLINICAL STUDIES

Performance characteristics for the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of RSV test were established in multi-center clinical studies conducted at five U.S. trial sites during the 2011-2012 respiratory season. A total of 1174 prospectively collected specimens received in the laboratory with an order for respiratory virus testing were enrolled in the study, of which. 26 were noncompliant with the study protocol and one was noncompliant on the viral cell culture reference testing level. Removal of these specimens yields a total of 1147 specimens. One additional specimen had a final undetermined viral cell culture reference result which could not be verified. Removal of this specimen results in a total of 1146 specimens. A total of 1146 were evaluated using the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of RSV test and viral cell culture. The prospective specimens consisted of 440 Nasopharyngeal Wash /Aspirates (NPWA) and 706 nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in transport media from symptomatic patients. 44.3% of the samples were from females and 55.7% from males. 80% of patients were 2 years and under.

The performance of the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of RSV test was compared to an FDA cleared D3 Duet™ DFA on R-Mix cell culture and is presented in the following tables

§ 866.3480 Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents.

(a)
Identification. Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of respiratory syncytial virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) and used to identify respiratory syncytial viruses from clinical specimens or from tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses. Respiratory syncytial viruses cause a number of respiratory tract infections, including the common cold, pharyngitis, and infantile bronchopneumonia.(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 § 866.9.
