Overview

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Prodesse® ProGastro SSCS Assav is a multiplex real time PCR in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and differentiation of Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter (C. jejimi and C. coli only, undifferentiated) nucleic acids and Shiga Toxin 1 (stxl) and Shiga Toxin 2 (stx2) genes. Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) typically harbor one or both genes that encode for Shiga Toxins I and 2. Nucleic acids are isolated and purified from preserved stool specimens obtained from symptomatic patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis. This test is intended for use, in conjunction with clinical presentation and epidemiological risk factors, as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni/Campylobacter coli, and STEC infections in humans.

The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms that are are not detected by this test, and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative ProGastro SSCS Assay results in the setting of clinical illness compatible with gastroenteritis may be due to infection by pathogens that are not detected by this test or non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease.

Device Description

The ProGastro SSCS Assay enables detection and differentiation of Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter (C. jejuni and C. coli only, undifferentiated) and an Internal Control in the SSC Mix and Shiga Toxin Producing E. coli (STEC, stx1 and stx2 differentiated) and an Internal Control in the STEC Mix.

An overview of the procedure is as follows:

1. Collect raw stool specimens from symptomatic patients and place into Cary Blair Transport Medium or ParaPak C&S (C&S) Transport Medium .
1. Add the Gastro RNA/DNA Internal Control (GIC) to every sample to monitor for inhibitors present in the specimens.
1. Perform isolation and purification of nucleic acids using a NucliSENS easyMAG System and the Automated Magnetic Extraction Reagents (bioMérieux).
1. Add purified nucleic acids to the SSC Mix included in the ProGastro SSCS Assay Kit. The SSC Mix contains target-specific oligonucleotide primers and probes for detection of Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter (C. jejuni and C. coli only). The primers and probes are complementary to highly conserved regions of genetic sequences for these organisms. The probes are dual-labeled with a reporter dye and a quencher (see table below).
1. Add purified nucleic acids to the STEC Mix included in the ProGastro SSCS Assay Kit. The STEC Mix contains target-specific oligonucleotide primers and probes for detection of Shiga Toxin 1 and 2 genes (stxl and stx2). The primers and probes are complementary to highly conserved regions of these genes. The probes are dual-labeled with a reporter dye and a quencher (see table below).
1. Perform amplification of DNA in a Cepheid SmartCycler II instrument. In this process, the probe anneals specifically to the template followed by primer extension and amplification. The ProGastro SSCS Assay is based on Tagman reagent chemistry, which utilizes the 5' - 3' exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase to cleave the probe thus separating the reporter dye from the quencher. This generates an increase in fluorescent signal upon excitation from a light source. With each cycle, additional reporter dye molecules are cleaved from their respective probes, further increasing fluorescent signal. The amount of fluorescence at any given cycle is dependent on the amount of amplification products present at that time. Fluorescent intensity is monitored during each PCR cycle by the real-time instrument.

Clinical Performance

Prospective Study

The clinical performance of the ProGastro SSCS Assay was established during prospective studies at four U.S. clinical laboratories. Leftover stool samples were collected during July 2011 - November 2011 and May 2012 - July 2012 and tested during November 2011 thru August 2012. All specimens used in the study meeting the inclusion criteria represented excess remnants of stool specimens that were prospectively collected from symptomatic individuals suspected of gastrointestimal infection, and were submitted for routine care or analysis by each site, and that otherwise would have been discarded.

Demographic details for the patient population included in the prospective study are summarized in the following table.

Sex	Number of Samples SSC Mix	Number of Samples STEC Mix
Male	615/1214 (50.6%)	615/1214 (50.6%)

Unknown	19/1214 (1.6%)	19/1214 (1.6%)

Performance of the ProGastro SSCS Assay was assessed and compared to the reference method of culture (Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Shigella) or broth enrichment followed by FDA cleared EIA test (Shiga Toxin producing E. coli). Samples positive for STEC by broth/EIA and/or the ProGastro SSCS Assay underwent PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing to confirm the presence of the stx 1 and/or stx2 genes. Two PCR/sequencing assays were used that each targeted different regions of the stxl or stx2 gene than the ProGastro SSCS Assay. "True" STEC positives were considered as any sample that tested positive for STEC by the broth/ElA method, and "True" STEC negatives were considered as any sample that tested negative for STEC by the broth/EIA method. "True" stx2 positives were considered as any sample that tested positive for STEC by the broth/E/A method and by PCR/sequencing. Bi-directional sequencing data was required to meet pre-defined quality acceptance criteria for both the forward and the reverse sequences that matched stx1 or stx2 sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), respectively, with acceptable E-values. The E-Value from NCBI BLAST Alignment indicates the statistical significance of a given pair-wise alignment and reflects the size of the database and the scoring system used. The lower the E-Value, the more significant the hit is. A sequence alignment that has an E-Value of le-3 means that this similarity has a 1 in 1000 chance of occurring by chance alone. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=handbook.section.614).

Discrepant results between the ProGastro SSCS Assav and the reference methods were also evaluated using analytically validated PCR/sequencing assays and results are footnoted in the performance tables below.

A total of 1214 patients were initially enrolled in the prospective clinical trial. Prospective stool specimens were initially included in the prospective clinical trial. Sixty-one (61) patient/specimens were excluded from the performance calculations due to deviations from the clinical study protocol. Fourteen (14) specimens were excluded for the SSC Mix and 14 were excluded for the STEC Mix from the prospective clinical study data analysis because they remained "Unresolved" after repeat testing with the respective ProGastro SSCS Assay Mix. Unresolved results occur when the sample is negative for all target detections and the Internal Control, indicating potentially PCR-inhibited samples, This resulted in a total of 1139 eligible prospective specimens to be included in the prospective clinical study data analysis.

There were no co-infections that were detected by the reference method and not detected by the ProGastro SSCS Assay.

Retrospective Study

In addition to the prospective clinical study, two clinical sites also performed testing using retrospective samples that were collected from 2007 - 2011. A total of 105 stool samples were included in the retrospective study. These samples had been previously determined to be positive or negative by culture and/or Broth Enrichment/ElA. The ProGastro SSCS Assay was compared to the same reference method that was employed for the prospective study to determine positive and negative percent agreement.

Demographic details for this patient population are summarized in the table below.

Of the prospective and retrospective specimens run using the SSC Mix Assay, 98.0% (1233/1258) of these specimens were successful on the first attempt. The remaining 25 (25/1258 = 2.0%) gave "Unresolved" results on the first attempt. An "Unresolved" result is generated when the Gastro Internal Control (GIC) fails to be detected in a clinical specimen. A failure of the GIC to be detected can occur if inhibitors are present in a sample or due to technical error (e.g., GIC not added prior to nucleic acid extraction). Of the 25 "Unresolved" specimens on the first attempt with sufficient nucleic acid for retest, 44.0% (11/25) gave a valid result on the second attempt. The remaining 14 were "Unresolved" on the second attempt.

Of the prospective and retrospective specimens run using the STEC Mix Assay, 97.9% (1232/1258) of these specimens were successful on the first attempt. The remaining 26 (26/1258 = 2.1%) gave "Unresolved" results on the first attempt. Of the 26 "Unresolved" specimens on the first attempt with sufficient nucleic acid for retest, 48.0% (12/25) gave a valid result on the second attempt. The remaining 14 were "Unresolved" on the second attempt.

Reproducibility

The reproducibility of the ProGastro SSCS Assay was evaluated at three laboratory sites. Reproducibility was assessed using a panel of 15 simulated samples that included medium positive, low positive (near the assav limit of

detection, ≥ 95% positive), and high negative (below the assay limit of detection, ≤ 95% positive) samples for each of the assay targets. The reproducibility panel and controls were run with the ProGastro SSCS Assay (SSC and STEC Mixes) at three sites by each of two operators per site for five days.

Note: The Campylobacter strains were tested at higher concentrations because Campylobacter is sensitive to environmental stressors including freezing where it loses viability. However, the average Ct value for the C. jejuni (ATCC 33291) Low Positives was 37.3, which is very close to the average Ct value of 38.8 for the same C. jejuni strain tested at the estimated LoD level in the Analytical Reactivity Study. The average Ct value for the C. coli (ATCC BAA-371) Low Positives was 35.6, which is very close to the average Ct value of 34.4 for the same C. coli strain tested at the estimated LoD level in the Analytical Reactivity Study. Therefore, the effective DNA concentrations of the C. jejuni (ATCC 33291) and C. codi (ATCC BAA-371) low positive samples tested in the Reproducibility Study are very close to the estimated LoD DNA concentrations for these two strains tested in the Analytical Reactivity Study.

Precision

The precision of the ProGastro SSCS Assay was evaluated internally using a panel of 15 simulated samples that included medium positive (near the assay limit of detection, ≥ 95% positive), and high negative (below the assay limit of detection, ≤ 95% positive) samples for each of the assay targets. A panel of 15 contrived samples including the necessary controls was run with the ProGastro SSCS Assay (SSC and STEC Mixes) by each of two operators for twelve days.

Indication for Use

510(k) Number: K123274

Device Name: ProGastro SSCS Assay

Indication For Use:

The Prodesse® ProGastro SSCS Assay is a multiplex real time PCR in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and differentiation of Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter (C. jejuni and C. coli only, undifferentiated) nucleic acids and Shiga Toxin 1 (stxl) and Shiga Toxin 2 (stx2) genes. Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) typically harbor one or both genes that encode for Shiga Toxins 1 and 2. Nucleic acids are isolated and purified from preserved stool specimens obtained from symptomatic patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis. This test is intended for use, in conjunction with clinical presentation and epidemiological risk factors, as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni/Campylobacter coli, and STEC infections in humans.

The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms that are not detected by this test, and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative ProGastro SSCS Assay results in the setting of clinical illness compatible with gastroenteritis may be due to infection by pathogens that are not detected by this test or non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease.
