No
The summary describes a standard RT-PCR diagnostic panel and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
This device is a diagnostic panel used for the qualitative detection and characterization of human influenza viruses, which aids in diagnosis and surveillance, rather than providing therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for use in real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assays... For qualitative detection of influenza virus type A or B... For determination of the subtype of seasonal human influenza A virus... For the presumptive identification of virus in patients...". These are all diagnostic purposes aimed at identifying or characterizing a medical condition.

No

The device is a diagnostic panel consisting of oligonucleotide primers and probes, which are physical reagents used in a laboratory setting. It is not solely software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "For qualitative detection of influenza virus type A or B from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens... and lower respiratory tract specimens... from human patients..." and "For determination of the subtype of seasonal human influenza A virus... from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens... and lower respiratory tract specimens... from human patients...". These are all diagnostic purposes performed in vitro (outside the body) on clinical specimens.
  • Device Description: The description states the panel is used "for the in vitro qualitative detection and characterization of human influenza viruses from viral RNA in respiratory specimens from patients presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI)." The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Clinical Specimen Testing: The performance studies describe testing on "human respiratory specimens," which are clinical samples.
  • Diagnostic Panel: The name of the device itself, "CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel," includes the word "Diagnostic."

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is a medical device intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is intended for use in real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assays on an Applied Biosystems (ABI) 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological information:

  • For qualitative detection of influenza virus type A or B from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens (including nasopharyngeal swabs [NPS], nasal swabs [NS], throat swabs [TS], nasal aspirates [NA], nasal washes [NW] and dual nasopharyngeal/throat swabs [NPS/TS], and lower respiratory tract specimens (including bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL], bronchial wash [BW], tracheal aspirate [TA], sputum, and lung tissue) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and/or from viral culture;
  • For determination of the subtype of seasonal human influenza A virus as seasonal A/H1, A/H3, and/or A/H1pdm09 from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens (including NPS, NS, TS, NA, NW and NPS/TS) and lower respiratory tract specimens (including BAL, BW, TA, sputum and lung tissue) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and/or from viral culture;
  • For the presumptive identification of virus in patients who may be infected with influenza A subtype A/H5 (Asian lineage) from viral RNA in human respiratory specimens and viral culture in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors;
  • To provide epidemiologic information for surveillance of circulating influenza viruses.

Performance characteristics for influenza were established during a season when influenza viruses A/H1 and A/H3 were the predominant influenza A viruses in circulation and during a season when the A/H1pdm09 influenza virus was the predominant influenza A virus in circulation. Performance characteristics may vary with other emerging influenza A viruses.

Testing with the influenza H5a and H5b primer and probe sets should not be performed unless the patient meets the most current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) clinical and epidemiologic criteria for testing suspect A/H5 specimens. The definitive identification of influenza A/H5 (Asian lineage) either directly from patient specimens or from virus cultures requires additional laboratory testing, along with clinical and epidemiological assessment in consultation with national influenza surveillance experts.

Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Conversely, positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.

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 CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is used in real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assays on the ABI 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument. The panel consists of oligonucleotide primers and dual-labeled hydrolysis (TaqMan®) probes to be used in rRT-PCR for the in vitro qualitative detection and characterization of human influenza viruses from viral RNA in respiratory specimens from patients presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI).

The CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is based on technology which is used in many molecular diagnostic assays. rRT-PCR assays are one-tube assays that first reversetranscribe specific regions of RNA into cDNA copies. The cDNA then serves as a template for a polymerase chain reaction that utilizes a thermocyclic heating and cooling of the reaction to logarithmically amplify a specific region of DNA. The probe anneals to a specific internal target sequence located between the target loci of the forward and reverse primers. During the extension phase of the PCR cycle, the 5' nuclease activity of Tag polymerase degrades any probe molecules hybridized to amplified target sequence, causing the reporter dye to separate from the quencher dye, and generating a fluorescent signal. With each cycle, additional reporter dye molecules are cleaved from their respective probes, increasing the fluorescence intensity. Fluorescence intensity is monitored at each PCR cycle. Amplification of targets is reflected by logarithmic increase in fluorescence over time in comparison to the background signal.

Risk Analysis

The risk analysis for the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel was reviewed to verify that the change did not present increased or new risks to the user. No new risks were identified as a result of the proposed modification. As an additional mitigation, specimens containing influenza A (H3N2)v viruses will continue to be referred immediately to the CDC for further confirmation.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The changes proposed to the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel do not alter the device's design or technological attributes. In additions for use and intended use of the device will remain the same. It is only the interpretation of the results that will be modified, allowing users to report the result as a presumptive positive for influenza A (H3N2) variant virus instead of inconclusive. This information, along with the results of the performance testing, demonstrates that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

2. Indications for Use Statement

510(k) Number (if known): K123905

Device Name: CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel

The CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is intended for use in real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assays on an Applied Biosystems (ABI) 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological information:

  • For qualitative detection of influenza virus type A or B from viral RNA in upper . respiratory tract clinical specimens (including nasopharyngeal swabs [NPS], nasal swabs [NS], throat swabs [TS], nasal aspirates [NA], nasal washes [NW] and dual nasopharyngeal/throat swabs [NPS/TS], and lower respiratory tract specimens (including bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL], bronchial wash [BW], tracheal aspirate [TA], sputum, and lung tissue) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and/or from viral culture;
  • For determination of the subtype of seasonal human influenza A virus as seasonal A/H1, . A/H3, and/or A/H1pdm09 from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens (including NPS, NS, TS, NA, NW and NPS/TS) and lower respiratory tract specimens (including BAL, BW, TA, sputum and lung tissue) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and/or from viral culture;
  • For the presumptive identification of virus in patients who may be infected with influenza . A subtype A/H5 (Asian lineage) from viral RNA in human respiratory specimens and viral culture in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors;
  • To provide epidemiologic information for surveillance of circulating influenza viruses. .

Performance characteristics for influenza were established during a season when influenza viruses A/H1 and A/H3 were the predominant influenza A viruses in circulation and during a season when the A/H1pdm09 influenza virus was the predominant influenza A virus in circulation. Performance characteristics may vary with other emerging influenza A viruses.

Testing with the influenza H5a and H5b primer and probe sets should not be performed unless the patient meets the most current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) clinical and epidemiologic criteria for testing suspect A/H5 specimens. The definitive identification of influenza A/H5 (Asian lineage) either directly from patient specimens or from virus cultures requires additional laboratory testing, along with clinical and epidemiological assessment in consultation with national influenza surveillance experts.

Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Conversely, positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.

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.
