Intended Use

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the qualitative detection and identification of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This in vitro diagnostic test is intended to aid in the differential diagnosis of RSV and hMPV infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This test is not intended to differentiate the two subtypes of RSV or the four genetic sub-lineages of hMPV.

Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and/or hMPV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, 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. The use of additional laboratory testing and clinical presentation must be considered in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection.

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay can be performed using either the Life Technologies QuantStudio™ Dx RT-PCR Instrument, the Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Dx RT-PCR Instrument, or the Cepheid SmartCycler® II System.

Device Description

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay detects viral nucleic acids that have been extracted from a patient sample using the bioMérieux 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, the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx. or the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx. Identification of RSV, hMPV, and the process control (PRC) occurs by the use of target-specific primers and fluorescent-labeled probes that hybridize to conserved regions in the genomes of RSV and hMPV and the PRC.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • RSV: 700 nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens (after removing 13 invalid specimens from an initial 713).
    • hMPV: 707 nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens (after removing 6 invalid specimens from an initial 713).
  • Data Provenance: Prospective study conducted during the 2013 respiratory virus season (January to March 2013) at three sites across the United States.

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

The ground truth for the clinical performance study was established by two FDA-cleared RT-PCR assays (Prodesse ProFlu+ and Pro hMPV+), rather than human experts. Thus, information about the number and qualifications of experts is not applicable to this study design.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The ground truth was established by two FDA-cleared predicate RT-PCR assays. The document does not describe an explicit adjudication method between these predicate devices or between the predicate devices and an independent reference standard. For each virus (RSV and hMPV) separately, the results of the Quidel Molecular assay were compared directly against the respective predicate device's results.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study compares the performance of a molecular diagnostic assay against other molecular diagnostic assays, not the performance of human readers with and without AI assistance.

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

Yes, the study describes the "standalone" performance of the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay. It is a molecular diagnostic test that produces a qualitative result (positive/negative) based on the detection of viral nucleic acids through RT-PCR, without human interpretation of complex images or data that would typically involve a "human-in-the-loop" decision process. The output is directly generated by the instrument based on the fluorescent signal.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the clinical performance study was established using comparison to FDA-cleared RT-PCR predicate devices. Specifically:

  • For RSV, the predicate device was Prodesse ProFlu+.
  • For hMPV, the predicate device was Prodesse Pro hMPV+.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" for the purpose of algorithm development or machine learning in the conventional sense. This is a molecular diagnostic assay where primers and probes are designed to target specific viral genes. The "development" of the assay involves optimizing reaction conditions, not training a machine learning model. Therefore, providing a sample size for a training set in this context is not applicable.

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

As noted above, the concept of a "training set" for this type of molecular diagnostic assay is not directly applicable. The "ground truth" for developing the analytical performance characteristics (like LoD, inclusivity, specificity) would have been established through controlled laboratory experiments using known quantities and strains of viruses, and known negative samples. These are standard methods in the development of PCR-based diagnostics.

Device Name:

Trade name - Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay Classification name - Respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay Product Code - OEM, OCC Regulation - 21 CFR 866.3980 Classification - Class II

Device Description:

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay detects viral nucleic acids that have been extracted from a patient sample using the bioMérieux 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, the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx. or the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx. Identification of RSV, hMPV, and the process control (PRC) occurs by the use of target-specific primers and fluorescent-labeled probes that hybridize to conserved regions in the genomes of RSV and hMPV and the PRC.

The following is a summary of the procedure:

{1}------------------------------------------------

  • Sample Collection: Obtain nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens using | . standard techniques from symptomatic patients. Transport, store, and process these specimens according to established laboratory procedures.
    1. Nucleic Acid Extraction: Extract nucleic acids from the specimens with the BioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System following the manufacturer's instructions and using the appropriate reagents.

Prior to the extraction procedure. add 20 uL of the 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 confirms that the nucleic acid extraction was sufficient.

    1. Rehydration of Master Mix: Rehydrate the lyophilized Master Mix using the Rehydration Solution. The Master Mix contains oligonucleotide primers and fluorophore/quencher-labeled probes that target conserved regions of RSV and hMPV. as well as the PRC.
    1. Nucleic Acid Amplification and Detection: Add 15 uL of the rehydrated Master Mix to each reaction tube or plate well. Then add 5 µL of extracted nucleic acids (specimen with PRC) to the plate well or appropriately labeled reaction tube. Place the tube or plate into the SmartCycler II, 7500 Fast Dx, or the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx instruments.

Once the reaction tube or plate is added to the instrument, initiate the assay protocol. This protocol initiates reverse transcription of the RNA targets. generating complementary DNA and the subsequent amplification of the target amplicons. The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay is based on TagMan 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, the sample is reported as positive for the detected nucleic acid.

Intended Use:

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the qualitative detection and identification of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.

aid in the differential diagnosis of RSV and hMPV infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This test is not intended to differentiate the two subtypes of RSV or the four genetic sub-lineages of hMPV.

Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and/or hMPV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, 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. The use of additional laboratory testing and clinical presentation must be considered in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection.

Analytical Performance:

Reproducibility:

The reproducibility of the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay using the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument was evaluated at 3 laboratory sites (two external, one in-house). Reproducibility was assessed using a panel of 4 simulated samples that include medium positive, low positive, high negative, and negative samples. Separate panels were constructed for RSV and hMPV, using the RSV-A Long strain and hMPV-A2 strain respectively. Panels and controls were extracted using the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System and 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.

Precision

The precision of the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay using the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument was determined using quantified dilutions of RSV and hMPV stocks (10X, 3X, and 0.15X LoD). These dilutions were tested by two operators for twelve days. The data from this study indicates that when tested on the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument, the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay produces repeatable, precise results.

Limit of Detection

The analytical sensitivity (limit of detection or LoD) of the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay using the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument was determined using quantified (TCID50mL) cultures of 2 RSV strains (RSV-A Long

{9}------------------------------------------------

and RSV-B Washington strains) and 4 hMPV strains (hMPV A1, hMPV A2, hMPV B1, and hMPV B2 strains) serially diluted in negative nasal matrix. Each dilution was extracted in replicates of 20 per concentration of virus using the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System. Analytical sensitivity (LoD) is defined as the lowest concentration at which 95% of all replicates tested positive.

Carryover and Cross-contamination Studies

In an internal study there was no evidence of carry-over/cross contamination on the OuantStudio Dx thermocycler platform when the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay was used to detect the presence of high concentrations of RSV-B and hMPV-A1 (2.57E+06 and 3.16E+07. respectively) extracted with the BioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System.

Competitive Interference

A study was performed to determine whether competitive interference exists when both RSV and hMPV analytes are present in the same reaction when tested on the Life Technologies OuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument. Results showed that at 2X LoD hMPV was inhibited at a level 10,000X above LoD of RSV-A when tested on the QuantStudio Dx. Inhibition was also seen at this concentration on the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx and Cepheid SmartCycler II (K122189).

Clinical Performance:

Performance characteristics of the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay using the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument was established during a prospective study during the 2013 respiratory virus season (January to March 2013). Seven hundred and thirteen (713) nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens that were collected and extracted fresh for routine respiratory virus testing were used for this study at three (3) sites across the United States. A single specimen was collected per patient.

{10}------------------------------------------------

The specimens were extracted with the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System and tested with the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay using the Life Technologies QuantStudio Dx RT-PCR Instrument. Sites 1 and 2 also extracted each specimen with the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System and tested with the comparator devices. Aliquots of each specimen from Site 3 were sent to Site 1 for testing with the comparator devices. Sample extracts were stored at -70℃ until the time of testing.

Combined Clinical Site Data:

Seven hundred and thirteen (713) nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens were tested by both the subject and comparator device for RSV viral RNA. A total of thirteen (13) invalid specimens were removed from the analysis. Two (2) of these specimens were invalid on initial and repeat testing with the subject device (0.3%). Eleven (11) specimens were invalid on initial and repeat testing on the comparator device (1.5%). The table below details the results for the remaining seven hundred (700) specimens.

Indications for Use

510(k) Number: K131813

Device Name: Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay

Indications for Use:

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the qualitative detection and identification of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from nasal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This in vitro diagnostic test is intended to aid in the differential diagnosis of RSV and hMPV infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This test is not intended to differentiate the two subtypes of RSV or the four genetic sub-lineages of hMPV.

Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and/or hMPV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, 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. The use of additional laboratory testing and clinical presentation must be considered in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection.

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV Assay can be performed using either the Life Technologies QuantStudio™ Dx RT-PCR Instrument, the Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Dx RT-PCR Instrument, or the Cepheid SmartCycler® II System.

(a)
Identification. A respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple viral nucleic acids extracted from human respiratory specimens or viral culture. The detection and identification of a specific viral nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. The device is intended for detection and identification of a combination of the following viruses:(1) Influenza A and Influenza B;
(2) Influenza A subtype H1 and Influenza A subtype H3;
(3) Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B;
(4) Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus;
(5) Human Metapneumovirus;
(6) Rhinovirus; and
(7) Adenovirus.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(1) FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Respiratory Viral Panel Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay;”
