Intended Use
The Prodesse ProFlu™+ Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid and qualitative detection and discrimination of Influenza A Virus. Influenza B Virus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens obtained from symptomatic patients. This test is intended for use to aid in the differential diagnosis of Influenza A. Influenza B and RSV viral infections in humans and is not intended to detect Influenza C. Negative results do not preclude influenza or RSV virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other 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. Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation (2006 - 2007 respiratory season). Performance characteristics for Influenza A were confirmed when Influenza A/H1, Influenza A/H3, and Influenza A/2009 H1N1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation (2008 and 2009). When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary. 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 ProFlu+ Assay enables detection and discrimination of Influenza A Virus, Influenza B Virus, RSV and universal internal control nucleic acid. Nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected from patients with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection using a polyester, rayon or nylon tipped swab and placed into viral transport medium. A Universal Internal Control (UIC) is added to each sample prior to nucleic acid isolation to monitor for inhibitors present in the specimens. The isolation and purification of the nucleic acids is performed using either a MagNA Pure LC Instrument (Roche) and the MagNA Purc Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche) or a NucliSENS® easyMAG™ System (bioMérieux) and the Automated Magnetic Extraction Reagents (bioMérieux). The purified nucleic acids are added to Influenza B/RSV Mix along with enzymes included in the ProFlu+ Assay Kit. The Influenza A/Influenza B/RSV Mix contains oligonucleotide primers and target-specific oligonucleotide probes. The primers are complementary to highly conserved regions of genetic sequences for these respiratory viruses. The probes are dual-labeled with a reporter dye attached to the 5'-end and a quencher dye attached to the 3'-end. Reverse transcription of the RNA in the sample into complementary DNA (cDNA) and subsequent amplification of DNA is performed in a Cepheid SmartCycler® II instrument. In this process, the probe anneals specifically to the template followed by primer extension and amplification. The ProFity- Assay is based on Tagman chemistry, which utilizes the 5 - 3 exonuclease activity of the 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 SmartCyclerII instrument.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Verification/Validation Result for "Outsourcing of controls leading to minor changes in sequence Incorporation of a Universal Internal Control, containing both RNA and DNA internal control sequences.": The UIC did not affect the ability of the ProFlu+ Assay to detect target organisms at the limit of detection as evinced by the results of Analytical Sensitivity, IC Interference, Extractor Equivalency, and Sample Stability studies. Additionally, the results of a retrospective clinical comparison study demonstrated the modified ProFlu+ Assay with UIC continues to meet the performance claims for the current ProFlu+ Assay.

Verification/Validation Result for "Outsourcing of controls leading to minor changes in sequence Two modified positive controls (Inf. A/Inf. B/RSV A Control and RSV B Control) replacing current four positive controls. Modified positive controls provided "at use" concentration, no dilution is necessary.": Stability studies demonstrated current stability claims are met. Clinical validation of the modified positive controls demonstrated their continued ability to monitor for global assay failures.

*Verification/Validation Result for "Influenza A H3N2v and H7N9 Reactivity Claims"**: Results of the Reactivity Study demonstrated the ability of the ProFlu+ Assay to detect A/Indiana/10/2011 (H3N2v) and A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) nucleic acids at concentrations near the limit of detection of the assay.

Verification/Validation Result for "Increase the number of freeze-thaw cycles for the M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase and RNase Inhibitor II from five (5) to ten (10)": Stability studies demonstrated that ProFlu+ Assay performance was not affected when the MMLV Reverse Transcriptase and the RNase Inhibitor II underwent 10 freeze-thaw cycles.

Note: Although this test has been shown to detect A/Anhui/1/2013 H7N9 RNA and influenza A/ Indiana/10/2011 (H3N2v) virus cultured from positive human respiratory specimens, the performance characteristics of this device with clinical specimens that are positive for H7N9 or H3N2v influenza viruses have not been established. The Prodesse ProFlu™+ Assay can distinguish between influenza A and B viruses, but it cannot differentiate influenza A subtypes.

PREDICATE DEVICE

INTENDED USE

The Prodesse ProFlu™+ Assay is a multiplex Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid and qualitative detection and discrimination of Influenza B Virus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens obtained from symptomatic patients. This test is intended for use to aid in the differential diagnosis of Influenza A, Influenza B and RSV viral infections in humans and is not intended to detect Influenza C.

Negative results do not preclude influenza or RSV virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other 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.

Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation (2006 - 2007 respiratory season). Performance characteristics for Influenza A were confirmed when Influenza A/H1, Influenza A/H3, and Influenza A/2009 H1N1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation (2008 and 2009). When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ProFlu+ Assay enables detection and discrimination of Influenza A Virus, Influenza B Virus, RSV and universal internal control nucleic acid. Nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected from patients with signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection using a polyester, rayon or nylon tipped swab and placed into viral transport medium.

1

A Universal Internal Control (UIC) is added to each sample prior to nucleic acid isolation to monitor for inhibitors present in the specimens. The isolation and purification of the nucleic acids is performed using either a MagNA Pure LC Instrument (Roche) and the MagNA Purc Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche) or a NucliSENS® easyMAG™ System (bioMérieux) and the Automated Magnetic Extraction Reagents (bioMérieux).

The purified nucleic acids are added to Influenza B/RSV Mix along with enzymes included in the ProFlu+ Assay Kit. The Influenza A/Influenza B/RSV Mix contains oligonucleotide primers and target-specific oligonucleotide probes. The primers are complementary to highly conserved regions of genetic sequences for these respiratory viruses. The probes are dual-labeled with a reporter dye attached to the 5'-end and a quencher dye attached to the 3'-end (see table below).

Reverse transcription of the RNA in the sample into complementary DNA (cDNA) and subsequent amplification of DNA is performed in a Cepheid SmartCycler® II instrument. In this process, the probe anneals specifically to the template followed by primer extension and amplification. The ProFity- Assay is based on Tagman chemistry, which utilizes the 5 - 3 exonuclease activity of the 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 SmartCyclerII instrument.
