Device Description
The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay uses PCR to generate amplified product from the tcdA and tcdB/tcdBv genes in toxigenic C. difficile DNA in clinical specimens. The presence of a toxigenic C. difficile target sequence is indicated by the fluorescent signal generated through the use of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes on the Abbott m2000rt instrument. The probes do not generate a signal unless they are specifically bound to the amplified product. The amplification cycle at which fluorescent signal is detected by the Abbott m2000rt is inversely proportional to the toxigenic C. difficile DNA target concentration present in the original specimen. A bacterial species unrelated to toxigenic C. difficile is introduced into each specimen during sample preparation to serve as a process control. The process control bacteria are lysed simultaneously with toxigenic C. difficile in the specimen, and amplified in the same reaction as the C. difficile targets using PCR, and serve to demonstrate that the entire assay process has proceeded correctly for each specimen.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Analytical Performance
Precision/Reproducibility: Assay precision was measured in four independent studies: within laboratory repeatability, instrument-to-instrument repeatability, lot-to-lot repeatability, and site reproducibility using a seven-membered panel consisting of two C. difficile strains at concentrations representing a positive specimen (2-3X LoD), a low positive specimen (1X LoD), a high negative specimen (0.05X LoD), and a negative specimen.
Analytical Sensitivity (Limit of Detection): The LoD is defined as the toxigenic C. difficile bacterial titer (CFU/mL) detected with a probability of 95% or greater. Three strains of C. difficile were used to determine the assay LoD for unpreserved stool specimens and stool specimens preserved in Cary Blair transport media.
Analytical Reactivity: A total of 31 different toxigenic C. difficile strains were tested to determine if they were detected by the IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay. Strains were tested at a concentration of approximately 2-3X LoD, and were run in triplicate. Strains were considered to be detected if all 3 replicates were detected. All strains were detected.
Cross Reactivity & Microbial Interference: The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated for potential cross reactivity and/or interference using a panel of 120 viruses and microorganisms. None of the organisms tested were found to cross-react or interfere with the IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay.
Interfering Substances: The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay was challenged with twenty-three (23) substances that may be present in stool specimens. No assay interference was observed for any of the substances.
Target Carryover Study: Five assay runs were performed with alternating high positive and negative samples. A single cross-contamination carryover event was observed in one of the five runs, generating a carryover rate of 0.4% (1/235).
Clinical Performance Characteristics: The performance of the IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated at seven (7) geographically diverse locations within the United States from 2011 to 2013.

Indications for Use
K132235 510(k) Number:
Device Name:
IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000
Indications for Use:
The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay that uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids encoding the toxin A gene (tcdA) and toxin B gene (tcdB ) sequences of toxigenic strains of Clostridium difficile in human liquid or soft stool specimens collected from patients suspected of having symptoms of Clostridium difficile infection.
The assay is intended to be performed on the Abbott m2000 System (which comprises the Abbott m2000sp and m2000rt instruments) and is indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection. The test is intended to be used directly on liquid or soft stool specimens (unpreserved stool, or stool preserved in Cary Blair transport medium). Negative results do not preclude toxigenic C. difficile infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. The IMDx C. difficile for Abbott m2000 assay is intended for professional use. The device is not intended for point-of-care use.
