Intended Use
The FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel is a qualitative multiplexed nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the FilmArray Instrument. The FilmArray GI Panel is capable of the simultaneous detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and parasites directly from stool samples in Cary Blair transport media obtained from individuals with signs and/or symptoms of gastrointestinal infection. The following bacteria (including several diarrheagenic E. coli/Shigella pathotypes), parasites, and viruses are identified using the FilmArray GI Panel: - Campylobacter (C. jejuni/C. coli/C. upsaliensis) . - Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) toxin A/B . - Plesiomonas shigelloides . - Salmonella . - Vibrio (V. parahaemolyticus/V. vulnificus/V. cholerae) including specific identification of . Vibrio cholerae - . Yersinia enterocolitica - Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) . - Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) . - Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) It/st . - Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) stx1/stx2 (including specific . identification of the E. coli 0157 serogroup within STEC) - . Shigella/Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) - . Cryptosporidium - Cyclospora cayetanensis . - Entamoeba histolytica . - Giardia lamblia (also known as G. intestinalis and G. duodenalis) . - Adenovirus F 40/41 . - Astrovirus . - Norovirus GI/GII . - Rotavirus A . - Sapovirus (Genogroups I, II, IV, and V) . ● The FilmArray GI Panel is indicated as an aid in the diagnosis of specific agents of gastrointestinal illness and results are meant to be used in conjunction with other clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological data. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with organisms not included in the FilmArray GI Panel. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of the disease. Concomitant culture is necessary for organism recovery and further typing of bacterial agents. This device is not intended to monitor or guide treatment for C. difficile infection. Due to the small number of positive specimens collected for certain organisms during the prospective clinical study, performance characteristics for E. coli O157, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Yersinia enterocolitica, Astrovirus, and Rotavirus A were established primarily with retrospective clinical specimens. Performance characteristics for Entamoeba histolytica, and Vibrio (V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and Vibrio cholerae) were established primarily using contrived clinical specimens. Negative FilmArray Gl Panel 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 noninfectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection and identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks.
Device Description
The FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel is a multiplex nucleic acid test designed to be used with the FilmArray Instrument. The FilmArray GI pouch contains freeze-dried reagents to perform nucleic acid purification and nested, multiplex PCR with DNA melt analysis. The FilmArray Gastrointestinal (GI) Panel simultaneously conducts 22 tests for the identification of GI pathogens from stool specimens collected in Cary Blair transport medium (Table 1). Results from the FilmArray GI Panel test are available within about one hour. A test is initiated by loading Hydration Solution into one port of the FilmArray pouch and a stool sample (in Cary Blair transport medium) mixed with the provided Sample Buffer into the other port of the FilmArray GI pouch and placing it in the FilmArray Instrument. The pouch contains all of the reagents required for specimen testing and analysis in a freeze-dried format; the addition of Hydration Solution and Sample/Buffer Mix rehydrates the reagents. After the pouch is prepared, the FilmArray Software guides the user though the steps of placing the pouch into the instrument, scanning the pouch barcode, entering the sample identification, and initiating the run. The FilmArray Instrument contains a coordinated system of inflatable bladders and seal points, which act on the pouch to control the movement of liquid between the pouch blisters. When a bladder is inflated over a reagent blister, it forces liquid from the blister into connecting channels. Alternatively, when a seal is placed over a connecting channel it acts as a valve to open or close a channel. In addition, electronically controlled pneumatic pistons are positioned over multiple plungers in order to deliver the rehydrated reagents into the blisters at the appropriate times. Two Peltier devices control heating and cooling of the pouch to drive the PCR reactions and the melt curve analysis. Nucleic acid extraction occurs within the FilmArray pouch using mechanical and chemical Ivsis followed by purification using standard magnetic bead technology. After extracting and purifying nucleic acids from the unprocessed sample, the FilmArray performs a nested multiplex PCR that is executed in two stages. During the first stage, the FilmArray performs a single, large volume, highly multiplexed reverse transcription PCR (rt-PCR) reaction. The products from first stage PCR are then diluted and combined with a fresh, primer-free master mix and a fluorescent double stranded DNA binding dye (LC Green®, BioFire). The solution is then distributed to each well of the array. Array wells contain sets of primers designed specifically to amplify sequences internal to the PCR products generated during the first stage PCR reaction. The 2nd stage PCR, or nested PCR, is performed in singleplex fashion in each well of the array. At the conclusion of the 2nd stage PCR, the arrav is interrogated by melt curve analysis for the detection of signature amplicons denoting the presence of specific targets. A digital camera placed in front of the 200 stage PCR captures fluorescent images of the PCR reactions and software interprets the data. The FilmArray Software automatically interprets the results of each DNA melt curve analysis and combines the data with the results of the internal pouch controls to provide a test result for each organism on the panel.

Summary of Performance Data

Clinical Performance

The clinical performance of the FilmArray GI Panel was established during a multi-center study conducted at four geographically distinct U.S. study sites (Pacific, North Central, Great Lakes, and Northeast regions) between May and September, 2013. A total of 1578 prospective residual stool specimens in Cary Blair transport media were acquired for the clinical study; 22 of these were excluded. The most common reasons for exclusion were that a valid external control was not completed on the day of testing, that the specimen was not plated to all of the appropriate bacterial culture media required for the reference method, or that the specimen was beyond four days from the date of collection. The final data set consisted of 1556 specimens. Table 4 provides a summary of demographic information for the 1556 specimens included in the prospective study.

4 The E. coli O157 comparator method data were only used to determine the accuracy of the FilmArray determination of E. coli 0157 detected or not detected for specimens in which FilmArray detected STEC.

6 Any bacteria isolated from stool culture that could not be identified to the species level by laboratory methods were sequenced using an assay capable of providing species information (c.g., 16S).

& A result for EPEC is only reported in the absence of STEC (same algorithm as FilmArray).

4 Shigella may be identified by routine methods: however. culture detection will be reported for informational purposes only.

CDC Calicinet assays (non-sequenceable) were used for the comparator method for Norovirus.

Sapovirus comparator assays consisted of one well-validated, sequenceable assay and one published assay that was not sequenceable.

8 G. lamblia comparator assays consisted of one well-validated, sequenceable assay and one published assay that was not sequenceable.

" PCR assays were designed to amplify different sequences than those targeted by FilmArray Gl. Positive results for sequenceable assays required a sequencing result of adequate quality to match a sequence of the expected organism/gene deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with an acceptable E-value.

A total of 1556 specimens were evaluated in this study. Of these specimens, 832 (53.5%) were positive for at least one analyte. Clinical sensitivity or positive percent agreement (PPA) was calculated as 100% x (TP / (TP + FN)). True positive (TP) indicates that both the FilmArray G1 Panel and reference/comparator method had a positive result for this specific analyte, and false negative (FN) indicates that the FilmArray result was negative while the comparator result was positive. Specificity or negative percent agreement (NPA) was calculated as 100% x (TN / (TN + FP)). True negative (TN) indicates that both the FilmArray GI Panel and the

FilmArray GI reports genus level (or multiple species group) results for three bacterial analytes; i.e., Campylobacter (C. jejuni/C. coli/C. upsaliensis), Salmonella, and Vibrio (V. parahaemolyticus/V. vulnificus/V. cholerae). Standard laboratory methods identified various species/serovars within each of these groups during the clinical evaluation. Where standard methods did not provide a species identification, bi-directional sequencing was used to identify the species of the isolate. Stratification of performance by species/serovar is presented below. For Vibrio. no organisms were isolated by the culture methods; however, bi-directional sequencing from the original specimens identified one V. parahaemolyticus and one V. cholerae.

Table 8. Salmonella Clinical Performance Stratified by Species/Serovan

The FilmArray GI Panel reported multiple organism detections (i.e., mixed infections) for a total of 262 specimens. This represents 31.5% of positive specimens (262/832) and 16.8% of all specimens (262/1556). The majority of multiple detections (199/262; 76.0%) contained two organisms, while 19.1% (50/262) contained three organisms, 3.4% (9/262) contained four organisms. 1.1% (3/262) contained five organisms. and 0.4% (1/262) contained six organisms. The three organisms that were most prevalent in co-infections were also the three most prevalent organisms in the study as a whole (i.e., EPEC, C. difficile, and EAEC). Out of the 262 specimens with multiple detections. 144 specimens (55.0%; 144/262) were concordant with the reference methods. One hundred eighteen specimens (45.0%; 118/262) contained one or more organisms that had not been detected by the reference/comparator methods (i.e., 139 false positive results); however, bi-directional sequence analysis confirmed the presence of the analyte for 88.5% (123/139) of the discrepant results.

Table 9. Prevalence of Analytes in Mixed Infections as determined by the FilmArray GI Panel

The most prevalent mixed infection was C. difficile with EPEC (2.0% of all specimens; 32/1556) followed by EAEC with EPEC (1% of all specimens; 15/1556); as previously stated these were the most prevalent organisms detected in the study. Mixed infections were observed for all combinations of analyte classes (e.g. bacteria with viruses, diarrheagenic E. coli/Shigella with parasites) and co-infections were observed within classes (e.g. three diarrheagenic E. coli/Shigella combined; ETEC, EAEC, and STEC).

Table 10. Most Prevalent Multiple Detection Combinations (≥5 instances) as Determined by the FilmArray GI Panel

The overall success rate for initial specimen tests in the prospective study was 99.4% (1544/1557). Four tests were incomplete due to software errors (3) or a user aborted run (1), and nine tests were invalid due to pouch control failures. All specimens but one were retested within four days of specimen collection and were successful after a single retest, for a final success rate of 99.9% (1556/1557).

Testing of Preselected Archived Specimens

Several analytes were either not encountered or had a low prevalence in the clinical study. To supplement the results of the prospective clinical study, an evaluation of 222 preselected archived specimens was performed. These specimens were archived clinical specimens that were selected because they had previously tested positive for one of the following analytes: E. coli O157, P. shigelloides, Y. enterocolitica, Vibrio, Astrovirus, and E. histolytica, or had been negative in previous laboratory testing. Prior to testing with the FilmArray GI Panel, the presence (or absence for negative specimens) of the expected analytes was verified in each specimen using analyte-specific PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing.

The specimens were organized into "test panels" and randomized such that the users performing the FilmArray GI Panel testing were blinded as to the expected test result. A summary of the available demographic information of the tested samples is provided in Table 11 and the results of the FilmArray GI testing are presented in Table 12.
