The artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit is an in vitro real-time PCR DNA amplification assay performed on the QIAsymphony RGQ MDx system for the direct qualitative detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) DNA in genital or oral vesicular lesions from male and female patients suspected of HSV infection.
The assay is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of HSV infection in symptomatic patients.
Warning: The artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit is not FDA-cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or for prenatal screening.
The artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit is an in vitro PCR assay for the qualitative detection and differentiation of nucleic acids encoding the Glycoprotein D and UL30 genes isolated from HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA present in genital or oral lesions from male and female patients. Samples are extracted and prepared for PCR using the QIAsymphony SP/AS instrument with the QIAsymphony DSP Virus/Pathogen Mini Kit. Amplification and detection are carried out using the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit with the Rotor-Gene O MDx (RGO MDx) and Rotor-Gene AssayManager software. The presence of a HSV-1 or HSV-2 target sequence is indicated by the fluorescent signal generated through the use of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes. 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 RGQ MDx is inversely proportional to the HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 target concentration present in the original specimen. A plasmid construct containing DNA unrelated to HSV-1 and HSV-2 is introduced into each specimen during sample preparation to serve as an internal control. Run as a separate control, the positive control serves to demonstrate that the HSV-1/2 PCR reagents are functional. In addition, the positive control functions as a process control, to demonstrate that sample preparation has proceeded correctly during the run.
The provided documentation describes the performance characteristics and clinical study results for the artus® HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit, an in vitro real-time PCR assay for the detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are generally qualitative for this type of diagnostic device, revolving around achieving sufficient sensitivity and specificity compared to a predicate device or established methods.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
-
Clinical Study (Prospective):
- Genital Samples: 510 total specimens (initially), from which 96 HSV-2 positive samples by ELVIS culture were removed for HSV-1 calculation, resulting in 414 for HSV-1 analysis. All 510 were used for HSV-2.
- Oral Samples: 152 total specimens.
- Mucocutaneous Samples: 281 for HSV-1, 320 for HSV-2 (a subset of the overall clinical study samples).
- Data Provenance: Prospectively collected from symptomatic patients at 3 testing sites. Samples were from 5 geographically diverse locations within the United States.
-
Contrived Sample Study (for HSV-2 in Oral Samples):
- Sample Size: 70 individual samples (15 HSV-1/2 negative oral, 10 HSV-1 positive oral, 45 HSV-1/2 negative oral spiked with HSV-2).
- Data Provenance: Prepared using oral samples from the method comparison study, spiked with HSV-2 at various concentrations.
-
Analytical Reactivity Test Set: 39 strains (20 HSV-1, 19 HSV-2) from Zeptometrix™ Corporation (ZMC).
-
Cross-Reactivity and Microbial Interference Test Set: A panel of 45 microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) with listed sources.
-
Precision Test Sets:
- Within-Laboratory: Not explicitly stated, but 7-member panel tested in replicates of three, once a day for 12 days (approx. 36 replicates per panel member).
- Site-to-Site Reproducibility: 7-member panel run by 2 users at each of 3 external sites, 5 runs on alternating days (total of 90 test results per panel member).
-
Interfering Substances Test Set: 24 substances.
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 study was established using the ELVIS® (Enzyme Linked Virus Inducible System) HSV ID and D3 Typing Test System. This is a commercially available viral culture system, which is a recognized method for HSV detection and typing. There is no mention of human experts directly establishing primary ground truth for the clinical samples.
For discordant results in the clinical study, alternative PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing was used as a "confirmatory" method. The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts involved in running or interpreting these alternative PCR and sequencing results.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The primary comparison was between the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit and the ELVIS viral culture system.
For discordant results (where the artus kit and ELVIS culture disagreed):
- Discordant specimens were analyzed by alternative PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing. The results of this alternative method were then used to adjudicate the initial discrepancy and determine agreement with either the artus kit or ELVIS. The text generally states that the alternative PCR results "agreed with the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx result" for a certain number of samples, suggesting this method was considered the definitive truth for these specific discordant cases.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay, and its performance is evaluated against established laboratory methods, not typically against human reader performance in a diagnostic imaging or pathology context that would warrant an MRMC study.
6. Standalone Performance
Yes, standalone performance was done. The entire set of clinical data (sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV) and analytical data (LoD, reactivity, cross-reactivity, precision, interference, carryover) presented describes the performance of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit algorithm/system only without human intervention beyond standard laboratory operation. There is no "human-in-the-loop" component described for interpretation of results from this PCR assay.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The primary ground truth used for the clinical validation was:
- Viral Culture: Specifically, the ELVIS® (Enzyme Linked Virus Inducible System) HSV ID and D3 Typing Test System. This is a laboratory-based method.
- Reference Molecular Method for Discordants: For samples where the artus kit and ELVIS culture disagreed, alternative PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing was used as a secondary, more definitive ground truth.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for a "training set." This type of premarket notification (510(k)) focuses on validation and clinical performance of a developed product, rather than the development process involving explicit training sets for algorithms. The device is a PCR assay, typically developed and optimized through analytical studies, rather than machine learning training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since no explicit "training set" is mentioned in the context of machine learning, there is no description of how ground truth for such a set was established. Development of PCR assays involves extensive analytical testing (e.g., optimization of primers, probes, reaction conditions) using characterized reference materials and often challenging clinical samples, which are analogous to establishing performance during the development phase.

Performance Characteristics - Non-Clinical Studies
Analytical Sensitivity (Limit of Detection)
The limit of detection (LoD) was assessed for the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit using 2 strains of HSV-1 (MacIntyre and Isolate #15 from Zeptometrix™ Corporation. (ZMC)) and two strains of HSV-2 (MS and Isolate #2 from Zeptometrix™ Corporation). The LoD is defined as the HSV titer (TCID<0/mL) detected with a probability of 95% or greater and was determined by probit analysis. The results, representative of the analytical sensitivity of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit, are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2: Limit of Detection
| Strain | LoD (95 % CI) TCID50/mL |
|---|---|
| HSV-1 Macintyre | 4.42 x 100 (2.81 x 100 - 9.14 x 100) |
| HSV-1 Isolate 15 | 1.82 x 101 (0.96 x 101 - 5.47 x 101) |
| HSV-2 MS | 9.78 x 10-1 (6.6 x 10-1 - 2.01 x 100) |
| HSV-2 Isolate 2 | 1.91 x 102 (1.26 x 102 - 3.55 x 102) |
Analytical Reactivity
The analytical reactivity of the artus HSV-1/2 OS-RGO MDx Kit was assessed to determine whether the kit could detect a broad range of HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains. Strains were obtained from ZMC. A total of 39 strains (20 HSV-1 and 19 HSV-2) were diluted in M4RT viral transport medium to 2-3X LoD and tested with the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit (Table 3). The intended HSV-1 or HSV-2 was detected in all strains tested.

Cross-Reactivity and Microbial Interference
A panel of microorganisms that may be present in patient specimens was tested to determine whether these microorganisms interfered with the detection of HSV-1 or HSV-2 or were cross-reactive with the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit (Table 4). Organisms were tested at a target concentration of approximately 1 x 106 CFU/ml for bacteria (with the exception of Neisseria gonorrhea, which was tested at 3.5 x 10 CFU/mL due to the low titer of the stock culture) and fungi or ≥1 x 105 TCID50/ml for viruses separately in the presence of 2-3X LoD of each of three HSV strains: HSV-1 MacIntyre, HSV-1 Isolate #15, or HSV-2 MS. None of the potential interfering organisms cross-reacted or interfered with the detection of any of the HSV strains by the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit.

Precision
The precision of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit was assessed using a sevenmember precision panel consisting of 2 strains of HSV: HSV-1 MacIntyre and HSV-2 MS, diluted in M4RT viral transport medium. Panel members were formulated with a single HSV strain present (HSV-1 or HSV-2) at three concentrations: Positive (~2-3X LoD), Low Positive (1X LoD), and High Negative (<1X LoD, targeting a 20-80% positivity rate). A seventh panel member (Negative) was prepared using M4RT viral transport medium only. The data obtained were used to determine the mean Cr, standard deviation (ST DEV) and the coefficient of variation (%CV) for each target and the internal control.
For the within laboratory repeatability study, the seven-member panel was tested in replicates of three, once a day for a total of twelve days. The testing was conducted by two alternating operators using one QIAsymphony RGQ MDx (QS-RGQ MDx) instrument platform and one reagent kit lot (Table 5).

To measure site-to-site reproducibility, the 7-member panel was run by 2 users at each of 3 external sites. Each of the 2 users performed 5 runs on alternating testing days for a total of 90 test results per panel member. Panel members were tested in replicates of 3 that were randomized and blinded to the user. A single OIAsymphony RGO MDx instrument platform and one lot of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit were used at each site to conduct the study (Table 6).

Interfering Substances
A panel of 24 substances that may be present in oral/genital patient specimens was tested to determine whether these substances interfered with the performance of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit (Table 7). Two strains of HSV: HSV-1 MacIntyre and HSV-2 MS, were diluted to approximately 2-3X LOD in M4RT viral transport medium and spiked with each potentially inhibitory substance. None of the substances showed an inhibitory effect on the detection of HSV-1 or HSV-2 by the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit.

Positive and Negative Predictive Value: Hypothetical positive and negative predictive values (PPV & NPV) for the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx kit are shown in Table 10. These calculations are based on hypothetical prevalence and overall sensitivity and specificity per specimen type as determined in the clinical study.
For HSV-1, these calculations are based upon an overall sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 94%, respectively, for genital swabs and 94% and 82%, respectively, for oral swabs.
For HSV-2, these calculations are based upon an overall sensitivity and specificity of 97% and 91%, respectively, for genital swabs and 0.0% and 100%, respectively, for oral swabs.
PPV was calculated using: (Sensitivity x Prevalence) / (Sensitivity x Prevalence + [1 -Specificity] x [1 - Prevalence]).

Performance Characteristics - Clinical Studies
Prospective Study: The performance of the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit was evaluated at 3 testing sites in 2013-2014, using samples from 5 geographically diverse locations within the United States. A total of 662 male and female genital or oral lesion swabs (510 genital and 152 oral) prospectively collected from symptomatic patients were evaluated. Results from the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit were compared to results obtained from the ELVIS® (Enzyme Linked Virus Inducible System) HSV ID and D3 Typing Test System (Diagnostic Hybrids, Athens, OH).
Ninety-six (96) prospective specimens identified as HSV-2 positive by ELVIS viral culture were removed from the initial 510 genital specimens for the calculation of the HSV-1 clinical performance. As a result, there were 566 samples (414 genital and 152 oral) used to determine clinical performance for HSV-1 (see Table 12 thru Table 15). The clinical performance for HSV-1 and HSV-2 mucocutaneous lesions was also assessed (Table 16 and Table 17). Prospectively collected samples that were classified as mucocutaneous included oral, cervical, vaginal, rectal, and any sample taken from a vesicle or lesion.

HSV-2 Oral Retrospective Sample Study and Contrived Sample Study:
A retrospective study was conducted using oral samples for HSV2 detection. A total of 38 oral retrospective specimens were tested with the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx assay and ELVIS HSV ID and D3 Typing Test System. There were no HSV-2 positive specimens detected in 38 oral specimens.
A contrived specimen study was performed to provide additional performance data for detection of HSV-2 in oral samples. A panel of seventy (70) individual samples consisting of 15 HSV-1/2 negative oral samples, 10 HSV-1 positive oral samples and 45 HSV-1/2 negative oral samples spiked with HSV-2 at a concentration from 3X LoD to 1000X LoD and tested with the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit. The HSV-1 positive oral samples and HSV-1/2 negative oral samples obtained from the method comparison study were used to make the panel. All samples were randomized and blinded to the operator prior to testing. HSV-2 was detected in all 45 contrived samples at all concentrations tested, supporting the claim for detection of HSV-2 in oral samples by the artus HSV-1/2 QS-RGQ MDx Kit.
§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.
(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).
