Intended Use
The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA amplification assay, performed on the illumipro-10™, is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of DNA from Mycoplasma pneumoniae in human throat swabs obtained from patients suspected of having Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay utilizes loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) technology to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae by targeting a segment of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae genome. Results from the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA amplification assay should be used in conjunction with clinical presentation, other laboratory findings, and epidemiological risk factors as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms and negative results in persons with respiratory tract infections may be due to pathogens not detected by this assay. Lower respiratory tract infections due to M. pneumoniae may not be detected by this assay. If lower respiratory tract infection due to M. pneumoniae is suspected, additional laboratory testing using methods other than the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA Amplification Assay may be necessary.
Device Description
The illumigene Molecular Diagnostic Test System is comprised of the illumigene® Mycoplasma Direct DNA Amplification Assay Test Kit, the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct External Controls Kit, and the illumipro-10™ Automated Isothermal Amplification and Detection System. The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct molecular assay utilizes loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) technology to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae in throat swab specimens. The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct kit includes illumigene Sample Preparation Apparatus III (SMP PREP II), illumigene Mycoplasma Test Devices, and Heat Treatment Tubes. The throat swab is added directly to the SMP PREP II, which contains assay control buffer. Samples processed through SMP PREP II (sample/control mixture) are heat treated to make target and control DNA available for amplification. The heat-treated sample is added to the illumigene Mvcoplasma Test Device. The illumipro-10 heats each illumigene Mycoplasma Test Device containing prepared sample and control material, facilitating amplification of target DNA. When M. pneumoniae is present in the specimen, a 208 base pair (bp) sequence of the M. pneumoniae intracellular protease-like gene is amplified and magnesium pyrophosphate is generated. Magnesium pyrophosphate forms a precipitate in the reaction mixture. The illumipro-10 monitors the absorbance characteristics of the reaction solutions at the assay Run Start (Signal initial, S;) and at the assay Run End (Signal final, S;). The illumipro-10 calculates the change in light transmission between Run End and Run Start (S, :S, ) and compares the ratio to a fixed cut-off value for disposition of results. Fixed cut-off values for the TEST chamber are used to report sample results. TEST chamber Sy:S, ratios less than 82% are reported as 'POSITIVE'; TEST chamber S;.S; ratios greater than or equal to 82% are reported as 'NEGATIVE'. Numerical values are not reported. Fixed cut-off values for the CONTROL chamber are used to determine validity. CONTROL chamber S; S, ratios less than 90% are considered valid and allow for reporting of TEST chamber results (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE). CONTROL chamber S;& ratios greater than or equal to 90% are considered invalid and prevent reporting of TEST chamber results. Invalid CONTROL chamber reactions are reported as 'INVALID'. More stringent cut-off criteria are applied to the CONTROL chamber reaction to ensure amplification is not inhibited, reagents are performing as intended and that sample processing was performed appropriately. The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct External Control Kit contains a Positive Control reagent for use in routine Quality Control testing; the illumigene Sample Preparation Apparatus III reagent provided with the Mycoplasma Direct Kit serves as the External Negative Control reagents are provided to aid the user in detection of reagent deterioration, adverse environmental or test conditions, or variance in operator performance that may lead to test errors.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a fixed cut-off value for determining results, which is a rule-based approach, not AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or training/test sets for model development.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA. It aids in diagnosis but does not provide any treatment or therapeutic function.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is a "qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of DNA from Mycoplasma pneumoniae." It also notes that results "should be used in conjunction with clinical presentation, other laboratory findings, and epidemiological risk factors as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma infection."

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of a test kit, external controls kit, and an automated instrument (illumipro-10™). This instrument is a hardware component that performs heating, monitors absorbance, and calculates results. Therefore, the device is not software-only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The very first sentence explicitly states it is a "qualitative in vitro diagnostic test". It is intended for the direct detection of DNA from Mycoplasma pneumoniae in human throat swabs to aid in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma infection. This clearly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of the system, including test kits and an automated system, and explains how it processes human specimens (throat swabs) to detect the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA. This process is performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Results and Interpretation: The device provides results (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, INVALID) based on the analysis of the specimen, which are intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information for diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies where the device was used to test human specimens and its performance was compared to a reference molecular in vitro diagnostic method.

All these points strongly indicate that the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA amplification assay is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The performance characteristics of the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA Amplification Assay were established in clinical studies conducted in 2015-2016 at independent clinical test sites representing three geographically distinct regions throughout the United States. Performance characteristics of the assay were compared to a reference molecular in vitro diagnostic method, the illumigene Mycoplasma DNA Amplification Assay (Meridian Bioscience, Inc., Cincinnati, OH). A total of 458 prospective, deidentified, throat swab specimens collected under informed consent from symptomatic male and female patients were evaluated. Two samples (0.4%) were excluded from the clinical sample population due to an instrument error during testing (1) or an unacceptable sample type (1) for a total of 456 eligible samples for analysis.

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

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
Analytical Performance:
Precision/Reproducibility:
Blind-coded panels of 10 samples were supplied to three independent laboratories for reproducibility studies. Samples were randomly sorted within each panel to mask sample identities. The panels included contrived manufactured as low positive samples (near the limit of detect, n=3), moderate positive samples (n=3), and high negative samples (n=3). The panel also included one natural negative sample. Testing was performed by different operators at each site on the same day (intra-assay variability) for five days (inter-assay variability). Three lots of illumigene Mycoplasma Direct and eight illumipro-10 instruments were used in the study. Positive and Negative Controls were tested with each panel.
Results:
Site 1: High Negative 100.0% (30/30), Low Positive 100.0% (30/30), Moderate Positive 100.0% (30/30), Negative 90.0% (9/10), Negative Control 100.0% (10/10), Positive Control 100.0% (10/10).
Site 2: High Negative 100.0% (30/30), Low Positive 100.0% (30/30), Moderate Positive 100.0% (30/30), Negative 100.0% (10/10), Negative Control 100.0% (10/10), Positive Control 100.0% (10/10).
Site 3: High Negative 100.0% (30/30), Low Positive 96.7% (29/30), Moderate Positive 100.0% (30/30), Negative 100.0% (10/10), Negative Control 100.0% (10/10), Positive Control 100.0% (10/10).
Total: High Negative 100.0% (90/90), Low Positive 98.9% (89/90), Moderate Positive 100.0% (90/90), Negative 96.7% (29/30), Negative Control 100.0% (30/30), Positive Control 100.0% (30/30).

Detection Limit:
Analytical Sensitivity studies were designed to verify the analytical limit of detection (LoD) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay. The LoD is defined as the lowest concentration of analyte (CFU/mL) that can be distinguished from negative samples with a high degree of probability (95%). Two strains of M. pneumoniae (M129 and FH) diluted in a simulated negative throat swab matrix were used to establish the LoD with three kit lots of illumigene Mycoplasma Direct. A minimum of three dilutions near the expected LoD in twenty (20) individually prepared replicates were evaluated for each M. pneumoniae strain.
LoD Concentration (CFU/mL): M. pneumoniae FH (ATCC 15531) = 2350, M. pneumoniae M129 (ATCC 29342) = 200.

Analytical Specificity:
Interference Testing: Potentially interfering substances were tested with simulated negative and contrived low positive (M. pneumoniae strains M129 and FH) samples. The following substances, at the saturated solvent/diluent concentrations indicated, do not interfere with illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay: Acetaminophen (18.1 mg/mL), Albuterol Sulfate (20 mg/mL), Azithromycin dehydrate (2.0 mg/mL), Cepacol® Mouthwash, Contac® Cold + Flu Tablets, Diphenhydramine HCI (2.6 mg/mL), Erythromycin (20.0 mg/mL), HALLS® Cough Drops, Ibuprofen (12.7 mg/mL), Prednisone (20.0 mg/mL), Robitussin® Cough+Chest Congestion Cough Syrup, Saline Nasal Spray, Mucus (5.0mg/mL), and White Blood Cells (0.5% v/v).
Whole blood was found to produce invalid results at concentrations greater than 2%.
Phenylephrine HCI at concentrations greater than 0.595 mg/mL may produce false negative results with low positive samples.

Cross-Reactivity Study: Crossreactivity studies were previously performed with the illumigene Mycoplasma DNA Amplification assay. Positive and negative specimens inoculated with potentially interfering bacterial or fungal organisms to minimum final concentrations of 1.0 x 10 CFU/mL. Viruses were tested at concentrations greater than 1.0 x 10 TClDgg/mL or 1.0 x 106 copies/mL. Human DNA was tested at 2.0 ng/test with no crossreactivity observed. Positive specimens contained M. pneumoniae concentrations near the limit of detection. None of the listed organisms or materials were identified as crossreactive or interfering. No crossreactivity is expected with the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay.

Device Description:

The illumigene Molecular Diagnostic Test System is comprised of the illumigene® Mycoplasma Direct DNA Amplification Assay Test Kit, the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct External Controls Kit, and the illumipro-10™ Automated Isothermal Amplification and Detection System.

The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct molecular assay utilizes loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) technology to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae in throat swab specimens. The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct kit includes illumigene Sample Preparation Apparatus III (SMP PREP II), illumigene Mycoplasma Test Devices, and Heat Treatment Tubes. The throat swab is added directly to the SMP PREP II, which contains assay control buffer. Samples processed through SMP PREP II (sample/control mixture) are heat treated to make target and control DNA available for amplification. The heat-treated sample is added to the illumigene Mvcoplasma Test Device.

The illumipro-10 heats each illumigene Mycoplasma Test Device containing prepared sample and control material, facilitating amplification of target DNA. When M. pneumoniae is present in the specimen, a 208 base pair (bp) sequence of the M. pneumoniae intracellular protease-like gene is amplified and magnesium pyrophosphate is generated. Magnesium pyrophosphate forms a precipitate in the reaction mixture. The illumipro-10 monitors the absorbance characteristics of the reaction solutions at the assay Run Start (Signal initial, S;) and at the assay Run End (Signal final, S;). The illumipro-10 calculates the change in light transmission between Run End and Run Start (S, :S, ) and compares the ratio to a fixed cut-off value for disposition of results.

Fixed cut-off values for the TEST chamber are used to report sample results. TEST chamber Sy:S, ratios less than 82% are reported as 'POSITIVE'; TEST chamber S;.S; ratios greater than or equal to 82% are reported as 'NEGATIVE'. Numerical values are not reported. Fixed cut-off values for the CONTROL chamber are used to determine validity. CONTROL chamber S; S, ratios less than 90% are considered valid and allow for reporting of TEST chamber results (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE). CONTROL chamber S;& ratios greater than or equal to 90% are considered invalid and prevent reporting of TEST chamber results. Invalid CONTROL chamber reactions are reported as 'INVALID'. More stringent cut-off criteria are applied to the CONTROL chamber reaction to ensure amplification is not inhibited, reagents are performing as intended and that sample processing was performed appropriately.

The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct External Control Kit contains a Positive Control reagent for use in routine Quality Control testing; the illumigene Sample Preparation Apparatus III reagent provided with the Mycoplasma Direct Kit serves as the External Negative Control reagents are provided to aid the user in detection of reagent deterioration, adverse environmental or test conditions, or variance in operator performance that may lead to test errors.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Analytical Performance:

Precision/Reproducibility:

Blind-coded panels of 10 samples were supplied to three independent laboratories for reproducibility studies. Samples were randomly sorted within each panel to mask sample identities. The panels included contrived manufactured as low positive samples (near the limit of detect, n=3), moderate positive samples (n=3), and high negative samples (n=3). The panel also included one natural negative sample. Testing was performed by different operators at each site on the same day (intra-assay variability) for five days (inter-assay variability). Three lots of illumigene Mycoplasma Direct and eight illumipro-10 instruments were used in the study. Positive and Negative Controls were tested with each panel. The results are provided in the table below:

Detection Limit:

Analytical Sensitivity studies were designed to verify the analytical limit of detection (LoD) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae with the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay. The LoD is defined as the lowest concentration of analyte (CFU/mL) that can be distinguished from negative samples with a high degree of probability (95%). Two strains of M. pneumoniae (M129 and FH) diluted in a simulated negative throat swab matrix were used to establish the LoD with three kit lots of illumigene Mycoplasma Direct. A minimum of three dilutions near the expected LoD in twenty (20) individually prepared replicates were evaluated for each M. pneumoniae strain. The overall confirmed analytical LoD by M. pneumoniae strain for illumigene Mycoplasma Direct is summarized below:

| M. pneumoniae Strain | LoD Concentration
(CFU/mL) |
|------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| M. pneumoniae FH
(ATCC 15531) | 2350 |
| M. pneumoniae M129
(ATCC 29342) | 200 |

The following M. pneumoniae strains were tested with illumigene Mycoplasma and produced positive reactions at or below stated assay limit of detect of 2350 CFU/mL:Pl 1428 (ATCC 29085), MAC (ATCC 15492), M52 (ATCC 15293), Bru (ATCC 15377), M129-B170 (ATCC 29343), Mutant 22 (ATCC 39505) UAB 55612, UAB 56317, UMTB-10G (ATCC 49899). Testing demonstrated that both Type 1 and Type 2 strains are detected with the assay. The same reactivity is expected with the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay.

Analvtical Specificity:

Interference Testing:

Potentially interfering substances were tested with simulated negative and contrived low positive (M. pneumoniae strains M129 and FH) samples. The following substances, at the saturated solvent/diluent concentrations indicated, do not interfere with illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay:

Acetaminophen (18.1 mg/mL), Albuterol Sulfate (20 mg/mL), Azithromycin dehydrate (2.0 mg/mL), Cepacol® Mouthwash [Alcohol (1.4% v/v), Cetylpyridinium chloride (0.005% v/v)], Contac® Cold + Flu Tablets [Acetaminophen (14.8 mq/mL), Chlorpheniramine maleate (0.06 mg/mL), Phenylephrine HCl (0.15 mg/mL)], Diphenhydramine HCI (2.6 mg/mL), Erythromycin (20.0 mg/mL), HALLS® Cough Drops [Menthol (0.06 mg/mL)], Ibuprofen (12.7 mg/mL), Phenylephrine HCl (0.595 mg/mL), Prednisone (20.0 mg/mL), Robitussin® Cough+Chest Congestion Cough Syrup (Dextromethorphan HBr (0.20 mq/mL), Guaifenesin (2.0 mg/mL)), Saline Nasal Spray [Sodium chloride (0.65 mg/mL)], Mucus (5.0mg/mL), and White Blood Cells (0.5% v/v).

Whole blood was found to produce invalid results at concentrations greater than 2%.

Phenylephrine HCI at concentrations greater than 0.595 mg/mL may produce false negative results with low positive samples.

Robitussin Cough+Congestion Cough Syrup initially produced 1/3 invalid results with Positive Sample P2 that produced acceptable results during repeat testing (1/1 positive). Robitussin® Cough Syrup is not considered an interferent.

Cross-Reactivity Study:

Crossreactivity studies were previously performed with the illumicene Mycoplasma DNA Amplification assay. P ositive and negative specimens inoculated with potentially interfering bacterial or fungal organisms to minimum final concentrations of 1.0 x 10 CFU/mL. Viruses were tested at concentrations greater than 1.0 x 10 TClDgg/mL or 1.0 x 106 copies/mL. Human DNA was tested at 2.0 ng/test with no crossreactivity observed. Positive specimens contained M. pneumoniae concentrations near the limit of detection. None of the following organisms or materials were identified as crossreactive or interfering in the illumigene Mycoplasma assay:

Assav cut-off:

The illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay is manufactured with fixed cut-off values. The product is designed with a pre-selected cut-off value and amplification reagent concentrations are optimized to ensure appropriate reactions are obtained. Development optimization of characterized positive and negative clinical specimens. Amplification reagent concentrations are adjusted during design as needed to ensure illumigene results are aligned with clinical specimen reported results.

Cut-off values applied in the following manner:

The illumipro-10™ calculates the ratio of the Run End (Signal final or S.) reads with the Run Start (Signal initial or S) reads and compares the ratio to an established cut-off value. The illumipro-10 performs this ratio calculation to both the TEST chamber and the CONTROL chamber.

Fixed cut-off values for the CONTROL chamber are used to determine validity. CONTROL chamber S;S, ratios less than 90% are considered valid and allow for reporting of TEST chamber results (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE). CONTROL chamber S;S; ratios greater than or equal to 90% are considered invalid. Results are reported as 'INVALID'; Test chamber results are not reported. More stringent cut-off criteria are applied to the Control chamber reaction to ensure amplification is not inhibited, reagents are performing as intended and that sample processing was performed appropriately.

Fixed cut-off values for the TEST chamber are used to report sample results. TEST chamber S.:S, ratios less than 82% are reported as 'POSITIVE'; TEST chamber S;.S; ratios greater than or equal to 82% are reported as 'NEGATIVE'. Numerical values are not reported.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Clinical Studies:

The performance characteristics of the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct DNA Amplification Assay were established in clinical studies conducted in 2015-2016 at independent clinical test sites representing three geographically distinct regions throughout the United States. Performance characteristics of the assay were compared to a reference molecular in vitro diagnostic method, the illumigene Mycoplasma DNA Amplification Assay (Meridian Bioscience, Inc., Cincinnati, OH). A total of 458 prospective, deidentified, throat swab specimens collected under informed consent from symptomatic male and female patients were evaluated. Two samples (0.4%) were excluded from the clinical sample population due to an instrument error during testing (1) or an unacceptable sample type (1) for a total of 456 eligible samples for analysis. There were no invalid results generated by the illumigene Mycoplasma Direct assay during the clinical study (0.0%; 95% Cl: 0.0 - 0.8%).
