Intended Use
The Solana® RSV+hMPV Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the detection and differentiation of RSV and hMPV viral RNA in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of RSV and hMPV viral infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This test is not intended to differentiate the two subtypes of RSV or the four genetic sub-lineages of hMPV. Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and/or hMPV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient 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.
Device Description
The Solana RSV+hMPV Assay amplifies and detects viral RNA present in viral transport media containing nasopharyngeal or nasal swab specimens obtained from symptomatic patients. The assay consists of two major steps: 1) specimen preparation, and 2) amplification and detection of target sequences specific to RSV and/or hMPV using isothermal Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase-Dependent Amplification (RT-HDA) in the presence of targetspecific fluorescence probes. A patient nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimen in viral transport media is transferred to a Process Buffer Tube, subjected to heat treatment at 95°C for 5 minutes and mixed. The processed sample is transferred to a Reaction Tube. The Reaction Tube contains lyophilized RT-HDA reagents, dNTPs, primers and probes. Once rehydrated with the processed sample, the Reaction Tube is placed in Solana for amplification and detection of RSV and hMPV specific target sequences. In Solana, the target sequences are amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by RSV and hMPV specific fluorescence probes, respectively. A process control (PRC) is included in the Process Buffer Tube to monitor sample processing, inhibitory substances in clinical samples, reagent failure or device failure. The PRC target is amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by a PRC specific fluorescence probe. The two target probes and PRC probe are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore on the other end. In addition, the two target probes and PRC probe incorporate one or more RNA bases. Upon annealing to RSV, hMPV or PRC amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. Solana measures and interprets the fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana then reports the test results to the user on its display screen, and it can print out the results via an attached printer.

Performance characteristics of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay were established during a prospective study with specimens collected between January and May 2017. Two thousand sixty-four (2064) specimens prospectively collected specimens have been included in this study at six (6) sites across the United States. Specimens were tested fresh (773) or after freezing (1291) at -70°C. A single nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimen (300 and 1760, respectively) was collected per patient in viral transport media (BD/Copan UTM, Remel M5, Remel M6). Four (4) of the fresh specimens were removed from the study due to protocol deviations (inappropriate specimen type). All specimens were transported to a central location for extraction with the NucliSENS® easyMAG® and testing with a FDA-cleared RSV+hMPV molecular assay. The specimens were processed and tested with Solana RSV+hMPV Assay (frozen (1291) and fresh (769)) on the Solana instrument at one of the six (6) sites.

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

Reproducibility

A four-sample panel consisting of three levels of a combined RSV and hMPV (two (2) strains of each virus) contrived samples and a negative contrived sample were tested in this study. RSV A strain A2 (VR-1540) and hMPV 20 Type A2 (IA14-2003 G gene) (Set 1), or RSV B strain Wash/18537/62 (VR-1580) and hMPV 4 Type B2 (Peru1-2002, B2) (Set 2) were diluted in negative nasal matrix to 2x LOD for moderate positive, 1x LOD for low positive and diluted to C20 to C80 for high negative / low positive. Negative nasal matrix without spiked virus was used for the negative sample. Positive and negative controls were run in triplicate along with the panels. The panels were run by two operators at each testing site for five (5) nonconsecutive days. The study was completed by the in-house laboratory (Athens facility of Quidel Corp), Lab Alliance, and Medical Center of Wisconsin. The Solana RSV+hMPV assay was used per the instructions for use.

Panels and controls were tested at each site by two operators per instrument for five days, each sample tested in three (3) replicates, for a total of 45 results per level for each virus strain (2 operators x 5 days x 3 sites x 3 replicates).

l. Device Description:

The Solana RSV+hMPV Assay amplifies and detects viral RNA present in viral transport media containing nasopharyngeal or nasal swab specimens obtained from symptomatic patients.

The assay consists of two major steps: 1) specimen preparation, and 2) amplification and detection of target sequences specific to RSV and/or hMPV using isothermal Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase-Dependent Amplification (RT-HDA) in the presence of targetspecific fluorescence probes.

A patient nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimen in viral transport media is transferred to a Process Buffer Tube, subjected to heat treatment at 95°C for 5 minutes and mixed. The processed sample is transferred to a Reaction Tube. The Reaction Tube contains lyophilized RT-HDA reagents, dNTPs, primers and probes. Once rehydrated with the processed sample, the Reaction Tube is placed in Solana for amplification and detection of RSV and hMPV specific target sequences. In Solana, the target sequences are amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by RSV and hMPV specific fluorescence probes, respectively. A process control (PRC) is included in the Process Buffer Tube to monitor sample processing, inhibitory substances in clinical samples, reagent failure or device failure. The PRC target is amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by a PRC specific fluorescence probe.

The two target probes and PRC probe are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore on the other end. In addition, the two target probes and PRC probe incorporate one or more RNA bases. Upon annealing to RSV, hMPV or PRC amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. Solana measures and interprets the

fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana then reports the test results to the user on its display screen, and it can print out the results via an attached printer.

L. Test Principle:

The Solana RSV+hMPV Assay amplifies and detects viral RNA present in viral transport media containing nasopharyngeal or nasal swab specimens obtained from symptomatic patients.

The assay consists of two major steps: 1) specimen preparation, and 2) amplification and detection of target sequences specific to RSV and/or hMPV using isothermal Reverse

10

Transcriptase - Helicase-Dependent Amplification (RT-HDA) in the presence of targetspecific fluorescence probes.

A patient nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimen in viral transport media is transferred to a Process Buffer Tube, subjected to heat treatment at 95°C for 5 minutes and mixed. The processed sample is transferred to a Reaction Tube. The Reaction Tube contains lyophilized RT-HDA reagents, dNTPs, primers and probes. Once rehydrated with the processed sample, the Reaction Tube is placed in Solana for amplification and detection of RSV and hMPV specific target sequences. In Solana, the target sequences are amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by RSV and hMPV specific fluorescence probes, respectively. A competitive process control (PRC) is included in the Process Buffer Tube to monitor sample processing, inhibitory substances in clinical samples, reagent failure or device failure. The PRC target is amplified by RSV and hMPV specific primers and detected by a PRC specific fluorescence probe.

The two target probes and PRC probe are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore on the other end. In addition, the two target probes and PRC probe incorporate one or more RNA bases. Upon annealing to RSV, hMPV or PRC amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. Solana measures and interprets the fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana then reports the test results to the user on its display screen, and it can print out the results via an attached printer.

Reproducibility

A four-sample panel consisting of three levels of a combined RSV and hMPV (two (2) strains of each virus) contrived samples and a negative contrived sample were tested in this study. RSV A strain A2 (VR-1540) and hMPV 20 Type A2 (IA14-2003 G gene) (Set 1), or RSV B strain Wash/18537/62 (VR-1580) and hMPV 4 Type B2 (Peru1-2002, B2) (Set 2) were diluted in negative nasal matrix to 2x LOD for moderate positive, 1x LOD for low positive and diluted to C20 to C80 for high negative / low positive. Negative nasal matrix without spiked virus was used for the negative sample. Positive and negative controls were run in triplicate along with the panels. The panels were run by two operators at each testing site for five (5) nonconsecutive days. The study was completed by the in-house laboratory (Athens facility of Quidel Corp), Lab Alliance, and Medical Center of Wisconsin. The Solana RSV+hMPV assay was used per the instructions for use.

11

Panels and controls were tested at each site by two operators per instrument for five days, each sample tested in three (3) replicates, for a total of 45 results per level for each virus strain (2 operators x 5 days x 3 sites x 3 replicates).

Not applicable. This assay is qualitative.

Specimen Stability:

RSV (RSV A, A2 (VR-1540) and RSV B, Wash/18537/62 (VR-1580)) and hMPV (hMPV 16 Type A1, IA10-2003 and hMPV 5 Type B1, Peru3-2003) were formulated in six (6) transport media pooled negative matrix (Copan UTM, Remel M4, Remel M5, Remel M6, Remel M4RT or Copan ESwab transport media) at a final concentration of 2 to 3x LOD level.

The transport media systems containing the contrived samples were stored at 2° to 8°C up to 9 days or -70°C up to 5 weeks. The samples were processed per the instructions for use. Each transport media was tested in 3 replicates at Day 0, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, Day 7 and Day 9 for 2 to 8°C storage or Day 0, week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4 and week 5 for -70°C storage.

RSV and hMPV are stable in transport media BD UTM, Remel M4, Remel M4RT, Remel M5, Remel M6 and Copan eSwab at 2° to 8°C for up to 8 days and at -70°C for up to 10 weeks.

Controls:

Controls (Solana RSV+hMPV Control Set, which contains positive and negative controls and serves as an external processing control) were run on the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay each day of testing. These controls are described as follows:

  • a. The process control is used to monitor sample processing, to detect HDA inhibitory specimens, to confirm the integrity of assay reagents and the operation of the Solana instrument. The process control is included in the Reaction Mix tube.
  • b. The external positive control may be treated as a patient specimen. The control should be sampled and tested as if it were a patient specimen and processed as described above in the Assay Procedure. The external positive control is intended to monitor substantial reagent and instrument failure.

14

  • The external negative control may be treated as a patient specimen. The C. control should be sampled and tested as if it were a patient specimen and processed as described above in the Assay Procedure. The external negative control is used to detect reagent or environmental contamination (or carryover) by RSV and hMPV RNA or amplicon.
    It is recommended that the reactivity of each new lot and each new shipment of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay be verified on receipt and before use. External control tests should be performed thereafter in accordance with appropriate federal, state and local guidelines. The Solana RSV+hMPV Assay should not be used in patient testing if the external controls do not produce the correct results.

  • d. Detection limit:
    The analytical sensitivity (limit of detection or LOD) of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay was determined using quantified (TCID50/mL) cultures of one RSV A, one RSV B, one hMPV A1, one hMPV A2, one hMPV B1 and one hMPV B2 strain, serially diluted in negative nasopharyngeal matrix. Each dilution was run as 20 replicates in the Solana RSV+hMPV assay. Analytical sensitivity (LOD) is defined as the lowest concentration at which at least 95% of all replicates tested positive. The demonstrated LOD for each strain tested is shown below:

  • a. Clinical Sensitivity:
    Performance characteristics of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay were established during a prospective study with specimens collected between January and May 2017. Two thousand sixty-four (2064) specimens prospectively collected specimens have been included in this study at six (6) sites across the United States. Specimens were tested fresh (773) or after freezing (1291) at -70°C. A single nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimen (300 and 1760, respectively) was collected per patient in viral transport media (BD/Copan UTM, Remel M5, Remel M6). Four (4) of the fresh specimens were removed from the study due to protocol deviations (inappropriate specimen type). All specimens were transported to a central location for extraction with the NucliSENS® easyMAG® and testing with a FDA-cleared RSV+hMPV molecular assay. The specimens were processed and tested with Solana RSV+hMPV Assay (frozen (1291) and fresh (769)) on the Solana instrument at one of the six (6) sites.

COMPARISON WITH A FDA-CLEARED RSV+HMPV MOLECULAR ASSAY

Two thousand sixty (2060) specimens were processed using the NucliSENS® easyMAG® and tested with a FDA-cleared RSV+hMPV molecular assay per the assay's package insert.

Of 2060 specimens evaluated in the study, 769 specimens were tested fresh (nonfrozen) using the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay and the Lyra RSV+hMPV Assay for the presence of RSV and hMPV. One thousand two hundred ninety-one (1291) specimens were frozen after collection and stored at -70°C prior to testing with the Solana® RSV+hMPV Assay and the Lyra RSV+hMPV Assay for the presence of RSV and hMPV. Fourteen (14) specimens (9 fresh and 5 frozen) were invalid in the Solana® Assay when initially tested and upon repeat testing (invalid rate of 0.7%, with 95% Cl 0.4% to 1.1%). These fourteen (14) specimens have been excluded from further analysis.

Table 10 details the positive percent agreement (PPA) and the negative percent agreement (NPA) of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay results for RSV, as compared with an FDA cleared molecular comparator, for the remaining two thousand forty-six (2046) specimens.

    1. Expected values:
      The expected values of the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay were established during a prospective study conducted between January and May 2017. Two thousand sixty-four (2064) specimens (fresh (773) and frozen (1291)) have been included in this study at six (6) sites across the United States. Four (4) of the fresh specimens were removed from the study due to protocol deviations (inappropriate specimen type). A single specimen was collected per patient. The specimens were processed and tested with Solana RSV+hMPV Assay on the Solana instrument at the sites.

The expected value of RSV and hMPV with the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay has been calculated for the combined sites based on the age of the patient.

Eighteen (18) of the two thousand sixty-four (2064) specimens were removed from analysis: (four (4) specimens were removed from the study due to protocol deviations (inappropriate specimen type); fourteen (14) specimens were invalid). Table 12 provides the percentage of RSV and hMPV positive cases per specified age group, as determined by the Solana RSV+hMPV Assay, for the remaining two thousand forty-six (2046) specimens.

O. System Descriptions:

1. Modes of Operation:

The Solana instrument heats each reaction tube to 58°C. If present, the target RNA sequence is reverse transcribed into cDNA by the Reverse Transcriptase and RSV or hMPV specific primers that are present in the reaction mix. After the completion of the Reverse Transcriptase step, the Solana instrument heats each reaction tube to 65°C where the isothermal DNA polymerase amplifies the cDNA strands using the RSV or hMPV specific primers. RSV or hMPV specific fluorescence probes are also included in the Reaction Tube. The target probes are labeled with a quencher on one end and a fluorophore specific for the recognition sequence on the other end. In addition, the target probes carry a ribonucleic acid. Upon annealing to amplicons, the fluorescence probes are cleaved by RNaseH2 and the fluorescence signal increases due to physical separation of fluorophore from quencher. The Solana instrument measures and interprets the fluorescent signal, using on-board method-specific algorithms. Solana instrument will then report the test results to the user on its display screen, and it can print out the results via a printer.
