The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is a rapid membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the qualitative detection of a Campylobacter-specific antigen in human fecal specimens. The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is designed to detect C. jejuni and C. coli from patients with signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis. The test is intended for use with preserved fecal specimens in transport media and unpreserved fecal specimens. Test results should be considered in conjunction with clinical findings and patient history.
The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test uses antibodies that recognize a Campylobacter-specific antigen in human fecal samples. The device contains a Reaction Window with two vertical lines of immobilized antibodies. The test line ("T") contains antibodies against a Campylobacter-specific antigen. The control line ("C"), contains anti-IgG antibodies. The Conjugate consists of antibodies to a Campylobacter-specific antigen coupled to horseradish peroxidase. To perform the test, a fecal specimen is added to a tube containing a mixture of Diluent and Conjugate. The diluted sample-conjugate mixture is added to the Sample Well and the device is allowed to incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes. During the incubation, the Campylobacter-specific antigens in the sample bind to the antibody-peroxidase conjugate. The antigen-antibody complexes migrate through a filter pad to a membrane where they are captured by the immobilized anti-Campylobacter antibodies in the line. The Reaction Window is subsequently washed with Wash Buffer, followed by the addition of Substrate. After a 10-minute incubation, the "T" reaction is examined visually for the appearance of a vertical blue line. A blue line indicates a positive "C" reaction, indicated by a vertical blue line, monitors/confirms that the sample and reagents were added correctly, the reagents were active at the time of performing the assay, and that the sample migrated properly through the Membrane Device. It also confirms the reactivity of the other reagents associated with the assay and that the results are valid.
The document describes the performance of the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test, a rapid membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the qualitative detection of a Campylobacter-specific antigen in human fecal specimens.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for this device are implied by the reported performance relative to a "gold standard" (culture followed by further confirmation for discrepant results). While explicit numerical acceptance criteria are not stated for sensitivity and specificity in the provided text, the reported performance is presented as the device meeting the equivalency with the predicate and performing as well or better than standard culture.
| Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by equivalence and performance "as well or better than culture") | Reported Device Performance (CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test vs. Culture) |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | High (to ensure few false negatives) | 97.1% (95% CI: 85.5% - 99.9%) |
| Specificity | High (to ensure few false positives) | 99.1% (95% CI: 98.5% - 99.5%) |
Additional performance aspects that were evaluated include:
- Analytical Sensitivity (LoD): Established at various CFU/mL and CFU/test for C. jejuni and C. coli in raw fecal samples and different transport media.
- Analytical Specificity (Cross-Reactivity): No interference found with a broad panel of common intestinal organisms and viruses.
- Inclusivity: Found to be reactive with several tested strains of C. coli and C. jejuni (including C. jejuni sub-species doylei).
- Reproducibility: 100% correlation in results across different labs, technicians, and kit lots, with expected results 100% of the time.
- Prozone Effect: No prozone effect observed at high antigen concentrations.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size (Prospective Study): 1552 patients.
- Data Provenance (Prospective Study): The study was conducted at 4 independent sites. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA, and U.S. formulation information is mentioned for interfering substances, implying a U.S. context. The study was prospective, as it involved "Prospective incoming fecal specimens collected and tested."
- Sample Size (Retrospective Study): 30 specimens.
- Data Provenance (Retrospective Study): The data provenance (country) for the retrospective specimens is not specified. The study was retrospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The ground truth for the primary clinical performance comparison (prospective study) was established by culture. While culture is a standard method, the text does not mention the number or qualifications of experts involved in performing or interpreting the initial culture results.
For the discrepant specimens (14 from the prospective study and 30 from the retrospective study), further characterization was performed using:
- An FDA-cleared commercial Microassay well EIA
- An FDA-cleared commercial molecular test
- In-house PCR (detecting the 16s rRNA gene of Campylobacter specific identification, and species-specific identification for the retrospective study)
- Bidirectional sequencing
The number of experts involved in interpreting these additional confirmatory tests or establishing a final consensus ground truth for discrepants is not specified in the document, nor are their qualifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
For the initial 1552 prospective specimens, the comparison was directly between the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test and culture.
For the 14 discrepant specimens (culture negative/device positive, or culture positive/device negative) from the prospective study, an adjudication method was used by referring them for additional testing with multiple methods (commercial EIA, commercial molecular test, in-house PCR, bidirectional sequencing) at TECHLAB. The results of these additional tests were used to "confirm" the status of the discrepant samples. For example, 9 out of 13 culture negative/device positive samples were confirmed positive by all additional test methods. This suggests a form of consensus or comprehensive secondary testing was used to re-evaluate the true status of these discrepant cases. The specific consensus rule (e.g., majority vote, all methods agree) is not explicitly detailed.
For the 30 retrospective specimens, all were initially Campylobacter spp. culture positive and were "further characterized as Campylobacter spp. positive by an FDA-cleared commercial Microassay well EIA, an FDA-cleared commercial molecular test, in-house PCR... and bidirectional sequencing." This indicates a multi-method confirmation process for the ground truth of these samples before being tested retrospectively by the device.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, and Effect Size
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not done. This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for antigen detection, not an AI-powered image analysis or diagnostic aid for human readers. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable here.
6. If a Standalone Study Was Done
Yes, a standalone study was performed ("algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance"). The entire performance evaluation, including the prospective and retrospective studies, analytical sensitivity, specificity, inclusivity, and prozone, evaluates the performance of the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test device itself. The primary clinical performance (sensitivity and specificity) is presented for the device's ability to detect the target antigen compared to culture.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The primary ground truth used for the clinical performance evaluation (prospective study) was bacterial culture.
For discrepant samples, the ground truth was further refined and confirmed by multiple orthogonal laboratory methods, including an FDA-cleared commercial Microassay well EIA, an FDA-cleared commercial molecular test, in-house PCR, and bidirectional sequencing. This can be considered a form of expert consensus derived from multiple confirmatory tests.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide information on a training set sample size. This is likely because the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is a traditional immunoassay device, not an AI/machine learning model that typically requires a large training dataset. The studies described are for validation and performance evaluation of the manufactured device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no training set is mentioned for an AI/machine learning model, this question is not applicable.

Intended Use
The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is a rapid membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the qualitative detection of a Campylobacter-specific antigen in human fecal specimens. The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is designed to detect C. jejuni and C. coli from patients with signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis. The test is intended for use with preserved fecal specimens in transport media and unpreserved fecal specimens. Test results should be considered in conjunction with clinical findings and patient history.
Explanation
Worldwide, Campylobacter species are the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, with 400-500 million cases of diarrhea each vear. Infants in developing countries are at even greater risk. as are travelers to those countries. Campylobacter-associated gastroenteritis is estimated to affect nearly 1 million people a year in the USA. In approximately 1 of 1000 cases, Campylobacter jejuni is closely linked to the subsequent development of Guillian-Barre Syndrome, an acute auto-immune paralysis. C. jeiuni infection has also been associated with reactive arthritis in both children and adults. When individuals with severe symptoms of gastroenteritis seek medical help, the clinician is faced with multiple possible causes that can present with similar clinical features (e.g., diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain) but that require very different, often conflicting, types of treatment.
For Campylobacter, the current standard for identification is bacterial culture followed by microscopic examination of the organisms. Although this traditional method is straightforward, it has two major limitations. First, pathogenic species of Campylobacter are microaerophilic or strictly anaerobic, so that exposure of culture or feces to environmental oxygen leads to death or inactivation of the bacteria. Thus, during transport or storage of specimens under aerobic conditions, the number of viable organisms can decrease, leading to potentially inaccurate culture results. Second. Campylobacter species are slow-growing, requiring from 48-72 hours before reaching a point where the culture can safely be reported as negative. Such delays can leave the clinician in a quandary and the patient with non-specific, ineffective, or even inappropriate treatment.
The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test allows detection of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, the species most commonly associated with human disease, in less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test does not rely on bacterial viability, and can be performed on the bench-top with samples that have been exposed to air.
Device Description
The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test uses antibodies that recognize a Campylobacterspecific antigen in human fecal samples. The device contains a Reaction Window with two vertical lines of immobilized antibodies. The test line ("T") contains antibodies against a Campylobacterspecific antigen. The control line ("C"), contains anti-IgG antibodies. The Conjugate consists of antibodies to a Campylobacter-specific antigen coupled to horseradish peroxidase. To perform the test, a fecal specimen is added to a tube containing a mixture of Diluent and Conjugate. The diluted sample-conjugate mixture is added to the Sample Well and the device is allowed to incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes. During the incubation, the Campylobacter-specific antigens in the sample bind to the antibody-peroxidase conjugate. The antigen-antibody complexes migrate through a filter pad to a membrane where they are captured by the immobilized anti-Campylobacter antibodies in the line. The Reaction Window is subsequently washed with Wash Buffer, followed by the addition of Substrate. After a 10-minute incubation, the "T" reaction is examined visually for the appearance of a vertical blue line. A blue line indicates a positive "C" reaction, indicated by a vertical blue line, monitors/confirms that the sample and reagents were added correctly, the reagents were active at the time of performing the assay, and that the sample migrated properly through the

The 14 discrepant specimens were further characterized by additional testing at TECHLAB. This testing included an FDA-cleared commercial Microassay well EIA, an FDA-cleared commercial molecular test, inhouse PCR (detecting the 16s rRNA gene of Campylobacter specific identification), and bidirectional sequencing.
- Nine of the 13 specimens that were culture negative and CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test positive were confirmed to be positive for C. jejuni with all test methods.
Two of the 13 specimens that were culture negative and CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test positive were confirmed to be positive with the commercial EIA, in-house PCR, and bidirectional sequencing.
{7}------------------------------------------------
One of the 13 specimens that was culture negative and CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test positive was confirmed to be positive with an FDA-cleared commercial molecular test, in-house PCR and bidirectional sequencing.
One specimen that was culture negative and CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test positive was confirmed to be positive for C. upsaliensis (an important pathogen) by species-specific PCR and sequencina.
** The one specimen that was culture positive and CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test negative was confirmed to be negative for C. jejuni or C. coli with all test methods.
Retrospective Study
Supplemental testing was performed on 30 retrospective specimens. The patient ages ranged from less than 11 months to 74 years. All retrospective specimens were Campylobacter spp. culture positive and were further characterized as Campylobacter spp. positive by an FDA-cleared commercial Microassay well EIA, an FDA-cleared commercial molecular test, in-house PCR (detecting the 16s rRNA gene of Campylobacter spp., and species-specific identification), and bidirectional sequencing. These specimens were then tested in the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test. All 30 specimens tested positive for Campylobacter spp. by all methods, yielding 100% correlation with all test methods.
Reproducibility
The reproducibility of the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test was determined using 8 fecal specimens that were coded to prevent their identification during testing. Testing was performed at 2 independent laboratories and on-site at TECHLAB, Inc. The samples included 2 negative samples, 2 high negative samples, 2 low positive samples and 2 moderate positive samples. The samples were tested in triplicate twice a day over a 5-day period by multiple technicians at each site using 2 different kit lots. A positive and negative control was run with each panel of the masked samples. The results from each laboratory were submitted to TECHLAB, Inc. and compared with in-house results. The results were consistent among the different locations, and exhibited a correlation of 100%. The samples produced the expected results 100% of the time.
Analytical Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the test was determined by using C. jejuni and C. coli whole organism culture preparations in a sample matrix. The concentration of C. jejuni and C. coli organisms in fecal matrix at which specimens are positive by the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test 95% of the time is the assay Limit of Detection (LoD).
The Limit of Detection (LoD) for the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test with raw fecal samples was established at 8.39 x 104 CFU/mL (1271 CFU/test) for C. jejuni. For specimens in Protocol™ Cary Blair media, the LoD was established at 1.78 x 108 CFU/mL (2781 CFU/test) for C. jejuni. For specimens in Protocol™ C&S media, the LoD was established at 7.25 x 104 CFU/mL (1133 CFU/test) for C. jejuni.
The Limit of Detection (LoD) for the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test with raw fecal samples was established at 7.70 x 108 CFU/mL (11667 CFU/test) for C. coli. For specimens in Protocol™ Cary Blair media, the LoD was established at 2.22 x 10° CFU/mL (34688 CFU/test) for C. coli. For specimens in Protocol™ C&S media, the LoD was established at 1.56 x 10° CFU/mL (24375 CFU/test) for C. coli.

To ensure that a high concentration of Campylobacter antigen does not interfere with a positive reaction in the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test, high positive samples were prepared by spiking a negative fecal pool at a concentration possibly observed in clinical specimens. A total of 5 different dilutions of C. jejuni and C. coli whole organism culture preparation, up to and including the clinically observed high concentration, were prepared and tested in triplicate. The results demonstrated that there was no overall prozone effect, that elevated levels of antigen did not affect the detection of the antigen.
CONCLUSION
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK™ test is as safe and as effective and performs as well or better than standard culture, and is equivalent to the predicate device in performance. The information submitted in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

Campylobacter fetus serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identifyCampylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases.Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
