The summary describes a multiplexed nucleic acid test for pathogen detection, which is a standard molecular diagnostic technique. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.
No
This device is a diagnostic test (multiplexed nucleic acid test) for identifying pathogens in stool samples, and its intended use is to aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections, not to provide therapy or treatment.
Yes
The text explicitly states: "The detection and identification of specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestion when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings and epidemiological information." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device is a multiplexed nucleic acid test that requires laboratory instruments (Luminex® 100/200™ and MAGPIX®) and analyzes physical specimens (human stool). While it uses software (xPONENT®), it is fundamentally a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is a "multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral, bacterial and parasitic nucleic acids in human stool specimens... from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis." This clearly describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a human specimen (stool) to provide information for diagnosis.
- Purpose: The purpose is to "aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestion when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings and epidemiological information." This aligns directly with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for clinical purposes.
- Specimen Type: The test uses "human stool specimens," which are biological specimens taken from the human body.
- Output: The output is the "qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral, bacterial and parasitic nucleic acids," which are analytical results derived from the specimen.
The description of the device's function and intended use fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) is a multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral, bacterial and parasitic nucleic acids in human stool specimens or human stool in Cary-Blair media from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. The following pathogen types, subtypes and toxin genes are identified using the xTAG GPP:
Viruses
· Adenovirus 40/41
· Norovirus GI/GII
· Rotavirus A
Bacteria
· Campylobacter (C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari only)
· Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) toxin A/B
· Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157
· Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) LT/ST
· Salmonella
· Shiga-like Toxin producing E. coli (STEC) stx 1/stx 2
· Shigella (S. boydii, S. sonnei, S. flexneri and S. dysenteriae)
· Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) cholera toxin gene (ctx)
Parasites
· Cryptosporidium (C. parvum and C. hominis only)
· Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica)
· Giardia (G. lamblia only, also known as G. intestinalis and G. duodenalis)
The detection and identification of specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestion when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings and epidemiological information. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks.
xTAG GPP positive results are presumptive and must be confirmed by FDA-cleared tests or other acceptable reference methods.
The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Confirmed positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms that are not detected by this test, and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative xTAG GPP 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 non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease.
xTAG GPP is not intended to monitor or guide treatment for C. difficile infections.
The xTAG GPP test is indicated for use with the Luminex® 100/200™ and MAGPIX® instruments with xPONENT® software.

§ 866.3990 Gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay.
(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay is a qualitativein vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acids extracted from human stool specimens. The device detects specific nucleic acid sequences for organism identification as well as for determining the presence of toxin genes. The detection and identification of a specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infection when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation and other laboratory findings. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection and identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are set forth in FDA's guideline document entitled: “Class II Special Controls Guideline: Gastrointestinal Microorganism Multiplex Nucleic Acid-Based Assays for Detection and Identification of Microorganisms and Toxin Genes from Human Stool Specimens.” For availability of the guideline document, see § 866.1(e).
