Intended Use

cobas TV/MG on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems is an automated, qualitative in vitro nucleic acid diagnostic test that utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for the direct detection of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) DNA in male or female urine, self-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens, and endocervical specimens, all collected in cobas PCR Media (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.). cobas TV/MG also detects TV DNA in cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt solution and MG DNA in self-collected meatal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting) and clinician-collected meatal swab specimens. This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of TV and MG infections in individuals suspected to have TV or MG infection.

A vaginal swab (self-collected or clinician-collected) is the preferred specimen type for MG testing in females due to higher sensitivity compared to endocervical swabs and urine. For males, urine is the preferred specimen type due to higher sensitivity compared to meatal swabs. If vaginal swab or male urine is not used and MG testing, is negative, further testing with the preferred specimen type may be indicated if M. genitalium infection is strongly suspected.

Device Description

cobas® TV/MG on the cobas® 6800/8800 Systems is an automated, qualitative in vitro nucleic acid diagnostic test for the direct detection of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) DNA in male or female urine, self-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens, and endocervical specimens collected in cobas® PCR Media (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.). cobas® TV/MG also detects TV DNA in cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt® Solution and MG DNA in self-collected meatal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting) and clinician-collected meatal swab specimens. The DNA Internal Control, used to monitor the entire sample preparation and PCR amplification process, is introduced into each specimen during sample processing. In addition, the test utilizes external controls (low titer positive control and a negative control).

cobas® TV/MG is based on fully automated sample preparation (nucleic acid extraction and purification) followed by PCR amplification and detection. The cobas® 6800/8800 Systems consist of the sample supply module, the transfer module, the processing module, and the analytic module. Automated data management is performed by the cobas® 6800/8800 software which assigns test results for all tests as positive, negative or invalid. Results can be reviewed directly on the system screen, exported, or printed as a report.

Nucleic acid from patient samples and added internal control DNA (DNA-IC) molecules are simultaneously extracted. In summary, nucleic acid is released by addition of proteinase and lysis reagent to the sample. The released nucleic acid binds to the silica surface of the added magnetic glass particles. Unbound substances and impurities, such as denatured protein, cellular debris and potential PCR inhibitors are removed with subsequent wash steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted from the magnetic glass particles with elution buffer at elevated temperature. External controls (positive and negative) are processed in the same way with each cobas® TV/MG run.

Selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of targetspecific forward and reverse primers for TV and MG which are selected from highly-conserved regions within the respective target organism. TV is detected by one selective set of primers and a probe, while MG is detected by using two sets targeting separate regions (dual-target). Selective amplification of DNA IC is achieved by the use of sequence-specific forward and reverse primers which are selected to have no homology with either the TV or MG target regions. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for PCR amplification. The target and DNA-IC sequences are amplified simultaneously utilizing a universal PCR amplification profile with predefined temperature steps and number of cycles. The master mix includes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), instead of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA (amplicon). Any contaminating amplicon from previous PCR runs is eliminated by the AmpErase enzyme, which is included in the PCR master mix, during the first thermal cycling step. However, newly formed amplicons are not eliminated since the AmpErase enzyme is inactivated once exposed to temperatures above 55°C.

The cobas® TV/MG master mix contains one detection probe specific for the TV target sequence, two detection probes specific for the MG target sequences and one for the DNA-IC. The probes are labeled with target specific fluorescent reporter dyes allowing simultaneous detection of TV target, MG targets and DNA-IC in three different target channels. When not bound to the target sequence, the fluorescent signal of the intact probes is suppressed by a quencher dye. During the PCR amplification step, hybridization of the probes to the specific single-stranded DNA template results in cleavage of the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase resulting in separation of the reporter and quencher dyes and the generation of a fluorescent signal. With each PCR cycle, increasing amounts of cleaved probes are generated and the cumulative signal of the reporter dye increases concomitantly. Real-time detection and discrimination of PCR products is accomplished by measuring the fluorescence of the released reporter dyes for the TV and MG targets and DNA-IC, respectively.

Note: The document implies these performance characteristics are the acceptance criteria by evaluating the device against them for substantial equivalence.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance:

  • Test Set (Clinical Study):
    • Total subjects enrolled: 2,194 (1,108 females and 1,046 males evaluable for TV and/or MG analyses).
    • Total samples tested: 6,807 (with 5,285 TV results and 5,382 MG results across all specimen types from evaluable subjects).
    • Data Provenance: Multi-site, prospective study from 10 geographically diverse sites in the US.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated as human experts in the context of adjudication for the clinical study. The ground truth (Patient Infected Status - PIS) was established using a combination of FDA-cleared and laboratory-developed tests, not through expert consensus on images or clinical assessments by a panel of medical professionals in an adjudication process.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable in the traditional sense of human readers adjudicating data. The "experts" are the established reference methods (FDA-cleared TV NAATs, TV culture, and 3 laboratory developed MG NAATs).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) PIS:
    • Combination of FDA-cleared TV NAATs and TV culture.
    • If Culture (+) or FDA-Cleared NAAT (+), then PIS = Infected.
    • If both Culture (-) and FDA-Cleared NAAT (-), then PIS = Non-Infected.
    • If either is invalid and the other is positive, PIS = Infected. If the valid test is negative with an invalid, PIS = Indeterminate.
  • Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) PIS:
    • A combination of 3 laboratory developed MG NAATs.
    • "Any 2 positive tests out of the 3 MG reference NAATs used" determined as composite reference standard for positivity. (This implicitly means 2/3 or 3/3 positive for infected, and likely 0/3 or 1/3 positive for non-infected, though not explicitly detailed for all negative scenarios).
    • For the specimen-specific agreement section (Table 41), the ground truth for MG was defined as an "anatomic site-specific composite reference standard" with "any 2 positive tests out of the 3 MG reference NAATs used."

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This study is for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, not an AI imaging or clinical decision support system that would typically involve human readers. The performance evaluation is against a defined gold standard (PIS), not a comparison of human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

  • Yes, a standalone performance was done. The entire study is a standalone (device only) performance study, as the cobas TV/MG system is "an automated, qualitative in vitro nucleic acid diagnostic test." Its performance is evaluated directly against the Patient Infected Status (PIS), without human interpretation in the loop.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Composite Reference Standard (CRS) / Patient Infected Status (PIS).
    • For TV: Combination of FDA-cleared TV NAATs and TV culture.
    • For MG: Combination of 3 laboratory-developed MG NAATs (specifically, any 2 of 3 positive).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. This document describes a PMA (premarket approval) or 510(k) submission for a diagnostic test. For such devices, while methods are developed and validated, a distinct "training set" for an AI algorithm is not typically detailed in these regulatory summaries in the same way it would be for an AI/ML-based device. The analytical studies (LoD, inclusivity, precision, specificity, interference) serve as a comprehensive "training" and "validation" of the assay's chemical and molecular components. The "clinical study" acts as the independent test set for regulatory submission.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. As noted above, typical diagnostic assays do not have a "training set" in the common AI/ML sense with explicitly defined ground truth established for it. The development and optimization of the assay's chemistry and PCR targets would involve internal studies and potentially reference materials to achieve performance targets, but these are part of the overall assay design process rather than a distinct "training set with ground truth."

The DNA Internal Control, used to monitor the entire sample preparation and PCR

amplification process, is introduced into each specimen during sample processing. In addition, the test utilizes external controls (low titer positive control and a negative control).

Principles of the procedure 1.1.

cobas® TV/MG is based on fully automated sample preparation (nucleic acid extraction and purification) followed by PCR amplification and detection. The cobas® 6800/8800 Systems consist of the sample supply module, the transfer module, the processing module, and the analytic module. Automated data management is performed by the cobas® 6800/8800 software which assigns test results for all tests as positive, negative or invalid. Results can be reviewed directly on the system screen, exported, or printed as a report.

Nucleic acid from patient samples and added internal control DNA (DNA-IC) molecules are simultaneously extracted. In summary, nucleic acid is released by addition of proteinase and lysis reagent to the sample. The released nucleic acid binds to the silica surface of the added magnetic glass particles. Unbound substances and impurities, such as denatured protein, cellular debris and potential PCR inhibitors are removed with subsequent wash steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted from the magnetic glass particles with elution buffer at elevated temperature. External controls (positive and negative) are processed in the same way with each cobas® TV/MG run.

Selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of targetspecific forward and reverse primers for TV and MG which are selected from highly-conserved regions within the respective target organism. TV is detected by one selective set of primers and a probe, while MG is detected by using two sets targeting separate regions (dual-target). Selective amplification of DNA IC is achieved by the use of sequence-specific forward and reverse primers which are selected to have no homology with either the TV or MG target regions. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for PCR amplification. The target and DNA-IC sequences are amplified simultaneously utilizing a universal PCR amplification profile with predefined temperature steps and number of cycles. The master mix includes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), instead of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA (amplicon). Any contaminating amplicon from previous PCR runs is eliminated by the AmpErase enzyme, which is included in the PCR master mix, during the first thermal cycling step. However, newly formed amplicons are not eliminated since the AmpErase enzyme is inactivated once exposed to temperatures above 55°C.

{6}------------------------------------------------

The cobas® TV/MG master mix contains one detection probe specific for the TV target sequence, two detection probes specific for the MG target sequences and one for the DNA-IC. The probes are labeled with target specific fluorescent reporter dyes allowing simultaneous detection of TV target, MG targets and DNA-IC in three different target channels. When not bound to the target sequence, the fluorescent signal of the intact probes is suppressed by a quencher dye. During the PCR amplification step, hybridization of the probes to the specific single-stranded DNA template results in cleavage of the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase resulting in separation of the reporter and quencher dyes and the generation of a fluorescent signal. With each PCR cycle, increasing amounts of cleaved probes are generated and the cumulative signal of the reporter dye increases concomitantly. Real-time detection and discrimination of PCR products is accomplished by measuring the fluorescence of the released reporter dyes for the TV and MG targets and DNA-IC, respectively.

3. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The primary technological characteristics and intended use of the RMS cobas® TV/MG for use on the cobas® 6800/8800 systems are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed nucleic acid amplification tests intended for the qualitative detection of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) and/or Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).

As indicated in Table 1, the cobas® TV/MNG for use on the cobas® 6800/8800 systems is substantially equivalent to significant characteristics of the identified predicate device, Hologic Aptima M. Genitalium Assay (DEN 180047).

4.3. Precision (within laboratory)

In-house precision was examined using a panel composed of TV and MG cultures diluted into pooled negative urine stabilized in cobas® PCR Media, as well as in contrived matrices representing vaginal and meatal swab specimens collected in cobas® PCR Media or in cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt® Solution.

The precision panel for each matrix was designed to include members without TV and/or MG as well as those with high negative, low and moderate concentrations of TV and MG, corresponding to ~0.3x, ~1x and ~3x LoD. Testing was performed using three lots of cobas® TV/MG reagents and two instruments over twelve days and with two runs per day for a total of twenty-four runs. Each run consisted of three replicates of each sample. Description of the precision panels and the observed positivity rates are shown in Table 5. All negative panel members tested negative throughout the study.

Analytical specificity/cross reactivity 4.4.

A panel of 102 bacteria, fungi and viruses, including those commonly found in the male and female urogenital tract, were tested with cobas® TV/MG to assess analytical specificity. The organisms listed in Table 8 were spiked at concentrations of approximately 1 x 10° units/mL for bacteria and approximately 1 x 105 units/mL for viruses into pooled negative urine stabilized in cobas® PCR Media. Testing was performed with each potential interfering organism in absence and presence of TV and MG target (spiked at approximately 3x LoD). Three replicates were tested for each organism in absence of target and one in presence of target. None of the organisms tested interfered with the test performance by generating false positive results for either TV or MG targets. Detection of MG target was not affected by any of the organisms tested. Trichomonas tenax interfered with detection of TV target at concentration level of 1 x 10° CFU/mL, but did not interfere with detection of TV target when tested at concentration level of 1 x 104 CFU/mL. Trichomonas tenax is a commensal of the oral cavity.

4.5. Interference

The effect of over-the-counter or prescription products that may be present in urogenital specimens (Table 9) were evaluated. Possible interference from glacial acetic acid occasionally utilized in cytologic evaluation of cervical specimens was also assessed. Testing was done using pooled negative clinical specimens in the presence of TV and MG (spiked at approximately 3x LoD), and non-clinical/contrived matrices when testing in the absence of TV and MG. For each specimen type, three replicates were tested for each substance in the presence of and one in the absence of target organisms.

Eighteen products (including glacial acetic acid) as listed in Table 9 did not interfere with cobas® TV/MG when tested at concentrations of 1.0mg/mL or 1% v/v as applicable.

***Semen tested from swab dipped in fluid. Swab was weighed before and after to determine concentration.

Competitive inhibition 4.6.

To assess competitive inhibition between TV and MG, samples of swabs, urine and PreservCvt® specimens were tested with low and moderate concentrations of one target mixed with very high concentrations of the opposite target. Low and moderate concentrations were defined as ~1 x LoD and ~3x LoD, respectively, and high concentrations (≥ 105 cells/mL for TV and ≥ 10° copies/mL for MG) were defined as those generating a signal greater than observed in 95% of target positive clinical specimens.

Testing results indicated that when MG was present at a high concentration, TV was detected in all specimen types, at both the low (~1x LoD) and moderate (~3x LoD) levels. Results also indicated that when TV was present at a high concentration. MG was detected in all specimen types at both the low (~1x LoD) and moderate (~3x LoD) levels.

{18}------------------------------------------------

Cross contamination/Carryover 4.7.

Studies were performed to evaluate potential cross-contamination on the cobas® 6800/8800 Systems using cobas® TV/MG. Cross-contamination can cause false positive results. In this performance study the sample-to-sample cross-contamination rate of cobas® TV/MG has been determined to be 0.7% (4/576, upper one-sided 95% CI of 1.6%) for TV and 0.0% (0/480, upper one-sided 95% CI of 0.6%) for MG when alternating very high positive and negative samples were tested over 11 runs for TV and 10 runs for MG. Run-to-run cross-contamination has not been observed (0/188). Testing was done using samples prepared with cobas® PCR Media and with PreservCyt® Solution. High positive samples in the study were prepared to generate a Ct value that exceeds 95% or more of signal obtained from specimens of infected patients in the intended use population. Cross contamination rates in clinical settings depend on the proportion of high positive samples and prevalence of the disease. Routine clinical cross-contamination rates need to be assessed in user setting.

5. CLINICAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Reproducibility study 5.1.

A reproducibility study was performed across different sites, days, operators/batches, for cobas® TV/MG using panels prepared from vaginal swabs, meatal swabs, and urine in cobas® PCR Media and cervical specimens in PreservCyt® Solution. Testing was performed at two external sites and one site that was in-house at Roche Molecular Systems. One panel consisted of 4 sample matrices, with six concentrations per matrix, and three replicates per concentration for a total of 72-samples in one panel. A batch was comprised of one 72-sample panel and two controls (one positive and negative control). Two operators at each site tested one batch each per day. Two valid batches had to be completed within a 24-hour period. Each site received two of three reagent lots and performed 6 days of testing per reagent lot for a total of 12 days of testing.

5.1.1. Negative panels

For each sample type, the percent of correct results for all combined TV negative panel members (i.e., "Negative TV, Negative MG" and "Negative TV, ~1.0x LoD MG") ranged from 99.3% to 100% (432/432). All of the valid tests from each of the urine and PreservCyt® sample types were negative and the percent of correct results was estimated at 100% (432/432) with a corresponding 95% Clopper-Pearson exact CI of (99.1%, 100%). For vaginal swab, the percent

{19}------------------------------------------------

of correct results was estimated as 99.3% (429/432) with a corresponding 95% Clopper-Pearson exact CI of (98.0%, 99.9%) for TV.

For each sample type, the percent of correct results for all combined MG negative panel members (i.e., "Negative TV, Negative MG" and "~1.0x LoD TV, Negative MG") ranged from 99.8% to 100%. All of the valid tests from each of the urine and vaginal swab sample types were negative and the percent of correct results was estimated at 100% (432/432) with a corresponding 95% Clopper-Pearson exact CI of (99.1%, 100%). For meatal swab, the percent of correct results for MG was estimated as 99.8% (431/432) with a corresponding 95% Clopper-Pearson exact CI of (98.7%, 100%).

Trichomonas vaginalis panels 5.1.2.

For each positive panel member, precision was evaluated using a random effects model by sample type with terms for lot, site, day, operator/batch within site, lot and day, and within-batch components by the corresponding analyte cycle threshold (Ct) values of cobas® TV/MG. Table 12 presents the total SD, and total percent CV (%) from these analyses. The range of the total CV, across the positive panel members, was from 1.2% to 2.7%. The maximum total CV was observed in the PCR Media/Urine with the "~1.0x LoD TV, ~3.0x LoD MG" panel member and most of that variability (95.2% of the total variance) was explained by random error (withinbatch).

5.1.3. Mycoplasma genitalium panels

For each positive panel member, precision was evaluated using a random effects model by sample type with terms for lot, site, day, operator/batch within site, lot and day, and within-batch components on the corresponding analyte cycle threshold (Ct) values of cobas® TV/MG. Table 16 presents the total SD and total CV (%) from these analyses. The range of the total coefficient of variation, among positive panel members, was from 0.8% to 4.0%. The higher total coefficient of variation was observed in the lowest concentration of positive panel members (~0.3x LoD TV, ~0.3x LoD MG) for all sample types and most of that variability (75.8% for PCR Media/urine, 100% for PCR Media/vaginal swab, and 83.7% for PCR Media/vaginal swab) was explained by random error (within-batch).

5.2. Clinical study

The clinical performance of cobas® TV/MG was established in a multi-site, prospective study by comparing the results to a Patient Infected Status (PIS) that used a combination of FDA-cleared TV NAATs, TV culture, and 3 laboratory developed MG NAATs. Female and male urogenital specimens were collected from subjects enrolled at 10 geographically diverse sites in the US with testing performed at 6 laboratory testing sites (5 external and 1 internal).

Female subjects provided the following urogenital specimens: first-void urine, 1 self-collected and 4 clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens (self-collection arm of the study), or 5 clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens (clinician-collected arm of the study), a cliniciancollected endocervical swab in cobas® PCR Media, and a cervical specimen in PreservCyt® Solution obtained with a spatula/cytobrush broom. If the female subject was in the self-collected arm of the study, then 1 vaginal swab was self-collected first and placed in cobas® PCR Media and then followed by 4 clinician-collected vaginal swabs transferred to the respective transport media collection devices. If the female subject was in the clinician-collected arm of the study, then 5 clinician-collected vaginal swabs were transferred to the respective transport media collection devices.

Male subjects provided the following urogenital specimens: 1 self-collected penile meatal swab (self-collection arm of the study) and urine, or 1 clinician-collected penile meatal swab (clinician-collected arm of the study) and urine. Each meatal swab was placed in cobas® PCR Media. Urine collected from each subject was placed in cobas® PCR Media and the respective transport media collection devices.

Subjects were classified as symptomatic if they self-reported symptoms or based on the discretion of the examining clinician were determined to have symptoms indicative of a TV or MG infection as listed below:

  • Dysuria (pain and/or discomfort during urination) .
  • Coital pain, difficulty or bleeding .
  • Pelvic pain .
  • Any abnormal vaginal discharge .
  • Unusual vaginal odor .
  • Pelvic, uterine or ovarian pain .

{36}------------------------------------------------

  • . Penile discharge
  • Testicular pain .
  • Scrotal pain or swelling, itching, burning, redness, or soreness of genitals .

Subjects were classified as asymptomatic based on the absence of symptoms.

Specimens were tested for TV and MG using cobas® TV/MG and the TV or MG assays determining the PIS. All tests were run according to the respective manufacturers Instructions for Use or as per the laboratory developed MG NAAT SOPs.

The clinical performance of cobas® TV/MG was evaluated by comparing the results from collected specimen types to a pre-specified PIS algorithm as determined by the combination of 2 commercially available tests (NAAT and culture) for TV and 3 laboratory developed NAATs for MG. The PIS algorithms were derived from the results of testing vaginal swabs in women and the results of testing urine in men for the determination of TV PIS and MG PIS respectively as shown in Table 21 and Table 22.

{37}------------------------------------------------

Sensitivity(SENS), specificity (SPEC), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of cobas® TV/MG were calculated separately for the detection of TV or MG using the PIS as the composite reference standard and evaluated by gender, specimen type, and symptom status.

Results 5.2.1.

A total of 2,194 subjects were enrolled and across all specimen types, 6807 samples were tested on of cobas® TV/MG, of which 12 samples had invalid results for TV and/or MG in the first run, hence an invalid rate of 0.18% (12/6807) with 95% Score CI of (0.10%, 0.31%)). Upon repeat testing of the 12 samples, 5 yielded valid results and 7 yielded invalid results.

From the total of 2,194 subjects enrolled, 2,154 were considered evaluable (1,108 females and 1,046 males) for TV and/or MG analyses. The 2,154 evaluable subjects contributed a total of 5,285 TV and 5,382 MG results across all specimen types.

TV clinical performance 5.2.1.1.

Table 23 and Table 24 summarize the results by gender from symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects designated as Infected or Non-Infected with TV according to the PIS algorithm. A total of 171 females and 23 males were infected with valid TV result. Symptoms were reported in 67% (116/171) of infected and 56% (509/909) of non-infected females. Symptoms were reported in 56.5% (13/23) of infected and 31% (302/960) of non-infected males.

Table 33: MG positive/negative analysis for male PIS

Asymp = asymptomatic; Symp = symptomatic.

Note: Two or more positive results in urine specimens from males determines the PIS as 'Infected'. Any other combination of valid results defines their PIS as 'Non-Infected'. If one of the NAATs is invalid, the two remaining NAAT results must

be concordant positive (+) or concordant negative (-) for the PIS to be 'Infected' or 'Non-Infected',

respectively. For any other combination of invalid results PIS is considered 'Indeterminate'.

Note: Subjects with a designated patient infection status (Infected or Non-Infected) and a valid test result with cobas" TV/ MG for MG are considered evaluable and included in this summary table.

Note: + denotes Positive, - denotes Negative, N/A = data not available.

Note: MS-C = clinician-collected meatal swab; MS-S = self-collected meatal swab; UR = urine.

Note: MG = Mycoplasma genitalium; NAAT = nucleic acid amplification test; TV = Trichomonas vaginalis.

Note: "Invalid" is a sample that either had an instrument amplification error or whose result was excluded due to a protocol deviation.

Note: "Failed" is a sample that had an instrument processing error.

5.2.1.6. Cycle threshold frequency distribution for MG

A total of 392 specimens (combined female and male) were positive for MG. The frequency distribution of Ct values from cobas® TV/MG positive results for MG infected specimens are shown in Figure 3.

{54}------------------------------------------------

Figure 3: Cycle threshold distribution of MG positive specimens

Image /page/54/Figure/1 description: The image is a histogram showing the distribution of Ct values for MG positive specimens. The x-axis represents the Ct value, ranging from 10 to 50, while the y-axis represents the number of MG positive specimens, ranging from 0 to 60. The histogram shows that the majority of specimens have Ct values between 30 and 40, with a peak around 35. There are fewer specimens with Ct values below 25 or above 40.

Specimen-specific agreement for the detection of MG 5.3.

A study was conducted with prospectively collected female and male urogenital specimens from 836 subjects (412 females and 424 males). This study analyzed the performance of cobas® TV/MG for the detection of MG in female (urine, vaginal swab, and endocervical swab) and male (urine and meatal swab) specimen types with respect to an anatomic site-specific composite reference standard (i.e., cobas® TV/MG urine results were compared to a urine-specific composite reference, and the same for the other female and male specimen types). The composite reference standard was comprised of 3 MG NAATs where the determination of truth was based on any 2 positive tests out of the 3 MG reference NAATs used.

CONCLUSIONS 6.

A comparison of the intended use, technological characteristics, and the results of non-clinical analytical and clinical performance studies demonstrate that cobas® TV/MG for use on the cobas® 6800/8800 systems is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 866.3393 Device to detect nucleic acids from non-viral microorganism(s) causing sexually transmitted infections and associated resistance marker(s).

(a)
Identification. A device to detect nucleic acids from non-viral microorganism(s) causing sexually transmitted infections and associated resistance marker(s) is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the detection and identification of nucleic acids from non-viral microorganism(s) and their associated resistance markers in clinical specimens collected from patients suspected of sexually transmitted infections. The device is intended to aid in the diagnosis of non-viral sexually transmitted infections in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data. These devices do not provide confirmation of antibiotic susceptibility since mechanisms of resistance may exist that are not detected by the device.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The intended use for the labeling required under § 809.10 of this chapter must include a detailed description of targets the device detects, the results provided to the user, the clinical indications appropriate for test use, and the specific population(s) for which the device is intended.
(2) Any sample collection device used must be FDA-cleared, -approved, or -classified as 510(k) exempt (standalone or as part of a test system) for the collection of specimen types claimed by this device; alternatively, the sample collection device must be cleared in a premarket submission as a part of this device.
(3) The labeling required under § 809.10(b) of this chapter must include:
(i) A detailed device description, including reagents, instruments, ancillary materials, all control elements, and a detailed explanation of the methodology, including all pre-analytical methods for processing of specimens;
(ii) Detailed discussion of the performance characteristics of the device for all claimed specimen types based on analytical studies, including Limit of Detection, inclusivity, cross-reactivity, interfering substances, competitive inhibition, carryover/cross contamination, specimen stability, within lab precision, and reproducibility, as appropriate;
(iii) Detailed descriptions of the test procedure, the interpretation of test results for clinical specimens, and acceptance criteria for any quality control testing;
(iv) Limiting statements indicating that:
(A) A negative test result does not preclude the possibility of infection;
(B) The test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician;
(C) Reliable results are dependent on adequate specimen collection, transport, storage, and processing. Failure to observe proper procedures in any one of these steps can lead to incorrect results; and
(D) If appropriate (
e.g., recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, by current well-accepted clinical guidelines, or by published peer reviewed research), that the clinical performance is inferior in a specific clinical subpopulation or for a specific claimed specimen type; and(v) If the device is intended to detect antimicrobial resistance markers, limiting statements, as appropriate, indicating that:
(A) Negative results for claimed resistance markers do not indicate susceptibility of detected microorganisms, as resistance markers not measured by the assay or other potential mechanisms of antibiotic resistance may be present;
(B) Detection of resistance markers cannot be definitively linked to specific microorganisms and the source of a detected resistance marker may be an organism not detected by the assay, including colonizing flora;
(C) Detection of antibiotic resistance markers may not correlate with phenotypic gene expression; and
(D) Therapeutic failure or success cannot be determined based on the assay results, since nucleic acid may persist following appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
(4) Design verification and validation must include:
(i) Detailed device description documentation, including methodology from obtaining sample to result, design of primer/probe sequences, rationale for target sequence selection, and computational path from collected raw data to reported result (
e.g., how collected raw signals are converted into a reported result).(ii) Detailed documentation of analytical studies, including, Limit of Detection, inclusivity, cross-reactivity, microbial interference, interfering substances, competitive inhibition, carryover/cross contamination, specimen stability, within lab precision, and reproducibility, as appropriate.
(iii) Detailed documentation and performance results from a clinical study that includes prospective (sequential) samples for each claimed specimen type and, when determined to be appropriate by FDA, additional characterized clinical samples. The study must be performed on a study population consistent with the intended use population and compare the device performance to results obtained from FDA accepted comparator methods. Documentation from the clinical studies must include the clinical study protocol (including a predefined statistical analysis plan) study report, testing results, and results of all statistical analyses.
(iv) A detailed description of the impact of any software, including software applications and hardware-based devices that incorporate software, on the device's functions.
