Device Description
The binx health io CT/NG Assay System (the "binx io System", "binx io CT/NG Assay" or "the System") is a rapid qualitative in vitro diagnostic system consisting of the following:
-
- The binx io Instrument for running the Cartridge (the "Instrument")
-
- The binx io CT/NG Cartridge (the "CT/NG Cartridge", "Cartridge" or "Cartridges"), that contains all the necessary reagents to perform the binx io CT/NG Assay (the "Assay") on the binx io Instrument
-
- A single-use, fixed-volume transfer pipet (packaged with the Cartridge) for transferring the sample to the Cartridge
-
- A Male Urine Collection Kit consisting of sample Collection tube containing preservation medium and a transfer pipet (the "Male Urine Collection Kit")
All reagents are contained in the Cartridge as a combination of liquid reagents in blister packs and dried reagents. The Instrument is a small, desk top, fully-integrated instrument that uses air pressure to open and close valves on the binx io CT/NG Cartridge which, in turn, controls the movement of solutions within the Cartridge; the Instrument takes full control of the Cartridges once they are inserted, and no further user interaction is required. The operation of the Instrument is designed to be simple and intuitive; a user follows simple instructions on the graphical user interface (GUI) screen to load the Cartridge onto the Instrument with no further interaction required.
The Male Urine Collection Kit consists of a tube containing a small volume of preservative medium and a Urine Transfer Pipet. To obtain a sample suitable for use on the CT/NG Cartridge, a 20-30 mL first-catch urine sample is collected by a patient in a suitable sterile vessel. The Urine Transfer Pipet provided with the Male Urine Collection Kit is used to transfer a sufficient volume of urine (nominally 4 mL in 2x 2 mL steps) into the collection tube such that the total volume falls between the two indicated lines on the collection tube.
Once a sample has been correctly collected, the required sample volume (0.5 mL) is transferred from the sample collection tube to the Cartridge using the Sample Transfer Pipet provided with the Cartridge. The Cartridge has a visual sample addition indicator window which turns from light to dark to show the user that a sample has been added to the Cartridge.
The Cartridge has three main Assay steps: sample preparation to isolate and purify target DNA; ultra-rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies specific regions of DNA from the target organisms; and a proprietary electrochemical detection method to identify the presence of amplified DNA.
When the specimen is added to the Cartridge, it is automatically mixed with a lysis solution to disrupt the cells present and release DNA which also rehydrates the Internal Process Control (IPC) sample. DNA extraction takes place and the eluted DNA is transferred to a homogenization chamber.
The DNA in solution is transferred into two separate amplification chambers and reconstitutes the dried PCR reagents as it enters the chambers which are located over the Instrumentcontrolled PCR heater. Ultra-rapid PCR is carried out using sequence-specific primers for CT, NG (two separate genomic targets) and the IPC.
Following amplification, the amplified target DNA is transferred from each PCR chamber into two separate detection chambers (four detection chambers in total) which contain a carbonbased screen-printed electrode. When the target is present and amplified, the target-specific probes and amplicon hybridize. The electrochemical labels are cleaved using a double-strand specific exonuclease. The cleaved electrochemical label diffuses to the electrode surface generating an electrical current that can be measured at a distinct voltage in nano Amps (nA) for each electrochemical label used.
The presence of a measurable peak to a fixed cut-off parameter for each target returns a qualitative result without the need for any user interpretation or calculations.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A prospective, multi-center study was carried out to evaluate the performance of the binx io CT/NG Assay with specimens collected at nine investigational sites throughout the U.S.
The Assay was compared to the (i) Hologic Aptima Combo 2 (AC2) Chlamydia/Gonorrhea Assay run on Panther, (ii) BD ProbeTec Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) Q*, and BD ProbeTec Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) Q* assays run on the Viper XTR™, and (iii) Roche cobas CT/NG v2.0 test run on the cobas 4800 System. The three reference tests were used to form a Composite Infected Status (CIS) where a patient was considered if at least two out of the three reference tests were positive and not infected if at least two out of the three reference tests were negative.
Urine samples were prospectively collected from men without symptoms of infection from a variety of clinical venues in the United States. Clinical sites included sexually transmitted disease clinics, family planning clinics and HIV clinics.
Site personnel that carried out testing using the CT/NG Assay were, in the vast majority (94% overall), point-of-care personnel trained in the use of the binx io CT/NG System, but not trained or experienced in general laboratory testing procedures.
There were 1,157 total participants enrolled into the study of which eight were ineligible or withdrew consent and 227 participants were excluded due to deviations to the study protocol.
A total of 922 male urine specimens were fully evaluable. Of the total number of male urine specimens collected, 614 were from asymptomatic participants and 308 were from symptomatic participants.
A total of 120 eligible specimens were classified as infected for CT, of which 60 were symptomatic and 60 were asymptomatic. A total of 802 participants were classified as not infected for CT. of which 248 were symptomatic and 554 were asymptomatic. A total of 74 participants were classified as infected for NG, of which 62 were symptomatic and 12 were asymptomatic. A total of 848 participants were classified as not infected for NG, of which 246 were symptomatic and 602 were asymptomatic.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

§ 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.

Device Description:
The binx health io CT/NG Assay System (the "binx io System", "binx io CT/NG Assay" or "the System") is a rapid qualitative in vitro diagnostic system consisting of the following:
-
- The binx io Instrument for running the Cartridge (the "Instrument")
-
- The binx io CT/NG Cartridge (the "CT/NG Cartridge", "Cartridge" or "Cartridges"), that contains all the necessary reagents to perform the binx io CT/NG Assay (the "Assay") on the binx io Instrument
-
- A single-use, fixed-volume transfer pipet (packaged with the Cartridge) for transferring the sample to the Cartridge
-
- A Male Urine Collection Kit consisting of sample Collection tube containing preservation medium and a transfer pipet (the "Male Urine Collection Kit")
All reagents are contained in the Cartridge as a combination of liquid reagents in blister packs and dried reagents. The Instrument is a small, desk top, fully-integrated instrument that uses air pressure to open and close valves on the binx io CT/NG Cartridge which, in turn, controls the movement of solutions within the Cartridge; the Instrument takes full control of the Cartridges once they are inserted, and no further user interaction is required. The operation of the Instrument is designed to be simple and intuitive; a user follows simple instructions on the graphical user interface (GUI) screen to load the Cartridge onto the Instrument with no further interaction required.
The Male Urine Collection Kit consists of a tube containing a small volume of preservative medium and a Urine Transfer Pipet. To obtain a sample suitable for use on the CT/NG Cartridge, a 20-30 mL first-catch urine sample is collected by a patient in a suitable sterile vessel. The Urine Transfer Pipet provided with the Male Urine Collection Kit is used to transfer a sufficient volume of urine (nominally 4 mL in 2x 2 mL steps) into the collection tube such that the total volume falls between the two indicated lines on the collection tube.
Once a sample has been correctly collected, the required sample volume (0.5 mL) is transferred from the sample collection tube to the Cartridge using the Sample Transfer Pipet provided with the Cartridge. The Cartridge has a visual sample addition indicator window which turns from light to dark to show the user that a sample has been added to the Cartridge.
The Cartridge has three main Assay steps: sample preparation to isolate and purify target DNA; ultra-rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies specific regions of DNA from the target organisms; and a proprietary electrochemical detection method to identify the presence of amplified DNA.
When the specimen is added to the Cartridge, it is automatically mixed with a lysis solution to disrupt the cells present and release DNA which also rehydrates the Internal Process Control (IPC) sample. DNA extraction takes place and the eluted DNA is transferred to a homogenization chamber.
The DNA in solution is transferred into two separate amplification chambers and reconstitutes the dried PCR reagents as it enters the chambers which are located over the Instrumentcontrolled PCR heater. Ultra-rapid PCR is carried out using sequence-specific primers for CT, NG (two separate genomic targets) and the IPC.
Following amplification, the amplified target DNA is transferred from each PCR chamber into two separate detection chambers (four detection chambers in total) which contain a carbonbased screen-printed electrode. When the target is present and amplified, the target-specific
4
probes and amplicon hybridize. The electrochemical labels are cleaved using a double-strand specific exonuclease. The cleaved electrochemical label diffuses to the electrode surface generating an electrical current that can be measured at a distinct voltage in nano Amps (nA) for each electrochemical label used.
The presence of a measurable peak to a fixed cut-off parameter for each target returns a qualitative result without the need for any user interpretation or calculations.
INTERNAL PROCESS CONTROL
The Assay incorporates a positive IPC which is processed along with a patient sample and therefore is exposed to the same testing steps as the sample from DNA extraction and purification through to detection.
The IPC verifies all aspects of the Assay process have functioned as expected. In an Assay where CT and/or NG is not detected, the IPC is measured by the Instrument to ensure it is within an acceptable range to validate a negative result. If it is outside the acceptable range the binx io Instrument will return an "Assay Invalid" message and no result will be displayed or recorded against that specimen. If it is within the acceptable range the "CT Not Detected" and/or "NG Not Detected" result will be displayed and recorded by the Instrument.
ASSAY OUTCOMES
Qualitative results are provided to the user in text format only. Assay results are displayed with the Specimen ID and Assay type. To maintain patient confidentiality, the Patient ID (if one has been entered) will not be displayed on the same screen as the Assay result.
The results shown below are the only results the Instrument will return following completion of a test.
Assay Result | Interpretation of Assay Result |
---|---|
CT Not Detected | Chlamydia trachomatis target DNA was not detected in the patient |
specimen. | |
The IPC passed specification. This is a valid result | |
CT Detected | Chlamydia trachomatis target DNA was detected in the patient |
specimen. | |
This is a valid result. | |
NG Not Detected | At least one of the DNA targets for Neisseria gonorrhoeae was not |
detected in the patient specimen. | |
The IPC passed specification. This is a valid result. | |
NG Detected | Both DNA targets for Neisseria gonorrhoeae were detected in the |
patient specimen. | |
This is a valid result. | |
Assay Invalid | The presence or absence of the DNA targets for Chlamydia |
trachomatis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae could not be ascertained | |
in the patient specimen. | |
If a CT or NG Not Detected result is obtained, the IPC was outside the | |
acceptable range indicating a failure in the Assay process. |

User Aborted | A user cancelled the Assay. No result is given. |
Error | An internal fault occurred that terminated the Assay before it finished. |
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE
Analytical testing was performed to evaluate the performance of the binx io CT/NG Assay using the following studies:
ANALYTICAL SENSITIVITY - LIMIT OF DETECTION
Studies were carried out to determine the analytical limit of detection (LoD) of the binx io CT/NG Assay using cellular CT and NG material, for which the genome equivalents (GE)/mL were quantified. Two cartridge lots were used for each estimate of LoD to enable a lot to lot reproducibility comparison.
At least five separate input concentrations were used to cover a wide range (0.01-99%) of detection rates and each input concentration was tested with at least 20 replicates. A probit regression analysis was used to model the 'CT Detected' rate and identify the concentration level that demonstrated a detection rate of 95%. The LoD was then verified for each CT serovar and each NG strain, using a further total of 40 Cartridges per serovar/strain per Cartridge lot using two further preparations of the claimed LoD generated by two different operators. The LoD for each CT serovar and NG strain was set as the highest value generated from the two reagent lots and of the two tested serovars/strains.
Organism | GE/mL | IFU/mL | CFU/mL |
---|---|---|---|
CT serovar E (ATCC-VR-348B) | 485.3 | 6.6 | N/A |
CT serovar F (ATCC-VR-346) | 769.3 | 0.3 | N/A |
NG strain ATCC 49226 | 125.6 | N/A | 1.1 |
NG strain ATCC 700825 | 212.3 | N/A | 2.5 |
ANALYTICAL REACTIVITY (INCLUSIVITY)
Analytical reactivity of additional CT serovars and NG strains was evaluated in the LoD studies described above.
CT serovars A, B, Ba, C, D, I, J, L2, nvCT were detected at 384.7 GE/mL. Serovars G, H, K, L1, L3 were detected at 769.3 GE/mL in ≥19/20 replicates.
Thirty additional NG strains (including two fluoroquinolone resistant isolates) and the reported detectable level was confirmed by testing three replicates at or near the LoD. Sixteen strains were detected at 212.3 GE/mL in three out of three replicates. Thirteen strains were detected at 1,061.0 GE/mL in ≥19/20 replicates. The remaining strain (NG California 201304 #1) was detected in 17/20 replicates and was therefore subjected to a Probit LoD study which yielded an LoD of 553.38 GE/mL, confirmed by a verification study (40/40 replicates detected).

ANALYTICAL REACTIVITY (EXCLUSIVITY)
A panel of 62 species was investigated for cross-reactivity. A panel of microorganisms and H. sapiens were assessed using cultured organisms at a concentration of 1 x 10º CFU/mL for bacteria or 1 x 10 PFU/mL for viruses, or at a concentration of 2 ng/mL of genomic DNA generated by reverse transcription as available. Two further species were evaluated in silico by bioinformatic analysis of the genetic targets used in the binx health io CT/NG Assay against the published genome sequences for these organisms. In silico analysis concluded that neither of these organisms would be detected by the Assay.
All isolates were reported as CT Not Detected/NG Not Detected with the exception of Corynebacterium xerosis which gave a single NG positive result and Herpes Simplex virus 2 which gave a single CT positive result from 20 replicates in male urine and may therefore be cross-reactive with the NG and CT analytes, respectively.

ANALYTICAL SPECIFICITY - INTERFERENCE
The analytical performance of the io CT/NG Assay was evaluated in the presence of a panel of potentially interfering substances that may be found in male urine specimens. The substances were diluted to the concentrations shown in the table below and spiked into negative pooled male urine matrix. The substances were tested in the absence of CT and NG (negative) and at 2x LoD of both CT serovar F (ATCC VR-346) and NG strain ATCC 49226. No interference was observed with the exception of one substance, leukocytes, which produced one false negative result for Neisseria gonorrhoeae out of 20 replicates tested.

PRECISION - REPRODUCIBILITY
CT and NG organisms were seeded into male urine matrix at concentrations representing low positive (1x LoD), moderate positive (3x LoD) and high positive (4.15 x 10°GE/mL CT or 8.4 x 10° GE/mL NG) samples. Negative (non-seeded) pooled male urine samples were also included. The resulting panel of 11 pooled male urine samples were tested three times per day for five consecutive days by two operators at three sites (11 specimens x 3 replicates x 5 days x 3 sites x 2 operators). io CT/NG Assays were performed according to the Assay procedure. The rate of agreement for male urine matrix samples with expected CT and NG results for each panel member is shown below:

SAMPLE STORAGE AND STABILITY
Specimen stability studies were carried out to determine the length of time samples can be stored prior to testing on the binx io CT/NG Assay.
Six batches of collection kits were tested: three that were within expiry and three batches that were expired (12 months (expiry date) +32 days). Of the three batches that were expired, each were stored at 4°C and at 30°C.
The overall agreement for both positive and negative samples was 100% after storage for 25 hours at 25°C or 8 days at 2-8°C irrespective of whether the collection kits were within expiry date or past the expiry of 12 months and had been stored within the labeled temperature or at 4°C or 30°C. The study indicated that male urine samples are stable for up to 24 hours at 25°C and 7 days at 2-8°C prior to testing with the Assay.
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
A study was carried out to verify the performance of Instruments and Cartridges when run beyond the extremes of typical ambient temperatures and at high and low levels of relative humidity. Performance of the binx io Instruments was evaluated by placing the Instruments in validated and monitored environmental chambers held at a range of temperatures and humidity levels that were outside the typical normal Instrument operating range.

Summary of operational environment testing
Open pack stability
A study was carried out to verify the performance of the Instrument and Cartridge when subjected to a range of temperature and humidity levels.
10
The study was carried out using CT/NG Cartridges tested with 4x LoD for CT serovar F (ATCC-VR-346) and NG strain ATCC 49226 spiked into eNAT buffer. Cartridges were removed from their packaging and CT and NG spiked into eNAT buffer (positives) or eNAT buffer (negatives) were added. Cartridges were placed in a controlled and monitored incubator for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours at +30°C. In addition, a set of Cartridges were loaded with a sample and incubated for six hours at +30°C at low (≤20% Relative Humidity (RH)) and high humidity (≥60% RH) using a monitored environmental chamber.
All samples gave the expected results and verified that the CT/NG Assay generates the correct results when a sample is loaded into a Cartridge and stored at 30°C in both high and low humidity conditions following up to six hours storage.
Cartridge performance when run immediately from 2-8°C storage
A study was carried out using Cartridges that had been stored at 2-8°C for a minimum of 12 hours using samples that had either been stored at room temperature or stored refrigerated at 2-8°C for a minimum of 12 hours. All replicates generated correct results.
Shipping stability
The performance of the Assay was assessed following simulated shipping conditions in order to demonstrate performance after undergoing two temporary storage and shipping cycles. This study was carried out using eNAT samples spiked with 4x LoD for positives, or eNAT buffer for negatives. All samples tested generated correct results.
ISTA 3A testing
An ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) 3A study was carried out by an accredited test site followed by subsequent inspection and test performance. The study used a total of 50 Cartridges within a shipper of five cartons containing 10 CT/NG Cartridges each. No damage was observed to the packaging or Cartridges and all Cartridges tested with 4x LoD CT/NG spiked into eNAT buffer for positives and eNAT buffer for negatives generated correct results.
Cross contamination
A study was conducted to demonstrate that the CT/NG Cartridge prevents run-to-run cross contamination when negative samples containing pooled vaginal matrix were run following very high CT/NG double positive samples (containing 2.26 x 10° GE/mL CT and 1.18 x 10′ GE/mL NG). The study consisted of four separate Instruments, with 50 Cartridges run per Instrument, alternating between negative samples and very high CT/NG double positive samples (200 Cartridges run across all Instruments, comprising 100 negative and 100 very high positive). All negative samples were correctly detected as CT, NG Not Detected and all positive samples were correctly identified as CT, NG Detected.
Internal Control Function
A study was carried out to demonstrate the IPC function. The objective was to demonstrate that a Cartridge lacking internal control DNA would report an Assay Invalid result. A panel of conditions was tested including Cartridge manufactured specifically with no IPC present. All samples tested generated the expected results including the Cartridges with no IPC which delivered the expected Assay Invalid result.
All experiments carried out to evaluate analytical performance met established acceptance criteria.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE
A prospective, multi-center study was carried out to evaluate the performance of the binx io CT/NG Assay with specimens collected at nine investigational sites throughout the U.S. The Assay was compared to the (i) Hologic Aptima Combo 2 (AC2) Chlamydia/Gonorrhea Assay run on Panther, (ii) BD ProbeTec Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) Q*, and BD ProbeTec Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) Q* assays run on the Viper XTR™, and (iii) Roche cobas CT/NG v2.0 test run on the cobas 4800 System. The three reference tests were used to form a Composite Infected Status (CIS) where a patient was considered if at least two out of the three reference tests were positive and not infected if at least two out of the three reference tests were negative.
Urine samples were prospectively collected from men without symptoms of infection from a variety of clinical venues in the United States. Clinical sites included sexually transmitted disease clinics, family planning clinics and HIV clinics.
Site personnel that carried out testing using the CT/NG Assay were, in the vast majority (94% overall), point-of-care personnel trained in the use of the binx io CT/NG System, but not trained or experienced in general laboratory testing procedures.
There were 1,157 total participants enrolled into the study of which eight were ineligible or withdrew consent and 227 participants were excluded due to deviations to the study protocol.
A total of 922 male urine specimens were fully evaluable. Of the total number of male urine specimens collected, 614 were from asymptomatic participants and 308 were from symptomatic participants.
A total of 120 eligible specimens were classified as infected for CT, of which 60 were symptomatic and 60 were asymptomatic. A total of 802 participants were classified as not infected for CT. of which 248 were symptomatic and 554 were asymptomatic. A total of 74 participants were classified as infected for NG, of which 62 were symptomatic and 12 were asymptomatic. A total of 848 participants were classified as not infected for NG, of which 246 were symptomatic and 602 were asymptomatic.
The median age of participants was 28, ranging from 17 to 76 years.
Positivity rates for the binx io CT/NG assay observed in the clinical study spanned a range across clinical sites from 0.0%-24.7% (average 12.7%) for chlamydia and 0.0%-22.2% (average 7.8%) for gonorrhea.

Rate of Invalid Results
In cases where the Assay returned a Test Invalid result, the patient specimen was retested. The result of the retest was used in the analysis. A Test Invalid result was reported in 15 of the 937 cartridges tested (1.6%) in this study. If three successive assays returned a Test Invalid result on a single specimen this was recorded as indeterminate. Of the 922 specimens for which a CIS could be determined, none of the specimens generated a final indeterminate result.
Positive and Neqative Predictive Values
The sensitivity and specificity of the binx health io CT/NG Assay when used with male urine, was used to calculate the hypothetical positive predictive values (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) at a range of hypothetical prevalence rates.
