Explanation: The device is a collection and transport system for clinical samples and is intended to be used with "standard diagnostic identification techniques." It does not perform the diagnostic identification itself.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including polypropylene tubes, polyethylene screw caps, paper racks, polystyrene swab shafts, and flocked nylon fiber swab tips, all of which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, the Ensol EnTM Collection and Transport System is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the system is for the "collection of clinical samples containing upper respiratory viruses... to be used with standard diagnostic identification techniques". This clearly indicates its role in the diagnostic process, specifically in preparing samples for laboratory testing.
- Device Description: The description details a system for collecting and transporting biological samples (clinical samples containing viruses) for subsequent analysis.
- Performance Studies: The document includes a "Culture-Based Viral Recovery Study" which evaluates the performance of the transport medium in maintaining the viability of viruses for diagnostic testing. This type of study is typical for IVD devices that handle biological samples for analysis.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with K numbers (K042970; Copan Universal Transport Medium (UTM-RT) System) strongly suggests that this device is being compared to other legally marketed IVD devices.
Therefore, the Ensol EnTM Collection and Transport System fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device as it is intended for use in the collection and transport of clinical specimens for the purpose of diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Culture-Based Viral Recovery Study:
Performance of the EnTM Collection and Transport System media was evaluated for virus viability at refrigerated temperatures (4 °C). Three lots of VTM with newly manufactured, middle-aged lot and close to expiry lots were used to evaluate viral recovery (ENTM-2001, ENTM-22003. and ENTM-23001). Influenza A (California/07/2009 H1N1, NCCP 42467). Human coronavirus 229E (Zeptometrix 0810229CF), and Human respiratory syncytial virus type A (type A strain Long, ATCC VR-26) were used for the viral recovery study. Each virus was diluted in pooled negative nasopharyngeal matrix transferred to the collection swab and then added to the Viral Transport Media. Aliquots of each replicate were stored at 4°C for 0, 24, and 48 hours. Host cells (MDCK for Influenza A, MRC-5 for Human coronavirus, and HEp-2 for Human respiratory syncytial virus type A) were plated for 1 day. At each timepoint the viral samples from EnTM were serially diluted and inoculated onto the host cell-line and cultured in a 96 well plate. The plates were incubated at 37°C and viral CPE was observed after 4-5 days. Viral titer was determined by the Reed-Muench method calculation of TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose).
Results were considered acceptable if the average viral titer demonstrates any percent changes within ±90% (i.e.,1 log change).
EnTM Collection and Transport System media demonstrated the recovery of viruses at 4°C storage when evaluated for 48 hrs. in all replicates of tested viral strains (Influenza A, Human Coronavirus 229E, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus). All the results support specimen transport for up to 48 hours when stored at 4°C.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
Viral titer (TCID50/mL) and Percent Changes (0 to 24 hrs., 0 to 48 hrs.).
Influenza A: Percent Changes range from -81.84% to -59.53% (0 to 24 hrs.) and -81.89% to -52.53% (0 to 48 hrs.).
Human Coronavirus 229E: Percent Changes range from -5.69% to 22.25% (0 to 24 hrs.) and -58.41% to 5.58% (0 to 48 hrs.).
Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Percent Changes range from -64.99% to -27.73% (0 to 24 hrs.) and -45.26% to -7.66% (0 to 48 hrs.).

Shelf-life stability:
The shelf life for the EnTM Collection and Transport System was determined to be 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored at a temperature of 25℃. The shelf life of the EnTM Collection and Transport Medium was evaluated using real-time aging performance test.
Physical Stability: Physical stability was evaluated by Appearance, UV spectrum analysis (Scan: absorbance at 250-800 nm), and pH measurement at time points T = 0, 6, and 12 months using three lots stored at 25℃ and higher. The appearance was evaluated by inspecting visually to examine for a red and clear solution. Appearance results were acceptable. To detect any physical changes in the media, UV Spectrum analysis was conducted by setting the wavelength range to 250-800 nm (scan). The UV spectrum scanning analysis for 250-800 nm produced similar results for all lots at all storage times. Absorbance at 290 nm was also measured for any physical changes and results showed no
7
changes and produced similar results for all lots at all storage times. For pH measurement study, all the transport media demonstrated pH level within 7.4±1 for all lots at all storage times.
Sterility test: The EnTM Collection and Transport System is not claimed to be sterile nor is it intended to be sterilized by the end user. To reduce the contamination, the screw-cap tube is sterilized by irradiation with a maximum dose of 40 kGv using the E-beam irradiation process. A check for possible contamination was conducted by transferring transport media to growth medium Thioglycolate and incubated at 35 ℃ for 3 days, and in Tryptic Soy Broth at 25℃ for 5 days and examined for growth turbidity. No bacterial or fungal proliferation was detected at either condition tested.
Culture-Based Viral Recovery Study:
Performance of the EnTM Collection and Transport System media was evaluated for virus viability at refrigerated temperatures (4 °C). Three lots of VTM with newly manufactured, middle-aged lot and close to expiry lots were used to evaluate viral recovery (ENTM-2001, ENTM-22003. and ENTM-23001). Influenza A (California/07/2009 H1N1, NCCP 42467). Human coronavirus 229E (Zeptometrix 0810229CF), and Human respiratory syncytial virus type A (type A strain Long, ATCC VR-26) were used for the viral recovery study. Each virus was diluted in pooled negative nasopharyngeal matrix transferred to the collection swab and then added to the Viral Transport Media. Aliquots of each replicate were stored at 4°C for 0, 24, and 48 hours. Host cells (MDCK for Influenza A, MRC-5 for Human coronavirus, and HEp-2 for Human respiratory syncytial virus type A) were plated for 1 day. At each timepoint the viral samples from EnTM were serially diluted and inoculated onto the host cell-line and cultured in a 96 well plate. The plates were incubated at 37°C and viral CPE was observed after 4-5 days. Viral titer was determined by the Reed-Muench method calculation of TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose).
Results were considered acceptable if the average viral titer demonstrates any percent changes within ±90% (i.e.,1 log change). The results are presented in the Table 1. Any changes in the viral titer in the timepoints was shown as percent changes and negative percent change indicates reduction.
