Intended Use
The Non-variola Orthopoxvirus Real-ime PCR Primer and Probe Set is intended for the in vitro qualitative presumptive detection of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA extracted from human pustular rash specimens and viral cell culture lysates submitted to a Laboratory Response Network (LRN) reference laboratory. The assay detects non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA, including vaccinia, cowpox, monkeypox and ectromelia viruses at varying concentrations. This assay does not differentiate vaccinia virus or monkeypox virus from other orthopoxviruses detected by this assay and does not detect variola virus. Refer to the CDC algorithm, Acute, Generalized Vesicular or Pustular Rash IIIness Testing Protocol in the United States for recommended testing and evaluation algorithms for patients presenting with acute, generalized pustular or vesicular rash illness. Results of this assay are for the identification of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA. These results must be used in conjunction with other diagnostic assays and clinical observations to diagnose Orthopoxvirus infection. The assay should only be used to test specimens with low/moderate risk of smallpox exists, viral culture should not be attempted. Negative results obtained with this device do not prection virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Use is limited to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designated laboratories.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a PCR-based assay for detecting viral DNA, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
Explanation: This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test intended for the qualitative presumptive detection of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA. It is used to identify a pathogen rather than to directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes
The intended use states that the device is for "in vitro qualitative presumptive detection of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA" and that "Results of this assay are for the identification of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA." It further specifies that "These results must be used in conjunction with other diagnostic assays and clinical observations to diagnose Orthopoxvirus infection." These phrases clearly indicate its role in diagnosis.

No

The device is a primer and probe set for a PCR assay, which are chemical reagents and not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for the in vitro qualitative presumptive detection of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA. "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
  • Specimen Type: The assay is performed on human specimens (pustular rash specimens and viral cell culture lysates), which are typical inputs for IVD tests.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to detect a specific analyte (non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA) to aid in the diagnosis of Orthopoxvirus infection. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

The other sections of the document further support this classification by describing a laboratory-based test performed on biological samples.

Background

Variola virus, a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, is the causative agent of smallpox and was certified eradicated in 1980 by the World Health Organization. At that time, smallpox vaccinations were ceased worldwide as a result. However, in recent years, concerns over the potential use of Variola virus as a biological weapon led the United States to resume smallpox vaccinations on a limited basis. Since the smallpox vaccine contains live Vaccinia virus, it is possible for vaccine recipients and/or their close contacts to develop adverse reactions to the vaccine including the emergence of pustules on the skin.

The Laboratory Response Network (LRN) is part of a national bioterrorism preparedness initiative created to ensure an effective laboratory response to biological threats by helping to improve the nation's public health laboratory infrastructure. Member laboratories must meet specific membership requirements and pass rigorous proficiency tests demonstrating their ability to accurately identify agents of concern. One of the major goals is the development and validation of rapid and specific assays for detection of

biothreat agents and emerging infectious diseases. Accordingly, scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed several realtime PCR based assays to detect non-variola Orthopoxvirus and other potential biothreat agents in an effort to meet the need for rapid detection.

The Non-variola Orthopoxvirus Real-time PCR Primer and Probe Set was developed for use in conjunction with clinical observations and other tests as described in the CDC algorithm, Acute, Generalized Vesicular or Pustular Rash Illness Testing Protocol in the United States. The assay is designed to aid in the identification of the causative aqent of a pustular or vesicular rash illness and to help rule out the presence of Variola virus in patients presenting with pustular rash illness.

This assay detects most commonly known human pathogenic Orthopoxyiruses (e.q., Vaccinia, Cowpox, and Monkeypox viruses) but does not detect Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. Vaccinia virus infection in the United States usually occurs in conjunction with smallpox vaccination or contact with a smallpox vaccine recipient. Monkeypox and Cowpox viruses are endemic to locations outside the United States, with the exception of the 2003 monkeypox outbreak associated with prairie dogs, which became infected due to imported African rodents.

As of June 21, 2022, LRN laboratories and the CDC have detected 141 (82 confirmed monkevpox virus. 59 confirmed orthopoxvirus) across 21 jurisdictions and 1 out of country resident. One additional case in Florida was diagnosed in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and is counted among U.K. cases. As case counts continue to rise in the United States and in 40 other countries where monkeypox is not endemic, there is an urgent need to prepare for larger scale diagnostic testing for orthopoxviruses. The use of the Non-variola Orthopoxvirus Real-time PCR Primer and Probe Set in CDC designated laboratories has introduced the need for product labeling that removes the LRN logo and LRN specific language. The following table outlines the similarities and differences between the two devices.

Intended Use

The Non-variola Orthopoxvirus Real-time PCR Primer and Probe Set is intended for the in vitro qualitative presumptive detection of non-variola Orthopoxvirus DNA extracted from human pustular or vesicular rash specimens and viral cell culture lysates submitted to a Laboratory Response Network (LRN) reference laboratory.
