The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in genomic DNA isolated from human saliva collected from individuals ≥18 years with the Oragene Dx model OGD500.001 for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks, including the 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants).
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is indicated for the reporting of the following 44 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
BRCA1: c.68 69del, c.213-11T>G, c.427G>T, c.815 824dup, c.1556del, c.1687C>T, c.1961del, c.2681 2682del, c.2864C>A, c.3481 3491del, c.3598C>T, c.3627dup, c.3756 3759del, c.3770 3771del, c.4035del, c.4065 4068del.c.4327C>T.c.4357+1G>A.c.4964 4982del.c.4986+6T>G.c.5123C>A.c.5177 5180del.c.5266dup
BRCA2: c.658 659del, c.771 775del, c.2808 2811del, c.2957 2958insG, c.3170 3174del, c.3264dup, c.3545 3546del, c.3847 3848del, c.4471 4474del, c.5542del, c.5576 5579del, c.5682C>G, c.5946del, c.6037A>T, c.6275 6276del, c.7024C>T, c.7480C>T, c.7934del, c.8904del
The report describes if a person's genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. The test report does not describe a person's overall risk of developing any type of cancer, and the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other variants that may be cancer-related. This report is for over-the-counter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments.
Customer saliva specimens are self-collected using the Oragene-Dx® Device manufactured by DNA Genotek, Inc. cleared by FDA for use with the PGS device under K141410, which consists of a sealable collection tube containing a stabilizing buffer solution. Once the sample is collected, it is shipped to one of two Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories for testing.
DNA is isolated from the saliva and tested in a multiplex assay using a customized genotyping beadchip, reagents and instrumentation manufactured by Illumina.
The raw data is generated using Illumina GenomeStudio software, and then sent to 23andMe for analysis and interpretation. The raw data received is analyzed using 23andMe's proprietary Coregen software, where a genotype is determined for each tested SNP. The results for certain of these SNPs are used to generate personalized reports for the customer that provide information about the detected genotype.
Personalized reports are generated for each user that provide results of the testing performed. These reports tell the user which genetic health risk variant(s) have been detected in their sample and provide information about the disease associated with the variant(s). If no variant was detected, that information is also provided. The personalized reports are designed to present scientific concepts to users in an easy-to-understand format. The reports provide scientifically and clinically valid information about the risks associated with the presence of a particular variant. The reports are designed to help users understand the meaning of their results and any appropriate actions that may be taken based on their results.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary for the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants):
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| CATEGORY | ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA | REPORTED DEVICE PERFORMANCE |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy (Method Comparison) | - Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) ≥ 99% for each SNP (variant) compared to bidirectional Sanger sequencing. - Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) ≥ 99% for each SNP (variant) compared to bidirectional Sanger sequencing. | - Achieved: Greater than 99% agreement for both PPA and NPA across all 41 tested variants. The study concluded that the 23andMe assay is comparable to bidirectional Sanger sequencing. |
| Precision (Reproducibility) | - Minimum of 99% correct genotype calls at each of two laboratory sites. | - Achieved: 100% correct genotype calls for all samples across multiple days, operator teams, instruments, and reagent lots at 2 independent laboratory sites. - Greater than 99% reproducibility and greater than 99% repeatability. |
| Minimum DNA Input (Sensitivity) | - At least 95% of samples yielding the correct call at the minimum DNA concentration. | - Achieved: 100% correct genotype calls for all samples and reagent lots tested at DNA concentrations of 5, 15, and 50 ng/µL. - Valid for samples with a DNA concentration range of 5 ng/µL to 50 ng/µL (well within the SOP requirement of 15 ng/µL to 50 ng/µL). |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The exact number of individual samples used for the "Method Comparison" (Accuracy), "Precision" (Reproducibility), and "Minimum DNA Input" studies is not explicitly stated as a numerical count. However, the document mentions that samples were "randomly selected from the 23andMe customer database" and that "all 41 variants were included in this study" for each of these performance tests.
- Data Provenance: The document states that samples were identified from the "23andMe customer database." This implies real-world, likely retrospective, data from individuals who have used 23andMe's services. The country of origin is not explicitly stated for individual samples, but 23andMe is a US-based company, suggesting the data is primarily from the US.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- This device is a genetic test, and the ground truth for performance testing (accuracy) was established by bidirectional Sanger sequencing, which is a widely accepted and highly accurate method for DNA sequencing.
- The document does not mention the use of human experts (e.g., radiologists) in establishing the ground truth for the analytical validity studies. The "truth" in this context is the confirmed genetic sequence obtained through an orthogonal, highly accurate laboratory method (Sanger sequencing), not human interpretation of images or clinical outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments. Since the performance studies for this genetic test rely on objective laboratory methods (genotyping by the device vs. Sanger sequencing as ground truth), no human adjudication method was needed or applied for the analytical performance tests. The comparison was directly between the device's genotype call and the Sanger sequencing result.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are relevant for imaging devices or other medical technologies where human readers interpret output, and the goal is to assess how a device affects human performance. This is a direct-to-consumer genetic test (an in vitro diagnostic device) that directly provides genotype information, not an interpretation aid for human experts. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable here.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
- Yes, standalone performance was done for the analytical validation. The performance criteria (PPA, NPA, correct genotype calls) were measured for the 23andMe PGS assay (the "algorithm only" in this context of a genetic test) against the ground truth established by Sanger sequencing. The results presented in the acceptance criteria table (e.g., ">99% agreement," "100% correct calls") represent the standalone performance of the device. There isn't a "human-in-the-loop" aspect to the genotyping process itself; the device generates the genotype call automatically.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- The ground truth used for the analytical validation test set was bidirectional Sanger sequencing, considered the gold standard for confirming specific DNA sequences and variants.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. This is typical for in vitro diagnostic devices like genetic tests where the underlying technology (genotyping method) is well-established. The performance is primarily evaluated through robust analytical validation on a test set, rather than machine learning model training. The device leverages a "customized genotyping beadchip" and "proprietary Coregen software," indicating a deterministic or rule-based approach for genotype calling, or a machine learning model that was developed and validated internally but whose training set details are not part of this 510(k) summary.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Given that the document does not explicitly mention a training set or machine learning model development in the traditional sense, it does not describe how ground truth for a training set was established. For molecular genetic tests, the principles of operation are typically based on molecular biology and chemistry, with performance validated through analytical studies against highly accurate reference methods like Sanger sequencing, rather than training on labeled datasets. If machine learning is involved in the "Coregen software" for genotype determination, the ground truth for any such training would logically have been established through a similar process of comparing assay results to known, validated reference genotypes (e.g., from Sanger sequencing or other established methods).

The report describes if a person's genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. The test report does not describe a person's overall risk of developing any type of cancer, and the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other variants that may be cancer-related. This report is for over-thecounter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments.
5.4. SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT PREDICATE DEVICE
{8}------------------------------------------------
The components of the PGS are unchanged from the De Novo authorization for the predicate device, the PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) (DEN170046). These components include the saliva collection kit, reagents, beadchip, instrumentation, software, test processes and procedures.
The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) submission is to modify the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) to include 41 additional BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants to the existing authorized BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report (DEN170046) and to establish a Pre-Determined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for adding additional BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants and associated cancer risk information to the report.
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is similar to the predicate, having similar indications for use, the same intended use, and the same technological characteristics as its predicate device, with the exception of the implementation of a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) that specifies the protocols and acceptance criteria for making modifications to the reportable BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in a controlled manner such that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Specific test methods for clinical and analytical validation are specified in the PCCP to establish substantial equivalence relative to DEN170046, and include sample size determination, analysis methods, and acceptance criteria. The Sponsor will perform testing of the additional BRCA1/2 variants according to the specified protocols, and if the validation data meet the specified acceptance criteria, they may add those variants to the BRCA1/2 report without additional premarket review.
The PCCP is limited to the addition of single nucleotide variants and small insertions and deletions (≤20 bp) in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The plan describes the specific clinical validation criteria that must be met to demonstrate that the new BRCA1/2 variants are high-risk, highly penetrant BRCA1/2 variants (i.e., those that are demonstrated to be linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome). Specific analytical validation protocols and acceptance criteria are also detailed in the plan to ensure that the device maintains the following performance characteristics for each new BRCA1/2 variant:
- Accuracy point estimates of ≥99% positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative . percent agreement (NPA), established by comparing the results of the 23andMe to bidirectional Sanger sequencing
- . ≥99% correct genotype calls assigned at each of two laboratory sites
- . ≥95% of samples vielding the correct genotype call at the minimum DNA input tested
{9}------------------------------------------------
Additionally, software verification and validation activities are detailed in the PCCP and all must be completed successfully to modify the report to add the new BRCA1/2 variants. The plan specifies change control for genotype calling definitions and labeling updates to ensure the device remains as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Customers who previously opted-in to receive their BRCA1/2 report will receive an email notification informing them that the report has been updated. Customers will have access to their updated report unless they exercise their option to opt-out.
The PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report is intended for over-the-counter, direct-to consumer use without prescription or physician order. As with the predicate device, the proposed modifications to the labeling of the BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report conform to submission requirements, and special controls of the original authorization (DEN170046). Before viewing the proposed modified labeling, customers must view an updated version of the BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) education module that reflects the additional 41 variants, and customers with positive results are strongly advised to share their results with their healthcare provider. As instructed in the predicate device authorization DEN170046, the same healthcare provider limitations are included in the package insert:
- . This test is not intended to diagnose a disease, determine medical treatment or other medical intervention, or tell the user anything about their current state of health.
- This test is intended to provide users with their genetic information, which may inform health-related lifestyle decisions and conversations with their doctor or other healthcare professional.
- · Any diagnostic or treatment decisions must be based on confirmatory prescription testing and/or other information that you determine to be appropriate for your patient, such as additional clinical testing and other risk factors that may affect individual risk and health care.
The Package Insert has been revised to incorporate information pursuant to the special controls agreed upon during DEN170046 - in particular, the addition of clinical and analytical validation information in support of the proposed additional 41 BRCA1/BRCA2 variants introduced in the modified BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report. Additionally, the Package Insert has been revised to provide a link to consumers to find a genetic counselor in the area in which they live. These revisions are consistent with the product classification under 21 CFR §866.6090. The proposed modifications are based on the additional test system performance data, developed according to the well
{10}------------------------------------------------
established study protocols and acceptance criteria for 23andMe PGS cancer predisposition risk reports and submitted in this Traditional 510(k).
This submission proposes the same intended use for the Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants), does not introduce new risks to safety and effectiveness, and is supported by performance data collected for this purpose. As such, the proposed modifications to the labeling of the 23andMe Personal Genome Service Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device authorized under DEN170046.
5.5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Customer saliva specimens are self-collected using the Oragene-Dx® Device manufactured by DNA Genotek, Inc. cleared by FDA for use with the PGS device under K141410, which consists of a sealable collection tube containing a stabilizing buffer solution. Once the sample is collected, it is shipped to one of two Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratories for testing.
DNA is isolated from the saliva and tested in a multiplex assay using a customized genotyping beadchip, reagents and instrumentation manufactured by Illumina.
The raw data is generated using Illumina GenomeStudio software, and then sent to 23andMe for analysis and interpretation. The raw data received is analyzed using 23andMe's proprietary Coregen software, where a genotype is determined for each tested SNP. The results for certain of these SNPs are used to generate personalized reports for the customer that provide information about the detected genotype.
Personalized reports are generated for each user that provide results of the testing performed. These reports tell the user which genetic health risk variant(s) have been detected in their sample and provide information about the disease associated with the variant(s). If no variant was detected, that information is also provided. The personalized reports are designed to present scientific concepts to users in an easy-to-understand format. The reports provide scientifically and clinically valid information about the risks associated with the presence of a particular variant. The reports are designed to help users understand the meaning of their results and any appropriate actions that may be taken based on their results.
Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. of the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report are not applicable to this device.

Genotyping principle: The DNA is fragmented and captured on a bead array by hybridization to immobilized SNP-specific primers, followed by extension with haptenlabeled nucleotides. The primers hybridize adjacent to the SNPs and are extended with a single nucleotide corresponding to the SNP allele. The incorporated hapten-modified nucleotides are detected by adding fluorescently labeled antibodies in several steps to amplify the signals. Data analysis is performed using scatter plots.
Instrument: Illumina iScan and GenomeStudio system.
Assay results: The genotype content is separated, analyzed, and then integrated into pre-defined report templates specific for each condition associated with each genotype.

5.7. PERFORMANCE TESTING SUMMARY
5.7.1 Method Comparison (Accuracy)
23andMe performed a method comparison study to assess the accuracy of the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) test for the additional 41 variants to be added to the existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report. All 41 variants were included in this study.
The purpose of the study was to show equivalent genotype assignment between the 23andMe PGS assay and bidirectional Sanger sequencing. Samples were randomly selected from the 23andMe customer database based on their putative genotype. Genotyping of these samples was performed at a CLIA certified contract laboratory. All chosen samples were then tested using bidirectional Sanger sequencing. Genotyping results were compared between the 23andMe PGS assay and sequencing to calculate
{14}------------------------------------------------
positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA), with the sequencing results considered to be "truth". The passing criteria were greater than 99% PPA and greater than 99% NPA for each SNP.
This method comparison study vielded greater than 99% agreement. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria of greater than 99% PPA and greater than 99% NPA. The method comparison study showed that the 23andMe assay is comparable to bidirectional Sanger sequencing.
5.7.2 Precision (Reproducibility)
23andMe performed a precision study to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) test for the additional 41 variants to be added to the existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report. All 41 variants were included in this study.
This study evaluated intra-assay, inter-lot, inter-instrument, inter-operator, inter-day, and inter-lab precision. Samples were identified from the 23andMe customer database based on their putative genotype and genotyped by the assay in a blinded fashion, with 3 lots of reagents, by multiple operator teams per day, using 3 different serial numbers of each of 2 instruments, over 3 days, at each of 2 laboratory sites. Genotype results were confirmed using bidirectional Sanger sequencing. The passing criteria were a minimum of 99% correct genotype calls at each of two laboratory sites.
This precision study yielded 100% correct genotype calls for all samples across multiple days, operator teams, instruments, and reagent lots at 2 independent laboratory sites. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria of at least 99% correct calls. In addition, the study had greater than 99% reproducibility and greater than 99% repeatability.
5.7.3 Minimum DNA Input (MDI)
23andMe performed a minimum DNA input study to assess the sensitivity of the 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) test for the additional 41 variants to be added to the existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report. All 41 variants were included in this study.
Samples were identified from the 23andMe customer database based on their putative genotype. Each sample was diluted to 3 different concentrations and genotyped by the assay in a blinded fashion using 3 lots of reagents. Genotype results were confirmed using bidirectional Sanger sequencing. The minimum DNA requirement was defined as the lowest concentration at which at least 95% of samples yield the correct call.
{15}------------------------------------------------
This minimum DNA input study yielded 100% correct genotype calls for all samples and reagent lots tested at sample DNA concentrations of 5, 15, and 50 ng/μL. Therefore, the study passed the acceptance criteria at a sample DNA concentration of 5 ng/μL. The performance requirement, specified by contract laboratory SOPs, is conservatively set at a minimum of 15 ng/μL and a maximum of 50 ng/μL. This minimum DNA input study demonstrated that the 23andMe assay is valid for samples with a DNA concentration range of 5 ng/μL to 50 nq/μL.
5.7.4 Shelf life
The PGS requires the use of the same FDA-cleared collection device and reagents that have been previously reviewed and authorized in K141410 and DEN140044.
{16}------------------------------------------------
5.8. CLINICAL PERFORMANCE
The variants included in the modified BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report account for more than 90% of cancer-related BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants among people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent; about 30-40% among African Americans, people of European descent, and people of Hispanic or Latino descent; about 5-25% among people of East Asian Descent; and up to 35% among people of South Asian descent1. The pathogenicity of each variant is supported by multiple peer-reviewed studies and, in many cases, by the classification determination of an expert panel (ENIGMA²). In addition, most pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants are truncating; for those that are not, we rely on strong functional evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function.

5.9. DISCUSSION
This Traditional 510(k) submission for the addition of 41 variants to the existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report provides analytical and clinical data demonstrating that the PGS Test generates an accurate result, and uses the same report concepts that have been previously validated by comprehensive user comprehension testing.
This submission included a predetermined change control plan (PCCP) that was reviewed and authorized by FDA for adding additional validated BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants and associated cancer risk information to the 23andMe PGS® Cancer Predisposition Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) without additional pre-market review. The PCCP outlined the specific protocols and acceptance criteria that 23andMe intends to use to clinically and analytically validate eligible BRCA1/2 variants.
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Genetic Health Risk report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is not technologically different, with the exception of the implementation of a PCCP, nor does it introduce any new concerns of safety or effectiveness when compared to the previously authorized predicate device (DEN170046).
5.10. CONCLUSION
The 23andMe Personal Genome Service (PGS) Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants), has similar indications for use, the same intended use, and the same principles of operation as its predicate device, DEN170046. The technological characteristics are identical with the exception of the implementation of a PCCP, and this difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent.
§ 866.6090 Cancer predisposition risk assessment system.
(a)
Identification. A cancer predisposition risk assessment system is a qualitative in vitro molecular diagnostic system used for determining predisposition for cancer where the result of the test may lead to prophylactic screening, confirmatory procedures, or treatments that may incur morbidity or mortality to the patient. The test could help to inform conversations with a healthcare professional. This assessment system is for over-the-counter use. This device does not determine the person's overall risk of developing any types of cancer. This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The labeling required under § 809.10 of this chapter and any pre-purchase page and test report generated, unless otherwise specified, must include:
(i) An intended use that specifies in the indications for use the genetic variants detected by the test. The specific variants must be appropriately validated as described in paragraphs (b)(4)(xii) and (b)(4)(xiii) of this section.
(ii) A section addressed to users with the following information:
(A) A warning statement accurately disclosing the genetic coverage of the test in lay terms, including information on variants not queried by the test, and the proportion of pathogenic variants in the genes that the assay detects in a specific population as identified in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section. The warning statement must indicate that the test [does not/may not, as appropriate] detect all genetic variants related to the genetic disease, and that the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may impact cancer risk. The warning statement must also include the relevant population for which the variants reported by the test are most relevant.
(B) A limiting statement explaining that some people may feel anxious about getting genetic test health results. This is normal. If the potential user feels very anxious, such user should speak to his or her doctor or other healthcare professional prior to collection of a sample for testing. This test is not a substitute for visits to a doctor or other healthcare professional. Users should consult with their doctor or other healthcare professional if they have any questions or concerns about the results of their test or their current state of health.
(C) A limiting statement that a user's ethnicity may affect whether the test is relevant for them and may also affect how their genetic health results are interpreted.
(D) A warning statement that the test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional for recommended screenings, and should not be used to determine any treatments or medical interventions.
(E) A warning statement that the test does not diagnose cancer or any other health conditions and should not be used to make medical decisions. The warning statement must indicate that the results should be confirmed in a clinical setting before taking any medical action.
(F) A limiting statement explaining that other companies offering a genetic risk test may be detecting different genetic variants for the same disease, so the user may get different results using a test from a different company.
(G) If applicable, a limiting statement that states the test does not test for variants in other genes linked to hereditary cancer.
(H) A limiting statement explaining that this test does not account for non-genetic factors and that other factors such as environmental and lifestyle risk factors may affect the risk of developing a given disease.
(I) Information to a potential purchaser or actual test report recipient about how to obtain access to a board-certified clinical molecular geneticist or equivalent to assist in pre- and post-test counseling.
(J) A limiting statement explaining that this test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much of a medication you should take.
(K) A limiting statement explaining that the laboratory may not be able to process a sample, and a description of the next steps to be taken by the manufacturer and/or the customer, as applicable.
(iii) A section in the labeling required under § 809.10 of this chapter and any test report generated that is for healthcare professionals who may receive the test results from their patients with the following information:
(A) A limiting statement explaining that this test is not intended to diagnose a disease, determine medical treatment or other medical intervention, or tell the user anything about their current state of health.
(B) A limiting statement explaining that this test is intended to provide users with their genetic information to inform health-related lifestyle decisions and conversations with their doctor or other healthcare professional.
(C) A limiting statement explaining that any diagnostic or treatment decisions should be based on confirmatory prescription testing and/or other information that is determined to be appropriate for the patient (
e.g., additional clinical testing and other risk factors that may affect individual risk and health care).(2) The genetic test must use a sample collection device that is FDA-cleared, -approved, or -classified as 510(k) exempt, with an indication for in vitro diagnostic use in over-the-counter DNA testing.
(3) The device's labeling must include a hyperlink to the manufacturer's public website where the manufacturer must make the information identified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section publicly available. The manufacturer's home page, as well as the primary part of the manufacturer's website that discusses the device, must provide a hyperlink to the web page containing this information and must allow unrestricted viewing access. If the device can be purchased from the website or testing using the device can be ordered from the website, the same information must be found on the web page for ordering the device or provided in a publicly accessible hyperlink on the web page for ordering the device. Any changes to the device that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness would require new data or information in support of such changes, which must also be posted on the manufacturer's website. The information must include:
(i) An index of the material being provided to meet the requirements in paragraph (b)(3) of this section and its location.
(ii) Technical information about the device, as specified in paragraph (b)(4) of this section.
(iii) A section that highlights summary information that allows the user to understand how the test works and how to interpret the results of the test. This section must, at a minimum, be written in plain language understandable to a lay user and include:
(A) Consistent explanations of the risk of disease associated with all variants included in the test, variants not included in the test, and specific considerations by ethnicity. If there are different categories of risk, the manufacturer must provide literature references and/or data that support the different risk categories. If there will be multiple test reports and multiple variants, the risk categories must be defined similarly among them. For example, “increased risk” must be defined similarly between different test reports and different variant combinations.
(B) Clear context for the user to understand the context in which the cited clinical performance data support the risk reported. This includes any risks that are influenced by ethnicity, age, gender, environment, and lifestyle choices.

(
1 ) Accuracy of the test must be evaluated with fresh clinical specimens collected and processed in a manner consistent with the test's instructions for use. If this is impractical, fresh clinical samples may be substituted or supplemented with archived clinical samples. Archived samples must have been collected previously in accordance with the instructions for use, stored appropriately, and randomly selected. In some limited circumstances, use of contrived samples or human cell line samples may also be appropriate and used as an acceptable alternative. The contrived or human cell line samples must mimic clinical specimens as much as is feasible and provide an unbiased evaluation of the test's accuracy.(
2 ) Accuracy must be evaluated by comparison to bidirectional Sanger sequencing or other methods identified as appropriate by FDA. Performance criteria for both the comparator method and the test must be pre-defined and appropriate to the test's intended use. Detailed study protocols must be provided.(
3 ) Information provided must include the number and type of specimens, broken down by clinically relevant variants for each indicated report that were compared to bidirectional sequencing or other methods identified as appropriate by FDA. The accuracy as positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) must be measured, and accuracy point estimates must be >99 percent (both per reported variant and overall). Uncertainty of the point estimate must be within an acceptable range, as identified by FDA, and must be presented using the 95 percent confidence interval.(
4 ) Sufficient specimens must be tested per genotype and must include all genotypes that will be included in the tests and reports. The number of samples tested in the accuracy study for each variant reported must be based on the variant frequency.(
5 ) Any no calls (i.e., absence of a result) or invalid calls (e.g., failed quality control) in the study must be included in accuracy study results and reported separately. The percent of final 'no calls' or 'invalid calls' must be clinically acceptable. Variants that have a point estimate for PPA or NPA of
