The summary describes a standard real-time PCR assay and automated system for detecting and quantifying BKV DNA. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The result calculation is based on a calibration curve, which is a standard method in quantitative assays, not indicative of AI/ML.
No.
The device is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test intended to quantify BK virus DNA as an aid in diagnosis and management, indicating its use for diagnostic purposes rather than directly providing therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The Intended Use/Indications for Use section explicitly states that "Alinity m BKV is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis and management of BKV in transplant patients." This directly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that utilizes hardware components (Alinity m System, assay kits, transport kits, tubes, caps, solutions) and reagents to perform nucleic acid amplification and detection. While it includes system software, it is not solely 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 Alinity m BKV is an "in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantitation of BK virus (BKV) DNA in human EDTA plasma... and urine". It is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis and management of BKV in transplant patients. This clearly indicates that the device is used to test samples taken from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis and management.
- Device Description: The description details how the device processes human specimens (plasma and urine) using laboratory techniques (nucleic acid amplification, real-time PCR) to detect and quantify BKV DNA. This is a hallmark of an in vitro diagnostic device.
- Components: The device utilizes various reagents, controls, and calibrators specifically designed for testing biological samples, which are typical components of IVDs.
- Performance Studies: The document describes analytical and clinical performance studies conducted using human specimens to evaluate the device's accuracy and reliability in a diagnostic context.
The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures. The Alinity m BKV fits this definition perfectly.
N/A

Device Description
The Alinity m BKV assay utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect BKV genomic DNA sequences that have been extracted from human EDTA plasma or urine specimens. The steps of the Alinity m BKV assay consist of sample preparation, real-time PCR assembly, amplification/detection, result calculation, and reporting. One transfer step of urine specimens into the Alinity m Urine Transport Kit by the user is required prior to placing urine specimens on the Alinity m System. Remaining steps of the Alinity m BKV assay procedure are executed automatically by the Alinity m System. Manual dilutions may be performed for low-volume plasma specimens to meet the minimum volume requirement. The Alinity m System is designed to be a randomaccess analyzer that can perform the Alinity m BKV assay in parallel with other Alinity m assays on the same instrument.
Alinity m BKV requires three separate assay specific kits as follows:
- . Alinity m BKV AMP Kit (List No. 09N85-095), consisting of 2 types of multi-well assay trays. The amplification tray (AMP TRAY 1) contains liquid, unit-dose PCR amplification/detection reagents and liquid, unit-dose Internal Control (IC) in separate wells; and the activation tray (ACT TRAY 2) contains liquid, unit-dose activation reagent. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV AMP Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
- . Alinity m BKV CTRL Kit (List No. 09N85-085), consisting of negative controls, low positive controls, and high positive controls, each supplied as liquid in single-use tubes. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV CTRL Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
- Alinity m BKV CAL Kit (List No. 09N85-075), consisting of 2 calibrator levels, . each supplied as liquid in single-use tubes. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV CAL Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
The Alinity m BKV assay requires a transport kit for testing all urine specimens:
- Alinity m Urine Transport Kit (List No. 09N85-001) consisting of a transport tube . and transfer pipette. The transport tube contains transport buffer. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m Urine Transport Kit is 15℃ to 30℃.
BKV DNA from human plasma or urine is extracted automatically on board the Alinity m System using the Alinity m Sample Prep Kit 2, Alinity m Lysis Solution, and Alinity m Diluent Solution. The Alinity m System employs magnetic microparticle technology to facilitate nucleic acid capture, wash, and elution. The resulting purified DNA is then combined with liquid unit-dose Alinity m BKV activation reagent and liquid unit-dose Alinity m BKV amplification/detection reagents and transferred into a reaction vessel. Alinity m Vapor Barrier Solution is then added to the reaction vessel which is then transferred to an amplification/detection unit for PCR amplification and real-time fluorescence detection of BKV DNA.
At the beginning of the Alinity m BKV sample preparation process, a liquid unit-dose IC on the AMP Tray is transferred by the Alinity m System and delivered into each sample preparation reaction. The IC is then processed through the entire sample preparation and real-time PCR procedure along with the specimens, calibrators, and controls to demonstrate proper sample processing and validity.
The Alinity m BKV amplification/detection reagents consist of enzymes, primers, probes, and activation reagents that enable amplification and detection of dual targets in the BKV genome. Amplification and detection of the two BKV targets ensures sensitive detection of the viral genome even at low levels. In addition to the BKV primers and probes, the assay utilizes an IC primer/probe set for amplification and detection of the IC target sequence, which is not related to BKV. The IC probe is labeled with a different fluorophore than the BKV probes. This allows for simultaneous detection and discrimination of both the BKV and IC amplified products within the same reaction vessel.
A BKV calibration curve is required for determination of BKV DNA concentration. Two levels of calibrators are processed through sample preparation and PCR to generate the calibration curve. The concentration of BKV DNA in specimens and controls is then calculated from the stored calibration curve.
Assay controls are tested at or above an established minimum frequency to help ensure that instrument and reagent performance remains satisfactory. During each control event, a negative control, a low-positive control, and a high positive control are processed through sample preparation and PCR procedures that are identical to those used for specimens.
The Alinity m BKV assay also utilizes the following:
- Alinity m BKV Application Specification File (List No. 09N85-05A) .
- Alinity m System and System Software (List No. 08N53-002)

1.4 Device Description
The Alinity m BKV assay utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect BKV genomic DNA sequences that have been extracted from human EDTA plasma or urine specimens. The steps of the Alinity m BKV assay consist of sample preparation, real-time PCR assembly, amplification/detection, result calculation, and reporting. One transfer step of urine specimens into the Alinity m Urine Transport Kit by the user is required prior to placing urine specimens on the Alinity m System. Remaining steps of the Alinity m BKV assay procedure are executed automatically by the Alinity m System. Manual dilutions may be performed for low-volume plasma specimens to meet the minimum volume requirement. The Alinity m System is designed to be a randomaccess analyzer that can perform the Alinity m BKV assay in parallel with other Alinity m assays on the same instrument.
Alinity m BKV requires three separate assay specific kits as follows:
- . Alinity m BKV AMP Kit (List No. 09N85-095), consisting of 2 types of multi-well assay trays. The amplification tray (AMP TRAY 1) contains liquid, unit-dose PCR amplification/detection reagents and liquid, unit-dose Internal Control (IC) in separate wells; and the activation tray (ACT TRAY 2) contains liquid, unit-dose activation reagent. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV AMP Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
- . Alinity m BKV CTRL Kit (List No. 09N85-085), consisting of negative controls, low positive controls, and high positive controls, each supplied as liquid in single-use tubes. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV CTRL Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
- Alinity m BKV CAL Kit (List No. 09N85-075), consisting of 2 calibrator levels, . each supplied as liquid in single-use tubes. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m BKV CAL Kit is -25°C to -15°C.
8
The Alinity m BKV assay requires a transport kit for testing all urine specimens:
- Alinity m Urine Transport Kit (List No. 09N85-001) consisting of a transport tube . and transfer pipette. The transport tube contains transport buffer. The intended storage condition for the Alinity m Urine Transport Kit is 15℃ to 30℃.
BKV DNA from human plasma or urine is extracted automatically on board the Alinity m System using the Alinity m Sample Prep Kit 2, Alinity m Lysis Solution, and Alinity m Diluent Solution. The Alinity m System employs magnetic microparticle technology to facilitate nucleic acid capture, wash, and elution. The resulting purified DNA is then combined with liquid unit-dose Alinity m BKV activation reagent and liquid unit-dose Alinity m BKV amplification/detection reagents and transferred into a reaction vessel. Alinity m Vapor Barrier Solution is then added to the reaction vessel which is then transferred to an amplification/detection unit for PCR amplification and real-time fluorescence detection of BKV DNA.
At the beginning of the Alinity m BKV sample preparation process, a liquid unit-dose IC on the AMP Tray is transferred by the Alinity m System and delivered into each sample preparation reaction. The IC is then processed through the entire sample preparation and real-time PCR procedure along with the specimens, calibrators, and controls to demonstrate proper sample processing and validity.
The Alinity m BKV amplification/detection reagents consist of enzymes, primers, probes, and activation reagents that enable amplification and detection of dual targets in the BKV genome. Amplification and detection of the two BKV targets ensures sensitive detection of the viral genome even at low levels. In addition to the BKV primers and probes, the assay utilizes an IC primer/probe set for amplification and detection of the IC target sequence, which is not related to BKV. The IC probe is labeled with a different fluorophore than the BKV probes. This allows for simultaneous detection and discrimination of both the BKV and IC amplified products within the same reaction vessel.
A BKV calibration curve is required for determination of BKV DNA concentration. Two levels of calibrators are processed through sample preparation and PCR to generate the
9
calibration curve. The concentration of BKV DNA in specimens and controls is then calculated from the stored calibration curve.
Assay controls are tested at or above an established minimum frequency to help ensure that instrument and reagent performance remains satisfactory. During each control event, a negative control, a low-positive control, and a high positive control are processed through sample preparation and PCR procedures that are identical to those used for specimens.
The Alinity m BKV assay also utilizes the following:
- Alinity m BKV Application Specification File (List No. 09N85-05A) .
- Alinity m System and System Software (List No. 08N53-002)

1.8 Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of safety, effectiveness, and substantial equivalence determination of the device.
1.8.1 Specific Performance Characteristics
1.8.1.1 Traceability to the WHO Standard
Primary calibrators and assay product calibrators with known concentrations were used throughout product development and product manufacturing to establish traceability to the 1st World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard for BK virus for Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NIBSC code: 14/212). The concentrations tested for the WHO standard were 3.00 Log IU/mL and 5.00 Log IU/mL. The target concentrations tested for the primary calibrators were 2.91 Log IU/mL and 6.94 Log IU/mL. The Alinity m BKV product calibrators and controls were also tested along with the primary calibrators and the WHO standard. All the tested material had observed BKV concentrations similar to the target concentrations and were linear across the assay's quantitation range, as presented in Figure 1.

1.8.1.2 Performance Characteristics for Plasma Sample Type
Limit of Detection 1.8.1.2.1
The Limit of Detection (LoD) was determined by testing dilutions of the 1st WHO International Standard for BK virus for Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NIBSC code: 14/212, subgroup Ib) prepared in BKV-negative human EDTA plasma. Testing for each BKV DNA concentration was performed with 3 lots of amplification reagents across multiple days. The results, representative of the analytical sensitivity performance of Alinity m BKV in plasma, are summarized in Table 4 (Lot 1), Table 5 (Lot 2), and Table 6 (Lot 3). The claimed LoD of Alinity m BKV is 50 IU/mL (1.70 Log IU/mL) in plasma.
Probit analysis of the data for Lot 2 (least sensitive lot) determined that the concentration of BKV DNA in plasma detected with 95% probability (LoD by Probit) was 18.13 IU/mL (95% CI: 11.82 to 41.99 IU/mL).

1.8.1.2.3 Linear Range
The quantitation range of Alinity m BKV for plasma is from the lower limit of quantitation (LLoQ) of 50 IU/mL (1.70 Log IU/mL) to the upper limit of quantitation (ULoQ) of 1,000,000,000 IU/mL (9.00 Log IU/mL). Linearity of Alinity m BKV was assessed by testing a dilution series of BKV subgroup Ib in BKV-negative
19
human EDTA plasma, consisting of 15 panel levels targeted in the range of 30 IU/mL to 2,000,000,000 IU/mL (1.48 Log IU/mL to 9.30 Log IU/mL).
Plasma panel was prepared either using the 1st WHO International Standard for BK virus (NIBSC code: 14/212, subgroup Ib) for multiple levels ranging from 30 IU/mL to 100.000 IU/mL (1.48 Log IU/mL to 5.00 Log IU/mL) or using armored DNA for the remaining levels ranging from 100 IU/mL to 2,000,000,000 IU/mL (2.00 Log IU/mL to 9.30 Log IU/mL).
Alinity m BKV was linear across the quantitation range from 50 IU/mL (1.70 Log IU/mL) to 1,000,000,000 IU/mL (9.00 Log IU/mL) in plasma. Representative results for Alinity m BKV linearity performance are shown in Figure 2.
Image /page/19/Figure/3 description: The image is a scatter plot titled "Figure 2. Alinity m BKV Linearity in EDTA Plasma." The x-axis is labeled "Expected Concentration (Log IU/mL)," and the y-axis is labeled "Alinity m BKV (Log IU/mL)." The plot shows a strong positive linear correlation between the expected concentration and the measured concentration of Alinity m BKV, with an r-value of 1.000.
Image /page/19/Figure/4 description: This image contains a note describing the markers in a plot. The note states that the markers represent the mean Alinity m BKV concentration, measured in Log IU/mL, for each panel level. The note is labeled with the letter 'a'.
1.8.1.2.4 Linearity for Genotypes
Linearity of Alinity m BKV for subgroups/subtypes Ia, Ic, II, III, and IV was confirmed by testing a dilution series in BKV-negative human EDTA plasma, consisting of 13 panel levels for subgroup/subtypes Ia, III, and IV and 12 panel levels for
20
subgroup/subtype Ic and II, targeted in the range of 30 IU/mL to 2,000,000,000 IU/mL (1.48 Log IU/mL to 9.30 Log IU/mL).
For subgroup/subtypes Ia, III, and IV, plasma panel was prepared either using clinical specimens for multiple levels ranging from 30 IU/mL to 100,000 IU/mL (1.48 Log IU/mL to 5.00 Log IU/mL) or using armored DNA for the remaining levels ranging from 200 IU/mL to 2,000,000,000 IU/mL (2.30 Log IU/mL to 9.30 Log IU/mL). For subgroup/subtype Ic and II, plasma panel was prepared using armored DNA for all levels ranging from 30 IU/mL to 2,000,000,000 IU/mL (1.48 Log IU/mL to 9.30 Log IU/mL).
Alinity m BKV was linear in plasma across the quantitation range from 50 IU/mL (1.70 Log IU/mL) to 1,000,000,000 IU/mL (9.00 Log IU/mL) for subgroups/subtypes Ia, Ic, II, III, and IV. Representative results for Alinity m BKV linearity performance for subgroups/subtypes Ia, Ic, II, III, and IV, along with results for subgroup Ib (Section 1.7.1.2.3), are shown in Figure 3.
Image /page/20/Figure/3 description: The image is a graph titled "Figure 3. Alinity m BKV Linearity for Genotypes in EDTA Plasma." The graph shows the relationship between Alinity m BKV (Log IU/mL) on the y-axis and Expected Concentration (Log IU/mL) on the x-axis. There are six different lines on the graph, each representing a different genotype: Ia, Ib, Ic, II, III, and IV. The lines are all relatively linear, indicating that the Alinity m BKV assay is linear for all of the genotypes tested.
4 Note: The markers in the plot represent the mean Alinity m BKV concentration (in Log IU/mL) for each panel level.
21
1.8.1.2.5 Precision
Precision of Alinity m BKV was determined by analyzing an 7-member panel prepared in BKV-negative human plasma. All panel members were prepared using clinical specimens. Each panel member was tested in 4 replicates, twice each day for 12 days, on 3 Alinity m Systems operated by 3 operator per instrument), using 3 AMP kit lots (one lot per instrument), for a total of 288 replicates per panel member.
The representative precision results in Table 9 demonstrated that Alinity m BKV within-laboratory standard deviation (SD) in plasma was less than or equal to 0.25 Log IU/mL for BKV DNA panels within the range of 2.70 Log IU/mL to 9.00 Log IU/mL (500 IU/mL to 1,000,000 IU/mL), and less than or equal to 0.50 Log IU/mL for BKV DNA panels within the range of 1.70 Log IU/mL to less than 2.70 Log IU/mL to less than 500 IU/mL).

1.8.1.2.6 Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLoQ)
The LLoQ is defined as the lowest concentration at which BKV DNA is reliably quantitated within an acceptable total error

Total error was estimated for detected plasma samples from the LoD study by 2 methods:
- Total Analytical Error (TAE) = |bias| + 2 × SD, and .
- Total Error (TE) = SQRT(2) × 2 × SD .
The results of the calculations are shown in Table 10.

1.8.1.2.9 Confirmation of LLoQ Using Plasma Dilution Procedure
Confirmation testing for Alinity m BKV LLoQ using the dilution procedure was performed by testing 2 panel members at 125 IU/mL (2.5 × LLoQ) and 1.50 IU/mL (3 ×LLoQ) with a dilution factor of 1:2.5. The BKV concentrations in the panel members were targeted at 50 IU/mL (LLoQ) and 60 IU/mL (near LLoQ) after dilution in Specimen Diluent. Panel members were dilutions of the 1ª WHO International Standard for BK Virus (NIBSC code: 14/212, subgroup Ib) prepared in BKV-negative EDTA plasma.
A minimum of 14 replicates per day of each panel level were tested using the dilution procedure in 3 runs across 3 days (one run per day). The study was performed using 1 Alinity m BKV AMP Kit lot, 1 Alinity m Specimen Dilution Kit I lot, and 1 Alinity m System. Total error was estimated by TAE and TE, as shown in Table 13. The accuracy and precision at 50 IU/mL and 60 IU/mL were confirmed for Alinity m BKV testing using the 1:2.5 dilution procedure.

1.8.1.3 Performance Characteristics for Urine Sample Type
1.8.1.3.1 Limit of Detection
The LoD was determined by testing dilutions of the 1st WHO International Standard for BK virus (NIBSC code: 14/212, subgroup Ib) prepared in BKV negative urine stabilized in transport buffer (Alinity m Urine Transport Kit). Testing for each BKV DNA concentration was performed with 3 lots of amplification reagents across multiple days. The results, representative of the analytical sensitivity performance of Alinity m BKV in urine, are summarized in Table 16 (Lot 1), Table 17 (Lot 2) and Table 18 (Lot 3). The claimed LoD of Alinity m BKV is 50 IU/mL (1.70 log IU/mL) in neat urine.
Probit analysis of the data for Lot 2 (least sensitive lot) determined that the concentration of BKV DNA in urine detected with 95% probability (LoD by Probit) was 16.97 IU/mL (95% CI: 11.42 to 39.14 IU/mL).

1.8.1.3.6 Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLoQ)
The LLoO is defined as the lowest concentration at which BKV QNA is reliably quantitated within an acceptable total error of ≤ 1.00 Log IU/mL. Total error was estimated for detected urine samples from the LoD study by 2 methods:
- Total Analytical Error (TAE) = |bias| + 2 × SD, and .
- Total Error (TE) = SQRT(2) × 2 × SD ●
The results of the calculations are shown in Table 22.
Panel members were dilutions of the 1* WHO International Standard for BK Virus (NIBSC code: 14/212, subgroup Ib) prepared in BKV-negative urine stabilized in transport buffer (Alinity m Urine Transport Kit).
The results of these analyses support a claimed LLoQ for Alinity m BKV of 50 IU/mL (1.70 Log IU/mL) in urine, with an acceptable level of accuracy and precision (ie, TAE and TE less than or equal to 1.00 Log IU/mL).

1.8.1.3.7 Analytical Specificity - Potential Cross-Reactants
The analytical specificity of Alinity m BKV was evaluated with a panel of microorganisms (Table 23) in BKV-negative unine, positive urine targeted to 150 IU/mL BKV DNA, and positive urine targeted to 1,000,000 IU/mL BKV DNA. Microorganisms were tested at final concentrations of at least 10 Units/mL for viruses and fungi or at least 10% Units/mL for bacteria and protozoa. No cross-reactivity or interference in the Alinity m BKV assay was observed in the presence of the tested microorganisms.

Analytical Specificity - Potentially Interfering Substances 1.8.1.3.8
The effects of endogenous substances and the presence of high levels of therapeutic drugs commonly prescribed in transplant patients were evaluated. Potential interference on Alinity m BKV performance in urine was assessed by testing a minimum of 8 samples at each BKV DNA level: negative, 150 IU/mL, and 1,000,000 IU/mL. No interference was observed in the presence of albumin (90 mg/mL), conjugated bilirubin (1000 mg/dL), glucose (1500 mg/dL), mucus (0.4% w/v), acidic pH (pH 4.0), basic pH (pH 9.0), semen (5.0% v/v), whole blood (10% v/v), sodium (450 mEq/L) or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (1 × 10° cells/mL) that were introduced in the sample. Interference was observed with mucus at >0.4% w/v and with PBMCs at >1 × 105 cells/mL.
No interference was observed in the presence of drug compounds tested in pools or individually at the concentrations shown
