No
The document describes a rapid immunoassay, which is a chemical test, not a software-based technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML use.

No.
This device is for diagnosis (qualitative detection of Group A Strep antigen), not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for the "qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal (Group A Strep) antigen in throat swab specimens from patients with suspected Group A Strep associated pharyngitis," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a rapid immunoassay, which is a laboratory test method involving physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal (Group A Strep) antigen in throat swab specimens from patients with suspected Group A Strep associated pharyngitis and for confirmation of presumptive Group A Strep colonies isolated on culture plates." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological specimen (throat swab) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies that it's a "rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen from throat swab specimens or confirmation of presumptive Group A Strep colonies recovered from culture." This reinforces the in vitro nature of the test.
  • Specimen Type: The device uses "throat swab specimens," which are biological samples collected from the body for in vitro analysis.

These characteristics align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Clinical testing was performed on 445 throat swabs collected at five U.S. clinical sites from patients seeking medical attention for pharyngitis. Each swab was used to inoculate 5% Sheep Blood Agar (SBA) and Strep Selective Sheep Blood Agar (SSA) culture plates within 30 minutes of collection. The culture plates were aerobically incubated at 35 to 37℃. Suspect beta-hemolytic colonies were confirmed as Group A Strep by a latex agglutination test.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Clinical testing was performed on 445 throat swabs. When compared to SBA culture, TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II assay demonstrated a sensitivity of 92.9% at End of Assay (EOA) and 94.6% at 10 minutes after specimen addition, a specificity of 97.9% at EOA and 97.0% at 10 minutes after specimen addition, and an agreement of 96.6% at EOA and 96.4% at 10 minutes after specimen addition for all sites combined. When compared to SSA culture, TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II assay demonstrated a sensitivity of 90.4% at EOA and 92.2% at 10 minutes after specimen addition, a specificity of 97.9% at EOA and 97.0% at 10 minutes after specimen addition, and an agreement of 96.0% at EOA and 95.7% at 10 minutes after specimen addition for all sites combined.

§ 866.3740

Streptococcus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Streptococcus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera (excluding streptococcal exoenzyme reagents made from enzymes secreted by streptococci) used in serological tests to identifyStreptococcus spp. from cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genusStreptococcus and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Pathogenic streptococci are associated with infections, such as sore throat, impetigo (an infection characterized by small pustules on the skin), urinary tract infections, rheumatic fever, and kidney disease.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.

MAR - 3 1998 510(k) Summary Abbott TestPack® Plus™ Strep A with OBC® II

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting a Substantially Equivalent Determination

The following information as presented in the Premarket Notification [510(k)] for Abbott TestPack® Plus™ Strep A with On Board Controls (OBC®) II constitutes data supporting a substantially equivalent determination.

Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated between TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II and the results obtained through isolation of Group A Strep colonies on sheep blood agar medium followed by a serological grouping of presumptive Group A Strep.

TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II is a rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen from throat swab specimens or confirmation of presumptive Group A Strep colonies recovered from culture.

The intended use of both is for the qualitative detection of Streptococcus pyogenes. Both can be used with throat swab specimens. TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II detects Strep A specific antigen, whereas, culture and confirmation by typing identify growth of the Streptococcus pyogenes organisms. TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II can be used for both the qualitative identification of Group A Strep antigen and the confirmation of suspect colonies from culture, whereas, culture and confirmation by typing can only be used for the qualitative detection of Streptococcus pyogenes organisms. TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II utilizes an internal on board control system consisting of six control features, however, culture does not contain any internal controls. TestPack Plus Strep A with OBC II requires processing of the throat swab specimen, however, culture does not require processing of the throat swab specimen.
