Intended Use
The AccuProbe Group B Streptococcus Culture Identification Test is a rapid DNA probe test which utilizes the technique of nucleic acid hybridization for the identification of Group B Streptococcus isolated from culture. The new indication for use covered in this 510(k) is for culture identification of Group B Streptococcus from vaginal and/or anorectal swab specimens collected from pregnant women at 35 to 37 weeks gestation, and cultured in Lim broth for 18 to 24 hours.
Device Description
The ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus Culture Identification Test is a rapid DNA probe test which is based on the detection of ribosomal RNA sequences that are unique to Streptococcus agalactiae. Nucleic acid hybridization tests are based on the ability of complementary nucleic acid strands to specifically align and associate to form stable double-stranded complexes. The ACCUPROBE test uses a single-stranded DNA probe with a chemiluminescent label that is complementary to the ribosomal RNA of the target organism. After the ribosomal RNA is released from the organism, the labeled DNA probe combines with the target organism's ribosomal RNA to form a double-stranded DNA:RNA hybrid. The Selection reagent allows for the differentiation of non-hybridized and hybridized probe. The labeled DNA:RNA hybrids are measured in the Gen-Probe luminometer. A positive result is a luminometer reading equal to or greater than the cut-off. A value below this result is a negative result.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a DNA probe test based on nucleic acid hybridization and luminometer readings, with no mention of AI or ML techniques.

No.
The device is a rapid DNA probe test used for the identification of Group B Streptococcus from culture, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device identifies Group B Streptococcus from cultured samples to aid in diagnosing the presence of the bacteria in pregnant women, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "rapid DNA probe test" that utilizes "nucleic acid hybridization" and is measured in a "Gen-Probe luminometer." These are hardware components and laboratory procedures, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "identification of Group B Streptococcus isolated from culture." This involves testing biological specimens (vaginal and/or anorectal swabs) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a "rapid DNA probe test which utilizes the technique of nucleic acid hybridization." This is a laboratory-based test performed on cultured samples.
  • Clinical Studies: The performance studies involve testing clinical specimens (cultured swabs) and comparing the results to traditional laboratory methods.
  • Key Metrics: The performance is evaluated using metrics like Sensitivity, Specificity, and Percent Agreement, which are standard for evaluating the accuracy of diagnostic tests.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also for the identification of Group B Streptococcus isolated from culture, further confirming its classification as an IVD.

All of these points align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Non-Clinical Studies: Precision
The within run and between-run precision of the ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus test using mixtures of ribosomal RNA to mimic vaginal and anorectal swabs.
Within run precision was calculated by assaying a mixture of ribosomal RNA isolated from Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, using 10 replicates in a single assay, with a Mean Response of 77,612, Standard Deviation of 2,767, and Coefficient of Variation of 3.6%.
Between-run precision was calculated by assaying the same mixture culture of ribosomal RNA using single determinations in 12 consecutive assays, with a Mean Response of 78,676, Standard Deviation of 2,966, and Coefficient of Variation of 3.8%.

Clinical Studies: Sensitivity and Specificity
The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus test as compared to the traditional culture methods are presented for each individual clinical site and for all sites combined.

Conventional methods included culture on sheep blood agar and Lim broth (Todd-Hewitt with nalidixic acid and colistin) for 18 to 24 hours, followed by subculture from the Lim broth to another sheep blood agar plate. Colony identification methods included the CAMP test, the PathoDx test (Diagnostic Products Corp., Los Angeles, CA), and the ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus test.
The clinical protocol was developed to immerse swabs in Lim broth for at least one minute, and then express against the side of the tube. The tube was then vortexed, incubated at 35° to 37°C for 18 to 24 hours, and vortexed prior to use. The ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus test procedure was then performed exactly as recommended in the current Package Insert, using a 50 ul aliquot of the resulting broth culture. The results were interpreted according to the Package Insert recommendations.

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)
