The summary describes a DNA amplification and detection system based on established molecular biology techniques (SDA and ET). It mentions using "an algorithm" to report results based on comparing a metric (MOTA score) to pre-determined cutoff values, which is a standard rule-based approach, not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks, deep learning, or training/inference processes typically associated with AI/ML.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a diagnostic tool for detecting the presence of specific bacterial DNA, not for treating or preventing disease.
Yes
The device is intended for the "direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA... as evidence of infection," which directly indicates its use in diagnosing these infections.
No
The device description clearly outlines the use of physical reagents, microwell strips, enzymes, and a thermally controlled fluorescent reader, indicating it is a hardware-based diagnostic system with associated software for data analysis and reporting.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states the device is for the "direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and in female and male urine specimens as evidence of infection." This involves testing biological specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status (presence of infection).
- Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay that utilizes chemical reactions (Strand Displacement Amplification and fluorescent energy transfer) to analyze DNA from clinical specimens. This is a hallmark of IVD devices.
- Performance Studies: The document describes clinical studies where the device's performance (sensitivity and specificity) was evaluated against reference methods (culture and patient infected status) using clinical specimens. This is a standard process for validating IVD devices.
- Predicate Devices: The mention of predicate devices (other IVD assays like cell culture and commercially available amplification methods) further confirms that this device falls within the category of IVDs used for diagnosing these infections.
The information provided clearly indicates that the BDProbeTec™ ET Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) Amplified DNA Assays are designed and used for diagnostic testing of biological samples in a laboratory setting, which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BDProbeTec™ ET Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Amplified DNA Assays, when tested with the BDProbeTec™ ET System, use Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA) technology for the direct, qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in endocervical swabs, male urethral swabs, and in female and male urine specimens as evidence of infection with C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, or of co-infection with C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Specimens may be from symptomatic or asymptomatic females for the BDProbeTec ET CT and GC Assays, from symptomatic or asymptomatic males for the BDProbeTec ET CT Assay, and from symptomatic males for the BDProbeTec ET GC Assay. A separate Amplification Control is an option for inhibition testing (BDProbeTec ET CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack).

Device Description
The BDProbeTec™ ET Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) amplified DNA assays utilize homogeneous SDA technology as the amplification method and fluorescent energy transfer (ET) as the detection method to test for the presence of CT and GC in clinical specimens.
For each assay, the SDA reagents are dried in two separate microwell strips. First, the processed sample is added to the Priming Microwell which contains the amplification primers, fluorescent labeled detector probe, and other reagents necessary for amplification. However, because no enzymes are present in the priming microwell strips, no amplification occurs at this step. After incubation, the reaction mixture is transferred to the Amplification Microwell, which contains two enzymes (a DNA polymerase and a restriction endonuclease) necessary for SDA. It is in this latter microwell in which amplification and detection occurs. The Amplification Microwells are sealed to prevent contamination and then incubated in a thermally controlled fluorescent reader which monitors each test well for the generation of amplified products. The presence of CT and GC is determined by relating the BDProbeTec ET MOTA (Method Other Than Acceleration) scores for the sample to pre-determined cutoff values. The MOTA score is a metric used to assess the magnitude of signal generated as a result of the reaction.
If the CT/GC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in two discrete microwells: C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive or negative. If the CT/GC/AC Reagent Pack is used, each sample and control are tested in three discrete microwells: C. trachomatis, N. gonorthoeae, and the Amplification Control. The purpose of the Amplification Control is to identify a sample that may inhibit the SDA reaction. Results are reported through an algorithm as positive, negative, or indeterminate.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
ANALYTICAL STUDIES:
Precision of the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assay was demonstrated by testing a five member panel consisting of four dilutions coinoculated with CT and GC in sample diluent and a negative (uninoculated sample diluent). The five member panel is made up of samples containing 0-100 C. trachomatis EBs/rxn and 0-100 N. gonorrhoeae cells/rxn. This precision panel was run at two clinical sites and internally. Six replicates of each panel were run twice a day for three days. No significant run-to-run or site-to-site variability was observed.
Reproducibility was determined by evaluating one panel consisting of seeded swab specimens, and another panel consisting of seeded buffer to simulate urine specimens. The 30 member swab panels contained 12 replicates of a level seeded with both 500 EBs/rxn (CT) and 500 cells/rxn (GC), 12 replicates of a level seeded with both 50 EBs/rxn (CT) and 30 cells/rxn (GC) and six unseeded samples. The 30 member urine panels contained 12 replicates of a level seeded with both 600 EBs/rxn (CT) and 500 cells/rxn (GC), 12 replicates of a level seed with both 115 EBs/rxn (CT) and 100 cells/rxn (GC) and six unseeded samples. Results were combined across 23 operators and across all sample levels (negative, low level, high level) to estimate reproducibility. Eighteen of 23 (78%) operators were at least 95% reproducible with CT swab specimens: 14/23 (61%) of the operators were at least 95% reproducible for CT buffer specimens. For GC specimens, 22/23 (96%) of the operators were at least 95 % reproducible with GC swab specimens and 20/23 (87%) achieved 95% reproducibility with GC buffer specimens.
The analytical sensitivity (limit of detection) of the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assay was determined by diluting 15 C. trachomatis serovars and 39 N. gonorrhoeae strains in CT/GC Diluent. Quantitated CT cultures were diluted to 0,5,15,35,70 and 200 EBs per reaction for each serovar. Quantitated GC cultures were diluted to 0,5,10,15,and 25 cells per reaction for each strain. Samples were processed and assayed in triplicate. The analytical sensitivity of the CT serovars ranged from 5-200 EBs per reaction with a median of 35 EBs per reaction. The LOD of the 39 N. gonorrhoeae strains ranged from 5-25 cells per reaction with a median of 5 cells per reaction. These strains included 14 ATCC strains (including six different N. gonorrhoeae auxotypes) and 25 clinical isolates obtained from geographically diverse sites.
A total of 156 bacteria, viruses, and yeast were tested with the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assay. Bacterial isolates were tested using at least 10 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/ml or equivalent copies of genomic DNA. Viruses were tested using at least 10 Plaque Forming Units (PFU)/ml or equivalent copies of genomic DNA. The organisms tested include those commonly found in the urogenital tract as well as others. For Chlamydia trachomatis, all results were negative as expected. Three N. cinerea strains were tested in the BDProbeTec ET GC assay. Of these, two were repeatedly positive. Sixteen N. subflava strains were tested in triplicate. Two strains were positive in one of three replicates. When the new strains were prepared and tested again, all results were negative. Eight N. lactamica strains were tested in triplicate. One strain was positive in one of the three replicates. When that strain was prepared and tested again, all results were negative.
Potential interfering substances which may be encountered in swab and/or urine specimens were tested with the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assays. Potential interfering substances were evaluated in the absence of target or with 200 CT EBs per reaction and 200 GC cells per reaction. False negative results may be caused by leukocytes and blood > 5% in swabs and by leukocytes, blood, bilirubin, and phenazopyridine in urine. When using the AC, these substances may also cause indeterminate results.
CLINICAL STUDIES:
Performance characteristics for the BDProbeTec™ ET CT and GC Amplified DNA Assays were established in a multicenter study at seven geographically diverse clinical sites. The final data analysis included 4108 CT and 4105 GC specimens collected from 2109 patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics, OB/GYN clinics, family planning clinics, adolescent clinics, and emergency rooms. Paired specimens (swab and urine) were collected from 2020 of the 2109 patients. Four endocervical swabs and one urine specimen were collected from female patients. The swabs were tested by cell culture for CT, culture for GC, the BDProbeTec ET assay, and a commercially available amplification method (AMP1). The endocervical swab collection order was rotated throughout the study to minimize effects of collection order. For males, two urethral swabs and one urine specimen were collected. The first swab was used for GC culture and then the BDProbeTec ET assay. The second swab was used for CT cell culture. Male and female urine specimens were tested on both the BDProbeTec ET system and AMP1. If cell culture was negative, but either amplification assay was positive, a DFA test was performed from the cell culture transport medium. A different commercially available amplification assay (AMP2) was performed from culture transport medium for those male patients who had a positive urine AMP1 test and the corresponding swabs were culture negative.
Performance characteristics for CT and GC were calculated both with and without the amplification control (AC). Data are presented without the AC. Assay interpretation differences resulting from use of the AC are footnoted at the bottom of each table.
BDProbeTec ET C. trachomatis results were compared to culture and patient infected status. Performance estimates for each specimen type and symptomatic status are shown in Table 1. A patient was considered if (1) the culture was positive, or (2) positive results were obtained for both AMP1 (in either the swab or urine) and DFA, or (3) AMP1 was positive in both swab and urine paired specimens. Data on pregnant females are footnoted at the bottom of Table 1. Of the 1.419 female swab specimens tested in the clinical evaluations by the BDProbeTec ET CT assay, 101 (7.1%) were classified as grossly bloody and 242 (17.1%) as moderately bloody. Assay performance with moderately to grossly bloody swabs was not statistically different than assay performance with non-bloody or lightly bloody swabs.
BDProbeTec ET N. gonorrohoeae results were compared to culture and patient infected status. Performance estimates for each specimen type and symptomatic status are shown in Table 2. A patient was considered if (1) the culture was positive or (2) in females, if AMP1 was positive in both swab and urine (paired specimens). Data on pregnant females are footnoted at the bottom of Table 2. Of the 1.411 female swab specimens tested in the clinical evaluations by the BDProbeTec ET GC assay, 102 (7.2%) were classified as grossly bloody and 242 (17.2%) as moderately bloody. Assay performance with moderately to grossly bloody swabs was not statistically different than assay performance with non-bloody or lightly bloody swabs.

Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents.(a)
Identification. Neisseria spp. direct serological test reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identifyNeisseria spp. from cultured isolates. Additionally, some of these reagents consist ofNeisseria spp. antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) which may be used to detect the presence ofNeisseria spp. directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genusNeisseria, such as epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, meningococcal disease, and gonorrhea, and also provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these microorganisms. The device does not include products for the detection of gonorrhea in humans by indirect methods, such as detection of antibodies or of oxidase produced by gonococcal organisms.(b)

Performance characteristics for CT and GC were calculated both with and without the amplification control (AC). Data are presented without the AC. Assay interpretation differences resulting from use of the AC are footnoted at the bottom of each table.
BDProbeTec ET C. trachomatis results were compared to culture and patient infected status. Performance estimates for each specimen type and symptomatic status are shown in Table 1. A patient was considered if (1) the culture was positive, or (2) positive results were obtained for both AMP1 (in either the swab or urine) and DFA, or (3) AMP1 was positive in both swab and urine paired specimens. Data on pregnant females are footnoted at the bottom of Table 1. Of the 1.419 female swab specimens tested in the clinical evaluations by the BDProbeTec ET CT assay, 101 (7.1%) were classified as grossly bloody and 242 (17.1%) as moderately bloody. Assay performance with moderately to grossly bloody swabs was not statistically different than assay performance with non-bloody or lightly bloody swabs.
BDProbeTec ET N. gonorrohoeae results were compared to culture and patient infected status. Performance estimates for each specimen type and symptomatic status are shown in Table 2. A patient was considered if (1) the culture was positive or (2) in females, if AMP1 was positive in both swab and urine (paired specimens).
