Indications for Use
The BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test is a qualitative, in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) present in methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The test is performed directly on blood culture samples positive for S. aureus. The BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test is not intended to diagnose MRSA nor to guide or monitor treatment for MRSA infections. Subculturing positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or epidemiological typing.
Device Story
The BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test is a rapid immunochromatographic membrane assay; utilizes monoclonal antibodies to detect PBP2a protein directly from S. aureus-positive blood cultures. The test strip, containing immobilized test and control antibodies, is housed in a book-shaped hinged cardboard device. The operator adds a prepared sample to the sample pad; results are read visually at 10 minutes. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. The test provides qualitative results to assist in identifying MRSA; however, it does not replace the need for subculturing and standard susceptibility testing for clinical decision-making or epidemiological typing.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center clinical study (2008-09) at four US hospital laboratories. Evaluated 199 S. aureus samples compared to Cefoxitin disc diffusion, Oxacillin disc diffusion, and automated MIC systems. Overall sensitivity 97.1% (MRSA positive) and specificity 100% (MRSA negative). Reproducibility study across 3 sites, 6 operators, and 5 days showed 100% (599/599) agreement. Analytical sensitivity (LOD) determined to be 2.5 x 10^7 cells/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Immunochromatographic membrane assay; utilizes monoclonal antibodies immobilized on a test strip. Form factor: cardboard, book-shaped hinged device. Reagents include alkaline solutions and pH indicators. Visual readout. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of PBP2a protein in blood culture samples previously identified as positive for S. aureus to aid in the identification of MRSA. Not for diagnosing MRSA or guiding/monitoring treatment.
Regulatory Classification

L. Test Principle:
The BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test is a rapid immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect the PBP2a protein directly from blood cultures which have been identified as being positive for S. aureus. These antibodies and a control antibody are immobilized onto a test strip as two distinct lines and combined with other reagents/pads. This test strip is mounted inside a cardboard, book-shaped hinged test device.
Specimens are aliquots from blood cultures which have been identified as positive for S. aureus. After the sample is prepared, it is added to the sample pad at the top of the test strip and the device is closed. Results are read at 10 minutes.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility study was done at three sites, tested by two operators in duplicates for five days.
10 x (2) duplicates x 2 operators x 5 days x 3 sites = 600
Reproducibility was >95%.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The controls for the BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test are:
1. Built-in positive and negative procedural controls with each testing strip
A. The appearance of a blue line at the "control line" position can be considered an internal positive procedural control. If capillary flow has occurred, this line will always appear.
B. The clearing of the background color from the result window is a negative background control. In comparison to the color of the control line, the background color in the window should be white within 10 minutes.
2. The recommended QC organisms are the following
{4}
Positive control: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus BAA44
Negative control: Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923
Quality control data was compiled across all four sites and all QC results were acceptable. The overall expected results were greater than 95%.
d. Detection limit:
The analytical limit of detection of the BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test in ATCC strain BAA44 using 1/10 diluted saline suspension inoculum is 2.5 x 10⁷ cells/mL.
| Bacterial Concentration/mL | Number Detected | % Detection |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.33x10⁷ | 20/20 | 100 |
| 2.5x10⁷ | 19/20 | 95 |
| 4.94x10⁶ | 13/20 | 65 |
| 2.19x10⁶ | 3/20 | 15 |
| Whole Blood | 0/20 | 0 |
An additional study using the same dilution as the initial study has been performed to determine the LoD in CFU/mL. Results of the study are presented in the table below
| Organism | ID# | Concentration (CFU/mL) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| S. aureus (USA100) | NRS658 | 5.8x10⁵ |
| S. aureus (USA100) | NRS660 | 1.64x10⁶ |
| S. aureus (USA300) | NRS643 | 1.66x10⁶ |
| S. aureus (USA300) | NRS647 | 6.2x10⁵ |
| S. aureus | ATCC-29737 | 5.3x10⁵ |
| S. aureus | ATCC-29213 | 7.0x10⁵ |
| S. aureus | ATCC-BAA44 | 4.7x10⁵ |
| S. aureus | ATCC-33592 | 9.9x10⁵ |
The concentrations for the 1/10 diluted saline suspension inoculum in this study ranged from 4.7x10⁵ to 1.66x10⁶ CFU/mL.
e. Analytical specificity:
Analytical Reactivity
The Analytical Reactivity study included 60 well characterized MRSA strains from Network on Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (NARSA) and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and tested using
{5}
the BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test which provided expected results. There were 38 MRSA strains from NARSA included in the study representing Pulse-Field Types (PFT) USA100, USA200, USA300, USA400, USA500, USA600, USA700, and USA800.
## Cross Reactivity
Cross Reactivity Study was performed on 32 methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), 38 Staphylococcal strains (other than S. aureus) and 100 non-Staphylococcal strains. All strains tested negative in the BinaxNOW® test except Cryptococcus neoformans and Staphylococcus sciuri. A limitation statement will be included in the package insert regarding the unexpected results of Cryptococcus neoformans and Staphylococcus sciuri on the BinaxNOW® PBP2a.
## Interfering Substances
There was no interference observed with the 20 substances such as medications, human and blood components, and supplements normally found in blood culture bottle media.
### f. Assay cut-off:
Not applicable
### 2. Comparison studies:
#### a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The clinical study was conducted in 2008-09 at four geographically diverse hospital laboratories within the US. A total of 199 S. aureus samples were evaluated with the BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test and compared to standard methods used routinely by the laboratories: Cefoxitin (30 µg) disc diffusion, Oxacillin (1 µg) disc diffusion and automated antimicrobial susceptibility test systems.
The table below presents BinaxNOW® PBP2a Test performance by reference method. Because each sample was tested on more than one reference method, there are more observations in this table (n=317) than the total number of samples (n=199).
