The Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated, automated Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A, and influenza B RNA in nasopharyngeal swab and anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection due to SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B can be similar. The Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information, and laboratory findings. SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B viral RNA are generally detectable in nasopharyngeal swab and anterior nasal swab specimens during the acute phase of infection. This test is not intended to detect influenza C virus infections. Positive results are indicative of the identified virus, but do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other organisms not detected by the test. The agent(s) detected by the Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test may not be the definitive cause of disease. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, or influenza B infection. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.

The Visby Medical Respiratory Health Test is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated, compact device containing a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based assay for qualitative detection of influenza B, and/or SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in upper respiratory tract specimens. The device automatically performs all steps required to complete lysis, reverse transcription (RT), PCR amplification, and detection. Specimen collected using nasopharyngeal (NP) or anterior nasal (AN) swabs (without transport media) are placed in the Visby Medical Respiratory Health Buffer and then transferred into the sample port of the device using the provided fixed volume pipette. The sample enters a lysis module and rehydrates the RT enzyme and RT primers. The mixture then moves through a sample preparation module where viruses and human cells are simultaneously lysed, and RNA is reverse transcribed. The resulting fluid (containing cDNA) is then mixed with lyophilized PCR reagents containing the DNA polymerase enzyme and PCR primers. The PCR mixture (containing cDNA template and reagents) is then thermal cycled to amplify the targets, including human beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) RNA, which serves as a process control. After PCR, the biotinylated product is hybridized to covalently bound capture probes at specific locations along a flow channel. The flow channel is configured to facilitate an enzymatic reaction that uses streptavidin bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a colorimetric substrate that forms a purple precipitate. The operator observes a color change at the specific locations indicating the presence of an amplified target. Test results can be expected in approximately 30 minutes: illumination of a "DONE" status light on the front of the device and a purple color in the "RESULTS VALID" spot, indicate a successful test. A purple spot adjacent to "Flu A", "Flu B", and/or "COVID-19" signifies the presence of, influenza A, influenza B, and/or SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA.

The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test is a single-use (disposable), fully-integrated, automated Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in vitro diagnostic test intended for use in point-of-care or clinical laboratory settings for the rapid detection and differentiation of DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis in self-collected female vaginal swab specimens using the Visby Medical Sexual Health Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit in a health care setting. The test results are to aid in the diagnosis of symptomatic infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis.

The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test (Visby Test) is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated, rapid, compact device containing a PCR-based assay for direct qualitative detection and differentiation of DNA from CT, NG, and TV. The test system includes the Visby Medical Sexual Health device, the Visby Medical power supply, the Visby Medical Vaginal Specimen Collection kit, and fixed-volume transfer pipettes. The device processes self-collected vaginal swab samples by automatically performing all steps required to complete lysis, polymerase chain reaction, and amplicon detection. The patient uses the Visby Medical Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit to self-collect a vaginal specimen with the provided flocked swab, and then the patient elutes the specimen into the Visby Medical Collection Media. The test operator transfers the collection media containing the patient specimen into the sample port of the device using the provided fixed-volume pipette where it rehydrates a lyophilized internal process control. The sample enters a lysis module, where the DNA of the sample and the internal process control are extracted using a combination of chemical lysis and high temperature. The extracted DNA enters a mixing chamber where it rehydrates lyophilized PCR reagents, followed by thermocycling to amplify target DNA. If present, the amplified pathogen target (CT, NG, and/or TV) and internal process control hybridize to specific probes located on a flow channel. Detection of the target-specific PCR product is accomplished via an enzyme-linked colorimetric assay using streptavidin bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a colorimetric substrate that forms a purple precipitate. Test results can be expected in approximately 30 minutes: a green check mark will appear, and a purple color will appear in the "Results Valid" spot, indicating a valid test. A purple spot adjacent to "Chlamydia," "Gonorrhea," and/or "Trichomoniasis" signifies the presence of amplified CT, NG, and/or TV DNA in the sample. Vaginal self-collection kits containing a tube of collection media compatible with the Sexual Health test and a collection swab are also packaged separately. External controls recommended in the product labeling are commercially available from a different manufacturer.

The Visby Medical Sexual Health Click Test is a single-use (disposable), fully-integrated, automated Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in vitro diagnostic test intended for use in point of-care or clinical laboratory settings for the rapid detection and differentiation of DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis in seff-collected female vaginal swab specimens using the Visby Medical Sexual Health Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit in a health care setting. The test results are to aid in the diagnosis of symptomatic infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis.

A purple spot adjacent to "Chlamydia," "Gonorrhoeae," and/or "Trichomonas" signifies the presence of amplified CT, NG, and/or TV DNA in the sample. Tests with invalid results due to an error (indicated by a red X status light) or failure to develop a purple spot in the "Control" spot, are retested with a new Visby device.
