BD Enteric Bacterial Panel for BD COR™ System

BD Enteric Bacterial Panel for BD COR™ System is an automated in vitro diagnostic test for the direct qualitative detection and differentiation of enteric bacterial pathogens. BD Enteric Bacterial Panel for BD COR™ System detects nucleic acids from:

• Salmonella spp.
• Campylobacter spp. (C. jejuni and C. coli)
• Shigella spp. / Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC)
• Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) / Shiga toxin 2 (stx2) genes (found in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli [STEC]) as well as Shigella dysenteriae, which can possess a Shiga toxin gene (stx) that is identical to the stx1 gene of STEC.

Testing is performed utilizing the BD Fecal Collection and Transport Kit. Unpreserved soft to diarrheal stool specimens from symptomatic patients with suspected acute gastroenteritis, enteritis or colitis are probed using the flocked swab and material is transferred to the BD Fecal Collection and Transport tube containing modified Cary-Blair medium. The test is performed utilizing real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of specific sequences of target DNA. The test utilizes fluorogenic sequence-specific hybridization probes for detection of the amplified DNA.

This test is intended for use, in conjunction with clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and epidemiological information, as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Salmonella, Shigella/EIEC, Campylobacter, and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms that are not detected by this test and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative results in the setting of clinical illness compatible with gastroenteritis may be due to infection by pathogens that are not detected by this test or non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease.

BD Enteric Bacterial Panel plus for BD COR™ System

BD Enteric Bacterial Panel plus for BD COR™ System is an automated in vitro diagnostic test for the direct qualitative detection and differentiation of enteric bacterial pathogens. BD Enteric Bacterial Panel plus for BD COR™ System detects nucleic acids from:

• Salmonella spp.
• Campylobacter spp. (C. jejuni and C. coli)
• Shigella spp. / Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC)
• Shiga toxin 1 (stx1) / Shiga toxin 2 (stx2) genes (found in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli [STEC]) as well as Shigella dysenteriae, which can possess a Shiga toxin gene (stx) that is identical to the stx1 gene of STEC.
• Plesiomonas shigelloides
• Vibrio spp. (V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. cholerae)
• Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) / heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) genes
• Yersinia enterocolitica

Testing is performed utilizing the BD Fecal Collection and Transport Kit. Unpreserved soft to diarrheal stool specimens from symptomatic patients with suspected acute gastroenteritis, enteritis or colitis are probed using the flocked swab and material is transferred to the BD Fecal Collection and Transport tube containing modified Cary-Blair medium.

This test is intended for use, in conjunction with clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and epidemiological information, as an aid in the differential diagnosis of Salmonella, Shigella/EIEC, Campylobacter, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Plesiomonas shigelloides, Vibrio spp. (V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. cholerae), Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) LT/ST, and Yersinia enterocolitica. Results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms that are not detected by this test and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness.

Enteric Bacterial Panel Diluent for BD COR™ System

The Enteric Bacterial Panel Diluent for BD COR™ System is intended to be used in clinical settings according to instructions provided for aliquoting into Molecular Aliquot Tubes by the BD COR™ System. The Enteric Bacterial Panel Diluent for BD COR™ System is only for use with BD Fecal Collection and Transport Kit specimens tested on BD COR™ Systems.

The BD Enteric Bacterial Panel for BD COR™ System (BD EBP for BD COR™ System) simultaneously detects pathogens responsible for gastroenteritis due to Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. (C. jejuni and C. coli), Shigella spp./EIEC, stx/stx1/stx2 found in Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and in Shigella dysenteriae, and an internal Sample Processing Control. The BD Enteric Bacterial Panel plus for BD COR™ Systems (BD EBP plus for BD COR™ System) additionally detects Plesiomonas shigelloides, Vibrio (V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. cholerae), Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) LT/ST, Yersinia enterocolitica and an internal Sample Processing Control with a second master mix. The assays automate the testing process and minimize operator intervention from the time the sample is placed onto the BD COR™ System until results are available.

The BD COR™ System is comprised of a single BD COR™ PX System attached to a BD COR™ MX Analyzer as described in K210585 and K224653. Once the specimens are loaded, the BD COR™ PX System performs the necessary pre-analytical steps such as vortexing, aliquoting into a diluent filled molecular aliquot tube, sorting/grouping of the secondary samples for testing by assay, pre-warming and cooling of the sample (where required), and transport of the sample into the BD COR™ MX Analyzer, where extraction, amplification and detection take place.

Additionally, the steps of ordering tests on the instrument for specific samples will be managed directly by the user interaction with the Laboratory Information System (LIS), which communicates directly with the instrument.

Once the clinical specimens are received in the laboratory and loaded into the transport racks, the user will not be required to directly handle the specimen again prior to result reporting and removal from the system.
