The Eonis™ SCID-SMA kit is intended for the qualitative detection of the SMN1 gene exon 7 as an aid in screening newborns for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The test is intended for DNA from blood specimens dried on a filter paper and for use on the QuantStudio™ Dx Real-Time PCR instrument. This test is only intended for use for screening of SMA that bear the homozygous deletion of SMN1 exon 7. This test is not intended for use as a diagnostic test and a positive screening result should be followed by confirmatory testing.

The Eonis SCID-SMA kit contains reagents to detect three biomarkers: TREC, KREC and exon 7 in the SMN1 gene. Detection of TREC and KREC was cleared in K203035. The newborn screening workflow for the Eonis SCID-SMA kit includes: - Two liquid handling platforms (one for DNA extraction and one for PCR master mix . setup) - QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR instrument . - . Eonis Analysis Software Each Eonis SCID-SMA kit contains reagents for up to 384 reactions or 1152 reactions including kit controls. The kit contents are listed in Table 1. Materials required but not provided include the Eonis DNA Extraction Kit, Eonis Analysis Software and consumables (Table 2).
