Device Description

A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of nucleic acid from multiple types of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and/or viruses) associated with respiratory disease in a clinical specimen, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Organisms detected may include (but are not limited to) Streptococcus pneumoniae, influenza A, respiratory syncytial viruses A and B, rhinovirus, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and/or enterovirus.

    Device Name: Multi-Target Respiratory Specimen Nucleic Acid Test Including Sars-Cov-2 And Other Microbial Agents

    Device Class: 2

    Physical State: A closed system disposable pouch that contains all necessary reagents for sample preparation, reverse transcription, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and detection from multiple respiratory pathogens from a single nasopharyngeal swab specimen. The reagent pouch is hydrated with sample buffer and specimen to activate and is placed into an automated instrument to perform the sample preparation, PCR reaction, and detection for result generation.

    Definition: A device to detect and identify nucleic acid targets in respiratory specimens from microbial agents that cause the SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection and other microbial agents when in a multi-target test is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the detection and identification of SARS-CoV-2 and other microbial agents when in a multi-target test in human clinical respiratory specimens from patients suspected of respiratory infection who are at risk for exposure or who may have been exposed to these agents. The device is intended to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory infection in conjunction with other clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory data or other risk factors.
