Product Codes

Code: OCC

Device Name: Respiratory Virus Panel Nucleic Acid Assay System

Device Class: 2

Physical State: A qualitative in vitro diagnostic assay intended to simultaneously detect, identify, and/or differentiate multiple respiratory virus nucleic acid extracted from human respiratory specimens or viral cultures. Detection and differentiation of specific virus RNA or DNA aids in the diagnosis of respiratory infections in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory testing in patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of infection with these viruses.

Definition: A respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple viral nucleic acids extracted from human respiratory specimens or viral culture. The detection and identification of a specific viral nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. The device is intended for detection and identification of a combination of the following viruses: Influenza A and Influenza B, Influenza A subtype H1 and Influenza A subtype H3, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus.

Device Name: Influenza A And Influenza B Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay

Device Class: 2

Physical State: Nucleic acid based assay

Definition: An Influenza A and Influenza B multiplex nucleic acid assay is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the simultaneous qualitative detection and discrimination of influenza A and influenza B nucleic acids isolated and purified from human respiratory specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infections or viral culture. The detection and discrimination of influenza A and B nucleic acids from symptomatic patients aid in the diagnosis of human respiratory tract influenza viral infections if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

Device Name: Real Time Nucleic Acid Amplification System

Device Class: 2

Physical State: Should not include microarray or electrophoresis detection methods or instruments.

Definition: The system is a clinical multiplex instrument intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated my multiple probes, intercalating dyes, or other ligands in an assay from a clinical sample. Signals may be generated by fluorescence or other phenomena and may be measured using filters on a photodiode or other detector. It may integrate sample and/or reagent handling, amplification, dedicated instrument control, data acquisition software, raw data storage mechanisms and other essential hardware components along with the signal reader unit. The system is used with specific assays to comprise an assay test system.

Gmp Exempt Flag: A real-time thermocycler is intended to identify and/or quantify the presence of specific sequences of double stranded DNA, amplified from a biological source and labeled with fluorescently labeled probes or through the use of intercalating dyes and detect using a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). Fluorescence emission is detected through the use of filters on a photodiode. The emission filters are optimized for use with specific fluorescent dyes.
