Product Overview

IVD reagent kit containing 30 tests.
FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis (ME) Panel - RFIT-ASY-0118


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 pathogens associated with meningitis, in a clinical specimen, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Pathogens detected may include but are not limited to Streptococcus meningitidis, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, adenovirus, enterovirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus 1 and/or herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV1 & 2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and Mumps virus.

Device Name: Meningitis/Encephalitis Pathogen Multiplex Nucleic Acid Detection System

Device Class: 2

Physical State: Meningitis/encephalitis pathogen multiplex nucleic acid detection systems are in vitro devices that consist of reagents and associated instrumentation for detection and identification of microbial nucleic acids in cerebrospinal fluid specimens.

Definition: A meningitis/encephalitis pathogen multiplex nucleic acid detection system is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection and identification of microbial-associated nucleic acids in cerebrospinal fluid. The test is indicated for individuals with signs and symptoms of meningitis or encephalitis and aids in diagnosis of agents of meningitis or encephalitis when used in conjunction with clinical and other laboratory findings.

Device Name: Instrumentation For Clinical Multiplex Test Systems

Device Class: 2

Physical State: N/A

Definition: Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems is a device that is intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated by an assay from a clinical sample. The generated signals from multiple probes or other ligands may be measured by fluorescence, luminescence, or other physical or chemical properties. The device may integrate scanning, reagent handling, hybridization, washing, dedicated instrument control, data acquisition software, raw data storage mechanisms and other essential hardware components along with the signal reader unit. This instrumentation is used with specific assays to comprise an assay test system to measure multiple analytes of a similar chemical nature for de

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.
