Panther Fusion® - PARAFLU KIT, PANTHER FUSION, 96T, IVD


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 virus genera associated with respiratory diseases in a clinical specimen, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Viruses intended to be detected may include respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, human metapneumovirus, coronaviruses, enteroviruses, rhinoviruses and/or adenoviruses. This test is commonly used in the laboratory or in point-of-care analyses. It is not intended to be used for self-testing.

    Device Name: Parainfluenza Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay

    Device Class: 2

    Physical State: Nucleic Acid Based Assay

    Definition: A parainfluenza multiplex nucleic acid assay is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the simultaneous qualitative detection and discrimination of parainfluenza 1 virus, parainfluenza 2 virus, parainfluenza 3 virus and parainfluenza 4 virus 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 human parainfluenza nucleic acids from symptomatic patients aid in the diagnosis of human respiratory tract parainfluenza 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.
