The Revogene C. difficile assay performed on the Revogene instrument is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test that utilizes automated sample processing and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the toxin B (tcdB) gene of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in unformed (liquid or soft) stool specimens obtained from patients suspected of having C. difficile infection. The Revogene C. difficile assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of CDI.

Device Description

A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of nucleic acid, including specific gene markers from Clostridium difficile bacteria in a clinical specimen and/or culture isolate, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Markers detected may include genes conferring antimicrobial resistance (e.g., gyrA gene), virulence (e.g., ribotype 027) and genes encoding toxin A and/or B.
