The Alethia CMV Assay Test System includes separately provided test kits for the Alethia CMV DNA Amplification Assay and the Alethia CMV External Control Reagents. The Alethia CMV DNA Amplification Assay, performed on the Alethia instrument, is a qualitative, in vitro diagnostic test system for the direct detection of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in saliva samples from neonates younger than 21 days of age. The test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of congenital CMV infection. The results of this test should be used in conjunction with the results of other clinical findings. Flocked swabs should be used to collect saliva from neonates. The swab can be collected dry, without viral transport media (VTM), or placed in no more than 1 mL VTM. The Alethia CMV External Control Reagents are used as part of a routine quality control program to aid the user in detection of unexpected conditions that may lead to test errors. The external controls are intended for use with the Alethia CMV DNA Amplification Assay; the controls are not intended for use with other assays or systems.
