The Revogene® Carba C assay, performed on the Revogene® instrument, is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test designed for the detection and differentiation of the blaKPC, blaNDM, blaVIM, blaOXA-48-like, and blaIMP gene sequences associated with carbapenem-non-susceptible pure colonies of Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, when grown on blood agar or MacConkey agar. The test utilizes automated real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The Revogene Carba C assay should be used in conjunction with other laboratory tests including phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing. A negative Revogene Carba C assay result does not preclude the presence of other resistance mechanisms. The Revogene Carba C assay is intended as an aid for infection control in the detection of carbapenem-non-susceptible bacteria that colonize patients in healthcare settings. The identification of a blaIMP, blaNDM or blaVIM metallo-B-lactamase gene (i.e., the genes that encode the IMP, NDM and VIM metallo-B-lactamases, respectively) may be used as an aid to clinicians in determining appropriate therapeutic strategies for patients with known or suspected carbapenem non-susceptible infections.

Revogene® Carba C - 410500


Device Description

A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of multiple genes conferring resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs in multiple types of bacteria present in a clinical specimen and/or culture isolate, using a nucleic acid technique (NAT). Genes detected may include, but are not limited to, carbapenemase genes (KPC, NDM, VIM, and OXA), extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-encoding genes (e.g., TEM, SHV, IMP, NDM-1 and CTX-M) and/or vancomycin resistance genes (vanA and vanB).

    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.
