Indications for Use
The RPS Adeno Detector Plus is a rapid immunoassay test for the visual, qualitative in vitro detection of Adenoviral antigens (hexon protein) directly from human eye fluid. The test is intended for professional use as an aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis. Negative results do not preclude Adenovirus infection nor are they intended to rule out other microbial-caused infections of the conjunctiva, and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions.
Device Story
RPS Adeno Detector Plus is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of Adenovirus hexon protein in human ocular fluid. Device components include a sterile Dacron fleece sample collector, a test cassette containing an immunochromatographic strip, and a buffer solution. Operation involves collecting ocular fluid with the fleece, applying it to the cassette, and adding buffer. The buffer extracts viral proteins and facilitates transport across the strip. Adenoviral antigens are captured by monoclonal antibodies; one is immobilized in the detection zone, and the second is labeled with colloidal gold. Results are visually interpreted after 10 minutes. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to assist in the differential diagnosis of acute conjunctivitis. Provides rapid results to guide clinical management decisions.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, sequential, masked clinical trial (N=128) compared RPS Adeno Detector Plus to cell culture. Results: Sensitivity 90% (95% CI 74.2-98.0), Specificity 96% (95% CI 89.8-98.9), Negative Predictive Value 97% (95% CI 91.1-99.3), Positive Predictive Value 88% (95% CI 71.0-96.5).
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunoassay; Direct Sampling Micro-filtration technology. Components: Dacron fleece sample collector, plastic test cassette, buffered salt solution with proteins/detergents/preservatives. Colloidal gold-labeled monoclonal antibody detection. Single-use, sterile. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional use in patients presenting with symptoms of acute conjunctivitis to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of Adenoviral infection. Not intended to rule out other microbial-caused infections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Adenovirus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to adenovirus in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of adenovirus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye and are used to identify adenoviruses directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by adenoviruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Adenovirus infections may cause pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat), acute respiratory diseases, and certain external diseases of the eye (e.g., conjunctivitis).

I. Device Description:
The RPS Adeno Detector Plus™ consists of three (3) parts: a Sample Collector, an immunoassay test strip in a plastic Test Cassette housing, and a Buffer. The Sample Collector is used to take a sample of ocular fluid. The separately packaged and sterile Sample Collector has a contoured end with a Dacron fleece to collect the samples. The plastic housing of the Test Cassette body protects the strip from unintended physical influence. Additionally the housing guarantees correct sample transfer onto the lateral flow assay strip. The Buffer is a buffered salt solution containing proteins, detergents and preservatives. The Buffer functions as the solution that initiates the test, extracts the Adenoviral proteins, filters unwanted cellular debris, and transports the immune complex and the control conjugate to the Test and Control Lines on the test strip membrane.
The RPS Adeno Detector Plus utilizes Direct Sampling Micro-Filtration technology. Adenoviral antigen, the conserved Adenovirus hexon protein, when present in the patient sample is captured between two antigen specific monoclonal antibodies. One antibody is immobilized in the detection zone of the device. The second antibody is labeled with colloidal gold. The detector is a disposable, rapid test requiring 10 minutes for a result.

L. Test Principle: Lateral Flow Immunoassay
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision: Samples were prepared in stabilizing buffer with purified Adenovirus hexon protein. Eight samples containing weak positive, weak negative, Positive and Negative controls were tested. At one site, 160 additional tests consisting of eight samples containing weak positive, weak negative, Positive and Negative controls were tested over 20 operating days. The inter-assay precision to detect positive and negative samples was 100% although the strength of the signal varied for the weak positive samples.
{3}
Reproducibility: Samples were prepared in stabilizing buffer with purified Adenovirus hexon protein. Eight samples containing weak positive, weak negative, Positive and Negative controls were tested. A total of 162 tests were performed at 3 sites over 3 consecutive days. The inter-assay precision to detect positive and negative samples was 100% although the strength of the signal varied for the weak positive samples.
Batch to batch reproducibility was tested with three different Adeno Detector Plus batches. There was no variability among the three batches as assessed by testing in triplicates with seven different concentrations of Hexon ranging from 0 to 48 ng/ml.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range: Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): Not applicable
d. Detection limit: All human Adenovirus serotypes contain the hexon protein that is detected by the RPS Adeno Detector Plus. The antibodies target a conserved region of the hexon protein universal to all Adenovirus serotypes. In the laboratory, RPS tested serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 14, 19, 31, 37 and demonstrated a positive antigen-antibody reaction. The detection limit of the RPS Adeno Detector Plus was measured by serial dilutions of the Adenovirus hexon protein and found to be 6 ng/ml or 60 pg per test and this is estimated to be equivalent to 40-50 Adenoviruses.
e. Analytical specificity: Various infectious pathogens generated in cell culture and important for conjunctivitis were tested in the laboratory to determine potential cross-reactivities with RPS Adeno Detector Plus:
Echovirus Type 6 Culture Fluid
Parainfluenza Type 2
Parainfluenza Type 3
Haemophilus influenzae
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Staphylococcus aureus
Parainfluenza Type 1
Moraxella catarrhalis
Echovirus Type 11
Rhinovirus Type 1A

All isolates were cultured from human specimens. The concentrations of the suspensions were between 500,000 and 1,500,000 microorganisms (virus, bacteria) per ml. No positive test lines developed, and no cross-reactivities to these microorganisms occurred when 10μl of the culture suspension was tested.
