The assay is not intended to be used for prenatal screening or for screening blood or blood products.

Device Story

The HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on the ELITe InGenius system. It processes swab specimens from cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesions. The system automates nucleic acid extraction using the ELITe InGenius SP 200 Extraction Cartridge, followed by real-time PCR amplification of HSV-1 (glycoprotein D gene) and HSV-2 (glycoprotein G gene) DNA. An internal control monitors for inhibition. The device provides qualitative results to clinicians to aid in the differential diagnosis of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. It is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. The output assists healthcare providers in confirming infection status, which informs clinical management and treatment decisions for patients presenting with herpetic lesions.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance was evaluated using 1,174 prospectively collected archived swab samples compared to a composite reference method (FDA-cleared PCR and sequencing). For HSV-1, PPA was 98.7-99.2% and NPA was 97.6-98.5%. For HSV-2, PPA was 96.2-97.6% and NPA was 98.2-98.6%. Reproducibility was assessed across 3 sites with >630 samples, showing high agreement. Analytical studies included LoD, inclusivity, cross-reactivity, and interference testing.

Technological Characteristics

Qualitative real-time PCR assay. Targets HSV-1 glycoprotein D and HSV-2 glycoprotein G genes. Uses fluorescent-labeled oligonucleotide probes. Automated extraction and amplification on the ELITe InGenius system (1-12 parallel tracks). Benchtop form factor. Software-controlled processing. Internal control (randomized DNA sequence) included.

Device Descriptions ### HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay The HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic Real-Time PCR Assay for the direct detection of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) DNA (glycoprotein D gene for HSV-1 and glycoprotein G gene for HSV-2) in symptomatic male and female patients using DNA purified from swab specimens collected from individuals with cutaneous or mucocutaneous herpetic lesions. The HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay system is comprised of three major processes: (1) automated preparation of unprocessed sample to extract nucleic acids from primary swab specimens using the ELITe InGenius SP 200 Extraction Cartridge, (2) PCR amplification of target DNA sequences using HSV-1 and HSV-2 specific primers, and (3) real-time detection of fluorescent-labeled HSV-1 and HSV-2 specific oligonucleotide detection probes. An Internal Control (IC), containing unrelated randomized DNA sequence, is added to all samples prior to extraction and monitors the integrity of the reagents, equipment function, and the presence of inhibitors in the samples. A positive signal in the Internal Control channel in the absence of HSV DNA indicates that the PCR has not been inhibited. The amplification reagents, Positive Control and Internal Control are packaged as part of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. #### 8.

Instrumentation/Software: The HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay is used on the ELITe InGenius system. The ELITe InGenius system is a bench top instrument integrating all required hardware, reagent and software components to perform nucleic acid sample preparation and real-time PCR operations. The ELITe InGenius system can process from 1 to 12 samples in 12 parallel tracks, and samples may be loaded in primary tubes or in secondary tubes provided. The system utilizes a universal, cassette-based process for sample extraction, and allows for multiple and independent PCRs to be performed from a single nucleic acid eluate. The system can operate in three different modes: nucleic acid extraction only, PCR amplification only, or nucleic acid extraction with PCR amplification. #### 10 Performance Characteristics - Analytical Performance ### a. Limit of Detection The analytical sensitivity of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was determined using 4 HSV strains (two for each target). Quantitated viral strains were obtained and diluted with HSV neqative pooled human cheek matrix in Universal Transport Medium (UTM) to values spanning the range of approximately .05 to 1000 TCIDsg/mL (depending on the strain). All dilutions were tested, and the limit of detection (LoD) was determined using Probit (Logit) Data Analysis software (Analyse-it for Microsoft Excel v4.80.2, Logistic Function model). LoD for each strain represents the lowest viral titer in TCID50/mL at which a positive result will be obtained with at least 95% confidence. LoD for each strain was then verified by testing at least 20 replicates. Results indicate that, depending on the strain, the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay will produce a positive result with 95% confidence for a swab eluate containing 59 (HSV-1; HSV-1 MacIntyre Strain) and/or 5.4 (HSV-2; HSV-2 MS Strain) TCIDg6/mL. | Organism | Isolate/Strain | Cell Line | Qualitative results #detected/Total | Mean CT ±SD from detected replicates | 1×LoD TCID50/mL | |----------|------------------------------|--------------|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|--------------------| | HSV-1 | MacIntyre strain | Vero | 20/20 | 37.91 ± 0.69 | 59.0 TCID50/mL | | HSV-1 | Isolate #15 (Zeptometrix) | Vero | 20/20 | 39.94 ± 0.95 | 1.5 TCID50/mL | | HSV-2 | MS strain | Vero | 20/20 | 37.90 ± 0.92 | 5.4 TCID50/mL | | HSV-2 | Isolate #2 (Zeptometrix) | Vero | 20/20 | 38.67 ± 1.03 | 0.3 TCID50/mL | # Limit of Detection Results A swab elution efficiency study was also performed by using the same HSV negative pooled human cheek swab matrix and the HSV-1 MacIntyre strain used to verify the LoB. This study showed 100% elution efficiency from the Copan reqular flocked swab compared with the same volume of material directly spiked into UTM. Therefore, LoD values in TCID56/mL units will be directly proportional (with a constant = 1) to the LoD in TCIDs /swab units, depending only on the volume of the media in the collection device. # b. Assay Cut Off {7}------------------------------------------------ The assay cut-off analysis was performed on a separate set of 141 clinical samples collected from 3 clinical sites. Each clinical sample was evaluated using HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay in conjunction with the ELITe InGenius instrument and a composite reference method (FDA-cleared real-time PCR assay combined with PCR amplification and bidirectional sequencinq). Both targets in clinical samples were detected up to cycle 45. Therefore C- of 45 was established as a diagnostic assay cut-off for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 targets. ## c. Analytical Reactivity (Inclusivity) Performance of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was tested on 44 well characterized HSV-1 and HSV-2 isolates, which were obtained through commercial means. All strains were tested with the HSV 1&2 ELITE MGB Assay as spiked samples in UTM that had been prepared at 3×LOD level (177 TCIDsp/mL for HSV-1 and 16.2 TCID50/mL for HSV-2). For HSV-1 and HSV-2 viral isolates not detected (negative) at 3×LoD concentrations, 2× incremental concentrations were tested, and the lowest detectable level was determined, and the final test concentration is reported. All of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 tested isolates were detected by the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay at concentrations of 16.2 - 354 TCID50/mL | # | Isolate | Estimated 1×LoD (TCID50/mL) | ×LoD Tested | Final Test Conc.

Analytical Specificity (Cross-Reactivity) To determine if there are any organisms that could be potential cross-reactive with the HSV 1&2 ELITE MGB Assay the NCBI BLAST in silico (computer) analysis of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 amplicons was performed. Found sequence homology in both the primer and probe regions was not sufficient for HSV1&2 ELITe MGB Assay to potentially cross-react with the non-HSV organisms. Potential cross-reactivity of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was then evaluated by testing varied species of organisms that are closely related to HSV or cause similar clinical symptoms or may be present in the anogenital and oral cutaneous and mucocutaneous sites tested by this device. 49 potential cross reactants were evaluated. For each organism, the sample to be tested was prepared from quantified stock diluted to the required concentration using UTM. The potential cross reactants were tested, the concentrations were evaluated and the results are presented in the following table: | No. | Potential Cross-Reactants | Tested Concentration | Qualitative Result (#Detected/#Total) | |-----|---------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------------| |-----|---------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------------| {9}------------------------------------------------ | | | | HSV-1 | HSV-2 | |----|----------------------------------------------------|------------------------|-------|-------| | 1 | Acinetobacter calcoaceticus | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 2 | Acinetobacter lwoffi | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 3 | Adenovirus type 2 | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 4 | Bacteroides fragilis | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 5 | Candida albicans | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 6 | Candida glabrata | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 7 | Candida guilliermondii | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 8 | Candida krusei | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 9 | Candida lustaniae | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 10 | Candida parapsilosis | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 11 | Candida tropicalis | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 12 | Chlamydia trachomatis | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 13 | Cytomegalovirus | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 14 | Enterobacter cloacae | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 15 | Enterovirus | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 16 | Epstein-Barr Virus | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 17 | Escherichia coli | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 18 | Fusobacterium nucleatum | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 19 | Gardnerella vaginalis | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 20 | Haemophilus ducreyi | 1×106 CFU/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 21 | Human Genomic DNA | 500 ng/swab | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 22 | Human Herpes Virus 6 | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 23 | Human Herpes Virus 7 | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 24 | Human papilloma virus 16 | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 25 | Human papilloma virus 18 | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | | 26 | Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1), isolate 20, ZMC | 1×105 TCID50/mL | 3/3 | 0/3 | | 27 | Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2), isolate 20.

The microbial interference was evaluated in the presence of either HSV-1 or HSV-2 spiked at 3×LoD in UTM and the 49 organisms indicated in the table above. Each microorganism was tested either at 1×10° CFU/mL or higher for bacterial isolates, or at 1×10° TCID30/mL or higher for viruses. None of the non-target organisms that are reasonably expected to be found in cutaneous and mucocutaneous swab samples interfered with the detection of HSV-1 or HSV-2 species. The only exception is that amplification of HSV-1 is completely inhibited in the presence of HSV-2 in titers of 1×103 or higher. This observed HSV-2 interference is reported as a limitation in the device package insert. #### Competitive Interference of HSV-1 and HSV-2 f. Competitive interference was studied to evaluate the effects of possible clinically relevant coinfection with both HSV-1 and HSV-2 using HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. The study assessed whether a high concentration of one virus in the sample could potentially affect the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay performance for the other target present at low levels. A low positive sample was contrived at approximately 3×LoD for each target (HSV-1 MacIntyre strain and HSV-2 MS strain), and a baseline Ct was determined for each sample. Each potential concomitant infecting virus was spiked into the low level sample and assaved triplicate. in Competitive interference of HSV-1 with HSV-2 was observed at 1×10°, 1×10°, 1×10° TCIDss/mLHSV-2 level. This observed interference information is included as a limitation in the device package insert. No competitive interference of HSV-2 with HSV-1 at any level was observed. The results of the testing are shown in the table below. | Baseline (Low Level) | | Competitive Interferent (High Concentration) | | Qualitative Results (#Detected/#Total) | | |----------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|-------| | Strain | Concentration (TCID50/mL) | Strain | Concentration (TCID50/mL) | HSV-1 | HSV-2 | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 | HSV-2 MS | 100000 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 | HSV-2 MS | 10000 | 1/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 | HSV-2 MS | 1000 | 1/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 | HSV-2 MS | 100 | 3/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 | HSV-2 MS | 0 | 3/3 | 0/3 | | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 100000 | 3/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 10000 | 3/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 1000 | 3/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 100 | 3/3 | 3/3 | | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 0 | 0/3 | 3/3 | ### Competitive Interference of HSV-1 and HSV-2 targets at unequal concentrations Additionally, in a separate study both strains were tested at similar or equal concentrations of 3×LoD, 1×103 and 1×105, and no competitive interference was observed. | HSV-1 Concentration | HSV-2 Concentration | Qualitative Results (#Detected/#Total) | Quantitative Results (%CV) | |---------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------| |---------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------| {11}------------------------------------------------ | Strain | TCID50/mL | Strain | TCID50/mL | HSV-1 | HSV-2 | HSV-1 | HSV-2 | |--------------------|---------------|----------|---------------|-------|-------|--------|--------| | HSV-1 MacIntyre | $1\times10^5$ | HSV-2 MS | $1\times10^5$ | 5/5 | 5/5 | 3.02 % | 1.64 % | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | $1\times10^3$ | HSV-2 MS | $1\times10^3$ | 5/5 | 5/5 | 1.09 % | 2.95 % | | HSV-1 MacIntyre | 177 (3×LoD) | HSV-2 MS | 16.2 (3×LoD) | 5/5 | 5/5 | 1.74 % | 1.88 % | # g. Interfering Substances The performance of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was evaluated with potentially interfering substances that could be encountered in lesion swab specimens obtained from cutaneous and mucocutaneous locations. A total of 33 substances were individually spiked into negative UTM matrix containing one of each HSV-1 and HSV-2 isolates at 3X LoD level and tested in triplicate with the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. There were no invalid result calls. No interference was observed (see table below). | Potential Interferent | Interferent Concentration | #Detected/#Total HSV-1 | #Detected/#Total HSV-2 | IC | |----------------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|-----| | Whole blood with EDTA | 5% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Buffy coat | 5% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Acyclovir | 2.5 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Albumin | 5 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Casein | 7 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Female urine | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Male urine | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | K-Y Brand jelly | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Douche | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Spermicide | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Yeast-Gard | 1% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Monistat 1 | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Monistat 3 | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Vagisil Cream | 1% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Tioconazole 1 | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Rite Aid Feminine Wash, Sensitive Skin | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Clotrimazole-7 vaginal cream | 1% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Oral Analgesic Gel | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Listerine antiseptic mouthwash | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Abreva | 10% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Carmex lip balm | 1% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Releev cold sore treatment | 1% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Lip Clear lysine | 1% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Toothpaste | 5% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Acetaminophen | 5 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Wal-Finate | 5 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Cold-Eeze | 7% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Non-GMO Corn Starch | 1.25 mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Zinc Oxide Ointment | 7% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Cough DM | 10mg/mL | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Lanacane Max Strength anti-itch cream | 7% w/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Seminal fluid | 7% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | | Foscarnet sodium | 5% v/v | 0/3 | 0/3 | 3/3 | {12}------------------------------------------------ ## h. Carry-Over Contamination The sample-to-sample carry-over from positive samples into the negative samples for the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was studied by performing 5 integrated checkerboard runs (high positive for HSV-1 at 2.5×10′ TCIDso/mL concentration and negative samples (UTM) interspersed), which were compared to the overall contamination level ("background noise") of 2 negative sample runs. One operator ran 7 runs (5 checkerboard runs and 2 complete neqative runs). The High positive sample concentration in this study were high enough to exceed 95% or more of the concentration levels obtained from specimens of infected patients in the intended use population. No carry-over and cross contamination was observed. Overall percent agreement was 100% for positive and negative samples. | Run description | Positive Samples # Neg | % Neg. | Negative Samples # Pos. | % Pos. | |----------------------|---------------------------|--------|----------------------------|--------| | Run #1, BLANK | 0 / 0 | NA | 0 / 10 | 0 % | | Run #2, Checkerboard | 0 / 5 | 0 % | 0 / 6 | 0 % | | Run #3, Checkerboard | 0 / 6 | 0 % | 0 / 6 | 0 % | | Run #4, BLANK | 0 / 0 | NA | 0 / 10 | 0 % | | Run #5, Checkerboard | 0 / 6 | 0 % | 0 / 6 | 0 % | | Run #6, Checkerboard | 0 / 6 | 0 % | 0 / 6 | 0 % | | Run #7, Checkerboard | 0 / 6 | 0 % | 0 / 6 | 0 % | | All runs | 0 / 29 | 0 % | 0 / 50 | 0 % | Carry-Over and Cross-Contamination Results ### Sample Stability i. This study assessed both sample stability and sample freeze-thaw stability. The samples for the stability evaluation were prepared by spiking both the HSV-1 and HSV-2 vendor quantitated viral stocks (HSV-1 MacIntyre strain and HSV-2 MS strain) in UTM, M4, M4RT, M5 and M6 media. Each stability sample set consisted of: - 5 replicates spiked at 3×LoD. . - 5 replicates spiked at 1×103 TCIDso/mL, and ● - 5 replicates spiked at 1×10° TCIDso/mL (15 replicates total for each sample set). . The stability of each sample set was assessed by sample incubation at +4°C for 1 week. All HSV-1 and HSV-2 samples were confirmed to be stable in UTM, M4, M4RT, M5 and M6 media for 1 week at +4°C. The storage conditions were also validated by re-testing previously analyzed clinical samples that were stored in a -80°C freezer (≤ -70°C) for minimum of 4 months. Sample concentrations covered HSV clinical range. Ten HSV-1 or HSV-2 positive samples were tested for each media (except M6 for which only 7 HSV-positive samples were available). Positivity of all samples was confirmed after 4 month storage in a -80°C freezer (≤ -70°C). A freeze thaw study was performed using 5 sample sets prepared as in the above using UTM, M4. M4RT, M5 and M6 media. All samples were subjected to 3 freeze-thaw cycles. All the samples were tested with the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay on the ELITe InGenius. The data obtained show that HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses are stable after 3 freeze-thaw cycles in UTM, M4, M4RT, M5 and M6 media. #### Matrix Comparison Study - Since all analytical studies were conducted in the UTM (Universal Transport Media) and clinical studies were conducted using UTM, M4, M4RT, M5 and M6 media, the matrix comparison study was performed. The matrix comparison study was conducted using contrived sample panel made by spiking either HSV-1 or HSV-2 quantitated viral organisms {13}------------------------------------------------ into each of the recommended media: UTM, M4, M4RT, M5 and M6. Each sample set consisted of 3 replicates spiked at 3×LoD, 3 replicates spiked at 1×10° TCIDsomL, and 3 replicates spiked at 1×10 TCID50/mL (9 replicates total for each sample set). Each sample was processed on the InGenius using the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. All replicates in all media were detected and showed comparable results. | Target/ Channel | Sample Titer TCID50/mL | UTM, Avg CT | Sample Matrix | | | | All Media Avg CT | All Media StDev | All Media %CV | |------------------------|------------------------------|----------------|---------------|-----------------|---------------|---------------|------------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| | | | | M4, Avg CT | M4RT, Avg CT | M5, Avg CT | M6, Avg CT | | | | | HSV-2 CH1, FAM | 1.00E+05 | 27.15 | 26.76 | 26.42 | 26.82 | 27.23 | 26.88 | 0.33 | 1.21% | | | 1.00E+03 | 33.86 | 33.59 | 33.76 | 33.51 | 34.15 | 33.77 | 0.25 | 0.74% | | | 3×LoD | 36.32 | 35.56 | 35.96 | 35.54 | 36.14 | 35.91 | 0.35 | 0.97% | | HSV-1 CH4, AP593 | 1.00E+05 | 22.02 | 21.13 | 20.82 | 20.77 | 20.63 | 21.08 | 0.56 | 2.66% | | | 1.00E+03 | 28.01 | 28.47 | 27.97 | 28.58 | 26.72 | 27.95 | 0.74 | 2.64% | | | 3×LoD | 35.84 | 36.07 | 37.02 | 35.43 | 34.69 | 35.81 | 0.86 | 2.39% | All tested media showed comparable performance. ### k. Reagent Stability The stability of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was evaluated using several different methods. # Real-time Stability A real-time stability was completed over a 12 month time period and the data support a shelf-life claim of 10 months for the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. ## Freeze-thaw Stability Three lots of HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay reagents were thawed, opened and held for a period of one hour at 30°C and then re-frozen by re-capping and replacing in ≤ -20°C (nominal) freezer. This cycle was repeated 8 times (once per day). Results show that the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay is stable when subjected to 8 freeze-thaw cycles. #### 11. Performance Characteristics # a. Reproducibility The reproducibility of the HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay was evaluated in a multi-site investigation using contrived clinical samples. HSV test panels were prepared by spiking HSV-1 (Maclntyre strain) or HSV-2 (MS strain) virus into UTM media at the concentrations of <1× LoD, 1 × LoD and 3 × LoD. HSV-1 and HSV-2 neqative panel members were included as panel member controls. The reproducibility panel composition is shown in the table below: | Name | Description of Contents | Viral Load | Expected Positivity Rate | |------|---------------------------------------|------------|-----------------------------| | M1 | HSV-1 C50 (High Negative) in UTM | <1× LOD | 20-80% positive | | M2 | HSV-1 C95 (Low Positive) in UTM | 1× LOD | ≥95% positive | | M3 | HSV-1 C100 (Moderate Positive) in UTM | 2-3 × LOD | 100% positive | | M4 | HSV-2 C50 (High Negative) in UTM | <1× LOD | 20-80% positive | | M5 | HSV-2 C95 (Low Positive) in UTM | 1× LOD | ≥95% positive | | M6 | HSV-2 C100 (Moderate Positive) in UTM | 2-3 × LOD | 100% positive | | M7 | HSV Negative in UTM | Negative | 100% negative | {14}------------------------------------------------ Panels were tested at 3 sites by 2 operators per site with 1 run per operator per day, for 10 nonconsecutive days using a single lot of HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. Testing was performed on a minimum of 90 (30 per site) replicates per panel member for a total of >630 reproducibility samples (minimum 210 per testing site). Lot-to-Lot variability was assessed only at EGI MDx using 3 lots of HSV 1&2 ELITe MGB Assay. Controls were run daily and were included in the first run of the day. % Agreement, average Cts and %CV for each panel member and per each site are presented in the table below. | | | Site - 1 | | Site - 2 | | Site - 3 | | | | | | | |--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|---------------------|-----------------|-----------|---------------------|-----------------|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|---------| | | | % | | | % | | | % | | | % | | | | | Agree- | | | Agree- | | | Agree- | | | Agree- | | | | | ment with | | | ment with | | | ment with | | | ment with | | | | | Expected | Avg. | Total | Expected | Avg. | Total | Expected | Avg. | Total | Expected | | | Target | Sample | Results | Ct | %CV | Results | Ct | %CV | Results | Ct | %CV | Results | 95% Cl | | | HSV-1 | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | 95.9 to | | | Low Pos | (30/30) | 38.9 | 1.70% | (30/30) | 38.3 | 2.10% | (30/30) | 38 | 2.00% | (90/90) | 100.0% | | | HSV-1 | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | 95.9 to | | | Mod Pos | (30/30) | 36.4 | 1.30% | (30/30) | 35.5 | 5.20% | (30/30) | 35.6 | 1.50% | (90/90) | 100.0% | | | HSV-2 | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | 95.6 to | | | Low Pos | (30/30) a | NA | NA | (29/29) a | NA | NA | (30/30) a | NA | NA | (89/89) | 100.0% | | HSV-1 | HSV-2 | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | | | 100.0% | 95.9 to | | Result | Mod Pos | (30/30) ª | NA…
