### A Intended Use(s):
cobas TV/MG on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems is an automated, qualitative in vitro nucleic acid diagnostic test that utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for the direct detection of *Trichomonas vaginalis* (TV) and *Mycoplasma genitalium* (MG) DNA in male or female urine, self-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens, and endocervical specimens, all collected in cobas PCR Media (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.). cobas TV/MG also detects TV DNA in cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt solution and MG DNA in self-collected meatal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting) and clinician-collected meatal swab specimens. This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of TV and MG infections in individuals suspected to have TV or MG infection.
A vaginal swab (self-collected or clinician-collected) is the preferred specimen type for MG testing in females due to higher sensitivity compared to endocervical swabs and urine. For males, urine is the preferred specimen type due to higher sensitivity compared to meatal swabs. If vaginal swab or male urine is not used and MG testing is negative, further testing with the preferred specimen type may be indicated if *M. genitalium* infection is strongly suspected.

# **IV Device/System Characteristics:**
# **A Device Description:**
cobas TV/MG on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems is an automated, qualitative *in vitro* nucleic acid diagnostic test for the direct detection of *Trichomonas vaginalis* (TV) and *Mycoplasma genitalium* (MG) DNA in male or female urine, self-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens, and endocervical specimens collected in cobas PCR Media. cobas TV/MG also detects TV DNA in cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution and MG DNA in self-collected meatal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting) and clinician-collected meatal swab specimens.
The DNA Internal Control, used to monitor the entire sample preparation and PCR amplification process, is introduced into each specimen during sample processing. In addition, the test utilizes external controls (low titer positive control and a negative control).
# **B Principle of Operation:**
cobas TV/MG is based on fully automated sample preparation (nucleic acid extraction and purification) followed by PCR amplification and detection. The cobas 6800/8800 Systems consist of the sample supply module, the transfer module, the processing module, and the analytic module. Automated data management is performed by the cobas 6800/8800 software which assigns test results for all tests as positive, negative, or invalid. Results can be reviewed directly on the system screen, exported, or printed as a report.
Nucleic acid from patient samples and added internal control DNA (DNA-IC) molecules is simultaneously extracted. In summary, nucleic acid is released by addition of proteinase and lysis reagent to the sample. The released nucleic acid binds to the silica surface of the added magnetic glass particles. Unbound substances and impurities, such as denatured protein, cellular debris, and potential PCR inhibitors are removed with subsequent wash steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted from the magnetic glass particles with elution buffer at elevated temperature. External controls (positive and negative) are processed in the same way with each cobas TV/MG run.
Selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of target-specific forward and reverse primers for TV and MG which are selected from highly-conserved
K190433 - Page 3 of 41
{3}
regions within the respective target organism. TV is detected by one selective set of primers and a probe, while MG is detected by using two sets targeting separate regions (dual-target). Selective amplification of DNA IC is achieved using sequence-specific forward and reverse primers which are selected to have no homology with either the TV or MG target regions. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for PCR amplification. The target and DNA-IC sequences are amplified simultaneously utilizing a universal PCR amplification profile with predefined temperature steps and number of cycles. The master mix includes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), instead of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA amplicon. Any contaminating amplicon from previous PCR runs is eliminated by the AmpErase enzyme, which is included in the PCR master mix, during the first thermal cycling step. However, newly formed amplicons are not eliminated since the AmpErase enzyme is inactivated once exposed to temperatures above 55°C.
The cobas TV/MG master mix contains one detection probe specific for the TV target sequence, two detection probes specific for the MG target sequences and one for the DNA-IC. The probes are labeled with target specific fluorescent reporter dyes allowing simultaneous detection of TV target, MG target, and DNA-IC in three different channels. When not bound to the target sequence, the fluorescent signal of the intact probes is suppressed by a quencher dye. During the PCR amplification step, hybridization of the probes to the specific single-stranded DNA template results in cleavage of the probe by the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase resulting in separation of the reporter and quencher dyes and the generation of a fluorescent signal. With each PCR cycle, increasing amounts of cleaved probes are generated and the cumulative signal of the reporter dye increases concomitantly. Real-time detection and discrimination of PCR products is accomplished by measuring the fluorescence of the released reporter dyes for the TV and MG targets and DNA-IC, respectively.

# **A Analytical Performance:**
# 1. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision:
The within laboratory precision of the cobas TV/MG assay was examined using a panel of samples composed of TV and MG strains diluted into the following backgrounds: 1. non-clinical matrix corresponding to vaginal swabs in cobas PCR media, 2. non-clinical matrix corresponding to meatal swabs in cobas PCR media, 3. non-clinical matrix corresponding to cervical swabs in PreservCyt Solution, and 4. negative urine mixed with cobas PCR media. Non-clinical matrices consisted of either cobas PCR media or PreservCyt solution with HCT-15 cells. In addition, 0.15% (w/v) mucin was added to the contrived vaginal and cervical swab specimens. Contrived vaginal swabs were intended to represent both swab specimen types (endocervical and vaginal) collected in cobas PCR Media. Four concentration levels of each analyte were tested using TV strain RP (ATCC 50143) and MG strain Jensen M30 (ATCC 30188) as the target organisms.
The precision panel for each of the matrices contained one negative panel member and panel members with high negative, low positive, and moderate positive concentrations of TV and MG, corresponding to 0.25X LoD, 1X LoD, and 3X LoD, in each panel matrix. Repeat testing of specimens with concentrations of 1X LoD are expected to yield positive results ≥95% of the time and specimens with concentrations of 3X LoD are expected to yield positive results ≥99% of the time. Testing was performed over 12 days with two runs per day for a total of 24 runs. Each run contained 3 replicates of each sample for each specimen type such that a total of 72 replicates were tested for each panel member. Two instruments and three lots of cobas TV/MG reagents were used during testing.
Study results demonstrated the expected percent agreement for all panel members. All negative panel members tested negative throughout the study. Analysis of standard deviation and percent coefficient of variation (CV) of the Ct values from valid tests performed on positive panel members yielded overall CV (%) ranges from 1.5% to 2.8% for TV and from 1.2% to 4.9% for MG. Detailed results for this study are presented in Tables 1-3 below.

## Reproducibility:
A Reproducibility Study was performed across different sites, lots, operators/batches, and days for cobas TV/MG using panels of pooled negative or contrived specimens prepared from vaginal swabs, penile meatal swabs, and urine, each in cobas PCR Media, and cervical specimens in PreservCyt Solution. Testing was performed at one in-house and two external sites. One 72-member panel consisted of the four sample matrices, with six combinations of analyte concentrations per matrix, and three replicates per concentration. Concentrations utilized were as follows, with positive panel members prepared by spiking both TV (strain RP) and/or MG (strain M30) into the respective TV/MG-negative background.
Table 4. Reproducibility Study Panel Members
| Panel Member | TV Level | MG Level |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Negative | Negative |
| 2 | ~ 0.3 × LoD (High negative) | ~ 0.3 × LoD (High negative) |
| 3 | ~ 1.0 × LoD | Negative |
| 4 | Negative | ~ 1.0 × LoD |
| 5 | ~ 3.0 × LoD | ~ 1.0 × LoD |
| 6 | ~ 1.0 × LoD | ~ 3.0 × LoD |
TV = Trichomonas vaginalis; LoD = Limit of Detection; MG = Mycoplasma genitalium
A batch was comprised of one 72-sample panel and two controls (one positive control and one negative control). Two operators at each site tested one batch each per day with each lot. Two valid batches were to be completed within a 24-hour period. Each site received two of
K190433 - Page 10 of 41
{10}
the three reagent lots and performed 6 days of testing per reagent lot for a total of 12 days of testing. For each combination of concentrations noted, a total of 216 replicates were tested in each specimen type (urine, vaginal swabs, penile meatal swabs, and PreservCyt cervical specimens) for a total of 1,296 tests performed, with 2 failed tests for MG from meatal swab specimens and 4 failed tests for TV for PreservCyt cervical specimens.
For TV, no false positive results were observed from either urine or PreservCyt specimen types, thus the negative percent agreement (NPA) was 100% for TV in these specimen types. The NPA for TV for vaginal swab specimens was estimated as 99.3%.
For MG, no false positive results were observed from either urine or vaginal swab specimen types corresponding to an NPA of 100%; for meatal swabs the estimated NPA was 99.8%.
For panel members with concentrations at or near the limit of detection (e.g., 1x LoD) of the test, the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the percentage of correct test results was at least 83.3% for TV and 96.7% for MG. For panel members with concentrations 3-times above the limit of detection (e.g., 3x LoD) of the test, the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the percentage of correct test results was at least 98.3% for both TV and MG (Table 5).

Assessed based on valid test results; LoD=Limit of Detection;
\( ^{a} \) Comparison of panel member average Ct values to those generated in LoD study suggest that panel members were prepared at concentrations lower than the LoD leading to hit rates of \( <95\% \) at 1x LoD
For each positive panel member, precision was evaluated by sample type in terms of lot, site, day, operator/batch within site, lot and day, and within-batch components on the corresponding analyte cycle threshold (Ct) values of cobas TV/MG.
### Trichomonas vaginalis results:
The range of the total coefficient of variation, among positive panel members, was from 1.2% to 2.7%. For all panel members, most of the variability ( \( \geq \) 75%) was explained by random error (within-batch).
Detailed results from testing are presented in Tables 6-9 as follows:

$^{c}$ Because only positive test results were included, estimates of SD (and CV%) may be underestimated.
$^{d}$ Comparison of average Ct values to those generated in LoD study suggest that panel members were prepared at concentrations lower than the LoD leading to hit rates of <95% at 1x LoD.
### Mycoplasma genitalium results:
The range of the total coefficient of variation, among positive panel members, was from 0.8% to 4.0%. The maximum total coefficient of variation was observed in the lowest concentration of positive panel members (0.3x LoD TV, 0.3x LoD MG) and most of that variability (75.8% for urine, 100% for vaginal swab and 83.7% for meatal swab) was explained by random error (within-batch).
Detailed results from testing are presented in Tables 10-13.

## 2. Linearity/reportable range:
Not applicable
## 3. Analytical Specificity/Microbial Interference:
A panel of 102 bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including those commonly found in the male and female urogenital tract, were tested with the cobas TV/MG assay to assess analytical specificity/cross-reactivity (see Table 14). Samples were spiked at concentrations of approximately 1 x 10$^{6}$ units/mL for bacteria and approximately 1 x 10$^{5}$ units/mL for viruses into pooled negative urine stabilized in cobas PCR Media. Testing was performed with each potential interfering organism alone as well as with each organism mixed with TV and MG spiked at approximately 3x LoD. Results indicated that none of these organisms produced false positive results in the TV/MG negative matrices. Detection of MG was not affected by any of the organisms tested; however, Trichomonas tenax interfered with detection of TV target at concentration levels above 1 x 10$^{4}$ CFU/mL. A limitation is included in the package insert.

# 4. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
# Controls:
External controls are provided in the cobas TV/MG Positive Control Kit and the cobas Buffer Negative Control Kit and are required to be included in each run. Validation of results is performed automatically by the cobas 6800/8800 software based on negative and positive control performance. Invalid batches require repeat testing of the entire batch. The TV/MG Positive Control contains non-infectious DNA plasmids of both TV and MG sequences and is used as a run control to monitor target amplification and detection. The cobas Buffer Negative Control Kit contains buffer with no nucleic acid.
In addition, a DNA Internal Control (DNA-IC) is introduced into each specimen during sample processing and monitors specimens for substances that may interfere with nucleic acid isolation and PCR amplification. The DNA Internal Control contains a non-TV/MG related DNA construct containing primer and probe specific sequence regions.

# Specimen stability:
Specimen stability during storage was evaluated for the following specimen types:
- Endocervical swabs collected in cobas PCR media
- Vaginal swabs collected in cobas PCR media
- Urine stabilized by cobas PCR media
- Cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution (primary and secondary containers)
- Meatal swabs collected in cobas PCR media
For swab and urine specimen types, for each specimen matrix and target tested, individual positive clinical specimens were diluted using five pools of negative clinical specimens to the concentration corresponding to 5x LoD of the cobas TV/MG. Due to lack of homogeneity of cervical specimens in PreservCyt, for TV, positive specimens were prepared using TV cultures; in addition, ten unique TV positive clinical cervical specimens with a defined range of Ct values (22-35) were included in testing. Testing was performed on the day of sample preparation and at several time points during the storage time period. Study results demonstrated that positive swab and urine samples remained positive for a minimum of 12 months when stored at both 2-8°C and 30°C. Matrix-only samples yielded the expected negative results for the same storage conditions. PreservCyt samples in the collection device were stable for up to 90 days when stored at both 2-8°C and 30°C; those transferred to secondary containers demonstrated stability for up to 31 days when stored at both 2-8°C and 30°C.
# 5. Detection Limit:
The Limit of Detection (LoD) of the cobas TV/MG test for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems was determined by analyzing a dilution series of quantified cultures of Trichomonas vaginalis (metronidazole resistant strain CDC085 and metronidazole susceptible strain RP) and Mycoplasma genitalium (strains G37 and Jensen M30). Co-formulated panels of TV strain CDC085 with MG strain G37 and of TV strain RP with MG strain Jensen30 were prepared in a matrix of pooled negative specimens for each specimen type:
- Endocervical swabs collected in cobas PCR media
- Vaginal swabs collected in cobas PCR media
- Urine stabilized by cobas PCR media
- Meatal swabs collected in cobas PCR media
- Cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution
TV and MG strain combinations were tested at a minimum of six concentration levels across three reagent lots, with 22-24 replicates for each positive level per reagent lot. Negative pooled specimens were confirmed as such through testing of 10 replicates per pool. The claimed LoD as established by the 95% Hit Rate Analysis represents the lowest concentration level which was detected in ≥ 95% of tested replicates and for which all higher concentration levels also had ≥95% detection. The LoD for TV strains CDC085 and RP and MG strains G37 and Jensen M30 for each matrix are as follows:

### Inclusivity:
Inclusivity and verification of the LoD were performed for eight TV and five MG strains using one lot of reagents. Specimen types evaluated were: a) vaginal swab specimens collected in cobas PCR media (intended to represent both endocervical and vaginal swab specimens), b) urine mixed with cobas PCR media, c) meatal swabs collected in cobas PCR media, and d) cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution. Initial inclusivity testing was performed using TV and MG cultures concurrently spiked to concentrations corresponding to approximately 3x LoD levels determined in the Limit of Detection study into pooled pre-screened specimens negative for both TV and MG. LoD verification was then performed in either pooled urine negative for both TV and MG or, for the other matrices, contrived negative matrix, with TV and MG spiked to concentrations corresponding to 1x LoD. Acceptance criteria required detection of at least three out of eight tested TV strains and three out of five tested MG strains at 1x LoD, with detection considered verified if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI for the hit rate exceeded 95%. Twenty-four replicates per dilution level were tested for each strain in each matrix. Results are shown in the Tables 16 and 17 below.

### 6. Assay Cut-Off:
An assay cut-off at Ct value = 50, where 50 is the last PCR profile cycle, was established for the cobas TV/MG for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems. Negative results occur when amplification does not occur after 50 amplification cycles and fails to result in adequate signal, such that no Ct value is reported. The cut-off was verified through analysis of TV and MG cycle threshold (Ct) value distribution for all specimens from the US clinical study and selected analytical studies, as evidenced by a clear distinction between the Ct values of positive results and the end of the PCR profile. Analytical studies were included in this assessment to enrich the dataset with results from samples with a low target concentration. Stability and interference studies data were not included in this analysis, since those studies are designed to stress the system thereby potentially producing invalid results.
Assessed for these studies as described, the difference between the latest Ct value in positive specimens and assay cut-off was 4.2 cycles for TV and 6 cycles for MG. For specimens from the clinical study only, to assess performance in a typical patient population, the difference between the latest Ct value in positive specimens and assay cut-off was 4.2 cycles for TV and 9.3 cycles for MG (shown below). The following graphs illustrate the distribution of Ct values from the clinical study.

## 7. Contamination:
Sample-to-sample and run-to-run cross-contamination studies were performed to evaluate potential cross contamination on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems using the cobas TV/MG assay. Contrived sample backgrounds were prepared with cobas PCR media (to represent swab specimens) and PreservCyt Solution (corresponding to cervical specimens). Positive samples were prepared by co-spiking TV and MG plasmids, targeting concentrations expected to generate Ct values earlier than those observed in 95% of positive results in the intended use population. Multiple runs consisting of a checkerboard pattern of positive TV and MG samples alternating with negative samples were performed, followed by a full run of TV and MG negative samples to assess run-to-run contamination. Four TV/MG negative samples out of 576 total negative samples tested positive for TV within the checkerboard runs, corresponding to a total sample-to-sample cross-contamination rate for TV of 0.7% (4/576). Sample-to-sample cross-contamination was not observed for MG. Run-to-run cross-contamination was not observed (0/188).
## 8. Competitive Inhibition Studies
To assess competitive inhibition between TV and MG, contrived specimens were tested with low and moderate concentrations of one target mixed with very high concentrations of the second target. Low and moderate concentrations were defined as ~1x LoD and ~3x LoD, respectively, and high concentrations were defined as generating a Ct value that was lower than the value observed in 95% of TV and MG positive clinical specimens. Positive test samples were prepared by spiking TV and MG cultures into negative matrices. Specimen types evaluated were: 1. urine mixed with cobas PCR media 2. non-clinical matrix corresponding to endocervical swabs in cobas PCR media (intended to represent both endocervical and vaginal swab samples), 3. non-clinical matrix corresponding to meatal swabs in cobas PCR media, and 4. non-clinical matrix corresponding to cervical specimens in PreservCyt Solution. Ten replicates of each panel member were tested.
Results indicated that TV was detected at and above the LoD in all specimen types even when MG was present at a high concentration. Results also indicated that when TV was present at a high concentration, MG was detected in all specimen types at and above LoD.
## 9. Interferences:
### Testing of Exogenous Substances:
Performance of the cobas TV/MG test for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems was evaluated in the presence of potentially interfering exogenous substances including over-the-counter products and prescription drugs that may be present in patient specimens. Specimen types evaluated were: a) vaginal swabs collected in cobas PCR media (intended to represent both endocervical and vaginal swab samples), b) urine mixed with cobas PCR media, c) meatal swabs collected in cobas PCR media, and d) cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution. For evaluating the effect of exogenous substances in the presence of TV and MG targets, testing was performed using negative background matrix prepared for each specimen type by pooling pre-screened specimens negative for both TV and MG. These specimen pools were co-spiked with TV and MG targets at ~3x LoD. Non-clinical (contrived) matrices were used to assess the impact of exogenous substances in the absence
K190433 - Page 28 of 41
{28}
of TV and MG targets. The applicable matrices were spiked with potential interferents at levels expected from normal patient usage. For each specimen type, three replicates of each sample were tested for the potential interferents in the presence of target organisms, except for Replens, RepHresh Clean Balance, and Metronidazole Vaginal Gel for which additional replicates were tested to assess observed interference. In addition, one sample for each specimen type was tested for each substance in the absence of target organisms.
Results of the study demonstrate that 18 of the 21 exogenous substances tested did not interfere with the performance of the assay for detection of TV and MG when tested at concentrations of 1% v/v (glacial acetic acid) or 1.0mg/mL. Replens Long-Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer, RepHresh Clean Balance and Metronidazole Vaginal Gel showed interference leading to false negative and invalid results in urogenital specimens at levels that may be present in patient specimens. Limitations are included in the package insert describing assay interference.

## Testing of Endogenous Substances:
Performance of cobas TV/MG was evaluated in the presence of elevated levels of potentially-interfering endogenous substances including whole blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and mucus. Sample types included in the study were: a) endocervical swabs collected in cobas PR media (intended to represent both endocervical and vaginal swab samples), b) urine mixed with cobas PCR media, c) meatal swabs collected in cobas PCR media, and d) cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution. Interferents were tested in TV/MG negative contrived matrices as well as in negative clinical specimen pools spiked with TV and MG at ~ 3x LoD. At least twelve replicates were tested in total for each substance per condition across all matrices.
None of the substances interfered with the test performance by generating false-negative or false-positive results. Levels of endogenous substances tolerated by the assay for all specimen types are shown in Table 20.

## B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:

2. Matrix Comparison:
A study was performed to demonstrate equivalence between clinical and non-clinical (simulated) matrices via a head-to-head LoD study. Simulated matrix consisting of cobas
K190433 - Page 30 of 41
{30}
PCR media and HCT-15 cells was used to represent endocervical swabs and meatal swabs. Such matrix with 0.15% (w/v) mucin added was used to represent vaginal swab specimens. Simulated cervical swab specimens consisted of PreservCyt solution with HCT-15 cells and 0.15% (w/v) mucin. Corresponding clinical matrix was created by pooling TV and MG negative clinical specimens. Co-formulated TV and MG panels were prepared by spiking a quantified stock solution with TV strain RP and MG strain Jensen M30 into the corresponding clinical and simulated matrices at six concentrations relative to the assay LoD: 2x LoD, 1x LoD, 0.5x LoD, 0.25 LoD, 0.125x LoD, and 0.0625x LoD. For each specimen type, and for both clinical and non-clinical matrices, 24 replicates were tested per concentration level and ten replicates were tested for the matrix which lacked both analytes.
The Probit estimate for 95% hit rate and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were determined for clinical and non-clinical specimen matrices for TV and MG. For all specimen types, the LoDs for clinical and non-clinical specimen matrices were similar and demonstrated overlapping 95% confidence intervals for the Probit estimate of the 95% hit rate. None of the negative panel members (matrix without the target analytes, clinical and non-clinical) tested positive for either analyte. For each of the contrived specimen types, TV and MG were detected in 100% of the 24 replicates either at 1x LoD or 2x LoD. These results demonstrate matrix equivalency for the purposes of the analytical studies conducted within this submission.
### C Clinical Studies:
The clinical performance of cobas TV/MG was established in a multi-site, prospective study by comparing the results to a Patient Infected Status (PIS) that used a combination of FDA-cleared TV NAATs, TV culture, and three validated laboratory developed MG NAATs. Female and male urogenital specimens were collected at ten geographically diverse sites in the US, which included family planning and obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) clinics and sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. The testing was performed at six laboratory testing sites (five external and one internal).
Female subjects provided the following urogenital specimens: first-void urine, five vaginal swabs, one endocervical swab in cobas PCR Media, and one cervical sample in PreservCyt Solution. If the female was in the clinician-collected vaginal swab arm of the study, the five vaginal swabs were placed in the respective transport media collection devices. If the female subject was in the self-collected vaginal swab arm of the study, then one vaginal swab was self-collected first and placed into cobas PCR Media, followed by four clinician-collected vaginal swabs placed in the respective transport media collection devices.
Male subjects provided the following urogenital specimens: 1 self-collected penile meatal swab (self-collection arm of the study) and first catch urine, or 1 clinician-collected penile meatal swab (clinician-collected arm of the study) and first catch urine. Each meatal swab was collected in advance of urine and was placed in cobas PCR media; urine was then collected from each subject and was placed in cobas PCR media and the respective transport media collection devices.
Subjects were classified as symptomatic if they self-reported (or if at the discretion of the examining physician were determined to have) symptoms indicative of a TV or MG infection, including:
