Indications for Use
The Panther Fusion® AdV/hMPV/RV assay is a multiplex real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid and qualitative detection and differentiation of Adenovirus (AdV), human Metapneumovirus (hMPV), and Rhinovirus (RV). Nucleic acids are isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection. This assay is intended to aid in the differential diagnosis of Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus infections in humans. Negative results do not preclude Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions. This assay is designed for use on the Panther Fusion system.
Device Story
Multiplex real-time PCR assay; detects Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs. Performed on Panther Fusion system; automated molecular diagnostic platform. Modification addresses software/algorithm revisions to mitigate false positive hMPV results in presence of high RV concentrations. Used in clinical laboratory settings; results interpreted by healthcare providers to aid diagnosis of respiratory viral infections.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of re-analysis of existing analytical and clinical data from the predicate device using the updated software algorithm. Results confirmed that the updated software maintains safety and effectiveness while improving hMPV specificity.
Technological Characteristics
Multiplex real-time PCR; magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction; fluorescence-based detection. System platform: Panther Fusion. Software: system version 7.2.7, assay version 2.3.5.4. Targets: AdV (Hexon), hMPV (Nucleocapsid), RV (5' UTR).
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals suspected of respiratory viral infection. Detects and differentiates Adenovirus, human Metapneumovirus, and Rhinovirus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Aids in diagnosis of respiratory infections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple viral nucleic acids extracted from human respiratory specimens or viral culture. The detection and identification of a specific viral nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. The device is intended for detection and identification of a combination of the following viruses:(1) Influenza A and Influenza B; (2) Influenza A subtype H1 and Influenza A subtype H3; (3) Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B; (4) Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus; (5) Human Metapneumovirus; (6) Rhinovirus; and (7) Adenovirus.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(1) FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Respiratory Viral Panel Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay;” (2) For a device that detects and identifies Human Metapneumovirus, FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Testing for Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) Using Nucleic Acid Assays;” and (3) For a device that detects and differentiates Influenza A subtype H1 and subtype H3, FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Testing for Detection and Differentiation of Influenza A Virus Subtypes Using Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assays.” See § 866.1(e) for the availability of these guidance documents.
