MDx-Chex for BCN Control 1 and Control 2 are composed of a buffered solution with stabilized erythrocytes and leukocytes in a matrix of blood culture media components. Control 1: gram-negative bacteria: Acinetobacter baumannii, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; genus: Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp.; antimicrobial resistance genes: KPC, NDM, and VIM. Control 2: gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella variicola, Morganella morganii, Serratia marcescens; family/genus: Enterobacteriaceae/Morganellaceae, Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Salmonella spp.; antimicrobial resistance genes: CTX-M, IMP, MCR, OXA, and SME. This product is not intended to replace manufacturer controls provided with the device.

Device Story

MDx-Chex for BCN is a ready-to-use liquid quality control kit; contains two controls (Control 1 and Control 2) composed of buffered solution with stabilized human erythrocytes, leukocytes, and inactivated bacteria; monitors assay performance for Gram-negative bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes; used in clinical laboratories to verify LIAISON PLEX Gram-Negative Blood Culture assay performance; processed like a patient sample; monitors entire assay workflow including lysis, nucleic acid isolation/purification, inhibitor removal, DNA hybridization, and detection; provides healthcare providers with confidence in assay accuracy; helps ensure reliable detection of pathogens and resistance genes; benefits patients by supporting accurate diagnostic results for blood culture testing.

Clinical Evidence

Three MDx-Chex for BCN lots, at least three LIAISON PLEX BCN test cartridge lots, and at least three operators were included in the study. Testing at each site consisted of 10 Level 1 and 10 Level 2 Control samples for each MDx-Chex for BCN lot for a total of 30 samples per control type (Level 1 and Level 2 control tubes), 60 samples per lot, tested on different days (2 tubes x 1 lot x 1 day, for 10 days and 3 different sites). A total of 180 runs (90 runs per MDx-Chex for BGN control type; control type = Level 1 and Level 2 controls) were generated for data analysis from all testing sites and all MDx-Chex for BCN lots. Controls were stored at 2C prior to testing. All MDx-Chex for BCN Control lots passed with $\geq 90\%$ agreement with expected results. Reproducibility data collected from three MDx-Chex for BCN Control Level 1 and Level 2 lots passed with $\geq 90\%$ positive agreement with expected results. Reproducibility data collected from three MDx-Chex for BCN Control Level 1 and Level 2 lots passed with $\geq 90\%$ negative agreement with expected results.

The within-run precision study was performed to assess performance of one MDx-Chex® for BCN lot, using the same DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN test cartridge lot tested on the same day with one DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX System. For the Lot-to-lot study, data from 10 Control Level 1 and Level 2 tubes, tested on the same DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX System, was used for data analysis for each control tube per MDx-Chex® for BCN lot (30 data points per control type) for a total of 60 data points from three MDx-Chex® for BCN lots. The within-run precision study consisted of 10 tests for each Control Level 1 and Level 2 tubes generated from one MDx-Chex® for BCN lot (total of 20 tests per control kit). For this study, closed-vial stability data was used to demonstrate the within-run precision. All MDx-Chex® for BCN Level 1 and Level 2 lots passed with ≥ 90% positive agreement with expected results. Similarly, all MDx-Chex® for BCN Control Level 1 and Level 2 lots passed with ≥ 90% negative agreement with expected results. The results support that MDx-Chex® for BCN is reproducible across three separately manufactured lots when used with the DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN Test. The results also demonstrate that there are no significant differences in results within runs of a control lot.

Note: Shipping data were collected within the 75-day CVS testing period. ## Matrix Effect A matrix effect study was completed to verify the simulated blood culture matrix does not have a negative impact on performance of the DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN assay and produced results consistent with contrived positive blood culture samples. To verify that the simulated blood culture matrix does not impact performance of the DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN assay, one lot of E. coli (3 x 10⁸ cells/mL final concentration) was spiked into MDx-Chex for BCN matrix and also into BD BACTEC Plus Aerobic/F culture medium supplemented with negative whole blood to simulate a clinical sample (note: spike-in concentration is within the clinical bottle positivity range of approximately 1 x 10⁷-1 10⁹ CFU/mL). The simulated samples were tested in triplicate using DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN test. Additionally, non-spiked simulated samples were tested in triplicate using BCN test serving as negative controls. The simulated positive MDx-Chex for BCN matrix and simulated positive clinical sample passed with ≥ 90% agreement for positive detection of analyte. The simulated positive MDx-Chex for BCN matrix and simulated positive clinical sample passed with ≥ 90% agreement for negative detection of analyte. The results demonstrate that MDx-Chex for BCN matrix has no effect on target detection (no inhibition and/or false negative results) when tested with the LIAISON PLEX system panel. Data was consistent with the results of simulated blood culture samples. 7002 S. 109th STREET, LA VISTA, NE 68128 P 800.843.0912 streck.com {17} STRECK Table 1: Comparison of MDx-Chex for BCN matrix and Clinical Sample matrix tested on DiaSorin LIAISON PLEX BCN Assay – Spiked-in samples | Matrix type | # Expected results / # tested 1 | Positive Percent Agreement | 95% Confidence Interval | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | MDx-Chex for BCN matrix + E. coli | 3/3 | 100% | 29 – 100% | | Clinical Matrix + E. coli | 3/3 | 100% | 29 – 100% | 1 Expected result for the Spiked-in matrices are positive for E. coli and CTX-M resistance gene.
