Intended Use

The ViraZyme® Influenza ID test is a direct specimen test indicated for use in the qualitative detection of both influenza types A and B virus from throat swab specimens. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID test may be used when a patient is suspected of having symptoms of an influenza-like illness. These symptoms can include, but are not limited to the following: fever of 38.5℃, sore throat, headache, myalgia, rhinitis, vomiting, chills, malaise, and cough. A positive ViraZyme® result would indicate the presence of influenza type A or B virus. A negative result is considered presumptive and should be confirmed by culture. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID test does not detect influenza C, and is indicated for in Vitro Diagnostic Use only.

Device Story

Endogenous viral-encoded enzyme assay (EVEA) for influenza A and B detection; utilizes throat swab specimens. Principle: viral neuraminidase hydrolyzes modified N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) substrate coupled to chromogen; cleavage releases free chromogen, precipitating as blue color on filter device. Used in physician offices, clinics, laboratories, and hospitals; operated by physicians, nurses, or technicians. Visual output (blue precipitate) interpreted by healthcare provider to identify presence of influenza A or B. Negative results require culture confirmation. Benefits: rapid qualitative assessment of influenza-like illness.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical study of 157 throat swab specimens compared ViraZyme test to viral isolation/culture. Results: 62.2% sensitivity for influenza A/B (65.3% for A, 57.6% for B); 98.7% specificity (99.1% for A, 99.2% for B). Reproducibility testing at seven sites (physician offices, clinics, labs, hospitals) showed 100% correlation.

Technological Characteristics

Endogenous viral-encoded enzyme assay (EVEA). Employs modified Neu5Ac substrate coupled to chromogen. Manual filter-based precipitation method. Standalone diagnostic test kit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative detection of influenza A and B viruses in patients with influenza-like symptoms (e.g., fever, sore throat, headache, myalgia, cough). For in vitro diagnostic use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Influenza virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to influenza in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of influenza (flu) and provides epidemiological information on influenza. Influenza is an acute respiratory tract disease, which is often epidemic.

ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test for Influenza Types A and B Virus Appendix D - Safety and Effectiveness Summary

SEP 1 0 1997

# Appendix D Safety and Effectiveness Summary for ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test for Influenza Types A and B Virus

This information is provided as a summary of the safety and effectiveness of the ZymeTx, ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test for Influenza Types A and B Viruses. For more detailed information please refer to the product package insert.

The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test for Influenza Types A and B Viruses is an endogenous viralencoded enzyme assay (EVEA) and is intended for use in the qualitative determination of influenza types A and B from throat swab specimens. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test is not intended for the detection of influenza C.

Influenza types A and B virus possess surface glycoproteins with neuraminidase activity, that hydrolyze substrates which contain alpha-ketosidically linked N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). A modified Neu5Ac molecule has been synthesized and coupled to a chromogen to produce the neuraminidase substrate. In the presence of influenza types A and B virus the chromogenic substrate is then cleaved by the action of viral neuraminidase, releasing a free chromogen. This free chromogen precipitates to produce a blue color. The blue precipitate is then concentrated and collected from the reaction mixture onto a filter device.

### PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Clinical studies were performed using the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test for Influenza Types A and B Virus at seven separate locations throughout the United States. A portion of these sites conducted studies comparing the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test results obtained from standard culture confirmation with monoclonal antibodies. All seven of the sites conducted reproducibility studies to determine that the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test would perform similarly in various physician offices, laboratories, clinics and hospital settings.

A total of 157 throat swab specimens were collected from field sites during the 1995-96 influenza season between November 11, 1995 to March 29, 1996. Each of these specimens were tested by the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test and tested by the reference method of viral isolation and culture confirmation with monoclonal antibodies. Six physicians and their nurses and technicians, from two separate physician offices in a Southwest region participated in the collection and testing of ViraZyme® Test. Duplicate throat swab specimens were collected and transported by courier to a Southwestern viral testing laboratory for the culture portion of this testing.

Of the 157 specimens collected and tested, a total of 49/157 were positive by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method for influenza A (31%); 33/157 were positive by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method for influenza B (21%); 1/157 were positive by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method for parainfluenza type 1 (1%); 1/157 were positive by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method for adenovirus (1%); and 73/157 were negative by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method for the respiratory viruses (46%). No parainfluenza type 2 or 3, or respiratory syncytial virus were detected by the viral isolation and culture confirmation method during this study.

# SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY RESULTS Detection of Influenza Types A and B

The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test detected 51/82 (62.2%) of culture confirmed positives for influenza type A and type B from throat swab specimens. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test properly identified 74/75 (98.7%) of culture confirmed negatives for influenza types A and B virus from throat swab specimens.

#### Detection of Influenza Types A

The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test detected 32/49 (65.3%) of culture confirmed positives for influenza type A and type B from throat swab specimens. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test properly identified 107/108 (99.1%) of culture confirmed negatives for influenza type A virus from throat swab specimens.

#### Detection of Influenza Types B

The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test detected 19/33 (57.6%) of culture confirmed positives for influenza type B from throat swab specimens. The ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test properly identified 123/124 (99.2%) of culture confirmed negatives for influenza type B virus from throat swab specimens.

### VIRAZYME® INFLUENZA ID TEST RESPRODUCIBILITY

There was 100% correlation of results during the reproducibility testing of the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test at seven physician offices, clinics, research laboratories and hospital settings conducted during the 1996-97 influenza season. We believe that this adequately demonstrates that the ViraZyme® Influenza ID Test will perform similarly in various test environment settings in the hands of various personnel.
