Intended Use

The BioStar® FLU OIA assay is an Optical ImmunoAssay (OIA) test for the qualitative, rapid detection of influenza A and B viral antigen (nucleoprotein) from nasal aspirate, nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs, or sputum specimens. This test is intended for in vitro use to aid in influenza A and B viral infections. The FLU OlA is not intended to detect influenza C. Negative test results should be confirmed by culture [isolation].

Device Story

The BioStar AB FLU OIA is an in vitro diagnostic test for rapid detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein. The device utilizes Optical ImmunoAssay (OIA) technology, which detects physical changes in the optical thickness of molecular thin films on a silicon wafer. Extracted specimen is applied to the surface where immobilized antibodies capture the target antigen; a substrate is added to increase film thickness (mass enhancement). This change alters the reflected light path, producing a visible color change (purple spot on gold background) interpreted by the clinician. The test is performed using a kit containing reagents, extraction tubes, and swabs. It provides qualitative results to aid in clinical diagnosis of influenza infections. Results are intended to be confirmed by cell culture. The device is designed for use in clinical settings to assist healthcare providers in managing patients with influenza-like symptoms.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance was evaluated in a three-site study of 184 symptomatic patients of all ages. The study compared the AB FLU OIA assay against 14-day cell culture. Sensitivity and specificity varied by specimen type: Nasal Aspirate (88.4% sensitivity, 69.4% specificity), Nasopharyngeal Swab (83.3% sensitivity, 76.2% specificity), Throat Swab (62.1% sensitivity, 79.5% specificity), and Sputum (81.1% sensitivity, 51.5% specificity). Analytical testing confirmed no cross-reactivity with a panel of bacterial and viral organisms and no interference from common substances like blood or mouthwash.

Technological Characteristics

The device utilizes Optical ImmunoAssay (OIA) technology based on the detection of physical changes in the optical thickness of molecular thin films on a silicon wafer. It is a manual, qualitative diagnostic test. The kit includes specimen extraction reagents, conjugate, wash, substrate, and controls. It does not involve electronic components, software, or external energy sources. The detection principle relies on antigen-antibody binding causing a visible color change on the optical surface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative, rapid detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigen in patients of any age or sex exhibiting influenza-like symptoms. Specimens include nasal aspirate, nasopharyngeal swab, throat swab, or sputum. Not indicated for influenza C detection. Negative results require confirmation by cell culture.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An influenza virus antigen detection test system is a device intended for the qualitative detection of influenza viral antigens directly from clinical specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The test aids in the diagnosis of influenza infection and provides epidemiological information on influenza. Due to the propensity of the virus to mutate, new strains emerge over time which may potentially affect the performance of these devices. Because influenza is highly contagious and may lead to an acute respiratory tract infection causing severe illness and even death, the accuracy of these devices has serious public health implications.

#### D. Description of device [§807.92(a)(4)}:

#### Principle of the Test:

The AB FLU OIA test involves the extraction and detection of a protein antigen unique to influenza A or B (nucleoprotein). The Opical ImmunoAssay technology enables the direction of a physical change in the optical thickness of molecular thin films. This change is a result of antigen-antibody binding on an optical surface (silicon wafer). When extracted specimen is placed directly on the optical surface, the immobilized specific antibodies capture the antigen. After washing, the substrate is added, increasing the thickness (Mass Enhancement) of the molecular thin film. This change in thickness alters the reflected light path and is visually perceived as a color change. Slight changes in optical thickness produce a distinct visible color change. A positive result appears as a purple spot on the predominant gold background. When antigen is not present in the specimen, no binding takes place. Therefore, the optical thickness remains unchanged and the original gold indicating a negative result

#### Analytical Specificity (Cross Reactivity):

To determine the analytical specificity of the AB FLU OIA test, the organisms and viruses listed in the bacterial and viral panels presented in the product package insert were grown in culture and tested at appropriate concentrations. A sample of each organism and virus was tested in duplicate. Cell density or viral titer was confirmed by plating an aliquot of suspension, growing the organism or virus, and counting the number of colonies or plaques formed. None of the organisms or viruses listed in the panels gave a positive result in the AB FLU OIA test.

#### Interfering Substances:

A variety of substances were obtained which interfere with the effectiveness of the AB FLU OIA test if encountered during the collection of specimens. Each substance was prepared in a manner and concentration so as to exceed the likely conditions and amounts found in situ. Each substance was tested in three independent analyses: In the absence of influenza virus, in the presence of only Influenza A (A/Hong Kong), and in the presence of only Influenza B (B/Panama). In addition, a saline control was tested in the same manner. All assays were run per the testing procedure described in the package insert. None of the specimens tested gave a positive signal when virus was not present in the sample. No decrease in signal strength was noted for either influenza A or B in the presence of either blood, or several commercially available mouth washes, throat sprays, cough lozenges, or cough/cold elixirs.

#### H. Summary of clinical testing [§807.92(b)(2)]:

The performance of the AB FLU OIA assay was compared to conventional methods for influenza culture in an cvaluation of clinical specimens. In a three-site study to compare the AB FLU OIA assay with culture, any combination of dual throat and dual nasopharyngeal swabs, nasal aspirate and sputum specimens were collected from 184 individuals exhibiting influenza-like symptoms. Patients of any age or sex were included in this study.

The influenza prevalence rate by site, as determined by confirmed culture from any speciment type, was 56.1% at site I (Rocky Mountain region), 56.9% at site 2 (Midwest region), and 41.0% at site 3 (Southwestern region). The table below summarizes the sensitivity and specificity of the AB FLU OIA test relative to 14-day culture for the four specimen types collected during the clinical study. The four specimen types identified in the table are nasal aspirate (NA), nasopharyngeal swab (NPS), throat swab (TS), and sputum (SP). For additional information regarding data collection and analysis, see the product package insert.

| D. Specimen Type | E. Relative Sensitivity | F. Relative Specificity |
|------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
| NA | 88.4 % | 69.4% |
| NPS | 83.3% | 76.2% |
| TS | 62.1% | 79.5% |
| SP | 81.1% | 51.5% |

1. Conclusions from nonclinical / clinical testing [§807.92(b)(3)].

In evaluating the cross reactivity of the AB FLU OIA test with organisms and viruses listed in the bacterial and viral panels presented in the product package insert, none of the organisms or viruses gave a positive result in the AB FLU OIA test. At levels exceeding those likely be encountered in situ during sample collection, neither blood, nor several commercially available mouthwashes, throat sprays, cough lozenges, or cough/cold elixirs interfered with the test. These results combined with the analytical sensitivity, along with the relative sensitivity and specificity calculated from the clinical study data demonstrate that the AB FLU OIA test is safe and effective.
