Spinal Muscular Atrophy Newborn Screening Test System

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) newborn screening test system is a prescription device intended to detect homozygous deletion of exon 7 or other similar mutations in the SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron 1) gene of DNA obtained from dried blood spot specimens on filter paper using a polymerase chain reaction-based test as an aid in screening newborns for SMA. Presumptive positive results are intended to be followed up by diagnostic confirmatory testing.
Physical State
May include a multiplex multigene qualitative gene region specific amplification detection test system. The device may include a use for newborn screening. Should not include devices using sequencing-based detection methods.
Technical Method
Uses a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify DNA variants located on specific targeted genes using non-sequencing-based methods or with specific nucleic acid sequencing-based detection methods. When using sequencing-based detection methods, variants are identified by comparison to a specified reference sequence.
