Intended Use

The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay performed on the BD MAX™ System is an automated qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization. The test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA DNA and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the detection of the amplified DNA. The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay is intended to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. It is not intended to diagnose, quide or monitor MRSA infections. A negative result does not preclude nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiological typing or for further susceptibility testing.

Device Story

The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay is an automated, qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on the BD MAX™ System. Input consists of nasal swab specimens collected in a Sample Buffer Tube. The system performs automated cell lysis, DNA extraction using magnetic beads, and concentration. Extracted DNA is amplified via real-time PCR using MRSA-specific primers. Detection utilizes fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes (TaqMan®) in two optical channels (FAM for MRSA, ROX for Sample Processing Control). The system automatically interprets signals based on fluorescence intensity. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid healthcare providers in MRSA infection control and prevention strategies. The device includes a Sample Processing Control to monitor for inhibitory substances and system failures. It does not diagnose, guide, or monitor active infections; concomitant cultures are required for further susceptibility testing.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective multi-site clinical study (n=1881 reportable specimens) compared BD MAX™ MRSA Assay to combined direct/enriched culture reference method. Sensitivity: 93.0% (95% CI: 87.9%, 96.0%); Specificity: 95.9% (95% CI: 94.8%, 96.7%). Negative Predictive Value: 99.3%; Positive Predictive Value: 67.3%. Initial unresolved rate was 0.5%, reduced to 0% after repeat testing.

Technological Characteristics

Automated real-time PCR assay. Uses magnetic affinity beads for DNA extraction, enzymatic cell lysis at elevated temperatures, and hydrolysis (TaqMan®) probes for detection. Employs two optical channels (FAM/ROX). System is a closed, automated platform. Reagents include MRSA-specific primers and Sample Processing Control (SPC).

Indications for Use

Indicated for the direct detection of MRSA DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An antimicrobial susceptibility test powder is a device that consists of an antimicrobial drug powder packaged in vials in specified amounts and intended for use in clinical laboratories for determining in vitro susceptibility of bacterial pathogens to these therapeutic agents.

### Device Description:

#### Intended Use:

The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay performed on the BD MAX™ System is an automated qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization. The test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA DNA and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the detection of the amplified DNA. The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay is intended to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. It is not intended to diagnose, quide or monitor MRSA infections. A negative result does not preclude nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiological typing or for further susceptibility testing.

#### Test Description:

A nasal specimen is collected and transported to the laboratory using the recommended swab. The swab is placed in a BD MAX™ MRSA Sample Buffer Tube. The Sample Buffer Tube is vortexed to release cells from the swab into the buffer. The Sample Buffer Tube is placed onto the BD MAX™ System and the following automated procedures occur: the bacterial cells are lysed, DNA is extracted on magnetic beads and concentrated, then an aliquot of the eluted DNA is added to PCR reagents which contain the MRSA-specific primers used to amplify the genetic target, if present. The assay also

includes a Sample Processing Control (SPC). The Sample Processing Control is present in the Extraction Tube and undergoes the extraction and amplification steps to monitor for inhibitory substances as well as process inefficiency due to instrument or reagent failure. No operator intervention is necessary once the clinical sample and reagent strip are loaded into the BD MAX™ System. The BD MAX™ System automates sample Ivsis. DNA extraction and concentration. reagent rehydration, nucleic acid amplification and detection of the target nucleic acid sequence using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amplified targets are detected with hydrolysis probes labeled with quenched fluorophores. The amplification, detection and interpretation of the signals are done automatically by the BD MAX™ System.

The BD MAX™ System uses a combination of lytic and extraction reagents to perform cell lysis and DNA extraction. Following enzymatic cell lysis at elevated temperature, the released nucleic acids are captured by maqnetic affinity beads. The beads with the bound nucleic acids are washed and the nucleic acids are eluted by heat in Elution Buffer. Eluted DNA is neutralized with Neutralization Buffer and transferred to the Master Mix Tube to rehvdrate PCR reagents. The reconstituted amplification reagent is dispensed into the BD MAX™ PCR Cartridge. Microvalves in the BD MAX™ PCR Cartridge are sealed by the system prior to initiating PCR to prevent evaporation and amplicon contamination.

The amplified DNA targets are detected using hydrolysis (TagMan®) probes labeled at one end with a fluorescent reporter dye (fluorophore) and at the other end with a quencher moiety. Probes labeled with different fluorophores are used to detect MRSA and SPC amplicons in two different optical channels of the BD MAX™ System: MRSA amplicons are detected in the FAM channel and SPC amplicons are detected in the ROX channel. When the probes are in their native state, the fluorescence of the fluorophore is quenched due to its proximity to the quencher. However, in the presence of target DNA, the probes hybridize to their complementary sequences and are hydrolyzed by the 5'-3' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase as it synthesizes the nascent strand along the DNA template. As a result, the fluorophores are separated from the quencher molecules and fluorescence is emitted. The amount of fluorescence detected in the two optical channels used for the BD MAX™ MRSA Assay is directly proportional to the quantity of the corresponding probe that is hydrolyzed. The BD MAX™ System measures these signals at the end of each amplification cycle, and interprets the data to provide a result.

### Substantial Equivalence:

The BD MAX™ MRSA Assay is substantially equivalent in performance to the BD GeneOhm™ MRSA ACP Assay (K093346).

#### Performance data:

Clinical performance characteristics of the BD MAX™ MRSA Assay were determined in a multi-site prospective investigational study. Four (4) investigational centers participated in the study.

The Comparative Reference Method consisted of direct culture complemented by enriched culture. Enriched culture analysis was completed for all specimens that were negative for MRSA by direct culture. Presumptive S. aureus colonies observed on. selective (S. aureus) chromogenic media were subcultured onto Blood Agar (BA). Identification was confirmed with an agglutination test, while Methicillin-resistance was confirmed by Cefoxitin disk (30μg) diffusion susceptibility testing. Enrichment in Trypticase Soy Broth with 6.5% NaCl (TSB 6.5% NaCl) was completed in the event that Methicillin-resistant S. aureus was not confirmed by the initial direct culture method. Turbid TSB 6.5% NaCl broth was used to inoculate additional chromogenic media and BA plates; MRSA confirmation was performed as described above.

Results obtained are summarized in Tables 1 to 5.
