The QuickVue RSV 10 test is an immunoassay that allows for the rapid, qualitative detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antigen directly from nasopharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens for symptomatic pediatric patients (less than six years old). The test is intended for use as an aid in the rapid diagnosis of acute RSV infection. Negative results do not preclude RSV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or for other management decisions. A negative test is presumptive. It is recommended that negative test results be confirmed by cell culture. The test is intended for professional and laboratory use.
Device Story
QuickVue RSV 10 is a lateral-flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of RSV antigen. Input: nasopharyngeal swab or aspirate/wash specimens. Operation: specimen interacts with lyophilized buffer containing detergents in a reagent tube; test strip inserted for 10 minutes. Principle: monoclonal antibodies specific to RSV antigen; positive result indicated by pink-to-red Test Line and blue procedural Control Line; negative result indicated by blue Control Line only. Used in professional/laboratory settings by clinicians/technicians. Output: visual qualitative result. Clinical utility: aids rapid diagnosis of acute RSV infection; negative results are presumptive and require confirmation by cell culture. Benefits: rapid identification of RSV in pediatric patients to guide management.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center clinical study (n=709) comparing QuickVue RSV 10 to viral cell culture/DFA. Nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash (n=331): 90% sensitivity, 96% specificity. Nasopharyngeal swab (n=378): 86% sensitivity, 95% specificity. Reproducibility studies across 5 labs showed inter-laboratory agreement of 99.1-100% and intra-laboratory agreement of 99.2-100%.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral-flow immunoassay dipstick. Reagents: lyophilized buffer containing detergents. Detection: monoclonal antibodies specific to RSV antigen. Procedural control: blue control line. Read time: 10 minutes. Specimen types: nasopharyngeal swab, nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash. Professional/laboratory use only.
Indications for Use
Indicated for symptomatic pediatric patients <6 years old for the rapid, qualitative detection of RSV antigen in nasopharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens as an aid in the diagnosis of acute RSV infection.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of respiratory syncytial virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) and used to identify respiratory syncytial viruses from clinical specimens or from tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses. Respiratory syncytial viruses cause a number of respiratory tract infections, including the common cold, pharyngitis, and infantile bronchopneumonia.

I. Device Description:
The QuickVue RSV 10 test employs lateral flow immunoassay technology. Using this test allows for the rapid detection of RSV antigens.
To begin the test, a lyophilized reagent must be rehydrated in the reagent tube. This reagent facilitates exposure of the appropriate viral antigens to the antibodies used in the test. For a liquid specimen such as a nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash, the specimen is added directly to the reagent tube and rehydrates the reagent. When nasopharyngeal swabs are used, the reagent is first rehydrated with the provided reagent solution and the swab specimen is then inserted into the reagent tube. This reagent interacts with the specimen and facilitates exposure of the appropriate viral antigens to the antibodies used in the test. The test strip is added to the reagent tube now containing the specimen and reagent solution.
If the extracted specimen contains RSV antigens, a pink-to-red test line, along with a blue procedural control line will appear on the test strip indicating a positive result. If RSV antigen is not present, or is present at very low levels, only a blue procedural control line will appear.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
ANALYTICAL SENSITIVITY AND LIMIT OF DETECTION
The QuickVue RSV 10 test was shown to detect two different isolates of RSV A and one isolate of RSV B. In a separate experiment, the limit of detection was determined to be approximately $7.9 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$ for RSV A and $8.3 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$ for RSV B.
ANALYTICAL SPECIFICITY AND CROSS REACTIVITY
A total of thirty-four (34) bacterial and fungal and thirty-five (35) viral isolates were tested in triplicate in the QuickVue RSV 10 test. None (i.e., 0/34 bacterial/fungal and 0/35 viral isolates) of the microorganisms tested at the levels indicated showed any sign of cross-reactivity in the assay. Flow of the sample and appearance of the Control Line were also not affected. These results (Tables 2 and 3) confirm high immunological specificity of the QuickVue RSV 10 test.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device: Not applicable
b. Matrix comparison: Not applicable
3. Clinical studies:
The performance of the QuickVue RSV 10 test was compared to viral cell culture methods and DFA in a multi-center clinical study during the RSV season in the United States. This study was performed by professional health care personnel at four distinct sites in various geographical regions within the United States. In this multi-center field trial, nasopharyngeal swabs and nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens were collected from seven hundred nine (709) patients. Three hundred seventy-eight (378) provided a nasopharyngeal swab specimen and three hundred thirty-one (331) provided a nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimen. All clinical samples were collected from symptomatic patients (5 years of age and younger). 60% were male and 40% were female.
On-site testing of one nasopharyngeal swab specimen, or a portion of nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimen, was performed by physician office personnel with the QuickVue RSV 10 test. All samples were freshly collected and tested. The remaining sample was placed in viral transport media. Cell culture was performed either at the laboratory of the test site or at a local, readily accessible virus laboratory. Cells were inoculated with the specimen, incubated at 35-37°C for 16-72 hours, and then removed from culture and tested for RSV by direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) staining.
## Results with Nasopharyngeal Aspirate/Wash Specimens
Nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens from three hundred thirty-one (331) patients were tested in QuickVue RSV 10 and in cell culture. The QuickVue RSV 10 test correctly identified 90% (62/69) RSV culture-positive specimens and 96% (251/262) RSV culture-negative specimens. These results are shown in Table 4.

# Results with Nasopharyngeal Swab Specimens
Nasopharyngeal swab specimens from three hundred seventy-eight (378) patients were tested in QuickVue RSV 10 and in cell culture. The QuickVue RSV 10 test correctly identified $86\%$ (60/70) RSV culture-positive specimens and $95\%$ (292/308) RSV culture-negative specimens. These results are shown in Table 5.

# REPRODUCIBILITY STUDIES
The reproducibility of the QuickVue RSV 10 test was evaluated at five different laboratories, one of which was Quidel. Three different operators at each site tested a series of coded, contrived samples, ranging from high negative to moderate positive. Each had been carefully seeded with graded doses of RSV. The inter-laboratory agreement (Table 6) for negative samples was 99.3 to $100\%$ and $99.1 - 99.8\%$ for positive samples. The intra-laboratory agreement (Table 7) for all samples ranged from 99.2 to $100\%$ .
