Indications for Use
The Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur Inc. ACCESS® Chlamydia antigen and blocking assays are qualitative, paramagnetic-particle, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassays for the direct detection and verification of chlamydia antigen in adult male urethral, female endocervical, and male urine specimens, using the ACCESS® Immunoassay System.
Device Story
ACCESS® Chlamydia Reagents utilize paramagnetic-particle, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay technology on the ACCESS® Immunoassay System. Device processes clinical specimens (urethral, endocervical, urine) to detect Chlamydia antigen. System automates assay steps; provides qualitative results to clinicians. Used in laboratory settings to aid in Chlamydia diagnosis. Output assists healthcare providers in identifying infection, enabling timely patient treatment and management.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared ACCESS® Chlamydia to culture/DFA on 2092 urogenital and 572 male urine specimens. Sensitivity ranged 56-100%, specificity 99-100% across populations (high/low risk females, symptomatic/asymptomatic males). Concordance with Syva MicroTrak® II was 98.1% (urogenital) and 95.4% (urine). Precision testing reported total CVs of 11.9-21.1%.
Technological Characteristics
Paramagnetic-particle, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. Utilizes ACCESS® Immunoassay System platform. Qualitative detection method.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection and verification of Chlamydia antigen in adult male urethral, female endocervical, and male urine specimens.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Chlamydia serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to chlamydia in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of chlamydia antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify chlamydia directly from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Chlamydia and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Chlamydia are the causative agents of psittacosis (a form of pneumonia), lymphogranuloma venereum (a venereal disease), and trachoma (a chronic disease of the eye and eyelid).
