Indications for Use
The xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test intended for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using RVP: Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus, Human Metapneumovirus, Rhinovirus, and Adenovirus. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. It is recommended that specimens found to be negative for Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A and B, Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, Parainfluenza 3 and Adenovirus, after examination using RVP be confirmed by cell culture. Negative results do not preclude respiratory virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection, or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g. bacterial culture, immunofluorescence, radiography) and clinical presentation must be taken into consideration in order to obtain the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection. Due to seasonal prevalence, performance characteristics for Influenza A/H1 were established primarily with retrospective specimens. The RVP assay cannot adequately detect Adenovirus species C, or serotypes 7a and 41. The RVP primers for detection of rhinovirus cross-react with enterovirus. A rhinovirus reactive result should be confirmed by an alternate method (e.g. cell culture). Performance characteristics for Influenza A Virus were established when Influenza A/H3 and A/H1 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary. If infections with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to a state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
Device Story
xTAG RVP is a qualitative multiplex nucleic acid assay; processes nasopharyngeal swab samples to detect respiratory viral nucleic acids. Utilizes multiplex PCR and bead-based detection technology; identifies specific viral targets (Influenza, RSV, Parainfluenza, hMPV, Rhinovirus, Adenovirus). Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Output provides identification of viral pathogens to aid clinicians in diagnosis; results must be interpreted alongside clinical presentation and other laboratory findings. Benefits include rapid simultaneous identification of multiple respiratory viruses, facilitating appropriate patient management and infection control.
Clinical Evidence
Performance characteristics established using clinical specimens. Influenza A/H1 performance established primarily with retrospective specimens. Limitations noted regarding detection of specific Adenovirus species/serotypes and cross-reactivity of Rhinovirus primers with enterovirus. Clinical diagnosis requires correlation with additional laboratory testing and clinical presentation.
Technological Characteristics
Qualitative nucleic acid multiplex test; utilizes multiplex PCR and bead-based detection technology. Designed for use with nasopharyngeal swab specimens. Requires laboratory infrastructure for molecular diagnostic testing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of multiple respiratory viral nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals suspected of respiratory tract infections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A respiratory viral panel multiplex nucleic acid assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple viral nucleic acids extracted from human respiratory specimens or viral culture. The detection and identification of a specific viral nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection when used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings. The device is intended for detection and identification of a combination of the following viruses:(1) Influenza A and Influenza B; (2) Influenza A subtype H1 and Influenza A subtype H3; (3) Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B; (4) Parainfluenza 1, Parainfluenza 2, and Parainfluenza 3 virus; (5) Human Metapneumovirus; (6) Rhinovirus; and (7) Adenovirus.
