The Influenza A/B Typing Kit contains reagents and controls of the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel and is intended for use in real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assays on an Applied Biosystems (ABI) 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR instrument in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological information: - For qualitative detection of influenza virus type A or B from viral RNA in upper respiratory tract clinical specimens (including nasopharyngeal swabs [NPS], nasal swabs [NS], throat swabs [TS], nasal aspirates [NA], nasal washes [NW] and dual nasopharyngeal/throat swabs [NPS/TS]), and lower respiratory tract specimens (including bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL], bronchial wash [BW], tracheal aspirate [TA], sputum, and lung tissue) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and/or from viral culture: - To provide epidemiologic information for surveillance of circulating influenza viruses. Performance characteristics for influenza were established during a season when seasonal influenza viruses A/H1 and A/H3 were the predominant influenza A viruses in circulation and during a season when the A/H1 odm09 influenza virus was the predominant influenza A virus in circulation. Performance characteristics may vary with other emerging influenza A viruses. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Conversely, 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. If infection 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 state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens. All users, analysts, and any person reporting results from use of this device should be trained to perform and interpret the results from this procedure by a competent instructor prior to use. CDC Influenza Division will limit the distribution of this device to only those users who have successfully completed a training course provided by CDC instructors or designees.

SPECIAL 510(k): Device Modification
OIR Review Memorandum (Decision Making Document is Attached)
To: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
RE: K133869
This 510(k) submission contains information/data on modifications made to the SUBMITTER'S own Class II, Class III or Class I devices requiring 510(k). The following items are present and acceptable:
1. The name and 510(k) number of the SUBMITTER'S previously cleared device:
CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel
510(k) number: K132508
2. Submitter's statement that the INDICATION/INTENDED USE of the modified device as described in its labeling HAS NOT CHANGED along with the proposed labeling which includes instructions for use, package labeling, and, if available, advertisements or promotional materials (labeling changes are permitted as long as they do not affect the intended use).
3. Description of the device MODIFICATION(S):
The modification presented in this special 510(k) consisted of a revised package insert for the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, Influenza A/B typing kit. Recently, additional assays have been included in the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel and cleared by FDA to accommodate the new influenza virus subtypes. The consumption of the various assays within the panel may be different since the prevalence of influenza virus types and subtypes vary from season to season. To address the consequent variation in consumption, CDC plans to provide the users with an option to order different configurations of specific components of the panel (including the Influenza A/B typing in this special 510(k)) so that their supply of reagents can be managed efficiently minimizing the waste. The different components of CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel will be accompanied by revised labeling (package inserts) and the current submission is to clear the first component, i.e., Influenza A/B typing.
4. The FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY of the modified device has not changed.
