Indications for Use
The Lyra Influenza A+B Assay is a multiplex Real Time RT-PCR assay for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B viral RNA in nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. This test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A and influenza B viral infections in humans in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. The assay does not detect the presence of influenza C virus. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions. Performance characteristics for influenza A were established during the 2011 and 2013 influenza seasons when influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 influenza were the predominant influenza A viruses in circulation. When other influenza A viruses are emerging, performance characteristics may vary. 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 in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens. The assay can be performed using either the Life Technologies QuantStudio™ Dx, the Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Dx, or the Cepheid® SmartCycler® II.
Device Story
Multiplex Real Time RT-PCR assay; detects influenza A and B viral RNA. Input: nasal/nasopharyngeal swabs; RNA extracted via BioMerieux NucliSENS easyMAG or EMAG platforms. Process: single-tube RT-PCR; target-specific primers and fluorescent-labeled probes hybridize to conserved influenza A matrix protein gene and influenza B neuraminidase gene. Output: qualitative detection of influenza A and B. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by trained personnel. Results interpreted by healthcare providers to aid in differential diagnosis of respiratory infections; negative results do not rule out infection. Benefits: rapid, specific identification of influenza A/B to guide patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical equivalency study and Limit of Detection (LOD) equivalency study conducted. Verification activities confirmed the modified device met all predetermined acceptance criteria, demonstrating performance equivalent to the predicate device (K131728).
Technological Characteristics
Multiplex nucleic acid assay; utilizes nucleic acid extraction and amplification. Modification integrates bioMerieux EMAG system for extraction. Fundamental scientific technology remains consistent with previously cleared device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of Influenza A and Influenza B viral RNA in respiratory specimens.
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.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(1) FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Respiratory Viral Panel Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay;” (2) For a device that detects and identifies Human Metapneumovirus, FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Testing for Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) Using Nucleic Acid Assays;” and (3) For a device that detects and differentiates Influenza A subtype H1 and subtype H3, FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Testing for Detection and Differentiation of Influenza A Virus Subtypes Using Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assays.” See § 866.1(e) for the availability of these guidance documents.
