Indications for Use
FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 is intended for use as an external positive and negative assayed quality control to monitor the performance of in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing procedures for the qualitative detection of Adenovirus, Coronavirus, Human Metapneumovirus, Human Rhinovirus/ Enterovirus, Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza A subtype H1-2009, Influenza B, Parainfluenza Virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae on the FilmArray RP EZ assay performed on the FilmArray systems. FilmArray RP Positive Control is composed of synthetic RNA transcripts specifically designed for and intended to be used solely with the FilmArray RP EZ assay. This product is not intended to replace manufacturer controls provided with the device.
Device Story
FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 provides external positive and negative quality control materials for the FilmArray RP EZ assay. Positive control consists of synthetic RNA transcripts representing all respiratory pathogens detected by the assay; negative control consists of non-specific RNA in buffer. Controls are processed by laboratory personnel identically to patient nasopharyngeal swab samples in Viral Transport Media. The device is used on the FilmArray 2.0 instrument to monitor qualitative amplification, detection, and identification steps. Results are reviewed by clinicians to verify assay performance and ensure validity of patient test results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Reproducibility study (3 sites, 182 controls) showed 100% agreement for positive controls and 97.78% for negative controls. Internal precision and lot-to-lot studies confirmed consistent performance across operators, lots, and days, with stable Crossing Point (Cp) values.
Technological Characteristics
Ready-to-use liquid control panel. Positive control: synthetic RNA transcripts in buffers, stabilizers, and preservatives. Negative control: non-specific RNA in buffers, stabilizers, and preservatives. Designed for use with FilmArray 2.0 EZ Configuration system. Monitors extraction, reverse transcription, amplification, detection, and identification steps.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as external positive and negative quality control material for in vitro nucleic acid testing of respiratory pathogens (Adenovirus, Coronavirus, Human Metapneumovirus, Human Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Influenza A/B, Parainfluenza, RSV, B. pertussis, C. pneumoniae, M. pneumoniae) using the FilmArray RP EZ assay. Intended for clinical laboratory use.

1. Analytical performance:
a. Reproducibility:
A multi-site reproducibility study was performed with the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 on FilmArray instrument 2.0 EZ Configuration system at two CLIA-waived clinical sites and one simulated CLIA-waived test site (e.g., testing was performed at a laboratory with users that were screened to have training and educational backgrounds consistent with those in the CLIA-waived testing environment). Testing consisted of three positive and three negative controls run per day, and spanned a period of 10 days (total of 60 control runs per site). Multiple operators participated in testing at each of the three locations. Three lots each of external control material and three lots of RP EZ pouches were tested across all sites. A total of 182 external controls were tested (91 positive and 91 negative). Two tests were excluded from the final data analysis due to Invalid results caused by internal pouch control failures. The results are shown in the tables below:

e. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
f. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability:
Not applicable
Stability:
Open Vial Stability: Not applicable because FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 is packaged for single use.
Closed Vial Real-time Stability: An accelerated stability study was performed to establish the shelf life stability claims for FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265. Based on this study, the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 is expected to be stable until the expiration date (12 months) when stored frozen $(-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ or colder) and unopened. This product is for single use.
Real-Time Stability Program: Real-time stability studies are ongoing to support product claims and to monitor potential assay modifications for which the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 is indicated for use. Real-time stability study protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
Shipping Stability: MMQCI ships the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel on dry ice with overnight delivery, ensuring that the control material remains frozen upon receipt. The frozen control material is then to be stored at $-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ , as indicated in the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel Package insert. A shipping study was performed to confirm the shipping process and to investigate the outcome of a possible shipping delay and subsequent arrival with no dry ice. The study evaluated two (2) lots of the FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control placed in dry ice and was stored for two (2) days at ambient temperature then tested using the FilmArray RP EZ Assay. To simulate a shipping delay, two (2) lots of the FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control M266 were
{11}
stored for up to 6 days at ambient temperature and tested using the FilmArray RP EZ Assay.
The study demonstrated that the FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control M265 is stable for two (2) days on dry ice in MMQCI's standard shipping box. FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control is stable after five (5) days at ambient temperatures of approximately $19 - 21^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . The FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control should be stored frozen $(-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ or colder) as indicated in the package insert.

Matrix Effects:
A study was performed to evaluate the effect of the FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 in the presence of viral transport media (VTM). Equal volumes of the same concentration of inactivated Influenza A H1N1-2009 were spiked into 300μL of VTM as well as 300μL of FilmArray RP EZ Negative Control, which contains the identical matrix found in the FilmArray RP EZ Positive Control. Both sample types of the H1N1-2009 were tested in triplicate by the FilmArray RP EZ assay.
Results demonstrated that samples prepared with FilmArray RP EZ Control Panel M265 matrix generate equivalent results to samples prepared with VTM. Study results are shown in the table below:
