The OSOM Influenza A&B Test is an in vitro diagnostic immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection of influenza A and influenza B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasal swab specimens in symptomatic patients. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and/or B viral infections. This test is not intended for the detection of influenza C. viruses. A negative test is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by cell culture. Cross-reactivity with respiratory viruses other than influenza viruses has not been evaluated. The user is responsible for determining the cross-reactivity of other respiratory viruses with this test.
Device Story
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and B. Input: nasal swab specimen solubilized in extraction buffer. Principle: viral nucleoproteins migrate along a membrane; bind to colloidal gold-conjugated mouse monoclonal IgG antibodies; captured by secondary mouse anti-influenza antibodies on nitrocellulose. Output: visual pink/purple test lines (A, B, or both) and a control line. Used in clinical laboratories, health clinics, and physician offices by healthcare personnel. Provides rapid (10-minute) qualitative results to aid clinical decision-making; negative results require culture confirmation. Benefits: rapid identification of influenza A/B infections to guide patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical trial (2004-2005) with 383 subjects (pediatric and adult) presenting with flu-like symptoms. Compared to cell culture. Influenza A: 73.8% sensitivity (95% CI 64.4-81.9%), 96.4% specificity (95% CI 93.4-98.2%). Influenza B: 60.0% sensitivity (95% CI 45.2-73.6%), 96.4% specificity (95% CI 93.8-98.1%). Reproducibility study across four sites showed 97% accuracy for Flu A and 94% for Flu B.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Components: test stick, extraction buffer. Detection: mouse monoclonal IgG antibodies conjugated to colloidal gold. Membrane: nitrocellulose coated with mouse anti-influenza A/B antibodies. Visual readout: pink to purple lines. Standalone device; no instrumentation required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens in symptomatic patients using nasal swab specimens. Not for influenza C detection. Negative results are presumptive and require confirmation by cell culture.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An influenza virus antigen detection test system is a device intended for the qualitative detection of influenza viral antigens directly from clinical specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The test aids in the diagnosis of influenza infection and provides epidemiological information on influenza. Due to the propensity of the virus to mutate, new strains emerge over time which may potentially affect the performance of these devices. Because influenza is highly contagious and may lead to an acute respiratory tract infection causing severe illness and even death, the accuracy of these devices has serious public health implications.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device's sensitivity and specificity performance characteristics or positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement, for each specimen type claimed in the intended use of the device, must meet one of the following two minimum clinical performance criteria:
(i) For devices evaluated as compared to an FDA-cleared nucleic acid based-test or other currently appropriate and FDA accepted comparator method other than correctly performed viral culture method:
(A) The positive percent agreement estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 80 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 70 percent.
(B) The negative percent agreement estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 95 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 90 percent.
(ii) For devices evaluated as compared to correctly performed viral culture method as the comparator method:
(A) The sensitivity estimate for the device when testing for influenza A must be at the point estimate of at least 90 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 80 percent. The sensitivity estimate for the device when testing for influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 80 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 70 percent.
(B) The specificity estimate for the device when testing for influenza A and influenza B must be at the point estimate of at least 95 percent with a lower bound of the 95 percent confidence interval that is greater than or equal to 90 percent.

I. Device Description:
The OSOM Influenza A&B Test consists of a test stick that separately detects influenza A and B. The test procedure requires the solubilization of the nucleoproteins from a swab by mixing the swab in Extraction Buffer. The test stick is then placed in the sample mixture, which then migrates along the membrane surface. If influenza A and/or B viral antigens are present in the sample, it will form a complex with mouse monoclonal IgG antibodies to influenza A and/or B nucleoproteins conjugated to colloidal gold. The complex will then be bound by another mouse anti-influenza A and/or B antibody coated on the nitrocellulose membrane. A pink to purple control line must appear in the control region of the stick for results to be valid. The appearance of a second and possibly a third light pink to purple line will appear in the test line region indicating an A, B or A and B positive result.

Assay Reproducibility
A reproducibility proficiency study was conducted to demonstrate that the OSOM Influenza A&B Test will perform acceptably in the hands of nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians' office personnel. A panel of swabs including negative (no virus), strong negative (below the limit of detection), low (near the limit of detection) and mid viral levels for influenza A and B were coded and masked to the operators. This study was conducted with three operators at three health centers in the eastern United States (2 physician's offices and 1 clinic site) and at Genzyme Diagnostics. The overall accuracy was 97% for flu A and 94% for flu B. Two invalid tests were considered as incorrect results in each analysis.

# Influenza A/B Panel testing
A total of 46 human and animal influenza strains were tested with the OSOM Influenza A&B test. Viral titers $(\mathrm{TCID}_{50})$ for A/Kitakyushu/159/93 (H3N2) and B/Lee/40 were determined by inoculating MDCK cells, followed by standard procedures for cell culture viral assays. Aliquots of these controls with known $\mathrm{TCID}_{50}$ were then used to establish a standard curve in an ELISA assay. The concentrations of other influenza viruses were determined indirectly using the ELISA assay after the viruses had been inactivated. Influenza viruses were tested at an ELISA estimated $\mathrm{TCID}_{50}$ as listed in the table below.
All influenza virus isolates gave positive results with the test line at the expected location for the A, B and animal (positive for influenza A) isolates.
