## Indications for Use

The BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the rapid, qualitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen directly in anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (i.e., symptomatic). The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card and followed up with a molecular test. A negative test is presumptive and does not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection; it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other bacteria or viruses and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from November 2020 to July 2022, when SARS-COV-2 Delta and Omicron were dominant. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

## Device Story

Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; detects SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen in anterior nasal swab specimens. Device consists of cardboard, book-shaped hinged card containing test strip with immobilized anti-SARS-CoV-2 and control antibodies. User collects nasal swab; adds 6 drops of extraction reagent to card well; inserts swab; rotates 3 times to lyse/elute sample; closes card to initiate flow. SARS-CoV-2 antigen binds to gold-conjugated antibodies; captured by immobilized antibodies on membrane; forms visible pink/purple line. Read visually at 15 minutes. Used in point-of-care or home settings by lay users or clinicians. Provides qualitative result; aids in COVID-19 diagnosis. Negative results are presumptive; require molecular confirmation. Serial testing protocol mitigates false negatives.

## Clinical Evidence

Two prospective clinical studies (n=604) in symptomatic individuals. Combined PPA 86.9% (95% CI: 81.7-90.8%) and NPA 98.5% (95% CI: 96.7-99.3%) against RT-PCR comparator. Serial testing data from NIH RADx initiative (n=5,609) demonstrated improved sensitivity with repeat testing (e.g., 92.2% PPA with 2 tests at Day 0). Analytical studies confirmed LoD, inclusivity across variants (Alpha through JN.1), and lack of cross-reactivity/interference with common respiratory pathogens and substances.

## Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized anti-SARS-CoV-2 and Chicken antibodies. Conjugate pad contains gold-conjugated antibodies. Cardboard, book-shaped hinged test card. No instrument required. Qualitative visual readout. Sterilization via ethylene oxide/radiation (ISO 11135, 11137). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.

## IV Device/System Characteristics:

## A Device Description:

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is a visually read lateral flow in vitro diagnostic immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2. The test uses antibodies to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from anterior nasal swab specimens. SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies and a control antibody are immobilized onto a membrane as two distinct lines and, combined with other reagents/pads, comprise the test strip. This test strip and a well to hold the swab specimen are mounted on opposite sides of a cardboard, book-shaped hinged test card. The sample flow across the test strip only starts when the test card is closed, and the test strip is brought in direct physical contact with the sample well.

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is comprised of:

- Test Cards: A cardboard, book-shaped hinged test card containing the test strip
- Extraction Reagent: Bottle containing 7.5 mL of extraction reagent
- Nasal Swabs
- Positive Control Swab: Non-infectious recombinant SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen dried onto a swab
- Negative Control Swab
- Product Insert
- Procedure Card

- REF 190-090: BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Reagent Accessory Pack (Contains two (2) bottles of 7.5 mL Extraction Reagent bottles).

## B Principle of Operation:

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses antibodies to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from anterior nasal swab specimens. The device consists of a nitrocellulose membrane with adsorbed anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies for the sample line and adsorbed Chicken antibodies for the control line. Anti-Chicken and anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies are conjugated to visualizing particles that are dried onto an inert fibrous support referred to as conjugate pad. The conjugate pad and striped membrane are combined to construct the test strip. The test strip and a well to hold the swab specimen are mounted on opposite sides of a hinged, book shaped test device.

To perform the test, an anterior nasal swab specimen is collected from the patient. Extraction reagent (6 drops) is added from a dropper bottle to the swab well and then the swab is inserted into the test card. The swab is rotated 3 times to elute, lyse and homogenize the sample material from the swab. The card is then closed, bringing the extracted sample into contact with the test strip. As the sample flows along the strip, SARS-CoV-2 antigen first binds to a colloidal gold-conjugated anti-SARS-Cov-2 specific antibody and then is captured by immobilized anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody, resulting in the presence of a visible line. The control line is formed when colloidal gold-conjugated anti-Chicken antibodies are carried along the test strip by the sample and captured by immobilized Chicken antibodies. Test results are read visually at 15 minutes without the use of an instrument.

## C Description of Test Steps

1. Remove test card from pouch. Make sure the blue control line is present in the result window. Open the card and lay it flat on the table with the pink side down.

![img-8.jpeg](img-8.jpeg)

6. Read the result at 15 minutes.
7. Interpretation of Results:

|  Negative A negative specimen will give a single pink/purple colored Control Line in the top half of the window, indicating a negative result. This Control Line means that the detection part of the test was done correctly, but no COVID-19 antigen was detected. | Pink/Purple Control Line  |
| --- | --- |
|  Positive A positive specimen will give two pink/purple colored lines. This means that COVID-19 antigen was detected. Specimens with low levels of antigen may give a faint Sample Line. Any visible pink/purple colored line is positive. | Pink/Purple Control Line Pink/Purple Sample Line  |
|  Invalid If no lines are seen, if just the Sample Line is seen, or the Blue Control Line remains blue, the assay is invalid. Invalid tests should be repeated. | Invalid Result No Control Line Sample Line Only Blue Control Line Only Blue Control Line Sample Line  |

## VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

### A Analytical Performance:

1. Precision/Reproducibility:

A precision/reproducibility study was conducted with the BinaxNOW CoVID-19 Ag Card at three (3) CLIA-waived external sites by a total of nine (9) untrained operators (3 operators per site). Each operator tested six (6) samples comprised of four (4) panel members (Table 1), two (2) times a day (AM and PM), across five (5) non-consecutive days. Contrived samples were prepared utilizing inactivated SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020) diluted into

K250273 - Page 7 of 17

{7}

negative nasal swab matrix (NSM) to Moderate Positive (5X LoD), Low Positive (1X LoD), and High Negative (0.05X LoD). True negative (TN) samples consisted of NSM only. Contrived samples were applied to individual dry nasal swabs which were blinded, randomized, and tested across three (3) reagent lot numbers. Results were generated from a total 540 samples (3 sites x 3 operators/site x 2 times a day x 5 non-consecutive days x 6 replicates/operator/day). Over the course of the study, each operator tested fifteen (15) samples per panel member.

Table 1. Contrived Positive and Negative Panel Members

|  Sample | SARS-CoV-2 Concentration | Expected Results  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  Moderate Positive (5X LoD) | 2187.5 TCID50/mL | Positive  |
|  Low Positive (1X LoD) | 437.5 TCID50/mL  |   |
|  High Negative (0.05X LoD) | 23.03 TCID50/mL | Negative  |
|  True Negative | NSM Only  |   |

A summary of percent agreement with expected results for each panel member by operator, site, and reagent lot number is presented in Tables 2 and 3 below. All daily controls performed by each operator generated the expected results on each day of testing (data not shown).

The results obtained from this study demonstrated that the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card that untrained operators in CLIA waived settings can perform this test consistently and accurately with organism concentrations near the assay LoD and that performance is consistent across multiple lots.

# 2. Linearity:

Not applicable; this test device only produces binary qualitative results.

# 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:

# a) Cross-Reactivity and Microbial Interference Study

Cross reactivity and potential microbial interference with the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card was evaluated by testing 28 commensal and pathogenic microorganisms that are reasonably likely to be encountered in nasal swab specimens. A total of 9 bacteria, 17 viruses, 1 yeast and 1 negative clinical matrix sample (pooled human nasal wash) were tested. Each organism/virus was tested in five replicates in NSM in the absence (cross-reactivity) and presence (interference) of 3X LoD SARS-CoV-2 (inactivated USA-WA1/2020) in a randomized and blinded manner. No cross-reactivity or interference was seen with the microorganisms in the table below when tested at  $1 \times 10^{6}$  CFU/mL for bacteria and yeast and at  $1 \times 10^{5}$  TCID $_{50}$ /mL for viruses. Results are summarized below, reflecting the number of SARS-CoV-2 positive results obtained.

*Human Coronavirus HKU1 was evaluated as a clinical sample in VTM (i.e., not cultured). Accordingly, the relative concentration was quantified in Ct-values, wherein four positive clinical samples ranging from 22.3 – 32.0 Ct were evaluated herein. No cross-reactivity or interference with SARS-CoV-2 was observed.

## b) Endogenous and Exogenous Interfering Substances Study

An interfering substances study was conducted to assess if frequently encountered endogenous or exogenous substances interfere with the performance of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card. Each potentially interfering substance was tested in five replicates in NSM in the presence or absence of 3X LoD SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020) and at concentrations as indicated in Table 5 below. Samples were prepared by applying 20 μL of sample to the dry swab and thereafter swabs were processed according to the test instructions for use using one lot of test device. The effects of the substances were evaluated by the agreement with the expected positive or negative results. None of the evaluated substances demonstrated interference with the assay at the tested concentrations. Results are summarized below (Table 5), reflecting the number of SARS-CoV-2 positive results obtained.

4. Assay Reportable Range:

Not applicable; this test device only produces qualitative results.

5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):

a) Internal Controls

The test uses an internal control antibody immobilized onto the test strip that forms a line distinct from the analyte specific test line on each individual test. The pink-to-purple line at the "Control" position serves as an internal procedural control. If the test flows and the reagents work, this line will always appear.

b) External Positive and Negative Controls

Each BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card kit contains a Positive Control Swab and sterile patient nasal swab which can be used as a Negative Control Swab. These swabs will monitor the entire assay. These controls are recommended to be tested as follows:

- Each new shipment of BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card kits received.
- Once for each untrained operator.

K250273 - Page 11 of 17

{11}

- Additional testing may be needed to conform with local, state, and/or federal regulations, accrediting groups, or a laboratory standard Quality Control procedures.

## c) Specimen Stability

Specimen stability was assessed using contrived positive samples prepared with 2X LoD inactivated SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020 isolate) in negative clinical matrix (NCM). Negative samples prepared with NCM only were also included. Swab samples were inoculated with positive or negative material and either tested immediately or stored at 28 – 32°C. Samples were blinded and then provided to different operators who performed the testing. Five (5) replicates of positive samples and five (5) replicates of negative samples were tested in accordance with the package insert at each timepoint for each storage condition. Results are summarized below (Table 6). All samples gave expected results.

## d) Reagent Stability and Shelf-life

To determine the shelf-life of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card in the intended storage conditions (15-30°C), real-time stability studies were conducted using three lots of each test kit component. Component lots were stored at room temperature (28-32°C) and were held at these conditions for the duration of the study.

The test components were tested at specified time points using positive test samples with analyte concentrations near the LoD of the test (≤3X LoD) and negative test samples (Negative Clinical Matrix).

Results obtained at each storage timepoint were compared to testing at baseline (t=0). Data collected to date across all real-time shelf-life studies support a test kit shelf-life of 22 months.

## 6. Detection Limit:

### a) Limit of Detection

The limit of detection (LoD) of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card was determined by evaluating different dilutions of SARS-CoV-2 in negative clinical matrix (NCM), using two strains: 1) heat inactivated SARS-CoV-2 isolate USA-WA1/2020; and 2) heat inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant lineage B.1.1.529. A total of three lots of test devices were used across each of the two strains. Samples were prepared by inoculating a dry swab with 20 μL of the indicated dilution and then processing the swab according to the test instructions for use.

1:10 serial dilutions were first prepared in NSM and tested in triplicate on each of three lots of BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card until negative results were generated for all replicates. Thereafter, 1:2 serial dilutions were prepared (starting from the lowest 1:10

K250273 - Page 12 of 17

{12}

dilution level that produced positive results for all replicates) and were tested in 20 replicates until &lt;95% of results were positive. The preliminary LOD was determined to be the lowest level tested that produced 100% positive results (n=20) on all three lots of test devices.

Confirmation of the preliminary LOD was performed by preparing dilutions to 0.5X, 1X, and 2X the preliminary LOD determined for each SARS-CoV-2 strain. Each dilution was tested in 60 replicates per lot. The final LoD for the SCoV-2 Ag Detect Rapid Test was determined to be:

- SARS-CoV-2 isolate USA-WA1/2020: 3.5 x 10³ TCID₅₀/mL
- SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant lineage B.1.1.529: 1.6 x 10³ TCID₅₀/mL

|  USA-WA1/2020 | 3,500 | 70  |
|  B.1.1.529 (Omicron) | 1603.2 | 32.064  |

## b) International Standard Material NIBSC code: 21/368 – Limit of Detection

The LoD of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card was also determined by evaluating different dilutions of the International Standard Material for SARS-CoV-2 antigen (NIBSC code: 21/368) in NSM. The SARS-CoV-2 standard containing lyophilized SARS-CoV-2 antigen was reconstituted in 250 µL of ultra-pure water for a final concentration of 20,000 IU/mL. Swab samples were prepared by dispensing 20 µL of the testing dilution onto a swab head and tested according to the test instructions.

The LoD was determined as the lowest virus concentration that was detected ≥ 95% of the time (i.e., concentration at which at least 19 out of 20 replicates tested positive). The limit of detection was established in two phases. For the preliminary LoD, five serial 1:2 dilutions were prepared in NSM and tested in triplicate on the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card until negative results were generated for all replicates. Confirmation of the preliminary LoD (500 IU/mL) was performed by preparing 17 additional swabs with the preliminary LoD dilution and testing on BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card (added to the initial triplicate results for a total of twenty replicates). The results are summarized below.

Table 9. Limit of Detection – International Standard Material NIBSC code: 21/368

K250273 - Page 13 of 17

{13}

The analytical sensitivity (LoD) for the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card with the International Standard Material NIBSC code: 21/368 for SARS-CoV-2 Antigen is 375 IU/mL or 7.5 IU/swab.

## 7. High-dose Hook Effect:

A high-dose Hook Effect study was conducted to assess the performance of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card for a potential hook effect at high concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., false negatives). Positive samples were prepared from inactivated SARS-CoV-2 (USA-WA1/2020) at three high concentrations. Positive and negative samples (comprising negative clinical matrix only) were tested in five replicates each, per the IFU. Test samples were prepared by a study operator and then provided to different operators who were blinded to the sample identity to perform the test. No high dose hook effect was observed when tested with up to a concentration of $1.4 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$ of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus with the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card.

**Table 10. High-dose Hook Effect Study**

|  Sample | Concentration | % Detected (n/N)  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  SARS-CoV-2 | 1.4 x 10^{6} TCID_{50}/mL | 100% (5/5)  |
|   |  7.0 x 10^{5} TCID_{50}/mL | 100% (5/5)  |
|   |  7.0 x 10^{4} TCID_{50}/mL | 100% (5/5)  |
|  Negative | 0 TCID_{50}/mL | 100% (5/5)  |

## 8. Inclusivity (Analytical Reactivity):

An inclusivity study was performed to demonstrate that the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card can detect the nucleocapsid protein across a variety of SARS-CoV-2 strains. 19 variants of SARS-CoV-2 were prepared in NSM, and each tested in five (5) replicates. $20\mu \mathrm{L}$ of the dilutions were applied directly to the dry swab head and swabs processed according to the test instructions for use. The lowest concentration that produces 5/5 COVID-19 positive results were considered the $100\%$ detection rate. Results are summarized below.

9. Assay Cut-Off:

Not applicable; this test device only produces qualitative results.

B Comparison Studies:

1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:

See Section C (Clinical Studies) below.

2. Matrix Comparison:

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card is only intended for qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in direct anterior nasal swab specimens. As no other sample type is claimed for this device, a matrix comparison study to support other sample types for clinical testing with this device was not performed.

C Clinical Studies:

The performance of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card in detecting SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleoprotein antigen from anterior nasal swab samples was evaluated in a multi-center, prospective study with lay users in the U.S. during two distinct time frames ranging from November 2020 to July 2022. Across six sites, a total of 765 untrained lay users were enrolled into the study and self-tested (or tested another). The study only enrolled subjects with symptoms of respiratory infection consistent with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

An anterior nasal (AN) swab was self-collected by each study subject and immediately tested with the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card according to the test device's quick reference instructions. A second swab was collected by the study operator (either an anterior nasal swab or mid-turbinate swab), placed into a transport tube containing viral transport media, refrigerated, and shipped to a central lab for testing with a highly sensitive RT-PCR comparator assay. The investigational sample was collected first, followed then by the comparator swab. Demographics, symptom information, and health history were also collected from each subject.

There were 604 evaluable subjects with an average age of 37 years. Approximately 43% (262/604) were male and 56% (342/604) were female (2 subjects were undisclosed; 0.33%). A total of 161 subjects of the total 765 enrolled were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, or their samples had invalid or missing comparator results. Results obtained with the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card were compared to the results obtained with a highly sensitive RT-PCR comparator test to determine agreement with the true clinical status of the patient.

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card demonstrated a positive percent agreement (PPA) of 86.9% (186/214; 95% CI: 81.7% - 90.8%) and a negative percent agreement (NPA) of 98.5% (384/390; 95% CI: 96.7% - 99.3%) when compared to the comparator method.

1. Clinical Sensitivity:

Refer to Section VII.C (Clinical Studies) above for the clinical validation, including test sensitivity/positive percent agreement (PPA). The PPA for the test is  $86.916\%$  (186/214;  $95\%$  CI:  $81.7\% - 90.8\%$ ).

2. Clinical Specificity:

Refer to Section VII.C (Clinical Studies) above for the clinical validation, including test specificity/negative percent agreement (NPA). The NPA for the test is  $98.462\%$  (384/390;  $95\%$  CI:  $96.7\% - 99.3\%$ ).

3. Serial Testing:

This clinical data set verifies the known lower sensitivity for samples collected on the day of symptom onset (i.e., Day 0) that was observed for test devices of similar technology and design across a multitude of clinical studies. As a mitigation, the Intended Use for this test device (and associated Instructions for Use) include recommendations for repeat testing (i.e., test at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests). This mitigation is supported by data generated by the National Institutes for Health (NIH) and the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (in collaboration with the FDA) demonstrating that repeat testing over multiple days improves test performance and increases the likelihood that a COVID-19 antigen test will accurately detect an infection. These results have informed the FDA's general understanding that repeat testing after a negative result from a COVID-19
