Indications for Use

The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK test is a rapid membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the qualitative detection of a Campylobacter-specific antigen in human fecal specimens. The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK test is designed to detect C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis from patients with signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis. The test is intended for use with preserved fecal specimens in transport media and unpreserved fecal specimens. Test results should be considered in conjunction with clinical findings and patient history.

Device Story

The CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK is a diagnostic device used for the detection of Campylobacter species. It functions as a serological reagent test. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel to assist in the diagnosis of Campylobacter infections. The test provides qualitative results to healthcare providers, aiding in clinical decision-making regarding patient treatment and management.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Analytical validation performed using clinical isolates of C. lari and C. upsaliensis spiked into fecal matrix at 2x LoD. Study included 135 data points per species tested over three days by multiple technicians. Results showed 100% positive percent agreement (95% CI: 97.2%, 100%) for both species across unpreserved, Cary Blair, and C&S media. Interfering substances and prozone effect studies confirmed no impact on assay performance.

Technological Characteristics

Serological reagent test for Campylobacter species detection. Classified as Class I, Product Code LQP under 21 CFR 866.3110.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative detection of Campylobacter-specific antigen (C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis) in human fecal specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify Campylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.

5. A Design Control Activities Summary which includes:

a) Identification of Risk Analysis method(s) used to assess the impact of the modification on the device and its components, and the results of the analysis.

A formal risk assessment was conducted for the CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK assay. This assessment included Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (FMEA) for the assay design. This analysis identified false negative and false positive results i.e., true Campylobacter infection not identified or false Campylobacter infection identified, as the worst-case risks to the patient. It was concluded based on FMEA and verification testing that the risks associated with detection of C. lari and C. upsaliensis are mitigated and therefore CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK is safe and effective for its intended use.

b) Based on the Risk Analysis, an identification of the verification and/or validation activities required, including methods or tests used and acceptance criteria to be applied.

The following studies were performed to demonstrate risk mitigation:

**Limit of Detection**

The limit of detection (LoD) for the modified CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK test was determined visually using whole organisms of both C. lari and C. upsaliensis spiked into unpreserved and preserved media, i.e., raw stool fecal matrix and Cary Blair and C&amp;S media, respectively. The concentrations were calculated in colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) and their equivalent in CFU/test by factoring in the dilutions and the final volume used in the assay. The LoD is the concentrations of organisms that yields a positive result 95% of the time and a negative result 5% of the time. See the LoDs in Table 1 listed by organism and by stool (unpreserved and preserved).

# Prozone Effect Study

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that a high concentration of Campylobacter (antigen) does not interfere with a positive reaction in the modified CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK test. High samples were prepared by spiking a negative fecal pool with $1.6 \times 10^{8}$ whole organisms of C. lari and $1.28 \times 10^{8}$ whole organisms of C. upsaliensis. A total of five different dilutions of C. lari and C. upsaliensis were prepared and tested. Testing was performed in triplicate according to the Package Insert instructions. The results demonstrated that there was no overall hook affect, and that elevated levels of whole organism did not affect the detection of Campylobacter.

# Analytical Validation Study

The performance of the modified CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK test was determined by testing a panel of five C. lari and five C. upsaliensis clinical isolates. All samples were prepared by spiking negative, pooled fecal matrix with whole organism at 2x LoD. Performance was assessed for unpreserved stool and stool preserved in Cary Blair and C&amp;S transport media. Due to availability of limited number of representative isolates, each isolate was tested once a day over a three-day period by multiple technicians at a single internal site for a total of 135 data points. The results of this study demonstrated positive percent agreement (PPA) with expected results of $100\%$ for C. lari and $100\%$ for C. upsaliensis. Results are illustrated in Table 4.

Table 4. Analytical Validation Study - Performance of the Modified CAMPYLOBACTER QUIK CHEK

| Species | Percent Agreement | 95% CI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| C. lari | 100% (135/135) | 97.2%, 100% |
| C. upsaliensis | 100% (135/135) | 97.2%, 100% |

The labeling for this modified subject device has been reviewed to verify that the indication/intended use for the device is unaffected by the modification. In addition, the submitter's description of the specific modification(s) and the comparative information between the modified and unmodified devices demonstrate that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed. The submitter has provided the design control information as specified in The New 510(k) Paradigm and on this basis, I recommend the device be determined substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.
