Indications for Use
The Xpert GI Panel, performed on the GeneXpert® Instrument Systems, is a qualitative multiplexed in vitro diagnostic test that is capable of the simultaneous detection and identification of DNA and RNA from multiple bacteria, parasites and/or virus directly from stool samples in Cary Blair transport media obtained from individuals with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection. The test utilizes automated, qualitative real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The following bacteria (including several diarrheagenic E. coli/Shigella pathotypes), parasites, and virus are identified using the Xpert GI Panel: Pathogens Detected: Bacteria: Campylobacter (C. jejuni/C. coli), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) stx1/stx2, Salmonella, Shigella/Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae Parasites: Giardia (also known as G. intestinalis, G. duodenalis & G. lamblia), Cryptosporidium Virus: Norovirus GI/GII Pathogens Reported: Bacteria: Campylobacter, STEC stx1, STEC stx2, Salmonella, Shigella EIEC, Yersinia, V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae Parasites: Giardia, Cryptosporidium Virus: Norovirus Results are meant to be used in conjunction with other clinical, laboratory and epidemiological data and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out coinfection with pathogens not included in the Xpert GI Panel. The pathogen detected may not be the definite cause of the disease. Negative results in the setting of clinical illness compatible with gastroenteritis may be due to infection by pathogens that are not detected by this test or non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease.
Device Story
The Xpert GI Panel is an automated, qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the simultaneous detection of 11 gastrointestinal pathogens (bacteria, parasites, virus) from stool samples in Cary Blair transport media. The device uses a single-use disposable cartridge containing reagents for sample purification, reverse transcription, and nested real-time PCR amplification. The GeneXpert Instrument System (Dx, Infinity, or Touchscreen) performs hands-off processing, including nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and melt curve analysis. The system measures fluorescent signals and uses embedded algorithms to interpret results as positive or negative for each target. The test is performed in clinical laboratories by trained operators. Results are provided in ≤75 minutes and are intended to be used alongside other clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological data to aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections. The device benefits patients by providing rapid, multiplexed identification of pathogens, which can inform clinical decision-making and patient management.

B Principle of Operation:
The Xpert GI Panel is performed on the Cepheid GeneXpert Instrument Systems equipped with GeneXpert 10-color modules running software version 6.4 and higher (GeneXpert Dx), software version Xpertise 7.1 or higher (GeneXpert Infinity) or software version OS 2.1 or higher (GeneXpert with Touchscreen). The GeneXpert Instrument Systems automate and integrate sample purification, nucleic acid amplification, and detection of the target sequences from clinical specimens using reverse transcription (conversion of RNA template into DNA) followed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and melt curve analysis. The systems consist of an instrument, computer, and preloaded software for running tests and viewing the results. Each test requires the use of a single-use disposable GeneXpert cartridge that contains target-specific reagents and carries out the reverse transcription and PCR processes.
The Xpert GI Panel test includes reagents needed: (i) for sample preparation and (ii) to detect the different bacteria, parasites and virus. A Sample Processing Control (SPC), an Internal Control (IC) and a Probe Check Control (PCC) are also included in the cartridge. The PCC verifies reagent rehydration, PCR tube filling in the cartridge, probe integrity, and dye stability. The IC is present to ensure adequate processing of RNA targets and monitor the presence of inhibitor(s) in the PCR reaction. The SPC is present to control for adequate extraction and processing of the target sequences in the PCR reaction. The SPC also acts as a control for functionality of melt curve analysis.
The Xpert GI Panel test results are interpreted by GeneXpert Instrument Systems from measured fluorescent signals and embedded calculation algorithms and will be reported as positive or negative for each of the targets.
The Xpert GI Panel test is designed for use with stool specimens collected and transferred to Cary Blair medium according to the Cary Blair manufacturer's instructions or institutional guidelines.
The stool sample in Cary Blair medium are mixed thoroughly. The user will then dip a transfer swab (provided) for 5 seconds into the sample and then transfer the inoculated swab into the sample chamber of the Xpert GI Panel cartridge. The user will break the swab by snapping the shaft against the notch in the sample chamber opening leaving the swab tip in the sample chamber and closing the cartridge lid. The Xpert GI Panel cartridge is then loaded onto the GeneXpert instrument, which performs hands-off automated sample processing and real-time PCR for detection of the target DNA/RNA. After the melt curve analysis, software automatically calculates the melt peak temperature and melt peak height of the pathogens detected using melt curve analysis.

3. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The stool or rectal swab sample in Cary Blair medium will be mixed thoroughly. The user will then dip a transfer swab (provided) for 5 seconds into the sample and transfer the inoculated swab into the sample chamber of the Xpert GI Panel cartridge. The user will break the swab by snapping the shaft against the notch in the sample chamber opening leaving the swab tip in the sample chamber and closing the cartridge lid. The Xpert GI Panel cartridge is then loaded onto the GeneXpert instrument, which performs hands-off automated sample processing and real-time PCR for detection of the target DNA/RNA.
4. Calibration:
Please refer to K243730 Decision Summary for GeneXpert Infinity Systems Calibration information and K250218 Decision Summary for GeneXpert Dx System and GeneXpert System with Touchscreen calibration information.
5. Quality Control:
Each test includes a Sample Processing Control (SPC), an Internal Control (IC) and a Probe Check Control (PCC).
- Sample Processing Control (SPC)—The SPC is spores of *Bacillus globigii* included in each cartridge to ensure that the sample was processed correctly. The SPC verifies the lysis of hard to lyse pathogens (parasites and bacteria) if the pathogens are present and that sample processing is adequate. Additionally, this control ensures that the PCR reaction conditions (temperature and time) are appropriate for the amplification reaction, and that the PCR reagents are functional. The SPC also acts as a control for functionality of melt curve analysis. The SPC should be positive in a negative sample and can be negative or positive in a positive sample. The SPC passes if it meets the validated acceptance criteria. The test result is INVALID if all targets are reported negative and the SPC does not meet the assigned acceptance criteria.
- Internal Control (IC)—The IC is an Armored RNA that is included in each cartridge to verify adequate processing of the sample. The IC verifies release of RNA from the sample and that the sample processing is adequate. Additionally, this control detects specimen-associated inhibition of the reverse transcription and PCR reactions. The IC should be positive in a negative sample and can be negative or positive in a positive sample. The IC passes if it meets the validated acceptance criteria. The test result is INVALID if all targets are reported negative and the IC does not meet the assigned acceptance criteria.
- Probe Check Control (PCC)—Before the start of the PCR reaction, the GeneXpert System measures the fluorescence signal from the probes to monitor bead rehydration, reaction tube filling, probe integrity, and dye stability. The PCC passes if it meets the assigned acceptance criteria.

## VII Performance Characteristics:
### A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
The reproducibility and precision of the Xpert GI Panel was evaluated in a multicenter blinded study across three sites utilizing a multi-factor nested design consisting of three contrived panels composed of low positive (~1x LoD), moderate positive (~3x LoD), and negative samples. The negative samples were pooled negative clinical stool matrix.
The positive samples were contrived by diluting target pathogen into pooled negative clinical stool matrix across three panels. Testing was conducted to assess reproducibility over days, lots of Xpert GI Panel cartridges, sites, and operators at each site. The percent agreement of the correct results compared to the expected results analyzed by each of the operators across site is shown in Table 1. Additionally, the combined agreement across sites for each sample (% total agreement) and the two-sided Wilson Score confidence intervals (CI) are presented in the last column.
Low and moderate *V. parahaemolyticus* positives were tested fresh within the 4-day window of specimen stability (2 - 8°C) as part of Panel 3. Panel 3 consisted of low and moderate positive V. parahaemolyticus and negative panel members. The results from the study are summarized in Table 1 below. There were no statistically significant differences in the Xpert GI Panel performance between study sites, lots and operators.

a One sample was non-determinate on both initial and retest and was excluded from the analyses.
b One moderate positive sample tested positive for $V.$ parahaemolyticus and $V.$ cholerae. This sample was considered concordant for $V.$ parahaemolyticus.
The evaluation of reproducibility and within-laboratory precision of the underlying analyte response (Ct, melt peak (MP), or melt valley (MV) values) for the Xpert GI Panel was analyzed using nested Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The mean response (Ct, MP or MV), standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV) between-sites, between-operators, between-lots, between-days, between-runs and within-run for each panel member are presented in Table 2.

2. Linearity:
Not applicable as this is a qualitative assay.
3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:
a. Analytical Reactivity:
The analytical reactivity (inclusivity) of the Xpert GI Panel test was evaluated by utilizing multiple clinically relevant strains for each Xpert GI Panel target pathogen, representative of genotypic differences from various geographical regions. All strains were tested at ≤3x LoD with a minimum of five replicates using the Xpert GI Panel test, except for one strain which was assessed using in silico analysis against the Xpert GI Panel primer and probe sequences. If a target pathogen strain reported negative results for one replicate or more at ≤3x LoD, the strain was subsequently tested at a higher concentration. A strain was considered detected when all replicates at a test level were reported positive. Table 3 to Table 13 present the evaluated strains, test levels and the results for detection.

b. Analytical Specificity (Exclusivity) and Microbial Interference:
The analytical specificity (exclusivity), microbial interference and in-assay cross reactivity of the Xpert GI Panel test were evaluated using microorganisms commonly found in stool and rectal flora. A total of 136 microorganisms were either tested with the Xpert GI Panel test (131 microorganisms) or assessed using in silico analysis directed against the Xpert GI Panel probe and primer sequences (five microorganisms). The non-target microorganisms evaluated using the Xpert GI Panel test were diluted into clinical stool matrix at high concentrations and tested in absence of target pathogens using three replicates, and in presence of target pathogens diluted to ≤ 3x LoD using six replicates. Non-target bacteria were tested at 1E6 CFU/mL and non-target viruses and parasites/yeast were tested at ≥ 1E4 units/mL. The in-assay cross reactivity was evaluated using a subset of target pathogen strains, individually tested at high concentrations using six replicates, to determine potential cross-reactivity with the primers and probes included in the Xpert GI Panel test. Target pathogen strains evaluated for in-assay cross reactivity were tested at 1E6 units/mL, except for Cryptosporidium parvum which was tested at 9.94E4 oocysts/mL.
No cross-reactivity or microbial interference was observed for any of the tested non-target microorganisms using the Xpert GI Panel test. The risk for cross reactivity or interference with the Xpert GI Panel test for other select pathogens was determined to be low using in silico analysis for five of the non-target microorganisms. No in-assay cross reactivity was observed for any of the Xpert GI Panel target pathogens tested at high concentrations. Table 14, Table 15, and Table 16 present the bacteria, viruses, parasites/yeast evaluated in the Xpert GI Panel analytical (exclusivity) and microbial interference study respectively. Table 17 presents the target pathogen strains evaluated for in-assay cross reactivity of the Xpert GI Panel test.

c. Competitive Inhibition:
Competitive inhibition of the Xpert GI Panel test, caused by clinically relevant co-infections, was evaluated by testing 12 target pathogen combinations using a total of seven target pathogens, i.e., Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica, Giardia lamblia, Yersinia enterocolitica, STEC stx1, STEC stx2 and Norovirus GI. The target pathogens were tested at low concentrations, i.e., $\leq 3\mathrm{x}$ LoD in presence of one or more additional target pathogen(s) at a high concentration in negative clinical stool matrix. The high-test concentrations were 1E6 CFU/mL for bacterial pathogens, 1E5 cysts/mL for Giardia lamblia, and 1E5 cp/mL for Norovirus GI. All target pathogen combinations were diluted in clinical stool matrix and tested with six replicates. The study results showed no competitive inhibition for common gastrointestinal co-infections with the Xpert GI Panel test. Table 18 presents the target pathogen combinations and the reported results.

## d. Potentially Interfering Substances Study:
A total of seven endogenous and twenty-nine exogenous substances, that may be encountered in clinical stool specimens, as well as four method-specific substances for collecting and storing clinical specimens, were evaluated for potential interference with the Xpert GI Panel test performance. Table 19 presents the evaluated substances and the corresponding test concentration in raw stool. Each potentially interfering substance was tested individually in clinical negative stool matrix in the absence and presence of representative Xpert GI Panel target pathogens respectively at a concentration of $3\mathrm{x}$ LoD using six replicates. The representative target pathogens included EIEC, Yersinia enterocolitica, Cryptosporidium parvum and Norovirus and they were selected to include at least one of each pathogen type (bacteria, parasite, virus), covering both detection methods (amplification and melt analysis).
None of the tested substances showed interference with the Xpert GI Panel test performance, except for overfilling of stool sample above the Cary Blair medium transport vial max fill line. The stool overfill condition resulted in five pressure errors, two false negative results for Cryptosporidium parvum and delayed Ct values for the amplification targets (EIEC, Cryptosporidium parvum and Norovirus). Thus, overfilling stool in the Cary Blair medium vial may be a potential risk for non-determinate results or false negative results at low target pathogen levels. These results highlight the importance of performing the stool sample collection correctly and according to the Cary Blair manufacturer's instructions.

4. Assay Reportable Range:
Not applicable as this is a qualitative assay.
5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
a. Specimen Stability:
A specimen stability study was conducted using positive and negative samples in fresh clinical stool matrix to determine the stability of the Xpert GI Panel target pathogens in clinical stool matrix. The samples were tested at 2°C and 8°C for up to five days and at 15°C and 25°C for up to either 72 hours or 4 days. A minimum of eight replicates for each positive and negative sample were tested for each time point and temperature condition using one Xpert GI Panel reagent lot. All the Xpert GI Panel target pathogens were tested either as target mixes or as single
K251721 - Page 27 of 35
{27}
targets in fresh clinical stool matrix at $\leq 3\mathrm{x}$ LoD. The negative sample consisted of fresh negative clinical stool without any Xpert GI Panel target pathogens.
The data from specimen stability support a specimen storage claim in clinical stool matrix (stool in Cary Blair) at $2^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for up to 4 days and at $15^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for up to 24 hours.
# 6. Detection Limit:
The analytical limit of detection (LoD) of the Xpert GI Panel test was determined by using two strains per Xpert GI Panel target pathogen. Each Xpert GI Panel target pathogen strain was serially diluted in clinical stool matrix and tested using two reagent lots across three testing days. The highest observed LoD, as determined by Probit regression analysis (95th Percentile), for each target pathogen strain from the two reagent lots was selected for LoD verification. Verification and confirmation of the estimated LoD for each Xpert GI Panel target pathogen strain was performed using one reagent lot across three testing days with a minimum of 20 replicates. The titer with a positive reported result greater than or equal to $95\%$ was determined as the verified LoD. The verified LoD was then confirmed by levels tested below and above with reported results of $< 95\%$ and $100\%$ respectively. The verified and confirmed LoD values for each Xpert GI Panel target pathogen strain are presented in Table 20.

# 7. Assay Cut-Off:
The Xpert GI Panel test detects 11 target pathogens, either from amplification analysis or melt curve analysis. The Xpert GI Panel test also detects two internal controls, one internal control
K251721 - Page 28 of 35
{28}
(IC) detected by amplification analysis and one sample process control (SPC) detected by both amplification and melt analysis. The amplification signal is defined as the cycle threshold (Ct) when the amplification curve reaches the set threshold. The melt curve signal is defined as the temperature at which half of the DNA strands are in the random coil or single-stranded (ssDNA) state. Each target pathogen and internal control, within the cycle threshold or melt threshold values specifications are reported as POSITIVE. Each target pathogen and internal control, outside the cycle threshold or melt threshold values specifications are reported as NEGATIVE. If the SPC and/or the IC report a negative result, a test with a reported positive result for a target pathogen is reported as POSITIVE. If the SPC and/or IC report a negative result, a test with a reported negative result for all target pathogens is reported as INVALID. The cycle threshold and melt threshold specifications are included as automatic calculations in the assay definition file (ADF) of the Xpert GI Panel test.
## 8. Accuracy (Instrument):
Not applicable.
## 9. Carry-Over:
A study was conducted to demonstrate that the single-use, self-contained Xpert GI Panel cartridge exhibits no carry-over contamination. The carry-over contamination evaluation was conducted by testing a negative sample immediately after testing a positive sample at high concentration in the same GeneXpert module. This procedure was repeated until 10 high positive and 11 negative replicates had been alternately tested for two GeneXpert modules respectively. The positive sample consisted of representative target pathogens at high concentrations in clinical stool matrix, i.e., EIEC at 1E6 CFU/mL, Giardia lamblia at 1E5 cysts/mL and Norovirus at 1E5 cp/mL. The target pathogens were selected to include at least one of each pathogen type (bacteria, parasite, virus). The negative sample consisted of negative clinical stool matrix without any target pathogens. All 20 replicates of the positive sample (10 replicates for each GeneXpert module) were correctly reported as positive for the target pathogens included. All 22 replicates of the negative sample (11 replicates for each GeneXpert module) were correctly reported as Negative. Thus, no carry-over contamination in the GeneXpert modules were observed.

## C. Clinical Studies:
1. Clinical Performance:
The clinical performance of the Xpert GI Panel was evaluated in a multicenter study at nineteen geographically diverse clinical sites within (13) and outside (6) of the United States. Clinical specimens were prospectively collected between July 2023 to December 2023. The clinical study utilized leftover, de-identified stool specimens in Cary Blair media collected from individuals suspected of GI infection. A total of 1658 prospectively collected fresh stool specimens in Cary Blair media were initially enrolled in the study of which only 1592 eligible specimens were
K251721 - Page 29 of 35
{29}
included in the study. All clinical specimen testing using the Xpert GI Panel were performed by trained operators at 14 clinical testing sites.
Due to the low prevalence observed for specific analytes in the prospective study cohort, the sample size for this study was supplemented with pre-selected archived specimens sourced from sites within the United States. To minimize bias, pre-selected specimens were randomized and tested in a blinded manner at 5 of the 19 clinical sites. Pre-selected specimens were identified by standard of care results and confirmed using comparator test results prior to testing with the Xpert GI Panel. A total of 103 pre-selected specimens were included in the clinical performance analysis. In addition, if sufficient prospective and pre-selected archived specimens were not obtained for specific analytes, the sample size was supplemented with contrived samples for those analytes.
Overall initial and final non-determinant rates for Xpert GI panel clinical studies were 3.4% (74/2150) and 0.2% (4/2150), respectively.

The clinical performance of each Xpert GI Panel analyte was compared to those of an FDA cleared molecular assay (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) for most analytes. A composite of three FDA-cleared molecular assays was used for Campylobacter and Yersinia. Specimens were considered positive if at least two of the three comparator assays had positive results, and the specimens were considered negative if at least two of three comparator assays had negative results. A composite of 2 PCR assays followed by bi-directional sequencing was used for Norovirus. For STEC stx1, STEC stx2, and V. parahaemolyticus analytes, if the FDA cleared molecular assay was positive, a second FDA cleared molecular assay was performed to provide species differentiation. Specimens with discrepant results were investigated on an independent
K251721 - Page 30 of 35

FDA cleared molecular assay. For each analyte in the Xpert GI Panel, the performance (Positive Percent Agreement (PPA), Negative Percent Agreement (NPA), and the 95% confidence interval (CI)) of the Xpert GI Panel as compared to the comparator method in prospective specimens is presented in Table 22. The number of specimens included in the performance calculations for each analyte were based on availability of valid results for Xpert GI Panel and the comparator method for the analyte and are presented in Table 22.
