Intended Use

The BD Vaginal Panel is an automated qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of DNA targets from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (qualitative results reported based on detection and quantitation of targeted organism markers), Candida species associated with vulvovaginal candidiasis, and/or Trichomonas vaginalis. The test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of specific DNA targets and utilizes fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes to detect and differentiate DNA from: - Bacterial vaginosis (BV) markers (Individual markers are not reported) o Lactobacillus spp. (L. crispatus and L. jensenii) o Gardnerella vaginalis o Atopobium vaginae o Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2 (BVAB-2) o Megasphaera-1 - Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) markers (Markers are reported in the following groups) o Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. dubliniensis) o Candida glabrata o Candida krusei - Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) The assay may be used to detect DNA associated with BV, VVC, and TV, or a subset of these conditions per clinician order, in vaginal swab specimens collected from patients who are symptomatic for vaginitis/vaginosis. The BD Vaginal Panel is intended to aid in the diagnosis of vaginal infections in women with a clinical presentation consistent with bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and trichomoniasis. The BD Vaginal Panel is available for use with the BD MAX™ System or the BD COR™ System.

Device Story

BD Vaginal Panel; nucleic acid-based multiplex test system. Modification allows users to select specific assays for reporting based on clinician orders. Operates via clinical laboratory instrumentation; processes vaginal samples to detect specific microbial targets. Output provides diagnostic information to clinicians for patient management. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained technicians. Modification maintains fundamental scientific technology of previously cleared device.

Clinical Evidence

No new clinical data presented. Clinical utility is unchanged from DEN160001. The manufacturer asserts that enabling result masking for subsets of conditions does not impact analytical or clinical performance, as the detection logic for each condition remains independent and unchanged.

Technological Characteristics

Real-time PCR assay; uses fluorogenic TaqMan hydrolysis probes. Automated extraction via magnetic affinity beads with lyticase. Compatible with BD MAX and BD COR systems. Software-controlled result reporting allows masking of specific targets. No changes to materials or sensing principles compared to predicate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the detection of nucleic acid sequences from microorganisms associated with vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, and Trichomonas vaginalis.

### Special Conditions for Use Statement: For Prescription Use Only

Special Instrument Requirements: BD COR™ System, BD MAX™ System

### Device Description

{8}------------------------------------------------

The BD Vaginal Panel is an automated, qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for bacterial vaginosis markers. Candida species associated with vulyovaginal candidiasis, and Trichomonas vaginalis. From a single specimen, a vaginal swab collected from a patient who is symptomatic for vaginitis or vaginosis, the test provides qualitative (positive) results for the presence of the following conditions and/or organisms:

- Bacterial vaginosis (based on detection of Lactobacillus spp. (L. crispatus and L. . jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2, and Megasphaera-1)
- Candida spp. (C. albicans, c. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis) .
- Candida glabrata ●
- Candida krusei ●
- Trichomonas vaginalis ●

The BD Vaginal Panel is available for use with the BD MAX™ System or the BD COR™ System under the trade names BD MAX™ Vaginal Panel and BD Vaginal Panel, respectively. The assay previously provided results for all five targets for every specimen run, regardless of whether the ordering clinician desires evaluation of all reported conditions. After clearance of this 510(k) submission, BD will release updates to the BD MAX™ and BD COR ™ software to allow users the versatility to mask results, per specimen, based on the order received from the clinician. This change allows a laboratory to use the BD Vaginal Panel to test a specimen for an individual target group (BV, VVC, or TV) or any two of the three targeted conditions, in addition to the current configuration that reports all three conditions simultaneously.

### Test Principle

The BD Vaginal Panel is designed for use with the BD Molecular Swab Collection Kit. Samples are transported to the testing laboratory in Sample Buffer Tubes. The Sample Buffer Tubes are vortexed to release cells from the swab into the buffer, after which they are loaded on the BD MAX™ System or the BD COR™ System, along with instrument-specific consumables. No further operator intervention is necessary, and the following automated procedures occur. The bacterial cells are lysed, and DNA is extracted, captured, and concentrated on magnetic beads. After an elution step, the DNA solution is added to reagents containing specific primers and probes used to amplify and detect the genetic targets if present. After reconstitution, the instrument dispenses a fixed volume of PCR-ready solution containing extracted nucleic acids into the PCR Cartridge. Microvalves in the cartridge are sealed by the system prior to initiating PCR to contain the amplification mixture and thus prevent evaporation and contamination. Upon amplification, signal detection and interpretation are performed automatically by the instrument using real time PCR. The Extraction reagent includes a Sample Processing Control, which monitors the integrity of the reagents as well as the process steps involved in DNA extraction, amplification, and detection, and checks for the presence of potential assay inhibitors.

The amplified DNA targets are detected using hydrolysis (TaqMan®) probes, labeled at one end with a fluorescent reporter dye (fluorophore), and at the other end, with a quencher moiety.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Probes labeled with different fluorophores are used to detect the target analytes in different optical channels of the instrument. When the probes are in their native state, the fluorescence of the fluorophore is quenched due to its proximity to the quencher. However, in the presence of target DNA, the probes hybridize to their complementary sequences and are hydrolyzed by the 5'-3' exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase as it synthesizes the nascent strand along the DNA template. As a result, the fluorophores are separated from the quencher molecules and fluorescence is emitted. The amount of fluorescence detected in the optical channels used for the BD Vaginal Panel is directly proportional to the quantity of the corresponding probe that is hydrolyzed. The instrument monitors these signals at each cycle of the PCR and interprets the data at the end of the reaction to provide qualitative test results for each analyte (i.e., positive or negative).

The BD Vaginal Panel is divided into two Master Mixes, as described below.

- The Vaginitis Master Mix contains reagents for detection of the following targets: .
- Candida spp (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. dubliniensis) ●
- Candida glabrata
- Candida krusei
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- The Vaginosis Master Mix contains reagents for detection of the following . bacterial vaginosis markers:
- Gardnerella vaginalis ●
- Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus jensenii ●
- Atopobium vaginae ●
- Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2 (BVAB-2) ●
- Megasphaera-1 ●
