Similar to the previously FDA cleared Visby Medical Sexual Health Click Test (referred as "Click Test" hereafter, K200748/CW200003), the Visby Medical Sexual Health Test (referred as "Visby Test" hereafter) is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated and compact device containing a PCR-based assay for direct qualitative detection and differentiation of DNA from CT, NG, and TV from self-collected female vaginal swab samples. The Visby Test was developed to further simplify the user interface and to enable the automated manufacture of the device. The Visby Test has no changes to the PCR primer and probe sequences, reagent formulations, detection method, or result interpretations.
K220407 - Page 2 of 13

The test system includes the Visby Medical Sexual Health device (see figure below), the reusable Visby Medical power adaptor, the Visby Medical Vaginal Specimen Collection kit, and fixed-volume transfer pipette. The Visby Medical Vaginal Collection kit includes a flocked swab and a tube containing the Visby Collection Media. Patients are instructed to self-collect the sample and elute it into the Visby Collection Media.

Visby Medical Sexual Health Device (Visby Test)
A test operator transfers the collection media (containing patient specimen) into the sample port of the device using the provided fixed-volume pipette and then slides a purple switch on the front of the device to both close the sample port and initiate the fully automated testing process. The device processes self-collected vaginal swab samples by automatically performing all steps required to complete lysis, polymerase chain reaction, and amplicon detection.
There are four LED lights on the lower left corner of the device that are used to communicate the test status, see below. Stable white light in the shape of a power symbol will appear indicating the test is plugged in. In addition, three progress lights to the right of the power light will each blink for $\sim 10$ minutes in sequence and then provide a stable white light to indicate the progression of the test. At the conclusion of the test, a green check mark next to the white lights signals that the test run completed successfully. A 'Red X' during or at the end of the run indicates a run failure.

When the run has completed, the operator visually interprets the status lights on the front of the device and the colorimetric output in the detection window. As shown in the figure below, a valid test will have both an illuminated green check mark and a purple spot adjacent to "RESULTS VALID" in the detection window as shown below.

K220407 - Page 3 of 13
{3}
For valid tests, a purple spot next to the name of a pathogen indicates a positive result for that target. The following figures illustrate some examples of valid test results, including a negative result for all pathogens (upper left figure) and a positive result for NG and TV (upper right figure). In addition, any shade of purple with distinct edges next to the target is a positive result (figure on the bottom).



In the case of a "Red X" error or lack of a purple "RESULTS VALID" spot (see figure below), the test is invalid, and the operator is instructed to repeat the test. If the subsequent test is also invalid, the operator is instructed to collect a new sample and repeat the test with a new device.

The device has built-in procedural controls. These include an internal process control and built-in electronic control. The internal process control monitors effective sample preparation, PCR amplification, and detection. The electronic control monitors if device is being operated outside of its temperature range or if there are any other device errors. The result of the internal process control is displayed in the detection window while the results of the electronic controls are displayed using the status lights.
Third-party external positive and negative controls are recommended for use with this test. These controls are not provided with the device and must be purchased separately by the customer directly from the manufacturer. The labeling states that the external controls "must be tested once with each new shipment received and once for each untrained operator."
K220407 - Page 4 of 13

K220407 - Page 5 of 13
## B Principle of Operation:
The device houses all the reagents to perform the testing process. The patient sample enters the lysis module where it rehydrates a lyophilized internal process control organism. DNA from the sample and the internal process control are released using a combination of chemical lysis and high temperature. The mixture then enters a mixing chamber where it rehydrates lyophilized PCR reagents, followed by 40 cycles of thermocycling to amplify target DNA. If present, the amplified pathogen target (CT, NG, and/or TV) and the amplified internal process control hybridize to specific probes located on a flow cell. Detection of the target-specific PCR product is accomplished via an enzyme-linked colorimetric assay using streptavidin bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a colorimetric substrate that forms a purple precipitate. Test results can be expected in approximately 30 minutes and will be visually interpreted by the operator.

B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison between the Visby Test and the Click Test:
To demonstrate that the performance of the Visby Test is comparable to that of the Click Test, the following three studies were conducted:
K220407 - Page 9 of 13
{9}
- Testing performed at external CLIA waived sites. A total of 102 remnant vaginal swab specimens, a subset from the previous clinical study for Click Test, were tested with the Visby Test at external CLIA waived sites by untrained operators.
- In-house testing with trained operators. A second clinical comparison study was performed to supplement the number of positive specimens tested, with a focus on testing a sample set representing a natural distribution of the pathogen loads in the intended use population, including those with low target levels. Therefore, for this study, all remnant specimens, with sufficient volume and patient consent, from the previous clinical study of the Click Test were included in this study. The above specimens were further supplemented with archived and banked frozen self-collected samples from two other previous studies conducted by Visby Medical. These specimens were tested in house by trained operators.
- In-house study with contrived samples at near LoD target concentrations. Each individual sample was prepared in an individual negative clinical matrix, with the intention to mimic the patient specimen as much as possible.
1) Testing at external CLIA waived sites
Archived frozen vaginal swab patient samples that had been previously characterized in the clinical study for the Click Test were tested. The frozen samples were de-identified, randomized, and blinded to the study staff and test operators. The panel included 30 CT positive, 20 NG positive, 30 TV positive and 33 specimens that were negative for all three pathogens. The testing was performed with Visby Tests at three external study sites in the United States representing CLIA waived settings by a total of six untrained operators (two operators at each site). Operators thawed the samples and tested them on-site by following the instructions in the QRG. The performance of the Visby Test was evaluated by comparing the Visby Test results to the results from Click Test recorded during the previous clinical study. Of the 102 specimens (seven of these samples are double positive and two are triple positive) included in the study, two (2.4%) had an initial invalid test result. One sample was excluded from the performance evaluation because it was invalid upon retesting. There were no additional exclusions. Please refer to the following table for performance evaluation.

All specimens meeting the inclusion criteria (see below) from the previous clinical study of Click Test were included in this study. To obtain a sufficient number of positive specimens (by the comparator assays) for each analyte, these specimens were further supplemented with archived and banked frozen self-collected samples meeting the same inclusion criteria from two other previous studies conducted by Visby Medical. Target negative patient specimens were also included in this study, and all positive and negative specimens were de-identified, randomized and blinded to the operators.
The inclusion criteria for this study:
- Self-collected vaginal swab in Visby Medical Collection Media from a female subject ≥14 years of age at the time of specimen collection.
- Age and symptomatic status of the subject at the time of specimen collection is available.
- Swab specimen was obtained from a collection wherein the subject consented/assented to future unspecified research use.
- Minimum sample volume of 1.0 mL.
A total of 359 de-identified archived frozen self-collected vaginal swab specimens were provided to the operators for testing. One specimen had less than 1 mL of volume and thus could not be tested. Of the remaining 358 specimens, seven were excluded from performance evaluation due to the following listed reasons.
- One specimen had invalid result for both the initial and retest on the Visby Test and thus was excluded.
- Five specimens yielded invalid results on the Visby Test and there was insufficient volume to run a retest, thus these specimens were excluded.
- One specimen had invalid result for both the initial and retest on the Click Test and thus was excluded.
Therefore, a total of 351 specimens were included in the performance evaluation.
Testing with Visby devices was conducted by seven trained operators internally at Visby Medical over seven days under variable lighting conditions throughout the day. When sufficient sample volume was present, specimens were tested on both the Click Test and the Visby Test to allow for performance comparison. Specimens without sufficient volume (27/351) to run on both devices were tested only on the Visby Test, and the original Click Test results from the previous Click Test clinical studies were used for the comparison. Please refer to the following table for performance estimates calculations.

a. TV PIS (based on the data from the clinical study for Click Test) for all seven specimens were negative.
Note that 4 CT, 3 NG, and 6 TV positive specimens tested at the external sites in the first study had sufficient volume and were also tested in the internal study. Therefore, a total of 142 CT, 51 NG and 124 TV positive patient specimens (by the comparator assays) were tested in the above two Clinical Comparison studies.
The initial invalid rate for Visby Test is 3.1% (11/358) and the final invalid rate is 0.3% (1/353, five out the 11 initial invalids did not have sufficient volume for retest).
3) In-house testing with contrived samples
20 contrived samples with target concentrations at 1.5x LoD (N=6), 2x LoD (N=10) and 3x LoD (N=4) for each analyte were prepared in individual negative clinical matrices. An additional 20 negatives, prepared with pooled negative clinical matrix collected from consented subjects under IRB-approved protocols, were included in the study. All samples were randomized, blinded and tested on both the Click Test as well as the Visby Test in-house. All 80 contrived samples yielded valid results (no initial invalids) and were included in the final data analysis. The results of this study are presented in the table below.
