Assay, Direct, Nucleic Acid Amplification, Q Fever

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
These reagents are nucleic acid primers and probes intended for the amplification and identification of Coxiella burnetii directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Q Fever and provides epidemiological information on this disease. This reagent differs from the description in the regulation in that it consists of nucleic acid primers and probes rather than antisera or antigens.
Physical State
A kit that contains reagents and an instrument that measures flourescence.
Technical Method
The Q Fever assay uses a real-time thermocycler. A real-time thermocycler is intended to identify and/or quantify the presence of specific sequences of double stranded DNA, amplified from a biological source and labeled with fluorescently labeled probes or through the use of intercalating dyes and detect using a high-power light-emitting diode (LED). Fluorescence emission is detected through the use of filters on a photodiode. The emission filters are optimized for use with specific fluorescent dyes.

CFR § 866.3500 Rickettsia serological reagents

§ 866.3500 Rickettsia serological reagents.

(a) Identification. Rickettsia serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to rickettsia in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of rickettsial antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify rickettsia directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by virus-like bacteria belonging to the genus Rickettsiae and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Rickettsia are generally transmitted by arthropods (e.g., ticks and mosquitoes) and produce infections in humans characterized by rash and fever (e.g., typhus fever, spotted fever, Q fever, and trench fever).

(b) Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
