Intended Use
The BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the direct and qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs of symptomatic patients. The BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B is a differentiated test, such that influenza A viral antigens can be distinguished from influenza B viral antigens from a single processed sample using a single device. The test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections. A negative test is presumptive and it is recommended that these results be confirmed by viral culture or an FDA-cleared influenza A and B molecular assay. Negative test results do not preclude influenza viral infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. The test is not intended to detect influenza C antigens. Performance characteristics for influenza A and B were established during January through March of 2011 when influenza viruses A/2009 H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria lineage, and B/Yamagata lineage were the predominant influenza viruses in circulation according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from the CDC entitled "Update: Influenza Activity-United States, 2010-2011 Season, and Composition of the 2011-2012 Influenza Vaccine." Performance characteristics may vary against other emerging influenza viruses. If infection with a novel influenza virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent influenza viruses and sent to the state or local health department for testing. Virus culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
Device Story
The BD Veritor System is a point-of-care diagnostic tool for influenza A and B. It utilizes a chromatographic immunoassay where processed respiratory samples are applied to a test strip; influenza antigens bind to antibody-conjugated detector particles; the complex migrates to a reaction area for capture by an antibody line. A portable electronic reader performs reflectance-based measurement of line signal intensities on the strip. The reader applies algorithms to evaluate these intensities against pre-set thresholds to determine the presence or absence of analytes. Results are displayed on an LCD screen for the operator. This system aids clinicians in rapid diagnosis, allowing for immediate patient management decisions, though negative results are presumptive and require molecular or culture confirmation.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center POC study (5 U.S. sites, 8 Japan sites) with 736 prospective nasopharyngeal and nasal swab specimens. Compared against FDA-cleared molecular PCR assays. U.S. PPA: 78.7% (Flu A), 74.3% (Flu B); NPA: 97.8% (Flu A), 99.5% (Flu B). Japan PPA: 94.4% (Flu A), 91.4% (Flu B); NPA: 96.7% (Flu A), 94.7% (Flu B). Reproducibility evaluated at 3 POC sites using 30 simulated samples.
Technological Characteristics
Immunochromatographic assay; portable electronic reader; reflectance-based measurement; LCD output. Uses internal positive/negative controls and external dry swab procedural controls.
Indications for Use
Indicated for symptomatic patients requiring rapid, qualitative, differentiated detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs. Not for detection of influenza C.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An influenza virus antigen detection test system is a device intended for the qualitative detection of influenza viral antigens directly from clinical specimens in patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The test aids in the diagnosis of influenza infection and provides epidemiological information on influenza. Due to the propensity of the virus to mutate, new strains emerge over time which may potentially affect the performance of these devices. Because influenza is highly contagious and may lead to an acute respiratory tract infection causing severe illness and even death, the accuracy of these devices has serious public health implications.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device's sensitivity and specificity performance characteristics or positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement, for each specimen type claimed in the intended use of the device, must meet one of the following two minimum clinical performance criteria:

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
BD Diagnostic Systems Becton, Dickinson and Company
{1}------------------------------------------------
The BD Flu A+B test is a chromatographic assay to qualitatively detect influenza A and B viral antigens in samples processed from respiratory specimens. The processed specimen is added to the test device where influenza A or influenza B viral anti-influenza antibodies conjugated to detector particles on the A+B test strip. The antigen-conjugate complex migrates across the test strip to the reaction area and is captured by an antibody line on the membrane. Results are interpreted by the BD Veritor™ System Reader, a portable electronic device which uses a reflectance-based measurement method to evaluate the line signal intensities on the assay test strip, and applies specific algorithms to determine the presence or absence of any target analyte(s). A liquid crystal display (LCD) on the instrument communicates the results to the operator.

# Clinical Performance .
## Clinical Performance:
Performance characteristics for the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B test were established in multi-center Point-of-Care (POC) studies conducted at five U.S. trial sites and eight Japan trial sites during the 2010-2011 respiratory season. A total of 736 prospective specimens (515 in the U.S and 221 in Japan) were evaluated using the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B test and PCR. These specimens consisted of nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs from symptomatic patients. In the U.S. 54% of the samples were from females with 46% from males. 20.3% were from patients less than or equal to 5 years of age. 40.8% of the patients tested were in the 6-21 year age group, 35.6% were from 22-59 years of age and the remaining 3.3% were obtained from people greater than or equal to age 60. In Japan, 43.3% of the samples were from females with 56.7% from males. 27.3% of the samples were from patients less than or equal to 5 years of age. 58.4% were from patients in the 16-21 year age group. 13.1% from 22-59 years of age and 1.3% were obtained from people greater than or equal to age 60.
The performance of the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B test at the U.S. sites were compared to an FDA cleared Influenza A and B molecular assay and are presented in Table 1 through Table 3.

Dear Mr. Payne:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket

510(k) Number:
## Device Name: BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B
#### Indications for Use:
The BD Veritor™ System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the direct and qualitative detection of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs of symptomatic patients. The BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B is a differentiated test, such that influenza A viral antigens can be distinguished from influenza B viral antigens from a single processed sample using a single device. The test is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections. A negative test is presumptive and it is recommended that these results be confirmed by viral culture or an FDA-cleared influenza A and B molecular assay. Negative test results do not preclude influenza viral infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. The test is not intended to detect influenza C antigens.
Performance characteristics for influenza A and B were established during January through March of 2011 when influenza viruses A/2009 H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria lineage, and B/Yamagata lineage were the predominant influenza viruses in circulation according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from the CDC entitled "Update: Influenza Activity-United States, 2010-2011 Season, and Composition of the 2011-2012 Influenza Vaccine." Performance characteristics may vary against other emerging influenza viruses.
If infection with a novel influenza virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent influenza viruses and sent to the state or local health department for testing. Virus culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
