Indications for Use
The xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) is a multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral, parasitic, and bacterial nucleic acids in human stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. The following pathogen types, subtypes and toxin genes are identified using the xTAG GPP: Campylobacter (C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari only) . Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) toxin A/B ● Cryptosporidium (C. parvum and C. hominis only) ● Escherichia coli (E. coli) 0157 . Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) LT/ST ● Giardia (G. lamblia only also known as G. intestinalis and G. duodenalis) . Norovirus GI/GII . Rotavirus A . Salmonella ● Shiga-like Toxin producing E. coli (STEC) stx 1/stx 2 . Shigella (S. boydii, S. sonnei, S. flexneri and S. dysenteriae) ● The detection and identification of specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infection when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings and epidemiological information. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection and identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks. xTAG® GPP positive results are presumptive and must be confirmed by FDAcleared tests or other acceptable reference methods. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Confirmed positive results do not rule out coinfection with other organisms that are not detected by this test, and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel 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. xTAG GPP is not intended to monitor or guide treatment for C. difficile infections. The xTAG GPP is indicated for use with the Luminex® MAGPIX® instrument.
Device Story
Multiplexed nucleic acid test for qualitative detection of gastrointestinal pathogens (viral, parasitic, bacterial) in human stool. Input: stool specimens. Process: nucleic acid extraction and amplification followed by detection on Luminex MAGPIX instrument. Output: identification of specific pathogens/toxin genes. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results aid diagnosis of infectious colitis/gastroenteritis and outbreak identification. Results are presumptive; require confirmation by reference methods. Not for sole diagnostic use or C. difficile treatment monitoring.
Technological Characteristics
Multiplexed nucleic acid-based assay. Designed for use with the Luminex MAGPIX instrument. Qualitative detection of viral, parasitic, and bacterial nucleic acids.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. Used for qualitative detection and identification of viral, parasitic, and bacterial nucleic acids in human stool specimens. Not intended to monitor or guide treatment for C. difficile infections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to simultaneously detect and identify multiple gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acids extracted from human stool specimens. The device detects specific nucleic acid sequences for organism identification as well as for determining the presence of toxin genes. The detection and identification of a specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infection when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation and other laboratory findings. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection and identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls are set forth in FDA's guideline document entitled: “Class II Special Controls Guideline: Gastrointestinal Microorganism Multiplex Nucleic Acid-Based Assays for Detection and Identification of Microorganisms and Toxin Genes from Human Stool Specimens.” For availability of the guideline document, see § 866.1(e).
