Indications for Use
The Focus Diagnostics Simplexa™ HSV 1 & 2 Direct is intended for use on the 3M Integrated Cycler instrument for the qualitative detection and differentiation of HSV-2 DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients suspected of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections of the central nervous system (CNS). This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections of the CNS. Negative results do not preclude HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. The assay is not intended for use as a donor screening test. The assay is for professional use only. The Simplexa™ HSV 1 & 2 Positive Control Pack is intended to be used as a control with the Simplexa™ HSV 1 & 2 Direct kit. This control is not intended for use with other assays or systems.
Device Story
Simplexa™ HSV 1 & 2 Direct is an in vitro diagnostic assay for qualitative detection/differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA in CSF. It utilizes real-time PCR technology on the 3M Integrated Cycler instrument, enabling direct amplification from unprocessed CSF without nucleic acid extraction. The device is used in clinical laboratory settings by professional operators. The modification involves an update to the Integrated Cycler Studio software (version 6.0) to address a vulnerability allowing manual dye spectra entry and to separate labeling for the Positive Control Pack. The software output provides qualitative results to clinicians to aid in diagnosing CNS HSV infections. The modification does not alter the fundamental scientific technology or intended use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation of Integrated Cycler Studio software version 6.0 demonstrated performance equivalent to previous software versions. Risk management and design control activities confirmed residual risks are acceptable and benefits outweigh risks.
Technological Characteristics
Real-time PCR for direct amplification/detection of HSV-1/HSV-2 DNA from unprocessed CSF. Operates on 3M Integrated Cycler instrument. Software: Integrated Cycler Studio version 6.0. Connectivity: Standalone instrument. Operating systems: Windows XP (SP3) and Windows 7.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA in CSF samples from patients suspected of CNS HSV infections. Aid in diagnosis. Professional use only. Not for donor screening.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A herpes simplex virus nucleic acid-based assay for central nervous system infections is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended for the detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients suspected of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections of the central nervous system (CNS). This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections of the CNS. Negative results do not preclude HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
Special Controls
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) Design verification and validation must include: (i) Detailed documentation for the device description, including the device components, ancillary reagents required but not provided, and a detailed explanation of the methodology, including primer design and selection. (ii) Detailed documentation from the following analytical and clinical performance studies: Analytical sensitivity (limit of detection), reactivity, inclusivity, precision, reproducibility, interference, cross reactivity, carryover, and cross contamination. Documentation must include reagent and sample stability recommendations. (iii) Detailed documentation from a clinical study. The study, performed on a study population consistent with the intended use population, must compare the device performance to the results of two polymerase chain reaction methods followed by bidirectional sequencing. (iv) Documentation of an appropriate end user device training program that will be offered as part of efforts to mitigate the risk of failure to correctly operate the instrument. (v) Quality assurance protocols and detailed documentation for device software, including standalone software applications and hardware-based devices that incorporate software. (2) The labeling required under § 809.10(b) of this chapter must include: (i) A detailed explanation of the interpretation of results and acceptance criteria. (ii) A limiting statement indicating that negative results do not preclude HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
