Indications for Use
The MagXtract collection tube collection tube is intended for the stabilization, transportation, and direct lysis of infectious unprocessed nasopharyngeal samples suspected of containing SARS-COV-2 virus RNA. These devices can be used for collection transport and storage of specimens at refrigerated (2-8°C) or ambient temperatures (20-25°C). Specimens collected and stored in a MagXtract collection tube are suitable for use with legally marketed molecular diagnostic devices.
Device Story
MagXtract Collection Tube is a sterile 5 mL cryogenic tube pre-filled with 1.2 mL of proprietary MagBio CTL Medium. It is used for the collection, transport, and storage of nasopharyngeal swab samples suspected of containing SARS-CoV-2. The device functions by chemically lysing cells and stabilizing viral RNA at ambient or refrigerated temperatures. The tube is used by healthcare professionals at the point of collection; samples are then transported to a laboratory. In the lab, the stabilized sample is processed (e.g., using paramagnetic beads on a KingFisher Flex system) to extract RNA for downstream molecular diagnostic testing (e.g., RT-PCR). By preserving RNA integrity during transport, the device ensures accurate diagnostic results, facilitating timely clinical decision-making for COVID-19 management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Analytical performance established via LoD testing (1.0x10^1 TCID50/mL) using 20 replicates. RNA stability confirmed over 5 days at 2-8°C and 20-25°C with maximum Ct change of 1.3. Viral inactivation efficacy demonstrated against 1.0x10^6 TCID50/mL SARS-CoV-2 after 60 minutes exposure using cell culture-based viability assays.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile 5 mL cryogenic plastic collection tube containing 1.2 mL proprietary stabilization/lysis buffer (MagBio CTL Medium). Functions via chemical lysis and RNA stabilization. Compatible with standard molecular diagnostic workflows. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the stabilization, transportation, and direct lysis of infectious unprocessed nasopharyngeal samples suspected of containing SARS-COV-2 virus RNA in patients requiring molecular diagnostic testing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A microbial nucleic acid storage and stabilization device is a device that consists of a container and reagents intended to stabilize microbial nucleic acids in human specimens for subsequent isolation and purification of nucleic acids for further molecular testing. The device is not intended for preserving morphology or viability of microorganisms.
Special Controls
The special controls for this device are: (1) The intended use for the 21 CFR 809.10 labeling must include a detailed description of microorganisms and types of human specimens intended to be preserved. (2) The 21 CFR 809.10(b) labeling must include: (i) A detailed device description, including all device components. (ii) Performance characteristics from applicable analytical studies, including but not limited to, nucleic acid stability and microorganism inactivation. (iii) A limiting statement that erroneous results may occur when the transport device is not compatible with molecular testing. (iv) A limiting statement that the device has only been validated to preserve the representative microorganisms used in the analytical studies. (3) Design verification and validation must include the following: (i) Overall device design including all device components and all control elements incorporated into the analytical validation procedures. (ii) Thorough description of the microorganisms and methodology used in the validation of the device including, but not limited to, extraction platforms and assays used for the detection of preserved nucleic acids. (iii) The limit of detection (LoD) of the molecular test used to establish microorganism nucleic acid stability.
