Submitter: Binax, Inc. 217 Read Street Portland, Maine 04103 Pamela S. Angell Attention: (207) 772-3988 Office (207) 871-5751 FAX Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test Trade Name: Common Name: Legionella ICT Haemophilus spp. serological reagents (per Classification Name: 21 CFR 8660.3300) Binax Legionella Urinary Antigen EIA, 510(k) Predicate Device: number K934965/S1 The Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Device Description: Test is an immunochromatographic membrane detect Legionella pneumophila assay to serogroup 1 antigen in human urine. A test gold-conjugated and strip, containing anti-Legionella pneumophila immobilized serogroup 1 antibodies, and a swab well are mounted on opposite sides of a cardboard, book-shaped hinged test device. A dacron swab is dipped into the urine to be tested and then inserted into the swab well. A single reagent is added to the swab well from a dropper bottle before closing the Soluble antigen captured by test device. anti-Legionella pneumophila immobilized bind the serogroup 1 antibody reacts to visualizing gold-conjugate. There are no transferring steps, the sample is contained, and results are available within 15 minutes. {1}------------------------------------------------ Binax, Inc. Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test 510(k) Notification # 510 (k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (Continued) NOWTMLegionella Urinary Antigen Intended Use: Binax The Test is intended for in vitro diagnostic use qualitatively detect the presence of to Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 soluble antigen in human urine. The indication statements are the same as those made for the predicate device. Technological Characteristics : Both the Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary and the Binax Legionella Urinary Antigen Antigen EIA tests use a solid phase coated with polyclonal rabbit antibody to detect Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen samples. However, in human urine the predicate device is an enzyme immunoassay a horseradish peroxidase employing (EIA) conjugate and a microtiter well solid phase, Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary while the Test is an immunochromatographic Antigen assay utilizing a colloidal gold conjugate and a membrane solid phase. Furthermore, the predicate device is a multi-step assay requiring calculation of a ratio for result interpretation while the NOW™ membrane test simple and rapid test interpreted is a visually by the presence or absence of two pink-to-purple colored lines. Performance Summary: The Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test for Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in urine is substantially equivalent predicate device, Binax Legionella to the Antigen EIA (K934965/S1) . The Urinary performance of the Binax NOW™ Legionella Test was verified by Antigen Urinary specificity, and sensitivity, reproducibility studies using well characterized frozen urine specimens and Refer to attached volunteer urine donors.

Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test 510(k) Notification ## 510 (k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (Continued) ## PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ## BINAX NOW™ LEGIONELLA URINARY ANTIGEN TEST #### Sensitivity and Specificity: Because of the low rate of positivity of Legionella pneumonia, test sensitivity and specificity were determined by testing 300 well characterized frozen urine specimens in both the Binax NOW™ Legionella (NOW™) and in the Binax Legionella Urinary Antigen EIA The University of Indiana conducted all testing. (EIA) Tests. EIA and NOW™ test sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on performance versus Clinical Diagnosis. Specimens were considered true positives when the presence of infection was confirmed by culture, RIA, DFA or IFA. NOW™ test sensitivity is 97% compared to 95% for the predicate device. Now™ test specificity is 98% compared to 94% for the predicate device. ### Cross-Reactivity : for Legionella pneumophila The 200 urines presumed negative serogroup 1 were positive for other bacterial or fungal pneumonia or urinary tract infections, allowing a comparison of the NOW™ and predicate device cross-reactivities. One hundred ninety six (196) of the 200 patient specimens produced negative results in the NOW™ test for a specificity of 98%. further demonstrate Binax test specificity, 106 presumed To negative urine specimens were tested in the Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test. All specimens tested negative. #### Reproducibility: A blind study of the NOW™ test was conducted at 3 separate sites panel of coded specimens containing negative, low using a positive, moderate positive and high positive swabs. Individuals diverse educational backgrounds performed testing on ਤੇ of different days. One hundred percent (100%) of the 360 samples tested were correctly interpreted. ### Quality Control: The ability of the Binax NOW™ Legionella Urinary Antigen Test control to indicate test failure was evaluated when 3 operators each ran 20 kit controls in a panel of 20 devices, 9 of which had been rendered inoperative. The number of defective devices and the defect itself were not apparent to the operator. All ୧୦ devices were correctly interpreted as positive, negative, or invalid. {3}------------------------------------------------ Binax, Inc. Binax, Inc.
