UltraGene Assay SARS-CoV-2 Triplex, Screening, Multi-Variants and Typing V1.x (CE-IVD)

161A1000

Description

The UltraGene Assay SARS-CoV-2 Triplex (CE-IVD) is a screening, Multi-Variants and Typing V1 is a RT-PCR test intended to be used for the qualitative detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 and the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 deletions HV 69/70 (Δ69), Y144 (Δ144) and 242-244 (Δ242) on the Spike (S) gene and the deletion SGF 3675-3677 (Δ3675) on the ORF1ab gene in upper respiratory specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.

Assay results are for the Detection/Identification of:

  • RNA from the SARS-CoV-2
  • UK Variant : the Spike Δ69 and Spike Δ144 and ORF1ab Δ3675 indicate an infection with SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (i.e. United Kingdom VOC 202012/01, VOC 202102/02; “UK”)
  • South Africa variant : the Spike Δ242 and ORF1ab Δ3675 indicate an infection with SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.351 (i.e. South Africa VOC 202012/02; “SA”)
  • Brazil Variant : the ORF1ab Δ3675 alone indicates an infection with SARS-CoV-2 lineage P.1 (i.e. Brazil VOC 202101/02; “BR”)

Methodology

Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)

Intended user

The product is intended to be used by qualified clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures.

Other

In addition of the PCR amplification reagents, the test include external controls (positive control and a negative control) and an internal control.

Analytical sensitivity (Limit of Detection (LoD))

- 1150 TCID50/mL for the QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR instrument
- 115 TCID50/mL for SARS-CoV-2 with the UltraGene qPCR 48 instrument

Inclusivity (analytical reactivity)

No mismatches on >96.5% of the 47,393 sequences in the Inclusivity dataset

Cross-reactivity (in-silico)

No potential unintended cross reactivity is expected based on this in silico analysis

Cross-reactivity (wet testing)

For cross-reactivity wet testing, the UltraGene Assay SARS-CoV-2 Triplex, Screening, Multi-Variants and Typing V1 did not react (i.e., tested positive) when tested with the microorganisms that are commonly found in upper respiratory specimens and tested at the indicated concentration, both for the Screening and the Variant detection and typing steps

Clinical sensitivity

Performance against the expected results are:
• Positive Percent Agreement 30/30 = 100% (95% CI: 88.65%-100.00%)
• Negative Percent Agreement 30/30 = 100% (95% CI: 88.65%-100.00%)

Clinical reproducibility

EQA Pilot Study: 100% clinical accuracy
