Detailed Description
The GenePOC GBS Test performed on the GenePOC System is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test designed to detect Group B Streptococcus (GBS) DNA from vaginal/rectal swabs from antepartum women following enrichment in Lim broth for 18-24 hours.
The GenePOC GBS Test utilizes automated sample preparation and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect a cfb gene sequence specific to the Streptococcus agalactiae genome. The GenePOC GBS Test is indicated for the identification of antepartum GBS colonization and does not provide susceptibility results. Culture isolates are needed for performing susceptibility testing as recommended for penicillin-allergic women.
The GenePOC GBS is an IVD system is comprised of the GenePOC Diagnostics System and the GenePOC Group B Step [GBS] Test, the components of which are:
- Instrument
- GBS disposable microfluidic cartridges (PIE) (described in this document as PIEs because of the shape of the cartridge)
- GBS Sample Buffer Tube (SBT)
- Sample Transfer Device (STD).
The GenePOC Instrument is fully automated and integrates sample lysis, dilution, amplification and detection of the target sequence in complex samples using real-time Polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR). User intervention is only required for discharging the patient sample into the SBT (sample Buffer Tube), transferring the sample into the PIE and for loading/unloading the PIEs into the instrument. The GenePOC instrument consists of a rotor to spin the PIEs, temperature control, fluorescence detection, a tactile user-friendly interface, two barcode readers, and integrated firmware and software to deliver results to the user. The PIE is a closed system that prevents the risk of contamination.
Lim Broth is used for the selective enrichment of group B streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae). An aliquot of the broth is mixed with GenePOC Sample Buffer Tube Reagent (SBT), after which a sample is transferred to the GenePOC GBS PIE. The GenePOC GBS PIE is then automatically processed by the GenePOC Instrument.
On completion of a run, the user removes the processed PIEs from the instrument and discards them according to local biological waste management procedures.
One GenePOC instrument per site will be allocated. The purpose of the clinical investigation is to enroll sufficient specimens from four (4) Clinical Centers to obtain a total of 150 specimens positive for GBS based on the Reference Method final result.
Subject Informed consent is not required for this clinical trial as the testing will be performed on excess de-identified specimens only.

EXPERIMENTAL: Accuracy Testing
Comparison between GenePOC PCR and Reference Method
|
Antepartum women swab specimen incubated in Lim Broth will be tested with the GenePOC GBS test on the GenePOC Instrument.
The results will be compared to Reference Method defined as incubated Lim broth subcultured onto blood agar plate for observation of a Streptococcus agalactiae strain.

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Performance Characteristics
Time Frame: At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
|
To establish the performance characteristics of the GenePOC GBS System for its use in determining the presence of GBS in vaginal/rectal swab, after Lim Broth enrichment, specimens from antepartum pregnant women. Sensitivity and specificity will be established in comparison to the Reference Method. Sensitivity performance results from the comparison of specimens being reported as positive by both method against the total number of specimen reported as positive on the Reference Method only. Sensitivity is reported as a percentage (i.e. concondant positives / concordant positive + discordant positive ([False Negative]). Specificity performance results from the comparison of specimens being reported as negative by both method against the total number of specimen reported as negative on the Reference Method only. Specificity is reported as a percentage (i.e. concondant negatives / concordant negatives + discordant negatives ([False Positive]). |

Positive and Negative Predictive Values
Time Frame: At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
|
To estimate the Positive and Negative Predictive Values (PPV and NPV) of the GenePOC GBS System. PPV results from the comparison of specimens being reported as positive by both method against the total number of specimen reported as positive on the Investigational test only. PPV is reported as a percentage (i.e. concondant positives / concordant positive + discordant positive ([False Positive]). NPV results from the comparison of specimens being reported as negative by both method against the total number of specimen reported as negative on the Investigational test only. NPV is reported as a percentage (i.e. concondant negatives / concordant negatives + discordant negatives ([False Negative]). |

Unresolved Sample Results
Time Frame: At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
|
To estimate the rate of unresolved results for the GenePOC GBS System due to Sample Processing control failure (unresolved sample results).
|
At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
|
Indeterminate Sample Results
Time Frame: At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
|
To estimate the rate of indeterminate results for the GenePOC GBS Test due to an Instrument failure (indeterminate sample results).
|
At the time of the results with Reference Method is confirmed, up to 6 months
