简要总结
The ARROW-FLU Influenza A&B Test is an in vitro diagnostic immuno-chromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection of influenza A and influenza B viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasal or nasopharyngeal swab specimens in symptomatic patients. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and/or B viral infections. This test is not intended for the detection of influenza C viruses. A negative test is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by cell culture of an FDA cleared molecular device. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions.
详细描述
This multicenter prospective study will include nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from patients who present with flu-like symptoms and have undergone routine testing for influenza virus strain types A or B. The ARROW-FLU Influenza A&B Test System qualitative results will be compared to a reference method for identification of Influenza A or B to determine the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the device.
The ARROW-FLU Influenza A&B Test system will be performed at CLIA-waived and non-CLIA waived clinical sites. Device operators at CLIA-waived sites will be untrained intended users (e.g. nurses, physician assistants, medical assistants, etc).
A subject's participation in this study will consist of a single visit. Following completion of the informed consent process and a review of Inclusion/Exclusion criteria to determine eligibility, each subject will receive a unique study identification number. After standard of care sampling, two (2) nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs will be obtained from each subject enrolled in the study. The swabs will be collected from the same nostril and alternated in their order of designation for testing (i.e. one for ARROW-FLU Influenza System testing and the other for reference testing. Any swab specimens required for standard of care testing will be collected prior to the specimens for this investigation. Investigational device operators will be blinded to standard of care testing results.

结局指标
主要结局
Performance of the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 5 months
The primary objective of this study is the characterization of the performance of the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test to detect influenza virus strain type A or type B in symptomatic subjects. Qualitative results obtained using the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test will be compared to a reference method or "Gold Standard" (viral culture and/or an FDA cleared molecular assay). Performance data generated will support a 510k submission to FDA for clearance of the assay.
次要结局
- Ability of untrained intended users to effectively perform the ARROW-FLU Influenza Test(Through study completion, an average of 5 months)
