In vitro diagnostic medical device

This test is a qualitative in vitro test for the direct detection of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) RNA and dengue virus (DENV)
serotypes 1-4 RNA in human plasma.

Intended purpose

P1

what is detected and/or measured
please specify the analyte(s) or marker(s), e.g. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, Kel1 (K)

P2

function of the device
e.g. diagnosis, aid to diagnosis, monitoring, determining the infectious load, tissue typing etc

The test is intended for use to screen donor samples for CHIKV RNA or DENV RNA alone or to simultaneously screen for both CHIKV and DENV RNA in plasma from individual human donors, including donors of whole
blood, blood components, and other living donors. This test is also intended for use to
screen organ and tissue donors when donor samples are obtained while the donor’s heart is still beating.

P3

the specific disorder, condition or risk factor of
interest that it is intended to detect, define or
differentiate e.g. hepatitis C infection, exposure to SARS-CoV-2, risk of HIV transmission in blood transfusion etc.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) transmission in blood transfusion.

P4

whether it is automated or not

Automated

P5

whether it is qualitative, semi-quantitative or
quantitative

Qualitative.

P6

type of specimen(s)
e.g. whole blood, serum, saliva etc

Plasma

P7

where applicable, the testing population
e.g. persons with specific health conditions,
persons with specific symptoms, children in a
certain age range

Living donors of whole blood, blood
components and other living donors.
Organ and tissue donors.

P8

intended user

Trained laboratory professionals who are proficient in using automated platform

Technology

T1

principle of the assay method or principles of operation of the instrument e.g. real-time PCR, qualitative PCR, digital PCR, sandwich immunoassay, competitive immunoassay, immunoturbidimetric assay etc.
