Intended Use
The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated,
automated Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in vitro diagnostic test intended for use
in point-of-care or clinical laboratory settings for the rapid detection and
differentiation of DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and
Trichomonas vaginalis in self-collected female vaginal swab specimens using the
Visby Medical Sexual Health Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit in a health care setting.
The test results are to aid in the diagnosis of symptomatic or asymptomatic infections
with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis.
Summary and Explanation of the Procedure
Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis
(TV) are three of the most common Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in the
United States. These infections are called “silent infections” as many infected people
are asymptomatic and lack abnormal physical examination findings. In 2018, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 4 million chlamydial
infections, 1.6 million gonococcal infections, and over 2 million trichomoniasis
infections occur annually in the United States but more than half are not reported
because most people are asymptomatic and are therefore not tested.
1,2,3
CT are gram-negative, nonmotile obligate intracellular bacteria. This species currently
includes nineteen serovars that can induce disease in humans, with Serovars D
through K known to be the major cause of genital chlamydial infections in men and
women.
4
If CT infections are left untreated, they can cause non-gonococcal urethritis,
acute salpingitis (an infection of the fallopian tubes), proctitis, cervicitis, and
epididymitis. Furthermore, in women, untreated CT can cause pelvic inflammatory
disease (PID) in about 10-15% of the infected population, which can subsequently
cause permanent damage to fallopian tubes, uterus, or surrounding tissues which
can result in chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.
2
NG, the causative agent of gonorrheal disease, are gram-negative, non-motile
diplococci. Although most Gonococcal infections are uncomplicated lower and upper
genital tract infections, some can also be asymptomatic. Testing is essential in these
cases as untreated NG infections in women can lead to PID, which can then cause the
onset of salpingitis, pelvic peritonitis, tuboovarian abscesses, and endometritis.
Untreated NG infections may also develop Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI),

a potentially life threating condition which is usually characterized by arthritis,
tenosynovitis and/or dermatitis.
1
TV is a protozoan parasite that causes trichomoniasis, the most common curable STI,
with approximately 2 million new cases occurring annually in the US. However, only
approximately 30% of TV infections are symptomatic.
3
Women who are symptomatic
may experience vaginal discharge, vulvovaginal soreness, dysuria and/or irritation.
Patients with trichomoniasis have an increased risk of getting and spreading other
sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. In addition, pregnant women with
trichomoniasis are at higher risk of premature labor and having low-birth-weight
babies.

Principles of the Procedure
The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test is a single-use (disposable), fully integrated,
rapid, compact device containing a PCR-based assay for direct qualitative detection
and differentiation of DNA from CT, NG, and TV. The test system includes the Visby
Medical Sexual Health device, the Visby Medical power supply, the Visby Medical
Vaginal Specimen Collection kit, and fixed-volume transfer pipettes. The device
processes a vaginal swab sample by automatically performing all steps required to
complete lysis, polymerase chain reaction, and amplicon detection.
The patient uses the Visby Medical Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit to self-collect a
vaginal specimen with the provided flocked swab, and then the patient elutes the
specimen into the Visby Medical Collection Media. The test operator transfers the
collection media containing the patient specimen into the sample port of the device
using the provided fixed-volume pipette, where it rehydrates a lyophilized internal
process control. The sample enters a lysis module, where the DNA of the sample and
the internal process control are extracted using a combination of chemical lysis and
high temperature. The extracted DNA enters a mixing chamber where it rehydrates
lyophilized PCR reagents, followed by thermocycling to amplify target DNA. If present,
the amplified pathogen target (CT, NG, and/or TV) and internal process control
hybridize to specific probes located on a flow channel. Detection of the target-specific
PCR product is accomplished via an enzyme-linked colorimetric assay using
streptavidin bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a colorimetric substrate that
forms a purple precipitate. Test results can be expected in approximately 30 minutes:
a green check mark will appear, and a purple color will appear in the “Results Valid
spot, indicating a valid test. A purple spot adjacent to “Chlamydia,” “Gonorrhea,” and/
or “Trichomoniasis” signifies the presence of amplified CT, NG, and/or TV DNA in the
sample.

Retest Procedure
If a retest is required, obtain the leftover sample from the Visby collection media tube.
If the leftover sample has been stored for ≤ 4 hours, then repeat the test with a new
Visby Medical Sexual Health device. If the leftover sample has exceeded the storage
recommendations (four hours at room temperature or under refrigeration), and/or if
the sample volume is insufficient, collect a new sample and repeat the test with a new
Visby Medical Sexual Health Test. If a retest continues to return an invalid result,
collect a new sample and repeat the test with a new Visby Medical Sexual Health Test.
If the positive or negative external controls fail, repeat the test with a new Visby
Medical Sexual Health device.
If a repeat test fails, please contact Visby Medical Customer Support at 1-833-468-
4729 (1-833-GoVisby).
Quality Control
The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test has built-in procedural controls. These include
an internal process control and built-in electronic control. The result of the process
control is displayed in the detection window while the results of the electronic controls
are displayed using the status lights.
Internal Process Control
The Visby Medical Sexual Health device contains an internal process control. The
internal process control monitors effective sample preparation, PCR amplification,
and detection. If these steps are completed successfully, then a purple spot will
develop next “Results Valid” in the detection window. If the purple spot does not
appear, the test result is Invalid, and the test must be repeated with a new Visby
Sexual Health device.
Built-in Electronic Control
The electronic controls monitor the device to ensure proper operation. If the electronic
control passes, a green check mark status light appears. If this control fails, a “Red X”
status light appears. A “Red X” error will occur if (1) the device is being operated
outside of its temperature range, (2) the power is interrupted during a run, (3) a
device error is detected, or (4) the test is not started within 2 hours of the device being
plugged in. In the event of a “Red X”, the test is invalid, and the test must be repeated
with a new Visby Sexual Health device.

External Positive and Negative Controls
Good laboratory practice suggests the use of positive and negative controls to ensure
that the test is working properly and that the test is correctly performed.
Test these controls using the same process that is used for testing a patient sample.
The external control should be run once with each new shipment of test kits and once
for each untrained operator. Further controls may be tested to conform with local,
state and/or federal regulations, accrediting groups, or your laboratory’s standard
Quality Control procedures.

Limitations
1. The performance characteristics of the Visby Medical Sexual Health Test have not
been evaluated in women less than 14 years of age.
2. This test has only been validated with female vaginal specimens self-collected in
clinical settings, using the Visby Medical Sexual Health Vaginal Specimen
Collection Kit. The performance of this test has not been evaluated with other
specimen types or other specimen collection devices.
3. Not for use with self-collected specimens in home setting.
4. Erroneous results may occur from improper specimen collection, technical error,
sample mix-up, or if the organism in the patient sample is below the limit of
detection of the Visby Medical Sexual Health Test.
5. Careful compliance with the instructions in this insert, the Quick Reference Guide
Instructions, and Visby Medical Sexual Health Vaginal Specimen Collection Kit
instruction documents are necessary to avoid erroneous results.
6. Because the detection of CT, NG, and TV are dependent on the DNA present in the
sample, reliable results are dependent on proper sample collection, handling, and
storage.
7. As with other assays of this type, there is a risk of false negative or invalid results
due to the presence of sequence variants (mutations) in the amplification
targets.
8. A negative result does not preclude a possible infection. If clinical symptoms
persist, additional testing should be performed.
14
9. The Visby Medical Health Test should not be used by patients using
antiperspirants and deodorants or the following vaginal products: douches,
washes, lubricants, vaginal swabs, vaginal moisturizers, or feminine hygiene spray
in the genital area, within 48 hours of sample collection.
10. This test has been evaluated with human specimen material only.
11. The effect of interfering substances has been evaluated only for those listed in the
interfering substances section of this document.
12. Assay interference was observed in the presence of the following substances:
RepHresh Odor Eliminating pH Balancing Gel at a concentration greater than 1.25%
w/v; Replens Long Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer at a concentration greater than
2.5% w/v; Dove 0% alcohol antiperspirant spray at concentration greater than
0.19% w/v; Menstrual blood at a concentration greater than 2.5% v/v.
13. Results from the Visby Sexual Health Test should be interpreted in conjunction with
other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician.
14. In cases where it is suspected the reporting of a positive result will have adverse
socioeconomic impact, a new sample should be collected, and tested with an
alternate assay.
15. The Visby Sexual Health Test is not intended for the evaluation of suspected
sexual abuse or for other medico-legal indications.
Equivalence between the Visby Medical Sexual Health Test and the Visby
Medical Sexual Health Click Test
The Visby Medical Sexual Health Test (Ref #: PS-001402, referenced as Visby Test
hereafter) is an updated version of original test, the Visby Medical Sexual Health Click
Test (Ref #: PS-000175, referenced as Click Test hereafter). Both tests use the same
reagents and are composed of the same materials. The housing and fluidic path of
the Visby Test was modified to improve test usability and reliability; however, the test
was developed to be functionally equivalent to the original test. Clinical performance
presented in the following section, was established based on the data from the Click
Test. For the purpose of demonstrating that the performance of the Visby Test is
equivalent to the original version of the test, clinical comparison studies were
performed. The data is shown in the “Clinical Comparison Study between Visby Test
and Click Test” section of this document.

Expected Values
The prevalence of infection with CT, NG, and/or TV in patient populations depends on
risk factors such as age, gender, the presence or absence of symptoms, the type of
clinic, and the sensitivity of the test used to detect infections. During the clinical
evaluation of the Click Test, the positivity rate for detection of CT, NG, and/or TV using
the Click Test, by clinical study site and overall, is shown in the table below. These
values also apply to the Visby Test.

Performance Characteristics
Clinical Performance
Performance characteristics of the Click Test were established in two multi-center
studies conducted at 14 clinical sites representative of CLIA waived testing facilities.
The sites were geographically distributed across the United States and included an
OB/GYN physician’s office, sexual health clinics, primary care clinics, a public health
clinic, a university student health clinic, an HIV/AIDS clinic, and STD clinics. A total of 32
untrained operators, representative of CLIA waived users, participated in the study.
The study subjects were prospectively enrolled females, 14 years of age and older,
who self-collected vaginal swab specimens using the Visby Vaginal Specimen
Collection Kit. The average age among study participants was 34 years, with a range
between 14 to 80 years of age.
The table below shows the prevalence of each pathogen at each study site based on

The collected samples were provided to participating study operators who tested
them on-site using the Click Test. The participating operators conducted the test by
following the instructions in the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). The study operators
had no formal training or experience with CLIA high or moderate complexity testing
and did not receive any training on the use of the Visby test.
Three additional vaginal swabs were collected from each female by a licensed
clinician and were sent to one central laboratory for comparator testing with three
FDA cleared nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) detecting CT, NG, and TV.
A total of 1899 subjects were initially enrolled, of which 1881 met the study inclusion
criteria. Of those, 1789 females (929 symptomatic and 860 asymptomatic) were
included in the performance evaluation. Study samples were excluded from the data
analysis due to lack of a valid Visby test result (n=28) or for protocol deviations

(n=64), (e.g., failure to follow the study protocol, improper execution of the Visby test).
Samples were also excluded from the data analysis due to lack of a valid comparator
test result (CT=15, NG=3 and TV=24). Among the 1817 tests performed on the Visby
Test, 119 had an invalid result on the first test, for an overall invalid rate of 6.55%
(119/1817), with 95% CI (5.5%-7.8%).
The Click Test results for CT and NG were compared to a composite comparator result
(CCR) comprised of results of three FDA-cleared NAATs testing clinician collected
vaginal swabs. A positive (infected) comparator result for CT and NG was determined
when at least two of the three comparator assays were positive. The performance
estimates for the Visby Test for the detection of CT and NG were calculated as positive
percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) with the composite
comparator result.
The following two tables summarize the clinical performance of the Click Test for CT
and NG when compared to the CCR.

The clinical performance of the Visby Test for detection of T. vaginalis was compared
to a patient infected status (PIS) determined by testing clinician collected vaginal
swabs with three FDA cleared NAATs for TV. The patient was considered infected if at
least two of the three comparator assays were positive for TV. The performance
estimates for the Visby Test for the detection of TV were calculated as percent
sensitivity and percent specificity when compared with the PIS.

Comparison study between Visby Test and Click Test
Three studies were conducted to evaluate the equivalence of the Visby Test with the
Click Test.
Multicenter study with Untrained Operators
This study was conducted in CLIA Waived (CW) testing environments at three study
sites. A subset of archived frozen self-collected vaginal swab patient samples that
had been previously characterized in the clinical study for the Click Test were tested.
A total of 30 CT positive (based on comparator results from the clinic study for Click
Test, and this is the same for other analytes and negative sample), 20 NG positive, 30
TV positive, and 33 negative vaginal swab specimens were selected for the study. Six
(6) untrained study operators (two operators at each site) conducted the testing.
The frozen samples were de-identified, randomized, and blinded so that the study
staff and test operators did not know the expected results. Operators thawed the
samples and tested them on-site using the Visby Test by following the instructions in
the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). The results of the Visby Test were compared to the
recorded results of the Click Test. Of the 102 samples included in the study, two (2.4%)
had an initial invalid test result. One sample was excluded from the data analysis

because it was invalid upon retesting. There were no additional exclusions. Table 9
summarize the concordance between the Click Test results and the Visby Test results.

Single Center study with trained operators
A second clinical comparison study was performed to include all frozen specimens
with sufficient volume from the original clinical study of the Click Test, with a focus on
testing samples representing a natural distribution of the pathogen loads among
individuals, especially these with low target levels. To obtain a sufficient number of
positive specimens (by comparator assays) for each analyte, these specimens were
further supplemented with archived and banked frozen self-collected samples from
two other previous Visby Medical specimen collections. These specimens were tested
in house by seven trained operators over seven days and under variable lighting
conditions. The specimens were randomized and blinded so that the test operators
did not know the expected results.
A total of 359 de-identified, frozen, self-collected vaginal swab specimens were
included in this study. Operators thawed the samples and tested them with both the
Visby Test and the Click Test if sufficient sample volume was present. Specimens
without sufficient volume to run on both devices were tested only on the Visby Test,
and the original Click Test results were used for the comparison.
Of the 359 specimens included in the study, one specimen did not have sufficient
volume to run on any test and thus was excluded from the study. Of the remaining
358 specimens tested on the Visby Test, 11 (3.1%) had an initial invalid test result. As a
final result, seven specimens were excluded from performance calculation due to
insufficient sample volume for retest or failure to obtain a valid retest result.
Therefore, a total of 351 specimens were included in the performance table. Table 10
summarizes the concordance between the Visby Test results and the Click Test
results.

Testing spiked samples at low organism concentrations
To further evaluate the performance of the Visby Test as compared to Click Test at
low levels of the target organisms, samples spiked at 1.5x LoD, 2x LoD or 3x LoD for
each target in individual negative clinical matrix were prepared and tested. Twenty
(20) CT positive, 20 NG positive, 20 TV positive and 20 negative samples were tested
on both the Visby Test and Click Test by four trained operators at a single site. Testing
was performed over two days under various lighting conditions in a randomized and
blinded fashion. All 80 contrived samples yielded valid results (0% initial invalid) and
are included in the final data analysis.

Analytical Performance
Most analytical studies described below were performed with the Click Test and are
representative and applicable to the Visby test. Two studies, including the
Comparison of Limit of Detection between the Visby Test and Click Test and the
“Reproducibility for the Visby Test” were performed on the Visby Test.
Limit of Detection
Limit of Detection (LoD) of the Click Test was determined for CT in elementary bodies
per mL (EB/mL), NG in colony forming units per mL (CFU/mL), and TV in trophozoites
per mL (troph/mL), from two distinct strains or serovars, seeded into clinical negative
vaginal sample matrix. LoD is defined as the lowest concentration per sample that
can be reproducibly distinguished from negative samples (the lowest concentration
at which 95% samples are determined to be positive).
Each organism was individually seeded into negative vaginal swab sample matrix
and tested in a range-finding study at five different concentrations in replicates of 20
per concentration. A single lot of negative sample matrix and a single lot of Click Tests
were used throughout this study.
The LoD values for each strain were estimated by probit analysis of the results from
the range-finding study. The calculated LoDs were verified by testing 20 replicates at
the estimated LoD concentration and demonstrating that at least 19 out of 20
replicates were positive.
The LoD for each organism is shown in the table below.

Comparison of Limit of Detection between the Visby Test and Click Test
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the LoD for the Visby Test is
equivalent to the Click Test. The LoD values were determined to be equivalent if the
lowest concentrations of organism with at least 19/20 detection rate from the two
devices were within 3-fold of each other. Negative pooled clinical vaginal sample in
Visby Collection Media was spiked at the LoD that was established with the Click Test
and tested with 20 Visby Tests and 20 Click Tests. If at least 19/20 devices returned a
positive test result, the organism was diluted 3-fold and the testing was repeated until
the detection rate was <19/20 for both the Click and Visby test. The results in Table 13
confirm that the LoD between the Click Test and Visby Test are comparable.

Inclusivity
The ability of the Click Test to detect 14 serovars of CT, 30 strains of NG, and 15 strains
of TV at or near the LoD was evaluated. Each organism was individually seeded into
negative clinical vaginal swab matrix at or near 2x LoD and tested in 3 replicates. If
any strain did not result in 3/3 detection, then the next lower dilution was tested until
detected in 3/3. All 14 CT serovars, 30 NG strains, and 15 TV strains were successfully
detected at the following concentrations:

Cross Reactivity and Microbial Interference
The cross reactivity of the Click Test was evaluated by testing 144 different
microorganisms in replicates of 3 in negative vaginal swab matrix. Quantified stocks
of whole microorganisms were spiked into the matrix and tested at high
concentrations (>10
6
genomic copies/mL for bacteria and >10
5
genomic copies/mL for
viruses). No cross reactivity was observed with any of the organisms tested.
Microbial Interference, when testing with the Click Test, was evaluated by testing the
same 144 microorganisms in the presence of low concentrations of the target
organisms (3X LoD for CT, NG and TV). No microbial interference was observed with
any of the organisms tested.
Additionally, three organisms could not be obtained for direct testing (Bacterial
Vaginosis Associated Bacteria 2 (BVAB-2), Megasphaera type 1, and Dientamoeba
fragilis). The sequences of these organisms were analyzed against the Click Test
primer and amplicon sequences using basic local alignment search tool (BLAST). No
match was found for any of the 3 organisms.
Note: The organisms evaluated in the two studies are listed in the table on the
following pages.

Interfering Substances
The performance of the Click Test in the presence of potentially interfering substances
that may be found in a vaginal swab sample was evaluated. The potential interfering
substances were diluted in the negative swab matrix and tested in the presence of
low concentrations (3x LoD) of CT, NG, and TV organisms. The testing was also
performed with negative clinical swab matrix samples. All samples were tested in
triplicate.
The following substances were tested and found not to interfere with the assay up to

Competitive Interference
The Click Test was evaluated for performance in the case of a mixed infection
(presence of multiple target organisms). Each of the target organisms (CT, NG, and
TV) were seeded into clinical negative vaginal sample matrix at varying
concentrations and then tested in triplicate. Low concentrations were prepared at 3x
LoD for the respective organisms and high concentrations were prepared at 1 x 10
6
units/mL. No competitive interference was observed at the levels tested for any of the
three target organisms.

Reproducibility
A reproducibility study was performed to evaluate the reproducibility of the Click Test
when used by untrained users in CLIA waived settings. The operators performing the
testing were non-laboratorians representing healthcare professionals that may be
encountered at such sites. The study evaluated four (4) panel members that were
prepared using cultured organisms in negative pooled clinical vaginal swab matrix
(previously determined to be negative for CT, NG, TV). The study was performed with
negative (unspiked) and positive samples.
A total of six (6) study operators (2 operators at each site) tested the panel three (3)
times each testing day, over six (6) non-consecutive days. Three reagent lots were
used in the study. A summary of the results (count correct / total count) and %
agreement with expected results for each analysis is presented in the table below.
The Click Test demonstrated robust reproducibility with no significant effect observed
for the components of variation evaluated (sites, days, operators, lots).

An additional study using low positive (spiked at ~1X LoD) and negative (unspiked)
samples was performed to evaluate the repeatability of test results near the assay
LoD when tested by untrained operators in a CLIA waived setting. A total of six (6)
operators (2 operators at each site) tested the panel twice a day for 5 days, for a total
of 60 data points per panel member. The composition of the panel members along
with summary of results (count correct / total count) and percent agreement with the
expected result for each panel member is presented in the table below. The study
demonstrated that untrained users can perform the test and interpret the results
accurately when testing samples with organism concentrations near the LoD.

Reproducibility for the Visby Test
A reproducibility study was conducted at three (3) study sites with CLIA Waived
settings by untrained operators. The operators performing the testing were non-
laboratorians representing healthcare professionals that may be encountered at
such sites. The study evaluated seven (7) panel members that were prepared using
cultured organisms in negative pooled clinical vaginal swab matrix (previously
determined to be negative for CT, NG, TV). The study was performed with negative
(unspiked), low positive (1X LoD), and moderate positive (3-5X LoD) samples.
A total of six (6) study operators (two operators at each site) tested the panel three
(3) times each testing day, over six (6) non-consecutive days. Three reagent lots were
used in the study. A summary of the results (count correct / total count) and %
agreement with expected results for each panel member by site and overall is
presented in the table below. The Visby Test demonstrated that untrained users can
perform testing accurately and reproducibly.
