Multi-Centre, Prospective, Evaluation for Matrix equivalence of capillary whole blood finger-stick and fresh and frozen venous whole blood with the NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus Rapid Test Device and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test Device for the Detection of Plasmodium Infections in Patients with Symptoms Suggestive of Malaria within the Lab and its intended use environment for CE IVDR.
REFNo: HS1587ES
This trial is part of the R&D Verification and Validation studies, to provide clinical matrix equivalence evaluation to support the conformity assessment procedure for the use of fingerstick and venous whole blood samples with Abbott’s NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test Devices, as performed by professional users, in accordance with WHO PQ TSS-3, WHO PQ Dossier, EU 2017/7461.
Primary Objective: Matrix Equivalence
To assess the matrix equivalence of:
a. Fresh CWBFS and Fresh VWB
b. Frozen VWB and Fresh VWB
when used with the NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus by laboratory professionals (from hereon referred to as Lab operators) in a laboratory environment to support CE IVDR certification.
The test results of the NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test using a VWB sample, will be evaluated against the NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test using CWBFS sample from the same participant. In summary: Fresh CWBFS vs. Fresh VWB*. Likewise, the test results of the NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test using VWB samples that have been exposed to 1x Freeze/Thaw cycle will be evaluated against the NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test using fresh VWB samples from the same participant. In summary: Frozen VWB vs. Fresh VWB*
*indicates: Where Fresh VWB will be the comparator sample type.
The data obtained will be used in the application for CE IVDR certification and WHO PQ. Paired CWBFS and VWB samples will be taken from the same individuals for testing on both NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus RDTs.
Secondary Objective: Intended Users within the Intended Use Environment
Malaria RDTs are used outside of the laboratory for near patient testing (NPT)* by non laboratory healthcare workers with limited training. Thus the secondary objective of this study is to assess the perfromance of the NxTek™ Malaria Pf/Pv Plus and NxTek™ Malaria Pf Plus results when used in its intended environment (NPT setting) by intended users (non laboratory healthcare workers with limited training) using CWBFS as the sample type.*see NPT definition Section 4.2-4.3 of protocol (or below sections on trial operator types and trial envitronment types).
