About this study
Official title: A Multicenter Performance Evaluation for the Ultra Influenza A&B Test Using Nasal Swabs
The clinical performance of the Ultra Influenza A\&B Test will be demonstrated during a clinical trial in which prospectively collected nasal swabs are used in identifying subjects who are infected with the influenza virus strain type A or type B. The Ultra Influenza A\&B Test qualitative results will be compared to "Gold Standard" viral culture with Direct Fluorescent Antibody (DFA) confirmation techniques using nasal swabs collected from symptomatic subjects. The Ultra Influenza A\&B Test will be performed at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waived sites by untrained intended users (e.g. nurses, physician assistants, medical assistants, etc.). For viral culture testing with DFA confirmation testing, nasal swab specimen testing will be performed by a designated reference laboratory.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Identify subjects who are infected with the virus strain type A or type B
Characterize the performance of the Ultra Influenza A\&B Test and to identify subjects who are infected with the influenza virus strain type A or type B. Performance data generated will support a 510k submission to FDA for clearance of the assay.
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Demonstrate the ability of untrained intended users to effectively run and read the Ultra Influenza A&B Test with insignificant risk of erroneous results.
Demonstrate the ability of untrained intended users to effectively run and read the Ultra Influenza A\&B Test with insignificant risk of erroneous results. Qualitative results obtained using the Ultra Influenza A\&B Test will be compared to viral culture with direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) confirmation testing on specimens collected during this study. Data demonstrating ease of use will support a request to FDA for CLIA waived categorization of the assay.
Measured: 6 months
