Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to establish the performance of the GenePOC Carba assay on the revogene. This will be achieved by comparing the test to a conventional method for detection of Carbapenemase Producing Organisms (CPOs) in rectal swab samples.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The GenePOC Carba assay will be performed using the revogene instrument. The revogene instrument, used in conjunction with appropriate reagents, is capable of automated cell lysis, dilution of nucleic acids from multiple sample types as well as automated amplification and detection of target nucleic acid sequences.

The GenePOC Carba assay reagents kits consist of:

1. Sample Buffer Tube (SBT)
2. Disposable Transfer Tool (DTT)
3. Disposable microfluidic cartridges (PIE)

The test is performed using the revogeneā„¢. The revogene automates sample homogenization, sample dilution, cells lysis, DNA amplification, and detection of the amplified PCR products. User intervention is only required for discharging the patient sample into the Sample Buffer Tube (SBT), transferring the sample into the PIE, and loading/unloading the PIEs into the revogene carousel.

A dual swab sample is collected when ICF is signed by patient. One of the swab is transferred into the SBT and vortexed. Sample is then transferred to the GenePOC Carba PIE. The PIE is then automatically processed by the revogene. On completion of a run, the user removes the processed PIEs from the instrument and discards them according to local biological waste management procedures.

One revogene will be allocated per site. The purpose of this clinical trial is to enroll sufficient patients from up to 14 Clinical Centers to meet regulatory requirements, based on the Reference Method final results.
