Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

GenePOC testing

Reference Method

Arm Description

The swab will be used for the testing on the revogene using the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay. Intervention will be the Comparison between GenePOC CR and Reference Method.

The swab will be used to detect the presence or absence of Strep A, C/G using standard microbiology method. Intervention will be the Comparison between GenePOC CR and Reference Method.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Performance characteristics of the GenePOC Streap A, C/G assay
To establish the performance characteristics of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay for its use in determining the presence of Strep A, C/G in throat swab samples obtained from patients with signs and symptoms of pharyngitis infection. Sensitivity will be estimated as the proportion of positives that are correctly identified by the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay when compared to the Reference Method. Specificity will be established as the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified by the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay when compared to the Reference Method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Positive and Negative Predictive Values (PPV and NPV)
To establish the Positive and Negative Predictive Values (PPV and NPV) of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay. PPV will be calculated as the proportion of positive results with the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay that are true positive results when compared to the Reference Method. NPV will be calculated as the proportion of negative results with the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay that are true negative results when compared to the Reference Method.
Unresolved sample results
To establish the rate of unresolved results for the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay due to sample processing control failure (unresolved sample results).
Indeterminate sample results
To establish the rate of indeterminate results for the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay due to an instrument failure (indeterminate results).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to establish the performance of the GenePOC Strep A, C/G assay on the revogene. This will be achieved by comparing the test to a conventional method for detection of Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAS) and pyogenic Group C and G β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GCS/GGS) in throat swab samples.
Detailed Description
The GenePOC Strep A, C/G 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. A dual swab sample is collected when ICF is signed by patient. One of the swab will be tested on the revogene™, and the second swab will be tested with standard microbiology method at a Reference Center.
