What Is It?
A non-SARS coronavirus multiplex nucleic acid assay is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic test for the simultaneous qualitative detection and discrimination of coronavirus 229E, coronavirus NL63, coronavirus HKU1 and Coronavirus OC43 nucleic acids isolated and purified from human respiratory specimens obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infections or viral culture. The detection and discrimination of human non-SARS coronavirus nucleic acids from symptomatic patients aid in the diagnosis of human respiratory tract non-SARS coronavirus infections if used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.
How Is OTG Classified?
Non-Sars Coronavirus Multiplex Nucleic Acid Assay is FDA product code OTG, Class 2, 21 CFR 866.3980.
What Does It Take to Sell It in the United States?
A 510(k) premarket notification is required before it is sold in the United States: the applicant shows the device is substantially equivalent to one already on the market. No clearance under this code names a Chinese applicant. A registration is not a clearance: the plants above are set up to make it, and the 510(k) it is sold under is held by whoever files it, often the brand.
