1 WHO Prequalification of In Vitro Diagnostics PUBLIC REPORT Product: Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect WHO reference number: PQDx Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect with product codes , and , manufactured by Alere Technologies GmbH, CE marked regulatory version, was accepted for the WHO list of prequalified in vitro diagnostics and was listed on 13 June The public report was amended on 2 September 2016, to reflect fulfillment of an outstanding commitment to WHO prequalification. Intended use: Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect is a qualitative nucleic acid amplification test for the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 groups M/N and O, and type 2 in human whole blood and plasma specimens. The test can be used in laboratory as well as nonlaboratory environments by trained health care or laboratory professionals or other health care workers receiving appropriate training. It can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV infection in paediatric and adult individuals, or as an additional test when specimens have already been tested using alternative methods. Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect is not intended to be used as a donor screening test for HIV. In order to perform an Alere TM q HIV-1/2 Detect test the Alere TM q instrument is required. Alere q is a portable automated bench-top analyser for processing Alere q test cartridges. Assay description: Sample Handling and Processing Peripheral blood may be collected from the patient either through standard finger or heel prick sampling techniques or venous blood draw. The sample volume required to run a test is 25 μl. Finger or heel prick blood can be applied directly and immediately onto the Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect cartridge. When using EDTA anti-coagulated venous blood or plasma, the appropriate volume is transferred into the cartridge using a volumetric pipette or transfer capillary. Standard phlebotomy sample collection practices for obtaining both capillary and venous blood samples are to be followed. After applying the sample, the cartridge cap is snapped into place, eliminating the chance of sample spillage or contamination of the instrument. After closing the cap the cartridge is inserted into the Alere q and the test is initiated automatically. The steps described in the following subsections are performed automatically by the Alere q within the cartridge. RNA Isolation Page 1 of 57
2 The RNA isolation consists of following steps: a) Complete lysis of the sample based on chaotropic salts in order to release all nucleic acids including cell-associated HIV RNA and HIV RNA from plasma based particles. b) Hybridization of oligonucleotides complementary to specific sequences of the HIV- 1 and HIV-2 genome. These sequence specific capture oligonucleotides carry a 3 - terminal biotin-residue. c) All biotinylated capture oligonucleotides are captured onto the surface of Streptavidin-Sepharose particles, thus any HIV RNA bound to a captured oligonucleotide is captured on the Sepharose too. d) Washing of the Streptavidin-Sepharose particles to remove all contaminants that bind non-specifically to the particles, i.e. human nucleic acids, cellular and extracellular proteins, cell membrane fragments and low molecular weight molecules. After the washing steps, the remaining HIV RNA molecules are ready for reverse transcription (RT) followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Reverse Transcription and Amplification RNA which is captured onto the surface of the Streptavidin-Sepharose particles cannot be detected directly. Therefore an amplification of HIV-specific nucleic acid sequences has to be performed. This is realized by PCR which allows an in vitro amplification of DNA sequences. Since most DNA polymerases do not synthesize DNA directly from RNA a reverse transcription of RNA into cdna is necessary. Reverse transcription is an isothermal reaction which is performed at a defined temperature. The same reverse primers as for the subsequent PCR amplification are used for RT. The DNA primers hybridize with their complementary sequence onto the RNA and form a DNA-RNA hybrid. The reverse transcriptase then transcribes the RNA into its complementary cdna by extending the oligonucleotide primer. The reverse transcription is followed by a denaturation step at a defined temperature in order to deactivate the reverse transcriptase activate the DNA polymerase and separate the RNA-DNA hybrid to make the newly formed cdna accessible for primer oligonucleotide binding and cyclic primer extension by PCR. Primers are short specific oligonucleotides that hybridize readily to their complementary sequences at the appropriate annealing temperature (annealing) and form the starting point for extension by a heat stable DNA polymerase. Primer annealing and the amplification of the DNA (elongation) by DNA polymerase are carried out at defined temperatures. The three steps (denaturation, annealing and elongation) describe one PCR cycle and are repeated 45 times. To facilitate simultaneous detection of more than one specific nucleic acid sequence a multiplex PCR is performed. Target amplification between HIV-1 group M/N and group O, and HIV-2 is facilitated by specific primer pairs. In addition the primer pairs allow for the amplification of internal process controls. Detection Page 2 of 57
3 Detection of PCR product is based on Competitive Reporter Monitored Amplification technology utilizing an array of immobilized oligonucleotide probes and complementary fluorescently labelled reporter oligonucleotides in solution. In order to maximize initial signal intensity, reporters used in this reaction have fluorescence labels at the 5 and the 3 ends. Under suitable conditions the reporter will specifically hybridize to the immobilized probes. The reporter oligonucleotides are also complementary to a specific sequence of a target amplicon that is generated during PCR that compete with the immobilized probes for binding of the reporter oligonucleotides. At the onset of the amplification reaction, none or a few target molecules are present and thus the reporter is free to bind to its complementary probe on the array. In the presence of target template more target amplicons with a reporter specific binding site are synthesized as the amplification reaction proceeds. As amplicons accumulate the hybridization kinetics become more dependent on the amplicon concentration. The more amplicons are synthesized the more reporter binds to them. In addition, the solid support to which the oligonucleotide probe is attached introduces a diffusion barrier which significantly reduces the hybridization rate. Thus, generally, solution phase reactions are kinetically favoured to solid phase reactions. Therefore the amount of reporter hybridized to the complementary probe decreases proportionally to the formation of new amplicons. This decrease is observed until a plateau in the amplification reaction is reached. Measuring the change in signal intensity of each probe can be achieved by imaging the fluorescence pattern on the array during the amplification process. Fluorescence images are collected during the annealing phase of each amplification cycle. After acquiring the hybridization pattern an algorithm is applied that is able to identify and eliminate different noise signals from the data obtained by the array assisted real-time PCR. The algorithm then calculates the cycle threshold values from the resulting amplification kinetics determining the presence of the analyte.

The manufacturer's responses to the nonconformities found at the time of the inspection were accepted on 2 May Based on the site inspection and corrective action plan review, the quality management system for Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect meets WHO prequalification requirements. Laboratory evaluation Alere q HIV-1/2 Detect assay is a qualitative nucleic acid amplification test for the detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) type 1 groups M/N and O and type 2 in human whole blood and plasma. This evaluation was performed on venous whole blood. A volume of 25µl of whole blood/specimen is needed to perform the assay. This type of assay does require laboratory equipment and can be performed in laboratories with limited facilities. Analytical specimens: The assay detected the following subtypes: A, B, C, D, F, AE, AG in whole blood. The total hit rate for 21 replicates in the precision study was 100%. The limit of detection was estimated to be 2937 IU/ml [95% Fiducial limits: ]; copies/ml [95% Fiducial Limits ]. No carry-over was detected. Clinical specimens: The reproducibility assessment showed a hit rate of 100%, while the reproducibility hit rate was determined to be 100%. In this limited performance evaluation, on a panel of 301 infant whole blood specimens we found, in specimens from infants aged less than 18 months, an initial sensitivity of 98.67% (95% CI: ) and an initial specificity of % (95% CI: ) compared to the reference results for all specimens tested. In specimens from individuals older than 15 years of age, we found an initial sensitivity of 90.00% (95% CI: ) and an initial specificity of % (95% CI: ). The final sensitivity and specificity for infant whole blood specimens were 99.33% (95% CI: ) and % (95% CI: ) respectively. In specimens from individuals older than 15 years of age, we found a final sensitivity of 94.00% (95% CI: ) and a final specificity of % (95% CI: ). In this study, the invalid rate was 5.58%.
