System, Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, Dna, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, Direct Specimen
The MRSA Direct Specimen Nucleic Acid Amplification Test System is a diagnostic device that uses nucleic acid amplification, including probes and reagents, to identify methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization status directly from patient specimens. It is used as an aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections within healthcare settings. The device falls under FDA Class 2, meaning it requires 510(k) premarket notification to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The product code is NQX, regulated under 21 CFR 866.1640, and falls within the Microbiology medical specialty. It is not an implant and does not provide life-sustaining support.
