Specimens containing HCV genotypes 1 to 6 are validated for detection and quantitation in the assay.cobas® HCV is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of HCV infection in the following populations: individuals with antibody evidence of HCV with evidence of liver disease, individuals suspected to be actively infected with HCV antibody evidence, and individuals at risk for HCV infection with antibodies to HCV. Detection of HCV RNA indicates that the virus is replicating and therefore is evidence of active infection.cobas® HCV is intended for use as an aid in the management of HCV-infected patients undergoing anti-viral therapy. The assay can be used to measure HCV RNA levels at baseline, during treatment, at the end of treatment, and at the end of follow up of treatment to determine sustained or non-sustained viral response. The results must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings.cobas® HCV has not been approved for use as a screening test for the presence of HCV in blood or blood products.Assay performance characteristics have been established for individuals treated with certain direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) regimens.

The test can be used to predict the probability of sustained virologic response (SVR) early during a course of antiviral therapy, and to assess viral response to antiviral treatment (response guided therapy) as measured by changes of HCV RNA levels in serum or EDTA plasma.

No information is available on the assay’s predictive value when other DAA combination therapies are used. en cobas® HCV is based on fully automated sample preparation (nucleic acid extraction and purification) followed by PCR amplification and detection. The cobas® 5800 system is designed as one integrated instrument. The cobas® 6800/8800 systems consist of the sample supply module, the transfer module, the processing module, and the analytic module. Automated data management is performed by the cobas® 5800 or cobas® 6800/8800 systems software(s) which assigns test results for all tests as target not detected, < LLoQ (lower limit of quantitation), > ULoQ (upper limit of quantitation) or HCV RNA detected, a value in the linear range LLoQ ≤ x ≤ ULoQ. Results can be reviewed directly on the system screen, exported, or printed as a report. Nucleic acid from patient samples, external controls and added armored RNA-QS molecules are simultaneously extracted by addition of proteinase and lysis reagent to the sample. The released nucleic acid binds to the silica surface of the added magnetic glass particles. Unbound substances and impurities, such as denatured protein, cellular debris and potential PCR inhibitors are removed with subsequent wash buffer steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted from the magnetic glass particles with elution buffer at elevated temperature. Selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the patient sample is achieved by the use of target virus-specific forward and reverse primers which are selected from highly conserved regions of HCV. Selective amplification of RNA-QS is achieved by the use of sequence-specific forward and reverse primers which are selected to have no homology with the HCV genome. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for both reverse-transcription and PCR amplification. The target and RNA-QS sequences are amplified simultaneously utilizing a universal PCR amplification profile with predefined temperature steps and number of cycles. The master mix includes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), instead of deoxythimidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA (amplicon).14-16 Any contaminating amplicon from previous PCR runs are eliminated by the AmpErase enzyme, which is included in the PCR mix, during the first thermal cycling step. However, newly formed amplicon are not eliminated since the AmpErase enzyme is inactivated once exposed to temperatures above 55°C. The cobas® HCV master mix contains dual detection probes specific for the HCV target sequences and one for the RNA- QS. The probes are labeled with target-specific fluorescent reporter dyes allowing simultaneous detection of HCV target and RNA-QS in two different target channels.10,17 When not bound to the target sequence, the fluorescent signal of the intact probe is suppressed by a quencher dye. During the PCR amplification step, hybridization of the probes to the specific single-stranded DNA template results in cleavage of the probe by the 5'-to-3' nuclease activity of the DNA polymerase resulting in separation of the reporter and quencher dyes and the generation of a fluorescent signal. With each PCR cycle, increasing amounts of cleaved probes are generated and the cumulative signal of the reporter dye increases concomitantly. Real-time detection and discrimination of PCR products is accomplished by measuring the fluorescence of the released reporter dyes for the viral targets and RNA-QS. 10.
