Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and/or influenza B RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.Negative results do not preclude infection from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and/or influenza B and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B v2 is intended for use by qualified clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and on the use of the cobas® 5800/6800/8800 Systems. en cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B v2 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 System or cobas® 6800/8800 Systems software, which assigns results for all tests. Results can be reviewed directly on the system screen, and printed as a report.Nucleic acid from patient samples and added internal control RNA (RNA IC) molecules are simultaneously extracted. Nucleic acid is released 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 steps and purified nucleic acid is eluted from the magnetic glass particles with elution buffer at elevated temperature. External controls (positive and negative) are processed in the same way.Selective amplification of SARS-CoV-2 target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of target-specific forward and reverse primers for ORF1a/b non-structural region that is unique to SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, a conserved region in the structural protein envelope E-gene was chosen for pan-Sarbecovirus detection. The pan- Sarbecovirus detection set will also detect SARS-CoV-2 virus. For influenza A, selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of two target-specific sets of forward and reverse primers: one for the genomic region ecoding matrix proteins 1 and 2 (M1/M2) and one for the gene encoding polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2). For influenza B, selective amplification of target nucleic acid from the sample is achieved by the use of target-specific forward and reverse primers for the nuclear export protein (NEP) / nonstructural protein 1(NS1) genomic region. Selective amplification of RNA Internal Control is achieved by the use of non-competitive sequence specific forward and reverse primers which have no homology with the coronavirus or influenza genomes. Amplified target is detected by cleavage of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probe. A thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme is used for amplification.The cobas® SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B v2 master mix contains detection probes which are specific for the coronavirus type SARS-CoV-2, members of the Sarbecovirus subgenus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus and the RNA Internal Control nucleic acid. The coronavirus, influenza A, influenza B and RNA Internal Control detection probes are each labeled with unique fluorescent dyes that act as a reporter. Each probe also has a second dye which acts as a quencher. When not bound to the target sequence, the fluorescent signals of the intact probes are suppressed by the 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' exonuclease 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. Each reporter dye is measured at defined wavelengths, which enables simultaneous detection and discrimination of the amplified coronavirus targets, influenza targets and the RNA Internal Control. The master mix includes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), instead of deoxythimidine triphosphate (dTTP), which is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA (amplicon). Any contaminating amplicons from previous PCR runs are destroyed by the AmpErase enzyme [uracil-N-glycosylase], which is included in the PCR mix, when heated in the first therma l cycling step. However, newly formed amplicons are not destroyed since the AmpErase enzyme is inactivated once exposed to temperatures above 55°C. en
