The simpli-COLLECT STI Test is a test system intended for in vitro detection and identification of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) in home-collected specimens. The specimens are shipped to a clinical laboratory for testing using the Alinity m STI Assay with the automated Alinity m System for the direct, qualitative detection and differentiation of ribosomal RNA from CT, DNA from NG, ribosomal RNA from TV, and ribosomal RNA from MG, to aid in the diagnosis of disease(s) caused by infection from these organisms. The assay may be used to test the following self-collected specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals for the following analytes:
CT: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine
NG: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine
TV: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine
MG: vaginal swabs and male urine
The simpli-COLLECT STI Test contains all the necessary components for the self-collection and transport of urine from male and female patients (simpli-COLLECT Urine Collection Kit) or vaginal swabs from female patients (simpli-COLLECT Swab Collection Kit) in their home, or in similar environments. The simpli-COLLECT Collection Kits may also be used to self-collect specimens in a clinic.
