For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
Printer friendly format
Description

The ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System is intended for use in detecting HIV genomic mutations that confer resistance to specific types of antiretroviral drugs, as an aid in monitoring and treating HIV infection. Specifically, the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System can be used to:
- Detect HIV-1 Subtype B viral resistance in plasma samples collected in EDTA with a viral load ranging from 2000 to 750,000 copies/mL
- Genotype the entire HIV-1 protease gene from codons 1-99 and two-thirds of the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene from codons 1-335
- The user (operator or technologist) must be trained in its use.
- Interpretation and application of the results should be done by a qualified physician.
Indication for Use
The indications for use encompass the following populations:
- HIV-1 infected individuals at drug therapy failure (with increased viral load) before therapy switch
- HIV-1 infected individuals at initial presentation, before initial drug therapy
High Throughput Processing with Automated Sequencing
- Integrated systems including sample preparation, RT-PCR, cycle sequencing module, and positive controls
- Autoloading of samples provides walk away processing
Targeted Therapy, Now a Reality
- Software converts continuous sequenced data for entire protease and 1 - 335 codons in reverse transcriptase to patient report
- Comprehensive drug resistance interpretation algorithm.
- Software provides interpretive resistance report to aid in treatment decisions
In - Depth Understanding for Targeted Treatment Decisions
- Integrated system from sample prep to final report
- Unattended hands-free capillary electrophoresis
- Powerful analysis software provides comprehensive drug resistance reports to assist with treatment decisions
Design

Most Complete Genomic Coverage
Seven sequencing reactions with forward and reverse orientations achieve full codon coverage. Redundant sequencing primers provide multiple genomic coverage.

Limitations
Genotyping System can be used to:
- Detect HIV-1 Subtype B viral resistance in plasma samples collected in EDTA with a viral load ranging from 2000 to 750,000 copies/mL
- Genotype the entire HIV-1 protease gene from codons 1 to 99 and two-thirds of the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene from codons 1 to 335
In order to use the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System:
- The user (operator or technologist) must be trained in its use.
- Interpretation and application of the results should be done by a qualified physician.
The indications for use encompass the following populations:
- HIV-1 infected individuals at drug therapy failure (with increased viral load) before therapy switch
- HIV-1 infected individuals at initial presentation, before initial drug therapy
Limitations
- Blood collected using Heparin tubes is unsuitable for use with PCR and this assay.
- Testing for antiretroviral drug resistance has only been validated on patient samples with viral loads between 2000 and 750,000 copies per mL. In a typical HIV positive patient population in the U.S. that is on HIV highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), about 25% of the patients can be expected to have suppressed viral loads. These samples may not always generate interpretable results with the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System if the viral load is below 1000 copies/mL. Users should test samples with a viral load of 2000 copies/mL or greater.
