What is it indicated for?
The APTIMA Assay for Chlamydia trachomatis is a target amplification nucleix acid probe test that utilizes target capture for the in vitro qualitative detection of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in clinician-collected endocervical, vaginal and male urethral swab specimens, patient-collected vaginal swab specimens, and female and male urine specimens. The assay may be used to test specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic…

The APTIMA Assay for Chlamydia trachomatis is a target amplification nucleix acid probe test that utilizes target capture for the in vitro qualitative detection of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in clinician-collected endocervical, vaginal and male urethral swab specimens, patient-collected vaginal swab specimens, and female and male urine specimens. The assay may be used to test specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals to aid in the diagnosis of chlamydial urogenital disease using the TIGRIS DTS Automated Analyzer or semi-automated instrumentation as specified.
Patient-collected vaginal swab specimens are an option for screening women when a pelvic exam is not otherwise indicated. The vaginal swab specimen collection kit is not for home use.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA 510(k) statement.
