The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Plague Detection Kit is a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kit intended for the qualitative in vitro diagnostic (IVD) detection of target DNA sequences of Yersinia pestis. The kit can be used to test human whole blood collected in sodium citrate or sputum collected aseptically from individuals greater than 18 years of age suspected of having septic or pneumonic plague. In addition, positive blood cultures and colonies may be tested. The JBAIDS Plague Target 2 assay is used as a supplementary test only after a positive result with the Target 1 Assay.

The JBAIDS Plague Target 1 and Target 2 assays are run on the JBAIDS instrument using the Diagnostic Wizard. Results are for the presumptive identification of Y. pestis in conjunction with culture and other laboratory tests. The definitive identification of Y. pestis from colony growth, liquid blood culture growth, or from blood or sputum specimens requires additional testing and confirmation procedures in consultation with public health or other authorities for whom reports are required.

The diagnosis of plague must be made based on history, signs, symptoms, exposure likelihood, and other laboratory evidence in addition to the identification of Y. pestis from cultures or directly from whole blood or sputum specimens.

The JBAIDS Plague Detection Kit is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory personnel who have received specific training on the use of the JBAIDS Plague Detection Kit. The level of Y. pestis that would be present in blood or sputum from individuals with early systemic infection is unknown. Due to the difficulty in obtaining clinical specimens, these assays were not evaluated with blood or sputum from individuals with septic or pneumonic plague.
