The Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS) Tularemia 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 Francisella tularensis. The system 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 tularemia. In addition, positive blood cultures and colonies may be tested. This assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of individual presenting with signs and symptoms of pneumonic or typhoidal tularemia. It is not intended to aid in the diagnosis of glandular, ulceroglandular, oculoglandular, or oropharyngeal tularemia.

The JBAIDS Tularemia Detection Kit is run on the JBAIDS instrument using the Diagnostic Wizard. Results are for the presumptive identification of F. tularensis in conjunction with culture and other laboratory tests. The definitive identification of F. tularensis from colony growth, liquid blood culture growth, blood specimens, 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 tularemia must be made based on history, signs, symptoms, exposure likelihood, and other laboratory evidence in addition to the identification of the target either from colonies, blood culture, whole blood or sputum specimens.

The JBAIDS Tularemia Detection Kit is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory personnel who have received specific training on the use of the JBAIDS Tularemia Detection Kit. The level of F. tularensis that would be present in blood or sputum from individuals with early systemic or pneumonic infection is unknown. Due to the difficulty in obtaining clinical specimens, this assay was not evaluated with blood or sputum from individuals presenting with signs and symptoms of tularemia who have subsequently developed pneumonic or typhoidal tularemia pneumonic or typhoidal tularemia.
