Read the full statement (275 words)

The Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is an automated, rapid multianalyte real-time PCR test for the simultaneous qualitative detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, and varicella-zoster virus DNA isolated from human cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesion samples obtained from symptomatic patients suspected of active herpes simplex virus 1, herpes simplex virus 2 and/or varicella-zoster infection. This in vitro diagnostic test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of patients with signs or symptoms of herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, and varicella-zoster virus infection.

The Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of herpes simplex virus 1, herpes simplex virus 2 and varicella-zoster virus active infections. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other management decisions and must be combined with clinical observations, patient history and/or epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, or varicella-zoster virus infection that is not detected by a cutaneous or mucocutaneous lesion swab specimen. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other organisms. Additional laboratory testing (e.g., viral culture, immunoassay, serology) may be necessary for patient evaluation. Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is for professional use. The Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is intended for use only with the Savanna instrument.

Warning: The Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is not intended for use with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or to aid in the diagnosis of HSV or VZV infections of the central nervous system (CNS). The Savanna HSV 1+2/VZV Assay is not intended for use in prenatal screening.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
