National survey indicated 80.2% adolescents and young adults prefer home STI test kits mailed. simpli-COLLECT Swab and Urine Collection Kits are FDA cleared kits, enabling individuals to collect samples comfortably at home. These kits promote self-care, extend accessibility, and make high-quality STI testing more convenient and reachable. The collected samples are tested using the only FDA cleared 4-in-1 Alinity m STI assay.

Intended use
|
SIMPLI-COLLECT STI TEST |
|
The simpli-COLLECT STI Test is a test system intended for in vitro detection and identification of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) in home-collected specimens. The specimens are shipped to a clinical laboratory for testing using the Alinity m STI Assay with the automated Alinity m System for the direct, qualitative detection and differentiation of ribosomal RNA from CT, DNA from NG, ribosomal RNA from TV, and ribosomal RNA from MG, to aid in the diagnosis of disease(s) caused by infection from these organisms. The assay may be used to test the following self-collected specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals for the following analytes: CT: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine NG: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine TV: vaginal swabs, female urine, and male urine MG: vaginal swabs and male urine The simpli-COLLECT STI Test contains all the necessary components for the self-collection and transport of urine from male and female patients (simpli-COLLECT Urine Collection Kit) or vaginal swabs from female patients (simpli-COLLECT Swab Collection Kit) in their home, or in similar environments. The simpli-COLLECT Collection Kits may also be used to self-collect specimens in a clinic. |
limitations of the procedure

SIMPLI-COLLECT STI TEST |
|
• Optimal performance of this kit requires appropriate specimen collection, handling, preparation, and storage. Refer to the SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS section of the package insert for additional information. • The simpli-COLLECT Urine Collection Kit should only be used to collect urine samples. The simpli-COLLECT Swab Collection Kit should only be used to collect vaginal swab samples. Refer to the SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS for additional information. • Vaginal swab sampling is not designed to replace cervical exams for diagnosis of female urogenital infections. Patients may have cervicitis, urethritis, urinary tract infections, or vaginal infections due to other causes or concurrent infections with other agents. • Vaginal swab samples are the preferred sample type for sexually transmitted infection testing in women. A urine sample is acceptable for women but may detect fewer infections when compared to vaginal swab samples. • Assay interference may be observed in the presence of gel-based hand sanitizers at concentrations greater than 0.1% in simpli-COLLECT urine specimens and simpli-COLLECT vaginal swab specimens. Assay interference may also be observed in the presence of Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Deep Restore Lotion at concentrations greater than 0.5% in simpli-COLLECT urine specimens. Refer to the Alinity m STI AMP Kit package insert for assay limitations. |
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
|
LABORATORY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: |
|
• Follow all instructions in the simpli-COLLECT™ STI Test package insert. • Warnings and precautions for the Alinity m STI Assay are provided in the Alinity m STI AMP Kit package insert. |
|
PATIENT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: |
|
• Follow all instructions in the Instructions for Use. If you do not follow the instructions, your result could be incorrect. • Keep out of reach of children under 14 years old. • Pregnant women should not use the simpli-COLLECT Swab Collection Kit without first discussing with their healthcare provider. • Women who have symptoms suggesting pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) should not use the self-collected vaginal swab specimen as a replacement for a pelvic exam. • A negative test result does not preclude the possibility of infection with other pathogens. • The test system is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider. The information provided by the product should not be used to start, stop, or change any course of treatment unless advised by your healthcare provider. • Anyone with recent sexual contact with a person known to have a sexually transmitted infection should visit a healthcare provider for treatment and evaluation as soon as possible (refer to the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/std/). • Contact a healthcare provider prior to collecting the sample if the user has a condition that makes it difficult to use the test (eg, problems with vision, handling the test components, or understanding test instructions or results). |
