TruSight Oncology Comprehensive is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test that uses targeted next-generation sequencing to detect variants in 517 genes using nucleic acids extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue samples from cancer patients with solid malignant neoplasms using the Illumina NextSeq 550Dx instrument. The test can be used to detect single nucleotide variants, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions, and deletions from DNA, and fusions in 24 genes and splice variants in one gene from RNA. The test also reports a Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) score.

Intended Use for the NextSeq 550Dx instrument

United States:

The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is intended for targeted sequencing of DNA libraries from human genomic DNA extracted from peripheral whole blood or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue when used with in vitro (IVD) diagnostic assays. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is not intended for whole genome or de novo sequencing. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is to be used with specific registered, certified, or approved in vitro diagnostic reagents and analytical software.

European Union:

The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is intended for sequencing of DNA libraries when used with in vitro diagnostic assays. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is to be used with specific registered, certified, or approved in vitro diagnostic reagents and analytical software.
