Package Contents
15 Vivalytic SARS-CoV-2 test cartridges for the detection of SARS-CoV-2
specific E gene sequence.
Safety Information
These instructions for use contain test-specific information only. For additional
warnings and instructions, refer to the instructions for use provided with
your Vivalytic analyser (chapter device safety information). Only use Vivalytic
cartridges and accessories approved for the analyser. Make sure to insert
samples properly. Remove spilled samples with a cloth soaked with the
appropriate solution. You can use 70 % ethanol. If you need to disinfect the
cartridge by spraying (for example after heavy spillage of sample), do not use
the cartridge afterwards since it might be damaged by disinfectant.
WARNING
• Do not use a cartridge if the sealed pouch or the cartridge itself is visibly
damaged.
• Do not touch or scratch the detection area of the cartridge.
• Do not reuse a cartridge.
• Do not use expired cartridges. The expiration date can be found on the
packaging and the cartridge label.
• Do not wait longer than 15 minutes after opening the cartridge pouch to
begin the test. This maintains hygiene and avoids performance loss due
to humidity. Prolonged exposure to humidity has a negative impact on
test performance.
• Do not use sample types, media and volumes that are not applicable for
the test.
• Do not shake a cartridge that contains a sample.
• Do not turn the cartridge upside down.
• Handle potentially infectious samples according to laboratory standards
and dispose samples according to regional and laboratory standards.
Make sure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Place the cartridge on a clean surface.
• Be compliant with the national safety regulations and practices.

Intended Use
The Bosch Vivalytic SARS-CoV-2 test is a qualitative PCR-based assay for the
detection of SARS-CoV-2 from human nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal
swabs to aid in the diagnosis of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Intended for use with
a Vivalytic analyser by healthcare professionals.
Test Principle
Vivalytic SARS-CoV-2 is a real-time based PCR test utilizing reverse
transcription (RT).
Storage und Usage Conditions
Storage and usage conditions can be taken either from the cartridge, pouch
or box label.
Reagents
All reagents necessary for the sample processing are integrated into the
cartridge. The processing includes cell lysis, nucleic acid extraction, reverse
transcription, DNA amplification and detection.
Reagents are bead, binding buffer, washing buffer and elution buffer.
Sample Type/Medium
The test is intended for use with nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab
samples in eNAT™ medium (COPAN Italia S.P.A.). Collect and store samples as
indicated in the manufacturer's data sheet.
Sample Preparation
Shake the sample tube containing the swab sample and the liquid medium for
homogenization and fill 300 μl of homogenized patient sample in the sample
input of the cartridge. Do not use viscous samples that are difficult to pipette.
