The BD MAX™ CT/GC/TV assay, as performed using the BD MAX System, incorporates automated DNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the direct, qualitative detection of DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and/or Trichomonas vaginalis (TV)
The assay may be used for setection of CT and/or GC DNA in male urine specimens, the detection of CT, GC and /or TV DNA in female urine specimens, clinician-collected female endocervical swab specimens and patient- collected vaginal swab specimens (in a clinical setting)
The assay is indicated for use to aid in the diagnosis of chlamydial urogenital disease, gonococcal urogenital disease and/or trichomoniasis in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals.
