|---|---|
| This is a multi-center prospective, controlled, randomized, blinded clinical study to be conducted in the United States and the European Union. Clinical Sensitivity: Percent tested positive (positive test results) in a population of affected subjects with the specified agent / disease (i.e. How often the test is positive in subjects colonized with Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage). Percent clinical sensitivity will be expressed mathematically as: Number of true-positive results / (Number of true-positive + false-negative results) X 100. Clinical Specificity: Percent tested negative (negative test results) in a population of subjects without the specified agent / disease (i.e. How often the test is negative in subjects not colonized with Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization). Percent clinical specificity will be expressed mathematically as: Number of true-negative results / (Number of true-negative + false-positive results) X 100. Predictive Values: Probability that a positive result (positive predictive value, or PPV) accurately indicates the presence of a specific agent or disease or a negative result (negative predictive value, or NPV) accurately indicates the absence of a specific agent or disease. Percent positive predictive value will be expressed mathematically as: Number of true-positive results / (Number of true-positive + false-positive results) X 100. Percent negative predictive value will be expressed mathematically as: Number of true-negative results / (Number of true-negative + false-negative results) X 100. | — |
