Sec. 866.3065  Bordetella spp. serological reagents.

    (a) Identification. Bordetella spp. serological reagents are devices 
that consist of antigens and antisera, including antisera conjugated 
with a fluorescent dye, used in serological tests to identify Bordetella 
spp. from cultured isolates or directly from clinical specimens. The 
identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria 
belonging to the genus Bordetella and provides epidemiological 
information on these diseases. Bordetella spp. cause whooping cough 
(Bordetella pertussis) and other similiarly contagious and acute 
respiratory infections characterized by pneumonitis (inflammation of the 
lungs).
    (b) Classification. Class I. These devices are exempt from the 
premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this 
chapter.
