Datum: 2 juni 2020
Betreft: aanmelding In-vitro diagnostica
Geachte heer Wei,
Op 10 mei 2020 ontving ik uw notificatie krachtens artikel 4, eerste lid van het
Nederlandse Besluit in-vitro diagnostica (BIVD) om onder de bedrijfsnaam Merlin
Biomedical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd met Europees gemachtigde Lotus NL B.V.
onderstaand product als in-vitro diagnosticum op de Europese markt te brengen.
Het product staat geregistreerd als in-vitro diagnosticum onder nummer:
Novel Coronavirus (COVID­19) RT­PCR Kit,2019­nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid
Test Cassette,Single Use Specimen Container
(geen merknaam) (NL­CA002­2020­51178)
Hiermee heeft u voldaan aan uw verplichting op grond van artikel 4, BIVD.
In alle verdere correspondentie betreffende bovenvermeld product verzoek ik u dit
nummer te vermelden. Aan dit nummer kunnen geen verdere rechten ontleend
worden, het dient alleen om de notificatie administratief te vergemakkelijken.
De registratie van in-vitro diagnostica als medisch hulpmiddel op grond van de
Classificatiecriteria (Bijlage II) bij Richtlijn 98/79/EG betreffende medische
hulpmiddelen voor in-vitro diagnostiek is onderhevig aan mogelijke revisies van
Europese regelgeving inzake de classificatie van medische hulpmiddelen en aan
voortschrijdend wetenschappelijk inzicht (zie artikel artikel 10, eerste lid van
Richtlijn 98/79/EG).
Pagina 2 van 2
Notificatie van in-vitro diagnostische medische hulpmiddelen impliceert dat de
fabrikant, Merlin Biomedical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd de CE-conformiteitsmarkering heeft
aangebracht op het desbetreffende product alvorens het in een EU-lidstaat in de
handel te brengen. Zodoende garandeert Lotus NL B.V. dat het in-vitro
diagnosticum voldoet aan de essentiële eisen zoals opgenomen in bijlage I bij
Richtlijn 98/79/EG (en in het daarmee corresponderende onderdeel 1 bij het
besluit)
Volledigheidshalve wijzen wij u erop dat een in-vitro diagnosticum moet voldoen
aan de eisen uit het BIVD. Het BIVD is gebaseerd op Richtlijn voor in-vitro
diagnostiek, 98/79/EG. Met name wijzen wij u op de Nederlandse-taaleis zoals
deze in Nederland geldt, de eisen voor het ter beschikking houden van de
technische documentatie en de plicht tot het hebben van een Post Marketing
Surveillance- en vigilantiesysteem.
Tot slot merk ik op dat met uw notificatie - de administratieve notificatie als
fabrikant - en deze brief geen sprake is van een oordeel over de status of
kwalificatie van uw product: notificering betekent niet dat daadwerkelijk sprake is
van een in-vitro diagnosticum in de zin van de onderhavige wet- en regelgeving.
In voorkomende gevallen kan de Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd (IGJ),
belast met het toezicht op de naleving van het bij of krachtens de wet bepaalde,
een standpunt innemen over de status van een product, waarbij het volgens vaste
jurisprudentie uiteindelijk aan de nationale rechter is om te bepalen of een
product onder de definitie van in-vitro diagnosticum valt.

Limitation:
• The test result of this product is positive, which can indicate the
presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the tested samples. The clinical diagnosis
and treatment of patients should be considered in combination with
other symptoms/signs, medical history, other laboratory tests and
treatment responses.
• The test results are related to the process of sample collection, transfer,
storage and processing, and any mistakes may lead to inaccurate
results. If cross-contamination is not properly controlled during sample
processing, false positive results may occur.
• The test is limited to the specified extraction reagents, specimen types,
and applicable instruments. Other unverified situations require
laboratory verification before use.
• During the design of this product, relatively conservative fragments of
viral nucleic acids were selected for amplification and detection, but the
virus gene is possible to mutate. Although the mutation rate in the
conservative region which selected for amplification detection is very
small, but the possibility cannot be completely avoided theoretically.
• This product cannot be used for the differential diagnosis of SARS.
• Test results shall be determined according to the “result interpretation”.

Pagina 1 van 2 > Retouradres Postbus 16114 2500 BC Den Haag Lotus NL B.V. T.a.v. de heer X. Wei Koningin Julianaplein 10 2595 AA 's-Gravenhage Datum: 2 juni 2020 Betreft: aanmelding In-vitro diagnostica Geachte heer Wei, Op 10 mei 2020 ontving ik uw notificatie krachtens artikel 4, eerste lid van het Nederlandse Besluit in-vitro diagnostica (BIVD) om onder de bedrijfsnaam Merlin Biomedical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd met Europees gemachtigde Lotus NL B.V. onderstaand product als in-vitro diagnosticum op de Europese markt te brengen. Het product staat geregistreerd als in-vitro diagnosticum onder nummer: Novel Coronavirus (COVID­19) RT­PCR Kit,2019­nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette,Single Use Specimen Container (geen merknaam) (NL­CA002­2020­51178) Hiermee heeft u voldaan aan uw verplichting op grond van artikel 4, BIVD. In alle verdere correspondentie betreffende bovenvermeld product verzoek ik u dit nummer te vermelden. Aan dit nummer kunnen geen verdere rechten ontleend worden, het dient alleen om de notificatie administratief te vergemakkelijken. De registratie van in-vitro diagnostica als medisch hulpmiddel op grond van de Classificatiecriteria (Bijlage II) bij Richtlijn 98/79/EG betreffende medische hulpmiddelen voor in-vitro diagnostiek is onderhevig aan mogelijke revisies van Europese regelgeving inzake de classificatie van medische hulpmiddelen en aan voortschrijdend wetenschappelijk inzicht (zie artikel artikel 10, eerste lid van Richtlijn 98/79/EG).
  • 6. Pagina 2 van 2 Notificatie van in-vitro diagnostische medische hulpmiddelen impliceert dat de fabrikant, Merlin Biomedical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd de CE-conformiteitsmarkering heeft aangebracht op het desbetreffende product alvorens het in een EU-lidstaat in de handel te brengen. Zodoende garandeert Lotus NL B.V. dat het in-vitro diagnosticum voldoet aan de essentiële eisen zoals opgenomen in bijlage I bij Richtlijn 98/79/EG (en in het daarmee corresponderende onderdeel 1 bij het besluit) Volledigheidshalve wijzen wij u erop dat een in-vitro diagnosticum moet voldoen aan de eisen uit het BIVD. Het BIVD is gebaseerd op Richtlijn voor in-vitro diagnostiek, 98/79/EG. Met name wijzen wij u op de Nederlandse-taaleis zoals deze in Nederland geldt, de eisen voor het ter beschikking houden van de technische documentatie en de plicht tot het hebben van een Post Marketing Surveillance- en vigilantiesysteem. Tot slot merk ik op dat met uw notificatie - de administratieve notificatie als fabrikant - en deze brief geen sprake is van een oordeel over de status of kwalificatie van uw product: notificering betekent niet dat daadwerkelijk sprake is van een in-vitro diagnosticum in de zin van de onderhavige wet- en regelgeving. In voorkomende gevallen kan de Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd (IGJ), belast met het toezicht op de naleving van het bij of krachtens de wet bepaalde, een standpunt innemen over de status van een product, waarbij het volgens vaste jurisprudentie uiteindelijk aan de nationale rechter is om te bepalen of een product onder de definitie van in-vitro diagnosticum valt. De Minister voor Medische Zorg en Sport, namens deze, Afdelingshoofd Farmatec Dr. M.J. van de Velde

Rx Only Merlin Biomedical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. 3 / 3 HEX/VIC/JOE (N gene) Cy5 (E gene) Cal Red 610/ROX/TEXAS RED (Inner Control, β-actin) Results Interpretation: If the negative/positive control results meet the above "Quality Control ", Interpretation of Ct value of the target gene detection according to below Table: For CP01020011/CP02400011: Result of Sample ROX (Inner Control, β-actin) FAM (ORF1ab Gene) HEX (N Gene) Negative Ct<40, with good amplification curve Ct≥42 or No Ct Ct≥42 or No Ct Positive Ct<42 Ct<42 Suspicious results: for FAM or HEX, 42≤Ct<45, repeat experiment. If Ct <42 with good amplification curve, the sample is judged to be positive; otherwise, it is negative. For CP01980011/CP02410011: Test result Negative (-) Positive (+) FAM (ORF1ab gene) Ct≥42 or No Ct Ct<42 HEX/VIC/JOE (N gene) Cy5 (E gene) Cal Red 610/ROX/TEXAS RED (Inner Control, β-actin) Based on the above test results, the sample result interpretation is as follows: Result of Sample Result interpretation ORF1ab, N gene and E gene are all (+) SARS-CoV-2 positive ORF1ab (+) and N gene (+) ORF1ab (+) and E gene (+) Only ORF1ab gene (+) Repeat the test. If it is still (+), it will be interpreted as SARS-CoV-2 positive. Only ORF1ab gene (-) Repeat the test. If ORF1ab, and N gene and/or E gene are (+), interpret the result as SARS-CoV-2 positive; Otherwise interpret the result as suspect who need to be retested the other time. ORF1ab (-) and N gene (+) ORF1ab (-) and E gene (+) ORF1ab, N gene and E gene are all (-) SARS-CoV-2 negative Limitation: • The test result of this product is positive, which can indicate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the tested samples. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients should be considered in combination with other symptoms/signs, medical history, other laboratory tests and treatment responses. • The test results are related to the process of sample collection, transfer, storage and processing, and any mistakes may lead to inaccurate results. If cross-contamination is not properly controlled during sample processing, false positive results may occur. • The test is limited to the specified extraction reagents, specimen types, and applicable instruments. Other unverified situations require laboratory verification before use. • During the design of this product, relatively conservative fragments of viral nucleic acids were selected for amplification and detection, but the virus gene is possible to mutate. Although the mutation rate in the conservative region which selected for amplification detection is very small, but the possibility cannot be completely avoided theoretically. • This product cannot be used for the differential diagnosis of SARS. • Test results shall be determined according to the “result interpretation”.
