ORAcollect^®•Dx device usability study for Direct-to-Consumer use (K212745):²

389 naive participants were mailed a sample collection device to their home. They were instructed to follow the instructions for use and return the collected saliva sample by mail.

• 95% of participants demonstrated full compliance with shipping instructions and 99.5% of the specimens contained sufficient DNA after extraction

• 100% of extracted samples had a call rate of 99.7% on the A1AT genotyping test

• 324 participants also returned a comprehension questionnaire and each question was answered correctly by ≥ 95% of the participants.

Results of user comprehension, compliance with shipping instructions and sample adequacy demonstrate successful device use by naive users when used in a Direct-to-Consumer setting.
