Intended Use for the NextSeq 550Dx
United States:
The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is intended for targeted sequencing of DNA libraries from human genomic DNA extracted from peripheral whole blood or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, when used for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays performed on the instrument. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is not intended for whole genome or de novo sequencing. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is to be used with registered and listed, cleared or approved, IVD reagents and analytical software.
European Union:
The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is intended for sequencing of DNA libraries when used with in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays performed on the instrument. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is to be used with specific registered, certified or approved IVD reagents and analytical software.
