Brief Summary:
The study is an evaluation of the Evivo Screening Test's ability to differentiate between high and low levels of Bifidobacterium in infant stool specimens.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Gut Microbiome Device: Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective, multi-center clinical study of the Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test ("Evivo Screening Test").

Lower levels of bifidobacteria in the infant gut have been linked to increased incidence of metabolic and inflammatory disorders. This CLIA Waiver User Testing study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test, which was designed to differentiate between high and low levels of Bifidobacterium in infant stool. This study is intended to confirm the precision of results for this screening test, as well as its ease of use, in a setting that closely resembles the conditions of intended use, specifically the circumstances of sample collection, the location of test sites, and the potential operators.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Infants less than 6 months of age
The Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test study is a single-group interventional study of 600 female and male infants who are less than 6 months of age and generally healthy.
Device: Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test
Operators at each test site will collect and test infant stool specimens according to the Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test protocol.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the Evivo Screening Test's ability to differentiate between high and low levels of Bifidobacterium in infant stool specimens compared to molecular methods (quantitative PCR). [ Time Frame: 2 - 6 weeks ]
    The primary objective of this CLIA Waiver User Testing study is to evaluate the performance of the Evivo Infant Gut Bifidobacterium Screening Test in a setting that closely resembles the conditions of intended use, specifically the circumstances of sample collection, the location of test sites, and the potential operators.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Ease of use of the Evivo Screening Test by operators. [ Time Frame: 2 - 6 weeks ]
    Operators will be asked to complete Operator Questionnaires about their experience using the Screening Test. A 5-point Likert scale will be used to measure outcomes (1 for strongly disagree and 5 for strongly agree). Lower values will represent a worse outcome.
