  • Subject agrees to comply with study procedures and sample collection for both the investigational device and the reference method
  • Subject is willing to participate in the study site's standard-of-care Gonorrhea counselling and testing program and receive standard-of-care test results, as required and applicable
  • Subject is indicated for sexually transmitted infection testing for one or more of the following reasons:
  • At risk of Gonorrhea, such as recent unprotected intercourse, multiple or new partners within < 60 days, known exposure to an infected partner, or prior STI history
  • Having signs and/or symptoms suggestive of Gonorrhea (e.g., urethral, vaginal, rectal, or pharyngeal discharge; dysuria; pelvic or lower-abdominal pain; sore throat; or rectal discomfort)
  • Undergoing routine or opportunistic STI screening, including family-planning, antenatal, or sexual-health clinic visits
  • Undergoing re-testing (test-of-cure) > 7 days after completion of Gonorrhea treatment and clinically stable
  • Undergoing co-testing for other STIs where Gonorrhea testing is part of a broader diagnostic panel

Exclusion Criteria15

  • Subject 15 years of age or younger
  • Male gender
  • Female currently menstruating
  • Subject is unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
  • Subject is medically unstable or has psychiatric condition(s) that pose a risk or prevent study compliance

  • Subject used topical intravaginal or rectal antiseptics within 48 hours prior to study sampling
  • Previously enrolled for the same infection episode
  • Anatomical or clinical contraindication to study sampling (e.g., severe cervical pathology)
  • Recent urogenital procedure (e.g., cystoscopy, lavage) < 72 hours before study sampling
  • Subject belongs to a protected group excluded by local ethics (e.g., incarcerated persons), unless explicitly approved by the EC/IRB
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of trained personnel or study staff, would make the participant unsuitable or unsafe for enrolment, interfere with completion of assessments, consent, or questionnaires, or bias study outcomes
  • Subject is participating in another interventional clinical study within 30 days that could interfere with study results
