Intended Use

Vigil Lipid Control stabilized liquid-control serums are intended for monitoring the reliability of manual and automated in vitro diagnostic assays of lipid analytes. The values for this control have been established using Beckman Coulter Reagents on Beckman Coulter Clinical Analyzers, and are specific for those systems. The use of three or more levels of control enables the laboratorian to monitor changes in calibration linearity along with analytical error and imprecision.

Device Description

The Vigil Lipid Controls are four-level, ready-to-use human serum-based liquid controls manufactured by Beckman Coulter, Inc. Each kit contains 4 X 4 mL bottles of a single level of control. Vigil Lipid Controls are made from stabilized human serum and are designed to monitor the reliability of manual and automated in vitro diagnostic assays of lipid analytes in the clinical laboratory. Vigil Lipid Control serum is derived from human plasma that has been defibrinated and then stabilized by freezing at temperature between -15°C and -20°C.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document, a 510(k) summary for the "Vigil™ Lipid Control," primarily focuses on regulatory approval and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It lacks detailed information about specific acceptance criteria, study methodologies, and performance data typically found in a comprehensive clinical or performance study report. Therefore, I cannot fully answer all aspects of your request based on the provided text.

Here is an analysis of what information can be extracted and what is missing:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states: "Performance data from validation testing supports equivalency." However, it does not provide a table of specific acceptance criteria (e.g., precision limits, accuracy targets) nor the reported device performance values against those criteria.

Missing Information:

The document does not contain the following information:

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: There is no mention of a specific test set, its size, or the country of origin of the data, nor is it stated whether the data was retrospective or prospective.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: There is no mention of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  • Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Since no test set or expert ground truth establishment is described, no adjudication method is detailed.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size: This type of study is not mentioned as this is a quality control material, not typically an imaging or diagnostic device requiring MRMC studies.
  • If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: This is not applicable as the device is a quality control material, not an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used: There is no explicit mention of ground truth as the document focuses on the control's performance with specific analyzers and reagents. For a quality control material, "ground truth" would typically refer to the accurately assigned values for the analytes within the control, established through a robust reference method or certified reference materials. The document states, "The values for this control have been established using Beckman Coulter Reagents on Beckman Coulter Clinical Analyzers, and are specific for those systems," implying that the "truth" for the control's performance is tied to its expected behavior on the specified systems.
  • The sample size for the training set: This is not applicable as the device is a quality control material, not an AI/algorithm-based device that requires a training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: This is not applicable.

Explanation for Missing Information:

The "Vigil™ Lipid Control" is a quality control material for in vitro diagnostic assays. Its regulatory submission (510(k)) primarily focuses on demonstrating that it is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, especially after modifications (rewording of intended use, adding value assignments for new assays). For this type of device, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" would typically involve:

  1. Value Assignment Studies: Establishing the target ranges for various lipid analytes within the control material when run on specific Beckman Coulter analyzers with specific reagents.
  2. Stability Studies: Demonstrating that the control material maintains its assigned values and integrity over its shelf life and during use.
  3. Homogeneity Studies: Ensuring that the control material is uniform throughout the batch.
  4. Performance on Target Systems: Running the control on the intended analyzers to verify it performs within acceptable ranges (precision, bias) and can detect significant shifts in assay performance.

The provided 510(k) summary states "Performance data from validation testing supports equivalency," meaning these types of tests were likely performed to demonstrate that the modified Vigil Lipid Control performs similarly to the predicate Vigil Lipid Control and can fulfill its intended purpose of monitoring assay reliability. However, the details of these tests (specific acceptance criteria, results, sample sizes, etc.) are not included in this high-level summary. They would typically be found in the full 510(k) submission not publicly disclosed in this format.

6.0 Intended Use

Vigil Lipid Control stabilized liquid-control serums are intended for monitoring the reliability of manual and automated in vitro diagnostic assays of lipid analytes. The values for this control have been established using Beckman Coulter Reagents on Beckman Coulter Clinical Analyzers, and are specific for those systems. The use of three or more levels of control enables the laboratorian to monitor changes in calibration linearity along with analytical error and imprecision.

7.0 Comparison to the Predicate (Description of the Modification to the Legally Marketed Device)

The Intended Use statement for the Vigil Lipid Control has been reworded to a generic statement for lipid analytes. Value assignment for Beckman Coulter's SYNCHRON Systems LDL Cholesterol (LDLD) and Direct HDL (HDLD) assays have been added to the product insert.

§ 862.1660 Quality control material (assayed and unassayed).

(a)
Identification. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) for clinical chemistry is a device intended for medical purposes for use in a test system to estimate test precision and to detect systematic analytical deviations that may arise from reagent or analytical instrument variation. A quality control material (assayed and unassayed) may be used for proficiency testing in interlaboratory surveys. This generic type of device includes controls (assayed and unassayed) for blood gases, electrolytes, enzymes, multianalytes (all kinds), single (specified) analytes, or urinalysis controls.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). Except when intended for use in donor screening tests, quality control materials (assayed and unassayed) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9.
