Intended Use

IMMULITE® Amphetamine is a solid-phase, chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use with the IMMULITE Automated Analyzer and designed for the qualitative measurement of Amphetamine in urine. It is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories, in the context of a program involving an established confirmatory test for amphetamine. A cutoff of 500 ng/mL is used by the IMMULITE Amphetamine assay to identify positive and negative results.

Device Description

IMMULITE® Amphetamine is a solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use with the IMMULITE® Automated Analyzer.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided text for the IMMULITE® Amphetamine device:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state formal "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner (e.g., "sensitivity must be >X%"). Instead, the performance is reported as a comparison to two other methods, demonstrating substantial equivalence. The implied acceptance is that the device performs comparably to established methods for amphetamine detection in urine.

Performance MetricIMMULITE Amphetamine vs. DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine (Predicate Device)IMMULITE Amphetamine vs. GC/MS (Confirmatory Method)
Relative Sensitivity100% (Positive vs. Positive: 32/32)Not explicitly reported as "relative sensitivity" but implied by 0 false negatives.
Relative Specificity98% (Negative vs. Negative: 125/128)Not explicitly reported as "relative specificity" but implied by 4 false positives.
Agreement98% (Overall agreement: (32+125)/160)Not explicitly reported.
False Positives3/128 (2.3% when DAb Amphetamine was negative)4/32 (12.5% when GC/MS was negative)
False Negatives0/32 (0% when DAb Amphetamine was positive)0/18 (0% when GC/MS was positive)

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set 1 (vs. DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine): 160 urine samples.
  • Test Set 2 (vs. GC/MS): 50 urine samples.
  • Data Provenance: The samples were obtained from "volunteer donors, presumed not to be drug abusers, and from a reference lab." This suggests a mix of potentially healthy individuals and samples that might represent a broader clinical spectrum. The study appears to be retrospective as these samples were collected and then analyzed with both methods. The country of origin is not explicitly stated.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

No direct mention of "experts" in the context of establishing ground truth. The ground truth for comparative studies was based on:

  • The results of a predicate device (DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine assay).
  • The results of GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), which is typically considered a gold standard confirmatory method for drug testing but doesn't involve human 'experts' establishing a subjective ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The comparisons are against a predicate device and a confirmatory analytical method (GC/MS) rather than subjective expert interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for chemical analysis, not an imaging or diagnostic device that involves human readers interpreting results with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, this was a standalone performance study. The IMMULITE® Amphetamine assay is an automated, solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay. Its performance was evaluated purely on its analytical output compared to other analytical methods. The results generated by the device are quantitative (photon output) and then categorized as positive/negative based on a predefined cutoff of 500 ng/mL, making it an "algorithm only" type of performance without human interpretation as part of its primary function.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For comparison against the predicate device: The ground truth was the result from the DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine assay. This is a comparator method, serving as a de facto "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
  • For comparison against GC/MS: The ground truth was the result from GC/MS. This is a confirmatory analytical method, widely considered a "gold standard" for drug identification and quantification in toxicology.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information about a "training set." This type of device (immunoassay) typically involves assay development and calibration rather than machine learning training in the conventional sense. The "Adjustor supplied with the kit" serves as a calibrator to define the 500 ng/mL cutoff for qualitative results.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable, as no conventional "training set" with ground truth in the AI/ML sense is mentioned or implied for this type of immunoassay. The cutoff (500 ng/mL) is an established regulatory threshold for amphetamine screening. The "Adjustor" in the kit is used to set the cutoff, and its value would be determined during the assay's development and manufacturing quality control to align with the 500 ng/mL threshold.

Description of Device:IMMULITE® Amphetamine is a solid-phasechemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use with theIMMULITE® Automated Analyzer.
Intended Use of theDevice:IMMULITE® Amphetamine is a solid-phasechemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for use with theIMMULITE Automated Analyzer and designed for thequalitative measurement of Amphetamine in urine. It isintended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use in clinicallaboratories, in the context of a program involving anestablished confirmatory test for Amphetamine. A cutoffof 500 ng/mL is used by the IMMULITE Amphetamineassay to identify positive and negative results.

Summary and Explanation of the test:

Amphetamine is a potent sympathomimetic amine capable of stimulating the central nervous system. There are two stereoisomers; d-amphetamine is three to four times more potent than I-amphetamine. The main results of an oral dose of amphetamine (10 to 30 mg) are increased alertness and wakefulness, with decreased sense of fatigue; an elevation of mood, concentration and self-confidence; and elation and euphoria. Amphetamine and similar drugs also suppress the appetite, and have been used in weightloss programs.

Amphetamines may be metabolized by p-hydroxylation, N-demethylation, deamination and conjugation. Nevertheless, substantial amounts are excreted unchanged in the urine. This process is influenced by urinary pH. Low amounts are excreted unchanged in alkaline urine, but as much as 80% of a dose can be excreted in acid urine.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Technological Comparison to Predicate:

IMMULITE Amphetamine is a solid-phase, chemiluminescent immunoassay. The solid-phase, a polystyrene bead enclosed within a IMMULITE Test Unit, is coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for amphetamine.

The patient sample and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated amphetamine are simultaneously introduced into the Test Unit and incubated for approximately 30 minutes at 37 ℃ with intermittent agitation. During this time, amphetamine in the samples competes with enzyme-labeled amphetamine for a limited number of antibody binding sites on the bead. Unbound enzyme conjugate is then removed by a centrifugal wash, after which substrate is added and the Test Unit is incubated for a further 10 minutes.

The chemiluminescent substrate, a phosphate ester of adamantyl dioxetane, undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline phosphatase to vield an unstable intermediate. The continuous production of this intermediate results in the sustained emission of light, thus improving precision by providing a window for multiple readings. The bound complex and thus also the photon output, as measured by the luminometer - is inversely proportional to the concentration of amphetamine in the sample. A qualitative result is then obtained by comparing the counts per second (cps) of the patient sample to those of a sample - the Adjustor supplied with the kit - representing the assay's 500 ng/mL cutoff.

DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine procedure is a competitive radioimmunoassay in which 125I-labeled amphetamine competes with amphetamine in the sample for antibody sites. After incubation for a fixed time, separation of bound from free is achieved by the PEG-accelerated double-antibody method. Finally, the antibody-bound fraction is precipitated and counted. The counts per minute in the sample tube are then compared to the counts per minute of the Positive Amphetamine Reference cutoff.

Performance Equivalence:

Diagnostic Products Corporation asserts that the IMMULITE® Amphetamine produces substantially equivalent results to other commercially marketed amphetamine assays. such as DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine assay. Each product is designed for the qualitative measurement of amphetamine in urine. Each product is intended strictly for in vitro diagnostic use in the context of a program involving an established confirmatory test for amphetamine and its principal metabolites.

Method Comparison:

The IMMULITE Amphetamine procedure was compared to DPC's Double Antibody Amphetamine on a total of 160 urine samples from volunteer donors, presumed not to be drug abusers, and from a reference lab. The samples ranged from 200 to approximately 1000 ng/mL. A cutoff of 500 ng/mL was used for both procedures.
