AI/ML Overview

The document describes the evaluation of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total Reagent Pack and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total Calibrator, a chemiluminescent immunoassay intended for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the clinical performance in a single, clear table with pass/fail thresholds. However, the Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) are the key clinical performance metrics presented. The FDA's decision to grant De Novo status implies that the reported performance met their internal criteria for safety and effectiveness for its intended use.

Here's a summary of the reported clinical performance:

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied by De Novo Grant)Reported Device Performance (Worst Case Across Systems) [Table 15-18 for PPA; Table 19 for NPA]
Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) for ≥15 days post-symptom onsetHigh (e.g., >90%)94.09% (VITROS XT 7600 Integrated Systems) - also seen in VITROS 5600
Negative Percent Agreement (NPA)High (e.g., >98%)99.41% (VITROS ECi/ECiQ)

Note: The PPA for samples collected early (0-7 days and 8-14 days post-symptom onset) is considerably lower (e.g., 36.00% to 44.00% for 0-7 days), reflecting the time required for antibody development. The indication for use specifies "samples collected on or after 15 days post-symptom onset," making the PPA for ≥15 days the most relevant for the primary intended use.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Test Set Sample Size:

    • PPA (Clinical Sensitivity Equivalent): 296 samples from individuals with prior SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR results were initially acquired. However, the "Number of Subjects Tested" varies slightly per analyzer, typically around 282-286 for individual system reporting, and 237-239 for the ≥15 days post-symptom onset group which is the most relevant for the device's claims.
    • NPA (Clinical Specificity Equivalent): 513 presumed SARS-CoV-2 negative samples collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The "Presumed Negative" count also varies slightly per analyzer, typically around 505-511.
  • Data Provenance:

    • Country of Origin: All samples were collected within the United States.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: The samples were collected retrospectively. Population 1 (positive samples) was collected between April 2020 and April 2021. Population 2 (negative samples) was collected prior to December 2019.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This is an in vitro diagnostic device for antibody detection, not an imaging AI system. Therefore, the "ground truth" for the clinical study was established by RT-PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 infection (for positive samples) and collection of samples prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (for negative samples). There is no mention of human experts (e.g., pathologists or radiologists) adjudicating the ground truth for this type of test.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable for this type of in vitro diagnostic test where RT-PCR is the comparator and pre-pandemic samples define the negative group. Discrepancy resolution with expert radiologists would be relevant for imaging-based AI studies, not serology tests.

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 is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for laboratory use, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). Its performance is evaluated as a standalone laboratory test.

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

Yes, the clinical performance (PPA and NPA) presented for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test is its standalone performance as an automated laboratory assay. There is no human-in-the-loop component for the interpretation or usage of the result beyond the laboratory professional's decision to report the qualitative positive/negative result.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • For Positive Samples (PPA): Ground truth was established by prior SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR test results. The document states, "...using a comparator that FDA determined is appropriate (RT-PCR test)."
  • For Negative Samples (NPA): Ground truth was established by collection date prior to the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 (i.e., prior to December 2019), deeming them "presumed SARS-CoV-2 negative samples."

8. The sample size for the training set

This document describes the validation of a commercial in vitro diagnostic (IVD) product, not an AI/machine learning model where a distinct 'training set' of patient data in the typical AI sense would be used to train the algorithm. The "training" of this device involves the development and optimization of the chemical reagents, assay parameters, and cutoff values performed internally by the manufacturer (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics).

The closest equivalent to a "training" activity described in the context of setting the device's operational parameters is the Assay Cut-Off determination study (page 12-13). This study used:

  • "a collection of negative samples collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic"
  • "samples collected from individuals with a prior SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive result."

The specific numbers of these samples for the cutoff determination are not explicitly stated, but are implied to be part of the broader pool of samples available to the manufacturer during development. The ROC curve analysis was performed on these samples to optimize sensitivity and specificity at the S/C = 1.00 cutoff.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As noted in point 8, this isn't an AI model with a conventional training set. For the "samples" used in the Assay Cut-Off determination (analogous to internal optimization/training data):

  • Negative Ground Truth: Established by "negative samples collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic."
  • Positive Ground Truth: Established by "samples collected from individuals with a prior SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positive result."

This implies a similar method to the clinical validation set for establishing true positive and true negative status, but performed during the device development phase to define the S/C cutoff.

B Principle of Operation

{3}------------------------------------------------

The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test is performed using the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total Reagent Pack and the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total Calibrator on the VITROS ECi/ECiQ/3600 Immunodiagnostic Systems and the VITROS 5600/XT 7600 Integrated Systems. An immunometric technique is used; this involves a two-stage reaction. In the first stage antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 present in the sample bind with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 antigen coated on the well. Unbound sample is removed by washing. In the second stage horseradish peroxidase (HRP)- labeled recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein SI antigen is added in the conjugate reagent. The conjugate binds specifically to any anti-SARS-CoV-2 captured on the well in the first stage. Unbound conjugate is removed by the subsequent wash step.

The bound HRP conjugate is measured by a luminescent reaction. A reagent containing luminogenic substrates (a luminol derivative and a peracid salt) and an electron transfer agent is added to the wells. The HRP in the bound conjugate catalyzes the oxidation of the luminol derivative, producing light. The electron transfer agent (a substituted acetanilide) increases the level of light produced and prolongs its emission. The light signals are read by the system.

A Analytical Performance:

    1. Precision/Reproducibility:
    • A. Within-Laboratory Precision: The within-laboratory precision of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test was evaluated with EDTA plasma pools samples (PP4, PP5, and PP6), negative and positive quality control materials (PP1, PP2), and the calibrator (PP3), on the VITROS ECi/ECiQ and 3600 Immunodiagnostics Systems and the VITROS 5600 and XT7600 Integrated Systems following the CLSI document EP05-A3. A total of 3 lots of reagent packs, calibrators and controls were included in the study. For each reagent lot, operators ran two replicates of each precision panel sample on two occasions per day for twenty nonconsecutive days.

The data presented are a representation of test performance and are provided as a guideline. Variables such as sample handling and storage, reagent handling and storage, laboratory environment, and system maintenance can affect reproducibility of test results.

Each precision panel was tested in duplicate, in two runs per day, on 20 non-consecutive days, on each instrument for a total of 80 observations per sample and lot. The study included three reagent lots and was evaluated within a single calibration cycle (2

Analytical sensitivity at the cutoff using a Certified Reference Material:

The analytical sensitivity of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test was determined using a series of serial dilutions of the WHO First International Standard for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin (human) code [ [Certified Reference Material or CRM) in negative patient matrix. Samples included in the study were prepared covering a BAU/mL to (b)(+) BAU/mL range (Table 10), Each sample was tested in triplicate for three days using one lot of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test on one VITROS analyzer (VITROS 5600).

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics collected both ALU and S/C for each of the CRM samples tested. Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics analyzed the data using the least-squares regression analysis, where the represented the BAU/mL and the 1000 |the S/C values for each sample. Using the regression equation, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics calculated the BAU/mL at the cutoff (S/C = 1.00). The data analysis shows that a S/C of 1.00 corresponds to [1632] BAU/mL using the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test.

Calibration Cycle Stability

The purpose of this study was to establish the calibration interval, or how frequently the assay should be calibrated. The calibration interval was established by testing samples on the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test using a single calibration over time.

In the study, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics included a panel of 6 precision pool samples. Each panel member was prepared as follows:

  • . Precision Pool 1 (PP1): Control level 1 (Non-Reactive)
  • . Precision Pool 2 (PP2): Control level 2 (Reactive)
  • . Precision Pool 3 (PP3): Calibrator
  • Precision Pool 4 (PP4): High negative EDTA plasma sample .
  • Precision Pool 5 (PP5): Low Positive EDTA plasma sample .
  • Precision Pool 6 (PP6): High Positive EDTA plasma sample .

After a single initial calibration on Day | samples were tested on Day wand up to Day on the VITROS ECi/ECiQ, VITROS 3600, VITROS 5600, and VITROS XT7600.

For each positive sample (PP2, PP4, PP5, and PP6) linear regression analysis was conducted. In addition, percent difference from baseline was calculated as follows:

15/143

The percent difference to baseline should be 1014

The study results support a calibration interval stability of 28 days for the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total test.

IX Benefit/Risk Assessment:

A Summary of the Assessment of Benefit:

The benefit of the assay is the ability to detect Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Total antibodies as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. The device could also provide a tool for tracking possible patient exposure. True positive test results provide additional support for the diagnosis of recent or past SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results could be used in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological information, as well as other laboratory results to guide patient management. The test results may improve infection control measures and may aid in tracking and reducing transmission of infection. There is currently no SARS-CoV-2 antibody test that has undergone full FDA premarket review to

most definitively determine clinical truth of the presence of detectable antibodies for the method comparison study, however this uncertainty could be acceptable, particularly because the sponsor used a comparator that FDA determined is appropriate (SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR devices), which represents the most reasonable alternative to establish clinical truth in the clinical study. This is an acceptable source of uncertainty regarding the benefits of the test.

B Summary of the Assessment of Risk:

The risks associated with the device, when used as intended, are those related to the risk of false test results, which have essentially the same impacts as the risks related to failure to correctly interpret the test results and failure to correctly operate the device as all would cause the user to rely on incorrect information.

A false negative result could be interpreted as indicating that a person did not recently have COVID-19, which may lead a person to take fewer necessary precautions against spreading the virus to others if they are still shedding the virus from a recent infection. This mav increase the risk of transmission. In the context of the current public health emergency, incorrect serological test results used to guide infection control activities could lead to misallocation of resources used for surveillance and prevention. The positive percent agreement performance point estimate of the device observed in the clinical study indicates that false negative results are not likely to occur when the device is used in the intended use population.

A false positive SARS-CoV-2 antibody result could be interpreted as a diagnosis of recent COVID-19, and a clinician may assume a patient may still be shedding the virus, which may result in unnecessary additional testing, quarantine, or self-isolation to prevent the spread of the virus to others. False positive serology test results can lead to an incorrect assessment that the tested person had an immune response to SARS-CoV-2, which may lead the person to take fewer necessary precautions against virus exposure. This may increase the individual's risk of infection and may lead the person to not seek testing if later infected, likely increasing the spread of the disease. In the context of the current public health emergency, incorrect serological test results used to guide infection control activities could lead to misallocation of resources used for surveillance and prevention.

A positive result could be wrongly interpreted as a diagnosis of acute COVID-19 to explain an individual's symptoms and delay correct diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment for the actual cause of patient illness. A positive test result could be wrongly interpreted as indicating. that the tested person has immunity to SARS-CoV-2, which may lead the person to take fewer precautions against virus exposure. This may increase the individual's risk of infection and may lead the person to not seek testing if later infected, likely increasing the spread of the disease. A negative result may be misinterpreted as ruling out SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a concomitant delay in the correct diagnosis and treatment.

D Summary of the Assessment of Benefit-Risk:

The risks associated with the device (risk of false test results, failure to correctly interpret the results, and failure to correctly operate the device) are mitigated by labeling information, which will assist the operator in correctly performing the test and will assist healthcare providers in understanding the intended use of the test and evaluating the predictive value of a result based on the analytical and clinical performance of the test. In addition, those risks are mitigated by the use of certain validated specimen collection devices. Further, the risk of false test results and failure to correctly interpret the results are mitigated by certain design verification and validation, including analytical and clinical studies and risk analysis strategies to reduce the likelihood of such errors. Finally, the risk of false test results due to a disease or disorder that presents a public health emergency, or a public health emergency that otherwise exists are addressed by special controls requiring certain testing of characterized samples and labeling information in those situations. The special controls help to ensure that errors will be uncommon and will facilitate accurate assay implementation and interpretation of results. In addition, the device's performance observed in the clinical study suggests that errors will be uncommon and that the assay will provide benefits to patients as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. While general controls alone are insufficient to mitigate the risks associated with the device, the benefits outweigh the risks given the special controls.
