Device Description

The Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test System is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the semi-quantitative measurement of IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies to cardiolipin in human serum

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test System, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (Implied) and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated as numerical targets. Instead, the submission demonstrates the device's performance through comparison to a similar device and its clinical utility in specific patient populations. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred as achieving satisfactory levels of agreement and correlation with established methods, along with demonstrating clinical sensitivity and specificity.

Acceptance Criterion (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Relative Sensitivity (vs. comparable ELISA)82.2% (95% CI: 74.7-89.6%)
Relative Specificity (vs. comparable ELISA)100.0% (95% CI: 96.3-100.0%)
Overall Agreement (vs. comparable ELISA)91.0% (95% CI: 86.2-94.6%)
Clinical Specificity (Normals)95.3% (205/215)
Clinical Specificity (RPR Positive)66.7% (10/15)
Clinical Sensitivity (APS Patients)94.7% (54/57)
Clinical Sensitivity (SLE Patients)29.4% (10/34)
Clinical Sensitivity (Other Autoimmune Diseases)25.0% (6/24)
Correlation of Manual vs. Automated (MAGO Plus)Correlation Coefficient (r) = 0.9497 (with scattergrams and regression lines showing good correlation)
Precision (Intra-assay and Interassay)Reported CV% values for various serum samples and methods (manual and MAGO Plus). For example, manual interassay CV% ranged from 6.13% to 15.83%. MAGO Plus interassay CV% ranged from 16.70% to 34.51%. (No explicit acceptance criteria for CV% are given, but the data is provided to demonstrate acceptable precision for a diagnostic kit.)
Expected Values in Normal Population5.4% prevalence in a normal S. Florida blood donor population (148 tested).
Expected Values in Clinical Population (APS)94.7% positive in a clinical population with diagnosed APS (57 tested).

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

  • Relative Sensitivity and Specificity Study:
    • Sample Size: 203 frozen, retrospective sera.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be from a general population from which frozen sera were collected.
  • Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity Study:
    • Sample Size: 345 frozen, retrospective, clinically characterized sera.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but includes "Normals," "patients with diagnosed anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS)," "patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)," "patients with other autoimmune diseases," and "patients with positive RPR titers." These are clinical samples.
  • Correlation of Manual and MAGO Plus results:
    • Sample Size: 152 serum samples.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implies routine clinical samples tested by both methods.
  • Precision Study:
    • Sample Size: Six serum samples (two negative, four positive), tested in three separate runs, generally in triplicate per run for intra-assay, leading to 9 replicates for interassay (n=9).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated.
  • Expected Values Study (Normal Population):
    • Sample Size: 148 S. Florida blood donors.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective collection from "S. Florida blood donors."
  • Expected Values Study (Clinical Population):
    • Sample Size: 57 sera from patients with a diagnosis of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS).
    • Data Provenance: Retrospective, clinically characterized sera.

3. 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 being used to establish a ground truth for the test sets in the traditional sense of consensus reading or clinical adjudication.

  • For the "Relative Sensitivity and Specificity" study, the ground truth was established by comparison to a "commercially available ELISA kit" and further resolved by a "referee EIA method."
  • For the "Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity" study, the ground truth was based on "clinically characterized sera" and "diagnosed" patient populations (APS, SLE, etc.). This implies medical diagnosis as the ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

There is no mention of an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. The studies rely on comparison to existing commercial assays or established clinical diagnoses. In the "Relative Sensitivity and Specificity" study, there was "further resolution of the discordant samples" using a referee EIA method, which acts as a form of adjudication but not involving human readers/experts.

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

There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study and no AI component mentioned in the provided text. This device is an immunoassay kit, not an AI-powered diagnostic system involving human readers.

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

This refers to an immunoassay kit. The "standalone" performance is assessed by its analytical characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, precision, correlation to other methods) and clinical performance without human interpretation being the primary variable. The device itself generates a semi-quantitative result. The "MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor" represents an automated, "algorithm-only" (i.e., machine-only) method for running the assay, and its correlation with manual performance was specifically studied.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Relative Sensitivity and Specificity Study: Comparison to a commercially available ELISA kit and a "referee EIA method." This is a form of reference standard comparison (another validated test).
  • Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity Study: Clinical diagnosis of specific conditions (e.g., diagnosed Anti-phospholipid Syndrome (APS), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), normal status). This is a form of outcomes data/clinical characterization.
  • Expected Values Study:
    • Normal population: Healthy blood donor status (absence of disease).
    • Clinical population: Clinical diagnosis of Anti-phospholipid Syndrome (APS).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no mention of a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. This is a traditional immunoassay kit. Method development and optimization would have involved internal lab work, but not a distinct "training set" as understood in AI/ML. All samples mentioned in the summaries above would typically be considered "test sets" or "validation sets" for the final device performance.

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

As there is no mention of a training set in the AI/ML context, this question is not applicable. The development of the assay itself would have involved establishing the optimal conditions and reagents, but not "ground truth" for a training set in the AI sense.

Common Name:Anti-Cardiolipin ELISA test
Classification Name:Anticardiolipin immunological test system

Equivalent Device:

Orgentec Anti-cardiolipin Screen ELISA Assay

Device Description: The Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test System is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the semi-quantitative measurement of IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies to cardiolipin in human serum

Intended Use: The assay is intended for the semi-quantitative measurement of IgG. IgM and IgA antibodies to cardiolipin in human serum. The results of the assay can be used as an aid in the assessment of the risk of thrombosis in patients with SLE or SLE-like dosorders.

Principle of the Procedure:

The Is-anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test System is an indirect solid-phase enzyme immunoassay. Highly purified cardiolipin is coated onto plastic microwells and saturated with highly purified human B2-Glycoprotein I. Controls and diluted patient samples are added to the wells. Any patient IgG, IgM or IgA antibodies in the sample bind to the well. Anti-human horseradish peroxidase conjugate is then added After incubation and washing, a substrate solution is then added to each well. In the presence of bound enzyme, the substrate is converted to a blue colored product. After acid additon to stop the reaction, a yellow end product is formed that is read spectrophotometrically at 450 nm (reference 600-630 mm) and is directly proportional to the concentration of cardiolipin IgG, IgM and IgA antibodies in the sample.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Performance Characteristics

A. Relative Sensitivity and Specificity

Two hundred and three frozen, retrospective sera were tested for IgG/IgM/IgA cardiolipin antibodies using the I wo hand careen Test Kit and a commercially available ELISA kit for detecting cardiolipin IgG/IgM/IgA antibodies. Based on the results of this resing the relative sensitivity, relative specificity and overall agreement were calculated. The results obtained are shown below. Further resolution of the discordant samplesshowed that were samples that were negative in the Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen and positive by the other EIA were negative by a referee EIA method. The remaining ten discordant samples were positive in the referee test.

C. Correlation of Manual and MAGO Plus results

The Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test Kit has been developed for automated as well as manual use. To demonstrate the equivalence of the manual and MAGO Plus procedures, the results of 152 serum samples tested for anti-Cardiolipin IgG/IgM/IgA antibodies by both the manual and automated methods, and whose values were within the reportable range of the assay, were plotted. Scattergrams and regression lines of the results obtained with 95% confidence intervals are shown in FIGURE 1. The data indicate good correlation with a Correlation Coefficient (r) of 0.9497.

Image /page/2/Figure/2 description: The image is a scatter plot titled "FIGURE 3: Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Manual vs MAGO Plus Correlation". The x-axis is labeled "MANUAL U/ML" and ranges from 0 to 100. The y-axis is labeled "MAGO Plus U/ML" and ranges from 0 to 120. The plot shows a positive correlation between the two variables, with data points scattered around a regression line.

D. Precision

To assess the precision of the Is anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test Kit six serum samples of varying reactivity (two negative and four positive) were tested in three separate runs. Precision was assessed both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor. The results obtained are shown in below.

Expected Values

The prevalence of anti-cardiolipin antibodies may vary depending on a number of factors such as age, gender, geographical location, race, type of test used and clinical history of individual patients. Antibodies to anti-cardiolipin are generally absent, or have a very low incidence, in the normal healthy population. Increased incidence can occur in the elderly population. A published study has shown a prevalence of 12% in the elderly population (mean age of 70 years) as opposed to 2% for a younger population. In addition, anti-cardiolipin antibodies were detected in 23% of elderly individuals who were also positive for anti-nuclear antibodies (12).

In the present study, the expected values for a normal, healthy population were assessed by testing sera from one hundred and forty-eight S. Florida blood donors (ninety-eight males and fifty females) in the Is-anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test Kit. One hundred and forty sera (94.6%) were negative for antibodies, eight sera (5.4%) were positive and none were equivocal. The age distribution and antibody prevalence for this population are shown in the table below.

The expected values for a clinical population were assessed by testing fifty-seven sera from patients with a diagnosis of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) in the Is-anti-Cardiolipin Screen Test Kit. Fifty-four (94.7%) were positive, three (5.3%) were negative and none were equivocal for IgG/IgM/ IgA antibodies.

Histograms showing the distribution of values for these normal and clinical populations are shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
