The performance studies are based on traditional statistical methods for assay validation.

No
Explanation: This device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay used for the quantitative determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. It provides information for diagnosis and assessment, but it does not treat or cure a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is an "aid in the assessment of vitamin D sufficiency" and its results "should be used in conjunction with other clinical data to assist the clinician in making individual patient management decisions." This indicates its purpose is to aid in diagnosis or assessment of a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it contains "sufficient reagents for 100 tests" and is an "automated 25-OH-D assay for use only on the Nichols Advantage Immunoassay System," indicating it is a hardware-based immunoassay system that utilizes reagents, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) and other hydroxylated metabolites of vitamin D in serum or plasma". Serum and plasma are biological specimens taken from the human body.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to be "used as an aid in the assessment of vitamin D sufficiency in an adult population". This is a diagnostic purpose, providing information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description: It's described as an "automated 25-OH-D assay", which is a type of test performed on biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies like method comparison and a clinical study, which are typical for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and clinical utility.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures. This device clearly fits this definition.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical Study: Patients (n=100) with a diagnosis of chronic renal insufficiency were evaluated with the NA 25-OH-D. Using a cutoff of 20 ng/mL, the results demonstrate the assay recognizes vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D insufficiency, consistent with biochemical measures of disordered calcium mineral ion metabolism. As renal failure becomes progressive worse, the frequency of low 25-0H-D levels increases as do biochemical measures of worsening indices of calcium mineral ion metabolism.

Comparison to Predicate Device:
Study type: Split sample method comparison study following the NCCLS EP9-A quidelines.
Sample size: N=99 samples. For n=80 samples within the reportable ranges of each method, the Passing & Bablok method comparison demonstrates: Y=1.1(X) - 0.6 (95% cf slope: 0.94 to 1.27; 95% cf intercept: -4.6 to 2.1), and a Pearson correlation r=0.84 (95%cf: 0.76-0.89). For the entire n=99 samples, relative agreement using a cut-off of 20 ng/mL or greater was 91%, and the relative agreement for values less than 20 ng/mL was 98%, with an overall agreement of 94%.

10.5 Comparison to a Predicate Device

Method comparison was made against the DiaSorin 25-Hydroxyvitamin D 125RIA kit. Both the predicate device and the subject device were performed exactly as described by their respective manufacturer's directional inserts. The NCCLS Method Comparison (EP9A) procedures were followed. There were n=111 total samples assayed, each in duplicate. The samples were assayed over 3 days in 3 different runs, and guality control samples for each run were within their respective ranges. Of the 111 paired samples, 80 were within the reportable ranges of each method and demonstrated acceptable levels of imprecision. We used 4 standard deviations to delete outliers for reasons of imprecision. Twelve samples demonstrated unacceptable levels of imprecision (>4 sd) and were deleted. Nineteen samples were below the reportable range (80.1 | | | | | | | | |

DiaSorin 25-OH-D (no/ml )

Using a cutoff of 20 ng/mL or higher, the relative agreement between methods were calculated.

Relative agreement at 20 ng/mL or less: [45/(45+1)] x 100 = 97.8% Relative agreement at 20 ng/mL and higher: [48/(5+48)] x 100 = 90.6% Overall agreement using 20 ng/mL as the cutoff: [45+48/99] x 100 = 93.9%

Using a cutoff of 20 ng/mL as the lower limit for vitamin D sufficiency, the subject device demonstrates a relative agreement of 90.6% with the DiaSorin assay at 20 ng/mL and higher. This demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the DiaSorin kit in detecting absence of low 25-OH-D levels for determining vitamin D sufficiency. For values below 20 ng/mL, the subject device demonstrates a relative agreement of 97.8% with the DiaSorin kit in identifying low 25-OH-D levels. The overall agreement was 93.9%.

In conclusion, these results in addition to the previous clinical study that evaluates levels of 25-OH-D in patients who are at great risk for vitamin D insufficiency and vitamin D deficiency demonstrate that this device is safe and effective for its intended use.
