The Ultegra® Rapid Platelet Function Assay-ASA (RPFA-ASA) is a qualitative test to aid in the detection of platelet dysfunction due to aspirin (ASA) ingestion in citrated whole blood for the point of care or laboratory setting.
Not for use in patients with underlying congenital platelet abnormalities, patients with non-ASA induced acquired platelet abnormalities or in patients receiving non-ASA anti-platelet agents (may be used in patients treated with selective COX-2 inhibitors, e.g., celecoxib (Celebrex®) and rofecoxib (Vioxx®)).
The Ultegra System is a turbidimetric based optical detection system which measures platelet induced aggregation as an increase in light transmittance. The system consists of a stand-alone analyzer and disposable test cartridge with reagents based on microbead agglutination technology. The quality control system includes an electronic control and two levels of liquid control. The analyzer controls assay sequencing, establishes the assay temperature, controls the reagent-sample mixing for the required duration, determines the degree of platelet function, displays the results and status information to the user, and performs self-diagnostics.
The test cartridge contains a lyophilized preparation of human fibrinogen coated beads, platelet agonist, buffer, and preservative. The patient sample is citrated whole blood, which is automatically dispensed from the blood collection tube into the test cartridge by the analyzer, with no blood handling required by the user. Fibrinogen-coated microparticles are used in the Ultegra RPFA-ASA cartridge to bind to available platelet receptors. When the activated platelets are exposed to the fibringgen-coated microparticles, agglutination occurs in proportion to the number of available platelet receptors. To ensure consistent and uniform activation of the platelets, cationic propyl gallate (c-PG) is incorporated into the assay cartridge to induce platelet activation without fibrin formation. The Ultegra Analyzer is designed to measure this agglutination as an increase in light transmittance. Utregra RPFA-ASA Assay results are reported as Aspirin Reaction Units (ARU).
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for Accumetrics Ultegra® System Rapid Platelet Function Assay -ASA (RPFA-ASA)
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | Sufficient for qualitative detection of aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction | 92.1% (86.4% to 96.0%) |
| Specificity | Sufficient for qualitative detection of aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction | 85.3% (78.4% to 90.7%) |
Note: The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for sensitivity and specificity. The implied criteria are that the device performance should be acceptable for its intended use as a qualitative test to aid in the detection of platelet dysfunction due to aspirin ingestion.
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- "ASA Present" group (Post-ASA): 143 samples
- "ASA Absent" group (Pre-ASA): 140 samples
- Total Patients: 148 patients (each patient provided samples at two time points: pre-ASA and post-ASA).
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: Not specified in the provided document, but the study was a multi-center clinical trial.
- Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective. Samples were obtained from subjects before and after aspirin ingestion as part of the trial design.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth & Qualifications
Not applicable. The ground truth for this study was established based on documented aspirin ingestion status, not expert interpretation of results.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The ground truth was based on the aspirin ingestion status of the patients. The device results (ARU < 550 for positive, ARU ≥ 550 for negative) were compared directly against this ground truth. There was no mention of human adjudication of device results itself.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a standalone diagnostic assay designed to measure platelet function, not to assist human readers in interpreting images or other data that typically require MRMC studies.
6. Standalone Performance Study
Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The performance metrics (sensitivity and specificity) represent the algorithm's (device's) ability to correctly classify samples based on the designated cutoff of 550 ARU without human intervention in the interpretation of the ARU value.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used was aspirin ingestion status. Patients were classified as "ASA Present" if they had ingested 325 mg of aspirin 2 to 30 hours prior to sample collection, and "ASA Absent" if samples were collected prior to aspirin ingestion.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for a dedicated "training set". The performance characteristics were evaluated in a "multi-center clinical trial" where subjects provided samples before and after aspirin ingestion. It is possible that the cutoff of 550 ARU was determined based on an initial analysis of these or similar data, but the breakdown into distinct training and test sets is not provided in detail. The presented concordance table and metrics appear to be from the evaluation of the final device performance.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As with the test set, the ground truth for any potential "training set" (or for the determination of the 550 ARU cutoff) would have been established based on the aspirin ingestion status of the subjects. This involves knowing whether a patient had ingested aspirin (e.g., a 325 mg dose) and the timing relative to sample collection.

Classification Name: System, Automated Platelet Aggregation
The Accumetrics Ultegra System Analyzer and RPFA-ASA Assay have been found to be substantially equivalent to previously cleared, automated platelet aggregation devices, specifically to CHRONO-LOG Corporation's Whole Blood Aggregometer (K830749).
Device Description:
The Ultegra System is a turbidimetric based optical detection system which measures platelet induced aggregation as an increase in light transmittance. The system consists of a stand-alone analyzer and disposable test cartridge with reagents based on microbead agglutination technology. The quality control system includes an electronic control and two levels of liquid control. The analyzer controls assay sequencing, establishes the assay temperature, controls the reagent-sample mixing for the required duration, determines the degree of platelet function, displays the results and status information to the user, and performs self-diagnostics.
The test cartridge contains a lyophilized preparation of human fibrinogen coated beads, platelet agonist, buffer, and preservative. The patient sample is citrated whole blood, which is automatically dispensed from the blood collection tube into the test cartridge by the analyzer, with no blood handling required by the user. Fibrinogen-coated microparticles are used in the Ultegra RPFA-ASA cartridge to bind to available platelet receptors.

activation without fibrin formation. The Ultegra Analyzer is designed to measure this agglutination as an increase in light transmittance. Utregra RPFA-ASA Assay results are reported as Aspirin Reaction Units (ARU).
Intended Use:
The Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay-ASA (RPFA-ASA) is a qualitative test to aid in the detection of platelet dysfunction due to aspirin (ASA) ingestion in citrated whole blood for the point of care or laboratory setting.
Not for use in patients with underlying congenital platelet abnormalities, patients with non-ASA induced acquired platelet abnormalities or in patients receiving non-ASA anti-platelet agents (may be used in patients treated with selective COX-2 inhibitors, e.g., celecoxib (Celebrex®) and rofecoxib (Vioxx®)).
This intended use statement is more specific than the broader statement in the labeling for the CHRONO-LOG Whole Blood Aggregometer: " ... measuring platelet aggregation in whole blood or platelet rich plasma." The narrower indication of the Ultegra RPFA-ASA Assay does not raise issues of safety or effectiveness since the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer contains data in its labeling regarding results after aspirin ingestion.
Technological Characteristics:
The Ultegra Analyzer and the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer utilize optical detection as the measurement method. Both systems are based on measurement of aggregation/agglutination. Both systems are used to determine platelet function.
Certain new characteristics of the Ultegra RPFA-ASA differ from the CHRONO-LOG. Fibringen coated microbeads are used in the Ultegra RPFA-ASA Assay, but not the CHRONO-LOG aggregometer. The Ultegra RPFA-ASA Assay uses the agonist cationic propyl gallate, whereas the CHRONO-LOG uses several different agonists. The Ultegra RPFA-ASA Assay includes two levels of liquid control, and the CHRONO-LOG does not.
These differences raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness, as shown by the performance characteristics of the two devices.
Performance Characteristics:
The Ultegra RPFA-ASA performance was evaluated in a multi-center clinical trial on venous whole blood samples from subjects with history of vascular disease or existence of at least two of eight risk factors for developing vascular disease.
The multi-center clinical trial was designed to study results from patients before and after aspirin ingestion (325 mg). Samples were obtained at four clinical sites from 148 patients at two time points: 1) Pre-ASA, prior to aspirin ingestion and 2) Post-ASA, 2 to 30 hours after ingestion of aspirin. Samples were tested in duplicate with the Ultegra RPFA-ASA Assay and compared to the patient's aspirin status. RPFA-ASA results were based on a designated cutoff of 550 ARU (extent of platelet aggregation measured).
{2}------------------------------------------------
Testing was performed on patients newly introduced to aspirin. Ultegra RPFA-ASA was evaluated against the presence and absence of aspirin ingestion. The concordance table below illustrates performance results.
| TEST RESULT | ASA STATE | |
|---|---|---|
| PRESENT (n=143) | ABSENT (n=140) | |
| POSITIVE(<550 ARU) | 129 | 21 |
| NEGATIVE(≥ 550 ARU) | 11 | 122 |
ASA Present:
Sensitivity = 92.1% (86.4% to 96.0%) Specificity = 85.3% (78.4% to 90.7%)
A reference range of expected values was identified from all patients enrolled in the clinical study. Results are illustrated in a non-parametric frequency distribution below. Values are distributed as no aspirin ingestion (pre-ASA) and 2 to 30 hours after ingestion of 325 mg aspirin (post-ASA). The reference range for pre-ASA samples is 399-780 ARU (based on a 2.5 to 97.5 percentile).
Image /page/2/Figure/5 description: The image is a bar graph titled "RPFA-ASA Frequency Distribution Pre- and Post-ASA". The x-axis is labeled "RPFA-ASA ARU" and ranges from 300 to "More" in increments of 50. The y-axis is labeled "Frequency" and ranges from 0 to 40 in increments of 5. The graph compares the frequency distribution of "Pre-ASA" and "Post-ASA" values, with a "Threshold" indicated at approximately 550 ARU.
