Intended Use

The AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer is a multipurpose system for in vitro coagulation studies consisting of one automated instrument and its associated reagents and controls. The system is used to perform a series of coagulation studies and coagulation factor assays.

Device Description

The AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer is an automated random access multipurpose analyzer. The AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer can be used for the detection of fibrin formation utilizing either mechanical principles (ball method) or photo-optical principles to perform clot based tests such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, factor assays, and other clotting tests. In addition, the AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer can be used for chromogenic assays such as antithrombin III (AT III) and for microparticle agglutination assays such as d-dimer.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (AMAX 190™ Coagulation Analyzer) through performance comparisons, specifically regression statistics and precision studies. Since this is a submission for an in-vitro diagnostic device (an analyzer), the typical acceptance criteria and study designs for imaging AI/ML devices (which involve human readers, ground truth establishment by experts, etc.) are not directly applicable.

However, I will extract relevant information and reframe it to align with the spirit of your request to the best of my ability, highlighting what "acceptance criteria" and "study" mean in this context.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For this in-vitro diagnostic device, "acceptance criteria" are implicitly defined by the demonstration of "substantial equivalence" to the predicate device, the AMAX 190™ Coagulation Analyzer. The performance metrics are regression statistics (correlation coefficient 'r' indicating linearity/agreement, and the regression equation 'y = mx + b' indicating bias and slope) and precision (within-run and total coefficients of variation).

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each comparison study. The document mentions "comparison studies of assays" and "precision studies," implying that multiple samples were tested for each assay. However, the exact number of patient samples, replicates, or data points used to generate the regression statistics and CVs is not provided in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in the document. It does not mention the country of origin of the data, nor whether the data was retrospective or prospective.

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

  • This information is not applicable to this type of device submission. For in-vitro diagnostic analyzers, "ground truth" for performance studies (like correlation and precision) is established by comparing the new device's results against a legally marketed predicate device (the AMAX 190™ Coagulation Analyzer) or by measuring variability using standardized control materials or patient samples. There are no human "experts" establishing image-based ground truth in the way described for AI/ML imaging devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. The "adjudication method" (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is relevant for studies involving human interpretation and consensus for ground truth, typically in imaging or clinical evaluation. For an in-vitro diagnostic analyzer, results are quantitative measurements, and "adjudication" in this sense does not occur. The comparison is statistical between two instruments.

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. MRMC studies are used for evaluating diagnostic performance of AI-assisted human readers, typically in imaging. This document describes an automated coagulation analyzer, which does not involve human readers interpreting images assisted by AI. It's a standalone instrument.

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

  • Yes, this study represents a standalone performance evaluation for an automated instrument. The AMAX Destiny™ Coagulation Analyzer itself is the "algorithm only" device in this context (though it's a physical instrument, not just software). Its performance is evaluated independently by comparing its results directly with a predicate device and by assessing its precision. There is no human-in-the-loop for the device's operational output.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • For this device, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is implicitly the performance of the predicate device, the AMAX 190™ Coagulation Analyzer. In comparison studies, the predicate device serves as the reference against which the new device's performance is measured to demonstrate substantial equivalence. For precision studies, it's the expected variability around the measured values of control materials or patient samples. It's not "expert consensus," "pathology," or "outcomes data" in the typical sense for AI/ML imaging.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm that is "trained" on data. It is a traditional automated laboratory instrument. Therefore, there is no "training set."

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
