Intended Use

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen in serum, plasma and urine. Urea nitrogen results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.

Device Description

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent determines urea nitrogen through the enzymatic action of urease and glutamate delydrogenase. The resulting decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to the urea nitrogen concentration of the sample.

AI/ML Overview

This document focuses on the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit, an in-vitro diagnostic device designed for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen. The provided text describes the device's performance characteristics and how they demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as required for 510(k) clearance by the FDA.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

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

  • Linearity/Recovery: n = 50 (for regression statistics comparing standard values).
  • Precision:
    • Serum 1: n = 60
    • Serum 2: n = 60
    • Serum 3: n = 60
    • Urine 1: n = 60
    • Urine 2: n = 60
      (Precision studies used commercially available control serum and urine pools.)
  • Method Comparison (Serum/Plasma): n = 217.
  • Method Comparison (Urine): n = 92.
  • Detection Limit: 30 replicates of a diluted serum control.

Data Provenance: The document states that mixed serum, plasma, and diluted urine specimens were "collected from adult patients." It also mentions "commercially available control serum." The country of origin is not specified, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA, suggesting the data would comply with U.S. regulatory standards. The studies appear to be prospective as they were conducted to demonstrate the performance of the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit.

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

This type of in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device study does not typically involve "experts" establishing a ground truth in the way medical imaging or clinical diagnosis studies do. For IVDs, the "ground truth" is established through:

  • Reference materials: For linearity, known standard values are used.
  • Established analytical methods: For method comparison, a "competitive commercially available method" is used as a reference.
  • Control materials: For precision, commercially available control serum and urine pools with known target ranges are used.

Therefore, the concept of "number of experts" and their "qualifications" for establishing ground truth is not applicable here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As described above, the ground truth is based on reference standards, established methods, and control materials, not on human interpretation requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its effect size

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is an in-vitro diagnostic device, not an imaging or diagnostic device that relies on human interpretation of complex data. The study focuses on the analytical performance of the reagent kit itself.

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

Yes, the studies described are standalone performance evaluations of the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit on the ATAC 8000 Random Access Chemistry System. These are analytical performance studies of the device itself, without human intervention in the result determination process beyond standard laboratory operating procedures.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Linearity: Known standard values/concentrations.
  • Precision: Commercially available control serum and urine pools with established target ranges.
  • Method Comparison: Results from a "commercially available method" (i.e., another established and validated BUN assay). This serves as the comparative reference.
  • Detection Limit: Diluted serum control with a known low concentration.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models, as this is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent kit, not an AI-powered device. The studies described are performance validation studies.

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

As there is no explicit "training set" in the AI/machine learning sense, this question is not directly applicable. The performance characteristics are demonstrated using the previously described methods (reference materials, control materials, comparative methods).

SUMMARY OF 510(K) SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen in serum, plasma and urine. Urea nitrogen results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent determines urea nitrogen through the enzymatic action of urease and glutamate delydrogenase. The resulting decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to the urea nitrogen concentration of the sample.

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit is substantially equivalent to the HiChem BUN Reagent Kit, product no. 88806, which is marketed by Elan Diagnostics Inc. of Brea California.

The effectiveness of ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit on the ATAC 8000 Random Access Chemistry System is shown by the following studies.

The recovery of urea nitrogen using the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent is linear from 2 to 100 mg/dL, as shown by the recovery of linearity standards that span the usable range. Regression statistics, which compare standard values, are shown below.

(ATAC Recoveries) = 0.6 mg/dL + 0.9775 x (Standard Value), sy.x = 1.2 mg/dL, n = 50

Precision is demonstrated by the replicate assay of commercially available control serum. Precision statistics, calculated analogous to the method described in NCCLS Guideline EP3-T, are shown below.

Mixed serum, plasma and diluted urine specimens, collected from adult patients, were assaved for urea nitrogen using the ATAC 8000 Random Access Chemistry System and another commercially available method. Results were compared by least squares linear regression and the following statistics were obtained.

Serum/Plasma Comparison ATAC 8000 = 1.2 mg/dL + 0.977 x Competitive Reagent r = 0.996 n = 217 range = 5 - 100 mg/dL

The detection limit claim of 2 mg/dL is documented through the repetitive assay of a diluted serum control. The observed standard deviation of a 30 replicate within run precision study was 0 mg/dL. Consequently, the detection limit is reported as twice the round-off error of the assay.

The 14 day on board reagent stability and 14 day calibration stability claims are documented through the assay of serum controls and urine pools over the claimed periods. In all cases, the total imprecision of urea nitrogen recoveries over the test periods are less than 3 mg/dL or 3%.
