Intended Use

The Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent, the Vitalab Calibrator and the Vitalab Selectra Analyzer are intended for use as a system for the quantitative determination of triglycerides in serum and plasma. Triglycerides results may be used for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver diseases involving lipid metabolism, various endocrine disorders, or for assessing of the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Device Description

The Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent, the Vitalab Calibrator and the Vitalab Selectra Analyzer are used as a system for the quantitative analysis of triglycerides in serum and plasma. The Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent determines triglycerides using the lipase/GPO enzymatic assay procedure coupled to a Trinder indicator reaction. The resulting increase in absorbance at 505 nm is proportional to the triglycerides concentration of the sample.

(Note: The "Acceptance Criteria (Implied)" column contains interpretations of what would generally be considered acceptable performance for such a device in comparison to a predicate, as explicit criteria are not always stated but inferred from the study design and conclusion of substantial equivalence.)


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

  • Linearity/Recovery: n = 44 (This sample size likely refers to dilution factors or individual measurements across the range). Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but likely laboratory-prepared standards or spiked samples.
  • Precision:
    • Serum 1: 60 replicates
    • Serum 2: 60 replicates
    • Serum 3: 60 replicates
      Provenance: Commercially available control serum.
  • Method Comparison:
    • Serum samples: 59 specimens
    • Heparinized plasma samples: 60 specimens
      Provenance: Collected from adult patients. Country of origin not specified, but the submission is to the FDA, implying studies likely conducted in the US or internationally to US standards. Retrospective or prospective design is not explicitly stated, but the description "were collected from adult patients and were assayed for triglycerides" often implies a prospective or at least recently collected set of samples for the purpose of the study.
  • Minimum Detection Limit: 30 replicate measurements of normal saline. Provenance: Laboratory materials.
  • Onboard Reagent Stability & Calibration Stability: Not explicitly stated beyond "serum controls."
  • Reconstituted Calibrator Stability: Not explicitly stated beyond "calibrators of increasing ages."

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

  • This device is a quantitative clinical chemistry assay. The "ground truth" for such assays is typically established by reference methods or comparison to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than expert consensus on individual cases.
  • In this case, the "ground truth" for the method comparison study was the results from "another commercially available method," which served as the reference standard for comparison. The predicate device, the Beckman Trighycerides Reagent Kit and Synchron Multi-Calibrator, also serves as a benchmark for substantial equivalence.
  • Therefore, traditional "experts" like radiologists establishing ground truth for images are not applicable here. The "expertise" lies in the validated performance of the reference method and the established accuracy of commercially available control sera.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not applicable. This is a quantitative chemical assay, not a subjective interpretation task that would typically involve adjudication by multiple experts. The comparison is statistical (Deming regression) between the new device and a reference method.

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. This is a standalone in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for quantitative measurement of triglycerides, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers interpreting results. Therefore, no MRMC study with human readers was conducted, and the concept of "improvement with AI vs without AI" does not apply.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

  • Yes, this entire submission describes standalone performance studies for the Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent and Calibrator on the Vitalab Selectra Analyzer. The performance metrics (linearity, precision, method comparison, detection limit, stability) are all intrinsic to the device system itself, operating without direct human interpretive input influencing the quantitative result. The device outputs a numerical value for triglyceride concentration.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Reference Method Comparison: For the method comparison studies, the "ground truth" was established by analyzing patient samples with "another commercially available method" (presumably a validated and accepted diagnostic method for triglycerides).
  • Known Concentrations/Standards: For linearity and detection limit, the ground truth was based on known concentrations of standards or normal saline (effectively 0 mg/dL).
  • Certified Control Sera: For precision and stability studies, commercially available control serum with established target values was used.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • This submission describes performance validation studies for an IVD reagent and calibrator. It does not mention any "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithms. The assay procedure is based on a well-established lipase/GPO enzymatic reaction coupled to a Trinder indicator, not a statistical model that requires a training set.

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for an AI/machine learning algorithm.

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 Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent, the Vitalab Calibrator and the Vitalab Selectra Analyzer are used as a system for the quantitative analysis of triglycerides in serum and plasma. Triglycerides results may be used for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction and other diseases involving lipid metabolism, various of patents will unders, or for assessing of the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent determines triglycerides using the lipase/GPO enzymatic assay procedure coupled to a Trinder indicator reaction. The resulting increase in absorbance at 505 nm is proportional to the triglycerides concentration of the sample.

The Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent Kit and Vitalab Serum Calibrator are substantially equivalent to the Beckman Trighycerides Reagent Kit, product no. 445850 and the Synchron Multi-Calibrator, product no. 442600, which are marketed by Beckman Coulter, Inc. of Brea, CA.

The effectiveness of Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent on the Vitalab Selectra is shown in the following studies.

The recovery of triglycerides using the Vitalab Triglycerides Reagent is linear from 5 to at least 900 mg/dL, as shown by the The recovery of the span from 0 mg/dL to 930 mg/dL triglycerides. Regression statistics, which are forced through the origin, compare standard recoveries to dilution factors. These statistics are shown below.

sy.x = 3.7 mg/dL, (Vitalab Recoveries) = 1.164 x (Dilution Factor), n = 44

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.

The claimed detection limit is documented through the repetitive assay of normal saline. The mean and standard deviation of a 30 replicate within run precision study are both 0 mg/dL. The minimum detection limit, calculated as the mean plus two a so replations of the recovery values, is rounded up to 1 mg/dL, which is the round-off error of the assay.

The 14 day onboard reagent stability and 7 day calibration stability claims are documented through the assay of serum controls over the claimed periods. In all cases, the total imprecision of triglycerides recoveries over the test periods are less than 2 mg/dL.
