AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) summary (K040092) for the Ameditech ImmuTest Drug Screen Panel does not contain detailed information about the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them. This document is primarily the FDA's letter of substantial equivalence and the Indications For Use statement.

Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted directly from the given text. However, based on the nature of a 510(k) submission for an in vitro diagnostic device, we can infer some general aspects and fill in what is available within the provided pages.

General Understanding of 510(k) Studies for IVDs:
For in vitro diagnostic devices like drug screens, performance studies typically involve testing known positive and negative samples, as well as samples with drug concentrations around the specified cutoff to determine sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The "acceptance criteria" would generally be predefined thresholds for these performance metrics. "Ground truth" for IVDs is usually established by a highly accurate reference method (e.g., GC/MS for drug screening).

Information Available from the Provided Text:

  • Device Name: Ameditech ImmuTest Drug Screen Panel
  • Intended Use: Qualitative detection of amphetamine, cocaine metabolite (benzoylecgonine), methamphetamine, opiates, phencyclidine, and THC in human urine.
  • Cutoff Concentrations:
    • Amphetamine: 1000 ng/ml
    • Cocaine metabolite: 300 ng/ml
    • Methamphetamine: 500 ng/ml
    • Opiates: 2000 ng/ml
    • Phencyclidine: 25 ng/ml
    • THC: 50 ng/ml

Based on the provided text, here is an attempt to answer the questions, with significant limitations due to lack of the actual study report:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in the provided documents. For a qualitative drug screen, typical acceptance criteria would involve a certain percentage of agreement (e.g., >95% or >98%) with a reference method for both positive and negative samples, and high accuracy around the cutoff concentrations.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not explicitly stated in the provided documents. The letter only states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, implying its performance met the requirements set by the FDA for such devices.
AnalyteCutoff ConcentrationAcceptance Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (Not in document)
Amphetamine1000 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)
Cocaine Metabolite300 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)
Methamphetamine500 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)
Opiates2000 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)
Phencyclidine25 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)
THC50 ng/mle.g., >95% agreement with GC/MS(performance data not provided)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size (Test Set): Not stated in the provided documents.
  • Data Provenance: Not stated in the provided documents. Typically, for IVDs, this would involve clinical samples collected from hospitals, clinics, or drug testing facilities. Most likely, a prospective collection or a defined retrospective bank of samples would be used.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable in the typical sense for IVD drug screens.
  • Qualifications of Experts: The ground truth for drug screen tests is typically established by an independent, highly accurate reference method, such as Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS), performed by qualified laboratory personnel (e.g., clinical chemists, toxicologists). It does not usually involve expert "readers" in the way imaging studies do.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable for IVD drug screens in the context of expert review. The "adjudication" is essentially the comparison of the device's qualitative result (positive/negative) to the quantitative result of the reference method around the cutoff, confirmed by expert interpretation of the reference method data.

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

  • MRMC Study: Not applicable. This device is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for drug detection, and the evaluation does not involve human readers interpreting images or complex data, nor does it typically involve AI assistance in the interpretation of the physical test device. The device provides a visual result (e.g., lines appearing).

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

  • Standalone Performance: For this type of device, the "standalone performance" is the performance of the immunoassay itself, without human interpretation error. Since it's a visual read, human-in-the-loop is inherent for interpreting the lines, but the primary performance evaluation focuses on the chemical accuracy of the assay. The data provided does not specify how read-out variability was assessed, if at all.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Type of Ground Truth: Likely an objective, highly accurate reference method such as Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS). These methods provide quantitative results, allowing for precise determination if a sample is above or below the specified cutoff concentration.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Sample Size (Training Set): Not stated in the provided documents. For simple immunoassays, a "training set" in the machine learning sense is not typically used for algorithm development; rather, assay parameters are optimized during R&D using a set of characterized samples.

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

  • Ground Truth (Training Set): Not detailed in the provided documents. If a "training set" was used for assay optimization, its ground truth would have been established by similar reference methods (e.g., GC/MS, LC/MS) as the test set, ensuring that the samples used for development accurately reflected known drug concentrations.

Summary of Limitations:
The provided document is a regulatory approval letter and an "Indications for Use" statement, not the detailed study report. Therefore, specific performance data, acceptance criteria, sample sizes, and detailed methodology of the validation study are not included in these pages. Such information would typically be found in the full 510(k) submission, which is not publicly available in this level of detail.
