Intended Use

The CRP (Latex) High Sensitive Immmunoturbidimetric assay is for the in vitro quantitative determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) in human serum and plasma on Roche automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Measurement of CRP is of use for the detection and evaluation of inflammatory disorders and associated diseases, infection and tissue injury. Highly sensitive measurement of CRP may also be used as an aid in the assessment of the risk of future coronary heart disease. When used as an adjunct to other laboratory evaluation methods of acute coronary syndromes, it may also be an additional independent indicator of recurrent event prognosis in patients with stable coronary disease or acute coronary syndrome.

Device Description

The CRP (latex) HS Test System is a latex particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric test for the quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein in human serum or plasma. Human CRP agglutinates with latex particles coated with monoclonal anti-CRP antibodies. The precipitate is determined turbidimetrically. The calibrator is the Calibrator for automated systems (C.f.a.s). Proteins; and the recommended control materials are CRP T Control N and Precinorm Protein.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the C-Reactive Protein (Latex) High Sensitive Test System, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The 510(k) summary presents a comparison study to predicate devices rather than explicit acceptance criteria with pre-defined thresholds. The device aims to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to the predicate devices. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are implied to be performance characteristics that are comparable to or better than the predicate devices.

Method Comparison(Predicate vs. Predicate)(Predicate vs. Predicate)y = Integra CRP (Latex) hs vs. x = Tina-Quant® CRP (latex) hs. Passing-Bablok results: y=1.0548x + 0.0424. T = 0.956; r = 0.996.Strong correlation and close agreement with predicate device (Tina-Quant®).

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The study conducted is a method comparison study with a focus on analytical validation experiments.

  • Description of Study: The submission states that "analytical validation experiments were performed in order to establish the performance characteristics" and that "method comparison was performed between this method and the predicate device." The primary predicate for comparison was the Roche Tina-quant® CRP (latex) HS Test System (K042485) and for cardiac risk assessment, the Dade Behring N High Sensitivity CRP (K033908).

  • Key Findings: The new device (CRP (Latex) HS for COBAS Integra instruments) demonstrated:

    • Substantially equivalent intended use, assay principle, reagent composition, sample type, and traceability/standardization to the Tina-Quant® predicate device.
    • Comparable or improved performance characteristics in terms of measuring range, lower detection limit, precision (within-run and between-run), and non-interference levels compared to the predicate devices.
    • A strong correlation in a method comparison against the Tina-Quant® CRP (latex) HS predicate, with Passing-Bablok results showing y = 1.0548x + 0.0424, T = 0.956, and r = 0.996. This indicates excellent agreement and substantial equivalence.

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: The exact number of individual patient samples used in the method comparison and analytical validation studies is not explicitly stated in the provided summary. However, for precision studies, control materials and human serum samples were used.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It is implied to be laboratory-based analytical validation data.

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

  • The ground truth for this type of in vitro diagnostic device (quantitative measurement of C-reactive protein) is established by the measured values from the predicate device(s) or recognized reference materials/methods, not through expert visual interpretation. Therefore, a specific number of experts for ground truth establishment is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The comparison is against established commercial assays.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. As the ground truth is based on quantitative measurements from predicate devices/reference methods, an adjudication method for reconciling expert opinions is not relevant.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

  • No. This is an in-vitro diagnostic device for quantitative measurement, not an imaging device or a diagnostic aid requiring human interpretation of cases. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant or performed.

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

  • Yes, implicitly. The device is a fully automated test system (immunoturbidimetric assay on automated clinical chemistry analyzers). Its performance characteristics (precision, measuring range, detection limit, interference) and method comparison results are indicative of its standalone performance without human intervention in the measurement process itself. Human involvement is limited to sample loading, result interpretation in a clinical context, and maintenance, not in the determination of the CRP value by the device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth is established by quantitative measurements obtained from legally marketed predicate devices (Roche Tina-quant® CRP (latex) HS (K042485) and Dade Behring N High Sensitivity CRP (K033908)), which are themselves standardized to international reference preparation CRM 470 (RPPHS 91/0619).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document describes a 510(k) submission for a new device, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing predicate devices. It does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning. For an IVD like this, development typically involves internal analytical studies, not a "training set" in the AI sense.

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

  • Not applicable. As noted above, the concept of a "training set" for AI models is not directly relevant to this type of IVD device submission, which relies on analytical performance validation against established methods and standards.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

{9}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 -

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

§ 866.5270 C-reactive protein immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A C-reactive protein immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the C-reactive protein in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of C-reactive protein aids in evaluation of the amount of injury to body tissues.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
