Intended Use

The measurement of cortisol in human serum, plasma (heparin or EDTA) or urine aids in the assessment of adrenal status.

Device Description

The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System uses luminescence as the signal in the quantitative and semi-quantitative determination of selected analytes in human body fluids, commonly serum and plasma. Coated microwells are used as the solid phase separation system. The system is comprised of there main elements: The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products range of immunoassay products in this case VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Cortisol Reagent Pack, VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Cortisol Calibrators (cleared under K983990) and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Metabolism Controls (cleared under K983990), which are combined by the VITROS Immunodiagnostic System to perform the VITROS Cortisol assay. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System - instrumentation, which provides automated use of the immunoassay kits. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic System was cleared for market by a separate 510(k) pre-market notification (K962919). Common reagents used by the VITROS System in each assay. The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Signal Reagent and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Universal Wash Reagent were cleared as part of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total T3 Reagent Pack and VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Total T3 Calibrators 510(k) premarket notification (K964310).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Cortisol Assay. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study with detailed performance metrics.

Therefore, the following information cannot be fully extracted or is not explicitly stated in the document:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document only provides a comparison of device characteristics between the new and predicate devices (Table 1) and a general statement of "equivalent performance." It does not list specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy targets) or detailed performance data against those criteria.
  • Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: The document states that "testing human samples throughout the assay range" was done, but does not provide specific sample sizes for test sets, data provenance (e.g., country of origin), or whether the study was retrospective or prospective.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: This information is not provided.
  • Adjudication method for the test set: Not provided.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: This is an in vitro diagnostic device, not an image-based AI system that would involve human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not applicable or mentioned.
  • If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The device is an immunoassay system, not an algorithm in the context of AI. Its performance is inherent in its design and operation.
  • The type of ground truth used: The document mentions "manufactured reagents, positive and negative controls and testing human samples." For an immunoassay, the 'ground truth' would typically be established by reference methods or validated clinical diagnoses/outcomes, but this is not explicitly detailed.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable in the context of an immunoassay for which no separate "training set" is described for an algorithm.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Here's what can be extracted based on the provided text, focusing on the comparison to the predicate device and the general statement of performance:

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

The document does not explicitly define acceptance criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, bias thresholds). Instead, "equivalent performance" to the predicate device is the overarching acceptance criterion for the 510(k) submission.

Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:

The study described is a comparison study demonstrating substantial equivalence of the modified VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Cortisol Assay to the previously cleared predicate device (K983990). The conclusion states: "Equivalent performance was demonstrated using manufactured reagents, positive and negative controls and testing human samples throughout the assay range."

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document only mentions "testing human samples throughout the assay range."
  • Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin not mentioned).
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Not specified.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable as this is not an image-based diagnostic or expert interpretation study. The 'ground truth' for an immunoassay's performance would typically refer to the true concentration of cortisol in samples, usually determined by reference methods or clinical gold standards. The document does not detail how this ground truth was established for the "human samples."

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

  • Not applicable for this type of immunoassay study.

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

  • No. This is an in vitro diagnostic device, not an AI system.

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

  • The device itself is a standalone immunoassay system. The performance evaluated is the direct output of the system. There is no concept of an "algorithm only" in the context of human-in-the-loop for this device.

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

  • The document implies that performance was assessed against "manufactured reagents, positive and negative controls and testing human samples." For human samples, the ground truth for cortisol levels would typically come from a well-established reference assay or a clinically validated method, but this is not explicitly detailed.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is an immunoassay, not a machine learning algorithm requiring a distinct "training set."

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

  • Not applicable.
