The unique feature of the Duet™ System allows the combined presentation of morphological and specific staining information of the same cell, for all the cells of the sample.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The core acceptance criteria for the Duet™ System's expanded indication for HER-2/neu gene amplification detection in breast cancer tissue specimens via FISH appears to be demonstrating high agreement with manual scoring methods. This is quantified through metrics like Negative Predictive Accuracy (NPA), Positive Predictive Accuracy (PPA), Overall Percentage Agreement, and Kappa coefficient.

The following table summarizes the reported performance for the device against these implied acceptance criteria, based on the analysis of all methods comparison studies (Studies 1 and 4 combined):

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (3 FOVs Analysis, Pooled-studies Results)
Negative Predictive Accuracy (NPA)High agreement, ideally near 100%100% (95% Lower confidence limit: 93%, 95% Upper confidence limit: 100%)
Positive Predictive Accuracy (PPA)High agreement, ideally near 100%96% (95% Lower confidence limit: 77%, 95% Upper confidence limit: 100%)
Overall Percentage AgreementHigh agreement, ideally near 100%99% (95% Lower confidence limit: 92%, 95% Upper confidence limit: 100%)
Kappa CoefficientHigh agreement, ideally near 100%97% (95% Lower confidence limit: 90%, 95% Upper confidence limit: 100%)

Additional Implied Acceptance Criteria and Performance:

  • Reproducibility and Repeatability: High repeatability coefficients of variation (CV) for within-run, day-to-day, and site-to-site analyses. The reported CV values were generally low (0.56% to 12.90%), with one exception of 31.92% for a highly amplified sample where accurate spot counting was inherently difficult.
  • Optimal Number of Fields of View (FOVs): Demonstration that a minimal number of FOVs (e.g., 3) provides sufficient accuracy. The study concluded that 3 FOVs are sufficient, with a correlation of 0.996 and an R-squared of 0.993 between 3 and 6 FOV analyses.

Study Details

The study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria is a performance evaluation study that comprises four sub-studies:

  1. Methods Comparison (Study 1): Compares the Duet™ System to manual scoring.
  2. Precision/Reproducibility Performance (Study 2): Evaluates repeatability and reproducibility.
  3. The Optimal Number of Fields of View (Study 3): Determines the optimal FOV count.
  4. Methods Comparison at the Borderline Range (Study 4): Focuses on performance in challenging cases.

Detailed information for each requested point is provided below:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Study 1 (Methods Comparison): A total of 56 specimen slides were used. These were prepared from human breast cancer tissue specimens in various stages of the disease, representing the entire intended use population. The data provenance is implied to be retrospective as the slides were "prepared from human breast cancer tissue specimens." The country of origin is not explicitly stated.
  • Study 2 (Precision/Reproducibility): Five (5) slides were used, representing the range of intended use (two negative controls, two mid-low amplified controls, one highly amplified slide).
  • Study 4 (Methods Comparison at the Borderline Range): A total of 21 human breast cancer tissue specimen slides were used. This included the seven (7) borderline samples from Study-1 and an additional fourteen (14) new borderline samples collected from an "additional site." This suggests retrospective data, and the country of origin is not explicitly stated.

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

  • The text frequently refers to the "manual scoring method" as the comparator, which served as the ground truth. However, it does not specify the number of experts who performed the manual scoring nor their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience"). It implicitly refers to "the trained lab technician operator" for clinical use, suggesting the manual scoring was done by qualified laboratory personnel.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) for resolving discrepancies between manual readings or between manual and automated readings. The "manual scoring method" is treated as the reference standard against which the Duet™ System is compared.

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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly described in terms of human readers improving with AI assistance. This study primarily focuses on the standalone performance of the Duet™ System compared to manual scoring. The device is intended to be an "adjunctive automated enumeration tool, in conjunction with manual visualization," implying it assists. However, the study design does not quantify the improvement of human readers when using the AI compared to when they don't. It assesses the agreement between the AI system and manual reading.

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

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The "Methods Comparison" studies (Study 1 and Study 4) directly compare the Duet™ System's results (algorithm only, as it performs automated scanning and image analysis) with the manual scoring method. The reported NPA, PPA, Overall Agreement, and Kappa values reflect the Duet™ System's accuracy as a standalone enumeration tool for the specified task. The text states: "...the Duet™ System method for detection of amplification... in comparison to the manual scoring method." This indicates a standalone evaluation of the device's output.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • The ground truth used was expert consensus / manual scoring. The text consistently refers to the "manual scoring method" as the reference standard against which the Duet™ System's performance was evaluated. 'Amplification' and 'No-Amplification' were defined based on ratios from the Vysis® PathVysion™ Kit's package insert, which guides manual interpretation.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. The performance evaluation study focuses on the test set used to validate the already developed system after "minor software changes, including new algorithm for the automatic calculation of the overall amplification ratio of HER-2/neu gene, were made." It also states "All these changes were fully verified and validated through software verification and validation," implying a development and training phase occurred, but the details are not provided in this summary.

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

  • As the document does not specify the training set size, it also does not detail how the ground truth for the training set was established. However, given the nature of the application (HER-2/neu FISH analysis) and the reliance on "manual scoring method" as ground truth for the validation studies, it is highly probable that the training data's ground truth was also established through expert manual scoring and adherence to the Vysis® PathVysion™ Kit instructions.

5.15 Substantial Equivale

Intended Use

The intended use of the Duet™ System is expanded to include the detection and quantification of chromosome 17 and the HER-2/neu gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the Vysis® PathVysion™ HER-2 DNA Probe Kit (the PathVysion™ Kit). The Duet™ is to be used as an adjunctive automated enumeration tool, in conjunction with manual visualization, to assist in determining HER-2/neu gene to chromosome 17 signal ratio. Besides the additional indication, the Intended Use and Indication for Use statement of the Duet™ System were not changed.

Detection, classification and counting of HER-2/neu gene amplification via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit, are routinely performed manually at the specialized laboratories using conventional microscopes, according to the instructions provided with the approved kit. The claim of an automated aiding tool for the detection and enumeration of FISH signals is also claimed by the 510(k)-cleared automatic enumeration predicate devices, the Vysis® AutoVysion™ System, the Ariol® HER-2/neu FISH and the previously cleared Duet™ System. Both the Vysis AutoVysion™ System and the Ariol® HER-2/neu FISH, similar to the Duet™ System, are intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection, classification, and counting of cells of interest based on particular color, intensity, size, pattern, and shape. In particular, the specific indication of HER-2/neu gene amplification detection via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit, is common to the Duet™ System and to both these predicates.

The new intended use was supported by a comparative performance study demonstrating that the operation of the Duet™ System is safe and effective for this application in comparison to manual microscopy. This study, which is summarized below, further confirms that any minor differences between the manual and the automated Duet™ System do not raise any issue of safety or efficacy.

Technological Characteristics and Mode of Operation

The current Duet™ System is the same system as the 510(k)-cleared Duet™ System. No change was required to be incorporated to the system's hardware to support the new indication, and only minor software changes, including new algorithm for the automatic calculation of the overall amplification ratio of HER-2/neu gene, were made. All these changes were fully verified and validated through software verification and validation. The performance study described below

{4}------------------------------------------------

further confirms that any minor differences between the manual and the automated Duet™ System do not raise any issue of safety or efficacy.

5.16 Performance Characteristics of the Duet™ System:

A performance evaluation study was performed in order to evaluate the performance of the Duet™ System for the detection of amplification of the HER-2/neu gene via FISH in human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit, in terms of its accuracy in comparison to the manual system, and its reproducibility and repeatability.

The performance evaluation study report is comprised of the following four studies, which are summarized below:

Study 1 - Methods Comparison - a comparison of the Duet™ System method to manual scoring method.

Study 2 - Precision/Reproducibility Performance - an evaluation of the performance of the Duet™ System in terms of reproducibility and repeatability, within a system and across systems.

Study 3 - The Optimal Number of Fields of View - a determination of the optimal number of Fields of View required to be captured by the system for accurate sampling of the specimen.

Study 4 - Methods Comparison at the Borderline Range. A comparison of the Duet™ System method to manual scoring method at the borderline range.

5.16.1 Methods Comparison with Predicate Device

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the accuracy of the Duet™ System method for detection of amplification of the HER-2/neu gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit, in comparison to the manual scoring method.

The study was conducted in four (4) sites, which followed the same study protocol. A total of 56 specimen slides, prepared from human breast cancer tissue specimens in various stages of the disease, representing the entire intended use population, were probed by the PathVysion™ Kit according to the manufacturer instructions. Each slide was screened both manually and using the Duet™ system.

For the purpose of the agreement analysis between the manual and the Duet™ System, 'Amplification' scoring ("FISH positive") was defined as a ratio of ≥ 2.0 and 'No-Amplification' scoring (FISH negative'') was

{5}------------------------------------------------

d as a ratio of < 2.0. in accordance with the definit. thVysion™ Kit's package insert.

e statistical analysis performed for the pooled results included levels f agreement, positive predictive accuracy (PPA), negative predictive ccuracy (NPA) and Kappa coefficient (along with associated 95% confidence intervals). High correlation was found between the manual method and the results of the Duet™ System method, showing excellent accuracy in detecting normal and abnormal samples, as defined by the PathVysion™ Kit, as summarizes in the table below:

cant differences between the studies in the four (4) sites were nd rendering the pooled analysis valid.

addition, the linear regression and bias estimation performed cording to [NCCLS-EP9] further demonstrates the high level of reement between the Duet™ System and the manual method roughout the entire range of the intended use population.

rther analysis of the pooled results of Study-1 (randomly selected mples, representing the entire intended-use population) and the additional samples of Study-4 (pre-selected to represent the borderline of 1.5-2.5), "Analysis of all Methods Comparison Studies Results" is presented in Section 15.16.4 below.

2 Precision/Reproducibility Performance

e purpose of this study was to evaluate the precision of the Duet™ stem, for its performance with the PathVysion™ Kit, in terms of eproducibility and repeatability within a system and across systems nd sites. For this purpose, the Duet™ System was evaluated using the following three (3) studies:

  • Within Run: Each slide was analyzed three times in succession on the same system, within the same day
  • Day-to-Day: Each slide was analyzed three times, each time on a different day

{6}------------------------------------------------

  • e-to-Site: Each slide was analyzed three times, each time different site
    Five (5) slides, which represent the range of the intended use were cluded in this study: two (2) slides of the PathVysion™ Negative control (target ratio 1.0), two (2) slides of PathVysion™ Mid-low Amplified Control (target ratio 1.8, near the medical decision point), and e highly amplified slide (target ratio > 2.3). All slides were prepared according to the probe manufacturer's instructions.

The statistical analyses performed include estimating the average value, standard deviation and percent coefficient of variation (CV) for each slide separately for repeatability, lab reproducibility and day reproducibility.

Test results obtained for three (3) FOVs analysis demonstrated that CV values were usually low and ranged between 0.56 and 12.90 % for all cases. Only one exception was seen is laboratory reproducibility for one of the sample with a CV of 31.92%, resulted from very high amplification, which avoided accurate spot counting. Considering this objective problem of accuracy, good repeatability and reproducibility for the Duet™ System was demonstrated.

Therefore it can be concluded that the Duet™ System was proven to have high values of repeatability within run, between days and between sites, for three (3) FOVs analyses.

5.16.3 The Optimal Number of Fields of View

Method comparison studies and reproducibility and repeatability studies were conducted using both 3 and 6 FOVs to evaluate the optimal performance of the Duet System using a minimal number of FOVs. The correlation between results obtained from the Duet System 3 and 6 FOV analyses revealed a correlation of .996, with R-square = .993. In addition, the constant was near 0 (0.0084) and non-significant (t = 0.207, p = 0.836). Therefore, 3 FOV provides results that are sufficient for the effective performance of the Duet System.

5.16.4 Methods Comparison at the Borderline Range

The purpose of this study was to further demonstrate the accuracy of the Duet™ System method for detection of amplification of the HER-2/neu gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human oreast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit, in comparison to the manual scoring method, in the borderline range.

For this purpose, a total of 21 human breast cancer tissue specimen slides, representing a borderline range [1.5-2.5], were selected,

{7}------------------------------------------------

including the seven (7) borderline samples of this range from Study-1 and additional new fourteen (14) borderline samples collected from additional site.

A combined analysis of these results with the results of the seven (7) borderline samples from Study-1 was performed. All slides used for the analysis were human clinical specimens prepared from breast cancer tissues, probed by the PathVysion™ Kit according to the manufacturer instructions and which were found to be in the predefined borderline range [1.5-2.5].

For the purpose of the analysis of the agreement between the manual and the Duet™ System, the same criteria used in Study-1 (Method Comparison) were used. Thus, 'Amplification' scoring ("FISH positive") was defined as a ratio of ≥ 2.0 and 'No-Amplification' scoring ("FISH negative") was defined as a ratio of < 2.0, as defined in the PathVysion Kit's package insert.

The statistical analysis performed, summarized in the table below, included levels of agreement, positive predictive accuracy (PPA), negative predictive accuracy (NPA) and Kappa coefficient (along with associated 95% confidence intervals) demonstrates high correlation between the manual method and the results of the Duet™ System method at the borderline range, showing excellent accuracy in detecting normal and abnormal samples.

onclusions from the Performance Characteristics Study:

The comparison between the Duet™ System method and the Manual Microscopy Method demonstrated that the Duet™ system is effective and suitable for detection of amplification of the HER-2/new gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in human breast cancer tissue specimens, probed by the Vysis™ PathVysion™ HER-2 DNA Probe Kit. The system performs adequately and produces reliable results allowing he trained lab technician operator to reliably assess the specimens with the accuracy needed for clinical use.

In addition to this performance evaluation, the comprehensive testing program, which was developed and performed in order to verify that the current Duet™ System does not raise any new safety and effectiveness issues in comparison to its predicate devices, included the following main parts:

  • Software verification and validation testing, which was performed to evaluate the performance of the current version of the Duet™ System software and to verify that it performs according to its specifications.
  • Risk analysis activities were performed in compliance with the requirements of ISO 14971-1 "Application of risk management to medical devices" (2000). As concluded from the Risk Analysis procedure, the potential risks of the Duet™ System have been reduced to the pre-determined acceptance criteria. Therefore, it was concluded that the risk level of the Duet™ System is acceptable.

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

5.17 Conclusion:

BioView Ltd. believes that the Duet™ System is substantially equivalent to the combination of its predicate devices in terms of Intended Use, Indications for Use, technological characteristics and mode of operation. Any minor differences between the Duet™ System and its predicate devices do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues, based on the performance results and the analysis of similarities and differences presented above.
