Intended Use

The Elecsys PTH Immunoassay is for the in vitro quantitative determination of intact parathyroid hormone in human serum and plasma as an aid in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia and can be used intraoperatively. The Elecsys PTH STAT Immunoassay is for the in vitro quantitative determination of intact parathyroid hormone in human serum and plasma for the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia and can be used intraoperatively. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on the indicated Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers.

Device Description

The Elecsys PTH and Elecsys PTH STAT Assays are two step sandwich immunoassay with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection. Results are determined using a calibration curve that is generated specifically on each instrument by a 2 point calibration and a master curve provided with the reagent bar code.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text details a 510(k) summary for the "Elecsys PTH Immunoassay" and "Elecsys PTH STAT Immunoassay" devices, seeking to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Elecsys PTH Assay, K992680). The information mainly focuses on comparing the features and performance of the modified devices against the predicate, particularly in terms of assay duration, platforms, and analytical performance characteristics like precision.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a go/no-go format for external validation. Instead, it presents a comparison of the modified devices' performance characteristics against those of the predicate device (Elecsys PTH Assay, K992680), implying that performance similar to or improved over the predicate is acceptable. The detailed aspects compared are:

Study Details:

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices. IVD submissions of this nature primarily rely on analytical performance studies to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than the types of clinical or comparative effectiveness studies often associated with diagnostic imaging AI.

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

The document provides specific data points for precision studies, which serve as the "test set" for this type of analytical device. However, the exact total sample size (number of individual patient samples) for these precision studies is not explicitly stated. Instead, it reports Coefficient of Variation (CV) values at different mean PTH concentrations, which are typically derived from replicate measurements of control materials or pooled patient samples over several runs.

The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified in the provided text. For IVD devices, such studies are typically performed in a controlled laboratory setting.

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

This is not applicable to the type of device and study described. For an immunoassay, the "ground truth" for analytical performance studies is typically established by physical measurements and reference materials with known concentrations, or by comparison to a well-established reference method, not by expert consensus or interpretations in the way it applies to diagnostic imaging.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. As described above, the "test set" here refers to analytical performance data, not a set of cases requiring adjudication by human experts.

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 an IVD device for quantitative determination in serum/plasma, not a diagnostic imaging AI system that would involve human readers or MRMC studies.

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

The device itself is a standalone analytical instrument (immunoassay) that provides quantitative results. Its performance, as detailed in the precision data, is "algorithm only" in the sense that it mechanically measures and processes a sample to produce a numerical result without human interpretation of raw data for diagnosis. The output (PTH concentration) is then used by a clinician for diagnosis, but the measurement itself is automated.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

For this type of IVD, the "ground truth" for analytical performance tests would be established through a combination of:

  • Reference Materials/Standards: Samples with known, certified concentrations of PTH.
  • Comparison to a Validated Reference Method: The document states the methods were "standardized against a commercial PTH test (RIA)," implying that the RIA assay serves as a reference for establishing accuracy and traceability.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This concept of a "training set" is not directly applicable in the context of an immunoassay like the Elecsys PTH. These devices are based on established biochemical principles (sandwich immunoassay, electrochemiluminescence) and calibrated using reference materials. There isn't a "machine learning algorithm" in the typical sense that requires a large dataset for training. The instrument's internal "algorithm" refers to its pre-programmed measurement and calculation logic, which is developed based on the assay's chemical characteristics and repeatedly verified with controls and calibrators.

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

As explained above, there isn't a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The "ground truth" relevant to the device's operational parameters and calibration would be established through:

  • Calibrator materials: These are supplied with known values. The "calibration curve" is generated by the instrument using these calibrators and a master curve provided with the reagent bar code. These calibrator values are derived from rigorously tested and traceable reference materials.
  • Quality control materials: Used to continually verify the accuracy and precision of the instrument.

Re: K070709

Trade/Device Name: Elecsys PTH Immunoassay and Elecsys PTH STAT Immunoassay Regulation Number: 21 CFR $862.1545 Regulation Name: Parathyroid hormone test system. Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: CEW Dated: June 18, 2007 Received: June 20, 2007

Dear Ms. Taylor:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.

§ 862.1545 Parathyroid hormone test system.

(a)
Identification. A parathyroid hormone test system is a device intended to measure the levels of parathyroid hormone in serum and plasma. Measurements of parathyroid hormone levels are used in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia (abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood) and hypocalcemia (abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood) resulting from disorders of calcium metabolism.(b)
Classification. Class II.
