Intended Use

The ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) for the quantitative determination of sirolimus in human whole blood on the ARCHITECT i System. The ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay is to be used as an aid in the management of renal transplant patients receiving sirolimus therapy.

The ARCHITECT Sirolimus Calibrators are for the calibration of the ARCHITECT i System when used for the quantitative determination of sirolimus in human whole blood.

The ARCHITECT Sirolimus Whole Blood Precipitation Reagent is for the extraction of sirolimus from samples (human whole blood patient specimens, controls, and ARCHITECT Sirolimus Calibrators) to be tested on the ARCHITECT i System.

Device Description

The ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay is a delayed one-step immunoassay for the quantitative determination of sirolimus in human whole blood using CMIA technology with flexible assay protocols, referred to as Chemiflex.

Prior to the initiation of the automated ARCHITECT sequence, a manual pretreatment step is performed in which the whole blood sample is extracted with a precipitation reagent, heated, and centrifuged. The supernatant is decanted into a Transplant Pretreatment Tube, which is placedonto the ARCHITECT i System.

Sample, assay diluent, and anti-sirolimus coated paramagnetic microparticles are combined to create a reaction mixture. Sirolimus present in the sample binds to the anti-sirolimus coated microparticles. After a delay, sirolimus acridinium-labeled conjugate is added to the reaction mixture. The sirolimus acridinium-labeled conjucate competes for the available binding sites on the anti-sirolimus coated paramagnetic microparticles. Following an incubation, the microparticles are washed, and pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs),

An indirect relationship exists between the amount of sirolimus in the RLUs detected by the ARCHITECT i System optics.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the ARCHITECT Sirolimus Assay and its performance characteristics, primarily focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ABBOTT IMx® Sirolimus Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay) and LC/MS/MS as a reference method.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in a dedicated section with pre-defined thresholds. Instead, it presents the results of equivalence studies against a predicate device and a reference method, implying that the observed performance was deemed acceptable for demonstrating substantial equivalence. For performance characteristics like precision, linearity, and sensitivity, the results are presented, and implicit acceptance is given by stating the achieved values (e.g., "less than or equal to 10%").

Here's a table summarizing the reported device performance from the provided text:

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from context)Reported Device Performance (ARCHITECT Sirolimus Assay)
Equivalence to IMx Sirolimus (Predicate)Correlation/Agreement with predicateIntercept: 0.12 (-0.38 to 0.47) Slope: 1.05 (1.00 to 1.11) Correlation Coefficient: 0.94
Equivalence to LC/MS/MS (Reference Method)Correlation/Agreement with referenceIntercept: -0.37 (-0.89 to 0.12) Slope: 1.18 (1.11 to 1.27) Correlation Coefficient: 0.91
Precision (Total %CV)No explicit numerical criterion, but generally low %CV is desired.≤ 10%
Linearity (Mean % Recovery)No explicit numerical criterion, but generally close to 100% is desired.Within 10% of the expected result for diluted samples.
Functional SensitivityReportable range is 2-30 ng/mL. Lower functional sensitivity desired.0.7 ng/mL (at 20% CV, upper 95% CI)
Analytical Sensitivity (Limit of Detection)Reportable range is 2-30 ng/mL. Lower LOD desired.0.3 ng/mL (at 2 SD above Calibrator A)
Interference (Average Recovery)Generally, recovery close to 100% (e.g., 90-110%) is desired.95 to 106% (for various interfering compounds)
Specificity (Cross-Reactivity)Low cross-reactivity desired for related metabolites.F2: 8.7% F3: 7.6% F4: 36.8% F5: 20.3%

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

  • Sample Size for Equivalence Studies:
    • ARCHITECT Sirolimus vs. IMx Sirolimus: 168 observations (specimens).
    • ARCHITECT Sirolimus vs. LC/MS/MS: 167 observations (specimens).
  • Data Provenance: "human whole blood specimens from renal transplant patients receiving sirolimus therapy." The country of origin is not specified, but the context of an FDA 510(k) submission typically implies US-based or internationally accepted clinical study protocols. The data is retrospective in the sense that the patients were already receiving therapy and specimens were collected. It's not explicitly stated if it was a prospective collection for this specific study, but it's patient data.

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

This information is not provided in the document. For an immunoassay device like this, ground truth is typically established by comparing against a reference method (like LC/MS/MS) or a previously validated predicate device. Human expert interpretation of results is not usually the primary ground truth for quantitative laboratory assays.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies involving subjective human interpretation of images or clinical events, where multiple readers' assessments need to be reconciled to form a ground truth. For quantitative assays like the Sirolimus assay, the ground truth is based on the chemical measurement itself, often against a gold standard method.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study focuses on the impact of a device on human readers' performance (e.g., radiologists interpreting images using an AI tool). The ARCHITECT Sirolimus Assay is a standalone, quantitative in vitro diagnostic device, not one that assists human readers in making interpretations.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:

Yes, the studies presented are standalone performance studies. The ARCHITECT Sirolimus Assay, as an immunoassay, works as an "algorithm only" (the automated measurement process produces a quantitative result) without human input during the core measurement process. The results reported (equivalence, precision, linearity, sensitivity, interference, specificity) directly reflect the performance of the device itself.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Predicate Device Comparison: The ABBOTT IMx® Sirolimus Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (K042411) was used as a reference for comparison. While not a "ground truth" in the strictest sense, it's a legally marketed and accepted assay that served as a benchmark for substantial equivalence.
  • Reference Method Comparison: LC/MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry) was used as a more definitive "ground truth" or reference method for validating the assay's accuracy against a highly sensitive and specific analytical technique.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not provide specific information on the sample size used for the training set. Immunoassays are often developed and optimized using a variety of samples and reagents during the R&D phase, but a distinct "training set" in the machine learning sense is not typically explicitly defined or reported for this type of device in a 510(k) summary. The development process would involve iterative testing and refinement.

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

As the document doesn't detail a specific "training set" or its ground truth, this information is not provided. For immunoassay development, ground truth for initial optimization would similarly be based on established reference methods (like LC/MS/MS) or careful spiking/dilution experiments with known concentrations of the analyte.

Performance Characteristics

Precision:

A study was performed with the ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay based on guidance from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, document (CLSI, formerly NCCLS) Protocol EP5-A2. Abbott Immunosuppressent-MCC (levels 1, 2) and five whole blood panels were assayed, using two lots of reagents, on two instruments, in replicates of two at two separate times per day for 20 days. Each reagent lot used a single calibration curve throughout the study.

The total precision %CV of the ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay was determined to be less than or equal to 10%.

Linearity:

A dilution linearity study was performed by diluting high concentration sirolimus whole blood specimens with the ARCHITECT Sirolimus Calibrator A. The concentration of sirolimus was determined for each dilution of sample and the mean percent (%) recovery was calculated.

The ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay was determined to have a mean recovery within 10% of the expected result for diluted samples.

Functional Sensitivity:

Whole blood specimens were spiked with sirolimus to achieve approximate concentrations from 0.1 to 5.3 ng/mL and tested in replicates of 10, twice a day, for five days. At the upper 95% confidence limit, the lowest ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay value exhibiting a 20% CV was calculated to be 0.7 ng/mL, which is below the reportable range of the ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay.

Analytical Sensitivity:

The limit of detection for the ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay, defined as the concentration at two standard deviations above the ARCHITECT Sirolimus Calibrator A (0.0 ng/mL) was calculated to be 0.3 ng/mL, which is below the reportable range of the ARCHITECT Sirolimus assay at 95% confidence (based on one study with n=24 runs, 10 replicates calibrator A and 4 replicates calibrator B per run).

Interference:

Whole blood specimens were supplemented with various drugs and potentially interfering compounds (triglycerides, hematocrit, bilirubin, total protein, cholesterol, uric acid, HAMA, and rheumatoid factor [RF]). The average recovery observed during the study ranged from 95 to 106%.

Specificity:

Aliquots of whole blood specimens were augmented with sirolimus, targeting values ranging from 5 to 22 ng/mL. These five specimens were spiked with cross-reactant solution. Data from this study are summarized in the following table.
