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

  • Linearity: The number of unique samples is not specified, but the study used "NIST-traceable commercial linearity standards." The data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is not explicitly stated.
  • Within Run Precision: Twenty replicates of three levels of commercial human-based QC material were tested. The provenance of the QC material is not specified, but it's "commercial human-based."
  • Total Imprecision: Duplicate measurements of each of three levels of QC material were tested twice a day for 20 days. This means 3 levels * 2 replicates/day * 20 days = 120 measurements per reagent. The provenance of the QC material is not specified.
  • Method Comparison: At least 40 samples for each analyte were tested. The data provenance is not specified.
  • Sample Carryover: 11 samples (L, M, H) in a predefined sequence, tested twice in a single day. The data provenance is not specified.
  • Interference Testing: The number of samples for each interfering substance is not explicitly stated, but it involved testing Hemoglobin, Bilirubin, Lipemia (Intralipid), Glucose, and Ascorbic Acid up to specified concentrations. The data provenance is not specified.

In general, the data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for these studies is not explicitly mentioned in the provided text.

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

This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent for quantitative measurement of analytes (Calcium and Cholesterol) in serum. The "ground truth" is established by reference methods, certified materials (like NIST-traceable standards), or comparison to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than human expert consensus on interpretations of images or complex clinical scenarios.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the studies are focused on analytical performance of a quantitative reagent, not on classifying or interpreting results where human adjudication would be necessary.

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

This information is not applicable. This is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation device.

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

This concept is not applicable to a chemical reagent. The device itself is the reagent used in an automated analyzer. The "standalone" performance refers to the analytical performance of the reagent on the EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer, which is precisely what the performance data describes (linearity, precision, interference, carryover). There is no "human-in-the-loop" aspect to the measurement itself; human operators are involved in running the analyzer and interpreting the quantitative results in a clinical context.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Linearity: NIST-traceable commercial linearity standards.
  • Precision (Within Run & Total): Commercial human-based QC material with known (or established) values.
  • Method Comparison: Analytical results obtained from the predicate device (Roche COBAS MIRA analyzer), which serves as the comparative "truth" for substantial equivalence.
  • Interference Testing: Known concentrations of interfering substances added to samples to assess their impact on the measurement.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. This device is a chemical reagent and does not use machine learning or AI that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. Its performance specifications are determined through analytical validation studies as detailed.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

Intended Use

Calcium

EasyRA Calcium Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of total calcium concentration in serum using the Medica EasyRA Chemistry Analyzer.

For in-vitro diagnostic use only. For Professional use only.

Cholesterol

The EasyRA Cholesterol Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of cholesterol in human serum on the Medica EasyRA Chemistry analyzer in clinical laboratories to screen for elevated cholesterol as a risk factor in coronary artery disease.

For in-vitro diagnostic use only. For Professional Use Only.

Methodology

Calcium

The EasyRA Calcium reagent utilizes Arsenazo III, which is very stable and has a high affinity for calcium at neutral pH. Interference from magnesium is eliminated by the addition of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid. Arsenazo III reacts with calcium to form a 1:1 blue complex with an absorption maximum at 650 nm. The concentration of calcium is proportional to the intensity of the blue color

Cholesterol

The EasyRA Cholesterol reagent uses the enzymatic Trinder endpoint reaction, which is based on the work of Allain et al. In this method, cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to cholesterol and fatty acids. Cholesterol is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to delta 4cholestenone with the simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes phenol and 4aminoantipyrine to give a quinoneimine dye colored red. The absorbance of the resulting quinoneimine dye is measured at 520 nm with 600 nm as a blanking wavelength. The intensity of the color produced is proportional to the concentration of cholesterol in the sample.
