Intended Use

This method is for the semi-quantitative determination of biotinidase, EC 3.5.1.12, activity in dried whole blood spots using a spectrophotometer. Measurement of biotinidase activity is primarily for the diagnosis and treatment of biotinidase deficiency in newborns. This method is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in screening for decreased levels of biotinidase activity and not for monitoring purposes.

Device Description

Biotinidase activity is determined by measuring the color that develops from p-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) after PABA is released from Biotinyl-p-Aminobenzoate (Biotin-PAB). Samples with biotinidase activity develop a purple color. Samples without biotinidase activity remain straw-colored. Patient samples of whole blood collected on standardized filter paper are eluted in a standard 96 well microplate. The plate is incubated with Biotin-PAB in a buffer at 37℃ for 240 minutes on a combination incubator/shaker. Following incubation, TCA is added to the sample mixture and the resulting precipitate is removed through filtration. The PABA in the filtrate is subsequently diazotized and coupled to a napthol derivative to form an azo dye by the successive addition of sodium nitrite, acidic ammonium sulfamate and finally, N-1-naphthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NED). The azo dye is measured colorimetrically at 550 nm on a commercial microplate absorbance reader with a reference measurement at 690 mm.

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 Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a formal "acceptance criteria" table with pre-defined thresholds for performance that the new device must meet. Instead, it compares the performance of the new device (SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit) against a legally marketed predicate device (K010844 Biotinidase Kit, 50-Hour) to demonstrate substantial equivalence, implying that performance comparable to the predicate device is the "acceptance criteria."

However, we can infer some criteria and report the device's performance based on the provided data:

Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from Predicate Performance or Standards)SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit Reported PerformanceNotes / Comparisons to Predicate

Punctuation for specific values in the table above can be found in the excerpt itself.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • Classification Study: 564 unclassified patient samples, 2 biotinidase deficient patient samples, and 10 deficient controls. Total of 576 samples.
    • Precision Study:
      • Within-Run & Total Precision (main): n = 80 for each activity level (Low, Moderate, Normal) for the Microplate Kit. n = 32 (Low), n = 44 (Moderate), n = 44 (Normal) for the Predicate Device.
      • Additional 5-day Low Activity Precision: n = 80 for the Microplate Kit.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Classification Study: The 2 deficient patient samples were "clinically-confirmed." The 10 deficient controls were "provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)." The 564 unclassified patient samples are not explicitly stated in terms of specific country of origin, but generally, patient samples for such studies imply a clinical setting.
    • Prospective/Retrospective: The text implies a retrospective analysis as samples "were treated according to the procedures detailed under SPEDMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS in the product insert," suggesting these were existing samples processed with the new kit.

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):

  • The document implies that the ground truth for the two "clinically-confirmed" deficient patient samples was established by clinical diagnosis, as they are referred to as "persons clinically-confirmed as such."
  • For the 10 deficient controls, the ground truth was "provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)," which suggests these are established and certified deficient samples.
  • The "experts" themselves and their specific qualifications are not detailed in the provided text. The predicate device's classification served as a comparative ground truth for other samples and for discrepancies.

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

  • The document mentions "Discrepant results ** were not confirmed by follow-up testing." This indicates that for samples where the new Microplate Kit and the Predicate Device yielded different classifications (e.g., Microplate Kit: Normal, Predicate Device: Partial Activity), no explicit expert adjudication or further follow-up gold standard testing was performed to resolve the discrepancy for the purpose of this study report. The discrepancy is simply noted. Therefore, an explicit adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) was not described or applied to resolve discrepancies for the reported results. The predicate device's classification was primarily used as a comparative benchmark, not an adjudicated ground truth in cases of disagreement.

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 done. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent kit that measures biotinidase activity, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging tool or a system involving human readers interpreting outputs. It's a chemical assay. The comparison is between the new kit and a predicate kit (both laboratory assays), not between humans with and without AI assistance.

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

  • Yes, the performance presented is standalone for the device (algorithm/assay only). The kit measures biotinidase activity using a spectrophotometer, which is an automated reading of a chemical reaction. The results described (linearity, sensitivity, precision, classification) are direct outputs of the assay kit itself without human interpretation influencing the measurable outcome, although trained laboratory personnel are required for manual steps (e.g., pipetting, filtration). The "human-in-the-loop" would be the technician performing the assay and reviewing the numerical results, but the performance metrics reported are for the assay's output itself.

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

  • Clinical Confirmation/Certified Controls and Predicate Device Comparison:
    • For deficient patient samples, "clinical confirmation" of biotinidase deficiency was the ground truth.
    • For deficient controls, the "Centers for Disease Control (CDC)" provided samples with established deficiency.
    • For the bulk of the samples (564 unclassified), the predicate device's classification served as the comparative benchmark. While not a "true" independent ground truth for every sample, it's used as the standard against which the new device's classifications are measured for substantial equivalence.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • The document does not explicitly mention a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. As a reagent kit for a chemical assay, it does not typically involve explicit "training data" in the AI sense. The development of such kits often involves extensive R&D and optimization, but this is usually not referred to as a "training set" in the same way an AI model would have one.

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

  • As a "training set" in the AI sense is not specified, the method for establishing its "ground truth" is also not applicable or described within the document. The development of the assay would rely on established biochemical principles and validation using known concentrations and clinical samples.

Summary of the Technological Characteristics of the Device 6.

DEVICE COMPARISON

The most significant difference between the SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit and the predicate device is the intended analyzer platform. The predicate device is used on a segmented-flow analyzer while the new reagent kit is for manual laboratory use only, applying simple bench chemistry techniques (e.g. pipetting) and utilizing a combination incubator/shaker and spectrophotometric microplate reader. The units used for the two assay kits are also different: microplate response units (MRU) for the new kit and enzyme response units (ERU) for the predicate device (1 MRU + 1 ERU).

Newborn patient blood spots are punched into microplate wells, eluted and incubated with the same substrate and buffer system as on the predicate device. Extraction and incubation occur concurrently, whereas on the predicate device, samples are first eluted, then vacuum filtered and subsequently incubated on the analyzer system. The predicate device utilizes automated dialysis to remove interferences. The SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit however, uses a reagent not included with the predicate device to precipitate matrix interferences which are subsequently removed through vacuum filtration. The same reagent formulation is used on both devices to generate the azo dye measured at 550 nm.

LINEARITY

Calibration standards are analyzed at the beginning of each assay using the SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Kit, as with the predicate device. The calibration utilizing PABA standards ranges from 0 to 200 MRU with a typical correlation coefficient of at least 0.999. Additionally, the assay was deemed linear after evaluation over the range of 5 to 213 MRU adhering to CLSI EP6-A: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline.

SENSITIVITY

The Limit of Blank (LoB) and Limit of Detection (LoD) for biotinidase activity are 2 and 3 MRU, respectively, determined using the guidelines in the CLSI EP17-A protocol. The total error is less than the LoD, and the CLSI document prescribes that the Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) is equal to the LoD. This correlates well with the sensitivity of the predicate device.

Summary, 510(k) No. K080294

DETERMINATION of CLINICAL CUTOFF

The recommendation for determining the clinical action cutoff for profound deficiency are the same for both devices: 37 and 10% of the mean patient result, respectively. As with the predicate device, each laboratory must determine its range of normal, partial and deficient levels of biotinidase activity, based on its population and analytical variables. All samples below the partial activity cutoff require follow-up screening according to local, state and federal laws.

CLASSIFICATION of DEFICIENT and UNCLASSIFIED PATIENT SAMPLES

The performance of the SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit was evaluated against the predicate device by analyzing unclassified (564) and biotinidase deficient (2) patient samples and (10) deficient controls provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). All deficient patient samples are from persons clinically-confirmed as such. Samples analyzed with the SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit were treated according to the procedures detailed under SPECMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS in the product insert.

PRECISION

To evaluate within-run and total precision (according to CLSI Document EPS-A2) for the new device, Astoria-Pacific's Quality Assurance Laboratory completed 2 analyses per day, of samples in duplicate, for 20 days. An additional low-activity precision study was performed over 5-days only on the Microplate Kit. A summary of the data is shown below compared to the historical performance evaluation of the predicate device. The predicate device evaluation utilized data from 2 runs per day for 8 days (deficient) to 11 days (normal and near deficient) according to NCCLS Document EPS-T.

7. Determination of Substantial Equivalency

Based on performance characteristics and comparison data, we believe this device to be safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to the legally-marketed predicate device. The indications for use are for the SPOTCHECK Biotinidase Microplate Reagent Kit and the predicate device. Technological characteristics are very similar to the predicate device and there is sufficient evidence demonstrating that the differences do not significantly affect safety and effectiveness when analyzing clinical patients.
