Intended Use

The Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA is an immunoenzymatic sandwich microplate assay for the detection of Aspergillus galactomannan antigen in adult and pediatric serum and Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) fluid samples.

The Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA is a test which, when used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures such as microbiological culture, histological examination of biopsy samples and radiographic evidence, can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis.

Device Description

The Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA is a one-stage immunoenzymatic sandwich microplate assay which detects galactomannan in human serum and BAL fluid samples. The assay uses rat EBA-2 monoclonal antibodies, which are directed against Aspergillus galactomannan, and have been characterized in previous studies. The monoclonal antibodies are used, (1) to coat the wells of the microplate and bind the antigen, and (2) to detect the antigen bound to the sensitized microplate reagent: peroxidase-linked monoclonal antibodies).

Serum or BAL fluid samples are heat-treated in the presence of EDTA in order to dissociate immune complexes and to precipitate proteins that could possibly interfere with the test. The treated samples and conjugate are added to the wells coated with monoclonal antibodies, and incubated. A monoclonal antibody - galactomannan monoclonal antibody / peroxidase complex is formed in the presence of galactomannan antigen.

The strips are washed to remove any unbound material. Next, the substrate solution is added, which will react with the complexes bound to the well to form a blue color reaction. The enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of acid, which changes the blue color to yellow. The absorbance (optical density) of specimens and controls is determined with a spectrophotometer set at 450 and 620/630 nm wavelength.

The acceptance criteria appear to be implicitly defined by the sponsor's demonstration of these performance characteristics, particularly with confidence intervals, which indicate variability.

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

  • Serum Samples:

    • Pediatric Patients: 1954 serum samples from 129 immunocompromised pediatric patients (age ≤ 21 years) at high risk for Invasive Aspergillosis (IA), covering those diagnosed with Proven and Probable IA and controls.
      • Controls: 1625 serum samples from 108 pediatric patients.
      • IA Diagnosed: 249 serum samples from 17 pediatric patients.

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

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth. It states that diagnoses of Invasive Aspergillosis (Proven or Probable) were defined by EORTC/NIAID definitions. This implies that the ground truth was established based on these standardized clinical and microbiological criteria, likely applied by clinical specialists at the participating sites, rather than an independent panel of experts reviewing cases.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe a specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing the ground truth. The reliance on EORTC/NIAID definitions suggests a criteria-based diagnosis rather than a read-by-committee adjudication process.

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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The studies evaluate the performance of the device itself (standalone algorithm) against a clinical diagnosis (ground truth), not in a human-in-the-loop context or comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance Study

Yes, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study was done. The entire performance evaluation section describes the sensitivity and specificity of the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA (the device/algorithm) when tested against various patient samples. The results presented are exclusively based on the device's output (index values) compared to the patient's clinical diagnosis.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was clinical diagnosis based on established criteria, specifically the Invasive Fungal Infection Cooperative Group (IFICG) of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the Mycosis Study Group (MSG) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) definitions for Proven and Probable Invasive Aspergillosis. Controls were defined as patients without signs of Invasive Aspergillosis.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a separate training set or its sample size. The provided performance evaluation focuses entirely on the "test set" or clinical validation set. Based on the context, this device is a laboratory assay, not a machine learning algorithm requiring a distinct training phase in the same way an AI imaging algorithm might. The reproducibility studies detail the use of "panel members" which are likely used for internal quality control and assay validation, but not a "training set" in the context of developing an AI model.

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

As no specific training set for an AI model is described, this question is not applicable. The device is a diagnostic assay, and its development would typically involve assay design, optimization, and analytical validation rather than an AI training process.

II. BAL FLUID

Two studies were conducted on a total of 449 BAL samples from 178 Solid Organ transplant (SOT) and lung transplant recipients with and without invasive aspergillosis in the United States to determine the performance characteristics of the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA kit with Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid samples.

Of these, there were 403 BAL samples from 167 solid organ and lung transplant recipients without invasive aspergillosis.

In addition, a retrospective analysis was performed on BAL samples from 99 evaluable high risk haematology patients in a study outside the United States which included 58 patients with proven or probable invasive aspergillosis.

Expected values in BAL samples from the combined SOT and lung transplant recipients without Invasive Aspergillosis are presented in the table below. Results are presented by samples from transplant recipients with and without mold colonization.

B. REPRODUCIBILITY STUDIES

a) Reproducibility Studies In Serum

Inter-assay and Intra-assay variability for the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA were determined in a study using a panel of 6 pooled patient serum samples (one negative, one low positive, two positive, and two high positive) obtained at three clinical trial sites in North America. Each of the 6 panel members were tested in triplicate (x3) on 3 different days, on one lot, at two sites (total number of replicates at each site = 9). Each of the 6 panel members was tested in duplicate (x2) on 3 different days, on 1 lot, at a third site (total number of replicates at the third site = 6). One (1) operator performed all precision testing at each site. The data were analyzed according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) (formerly National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS)). The mean optical density (OD) and mean index value, standard deviation (SD), percent coefficient of variation (%CV), within run precision (intraassay) and within site (inter-assay) precision for each panel member at each site are illustrated below in the following tables.

b) Reproducibillity Studies in BAL

Inter-assay and Intra-assay variability for the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA were determined in a study using a panel of 4 pooled patient BAL samples spiked with purified galactomannan (one negative, one high negative, one low positive and one medium positive) at 3 testing sites (Two US clinical testing sites and one internal site). Each of the 4 panel members and the controls were tested in duplicate (x2) in 2 runs per day on 5 different days on one lot (Total number of replicates at each site = 120). Two (2) operators performed all precision testing at each site. The data was analyzed according to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) (formerly National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS)). The mean optical density (OD) and mean index value, standard deviation (SD), percent coefficient of variation (%CV), within run precision (intra-assay) and between site, between day, between operator and between run (inter-assay) precision for each panel member are illustrated below in the following table:

C. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION STUDIES

I. SERUM SAMPLES

Clinical testing to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA was conducted on pediatric (age ≤ 21 years) patients at three sites located in the United States and on adult patients at three sites located in North America. The studies were conducted using a total of 1954 serum samples collected from 129 pediatric patients and a total of 1724 serum samples collected from 172 adult patients from the following populations*:

· patients without signs of Invasive Aspergillosis (control patients)

· patients with Probable Invasive Aspergillosis

· patients with Proven Invasive Aspergillosis

  • The Invasive Fungal Infection Cooperative Group (IFICG) of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the Mycosis Study Group (MSG) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 2002 have defined criteria for diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) in patients with hematologic malignancy or hematopoetic stem cell transplant. 4

SENSITIVITY

A. Pediatrics

Results from this study have been analyzed in terms of patient sensitivity. Sensitivity testing was conducted using the Platelia™ Aspergillus EIA at three sites on a combined total of 17 immunocompromised pediatric patients diagnosed with Proven or Probable Invasive Aspergillosis.

§ 866.3040

Aspergillus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Aspergillus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies toAspergillus spp. in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of aspergillosis caused by fungi belonging to the genusAspergillus. Aspergillosis is a disease marked by inflammatory granulomatous (tumor-like) lessions in the skin, ear, eyeball cavity, nasal sinuses, lungs, and occasionally the bones.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
