Intended Use

PATHFAST® cTnl-II test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of cardiac Troponin I (cTn!) in heparinized or EDTA whole blood and plasma. Measurements of cardiac Troponin I are used as an aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. This method is for use in clinical laboratory or point of care (POC) settings.

The PATHFAST® cTnl Calibrators are for calibration of the PATHFAST® system when used for the quantitative determination of cardiac Troponin I in human heparinized or EDTA whole blood and plasma.

Device Description

The PATHFAST cTnl-II assay is for the quantitative measurement of human cardiac troponin I in heparinized or EDTA whole blood or plasma. The assay is designed for use on the PATHFAST instrument.

The PATHFAST cTnl-II test is a chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay performed on the PATHFAST instrument. Patient samples, whole blood or plasma, are dispensed by the operator into the designated area on the reagent cartridge. The instrument combines the patient sample, the antibody coated magnetic particles, and the alkaline phosphatase conjugate and incubates the mixture for 5 minutes at 37°C. During this incubation, the analyte in the patient sample binds to the antibody on the coated particles, and the alkaline phosphatase conjugate binds to the analyteantibody-coated particle.

After the incubation, the instrument performs Bound/Free (B/F) separation using Magtration® technology to remove any excess unbound reagents. The chemiluminescent substrate is then added. The substrate is catalyzed by the bound alkaline phosphatase, which results in emission of photons.

The photo-multiplier tube in the PATHFAST instrument detects the photons that are emitted during the reaction. The chemiluminescent count is converted to analyte concentration values by the instrument based on the master calibration curve for the reagent lot.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a detailed breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The core purpose of the PATHFAST® cTnI-II test is to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by quantitatively measuring cardiac Troponin I (cTnI). The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the clinical sensitivity and specificity targets presented in the study.

Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The device performance is evaluated at two different cutoffs: the 99th percentile cutoff (0.029 ng/mL) and an ROC cutoff (0.264 ng/mL). The study describes the performance across three time intervals for sample collection relative to presentation at the Emergency Room (ER): 0-2 hours, 2-6 hours, and 6-12 hours.

CutoffTime IntervalMetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance

Clinical Specificity(Not explicitly stated, but generally high for AMI diagnosis)98.1% (95% CI: 95.6% - 99.4%)
6 to 12 hClinical Sensitivity(Not explicitly stated, but generally high for AMI diagnosis)80.6% (95% CI: 69.5% - 88.9%)
Clinical Specificity(Not explicitly stated, but generally high for AMI diagnosis)97.7% (95% CI: 95.1% - 99.2%)

Note on "Acceptance Criteria (Implied)": The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance thresholds for sensitivity and specificity. Instead, it presents the device's performance, implying these are acceptable for the intended use as an aid in AMI diagnosis. The fact that the device was cleared suggests these performance metrics met the FDA's requirements for substantial equivalence.

Study Details

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

    • Sample Size: 333 consecutively eligible consented patients.
      • 72 patients diagnosed with MI
      • 261 patients diagnosed as non-MI
    • Data Provenance: Prospectively collected banked serial plasma samples (heparin anticoagulant). The country of origin is not explicitly stated in the provided text.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Number of experts: An "adjudication panel" was used. The exact number of experts is not specified.
    • Qualifications of those experts: The qualifications are not explicitly stated, but the panel followed "ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF 2007 guidelines" for diagnosing MI, implying expertise in cardiology and clinical diagnosis of MI.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Adjudication Method: "The clinical diagnosis of MI was performed by an adjudication panel according to ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF 2007 guidelines." This indicates a consensus-based approach guided by established clinical guidelines. Specific voting rules (like 2+1) are not detailed.
  4. 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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study with human readers and AI assistance was not described. This study focuses on the standalone performance of the PATHFAST® cTnI-II test.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, a standalone study was done. The reported clinical sensitivity and specificity describe the performance of the PATHFAST® cTnI-II test (algorithm/device only) in distinguishing MI from non-MI based on cTnI levels, without human interpretation of the test results themselves as part of the primary analysis. The ground truth, however, was human-adjudicated.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Ground Truth Type: Expert consensus based on "existing clinical data including ECG and other clinical information" and adherence to "ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF 2007 guidelines." Notably, the panel explicitly "did not use the final discharge diagnosis or the PATHFAST cTnI-II Test results" to avoid bias. This is a form of expert consensus based on comprehensive clinical information.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • The document primarily describes a clinical validation study and does not explicitly state a separate "training set" for the clinical performance evaluation of the PATHFAST® cTnI-II test in the context of MI diagnosis. The device's internal calibration and analytical performance were likely developed using other sample sets, but these are not detailed as "training sets" for the clinical sensitivity/specificity study. The data referenced for the 99th percentile cutoff (0.029 ng/mL) was derived from "490 heparinized plasma samples from apparently healthy individuals," which could be considered a reference sample set used in establishing normative values rather than a "training set" for a diagnostic algorithm.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • As no explicit "training set" for the clinical performance study (diagnosis of AMI - serial samples) is detailed, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable in this context. For the 99th percentile reference interval determination, the ground truth was "apparently healthy individuals," implying a healthy cohort without MI.

Diagnosis of AMI – Serial Samples

An additional study was performed on prospectively collected banked serial plasma samples (heparin anticoagulant) from 333 consecutively eligible consented patients presenting to the ER with suspicion of myocardial infarction (MI). The study vielded 72 MI patients and 261 non-MI patients. The blood sample collection times were at 0-2 hours, at 2 to 6 hours, and at 6 to 12 hours of presentation to the ER. The clinical diagnosis of MI was performed by an adjudication panel according to ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF 2007 guidelines. The adjudication panel used existing clinical data including ECG and other clinical information to make the diagnosis, but not the final discharge diagnosis or the PATHFAST cTnl-II Test results. Clinical sensitivity and clinical specificity were calculated by comparing the PATHFAST cTnl-II Test results to clinical diagnosis assigned by the adjudication panel. The calculations were performed with both the 99th percentile cutoff (≥0.029 ng/mL) and the ROC cutoff (≥0.264 ng/mL) of the assay.

Limitations of procedure

    1. The instrument reporting system contains error codes to warn the operator of specific malfunctions. Any reports slip containing such error codes should be kept for follow-up. See the PATHFAST operator's manual.
    1. When using the 99th percentile cutoff, the PATHFAST cTnl-II Test should be interpreted with at least 2 serial samples. When using the ROC cutoff, the test should be interpreted with 3 serial samples. When samples are collected in the early hours, it is not advisable to use the higher cutoff.
    1. Patient samples may contain heterophilic antibodies that could react in immunoassays to give a falsely high or low result. This assay has been designed to minimize interference from heterophilic antibodies. Nevertheless, complete elimination of this interference from all patient specimens cannot be guaranteed. A test result that is inconsistent with the clinical picture and patient history should be interpreted with caution.
