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

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.

For ground truth established by bi-directional sequencing, it's a laboratory method that typically involves trained molecular biologists or laboratory technicians. The results are considered highly accurate.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method for the test sets. The ground truth was primarily established by bi-directional sequencing, which is considered a definitive method, minimizing the need for adjudication in the traditional sense (e.g., of discrepant expert reads).

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 section is not applicable. The Invader® MTHFR 1298 is an in vitro diagnostic molecular test for genotyping a specific gene mutation. It is not an imaging or interpretive AI device that involves human "readers" or assesses "AI assistance." The device outputs a direct genotype call (WT, HET, MUT).

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

Yes, the device's performance studies were conducted in a standalone manner. The Invader® MTHFR 1298 test is an automated system where the Invader Call Reporter™ Software processes raw fluorescence data to determine genotypes. Human input is in sample preparation and loading, and reviewing the generated report, but the genotyping call itself is algorithm-driven without real-time human interpretation embedded in the performance measurement. The various studies (reproducibility, sensitivity, specificity, method comparison) directly evaluate this standalone algorithmic performance against a known ground truth (sequencing).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used for all performance studies was bi-directional DNA sequencing. This is considered the gold standard for confirming specific genetic variations. For some studies, expected genotypes based on controls or known cell lines were also used, which would have initially been characterized by sequencing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document primarily describes validation studies and does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of device development. For IVD devices, a training set generally refers to the data used to initially develop and optimize the assay parameters and interpretation algorithms. Such details are typically proprietary and not extensively disclosed in 510(k) summaries, which focus on performance validation. The studies described are validation and verification studies using independent "test sets."

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

As no specific "training set" details are provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not described. However, it can be inferred that any samples used for initial assay development and algorithm optimization would also have had their MTHFR 1298 genotype established using a highly accurate method, most likely bi-directional DNA sequencing, similar to the validation studies.

L. Test Principle:

The Invader® MTHFR 1298 test utilizes the Invader Plus® chemistry with DNA isolated from human whole blood, for the detection of the targeted sequence polymorphism. Specifically, the Invader Plus® chemistry utilizes a single-tube, two phase reaction, including target amplification and signal generation (mediated by Invader chemistry). Invader Plus® reaction mixes are assembled by combining the MTHFR 1298 Oligo Mix, Universal Enzyme Mix, and Universal Buffer. In a 96-well plate, reaction mix is combined with purified genomic DNA samples, as well as four (4) controls included with the test. The No DNA Control is used by the interpretive software to set the "noise" component of the run for "signal-to-noise" calculations. The genotype-specific controls (WT, HET, MUT) ensure reagents were assembled correctly and perform according to the specifications. The 96-well plate is transferred to an appropriately programmed thermal cycler for target amplification and signal generation. In the target amplification phase of the reaction, amplification is carried out using "two-step" cycling conditions (i.e. denaturation & annealing/extension). Following amplification, Taq polymerase is inactivated by a 10 minute incubation at 99°C, after which the thermal cycler proceeds to 63°C to initiate the signal generation (Invader ) phase of the reaction (see Figure 1).

Image /page/5/Figure/0 description: The image shows two diagrams illustrating structure formation, recognition, and cleavage processes. The left diagram, labeled '1a, 1b, 1c,' depicts the process for a wildtype-specific primary probe, while the right diagram, labeled '2a, 2b, 2c,' illustrates the process for a mutation-specific primary probe. Each diagram includes steps for structure formation, structure recognition and cleavage, and a secondary reaction involving FRET cassettes, resulting in fluorescence. The left diagram shows fluorescence 1: FAM, and the right diagram shows fluorescence 2: RED.

Figure 1. Invader® Signal Generation Phase

During the signal generation phase, a discriminatory Probe transiently hybridizes to the amplified target sequence along with an Invader oligonucleotide, to form an overlapping structure. The 5'-end of the Primary Probe includes a 5'-flap that does not hybridize to the target DNA. The 3'-nucleotide of the bound Invader® oligonucleotide overlaps the Primary Probe, and does not hybridize to the target DNA. The Cleavase enzyme recognizes this overlapping structure and cleaves off the unpaired 51-flap of the Primary Probe, releasing it as a target-specific product. The Primary Probe is designed to have a melting temperature aligned with the Invader® reaction temperature so that under the isothermal reaction conditions (~63°C) the Primary Probes cycle on and off the target DNA. This allows for multiple rounds of Primary Probe cleavage for each DNA target resulting in an accumulation of the number of released 5'-flaps. The released 5'-flap transiently hybridizes with a corresponding FRET cassette forming an overlapping structure that is recognized and the fluorophore is cleaved from the FRET cassette by the Cleavase enzyme. The 5'-flap is designed to have a melting temperature aligned with the Invader reaction temperature, so that the 5 -flaps cycle on and off of the corresponding FRET cassettes. This allows for multiple rounds of FRET cassette cleavage for each 5'flap, and an accumulation of released fluorophore. When the FRET cassette is cleaved, a fluorophore and quencher are separated, generating detectable fluorescence signal. The format uses two different discriminatory Primary Probes, one for the mutant allele and one for the wild type allele (Figure 1). Each Primary Probe is assigned a unique 5'-flap, and distinct FRET cassette, with a spectrally distinct fluorophore. By design, the released 5flaps will bind only to their respective FRET cassettes to generate a target-specific signal, linking the wild type allele with one fluorophore (Fluorescence 1: FAM) and the mutant allele with the second fluorophore (Fluorescence 2: RED).

The Invader® MTHFR 1298 software, in combination with Invader Call Reporter™ software, is a data analysis software package developed by Hologic for use with the Invader® MTHFR 1298 test. The software package provides a working template for the setup of reaction mixes and sample placement, and following the import of fluorescence data, it determines results and validity for controls and samples. A summary of the Invader Call Reporter™- Invader® MTHER 1298 package workflow is shown in Figure 2.

Image /page/6/Figure/1 description: This image is a flowchart outlining a laboratory assay process. It begins with "Assay Selection," where the operator, run ID, MTHFR 1298, and number of samples are entered. The process continues through "Mix Preparation," "Sample Placement," "Results," and concludes with a "Summary," each step involving data input, result analysis, printing, and saving in various formats like PDF, spreadsheet, and CSV.

The extracts were tested with the Invader® MTHFR 1298 test using three (3) commercially available thermal cyclers (1. ABI GeneAmp® PCR System 9700 with 96-well gold block, 2. ABI Veriti™ and 3. MJ Research PTC-100) and the raw fluorescent data acquired on three (3) commercially available fluorometers (A. Tecan Infinite®, B. Tecan Genios® and C. BioTek®, FLx800). Results from the three (3) fluorometers were transferred into the interpretive software and genotype calls compared to bi-directional sequencing.
