Device Description

The SPOTCHECK continuous flow analyzer consists of various devices that interact together to provide a complete in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instrument system for use with Astoria-Pacific's neonatal screening assays. The technology can be considered automated bench chemistry in which continuously flowing reagents are mixed with the sample, ultimately producing a detectable product that correlates to analyte concentration. Proper conditions for reactions are controlled by using a variety of techniques such as specific timing for reagent inputs, incubation at specific temperatures, and/or dialysis. Depending upon the particular IVD assay, system components may differ slightly. In each case however, a system consists of an autosampler, a pump for reagents and sample streams, a module where assay chemistry occurs, a detector (including flowcell), and an interface unit that facilitates communication with the software.

The proposed modifications to the analyzer system components allow for 2 new unique system options; they are as follows:

    1. 350D Interface Unit: The predicate interface unit used for communications between detectors and software has been updated to accommodate the new software*.
      OR
    1. 307 Digital Photometer/Fluorometer: A new detector has been developed as an alternative to using the interface unit and predicate fluorometric detector. It is intended to be used with the new software*.
      AND
      *NeoPac: A new software package has been developed to replace outdated software. The 2 options listed above both depend on this software to complete the system.

Each new or modified component is briefly described below:
NeoPac Software: NeoPac is a newly developed software package designed to replace Astoria-Pacific's predicate software package. It is intended for use with new components and Microsoft® operating systems currently on the market. The software facilitates similar instrument controls as the predicate package, while adding minor but important functionality.

350D Interface Unit: The 350D facilitates electronic communication between NeoPac software and the detector(s), autosampler and pump. Each unit has 7 analog detector inputs on the front panel, a power cord connection, and cable connections for a PC, autosampler and pump. Its sole purpose is to provide a mechanism for commands and data to flow to and from the software and system components. The 350D is modified from the predicate device (350 Interface Unit) in order to communicate with new software.

307 Digital Photometer/Fluorometer: The 307 detector is a newly developed detection platform intended to provide an alternative option to the interface unit and one or more detectors in the SPOTCHECK analyzer system. Aside from providing a state-of-the-art option for detection, its spatial requirements are significantly less than the predicate device. It can be manufactured with up to 4 unique photometric or fluorometric detection channels and an additional analog input (offering the ability to connect to a standalone detector). In conjunction with NeoPac software, it facilitates the communication of data and commands between a PC, autosampler and pump.
The 307 consists of a base module with up to 4 detection channels (not including a reference channel); each channel is either a fluorometer module or a photometric subassembly. The fluorometer module is a removable device that contains a flowcell, excitation LED, and emission bandpass filter. Each fluorometer module is manufactured according to the specifications of the assay it is intended to be used with. The photometric subassembly is not removable by the user.
The only significant differences between the 307 and the predicate detectors (321 and 315) are the use of LEDs for excitation (fluorometry) and a bandpass filter instead of a monochromator (photometry).

AI/ML Overview

Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and the studies that prove the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The core acceptance criteria for the new SPOTCHECK Flow system components (350D Interface Unit, 307 Digital Photometer/Fluorometer, and NeoPac Software) are that their performance is equivalent to or improved compared to the predicate SPOTCHECK Analyzer system components (350 Interface Unit, 321 Fluorometer, and 315 Photometer, with FASPac software). This equivalence is demonstrated across various performance metrics including method comparison (bias), sensitivity (limits of detection), and precision.

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

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish a "ground truth" for the test set in the traditional sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). Instead, the studies rely on quantitative measurements compared against known concentrations or activity levels, and medical decision levels established in Astoria-Pacific's quality control laboratory. The dried blood spot controls from manufacturers and the CDC serve as reference materials based on established values.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The studies are quantitative comparisons of numerical results from the new device versus a predicate device or reference measurements, not interpretations requiring adjudication by experts.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic instrument system, not an imaging device or AI-supported diagnostic tool that involves human readers. The studies performed focused on analytical performance characteristics comparing the new instrument components to previous versions.

6. If a Standalone Study Was Done

Yes, the studies assessed the standalone performance of the new device's analytical capabilities through method comparison, sensitivity, and precision evaluations against a predicate device. The device is a continuous flow analyzer for in vitro diagnostics and its performance is inherently standalone in this context.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the analytical performance studies (method comparison, sensitivity, precision) was based on:

  • Predicate Device Measurements: For method comparison, the results from the new device were compared directly to measurements obtained from the legally marketed predicate device (321 Fluorometer).
  • Known Concentrations/Activity Levels: For sensitivity and precision, samples were prepared at specific low, medium, and high concentrations or enzyme activity levels. Dried blood spot controls from manufacturers (including Astoria-Pacific) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were used to represent normal and deficient conditions with established values.
  • Medical Decision Levels: Cut-offs established in Astoria-Pacific's quality control laboratory were used as reference points for evaluating bias.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a separate "training set" as this device is a hardware/software system for analytical measurement, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a distinct training phase with a dedicated dataset. The software (NeoPac) is a replacement for an outdated package, providing similar instrument controls with minor functionality updates, rather than an algorithm trained on data.

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

Not applicable, as there is no mention of a distinct training set in the provided document.

Introduction

The SPOTCHECK continuous flow analyzer consists of various devices that interact together to provide a complete in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instrument system for use with Astoria-Pacific's neonatal screening assays. The technology can be considered automated bench chemistry in which continuously flowing reagents are mixed with the sample, ultimately producing a detectable product that correlates to analyte concentration. Proper conditions for reactions are controlled by using a variety of techniques such as specific timing for reagent inputs, incubation at specific temperatures, and/or dialysis. Depending upon the particular IVD assay, system components may differ slightly.

      AND

*NeoPac: A new software package has been developed to replace outdated software. The 2 options listed above both depend on this software to complete the system.

Each new or modified component is briefly described below:

NeoPac Software

NeoPac is a newly developed software package designed to replace Astoria-Pacific's predicate software package. It is intended for use with new components and Microsoft® operating systems currently on the market. The software facilitates similar instrument controls as the predicate package, while adding minor but important functionality.

350D Interface Unit

The 350D facilitates electronic communication between NeoPac software and the detector(s), autosampler and pump. Each unit has 7 analog detector inputs on the front panel, a power cord connection, and cable connections for a PC, autosampler and pump. Its sole purpose is to provide a mechanism for commands and data to flow to and from the software and system components. The 350D is modified from the predicate device (350 Interface Unit) in order to communicate with new software.

307 Digital Photometer/Fluorometer

The 307 detector is a newly developed detection platform intended to provide an alternative option to the interface unit and one or more detectors in the SPOTCHECK analyzer system. Aside from providing a state-of-the-art option for detection, its spatial requirements are significantly less than the predicate device. It can be manufactured with up to 4 unique photometric or fluorometric detection channels and an additional analog input (offering the ability to connect to a standalone detector).

5. Statement of Intended Use

The devices described herein are intended to be used with Astoria-Pacific's SPOTCHECK family of neonatal screening reagent kits. Assays currently offered on the system included Uridyltransferase (GALT), Biotinidase**, Total Galactose, Phenylalanine, G6PD, and Tyrosine. They are intended for use by qualified clinical laboratory professionals.

** Astoria-Pacific is not currently seeking FDA-clearance for Biotinidase on the SPOTCHECK Flow.

6. Device Comparison

EP9-A2 Study

The first study described below adhered to the protocol outlined in Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples; Approved Guideline-Second Edition, EP9-A2. The new system option including the 307 detector was directly compared against the appropriate detector (321 Fluorometer) for 5 neonatal screening assays currently on the market. Results are summarized in the table Method Comparison and Bias Essimation Using New 307 Detector.

{5}------------------------------------------------

I N T E R N A T I O N A L

Dried blood spots were obtained to represented both normal and deficient conditions for each of the 5 individual assays used on the SPOTCHECK system. Since patient samples with deficient and partially-deficient conditions are rare and especially difficult to obtain, in some cases dried blood spot controls provided by different manufacturers (including Astoria-Pacific and the Centers for Disease Control) were used to ensure adequate sample distribution across the assay range. Samples tested include responses around the medical decision levels for each individual assay. These levels were chosen using the cut-offs established in Astoria-Pacific's quality control laboratory.

The results of the EP9-A2 protocol demonstrate that there is no clinically-significant bias which would suggest a need for further analysis. The fluorometric assays performed nearly identical on both the 307 and predicate detector. Since the detection paradigms on the 307 are equivalent to the predicate device, the strong agreement was anticipated.

Additional Study of Newborn Specimens

A second comparison study for each assay (Uridyltransferase (GALT), Total Galactose, Phenylalanine, and Tyrosine) was performed using a minimum of 88 newborn dried blood spots obtained from domestic newborn screening laboratories. The new G6PD study involved 50 newborn specimens, however the original study (described above) utilized a significant number of newborn specimens. The results of the G6PD study include 42 measurements from the previous study.

The results from the second study closely match the original study and no clinically significant bias between detection paradigms was observed.

Sensitivity

Evaluation of TGal, Phe, Tvr. and G6PD utilized 3 low-level samples analyzed over 3 days in batches of 20 low-level replicates and 20 blank replicates per run (for each method). Evaluation of GALT utilized 2 low-level samples analyzed over 3 days in batches of 20 low-level replicates and 20 blank replicates per run (1 low level sample was used in 2 of 3 runs, 40 replicates in total). Results were used to determine the sensitivity of the analytical system for each method. The study was conducted according to CLSI EP17-A: Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation; Approved Guideline. The study results demonstrated equivalent or improved sensitivity performance when compared to the predicate system. A summary is provided below.

Phe0.1 mg/dl0.2 mg/dl
Tyr0.2 mg/dl0.2 mg/dl
GALT3 µM NADPH5 µM NADPH
G6PD1 µM NADPH2 µM NADPH

Precision

Evaluation of precision for TGal, Phe, Tyr and GALT utilized 3 samples at different levels of activity or concentration (generally: low, medium, and high) for each method tested. Samples were analyzed over 5 days, 1 run per day, 8 replicates of each sample per run. Sample order was changed for each run.

{7}------------------------------------------------

I N T E R N A T I O N A L

Evaluation of precision for G6PD also utilized 3 samples at low, medium and high activity, however, samples were analyzed over 4 days with 1 run per day for 3 days and 2 runs on one day. Eight replicates of each sample were analyzed per run in order to attain the degrees of freedom recommended in the protocol. Sample order was the same for each run. The study was conducted according to CLSI EP5-A2: Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods; Approved Guideline – Second Edition.

Each method's results demonstrated an improvement in precision over the predicate device at comparable levels of analyte/enzyme activity. The only exception is an observed increase in imprecision at very low levels of G6PD enzyme activity, however, said imprecision is acceptable and not clinically significant. Neither within-run nor total precision suggests that a neonate with deficient G6PD activity would be qualified as normal, especially considering the comparable precision around the clinical decision level.
