Study Information

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: 733 qualified patient samples.
    • Data Provenance: The data was collected prospectively (clinical trials conducted from November 2011) from independent clinical test sites located in the Midwestern and Southwestern regions of the United States. Gender and age ranges were reported (22 days to 99 years).
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • The document states that the performance characteristics were determined by comparison to bacterial C. difficile culture. It does not mention the use of human experts to establish ground truth for the clinical test set; rather, the gold standard for diagnosis was a laboratory method (bacterial culture).
  3. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Since the ground truth was established by bacterial C. difficile culture, an expert adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1) was not described or necessary. The comparison was directly against the culture results.
  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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is an Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) kit, which is a laboratory test where results are read spectrophotometrically or visually from a microplate, not an imaging device requiring human interpretation of complex visual data. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance" is not applicable.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, the clinical performance described (sensitivity, specificity, correlation) represents the standalone performance of the Premier C. difficile GDH assay. It is an "algorithm only" in the sense that it is a biochemical assay designed to yield a direct result (positive/negative) based on antigen detection, without human interpretation influencing the diagnostic outcome beyond standard laboratory procedures (e.g., pipetting, reading the spectrophotometer).
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The ground truth used for the clinical performance evaluation was bacterial C. difficile culture.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • The document does not explicitly state a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models. For an ELISA kit, development typically involves analytical studies (sensitivity, specificity, interference, cross-reactivity, strain reactivity) and then clinical validation. The "analytical sensitivity" study used 45 replicates for each measurand. The "reproducibility" panels involved blind-coded samples tested multiple times. These studies contribute to the device's development and validation but are not a "training set" in the common AI sense.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Again, the concept of a "training set" in the AI sense is not directly applicable. For the analytical studies, the "ground truth" (e.g., known concentration of C. difficile GDH antigen, presence/absence of interfering substances, known microorganisms) was established through controlled laboratory spiking and preparation of contrived samples. For the broader validation, bacterial C. difficile culture served as the reference standard.

Performance Comparison, Non-clinical Tests

Analytical Sensitivity

Sensitivity studies were designed to determine within 95% confidence intervals the analytical limit of detection (LoD) of C. difficile GDH antigen diluted in a human stool matrix. The analytical sensitivity of this assay was based on 45 replicates for each measurand and with a stated probability (95%) of obtaining positive responses at the following levels of the measurand when spiked in stool: 8 ng/mL.

Interference Testing

Selected drugs and other non-microbial substances that might be present in stool samples from healthy persons or patients suspected of having C. difficile associated disease were added to three negative stool samples and three positive stool samples. The contrived positive specimens were prepared from a pool of donor stools that were confirmed as negative. The samples were inoculated with C. difficile strain 11186 at 8 ng/mL, the limit of detection for this assay. Potentially interfering substances were added at final concentrations of 5% V/V or greater. Dilution Controls for each sample were prepared by adding a phosphate-buffered saline solution in place of the potentially interfering substance. Each sample was tested in triplicate.

The following substances, at the specified saturated solvent/diluent concentrations, do not interfere with Premier C. difficile GDH test results in the final concentrations listed: Barium sulfate (5 mg/mL), Fecal fat (2.65 mg stearic acid and 1.3 mg palmitic acid/mL), Hemoglobin (3.2 mg/mL), Imodium AD (Loperamide HCl) (6.67 x 10ª mg/mL), Kaopectate® (Bismuth subsalicylate) (0.87 mg/ml), Metronidazole (12.5 mg/mL), Mucin (3.33 mg/mL), Mylanta® (Aluminum hydroxide w/ magnesium hydroxide) (4.2 mg/mL), Pepto-Bismoth subsalicylate) (0.87 mg/mL), Polyethylene glycol (79.05 mg/mL), Prilosec® (Omeprazol) (0.5 mg/mL), Simethicone (0.625 mg/mL), Tagamet® (Cimetidine) (0.5 mg/mL). Tums® (Calcium carbonate) (0.5 mg/mL), Vancomycin HCl (2.5 mg/mL), Whole blood (25%). White blood cells (5%).

Cross-reactivity Study

Potentially crossreactive microorganisms that might be present in stool samples from healthy persons or patients suspected of having C. difficile associated disease were added to a natural negative and contrived positive sample. The contrived positive specimens were prepared from a pool of donor stools that was confirmed negative. The contrived positive sample was prepared by spiking a confirmed negative sample with C. difficile strain 11186 at 8 ng/mL the limit of detection for this assay. Potentially cross-reactive microorganisms were added at final concentrations of 1.2 x 10 °CFU/mL (bacteria or fungi) or final concentrations greater than 1 x 10 °TC/Dg/mL (viruses). Dilution controls for each sample were prepared by adding a 0.85% saline solution in place of the potentially cross-reactive organisms.

The following microorganisms, at the indicated concentrations, do not interfere with Premier C. difficile GDH test results: Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacteroides fragilis, Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter fetus, Campylobacter jejuni, Candido albicans, Citrobacter freundii, Clostridium butyricum, Clostridium bifermentans, Clostridium histolyticum novyi, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium septicum, Clostridium sordellii, Clostridium tetani, Enterobacter cloocae, Enterobacter cloocae, Enterococus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Escherichia fergusonii, Helicobacter pylori, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Lactococus lactis, Listeria monocytogenes, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Plesiomonas shiqelloides, Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella Group B, Salmonella Group C, Salmonella Group E, Serratia liquifaciens, Serratia marcescens, Shigella boydii, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis,

Reproducibility

Reproducibility panels were performed by three clinical laboratories using blind coded panels. Samples were randomly sorted within each panel to mask identities. Each panel consisted of 3 contrived moderately positive specimens, 3 contrived low positive samples, 3 contrived high- negative specimens, and 1 natural negative specimen. Panels were tested at three independent laboratories by two operators at each laboratory, twice each day over 5 non-consecutive days. The expected results were obtained with all samples by all technologists at all test sites at each time interval. Reproducibility of the assay is 100% for moderate positive, high negative, and negative samples.

As seen in the following tables, the expected results were obtained 100% of the time.

Dear Ms. Bogar:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter

{18}------------------------------------------------
