Intended Use
The ASiManager-AT is intended to be used as an integrated digital particle analyzer to objectively interpret the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis. The ASiManager-AT is designed to provide standardized test interpretation, an initial predictive titer analysis, and provides for storage, retrieval, and transmittal of the test results. It is intended to be acquired, possessed and used only by health care professionals. For in vitro Diagnostic Use Only, not intended for screening blood and tissue donors.
Device Description
The ASiManager-AT is an integrated digital particle analyzer designed to objectively interpret certain slide agglutination tests manufactured by Arlington Scientific Inc. (ASI). Qualitative and semiquantitative tests are performed by laboratory professionals who use the ASiManager-AT to provide standardized test interpretation using criteria that define reactive and nonreactive agglutination reactions. The ASiManager-AT also delivers an initial predictive titer analysis for the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis. The ASiManager-AT employs a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera that uses light reflectance to create a highly sensitive and high-resolution image of the agglutination immunoassay. This image is then analyzed by the proprietary software algorithm to interpret the agglutination pattern. The ASiManager-AT further provides tools that enable the creation, storage. retrieval and transmittal of the test results.

Unknown
The document mentions a "proprietary software algorithm" for image analysis and interpretation, but does not explicitly state whether this algorithm utilizes AI or ML techniques. The description of performance studies focuses on agreement with visual interpretation, which is common for image analysis devices, but doesn't provide details about the algorithm's learning or adaptive capabilities.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic tool used for interpreting test results, not for treating or curing a disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "in vitro Diagnostic Use Only".

No

The device description explicitly states that the ASiManager-AT employs a CCD camera and uses light reflectance to create an image, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "For in vitro Diagnostic Use Only".
  • Function: The device is designed to interpret the results of an in vitro diagnostic test (the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis). It analyzes the agglutination pattern of a sample (blood) mixed with reagents outside of the body.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to provide standardized test interpretation and predictive titer analysis for a syphilis test, which is a diagnostic procedure performed on a sample taken from a patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ASiManager-AT clearly falls under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

  • 5.5 Summary of Comparison Data - A comparison of the digital interpretation of the results of testing samples with the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis using the ASiManager-AT and visual interpretation by trained laboratory professionals was conducted to show substantial equivalence.
    The following data are the results from three testing sites:

These results give a percent agreement positive of 98.4% with reactive samples and 95.5% with nonreactive samples.

Of the 1849 reactive samples from the qualitative testing 1224 were used to determine the predictive titer. The ASiManager-AT is programmed to project or predict the endpoint titer of each qualitative test by reading the undiluted serum (1:1) and determining its corresponding endpoint for reactive serums. This is done using a proprietary algorithm that interprets the reaction in the undiluted sample and projects what the endpoint titer of the sample will be. A one dilution difference is an acceptable range for equivalency because the minimal reactive endpoint titer is subject to interpretation between different observers due to many factors such as lighting, visual acuity, and fatigue, etc. Of the 1224 reactive samples tested 1146 were within the ±1 titer acceptance criteria, for a concordance of 93.6%

Of the 1849 reactive samples from the qualitative testing 708 were used to determine the endpoint titer. The ASiManager-AT is programmed to determine the true endpoint titer of a serial diluted specimen using the RPR endpoint titer function on the instrument. The RPR endpoint titer (semiquantitative) function analyzes the entire card and indentifies in which well the serial diluted sample becomes nonreactive. The software then calculates the endpoint titer. A one dilution difference is an acceptable range for equivalency because the minimal reactive endpoint titer is subject to interpretation between different observers due to many factors such as lighting, visual acuity, and fatigue, etc. Of the 708 reactive samples tested 700 were within the ±1 titer acceptance criteria, for a concordance of 98.9%

5.6 Conclusion - The ASiManager-AT is safe and effective for its intended use.
