Intended Use
The Virtuoso system provides automated digital slide creation, management, analysis, and viewing. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the display, detection, counting, review and classification of tissues and cells of clinical interest based on particular morphology, color, intensity, size, pattern and shape. The Virtuoso™ System for IHC PR (1E2) is for digital read and image analysis applications. This particular Virtuoso system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection and semi-quantitative measurement of progesterone receptor (PR) protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal and neoplastic tissue. This device is an accessory to Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay. The CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay is indicated for use as an aid in the assessment of breast cancer patients for whom endocrine treatment is being considered (but is not the sole basis for treatment). Note: The IHC PR (1E2) Digital Read and Image Analysis applications are adjunctive computer-assisted methodologies for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and measurement of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of PR protein. The pathologist should verify agreement with the Image Analysis software application score. The accuracy of the test results depends on the immunohistochemical staining. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate morphological studies and controls as specified in the instructions for the CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (IE2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody used to assure the validity of the Virtuoso System for IHC PR Digital Read and Image Analysis scores. The actual correlation of CONFIRM™ anti-PR antibody to clinical outcome has not been established.
Device Description
The Virtuoso™ System is an instrument-plus-software system designed to assist the qualified pathologist in the consistent assessment of protein expression in immunohistochemically stained histologic sections from formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded normal and neoplastic tissues. The system consists of a slide scanner (iScan), computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, image analysis algorithm for specific immunohistochemical marker, and software with a Windows web browser-based user interface. Virtuoso is a web-based, end-to-end, digital pathology software solution that allows pathology laboratories to acquire, manage, view, analyze, share, and report digital images of pathology specimens. Using the Virtuoso software, the pathologist can view digital images, add annotations, make measurements, perform image analysis, and generate reports. The iScan slide scanning device captures digital images of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues that are suitable for storage and viewing. The device includes a digital slide scanner, racks for loading glass slides, computer, scanner software, keyboard, mouse and monitor. The Virtuoso software is designed to complement the routine workflow of a qualified pathologist in the review of immunohistochemically stained histologic slides. It allows the user to select fields of view (FOVs) in the digital image for analysis and provides quantitative data on these FOVs to assist with interpretation. The software makes no independent interpretations of the data and requires competent human intervention for all steps in the analysis process.
More Information

No
The document describes "image analysis algorithm" and "computer-assisted methodologies" but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms like neural networks or deep learning. The description emphasizes that the software requires "competent human intervention for all steps in the analysis process" and "makes no independent interpretations of the data," which is contrary to typical AI/ML functionality.

No

The device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to pathologists in the display, detection, counting, review, and classification of tissues and cells, and for semi-quantitative measurement of progesterone receptor protein, but it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition in a patient.

Yes

The device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the display, detection, counting, review, and classification of tissues and cells of clinical interest, specifically for the semi-quantitative measurement of progesterone receptor (PR) protein, which are all diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Virtuoso System is an "instrument-plus-software system" and includes a "slide scanner (iScan)" as a component. This indicates the presence of hardware beyond just a standard computer and monitor.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Virtuoso system is "intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist..." This is a clear declaration of its intended purpose within the context of in vitro diagnostics.
  • Function: The system is designed to analyze biological specimens (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues) to provide information about the presence and quantity of a specific protein (progesterone receptor) to aid in clinical decision-making (assessment of breast cancer patients for endocrine treatment). This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Accessory to an IVD: The description states that the Virtuoso System for IHC PR (1E2) is an "accessory to Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay." The primary antibody assay is itself an IVD, and the Virtuoso system is designed to be used in conjunction with it to perform the diagnostic test.
  • Clinical Context: The intended use and performance studies clearly demonstrate that the device is used in a clinical setting by qualified pathologists to assist in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer patients.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Virtuoso system is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Virtuoso System for IHC PR (1E2) was clinically validated via two studies. The first (primary) study evaluated overall system performance in terms of: (1) agreement between the reference manual method (with a traditional microscope) and both the digital read (DR) and image analysis (IA) applications of the Virtuoso system, (2) intra-pathologist/inter-day reproducibility of the two Virtuoso applications, and (3) inter-pathologist reproducibility of the two Virtuoso applications.

In the second study, scanner precision was evaluated in an isolated fashion via a cross-over design from the primary study. In this second study, a subset of the clinical cases (n = 40) was scanned two more times with two different scanners at two separate locations. This study evaluated scanner precision of the image analysis application only for both inter-scanner precision and intra-scanner/inter-day precision, as the image analysis application is the more objective of the two applications and is not affected by memory bias as would be the case with human interpretations.

§ 864.1860 Immunohistochemistry reagents and kits.

(a)
Identification. Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.(b)
Classification of immunohistochemistry devices. (1) Class I (general controls). Except as described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, these devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements in part 807, subpart E of this chapter. This exemption applies to IHC's that provide the pathologist with adjunctive diagnostic information that may be incorporated into the pathologist's report, but that is not ordinarily reported to the clinician as an independent finding. These IHC's are used after the primary diagnosis of tumor (neoplasm) has been made by conventional histopathology using nonimmunologic histochemical stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin. Examples of class I IHC's are differentiation markers that are used as adjunctive tests to subclassify tumors, such as keratin.(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.
(3) Class III (premarket approval). IHC's intended for any use not described in paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section.
(c)
Date of PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is required for any device described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 864.3.

Device Quality Control

The quality of results depends on the laboratory following the quality control instructions recommended in the labeling of the immunohistochemistry (IHC) reagents. The software also performs a quality check on the digital images to determine if they are suitable for further analysis using "Image Quality Assessment" algorithms.

Summary of Procedure

Samples are obtained as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Histologic sections are prepared and mounted onto glass slides. Slides are reacted with the PR (1E2) primary antibody, and are then visualized using DAB. Prepared slides are loaded into the Virtuoso system scanner and scanned. The resulting digital images are reviewed by the pathologist on a computer monitor, and appropriate fields of view (FOVs) are then selected for analysis by the Virtuoso software. The Virtuoso software produces a quantitative score for the FOV and an aggregate score over all the FOVs for the whole slide. The pathologist has the choice of accepting the result or overriding with his/her own score for some or all FOVs.

Additional Analyses:

The precision data for the Virtuoso PR system also underwent analysis for percent coefficient of variation (%CV); this could be achieved as the system provides a quantitative output that is then interpreted as a semi-quantitative (10%) output.

The results from the inter-scanner percent %CV analyses are presented in the table below. The %CVs were derived for each source of variability as the standard deviation (SD) for that source, divided by the mean, multiplied by 100%. %CVs of less than 10% are generally considered to demonstrate good precision. Across all 351 evaluable observations, the mean percent positivity for PR was 25.93%. The %CV for "sites" measures precision of the site-to-site scanning and, at 0.00%, demonstrates that scanning results were reproducible between sites. The %CV for "case" represents between-case biological variability, and the %CV for the residual term represents

PR Inter-Scanner %CV Analyses

Results of the inter-day %CV analyses for PR are presented in the table below. Here, the %CV for "day" is shown to be 0.00%. Since it is impossible for a variance to be negative, the model sets the variance component to zero in those cases. Thus, a %CV of 0 should not be interpreted as a complete absence of variability for that particular source, but rather as variability that is negligible in magnitude. Thus, for the one site that repeated measurements on multiple days, reproducibility between days was shown to be extremely high. As before, the %CVs for "case" and for the residual term reflects the between-case and between-field biological heterogeneity, factors that are outside the scope of scanner performance.
