Study Details

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

    • Precision: Not explicitly stated as a test set size for a single study, but samples (serum pools and control materials) were tested twice per day in duplicate for 20 days.
    • Linearity: 11 concentrations of magnesium (dilutions of a high concentration serum pool).
    • Detection Limit: 60 replicates of a zero magnesium sample and 60 replicates of a low concentration serum control (total 120 replicates).
    • Analytical Specificity: Three samples of human serum at different magnesium concentrations were tested in quadruplicate for each interfering substance.
    • Method Comparison: 100 serum samples.
    • Matrix Comparison: Not explicitly stated as a number, but refers to "fresh samples from non-fasting donors."
    • Reference Range Validation: 20 serum samples from apparently healthy donors.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The studies appear to be retrospective as they use acquired samples.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable. This is an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative chemical measurement. The "ground truth" for analytical performance tests (precision, linearity, detection limits, specificity, method comparison) relies on established reference methods, spiked samples, or known concentrations, rather than expert consensus on diagnostic images or interpretations.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. This is an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative chemical measurement. Adjudication methods are typically used for qualitative or interpretive assessments (e.g., in imaging studies) where human disagreement needs resolution.
  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, a multi-reader, multi-case comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for devices involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology AI), not for a quantitative chemical assay.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, the performance characteristics described (precision, linearity, detection limit, analytical specificity) are standalone performance of the assay itself on an automated chemistry analyzer (Roche/Hitachi 717). The method comparison and matrix comparison also evaluate the device's performance against a predicate or different matrix, not human readers.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Precision: Internal controls and serum pools with target values.
    • Linearity: Serially diluted samples from a high concentration pool, where relative concentrations are known.
    • Detection Limit: Zero magnesium samples and low concentration serum control samples.
    • Analytical Specificity: Spiked samples with known concentrations of interfering substances, compared to unspiked controls.
    • Method Comparison: Comparison against the predicate device (Beckman Coulter Magnesium Reagent, K944407)
    • Matrix Comparison: Comparison between the candidate device run on serum vs. plasma samples.
    • Reference Range: Samples from "apparently healthy donors" (implying clinically normal magnesium levels).
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is a chemical reagent and does not involve machine learning or AI that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. Its performance is based on chemical reactions and assay optimization.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

L. Test Principle:

Xylidyl blue-1 + Mg** -> Mg-xylidyl blue complex (red)

Under the alkaline conditions of the Magnesium reagent, magnesium present in the sample, when mixed with reagent, forms a red complex with the diazonium salt of xylidyl blue. The concentration of magnesium in the sample is directly proportional to the amount of xylidyl blue -Magnesium complex formed and can be measured spectrophotometrically by the decrease in absorbance measured at 660 nm.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

    1. Analytical performance:
    • a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Precision testing was performed according to CLSI guideline EP5-A2. Samples, including serum pools and control materials, were tested twice per day in duplicate for 20 days. Results are summarized below:

4.71.930.150.0623.24.92.010.080.0331.6

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

A linearity study was performed in accordance with CLSI protocol EP6-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures, a Statistical Approach, and the Sekisui Diagnostics Magnesium method was demonstrated to be linear across the reportable range from 0.2 mg/dL (0.08 mmol/L) to 8.0 mg/dL (3.29 mmo//L). A high concentration serum pool was diluted with saline to produce 11 concentrations of magnesium. Samples were assayed in replicates of four. The results were used to generate best fit regression lines using a linear equation.

Nonlinearity is less than allowable nonlinearity.

Summary of Linear Fit

Slope 1.01

Intercept 0.013 mg/dL

N 11

The linearity testing confirmed a reportable range of 0.3 - 8.0 mg/dL (0.12 - 3.29 mmol/L).

  • c. Detection limit:
    The determination of the method detection limits was performed according to the CLSI EP17-A Guideline, Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation; Approved Guideline. Limit of Detection (LoD) is defined as the smallest amount of an analyte that the method can reliably detect to determine presence or absence of the analyte. LoD was

{3}------------------------------------------------

determined by measuring 60 replicates of a zero magnesium sample and 60 replicates of the low concentration serum control sample.

The results were used following the EP17-A quidelines to calculate the Limit of Blank (LoB). Limit of Detection, and Limit of Quantitaion (LoQ). The Limit of Blank was determined as 0.15 mg/dL magnesium. The Pooled SD for the low values of the samples was determined as 0.06 mg/dL; therefore, the LoD is calculated to be 0.25 mg/L. The LoQ represents the magnesium concentration where the CV is less than or equal to 20%. The LoQ is therefore 0.30 mg/L.

  • d. Analytical specificity:
    Interference studies on the effects of endogenous and exogenous substances were designed according to the CLSI EP7-A2 guideline. Potentially cross-reactive or interfering substances that were evaluated included five endogenous substances (unconjugated bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, hemoglobin, lipemia, and ascorbic acid). Three samples of human serum with different concentrations of magnesium were tested with the potential interference substances and analyzed in quadruplicate on the Roche Hitachi 717 automated analyzer. No significant interference was defined to be within +/- 10% of the corresponding control result for the high magnesium sample.
