Intended Use

The TRU Legionella assay is an in vitro, rapid, lateral-flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in human urine specimens. It is designed to test specimens from patients with symptoms of pneumonia. Test results are to be used as an aid in diagnosis of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 infection. A negative result does not preclude infection with Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. Test results are to be used in conjunction with information obtained from the patient's clinical evaluation and other diagnostic procedures.

Device Description

The TRU Legionella assay is an in vitro, rapid, lateral-flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in human urine specimens. The assay consists of Test Strips containing anti-Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 as the capture antibody, Containing anti-Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 as the detection antibody, Sample Diluent/Negative Control, and Positive Control.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance of the TRU Legionella assay, an in vitro rapid lateral-flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 antigen in human urine specimens. The study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the BinaxNOW® Legionella Urinary Antigen test.

Here's an analysis based on your requested points:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria in terms of specific percentages for positive or negative agreement. Instead, it presents the performance of the TRU Legionella assay in comparison to the predicate device, the BinaxNOW® Legionella test, and demonstrates high correlation. The overall performance metrics serve as the reported device performance.

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Comparison)Reported Device Performance (TRU Legionella)

Negative AgreementHigh agreement with BinaxNOW® Legionella100.0% (95% CI: 98.7 - 100.0%)
Overall CorrelationHigh correlation with BinaxNOW® Legionella98.8% (95% CI: 97.3 - 99.5%)
Reproducibility (Overall)High correlation between expected and achieved results100% (98.7 - 100.0%)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: 428 qualified patient samples.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Country of Origin: Southeastern regions of the United States and the Netherlands.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: The US clinical trial sites evaluated both retrospective frozen samples and prospectively collected samples. The retrospective samples were those previously submitted for Legionella testing. The site in the Netherlands evaluated 220 frozen samples from a well-characterized repository.

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

The ground truth for the clinical study was established by comparison to the Binax NOW® Legionella Urinary Antigen test (predicate device). The document does not describe the use of independent experts to establish ground truth for this comparison study, as it's a comparative effectiveness study against a legally marketed device. The predicate device itself serves as the reference standard for "truth" in this context.

For the samples from the Netherlands, they were "chosen from a well characterized repository of urine samples collected from patients with confirmed Legionnaires Disease as well as negative specimens from patients suspected of infection by Legionella," implying an existing clinical diagnosis. However, the exact number and qualifications of experts involved in the initial confirmation of these Legionnaires' Disease cases are not specified in this document.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The study is a direct comparison of the TRU Legionella assay's results against the BinaxNOW® Legionella test. There is no mention of an adjudication method involving multiple readers or experts to resolve discrepancies between the two tests. The BinaxNOW® result is treated as the reference.

5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed to assess human reader improvement with AI assistance. This document describes the performance of an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) rapid immunoassay, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging or interpretation tool. The test is visually read by a single operator, and the comparison is between the new device and a predicate device.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

Yes, this is effectively a standalone performance study. The TRU Legionella assay is an in vitro rapid lateral-flow immunoassay designed for direct visual interpretation of results. Its performance is measured independently against the predicate device without human-in-the-loop assistance for the assay itself (beyond the visual reading as intended).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used for the clinical performance comparison was the results from the predicate device, BinaxNOW® Legionella Urinary Antigen test. For the samples from the Netherlands, the repository samples were "from patients with confirmed Legionnaires Disease," suggesting clinical diagnosis/outcomes data for positive cases, and "negative specimens from patients suspected of infection by Legionella" for negative cases.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly describe a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI development. This is a traditional IVD device. The analytical studies (sensitivity, interference, cross-reactivity, strain reactivity) involve testing numerous laboratory-prepared specimens, but these are for analytical validation rather than AI model training.

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

Not applicable, as this is a traditional IVD device and not an AI-based system involving a training set in the machine learning sense. The analytical studies establishing limits of detection, interference, and cross-reactivity use known concentrations of L. pneumophila strains or other substances, which are internally controlled ground truths established through laboratory methods.

Performance Comparison, Non-Clinical Tests Analytical Sensitivity

Sensitivity studies were designed to determine with 95% confidence the analytical limit of detection (LoD) of L. pneumophila Philadelphia and Bellingham strains diluted in a human urine 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 shown in Table 1.

Table 2: Analytical Sensitivity

Strain IDLimit of Detection (LoD)
Philadelphia strain (Pontiac subgroup; ATCC 33152)$3.76 x 10^5$ CFU/mL
Bellingham strain (non-Pontiac subgroup; NCTC 11404)$5.2 x 10^5$ CFU/mL

Interference Testing

Selected drugs and other non-microbial substances that might be present in urine samples from healthy persons or patients suspected of having L. pneumophila infection were added to three natural negative and three contrived positive samples. The contrived positive samples were prepared by spiking confirmed negative samples with Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia strain antigen at 3.76 x 10 CFU/mL, the limit of detection for this assay. Dilution Controls for each sample were prepared by adding a saline solution in place of the potentially interfering substance.

The following substances, at the specified saturated solvent/diluent concentrations, do not interfere with the test results in the final concentrations listed:

Anthistamine (0.22 mg/ml), Ascorbic acid (1.0 mg/mL), Bilirubin (0.2 mg/mL), Boric acid (2.63 mg/mL) Ciprofloxacin (0.22 mg/ml), Cold and flu tablets (50 mg/ml), Cough drops (0.22 mg/ml), Cough syrup (0.20 mg/ml.), Decongestant (0.22 mg/ml.), Erythromycin (0.067 mg/mL), Glucose (20 mg/mL), Protein (BSA) (5 mg/mL), Rifampicin (0.09 mg/mL), Urea (20 mg/mL), White blood cells (10%), Whole blood (10%).

Cross-reactivity Study

Potentially cross-reactive microorganisms that might be present in urine samples from healthy persons or patients suspected of having L. pneumophila infection were added at a final concentration of 1.2 x 10° CFU/mL (bacteria or fungi) or a final concentration greater than 1 x 10 TCIDso/ml (viruses) to a pooled negative and a contrived positive sample. The negative specimen was prepared from a pool of donor urine that was confirmed negative. The contrived positive sample was prepared by spiking a confirmed negative sample with Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia strain antigen at 3.76 x 10' CFU/mL, the limit of detection for this assay. Dilution controls for each sample were prepared by adding a saline solution in place of the potentially cross-reactive organisms.

Performance Comparison, Clinical Tests

Clinical trials for the TRU Legionella assay were conducted August - October 2011. Performance characteristics of the TRU Legionella assay were determined by comparison to the Binax NOW Legionella Urinary Antigen test. Independent clinical test sites located in the Southeastern regions of the United States and an independent test site in the Netherlands evaluated a total of 428 qualified patient samples. The US clinical trial sites evaluated both retrospective frozen samples and prospectively collected samples, the retrospective samples were samples that had been previously submitted for Legionella testing. The site located in the Netherlands evaluated 220 frozen samples, chosen from a well characterized repository of urine samples collected from patients with confirmed Legionnaires Disease as well as negative specimens from patients suspected of infection by Legionello. Samples were collected from 272 (63.6%) males and 134 (31.3%) females. The age groups of patients ranged from 6 years. Overall positive percent agreement was determined to be 96.3%; overall negative percent agreement was determined to be 100.0%. Subsequent tables show overall assay performance as well as performance by clinical site.

Reproducibility

Reproducibility panels were performance 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 positived samples containing Legionella-negative specimens at or near the assay cutoff, and 1 natural negative specimen. Panels were tested at three independent laboratories; each laboratory tested two panels twice each day over five days. The overall correlation for the TRU Legionella reproducibility study was 100% (98.7 - 100.0%). The correlation between expected and achieved results for the moderate positive, low positive and weak negative specimens was 100.0%). The correlation for the high negative specimen was 100.0% (95.9 – 100.0%). Tables 5-7 contain the reproducibility data for the three sites.

§ 866.3300

Haemophilus spp. serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Haemophilus spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera, including antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye, that are used in serological tests to identifyHaemophilus spp. directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by bacteria belonging to the genusHaemophilus and provides epidemiological information on diseases cause by these microorganisms. Diseases most often caused byHaemophilus spp. include pneumonia, pharyngitis, sinusitis, vaginitis, chancroid venereal disease, and a contagious form of conjunctivitis (inflammation of eyelid membranes).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 866.9.
