The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids encoding the vancomycin resistance genes vanA and/or vanB. The assay is performed directly on human perirectal swabs, rectal swabs, or stool specimens from patients at risk for Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonization. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay detects the presence of vanA and vanB genes that can be associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay can be used as an aid to identify. prevent and control vancomycin-resistant colonization in healthcare settings. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is not intended to diagnose VRE infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection. Culture methods are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiology typing and confirmation testing.
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is a PCR-based assay that targets regions unique to the vanA and vanB vancomycin resistance genes that may be associated with vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE). Detection of the vanA and vanB genes is measured by the presence of fluorescently-labeled oligonucleotide probes that generate a fluorescent signal when specifically bound to amplified vanA and/or vanB PCR products. Differentiation of vanA from vanB is attained by labeling the oligonucleotide probes with different colored fluorescent dyes. The amplification cycle at which fluorescent signal is detected by the Abbott m2000rt is inversely proportional to the vanA and vanB DNA target level present in the sample.
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay includes reagents for the detection of the assay process control, which contains inactivated bacteria, unrelated to enterococci, and is introduced into each specimen during sample preparation. The process control (also acting as an internal control (IC)) is co-extracted with the specimen and co-amplified in the same PCR reaction as the vanA and vanB targets. The IC demonstrates that the entire assay process has proceeded within specification.
Here's an analysis of the provided information, focusing on the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000
The document provided, K123753, describes the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay, an in vitro diagnostic device for detecting vancomycin resistance genes. The acceptance criteria are implicitly derived from the performance goals demonstrated in the clinical studies, as explicit pre-defined acceptance criteria are not directly stated in the summary. The performance is reported as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) based on comparison to a "gold standard" method.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Peri-rectal Swab Specimens | ||
| Sensitivity | High sensitivity for detecting vanA and/or vanB genes. | 94.0% (83.8% - 97.9%) |
| Specificity | High specificity for differentiating between detected vanA/vanB and negative samples. | 93.9% (91.5% - 95.6%) |
| Positive Predictive Value | Adequate PPV for indicating presence of vanA/vanB. | 58.8% (47.8% - 68.9%) |
| Negative Predictive Value | High NPV for ruling out vanA/vanB presence. | 99.4% (98.3% - 99.8%) |
| Rectal Swab Specimens (Prospective) | ||
| Sensitivity | High sensitivity for detecting vanA and/or vanB genes. | 96.8% (89.1% - 99.1%) |
| Specificity | High specificity for differentiating between detected vanA/vanB and negative samples. | 91.7% (88.3% - 94.2%) |
| Positive Predictive Value | Adequate PPV for indicating presence of vanA/vanB. | 68.5% (58.3% - 77.2%) |
| Negative Predictive Value | High NPV for ruling out vanA/vanB presence. | 99.4% (97.7% - 99.8%) |
| Rectal Swab Specimens (Retrospective) | ||
| Positive Percent Agreement | High agreement with the reference method for positive samples. | 100.0% (91.6% - 100.0%) |
| Negative Percent Agreement | High agreement with the reference method for negative samples. | 0.0% (0.0% - 65.8%) Note: This low NPA is due to the specific composition of the retrospective cohort, where all "negative" samples by the IMDx assay were also negative by the reference standard. The total NEG for the IMDx assay was 0, meaning no calculation was possible. This requires careful interpretation. |
| Stool Specimens | ||
| Sensitivity | High sensitivity for detecting vanA and/or vanB genes. | 87.0% (77.0% - 93.0%) |
| Specificity | High specificity for differentiating between detected vanA/vanB and negative samples. | 85.8% (82.0% - 88.8%) |
| Positive Predictive Value | Adequate PPV for indicating presence of vanA/vanB. | 51.3% (42.3% - 60.2%) |
| Negative Predictive Value | High NPV for ruling out vanA/vanB presence. | 97.4% (95.2% - 98.6%) |
Note on Acceptance Criteria: The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "Sensitivity must be >X%"). Instead, the clinical performance study aims to demonstrate that the device performs comparably and effectively for its intended use, implying that the reported percentages of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV are deemed acceptable for supporting substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set (Clinical Performance Study):
- Peri-rectal swabs: 587 samples
- Rectal swabs: 444 samples (further broken down into prospective and retrospective collections)
- Prospective: 400 samples
- Retrospective: 44 samples
- Stool specimens: 469 samples
- Total Clinical Samples: 587 + 444 + 469 = 1500 samples
- Data Provenance: Samples were collected from "five geographically diverse test sites within the United States." The study included both prospective and retrospective collection for rectal swabs.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth. It states that the ground truth was "enriched culture combined with confirmation of the molecular basis of vancomycin resistance of isolates using an alternate PCR method." This implies laboratory personnel with expertise in microbiology and molecular diagnostics, but no specific number or detailed qualifications are provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set. The ground truth was established by a combination of enriched culture and an alternate PCR method, implying a direct comparison against these established laboratory techniques rather than a human consensus process.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study focuses on the in vitro diagnostic performance of the assay itself (device vs. reference method) rather than evaluating human reader performance with and without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Yes, the clinical performance study evaluates the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay in a standalone manner. The assay is an automated PCR-based diagnostic test, and its results are compared directly to the ground truth (enriched culture + alternative PCR). There is no human interpretation of images or other data being assisted by the algorithm; the assay itself generates the result.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used was a combination of enriched culture combined with confirmation of the molecular basis of vancomycin resistance of isolates using an alternate PCR method. This is a highly robust ground truth for detecting the presence of vanA and/or vanB genes and is considered a reference standard in microbiology.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly state the sample size for a "training set." This type of molecular diagnostic assay typically undergoes extensive analytical validation (e.g., LOD, reactivity, cross-reactivity) using characterized strains and spiked samples, and then its clinical performance is evaluated on a distinct clinical test set. It's possible that data from these extensive analytical studies could be considered analogous to training data for method optimization, but a defined "training set" in the context of machine learning is not applicable here as it's a rule-based PCR assay, not an AI/ML algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted above, a traditional "training set" as understood in AI/ML is not described. However, for the analytical studies (e.g., Analytical Reactivity, Challenge Study), the ground truth was established using "well-characterized vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus strains and/or clinical isolates" and other organisms. These strains would have their vanA/vanB status, and other genetic characteristics, confirmed through standard microbiological and molecular methods (e.g., sequencing, biochemical tests, established PCR assays).

Analytical Reactivity
Eighty-eight (88) well-characterized vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus strains and/or clinical isolates (43 VanA-type and 45 VanB-type) were evaluated with the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay. All strains were detected by the assay.
Challenge Study
A challenge study was conducted using a panel of 72 well-characterized strains of Enterococcus: 23 vanA strains, 25 vanB strains, 2 strains with both vanA and vanB genes, 1 strain with both vanA and vanC genes, 5 vanC strains, 3 vanD strains, 1 vanG strains, 1 vanG strain, and 10 vancomycin-susceptible strains. All Enterococcus strains harboring vanA or vanB resistance genes were detected. All Enterococcus strains harboring vanC, vanE, or vanG resistance genes and all vancomycin-sensitive Enterococcus strains were not detected by the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay.
Cross-Reactivity/Microbial Interference
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated for potential cross-reactivity and/or interference using a panel of 96 organisms that may be present in rectal. peri-rectal and stool samples. Included in the panel were 13 vancomycin-sensitive Enterococcus strains and 10 vancomycin-resistant (non-vanAlvanB) Enterococcus strains. Bacteria were tested at a concentration of ≥ 1 x 106 CFU/mL, and viruses at a concentration of ≥ 1 x 10 TCIDs6/mL. None of the organisms tested were found to cross-react or interfere with the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay.
Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) strains
Twelve (12) VRSA (VanA-type) isolates from the Network on Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (NARSA) were tested with the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay. The vanA gene was detected in all strains. The vanB gene was not detected in any of the strains. Since S. aureus may harbor vanA and vanB vancomycin resistance genes, the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay may produce detected results if S. aureus organisms harboring these genes are present in the clinical specimen.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Interfering Substances
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay was challenged with twenty-three (23) substances that may be present in rectal, peri-rectal or stool specimens. The substances included: anti-fungal/ anti-itch vaginal cream, suppositories, anti-hemorrhoid creams/ointments, antacids, enemas. condoms with spermicidal lubricant, anti-diarrheal medication, laxatives, antibiotics (oral and topical), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, moist towelettes, fecal components (e.g. blood, mucus, fecal lipid), and MRI contrast agent. No assay interference was observed for any of the substances.
Clinical Performance Characteristics
The performance of the IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay was assessed by comparison to enriched culture combined with confirmation of the molecular basis of vancomycin resistance of isolates using an alternate PCR method. Samples were collected from five geographically diverse test sites within the United States. The patient distribution, by age, is shown in Figure 1. Samples enrolled for this study included a total of 587 peri-rectal swabs. 444 rectal swabs, and 469 stool specimens. Assay performance, by specimen type, is listed in Tables 5-10. Tables 11-12 presents Assay performance by genotype detected.

Dear Ms. White:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Indications for Use
K123753 510(k) Number:
Device Name:
IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000
Indications for Use:
The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for the qualitative detection of nucleic acids encoding the vancomycin resistance genes vanA and/or vanB. The assay is performed directly on human perirectal swabs, rectal swabs, or stool specimens from patients at risk for Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonization. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay detects the presence of vanA and vanB genes that can be associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay can be used as an aid to identify, prevent and control vancomycin-resistant colonization in healthcare settings. The IMDx VanR for Abbott m2000 assay is not intended to diagnose VRE infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection. Culture methods are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiology typing and confirmation testing.
