i-CHROMA iFOB in conjunction with i-CHROMA Reader is a fluorescence immuno-chromatographic assay system for qualitative detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in human fecal samples.

i-CHROMA iFOB is an in vitro diagnostic test used by laboratories and physician offices for routine physical examination when gastrointestinal bleeding may be suspected.

Device Description

i-CHROMA iFOB in conjunction with i-CHROMA Reader is a fluorescence immunochromatographic assay system for qualitative detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in human fecal samples.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the i-CHROMA iFOB with i-CHROMA Reader device, a fluorescence immunochromatographic assay system for qualitative detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in human fecal samples.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The provided text does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a separate section with numerical targets. Instead, performance testing results are presented as summaries. The performance is compared to a predicate device (OC Auto Micro FOB Test). The acceptance of the device is implied by its demonstrated performance in these studies, showing high agreement and accuracy with the predicate device and being "equally sensitive" to certain hemoglobin types.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied from performance summary)Reported Device Performance (i-CHROMA iFOB)
No hook effectShowed no prozone/hook effect up to analyte concentration 2000 ng/mL.
Sensitivity to Hemoglobin SEqually sensitive to 'Hemoglobin S' as the abnormal hemoglobin associated with sickle cell anemia.
No significant cross-reactivity with animal hemoglobinShowed no significant cross-reactivity with any of the eight animal hemoglobin (bovine, chicken, fish, horse/equine, goat, pig/swine, rabbit, and sheep origin).
No significant interference from endogenous substancesNo significant interference from any of the four endogenous substances (Ascorbic acid, Bilirubin, Albumin and Myoglobin).
High repeatability and reproducibilityShowed high degree of repeatability as well as between-run, lot-to-lot, instrument-to-instrument and site-site reproducibility.
High overall percent agreement with predicate device (analytical method comparison)Analytical method comparison study at three US sites showed high degree of overall percent agreement as well as positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement between test results obtained with i-CHROMA iFOB and the predicate method OC Auto Micro FOB.
High positive and negative percent agreements with predicate device (clinical testing)More than 96% positive and negative percent agreements in test results when compared with the predicate method OC Auto Micro FOB.
High accuracy with weak positive and weak negative samples95-99.66% accuracy in test results with weak positive and weak negative samples.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Analytical Method Comparison Study: "Analytical method comparison study at three US sites performed on spiked human fecal samples..." The sample size is not explicitly stated for this study, only that it was conducted at three US sites. The data provenance is US sites and involves spiked human fecal samples.
  • Clinical Testing Study: "Clinical testing study at two Korean and one US site involving prospective testing of clinical human fecal samples..." The sample size is not explicitly stated for this study. The data provenance is two Korean and one US site and involves prospective testing of clinical human fecal samples.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth. It primarily relies on comparison with a predicate device.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for the test set.

5. 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

This device is an automated occult blood analyzer (i-CHROMA Reader) that provides qualitative (positive/negative) results. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study regarding human reader improvement with AI assistance is not applicable and was not conducted. The device acts as the "reader" itself.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the performance studies described are for the device as a standalone system: "i-CHROMA iFOB with i-CHROMA Reader". The "i-CHROMA Reader" automatically scans the test cartridge and displays the result. There is no human-in-the-loop performance described for this qualitative test, as the device itself determines and displays the positive/negative outcome.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the performance studies appears to be established by comparison with a predicate device (OC Auto Micro FOB Test). In the analytical method comparison, spiked human fecal samples were used, where the "ground truth" would be the known concentration of hemoglobin in the spiked samples. For the clinical testing study, the comparison was against the predicate method.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not mention a separate training set or its sample size. This device is not described as involving machine learning that would typically require a distinct training set. The device operates based on pre-programmed calibration and an analytical cut-off.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Since a dedicated "training set" for a machine learning model is not mentioned, the concept of establishing ground truth for such a set is not applicable in this context. The device relies on a pre-programmed calibration, and the ID chip contains encoded calibration data for batch-to-batch variation. The establishment of this calibration data (which serves a similar purpose to informing the device's measurement accuracy) is not detailed beyond being "pre-programmed."

  • i-CHROMA Reader is a fluorometer instrument which scans the sample-loaded . i-CHROMA iFOB test cartridge and displays the test result. i-CHROMA Reader and i-CHROMA iFOB are compatible only with each other. i-CHROMA Reader is marketed/supplied separately on demand.
  • The ID chip contains a memory device that contains encoded calibration l data/information for the batch-to-batch (lot-to-lot) variation. With the ID chip inserted in the designated port, i-CHROMA Reader reads and utilizes the calibration data regarding the batch/lot under consideration and applies appropriate correction to the conversion formula while computing the test result.

{2}------------------------------------------------

i-CHROMA iFOB Test Cartridge:

i-CHROMA iFOB Test Cartridge is composed of a test strip enclosed in a disposable plastic housing.

The components of the test strip are:

  • An antibody-immobilized nitrocellulose membrane -
  • . A sample pad
  • An absorption pad (also called absorbing pad or absorbent pad) -
  • A plastic backing 1

i-CHROMA iFOB Sample Collection Tube:

'Sample Collection Tube' is an essential component of i-CHROMA iFOB. A box containing 25 pre-filled sample collection tubes, is delivered separately from the test cartridge box. It is further packed in a Styrofoam box provided with ice packs for the purpose of shipment.

The sample collection tube is a specially designed plastic container. Each sample collection tube contains 1mL Detection Buffer. Apart from being the container for the detection buffer, the sample collection tube serves the following purposes:

  • Proper sampling of the fecal sample i)
  • ii) Thorough mixing of the fecal sample with the detection buffer for ensuring complete extraction of the fecal sample
  • iii) Application of precise quantity of the sample mixture into the 'Sample well' of the i-CHROMA iFOB test cartridge

i-CHROMA iFOB Sample Collection Tube' contains 1 mL 'Detection Buffer'. Approximately 13 mg (±1.82 mg) of human fecal sample is actually delivered into the detection buffer in the 'i-CHROMA iFOB Sample Collection Tube' following the sampling procedure described in the package insert of i-CHROMA iFOB test.

i-CHROMA Reader:

i-CHROMA Reader is a custom-configured, portable, desktop, fluorescence-scanning instrument for qualitative detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in human fecal samples; duly mixed with the detection buffer and tested by i-CHROMA iFOB.

i-CHROMA Reader is intended to be used only in conjunction with i-CHROMA iFOB for in vitro diagnostic purpose by laboratories and physician offices. i-CHROMA Reader measures 250 mm (L) x 185 mm (W) x 80 mm (H) in size and weighs 1.2 Kg.

The i-CHROMA iFOB test cartridge is loaded with the human fecal sample which has been duly mixed with the detection buffer in i-CHROMA iFOB Sample Collection Tube as per the standard test procedure recommended by Boditech Med Inc. This sample

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

loaded test cartridge is inserted in to the cartridge holder of the i-CHROMA Reader for the purpose of being scanned.

Upon inserting the sample-loaded test cartridge in the i-CHROMA Reader, the laser light illuminates the test cartridge membrane thereby triggering fluorescence from the fluorochrome-labeled complexes accumulated at the test line as well at the control line.

The fluorescent light is collected together with the scattered laser light. Pure fluorescence is filtered from the mixture of the scattered and fluorescent light. Intensity of the fluorescence is scanned and converted into an electric signal which correlates to the intensity of fluorescence and hence to the concentration of FOB hemoglobin in the test sample.

The on-board microprocessor computes the FOB hemoglobin concentration based on a pre-programmed calibration. The computed and converted result is displayed by the i-CHROMA Reader in a qualitative (positive or negative) manner.

Test Principle:

i-CHROMA iFOB is an immunoassay system based on antigen-antibody reaction and fluorescence technology.

When a human fecal sample is mixed with the detection buffer in the sample collection tube, the fluorochrome-labeled detector antibodies (anti-hemoglobin) in the detection buffer binds with hemoglobin in the fecal occult blood (FOB).

When the fecal sample mixture is loaded into the sample well on the test cartridge as per the recommended test procedure, it migrates through the nitrocellulose matrix of the test strip.

The fluorochrome-labeled detector antibody-analyte (FOB hemoglobin) complexes get captured on to the capture antibodies (anti-hemoglobin) which have been immobilized at the test line on the test strip.

As a result, the fluorochrome-labeled complexes of the detector antibody-analyte (FOB hemoglobin)-capture antibody get accumulated at the test line on test cartridge membrane.

Thus, more the hemoglobin in the human fecal sample, more the complexes that get accumulated at the test line on the test cartridge membrane.

Upon inserting the sample-loaded test cartridge in the i-CHROMA Reader, the laser light illuminates the test cartridge membrane thereby triggering fluorescence from the fluorochrome-labeled complexes of hemoglobin.

The fluorescent light is collected together with the scattered laser light. Pure fluorescence is filtered from the mixture of the scattered and fluorescent light. Intensity of the fluorescence is scanned and converted into an electric signal which is correlates to the intensity of fluorescence and hence to the concentration of FOB hemoglobin in the test sample.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The on-board microprocessor computes the FOB hemoglobin concentration based on a pre-programmed calibration.

The computed and converted result is displayed by the i-CHROMA Reader in a qualitative (positive or negative) manner based on an analytical cut-off of 100 ng/mL (hemoglobin in fecal sample mixed with detection buffer) which is equivalent to 8ug i.e. 0.008 mg hemoglobin per gram of stool.

i-CHROMA iFOB and i-CHROMA Reader are compatible only with each other.
