Intended Use

The CRE2 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatinine in human serum, plasma, and urine on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal disease, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.

Device Description

The CRE2 method uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique. In the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, picrate reacts with creatinine to form a red chromophore. The rate of increasing absorbance at 510 nm due to the formation of this chromophore is directly proportional to the creatinine concentration in the sample and is measured using a bichromatic (510, 600nm) rate technique. Bilirubin is oxidized by potassium ferricyanide to prevent interference.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a new in vitro diagnostic device, the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge. This document is a summary of the safety and effectiveness information, comparing the new device to a predicate device already on the market.

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 document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria for performance parameters in a pass/fail format. Instead, it provides the results of various performance studies and implies that these results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device and/or meet established industry guidelines (CLSI). The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by what is considered "substantially equivalent" or within acceptable limits as per CLSI guidelines.

Below is a table summarizing the reported device performance, categorized by the studies conducted. It's important to note that specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "slope must be between 0.98 and 1.02") are not explicitly stated, but the reported values passed the FDA's substantial equivalence review.

The predicate's stated interferences (e.g., Hemoglobin at 1000 mg/dL, Bilirubin (unconjugated) at 5 mg/dL, Lipemia (Intralipid) at 200 mg/dL) are less tolerant than the new device in some cases for Bilirubin and Lipemia.

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

  • Method Comparison (vs. Predicate CREA Assay):
    • Serum: 191 remnant de-identified patient samples.
    • Urine: 113 patient samples.
    • Provenance: Remnant de-identified samples. "No patient history information was obtained on these samples." The studies were conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D organization personnel, implying a US-based setting. The data is retrospective as it used "remnant de-identified serum/urine samples."
  • Method Comparison (vs. IDMS Reference Method):
    • Serum: 48 remnant de-identified patient samples.
    • Provenance: Remnant de-identified samples. "No patient history information was obtained on these samples." Conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D. Retrospective.
  • Serum Plasma Equivalency:
    • Samples: 56 matched serum and lithium heparin plasma samples.
    • Provenance: "All samples in the study were fresh and never frozen." The eight spiked sample sets were prepared. Conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D. Retrospective, likely sourced from a local population.
  • Precision:
    • Samples: Two serum pools, three levels of BioRad Multiqual material, two levels of BioRad Liquicheck material, and two urine pools. Testing involved 20 days with 2 separate runs and 2 test samples for each material. The specific number of individual patient samples is not given, as this study uses control materials and pools.
    • Provenance: Not specified, but likely prepared internally or from commercial sources.
  • Limit of Blank/Detection (LoB/LoD):
    • Samples: 4 samples with no analyte (for LoB), 4 low patient serum/urine samples (for LoD). Each tested for 3 days, one run per day, across 2 reagent lots.
    • Provenance: Not specified, but generally prepared internally with blank/low-level samples.
  • Linearity (Measurement Range):
    • Samples: 12 equally spaced serum samples and 12 urine samples.
    • Provenance: Prepared by mixing high and low creatinine concentration samples.
  • Analytical Specificity (Interference):
    • Samples: Not specified in terms of number of patient samples, but involved "fresh sample pools containing either low or high levels of creatinine analyte in both serum pools and urine pools." These pools were spiked with various interfering substances.
    • Provenance: Likely developed from internal pools and commercially available substances.

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

This section is not applicable to this type of device (in vitro diagnostic for quantitative measurement of creatinine). The "ground truth" for clinical chemistry assays like creatinine is established by:

  • Reference methods (e.g., IDMS, considered the "gold standard" for creatinine measurement in some contexts).
  • Predicate devices (already cleared and established to perform reliably).
  • Known concentrations in control materials or spiked samples.

There are no human "experts" (like radiologists interpreting images) involved in establishing ground truth for the test set in this context. The "personnel carrying out the study were laboratory technicians with training similar to personnel who would conduct the tests in a hospital laboratory setting."

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This concept of "adjudication" is typical for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., medical imaging, pathology slides) where there might be disagreement among readers. For an automated in vitro diagnostic device, the measurement is quantitative and typically objective. Therefore, an adjudication method for the test set is not applicable. The "ground truth" is determined by instrumental readings and reference methods.

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

An MRMC study is not applicable here. This device is a fully automated in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Its performance is evaluated against chemical reference methods and a predicate device, not in terms of how it assists human interpretation.

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

Yes, this entire submission and its performance data represent a standalone (algorithm only) performance evaluation. The device is an automated clinical chemistry system that measures creatinine levels directly from biological samples (serum, plasma, urine) without human intervention in the interpretation of the core measurement. The reported results (slope, intercept, correlation, precision, LoB/LoD, linearity, interference) directly reflect the device's inherent analytical performance.

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

The ground truth used for evaluating the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge includes:

  • Reference Method: The IDMS (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry) method for creatinine measurement. This is considered a highly accurate and precise reference method.
  • Predicate Device: The Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA, K925668). The predicate device's cleared performance serves as a benchmark for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
  • Known Concentrations: For studies like precision, LoB/LoD, linearity, and interference, known concentrations of analytes in control materials, spiked samples, or blank samples serve as the ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

This document describes a 510(k) submission for an in vitro diagnostic reagent cartridge that uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique (a traditional chemical assay), not a machine learning or AI-based device. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm is not applicable. The "training" for such a device would refer to its development and optimization based on chemical principles, rather than data-driven machine learning.

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

As answered in point 8, the device does not employ a training set in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. Its "ground truth" for development and calibration would be rooted in established chemical and analytical principles, reference measurement procedures (like IDMS), and potentially existing characterized samples. The manufacturing process of reagents, calibrators, and the instrument's detection capabilities are based on fundamental scientific understanding rather than a data training process as understood in AI/ML.

5.12 Performance Characteristics

The following data represent typical method performance. These data were collected on the Dimension EXL 200 integrated chemistry system.

5.12.1 Method Comparison

The predicate device selected for the method comparison was the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA) cleared under K925668. Remnant de-identified serum samples were tested. No patient history information was obtained on these samples. Inclusion/exclusion data criteria are not applicable. All of the samples were native.

These studies were conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D orqanization personnel. The personnel conducting the study were laboratory technicians with training similar to personnel who would conduct the tests in a hospital laboratory setting. They were trained on the operation of both the device and the predicate device. A split sample method comparison, following EP09-A2, demonstrated good agreement between the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the predicate Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA) with serum patient samples.

One hundred ninety one serum patient samples across the assay range were tested on the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA). In a second study, 113 urine samples were tested on the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge and the Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA). The results across the full assay range were analyzed by linear regression. Although the samples were tested in duplicate, only the first result was used for the analvsis.

The LoB was determined to be 0.05 mg/dL with serum samples and is consistent with the claim of 0.05 mq/dL. With urine samples, the LoB was determined to be 0.87 mg/dL and is consistent with the claim of 1.0 mg/dL.

The LoD was determined to be 0.08 mg/dL with serum samples and is consistent with the claim of 0.1 mg/dL. With urine samples, the LoD was determined to be 1.51 mg/dL. and is ' consistent with the claim of 2.0 mg/dL.

5.12.5 Limit of Quantitation

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge for serum and plasma is 0.15 mg/dL and based on allowable total error of 0.15 mg/dL, determined consistent with CLSI Guideline EP17-A2.

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge for urine is 5.00 mg/dL and based on allowable total error of 3.00 mg/dL, determined consistent with CLSI Guideline EP17-A2.

5.12.6 Linearity (Measurement Range)

5.13.2 Interfering Substances

The CRE2 method was evaluated for interference according to CLSI EP7-A2. Bias is the difference in the results between the control sample (without the interferent) and the test sample (contains the interferent) expressed in percent. Bias exceeding 10% is considered interference. Dilution studies were conducted to determine the level at which the spiked substance no longer displayed significant interference. These studies were conducted at
