Device Description

The CLINITEK Novus® system is a fully automated urine chemistry analyzer that is designed for use with the CLINITEK Novus® 10 Urinalysis Cassette. The analyzer automates the process of urine strip testing by dispensing urine samples onto a test pad, and then by reading the color and intensity of light reflected from the reacted test pads, converts the results into clinically meaningful units.

Test results from the test pads are qualitative and semi-quantitative; specific gravity is measured by a refractometer assembly.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria (e.g., "The device must achieve X% agreement"). However, it does present the results of comparison studies against a predicate device and states that "The results for overall percent agreement and within one level agreement met acceptance criteria." This implies that acceptable thresholds were achieved. Based on the presented data, we can infer the achieved performance. For specific analytes, the values vary, but they consistently show high exact match and very high agreement within +/- 1 block.

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

  • Sample Size:
    • For the method comparison study (comparing CLINITEK Novus to the predicate CLINITEK Atlas), up to 2773 specimens were tested across 3 sites for most analytes.
    • For Urobilinogen, an additional fourth site was involved due to a high number of contrived samples in the initial three sites. This fourth site tested 261 samples (187 negative, and then 48, 10, 12, 4 for various positive levels).
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. The study was conducted "across 3 sites" (and later a fourth), implying a multi-center study within the scope of the device manufacturer's operations/clinical trials. It is a prospective comparison study as it compared the new device (CLINITEK Novus) against an existing predicate device (CLINITEK Atlas) using actual patient specimens.

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

The context of this device being an automated urine chemistry analyzer comparing its readings to a predicate automated urine chemistry analyzer suggests that the "ground truth" for the test set was established by the results from the predicate device (CLINITEK Atlas), not human experts. Therefore, the concept of a number of experts and their qualifications for establishing ground truth is not directly applicable in this context. The predicate device's established performance serves as the reference.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Since the comparison is primarily between two automated devices, and the "ground truth" is derived from the predicate device's readings, a typical adjudication method involving human readers (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) is not applicable. The data presented is a direct comparison of the readings obtained from the CLINITEK Novus analyzer against the readings obtained from the CLINITEK Atlas analyzer.

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?

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not performed. This device is an automated in vitro diagnostic (IVD) analyzer, not an AI-powered image analysis tool meant to assist human readers. Its primary function is to automatically measure chemical parameters in urine.

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

Yes, the performance reported is a standalone performance of the CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer. It assesses the device's ability to accurately measure urine parameters independently, by comparing its results directly to those of a predicate automated device. There is no human-in-the-loop component in the reported performance evaluation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary "ground truth" used for the method comparison study was the results obtained from the predicate device, the CLINITEK Atlas Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer. For the detection limit study, "ground truth" was established by spiking negative pooled human urine with known quantities of analytes.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document describes studies comparing the new device to a predicate device and analytical performance characteristics. It does not explicitly mention a "training set" or a machine learning/AI model training process for this IVD device. The description focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through analytical and method comparison studies. If the device uses algorithms derived from prior data, that information is not detailed in this summary.

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

Since a "training set" is not explicitly mentioned in the context of machine learning/AI for this device, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable/not provided in this document. The device's operation appears to be based on established reflectance photometry and refractive index principles for chemical analysis, rather than a learned model from a training set.

7.0 Test Principle

The CLINITEK Novus analyzer utilizes an optical system that has a digital imager. The concentration of each analyte is measured by the color change that develops when a sample is deposited on a test pad. The imager records the color and intensity of the light reflected off the reacted tested pads, which are illuminated by two pairs of LED lights. The optical system converts this data into clinically meaningful results.

Specific gravity (SG) is determined by the fiber optic refractive index method. The SG sensor measures the amount of light passing through the fiber optic at one end. Because the refractive index is proportional to specific gravity, the light measured correlates to the specific gravity of the sample yielding a quantitative result.

9.0 Instrument Name:

CLINITEK Novus Automated Urine Chemistry Analyzer

{21}------------------------------------------------

10.0 System Descriptions

Modes of Operation

Single and continuous testing.

Specimen Identification

An internal barcode reader scans the barcode labels on the sample tubes in the racks or sample identification may be entered manually using the touch screen keyboard.

Specimen Sampling and Handling

The CLINITEK Novus system can analyze multiple sample pipette aspirates a sample from the sample tube and dispenses sample onto each test pad.

Calibration

The CLINITEK Novus system uses four liquid calibration solutions to perform a calibration reflectance check. The calibrators have a fixed value with no lot specific values. A calibration must be performed when a new lot of reagent cassette is loaded onto the system or a new cassette of the same lot is loaded and the calibration is older than 24 hours.

The calibrators are identical to those cleared in K932674.

Quality Control

Recommendations for testing quality control are in the labeling. Routinely test at least 2 levels (negative/low and positive) of an appropriate commercially available control to confirm performance of the CLINITEK Novus urinalysis cassette. Controls may also be randomly placed in each batch of samples tested. Each laboratory should establish its own qoals for acceptable standards of performance, and should question handling and testing procedures if these standards are not met.

The CLINITEK Atlas controls, cleared in K932674, may be used with the CLINITEK Novus automated urine chemistry analyzer.

Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered in the "Performance Characteristics" Section above:

None

11.0 Conclusion

The results of these studies demonstrate that the CLINITEK Novus automated urine chemistry analyzer and CLINITEK Novus 10 urinalysis cassette is similar to the predicate in both Technological Characteristics and Intended Use. The data presented is a summary of external clinical evaluation, internal laboratory evaluation, and software development information. The CLINITEK Novus performance was shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate urinalysis device.
