Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Data from a total of 421 patients (82 infants, 191 children, 148 adolescents) were analyzed to establish the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assay reference intervals for the studied pediatric population. Testing was performed on a Dimension Vista® 1500 system. A non-parametric approach was used to establish the reference intervals for children and adolescents where the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution of values were calculated. Because fewer than 120 patient samples were included for the infant age group, the reference intervals were calculated by using a robust measure of location and spread, as developed by Horn and Pesce and recommended in CLSI EP28-A3c: Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals.

For the Dimension Vista FT4 analysis, the robust symmetrical method was used because the data was normally distributed. The calculated reference interval was confirmed with two simulated reference intervals (nonparametric and robust symmetric). Each simulated reference interval was estimated as the means of the 95% upper and lower bounds from 1000 data sets. In each case, a normal distribution was fitted to the actual results, with either n=120 for the non-parametric analysis, or n=82 for the robust symmetric analysis.

For the Dimension Vista TSH assay, the sample distribution for infant subjects was highly positively skewed. As permitted by CLSI EP28-A3, the actual results were natural log transformed to produce a well-fitted normal distribution. The infant reference intervals were then calculated using the robust symmetric method on the log transformed data. The reference interval was confirmed with two simulated reference intervals (nonparametric and robust symmetric). Each simulated reference interval was estimated as the means of the 95% upper and lower bounds from 1000 data sets. In each case, a normal distribution was fitted to the actual results, with either n=120 for the non-parametric analysis, or n=82 for the robust symmetric analysis.

§ 862.1695 Free thyroxine test system.

(a)
Identification. A free thyroxine test system is a device intended to measure free (not protein bound) thyroxine (thyroid hormone) in serum or plasma. Levels of free thyroxine in plasma are thought to reflect the amount of thyroxine hormone available to the cells and may therefore determine the clinical metabolic status of thyroxine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.(b)
Classification. Class II.

7. Pediatric Reference Intervals

Data from a total of 421 patients (82 infants, 191 children, 148 adolescents) were analyzed to establish the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assay reference intervals for the studied pediatric population. Testing was performed on a Dimension Vista® 1500 system. These pediatric reference intervals, as well as the previously-established euthyroid adult reference intervals and analytical measuring ranges, are presented below.

Table 4. Comparison of Pediatric and Adult 95% Reference Intervals

  • Information taken from existing Instructions for Use (Package Inserts)

A non-parametric approach was used to establish the reference intervals for children and adolescents where the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution of values were calculated. Because fewer than 120 patient samples were included for the infant age group, the reference intervals were calculated by using a robust measure of location and spread, as developed by Horn and Pesce and recommended in CLSI EP28-A3c: Defining, Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals.

The robust symmetrical method was used for the Dimension Vista FT4 analysis because the data was normally distributed. The reference interval calculated from the actual data using the robust symmetrical method was confirmed with two simulated reference intervals (nonparametric and robust symmetric). Each simulated reference interval was estimated as the means of the 95% upper and lower bounds from 1000 data sets. In each case, a normal distribution was fitted to the actual results, with either n=120 for the non-parametric analysis, or n=82 for the robust symmetric analysis.

For the Dimension Vista TSH assay, the sample distribution for infant subjects was highly positively skewed. As permitted by CLSI EP28-A3, the actual results were natural log transformed to produce a well-fitted normal distribution. The infant reference intervals were then calculated using the robust symmetric method on the log transformed data. The reference interval was confirmed with two simulated reference intervals (nonparametric and robust symmetric). Each simulated reference interval was estimated as the means of the 95% upper and lower bounds from 1000 data sets. In each case, a normal distribution was fitted to the actual results, with either n=120 for the non-parametric analysis, or n=82 for the robust symmetric analysis.

Performance Characteristics 8.

The inclusion of pediatric reference intervals in the Instructions for Use (Package Inserts) does not necessitate the collection of additional analytical performance data as no changes were made to the reagents. Therefore, all analytical performance data previously reviewed for the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays continue to apply to these assays. All performance data is cross-referenced to the predicate 510(k) submissions for the FT4 and TSH assays (K053531 and K060090).

Specifically, the following studies are not needed for the purpose of this submission:

  • . Precision/Reproducibility
  • l Linearity
  • . Calibrator/Assay Traceability
  • l Calibrator/Assay Stability
  • Assay Cut-off
  • . Method Comparison
  • . Matrix Comparison
  • Sensitivity (Detection Limits, LoB, LoD, LoQ) .
  • Analytical Specificity I

9. Shelf-Life

The inclusion of pediatric reference intervals in the Instructions for Use (Package Inserts) does not necessitate the collection of additional stability data as no changes were made to the reagents. Therefore, all stability methods, acceptance criteria and data previously reviewed for the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays continue to apply to these assays.

Specifically, the following stability studies are not needed for the purpose of this submission:

  • I Shelf Life Stability
  • . Onboard Stabilitv
  • I Open Vial Stability

10. Conclusions

The Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays with pediatric reference intervals are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays.

9

No changes were made to the reagents. The inclusion of pediatric reference intervals in the Instructions for Use (Package Inserts) does not require a change in the device design or a change in the manufacturing process.

The addition of pediatric reference intervals for the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays is further supported by the following rationale:

    1. Testing of pediatric patients is within the established indications for use in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease), as described in 21 CFR §862.1695 and 21 CFR §862.1690.
    1. The newly-established pediatric reference intervals are either within or are above the previously-established reference intervals for euthyroid (normal thyroid) adult populations and they are within the analytical measuring ranges of the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays. Therefore, the Dimension Vista® FT4 and TSH assays have appropriate analytical performance to test pediatric patients.
