Device Description

The cobas® CT/NG Tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are based on two major processes: (1) automated sample preparation to obtain nucleic acids, including CT and NG DNA; (2) simultaneous PCR amplification of target DNA sequences using both CT and NG specific complementary primer pairs and real-time detection of cleaved fluorescent-labeled CT and NG specific oligonucleotide detection probes. Internal control, containing CT and NG DNA, is added to all samples during automated sample preparation and is amplified and detected simultaneously with each sample to monitor the entire process.

The Roche Molecular Systems (RMS) CT/NG Tests consist of six reagent kits:

  • cobas® 4800 System Sample Preparation Kit .
  • cobas® 4800 CT/NG v2.0 Amplification/Detection Kit (cobas® CT/NG v 2.0 Test) .
  • cobas® 4800 CT/NG Amplification/Detection Kit (cobas® CT/NG Test) .
  • cobas® 4800 CT/NG Controls Kit .
  • cobas® 4800 System Wash Buffer Kit .
  • cobas® 4800 System Control Diluent Kit .
  • cobas® 4800 System Liquid Cytology Preparation Kit .

Sample Collection Kits to be used for the CT/NG Tests are:

  • cobas® PCR Female Swab Sample Kit .
  • cobas® PCR Urine Sample Kit .
  • PreservCyt® (Hologic, Inc.) (only for cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test) .

The cobas® CT/NG Tests utilize the cobas® 4800 System for automated sample preparation and automated amplification and detection. The cobas® 4800 system software integrates the sample preparation with nucleic acid amplification and detection to generate test results.

This platform consists of modular hardware components that are linked by a dedicated network. The major hardware components of the cobas 4800 system are shown in Figure 1:

  • cobas x 480 instrument (for automatic sample preparation) .
  • cobas z 480 analyzer (for automatic amplification and detection using real-time PCR) t
  • Control Unit with cobas® 4800 software .
  • Assay reagents .
  • (Optional) Communication through a firewall with a Laboratory Information System . (LIS) and/or intranet for LIS and/or telecommunications

The cobas " 4800 System is controlled by the cobas 4800 System software and is the primary interface for operators to access the cobas® 4800 system. It allows operators to manage test orders, operate the instruments, report test results, and manage data.

The software is designed according to IVD guidelines and provides the interface between the user and the system. Each instrument has its own internal instrument control software, which is not accessible to the user. The cobas 4800 System software will communicate with the instrument software to execute the run.

The user is able to enter specimen test orders either manually (via the integrated work order editor) or automatically (when connected to an LIS system). A software wizard will guide the user through the necessary steps to perform a run (i.e. choose a test, load samples, load reagents and consumables, and handle error conditions).

The cobas 6 4800 System maintains positive identification for each specimen during processing and analysis on the cobas x 480 instrument and the cobas z 480 analyzer through the use of barcodes on specimen vials. Controls are also identified and tracked via barcodes. Samples are processed on the cobas x 480 and then transferred to a barcoded PCR microwell plate containing master mix reagent. The plate is then transferred to the cobas z 480 analyzer for PCR amplification and detection. The software tracks the transfer time, and will invalidate the run if the plate is not transferred within 90 minutes.

The cobas z 480 analyzer measures the generated raw fluorescence signal and sends the data to the cobas 4800 software. The software processes the raw fluorescence data using data analysis algorithms, determines validity, and outputs the results. When the run is complete. the system allows the user to view, print, export the results, or upload to LIS.

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

Limit of Detection (LOD) regression testing was used to verify that the migration of the cobas CT/NG Test (running on cobas 4800 SR1.1) and the cobas CT/NG v2.0 Test (running on cobas 4800 SR 1.2) to cobas 4800 SR2.1 did not affect the performance of the tests.

A total of 10 runs, generating up to 90 replicates for each of six levels, were tested with each software version. The 95% confidence intervals of the Limit of Detection by Probit analysis for both test were overlapping for the different software versions, indicating equivalent levels of sensitivity for CT and NG when using the cobas CT/NG Tests with SR2.1. Results are summarized in Table 9 and Table 10.

INTRODUCTION 1.

This Special 510(k) addresses software system changes to the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) cleared on December 2nd, 2013 and the cobas® CT/NG Test cleared on January 24 2012 (K110923).

The software system related changes to the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) and the cobas® CT/NG Test tests are limited to the modification of the core software and the related required migration to software system version 2.1. There are no changes to the diagnostic sample processing and data analysis, the Intended Use, the reagents, the technology or the design of the two CT/NG Tests. In the following sections the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) and the cobas® CT/NG Test (K110923) will also be referred to as the CT/NG Tests.

While this Special 510(k) addresses the migration of the CT/NG Test to this new software architecture, other Tests, e.g. cobas® HPV Test, will also be migrated.

2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The cobas® CT/NG Tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are based on two major processes: (1) automated sample preparation to obtain nucleic acids, including CT and NG DNA; (2) simultaneous PCR amplification of target DNA sequences using both CT and NG specific complementary primer pairs and real-time detection of cleaved fluorescent-labeled CT and NG specific oligonucleotide detection probes. Internal control, containing CT and NG DNA, is added to all samples during automated sample preparation and is amplified and detected simultaneously with each sample to monitor the entire process.

Image /page/5/Figure/2 description: This image shows a diagram of the cobas 4800 system. The system includes the cobas x 480 instrument for sample preparation and the cobas z 480 analyzer for amplification and detection. The system also includes a control unit with cobas 4800 software, a network printer, a firewall, and a laboratory information system (LIS).

Figure 1: cobas 4800 System Hardware Components

The cobas " 4800 System is controlled by the cobas 4800 System software and is the primary interface for operators to access the cobas® 4800 system. It allows operators to manage test orders, operate the instruments, report test results, and manage data.

The software is designed according to IVD guidelines and provides the interface between the user and the system. Each instrument has its own internal instrument control software, which is not accessible to the user. The cobas 4800 System software will communicate with the instrument software to execute the run.

The user is able to enter specimen test orders either manually (via the integrated work order editor) or automatically (when connected to an LIS system). A software wizard will guide the user through the necessary steps to perform a run (i.e. choose a test, load samples, load reagents and consumables, and handle error conditions).

The cobas 6 4800 System maintains positive identification for each specimen during processing and analysis on the cobas x 480 instrument and the cobas z 480 analyzer through the use of

6

barcodes on specimen vials. Controls are also identified and tracked via barcodes. Samples are processed on the cobas x 480 and then transferred to a barcoded PCR microwell plate containing master mix reagent. The plate is then transferred to the cobas z 480 analyzer for PCR amplification and detection. The software tracks the transfer time, and will invalidate the run if the plate is not transferred within 90 minutes.

The cobas z 480 analyzer measures the generated raw fluorescence signal and sends the data to the cobas 4800 software. The software processes the raw fluorescence data using data analysis algorithms, determines validity, and outputs the results. When the run is complete. the system allows the user to view, print, export the results, or upload to LIS.

cobas 4800 System Workflow 1.1.

The basic workflow on the cobas® 4800 System is outlined below.

Barcoded primary specimen containers (e.g., PreservCyt vials) are opened by the user and placed in a sample rack (alternatively barcoded secondary tubes can be loaded).

  • The user first selects the desired test to be performed. After the test is selected, the 1. cobas 4800 software guides the user in performing the steps required to perform a run using a "wizard" style interface.
    1. The sample carriers are loaded onto the cobas x 480 Instrument. As the specimens are loaded, the instrument scans the specimen barcodes and automatically creates a work order list.
  • If the system is connected to an LIS. the test orders are automatically applied to each 3. specimen. If the system is not connected to an LIS, the user manually selects the test orders in the work order list.
  • The user then loads the required consumables and reagents for the test orders, then selects 4. to start the automated sample preparation on the cobas x 480 Instrument.
  • Automated sample preparation on the cobas x 480 consists of automated sample DNA 5. extraction and PCR microwell plate setup. After sample DNA extraction is finished, the

7

cobas x 480 Instrument prepares the PCR microwell plate by pipetting working master mix into the microwell plate and then adding specimen eluate to the plate.

    1. The user removes the plate from the cobas x 480 Instrument and manually seals it with a pressure activated sealing film.
    1. The PCR microwell plate is now ready for amplification and detection. The user seals and transfers the plate to the cobas z 480 analyzer.

Current cobas® 4800 System Software 1.2.

In the current version of the cobas 4800 system software, the tests are integrated with the main software:

  • Software Release (SR) 1.1 includes the cobas CT/NG test, ટ્વ.
  • Software Release (SR) 1.2 includes the cobas CT/NG v2.0 test b.

The differences between the previously cleared cobas® CT/NG Test (K110923) and the cobase CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) are limited to the modification of the sample preparation workflow (see Table 1) which required an update of the cobas® 4800 system software to software release 1.2. There are no differences in the reagents or the design between the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test and the cobas® CT/NG Test.

3. INTENDED USE

As mentioned. the intended use for both CT/NG Tests will not change due to the transition to cobas 4800 system release 2.1 software.

Currently the intended use for the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) is defined as follows:

The cobas" CT/NG v2.0 Test is an automated, in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) DNA in urogenital specimens. The Test utilizes the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in male and female urine, self-collected vaginal swab specimens (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab specimens, and endocervical swab specimens, all collected in cobas PCR Media (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.), and cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt® solution. This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of chlamydial and gonococcal disease in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.

The cobas® PCR Female Swab Sample Kit is used to collect and transport endocervical and vaginal swab specimens. The cobas® PCR Media serves as a nucleic acid stabilizing transport and storage medium for gynecological specimens. Use this collection kit only with either the cobas® CT/NG Test or the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test.

The cobas® PCR Urine Sample Kit is used to collect and transport urine specimens. The cobas® PCR Media serves as a nucleic acid stabilizing transport and storage medium for urine specimens. Use this collection kit only with either the cobas® CT/NG Test or the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test.

Currently the intended use for the cobas® CT/NG Test (K110923) is defined as follows:

The cobas® CT/NG Test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test that utilizes the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and nucleic acid hybridization for the qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) DNA to aid in the diagnosis of chlamydial

9

and gonococcal disease. The test may be used with vaginal swab specimens self-collected in a clinical setting and male urine from both symptomatic individuals. Specimens to be tested should be collected in cobas® PCR Media.

The cobas® PCR Female Swab Sample Kit is used to collect and transport self-collected vaginal swab specimens in a clinical setting. The cobas® PCR Media serves as a nucleic acid stabilizing transport and storage medium for gynecological specimens. Use this collection kit only with the cobas® CT/NG Test. NOTE: This collection kit should not be used for collection of alternative gynecological specimens.

The cobas® PCR Urine Sample Kit is used to collect and transport male urine specimens. The cobas® PCR Media serves as a nucleic acid stabilizing transport and storage medium for urine specimens. Use this collection kit only with the cobas® CT/NG Test.

Note: This collection kit should not be used for collection of female urine specimens.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 4.

The primary technological characteristics and intended use of the RMS cobas CT/NG Tests with software system version 2.1 are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed nucleic acid amplification tests intended for the qualitative detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG).

As indicated in Table 2, the RMS cobas® CT/NG Tests with SW v.2.1 are substantially equivalent to significant characteristics of the identified predicate device, the currently cleared cobas® CT/NG Tests (K132270 and K110923). The fundamental scientific technology of the proposed devices is unchanged from the legally marketed device (predicate).

bbas® CT/NG Test and cobas® CT/NG Test, version 2.0

12

In summary, the intended use, technology, and functionality of the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test and cobas CT/NG Test with software system version 2.1 are identical to their predicate devices.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CHANGE 5.

The cobas® 4800 system is an integrated platform that can automatically perform qualitative in vitro nucleic acid amplification tests.

As mentioned in the current versions of the cobas 4800 system software, the tests are integrated with the main software (Figure 2):

  • Version 1.1 included the cobas HPV and cobas CT/NG test, a.
  • Version 1.2 cobas CT/NG v2.0 test b.

The current 1.1 or 1.2 software architecture (see Figure 2) is not amenable to a "plug and play" model in which different analytical test packages, e.g., CT/NG, HPV, can be added without reprogramming more fundamental core or instrument management systems. For the cobas® 4800 system release 2.1 (SR2.1), the software has been updated to support a modular "plug and play" concept for installing tests on the system.

Test specific setting such as the sample preparation process, the PCR thermal cycling profile, and data analysis algorithms will remain the same for each assay; however its organization will be changed to allow addition or modification of assays without compromising the rest of the system software.

Instead of being written into the system software, the software was modularized such that all test specific items were separated into separate assay specific analysis packages (AP) for each test. (see Figure 2: Software Architecture for version 1.x of the cobas® 4800 Software

The diagram includes components such as the Work Order Editor, WOF (Work Order File), LIS (Laboratory Information System), cobas x 480 Instrument Handler, cobas z 480 Instrument Handler, and REPORT. The software processes tests (Test 1 and Test 2) with configurations for Test, Algorithm, PCR Profile, and SPM (Sample Processing Module).

The diagram also shows the flow of information between the different components, including WOF, REPORT, and LIS.

Figure 3: Software Architecture for version 2.1 of the cobas® 4800 Software

As outlined above Roche intends to upgrade the cobas " 4800 software from its present version, 1.1 for cobas® CT/NG Test (K110923) and 1.2 for the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test (K132270) to software version 2.1. While the primary purpose for this upgrade of the software system is to consolidate existing tests onto one platform and to facilitate menu addition, other changes were also implemented, as shown in Table 3.

Verification, Validation and regression testing for these changes were performed using both CT/NG tests. Testing has shown that these changes do not impact the sample preparation process, PCR cycling profile, or data analysis of the CT/NG tests that were consolidated onto the version 2.1 platform.

The upgrade to 2.1 will involve the changes shown on Table 3.

Table 3: Changes to cobas 4800 Software

ChangeDescription
1Consolidated PlatformUpdate software architecture to support a "plug and play"
environment for adding different assays (platform menu
expansion). Migration of existing tests onto a common system
software platform.
2Microsoft Windows 7Update software to run on Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System
since Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft
3Integrated Work Order EditorSpecimen barcodes automatically scanned into the Work Order as
they are loaded onto the x480. Removes the redundancy of having
the user manually create a work order by scanning specimen
barcodes, then loading specimens onto the x480 (where the
barcodes are scanned by the x480), and then checking that
barcodes on the Work Order and what is loaded on the x480
match.
4Integrated CT/NG Workflow SelectionThe CT/NG or CT/NG Cytology workflow and sample preparation
processing is automatically chosen based on specimen types.
5Tip Tracking and CountingAllows use of partially filled tip racks and checks for adequate
number of tips required for the run. Previously, user had to always
load ten full tip racks regardless of run size.
6Early Specimen RemovalAllows user to unload specimens after they have been transferred
to the Deep Well Plate.
7Flexible Run SizesEnables use of multiple master mix size 24 vials during PCR plate
setup (to also support 48 and 72 sample run sizes). Previously,
only 24 and 96 batch sizes were supported.
8Result View and Report Layout
ImprovementsRedesigned result view to support menu expansion and improved
the report layout.
9Recovery WorkflowAllows regeneration of work order from existing run in case of
unexpected need to recover a run using remnant eluate prepared
by the cobas x 480. Previously, this work order had to be created
manually.
10Generic calculation engineConsolidation of tests onto a common platform required that the
algorithm components be migrated to the generic calculation
engine used for SR2.1. The same data analysis algorithms,
algorithm parameters, and final results call tables are used.
11LIS ImprovementsImprove LIS connection communication.

These changes are described in further detail below.

Consolidated Platform 1.3.

The current version 1.x software architecture (Figure 2 above) is not amenable to a "plug and play" model for test menu addition. New tests cannot be added without reprogramming more fundamental core or instrument management systems.

For cobas® 4800 system software version 2.1, the code has been reorganized to consolidate common functions and to organize the diagnostic test specific functions into separate modules (Figure 2: Software Architecture for version 1.x of the cobas® 4800 Software

Image /page/16/Figure/5 description: The image shows a diagram of the cobas 4800 software. The diagram includes the work order editor, WOF, and LIS on the left side. The cobas 4800 software is in the center, with Test 1 and Test 2, Test Config, Algo Config, PCR Profile, and SPM. The cobas x 480 and cobas z 480 instrument handlers are at the bottom, and the LIS and report are on the right side.

Figure 3 above).

  • The cobas 4800 Core represents processes common to cobas 4800 instrument . function
  • Work packages WP1 -WP4 represent consolidated work flow processes that are shared . among particular subsets of assays, for example, a common loading sequence is used between HPV and CT/NG

17

  • Test 1 Test 15 represent individual diagnostic tests and contain the test specific data . analysis settings (note, for existing tests such as CT/NG, these test specific settings are the same in version 1.x and cobas 4800 System Release 2.1.

18

1.4. Microsoft Windows 7

Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. The software used by the cobas® 4800 system was updated for Windows 7.

Integrated Work Order Editor 1.5.

The current version 1.x workflow involves the use of a separate Work Order Editor tool which requires the operator to manually scan individual specimen barcodes and create a Work Order file. Then the operator uses the cobas® 4800 software to select the manually created work order file. and then load the specimens onto the cobas x 480. The cobas x 480 then scans the specimen barcodes and verifies the loaded specimen barcodes against the selected Work Order file. In version 2.1, integration of the Work Order Editor eliminates manual input (which is prone to human error) and, since the Work Order is automatically created from the loaded specimens, eliminates redundant scanning and the possibility of a mismatch between the Work Order and the loaded specimens.

These changes only affect the test ordering step, which precedes any functional assay processing steps. Hence, assay performance is not impacted by this workflow efficiency improvement.

Integrated CT/NG Workflow Selection 1.6.

When initiating a run in version 1.x, the user must choose either the "CT/NG" workflow or the "CT/NG Cytology" workflow. In version 2.1, the user simply chooses "CT/NG" and the workflow (sample preparation process) is automatically chosen based upon the specimen types that are loaded.

1.7. Tip Tracking and Counting

Currently, to ensure that there are enough tips for a run, the user must always load 10 completely full tip racks when setting up a run. Tip counting calculates the number of tips needed for the run (based on number of specimens) and informs the user to load at least that many tips. Tip tracking allows the operator to load partially filled tip racks (e.g. remnant unused tips from a rack used in a previous run). Tip counting plus tip tracking allows the system to verify that sufficient tips have been loaded to perform the run. These changes are implemented in the consumables loading

19

step, which precedes any functional assay processing steps. Hence, assay performance is not impacted by this consumables usage efficiency improvement.

1.8. Early Specimen Removal

Currently, once specimens are loaded onto the cobas x 480, they cannot be accessed for other laboratory usage (e.g. other diagnostic testing) until the cobas x 480 completes the sample preparation process. This new feature provides an option to unload the specimen vials after required test volumes have been transferred to the deep well plate for cobas x 480 processing. Early removal of the specimen vials does not impact assay performance since the sample extraction process on the plate is not affected.

1.9. Flexible Run Sizes

Currently, PCR plate setup only supports run sizes of either up to 24 samples or up to 96 samples. This results in inefficient usage of the master mix reagents, since a run with 25 or more samples requires using the 96 sample size master mix reagents. This change enables the use of multiple sets of 24 size master mix reagents. PCR plate setup now supports up to 24, 48, and 72 samples (using one, two, or three sets of 24 size master mix reagents) and up to 96 samples (using one set of 96 size master mix reagents). The use of multiple sets of master mix reagents does not change the sample preparation processing steps. Hence assay performance is not affected.

1.10. Result View and Report Layout Improvements

The Result View was adapted to accommodate consolidation of assays to the test menu of the cobas® 4800 system. For example, instead using test specific column names (e.g. "CT Result" or "NG Result") with generic result values ("POS" or "NEG"), a generic column name was used ("Result 1") with more descriptive results ("POS CT" or "NEG NG"). Report Layouts were improved by organizing the information into separate test details and test results tables. These changes only re-organize the display/presentation of the results and hence assay performance is not affected.

20

1.11. Recovery Workflow

In cases where the PCR thermo-cycling process was interrupted or failed, the current Version 1.x software includes an optional workflow to re-run specimens ("PCR Only Run") by manually setting up the PCR microwell plate using remnant eluate (from the deep-well plate) and newly prepared master mix. This process also involved manually creating the "PCR Only" work order, which had to match the original well to well plate layout exactly.

This feature is retained in the version 2.1 software, but has been renamed and improved. To avoid confusion with workflows that involve manual sample preparation followed by automated PCR ("PCR Only"), this rescue workflow has been renamed as "Recovery Run". To facilitate this workflow, creation of the recovery work order is now automatically generated from the run that is being recovered. These changes do not affect any assay functional processing steps. Hence assay performance is not affected.

1.12. Generic Calculation Engine

To consolidate all tests onto the version 2.1 software, algorithm components for each test had to be migrated to a common (generic) calculation engine. The same data analysis algorithms, algorithm parameters, and final results determination tables were retained for each migrated test. Results outputs were verified to be the same before and after migration.

1.13. LIS Improvements

Currently, the version 1.x software merely outputs a results file for LIS processing. After outputting the file, no further actions or acknowledgements are taken by the cobas® 4800 system. The LIS interface has been improved in version 2.1 to acknowledge results upload and receipt by the LIS. It also now monitors and displays the LIS connection status. Initially, the version 2.1 system will support the ASTM protocol and will be updated later to also support the HL7 protocol.

21

2. DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

The cobas® 4800 system version 2.1 is an update to an existing system. Specifically, this was a change only to the cobas® 4800 system software, which was updated as described in section 1. The design and development approach was based on this scope.

The scope of the design and development effort focused on the change to the software:

  • The cobas x 480 instrument hardware did not change and did not require revalidation. . New instrument firmware and Hamilton Phoenix software was introduced to support the Windows 7 operating system. This firmware and software was developed, tested, and released by Hamilton Company, These software components were then incorporated into the cobas 4800 system SR 2.1 configuration and tested as part of the Roche component and system-level verifications.
  • The cobas z 480 analyzer hardware component did not change and did not require ● re-validation.
  • The control unit (computer) hardware did not change, however a new Windows 7 OS . was introduced and used as part of the configurations used during Roche component and system level verifications.
  • The cobas® 4800 consumables did not change and did not require re-validation .
  • The cobas® 4800 assay specific reagents did not change and did not require re-. validation
  • The cobas® 4800 software was changed and re-validated at the unit, component, and . system level for both the core system and the migrated test analysis packages (AP)

Technical performance verification regression testing was also done for the migrated cobas® CT/NG and cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Tests.

22

System Development Environment 2.1.

The Systems Development team at Roche Molecular Systems (RMS) in Pleasanton, CA coordinated the activities necessary for successful development, verification and validation of the cobas® 4800 system and the cobas® CT/NG and cobas® CT/NG v2.0 analysis packages. These activities included (but were not limited to) overall project management, systems development, verification and validation, and clinical trials.

System components were developed and tested by Roche Molecular Systems (Pleasanton, CA), Roche Diagnostics Ltd. (Rotkreuz, Switzerland), and Hamilton Bonaduz AG (Bonaduz, Switzerland):

  • Roche Molecular Systems (Pleasanton, CA) was responsible for development and . design of the Sample Preparation Method (SPM) which is incorporated into cobas® 4800 System Software.
  • Roche Diagnostics Ltd. (Rotkreuz, Switzerland) was responsible for design of the . cobas® 4800 System Software, the associated computer Control Unit. and for design and manufacture of cobas z 480 analyzer and associated consumables.
  • Hamilton Bonaduz AG (Bonaduz, Switzerland) was responsible for design and . manufacture of the cobas x 480 instrument and associated consumables.

All versions of cobas® 4800 software and all components of cobas z 480 analyzer software were developed and controlled at Roche Diagnostics Ltd. (Rotkreuz, Switzerland). The cobas x 480 Instrument Control software (Hamilton Microlab STAR IVD Software) was developed by Hamilton Bonaduz AG (Bonaduz, Switzerland) as part of the Phoenix Software System.

23

DEVICE RISK ASSESSMENT 3.

Risk assessment was performed throughout the development of the cobas® 4800 system, starting with assessment of Customer Requirements, and continuing through verification and validation of the final product.

The following general methodology was used for risk assessment:

  • Identify and analyze hazards .
  • . Mitigate the risk associated with each identified hazard
  • Verify the effectiveness of each risk mitigation .

Analysis of each identified hazard included the manner in which the risk associated with that hazard would be mitigation was either by hardware control, software control, or by user-controlled processes specified in product inserts and product labeling, the Operators Manual, and training.

The FMEA process was conducted in a series of team meetings, in which the project team decided whether each identified risk was acceptable and whether the mitigation of an identified risk introduced the possibility of new risks. All potential hazards were initially ranked, based on severity (impact and magnitude of risk), occurrence (potential frequency of failure), and potential for detection of the failure or hazards that were identified included risks to patients, risks to users and operators, risks to service and maintenance people, and risks to the environment.

The level of risk associated with each identified hazard was classified as either Green, Yellow, or Red for the intended use of the cobas® 4800 system, as described in Table 4.

24

Table 4: Classification of Risk Levels

Risk LevelRange of Risk (Determined from Risk Table)
GreenThe respective feature corresponds to the realized state of the art of comparable products and,
if applicable, to respective product standards. Thus the residual risk is acceptable.
YellowIt has to be investigated whether all planned measures of risk reduction have been
implemented and the level of safety obtained corresponds to the realized state of the art of
comparable products and, if applicable, to respective product standards. Rationale for risk
acceptance has to be documented in the Risk Management Report.
RedA (residual) risk in this range is not acceptable unless medical value was evaluated against
risks. Furthermore, resulting risk needs to be approved by Senior Area Management.

A summary of the risk categories before and after mitigation are given in Table 6 for cobas® 4800 System Release 2.1 : Core and the CT/NG Tests respectively (risks for CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 are shared and identical).

Final risk assessments were performed for the cobas® 4800 system and CT/NG tests after hazard analysis and risk mitigations were completed. These final risk assessments identified no intolerable risks. The overall level of risk associated with each instrument, software or component was determined to be acceptable for its intended use in the cobas® 4800 system.

REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS 4.

4.1. Overview of Requirements Management

Requirements for the cobas® 4800 system were created and managed according to guidelines outlined in "Customer and Product Requirements Management" [RMS SOP 90.01.18].

Customer Requirements for the cobas® 4800 system are based on customer feedback and represent expectations of the customers. The system-related customer expectations plus the business needs for the cobas® 4800 system were formalized into a list of requirements.

System Product Requirements were primarily derived from and traced to the Customer Requirements. Additional System Product Requirements were derived from sources such as hazard assessments, regulatory requirements, safety requirements, and Roche internal needs. Requirements and specifications for the cobas® 4800 system were created and maintained in accordance with the project requirements management plan (DH-309-020). The requirements management plan describes requirements management activities and responsibilities for the cobas® 4800 system.

4.2. cobas® 4800 System Product Requirements and Decomposition to Lower Level Requirements/Design Specifications - Overview

Requirements and specifications for hardware and software were derived from the cobas® 4800 System Product Requirements. Hardware requirements were designated as Technical Requirements (TRO), while software requirements were designated as either Software Requirements Specifications (either SRS or SRO) or as Technical Requirements (TRO).

Design Specifications for the cobas® 4800 system were created from the Technical Requirements (TRQ) and Software Requirements Specifications (SRS or SRQ). Detailed Design Specifications were created from the corresponding Design Specification for some subsystems or units, depending on the level of detail contained in that Design Specification. An overview of the relationship between the different documentation levels is provided in Figure 4.

26

Image /page/26/Figure/2 description: The image shows a flow chart of the hardware, requirements/specifications, and software development process. The process starts with customer requirements, which leads to system product requirements (SYSPR). The system product requirements then lead to technical and software requirements specifications (TRQ and SRQ). Finally, the technical and software requirements specifications lead to subsystem and unit design specifications (SSP and USP). Each of the requirements/specifications stages leads to a testing stage.

Relationship between Requirements, Specifications and Verification Testing Figure 4:

5. TRACEABILITY ANALYSIS

5.1. Methodology for Traceability Analysis

Traceability between requirements, identified hazards, and validation testing has been established using several trace matrices. Gap analysis was performed on each trace matrix to ensure that each higher-level requirement or specification traces to the next lower level requirement or specification. and that each requirement or specification also traces to some verification or validation activity. Identified hazards that are mitigated by implementation of certain requirements are also traced from the risk to the mitigating requirement. The traceability matrices are updated and maintained throughout the development lifecycle of the cobas® 4800 system to ensure traceability between requirements and design, requirements and testing, and between requirements and risk analysis and the related mitigation

27

The overall requirements and the traceability for the core system are summarized in cobas® 4800 System Release 2.1: Traceability Management File Index (DH-309-030). Traceability for the CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 tests are summarized in cobas® 4800 System Release 2.1: CT/NG Traceability Management File Index (DH-252-313).

5.2. Verification and Validation Testing

Verification and validation testing was conducted as part of the development of the cobas® 4800 core system version 2.1 and for each of the cobas® CT/NG and cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages (APs).

In general, verification testing was performed at the system level, component level, and unit level to ensure the core system and the CT/NG APs function as expected and are safe for commercial IVD use. A general description of the methodologies used for testing is given below and an overview is provided in Figure 4:

  • System Level Testing: The process of testing the integrated hardware/software system . and reagents to verify that the system meets its Product Requirements. This type of testing also provides assurance that the system is ready for end-user operation.
  • Component / Integration Level Testing: The process of testing software components . together to evaluate their interactions before the entire system configuration has been integrated.
  • Unit / Module Level Testing: The process of testing an individual software component. This testing is performed independent of the use of the component with other components or in an integrated system.

An overview of the type of testing performed for requirements and specifications is given in Figure 4 above.

28

SYSTEM LEVEL VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION TESTING 5.1.

System level testing was performed at Roche Molecular Systems (RMS) in Pleasanton, California. Testing was carried out on the cobas® 4800 System Core Software Release 2.1 and the cobas® CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages. Verification and validation was performed across multiple testing campaigns and is summarized in Table 7.

System Level Verification and Validation Testing Table 7:

The scope of the system level test campaigns was to verify that system product requirements were successfully implemented and to verify that observed anomalies were either corrected or accepted as known issues, with no adverse impact on use of the system. Testing of product requirements mitigating risks was also conducted. If a particular product requirement passed testing, then the risk was deemed successfully mitigated. System level risk mitigation testing was captured within the plans and reports completed for each testing campaign.

29

All planned system level testing for the cobas® 4800 System Core Software Release 2.1 and the cobas® CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages was completed successfully.

COMPONENT AND UNIT LEVEL VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION TESTING 5.2.

Component and unit level testing of the cobas® 4800 System Core Software Release 2.1 and the cobas® CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages was performed at Roche Diagnostics Ltd. (RDI, Rotkreuz, Switzerland).

Sample preparation method (SPM) component testing for the cobas® CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages was performed at Roche Molecular System (Pleasanton, California). The SPM consists of the instrument script that defines the sample preparation process (i.e., extraction, purification, and preparation of target nucleic acid) that is performed on the cobas x 480 instrument.

Component and unit level verification was performed across multiple testing campaigns at both Roche sites. Relevant component and unit level verification reports are listed in Table 8 below. All planned component level and unit level testing for the cobas® 4800 System Core Software Release 2.1 and the cobas® CT/NG and CT/NG v2.0 Analysis Packages was completed successfully.

CT/NG TEST TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION 5.3.

Limit of Detection (LOD) regression testing was used to verify that the migration of the cobas CT/NG Test (running on cobas 4800 SR1.1) and the cobas CT/NG v2.0 Test (running on cobas 4800 SR 1.2) to cobas 4800 SR2.1 did not affect the performance of the tests.

A total of 10 runs, generating up to 90 replicates for each of six levels, were tested with each software version. The 95% confidence intervals of the Limit of Detection by Probit analysis for both test were overlapping for the different software versions, indicating equivalent levels of sensitivity for CT and NG when using the cobas CT/NG Tests with SR2.1. Results are summarized in Table 9 and Table 10.

UNRESOLVED ANOMALIES 5.4.

Anomaly risk assessment was performed to evaluate all formally logged anomalies and identify the appropriate mitigation measure as necessary. Anomalies that were identified and corrected before starting formal testing of the final system configuration were not included in the process.

Unresolved anomalies identified with each configuration of the cobas® 4800 system were deemed acceptable and did not present risk to user, process or product function.

The cobas® 4800 System and CT/NG Known Issues Lists will be provided to users of the system and they include detailed descriptions and workarounds for handling known issues which may be encountered.

5.5. USER DEFINED WORKFLOW

Customers recognize the capability of the cobas z 480 to perform general amplification and detection work in a non-IVD environment. In order to more fully utilize their equipment, some customers have requested the ability to perform both IVD and research workflows on the cobas®

32

4800 platform. To meet this request. the User Defined WorkFlow (UDF) concept was developed based on an evaluation of the potential patient safety risks. The UDF is an optional feature to the cobas® 4800 system and is installed only upon user order. The cobas® CT/NG Tests, as well as other IVD applications, are independent of this feature being available. Compatibility of the UDF software with the migration to 2.1 was verified and testing concluded that the integrity of the cobas® 4800 IVD workflows and results was not affected.

5.6. UDF NON-INTERFERENCE WITH IVD

Testing was performed with the UDF software v2.0.0 co-installed with the cobas® 4800 system release 2.1. The main purpose of the test case was to verify and validate the UDF noninterference with the cobas® 4800 IVD system. The conclusion from testing is that the UDF software does not interfere with the co-installed cobas® 4800 IVD system. Whether or not the UDF is co-installed, the cobas® 4800 IVD system meets its intended use requirements for running the HPV and CT/NG Tests.

CONCLUSION 6.

A comparison of the intended use, technological characteristics, and the results of Regression testing and non-clinical analytical performance studies demonstrate that the cobas® CT/NG v2.0 Test and the cobas® CT/NG Test with software system release 2.1 are substantially equivalent to their predicate devices.
