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

The study was conducted across three clinical sites. The data provenance is not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin), nor is it specified whether the data was retrospective or prospective. However, it involved "stained samples," implying real patient data.

  • HER2/neu (4B5): 357 stained samples
  • PR (1E2): 385 stained samples
  • ER (SP1): 427 stained samples
  • Ki67 (30-9): 373 stained samples

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

  • Number of Experts: Three (3) pathologists.
  • Qualifications: "Pathologist that followed the recommendations of the Ventana user insertions for the different panel antibodies." This implies they are qualified experts in immunohistochemical analysis. Specific experience levels (e.g., years of experience) are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The ground truth was established by manual evaluation through microscope eyepieces performed by three different pathologists. The document refers to "comparison to the measures of agreement test of conventional manual evaluation through the microscope eyepieces, performed by pathologist." It then presents "Pooled Results; Frequency distribution of agreement of Manual versus GenASIs HiPath IHC Family." This indicates that the manual reads by the three pathologists were likely combined to form a consensus or reference standard, against which the device's results were compared. An explicit adjudication method like "2+1" or "3+1" is not detailed, but the pooling of results suggests a form of consensus was used to derive the "Manual analysis" column in the tables.


5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

The document describes a comparison study where "manual evaluation through the microscope eyepieces, performed by pathologist" was compared to the device's analysis. However, it does not present a MRMC comparative effectiveness study in the sense of evaluating how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance. Instead, it evaluates the agreement between the standalone AI device and the human readers' manual interpretations. There is no mention of human readers using the AI as assistance and then assessing their improved performance.


6. Standalone Performance Study

Yes, a standalone performance study was conducted. The "Analytical Performance" section details the "agreement rates of the comparison between manual and GenASIs HiPath IHC Family system statistical test results." This directly presents the device's performance in categorizing samples (Negative/Positive) against the ground truth established by manual pathological analysis, without human-in-the-loop during the device's diagnostic output generation.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Expert Consensus: The ground truth for the test set was established through "conventional manual evaluation through the microscope eyepieces, performed by pathologist that followed the recommendations of the Ventana user insertions for the different panel antibodies." This indicates that the ground truth was based on the consensus or established interpretations of qualified pathologists.


8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the training set. The "Analytical Performance" section focuses on the validation study (test set).


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

As the training set sample size is not specified, neither is the method for establishing its ground truth. However, given the context of a medical device submission, it would be expected that if a machine learning model was developed, the training data would also be expert-annotated.

§ 864.1860 Immunohistochemistry reagents and kits.

(a)
Identification. Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.(b)
Classification of immunohistochemistry devices. (1) Class I (general controls). Except as described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, these devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements in part 807, subpart E of this chapter. This exemption applies to IHC's that provide the pathologist with adjunctive diagnostic information that may be incorporated into the pathologist's report, but that is not ordinarily reported to the clinician as an independent finding. These IHC's are used after the primary diagnosis of tumor (neoplasm) has been made by conventional histopathology using nonimmunologic histochemical stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin. Examples of class I IHC's are differentiation markers that are used as adjunctive tests to subclassify tumors, such as keratin.(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.
(3) Class III (premarket approval). IHC's intended for any use not described in paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section.
(c)
Date of PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is required for any device described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 864.3.
