§ 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.

Similarities:

Intended Use:

The proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family and the legally cleared Virtuoso "14 Systems (K111543, K111869, K130515 and K111755) have the same intended use and indications for use for the following: Acquisition, image capture, management, analysis, and viewing. The proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family and the legally cleared Virtuoso "" Systems are intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the display, detection, counting, review and classification of tissues and cells of clinical interest based on particular morphology, color, intensity, size, pattern and shape.

The proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family and the legally cleared Virtuoso™ Systems are indicated as an aid to pathologists in the assessment of HER2, PR, ER and Ki67 (30-9) status in breast cancer patients.

Performance:

The proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family and the legally cleared Virtuoso™ Systems are designed for the same IVD applications (H1 sections 3 - 6) using similar hardware and software components and similar analysis tools, the pathologist has to select the ROI for the scoring algorithm (H1 sections 7, 8) and calibration and quality control has to be performed to make sure that scoring results are stable (Table 4.3 sections 10, 11).

Technology:

The proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family and the legally cleared Virtuoso™ Systems are using similar hardware and software components, designed to complement the routine workflow of a qualified pathologist in the review of IHC stained histological slides (H1 section 12).

Differences:

Intended Use: No difference

Performance:

  1. The legally cleared Virtuoso " Systems are using slide scanner for generating the digital slide while the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family is using a color camera to capture and convert the microscope's image to a digital image.

  2. Images to be processed selected from Vituoso's screen digital read image, while in the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family images for processing are selected via microscope's eyepiece (H1 section 11).

  3. Calibration and quality control processes are different in both systems (H1 sections 10, 11). 4. Legally cleared Virtuoso 100 Systems are designed for multi slide automatic loading, slide label or automatic barcode for specimen identification method must be used while the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family glass slide loading is manual and the pathologist is responsible for the slide identification (H1 section 9).

The effectiveness of the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family calibration and quality control processes were verified and validated during the clinical studies.

14

Technology:

  1. The legally cleared Virtuoso "" Systems use a slide scanner for generating the digital slide while the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family use a color camera to capture and convert the microscope's image to a digital image.

  2. Acquisition control software and illumination light sources are different and optimized to the acquisition flow and process (H1, sections 10 - 11).

  3. The Virtuoso "10 System have additional hardware components; automatic multi slides loader, slides identifier and slide scanner, as opposed to the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family that is using a magnifying microscope for manual slide capture (H1. section 12).

  • PATHWAY® anti-HER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody .
  • CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary ● Antibody assay
  • CONFIRM™ anti-Estrogen Receptor (ER) (SP1) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary . Antibody
  • CONFIRM™ anti-Ki67 (30-9) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary antibody assay ●

The user must use the staining process described in Ventana's user instructions for the above mentioned assay kits. Additionally, clinical sensitivity, clinical specificity and clinical cut-off are also related to the above mentioned assay kits (as per user instructions).

The operators shall be aware of limitations derived from the following performance characteristics:

a. Analytical Performance:

The clinical studies were based on comparison to the measures of agreement test of conventional manual evaluation through the microscope eyepieces, performed by

15

pathologist that followed the recommendations of the Ventana user insertions for the different panel antibodies and test analysis performed with the proposed GenASIs HiPath IHC Family system, using the same stained slides.

The comparison study was conducted in three clinical sites, by three different pathologists, according to Applied Spectral Imaging's protocol. The study included a total of:

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

Precision/Reproducibility: b.

Repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) studies were conducted to evaluate the variation in the performance of the automatic system between different runs of the same system and same day, between days of the same system and between systems located on different sites. Separate tests were performed for HER2/neu, ER, PR and Ki-67. For each antibody, forty (40) slides were selected, aiming to cover the samples result categories of the intended population.

The one hundred and sixty (160) slides were selected from a known pool as follows:

  • · For ER & PR slides were selected from positive, negative and around-cutoff slides to cover the entire clinically relevant range
  • · For Ki67 slides were selected from positive, negative slides to cover the entire clinically relevant range
  • · For HER2/neu slides were selected from the 4 classes of 0,1+,2+,3+.

All slides were labeled by slide index and antibody type.

Slides were evaluated by three independent pathologists and than were repeatedly evaluated

17

by the GenASIs HiPath IHC family device.

A minimal washout time between manual and GenASIs HiPath analysis was 7 days. The precision of manual and system results is reported separately.

The following factors were used for testing GenASIs HighPath family precision:

  • Run Each slide is re-evaluated three times on a same system and on a same day. i)
  • ii) Day - Each slide is re-evaluated three times on non-consecutive days (at least 5 days apart) on a same system.
  • iii) System Each slide is re-evaluated three times using different systems (at least 7 days apart).
