Intended Use

OC-Light S FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test, also known as iFOBT, immunochemical fecal occult blood test) is a qualitative test intended for the immunochemical detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) by professional laboratories and physician office laboratories. Measurement of FOB is useful as an aid to detect blood in stool when gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding may be suspected. OC-Light S FIT is recommended for use in routine physical examinations.

Device Description

OC-Light S FIT is an in vitro diagnostic device, a qualitative test designed for the immunochemical detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool specimens. OC-Light S FIT consists of a test strip, and a sampling bottle containing buffer solution. OC-Light S FIT test strip consists of a nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized mouse monoclonal antibodies specific to human hemoglobin at the test region and immobilized rabbit anti-mouse antibodies at the control region, a sample pad, a conjugate pad which contains human hemoglobin specific mouse monoclonal antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold, an absorption pad, and a plastic backing. OC-Light S FIT sampling bottle is a plastic bottle for collecting fecal sample containing 2.0 mL of extraction buffer. When the sample end of the test strip is dipped in the fecal extract, the liquid fecal extract wicks through a series of absorbent materials and contacts colloidal gold conjugated with monoclonal antibodies specific to hHb. If hHb is present in the sample, it reacts with the antibodies on the colloidal gold. When the gold conjugate with hHb reaches the test region of the membrane, it binds with the immobilized antibodies also specific to hHb to form a visible reddish/pink line. The procedural control region of the membrane contains immobilized anti-mouse antibodies that capture the conjugate independent of the presence of the hHb, thereby always producing a distinct reddish/pink line. The reddish/pink line in the procedural control region demonstrates the validity of the test, and assures the operator that the device is working properly.

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

The document describes several "test sets" for different studies:

  • Cut-off Study: 147 samples (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates). Data provenance: In-house, spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Reaction Time Study: 147 samples (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates). Data provenance: In-house, spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Precision/Reproducibility Study: 147 samples (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates) per site, across three POL sites. Total for combined reproducibility: 1764 samples. Data provenance: Spiked Hb-free stool specimens shipped to US clinical coordinator for distribution to POL sites.
  • Test Kit Stability (Accelerated): 441 samples per condition (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates x 3 lots = 441). Data provenance: Spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Sample Stability: 441 samples per condition (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates x 3 lots = 441). Data provenance: Spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Test Kit Shipping Stress Test: 441 samples per condition (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates) for each day/temperature condition. Data provenance: Spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Sample Shipping Stress Test: 441 samples per condition (7 Hb concentrations x 21 replicates) for each day/temperature condition. Data provenance: Spiked Hb-free stool specimens.
  • Method Comparison Study: 953 specimens. Data provenance: Presumably clinical samples collected from Physician Office Laboratory (POL) and Professional Medical Laboratory (PML) settings. The document specifies "three POL sites and three PML sites." This suggests the data is prospective, collected at these clinical sites in the US (implied by POL/PML settings).
  • Prozone Effect, Hemoglobin Variants, Cross-Reactivity, Interference: Various spiked concentrations as described. These are laboratory-prepared samples rather than patient samples.

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

The ground truth for most of the foundational studies (cut-off, reaction time, precision, stability, interference) was established using spiked Hb-free stool specimens with known concentrations of human hemoglobin (hHb). This means the "ground truth" was inherently known by the experimental design, not determined by experts.

For the Method Comparison Study, the ground truth for clinical samples was established by the predicate device, Polymedco OC Light FOB Test. Therefore, no independent experts were used to determine the true presence or absence of FOB for these samples; the predicate device results served as the reference.

The "Intensity Reading" study involved 5 readers at one physician office laboratory grading the intensity of the test line. Their qualifications are not specified beyond being "live participant readers at a FOL." This is a qualitative assessment of the test line based on visual interpretation, not a determination of ground truth for fecal occult blood.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Given that the ground truth for most studies was based on spiked samples with known concentrations, or the predicate device in the method comparison, there was no need for an "adjudication method" in the sense of reconciling disagreements between multiple expert readers. The results were compared directly against the known concentrations or the predicate device's output.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. The primary clinical study was a method comparison study between the new device and a predicate device. This study assessed the agreement between the two devices, not the improvement of human readers with or without AI assistance. The OC-Light S FIT is a qualitative test strip, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for interpretation by human readers.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

The OC-Light S FIT is described as an "in vitro diagnostic device, a qualitative test" and a "lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay." It produces a visible reddish/pink line for positive results. This is a standalone diagnostic device where the result (presence or absence of a line) is visually interpreted by a human, but the device itself does not involve an "algorithm" or "AI" in the modern sense. Its performance as an independent assay is what was evaluated through the various studies (cut-off, precision, stability, interference, method comparison).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For Cut-off, Reaction Time, Precision/Reproducibility, Test Kit Stability, Sample Stability, Shipping Stress Tests, Hemoglobin Variants, Cross-Reactivity, Interference, Prozone Effect: The ground truth was known concentrations of human hemoglobin (hHb) in spiked, Hb-free stool specimens. This is a laboratory-controlled, artificial ground truth.
  • For the Method Comparison Study: The ground truth was established by the predicate device, Polymedco OC Light FOB Test.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not describe a "training set" as it would for a machine learning model. This device is a traditional immunoassay, not an AI/ML product. All described samples are for validation/testing of the device's performance characteristics.

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

As noted in point 8, there is no "training set" or corresponding ground truth establishment process described for this type of device.

Device Description:

OC-Light S FIT is an in vitro diagnostic device, a qualitative test designed for the immunochemical detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool specimens.

OC-Light S FIT consists of a test strip, and a sampling bottle containing buffer solution. OC-Light S FIT test strip consists of a nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized mouse monoclonal antibodies specific to human hemoglobin at the test region and immobilized rabbit anti-mouse antibodies at the control region, a sample pad, a conjugate pad which contains human hemoglobin specific mouse monoclonal antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold, an absorption pad, and a plastic backing. OC-Light S FIT sampling bottle is a plastic bottle for collecting fecal sample containing 2.0 mL of extraction buffer.

When the sample end of the test strip is dipped in the fecal extract, the liquid fecal extract wicks through a series of absorbent materials and contacts colloidal gold conjugated with monoclonal antibodies specific to hHb. If hHb is present in the sample, it reacts with the antibodies on the colloidal gold. When the gold conjugate with hHb reaches the test region of the membrane, it binds with the immobilized antibodies also specific to hHb to form a visible reddish/pink line. The procedural control region of the membrane contains immobilized anti-mouse antibodies that capture the conjugate independent of the presence of the hHb, thereby always producing a distinct reddish/pink line. The reddish/pink line in the procedural control region demonstrates the validity of the test, and assures the operator that the device is working properly.

Clinical cut-off

The clinical cut-off of OC-Light S FIT is 10 µg hemoglobin /g stool. (50 ng/mL buffer)

Controls

Internal Control: Procedural controls are included in the test device. A reddish/pink line appearing in the control region is serves as the internal procedural control. It confirms sufficient specimen volume, adequate membrane wicking and correct procedural technique.

External Control: FOBT-CHEK positive and negative controls, cleared under 510(k) 041297, are available in a separate control kit. The controls are run in the FIT in the same manner as extracted fecal samples. It is recommended that positive and negative controls be performed to verify proper test performance.

Summary of Performance Data:

Cut-off

Cut-off study was conducted in-house with one operator. Hb-free stool specimen was spiked with known levels of hHb to obtain fecal samples with seven different Hb concentrations: 0, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 400 µg/ g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, clinical cutoff), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL. Each sample was collected with twenty one OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles and twenty one Polymedco OC Light FOB Test (Predicate) sampling bottles to perform side-by-side tests for comparing the test results of the device with that of the predicate.

The test result of 50ng/mL using OC-Light S FIT was 100.0% positive. The overall agreement between the total results of OC-Light S FIT and the expected results was 99.3% (95% CI 96.2 ~ 100.0%), and the overall agreement between the total results of Polymedco OC Light FOB Test and the expected results was 97.3% (95% CI 93.1 ~ 99.3%)

The cut-off value of OC-Light S FIT was established as 10 µg hemoglobin/g stool (50 ng/mL buffer). No significant difference was observed between the results of OC-Light S FIT and the predicate Polymedco OC Light FOB Test.

Precision/Reproducibility

The repeatability and reproducibility of OC-Light S FIT was evaluated by testing twenty-one replicates of fecal samples spiked with hHb to obtain test samples with seven different Hb concentrations: 0, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 400 µg/ g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, clinical cutoff), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL.

The repeatability and reproducibility studies were conducted at three POL sites in the US. The test samples were shipped frozen from our laboratory to the clinical coordinator, where they were collated, and then distributed to the POL sites. There were no cases of invalid or indeterminate results throughout the precision studies.

Hemoglobin Variants

The ability of OC-Light S FIT to detect human hemoglobin variants was determined by testing hemoglobin-S (HbS) and hemoglobin-C (HbC) of known concentrations (0, 25, 40, 50, 75, 100, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, and 2000 ng/mL). OC-Light S FIT equivalently detected variants of hemoglobin (HbA0, HbS and HbC).

Cross-Reactivity

The following non-human hemoglobin and meat extracts were added to fecal samples with seven different hHb concentrations: 0, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 400 µg/ g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, clinical cutoff), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL. OC-Light S FIT was not interfered by any of the added substances.

of all samples were positive, demonstrating that there is no prozone effect at these hemoglobin levels.

Intensity Reading

Reader variability of OC-Light S FIT test results was characterized. Hb-free stool suspension was spiked with hHb to prepare seven different concentrations: 0, 25, 37.5, 50, 62.5, 75, and 2000 ng/mL. 35 replicates were prepared for each concentration, and were tested in a randomized and blinded fashion by 5 readers at one physician office laboratory. Each reader graded the intensity of the test line from 6 levels (Negative, Faint, 1+, 2+, 3+, and 4+). Intensity of the test line increased in correlation with the Hb concentration of samples.

Method Comparison Study with the Predicate Device

Method comparison study was conducted to determine the performance of OC-Light S FIT in Physician Office Laboratory (POL) and Professional Medical Laboratory (PML) settings. OC-Light S FIT was compared with a commercially available device, Polymedco OC Light FOB Test, using 953 specimens. The study was performed at three POL sites and three PML sites.

The overall percent agreement between the results obtained by OC-Light S FIT and the results obtained by Polymedco OC Light FOB Test was 99.9% (95% CI: 99.4 ~ 100.0%), with positive percent agreement 100.0% (95% CI: 97.0 ~ 100.0%) and negative percent agreement 99.9% (95% CI: 99.3 ~ 100.0%), demonstrating that analytical performance of OC-Light S FIT is substantially equivalent to the predicate Polymedco OC Light FOB Test.
