The Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) are firm plastic strips that contain two reagent areas to test for Microalbumin (low concentration of albumin) and creatinine in urine. Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) can be read by the Mission® U120 Urine Analyzer.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the clinical performance and acceptance criteria for the Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) device. This device is intended for the semi-quantitative measurement of albumin and creatinine in urine samples using the Mission U120 Urine Analyzer, to assist in diagnosing kidney function.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document compares the new device against a predicate device (CLINITEK Microalbumin Reagent Strips) to establish substantial equivalence. The primary performance metric presented is agreement in classifying Albumin-to-Creatinine (A:C) ratios.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
Overall exact agreement with predicate device for A:C ratios89.2%
Overall agreement within ±1 block with predicate device for A:C ratios100%
Agreement at same block for A:C < 3091.6%
Agreement at same block for A:C 30-30087.5%
Agreement at same block for A:C > 30086.7%
Agreement within ±1 block for A:C < 30100%
Agreement within ±1 block for A:C 30-300100%
Agreement within ±1 block for A:C > 300100%
Positive Agreement (A:C ratios)90.6%
Negative Agreement (A:C ratios)91.6%
Within-run precision (agreement with target concentration)>99%
Between-run precision (agreement with target concentration)>99%

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

  • Sample Size: 390 urine specimens.
  • Data Provenance: Retrospective, collected randomly at three clinical sites from patients. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA by a company based in San Diego, CA, suggesting U.S. clinical sites.

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

The "ground truth" for the test set was established by comparing the results of the new device (Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips read by Mission U120 Urine Analyzer) to the predicate device (CLINITEK Microalbumin Reagent Strips read by Clinitek Status Analyzer). No independent human experts were stated to have established a separate ground truth for the clinical accuracy study. The predicate device itself acts as the reference for comparison.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

No explicit adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) is mentioned. The study directly compares the results of the new device against the predicate device for each specimen.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not done. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test strip read by an analyzer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation tool for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done:

Yes, the performance study is a standalone evaluation of the device system (reagent strips + analyzer). The device itself performs the semi-quantitative measurement. While human operators are involved in dipping the strips and initiating the reading, the "performance" described is that of the automated analytical system in interpreting the strip's reaction.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth for the clinical accuracy study was the results obtained from a legally marketed predicate device (CLINITEK Microalbumin Reagent Strips read by Clinitek Status Analyzer). This is a common approach for demonstrating substantial equivalence for new IVD devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. For a traditional IVD device like this, the development and calibration of the reagent strips and analyzer would involve extensive internal testing and optimization, but it's not typically referred to as a "training set" in the same way as for AI algorithms. The clinical accuracy study used 390 specimens.

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

As there's no explicitly defined "training set" in the AI sense for this type of IVD device, the method for establishing its ground truth isn't applicable. The performance is based on the chemical reactions of the strips and the optical reading capabilities of the analyzer, which would have been rigorously developed and validated against known concentrations of analytes and reference methods during the product development phase.

Device Name: Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine)

Device Description:

The Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) are firm plastic strips that contain two reagent areas to test for Microalbumin (low concentration of albumin) and creatinine in urine. Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) can be read by the Mission® U120 Urine Analyzer.

Instrument Reading

The Mission® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) are dipped into a urine specimen and "read" instrumentally by the Mission" U120 Urine Analyzer, (K070929). The urine analyzer is a reflectance photometer that analyzes the intensity and color of light reflected from the reagent areas of a urinalysis reagent strip. In addition to providing an albumin and a creatinine result, an albumin-to-creatinine ratio can also be determined. Semi-quantitative results are available within one minute.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Intended Use:

The Mission Urinalysis Reagent strips (Microalbumin/Creatinine) are intended for the semi quantitative measurement of albumin and creatinine in urine samples using the Mission U120 Urine Analyzer. These measurements are used to assist diagnosis for kidney function. It is intended for professional use only at point-of-care locations.

Tests Principles:

Albumin: The basis for the test is a high affinity sulfonephthalein dye, using the dye binding method to produce any blue color if albumin is present at a constant pH. Results range in color from pale green to aqua blue. In the presence of diluted urine, the pad for the Albumin reading will turn white. This indicates an albumin level ≤ 10 mg/L. Normally, albumin is present in urine at concentrations < 20 mg/L. Results of 20-200 mg/L may indicate micralbuminuria. It is associated with early-stage kidney disease when a small amount of Albumin, also called Microalbumin is consistently present in urine. Clinical albuminuria is indicated by results of >200 mg/L. These levels can be predictive of albumin excretion rates of 30-300 mg/24hours and >300 mg/24hours, respectively. Exercise, acute illness and fever, and urinary tract infections may temporarily elevate urinary albumin excretions.

Creatinine: The peroxidase-like activity of a copper creatinine complex catalyzes the reaction of diisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxide and 3,3 ',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine to produce a resulting color range from orange through green to blue. Creatinine concentrations of 10-300 mg/dL are normally present in urine.

Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio: It is also called Microalbumin-to-Creatinine ratio test available to assess microalbuminuria. Albumin is normally present in urine at concentrations of <30 mg albumin/g creatinine. Microalbuminuria is indicated at a ratio result of 30-300 mg/g (Abnormal) and clinical albuminuria at a ratio of >300 mg/g (High Abnormal).

The agreement of A:C ratios of positives and negatives at cutoff of <30 mg/g were 94.3% and 91.6%, respectively. Of the 211 A:C positive results, 5.7% (12/211) were negative. Of the 179 assay A:C ratio negative results, 8.4% (15/179) were positive. In summary, the overall exact agreement between Mission Urinalysis Strips Microalbumin/Creatinine) and Clinitek Microalbumin 2 Reagents strips for positive albumin results is 89.2%, and the overall agreement for ±1 block is 100%.

Discussion of Performance Tests Performed:

The performance characteristics of the Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine) have been determined in both laboratory and clinical tests. Parameters of importance to the user are sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision. Generally, this test has been developed to be specific for the parameters to be measured with the exceptions of the interferences listed.

Precision: The reproducibility of the Mission U120 Urine Analyzer to read Mission®

Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Microalbumin/ Creatinine) was evaluated by within run precision and between run precision studies at three POL sites using Control Solutions Level 1 (Neg.), Level 2 (Low) and Level 3 (High). Within run precision study: Each level of the control solution was tested in 20 replicates in one day at each of POL sites. Between run precision study: Each control was tested once at each run, 2 runs per day for 20 days, 3 operators from each site participated the study. The results of within-run and between-run precision studies showed that the agreements with each target concentration were over 99% for the U120 Ultra.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Interference Study: Three levels of urine controls were spiked with the possible interfering substances one at a time to two concentrations following EP7-A2: Level 2 (common pathological value) and level 1 (5 times lower than level 2). Each sample was tested in triplicates. Results are summarized in the table below:
