AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Randox Laboratories Ltd. Cholesterol device, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for all tests in a single table, but rather presents the performance results of various analytical studies that demonstrate the device's capability. I've compiled the relevant performance data from the document into a table, noting the implicit acceptance measures (e.g., meeting CLSI guidelines, certain correlation coefficients, or imprecision percentages).

Metric / StudyAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Precision/Reproducibility:
    • Controls: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" but data is reported for commercial control materials (717UE, 724UE, 952UN).
    • Patient Samples: 4 concentrations of unaltered human serum samples (3 diluted, 1 spiked for Linearity Pool, 1 Sensitivity Pool). Each sample run in 2 replicates per run, twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days, using 2 reagent lots on 2 RX Daytona plus systems.
    • Data Provenance: "unaltered human serum samples" implies human origin, likely retrospective for spiking/dilution. No country of origin is specified.
  • Linearity/Assay Reportable Range:
    • Sample Size: 11 levels of samples covering the measuring range. Each level run in 5 replicates.
    • Data Provenance: "linearity samples" were prepared. Implies in-vitro prepared samples to cover the range, likely based on human serum/plasma.
  • Detection Limit (LoD), Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Quantitation (LoQ):
    • Sample Size: LoD was based on 240 determinations with 4 low-level samples.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally prepared samples for low-level determination.
  • Analytical Specificity (Interference):
    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the number of interferent samples, but tested at Cholesterol concentrations of 150 mg/dl and 250 mg/dl for each interferent.
    • Data Provenance: Prepared samples spiked with interferents.
  • Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
    • Sample Size: 107 serum patient samples.
    • Data Provenance: "serum patient samples" spanning 25 to 599 mg/dl. Retrospective. No country of origin specified.
  • Matrix Comparison:
    • Sample Size (Lithium Heparin): Minimum of 54 matched patient sample pairs (serum vs. lithium heparin plasma).
    • Sample Size (Potassium 2 EDTA): Minimum of 50 matched patient sample pairs (serum vs. potassium 2 EDTA plasma).
    • Data Provenance: "Patient samples were drawn in matched pairs". Retrospective from human subjects. No country of origin specified.

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

This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) for quantitative measurement of cholesterol. The "ground truth" for such devices is established by precise laboratory reference methods or established commercially available controls and calibrators with known values.

  • No "experts" in the sense of radiologists or pathologists establishing ground truth as would be the case for imaging devices.
  • Ground truth is established by:
    • Reference materials (e.g., NIST 1952a for the calibrators, mentioned under traceability).
    • Established analytical methods used by the predicate device and in clinical laboratories.
    • CLSI guidelines for experimental design and data analysis.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable for this type of quantitative IVD device. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used for qualitative or semi-quantitative assessments, especially in imaging or pathology, where human expert discrepancy resolution is needed. For quantitative chemical measurements, the ground truth is often numerical and objectively determined.

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

No. This is an in vitro diagnostic device for chemical analysis of cholesterol, not an imaging or qualitative assessment device involving human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study

Yes, the entire performance evaluation presented is a standalone study of the device (Cholesterol assay on the RX Daytona plus system). The device performs the analytical measurement autonomously once the sample is loaded. The studies demonstrate the analytical performance of the device itself.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance studies is multi-faceted:

  • Reference Materials: Randox Calibration Serum Level 3 is traceable to Cholesterol reference material NIST 1952a. This is a primary ground truth for calibration and accuracy.
  • Predicate Device: For method comparison studies, the predicate device (Randox Cholesterol reagent, K923504) serves as a comparative ground truth, aiming to demonstrate substantial equivalence rather than absolute biological truth.
  • CLSI Guidelines: The studies adhere to CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines (EP5-A2 for precision, EP6-A for linearity, EP17-A2 for detection limits, EP9-A2 for method comparison), which represent an industry-accepted "ground truth" for how these analytical performance characteristics should be determined and evaluated.
  • Prepared Samples: For linearity, sensitivity, detection limits, and interference, samples were prepared to known concentrations or spiked with known substances to create specific "ground truth" scenarios.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI, as this device is a traditional in vitro diagnostic reagent system, not an AI/ML-based device.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm in this context.

8. TEST PRINCIPLE (1)

The cholesterol is determined after enzymatic hydrolysis and oxidation. The indicator quinoneimine is formed from hydrogen peroxide and 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of phenol and peroxidase.

Image /page/6/Figure/2 description: This image shows three chemical reactions. The first reaction shows cholesterol ester and H20 reacting to form cholesterol and fatty acids, with cholesterol-esterase as the catalyst. The second reaction shows cholesterol and O2 reacting to form cholestene-3-one and H202, with cholesterol oxidase as the catalyst. The third reaction shows 2H202, phenol, and 4-Aminoantipyrine reacting to form quinoneimine and 4H20, with peroxidase as the catalyst.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Linearity studies have been carried out in accordance with C.L.S.I. standard EP6-A. Linearity studies were performed at 11 levels to determine the analytical range of an assay - that is the range where the reported result is a linear function to the analyte concentration (or where deviation from linearity is less than 5%).

The linearity samples were prepared at 11 levels covering the measuring range. Each level was run in replicates of five on two lots of cholesterol reagent on one RX Daytona plus system. The results are summarized in the following table:

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):

Refer to K053153 Calibrator and K942458 Control for Cholesterol.

Randox Calibration Serum Level 3 is traceable to Cholesterol reference material NIST 1952a.

d. Detection limit:

Sensitivity studies have been carried out in accordance with C.L.S.I. guideline EP17-A2 'Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantification: Approved Guideline'. A Limit of Blank (L.o.B.), a Limit of Detection (L.o.D.) and a Limit of Quantification were performed on two lots of reagents tested by two operators on one RX Daytona Plus system.

The Limit of Detection (LoD) for Cholesterol on the RX Daytona Plus is 6.31 mg/dl based on 240 determinations, with 4 low level samples.

The Limit of Blank (LoB) is 3.1 mg/dl.

The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) is 23.2 mg/dl as determined by the lowest concentration detected with ≤20% imprecision.

e. Analytical Specificity:

The effects of potential interferents were determined by calculating the mean value of the spiked interferent with the corresponding control solution. The spiked sample results were compared to control samples prepared without the potential interferents.

Acceptance Criteria: % of Control ± 10%

The following analytes were tested up to the levels indicated at Cholesterol concentrations of 150 mg/dl and 250 mg/dl and found not to interfere:

HaemoglobinNo significant interference up to 750mg/dL
Total BilirubinNo significant interference up to 60mg/dL
Conjugate BilirubinNo significant interference up to 60mg/dL
Intralipid®No significant interference up to 1000mg/dL
Ascorbic AcidNo significant interference up to 6mg/dL

{10}------------------------------------------------

f. Method comparison with predicate device:

Correlation studies were carried out in accordance with C.L.S.I. guideline EP9-A2 'Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples: Approved Guideline - Second Edition'.

107 serum patient samples spanning the range 25 to 599 mg/dl were tested by two operators on two lots of cholesterol reagent on two RX Daytona plus analyzers and one RX Imola system across 3 working days with each sample tested in singlicate. The test method was compared to the predicate device and the following linear regression equation was obtained:

Y = 1.00x — 4.77 Correlation coefficient of r = 0.997

q. Matrix comparison:

Matrix method comparisons for the cholesterol assay was tested by one operator on one RX Daytona plus system and was assessed for two lots of cholesterol reagents. Both serum and lithium heparin and K₂EDTA plasma were tested to determine whether method accuracy with plasma specimens are equivalent to serum results and that lithium heparin and K₂EDTA plasma does not interfere with either the method or the system.

Cholesterol matrix comparison on the RX Daytona plus (Lithium Heparin)

Patient samples were drawn in matched pairs - one sample serum (x) and the second sample lithium heparin plasma (y). A minimum of 54 matched patient sample pairs were analyzed spanning the 25 to 613 mg/dl and the following linear regression equation was obtained:

Y = 1.01x - 6.54 Correlation coefficient of r = 0.997

Cholesterol matrix comparison on the RX Daytona plus (Potassium 2 EDTA)

Patient samples were drawn in matched pairs – one sample serum (x) and the second sample potassium 2 EDTA plasma (y). A minimum of 50 matched patient sample pairs were analyzed spanning the 29 to 603 mg/dl and the following linear regression equation was obtained:

Y = 0.99x + 2.85 Correlation coefficient of r = 0.998
