Lumipulse G TP-N Immunoreaction Cartridges Set For in vitro diagnostic use. WARNING: Lumipulse G TP-N is not intended for blood and tissue donor screening. United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Lumipulse G TP-N is a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) for the qualitative determination of antibodies (1gG and 1gM) to Treponema pallidum in human serum and plasma (sodium citrate, or dipotassium EDTA) on the LUMIPULSE & System. Lumipulse G TP-N can be used as an initial diagnostic test or in conjunction with a nontreponemal laboratory test and clinical findings to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis infection.

Device Description

The Lumipulse G TP-N is an assay system, including a set of immunoassay reagents, for the qualitative detection of anti-TP antibodies (IgG and IgM) in specimens based on CLEIA technology by a two-step sandwich immunoassay method on the LUMIPULSE G System.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study detailed in the provided document:

Device: Lumipulse G TP-N Immunoreaction Cartridges Set (for qualitative determination of antibodies to Treponema pallidum)

Indications for Use: For in vitro diagnostic use. Can be used as an initial diagnostic test or in conjunction with a nontreponemal laboratory test and clinical findings to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis infection.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a numerical, pre-defined format for PPA/NPA. Instead, it presents the performance results obtained and implicitly compares them to the predicate device's expected performance and clinical utility. For qualitative assays like this, the relevant performance metrics are Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA).

Criteria / Performance MetricReported Device Performance (Lumipulse G TP-N) - Prospective SamplesReported Device Performance (Lumipulse G TP-N) - Retrospective Samples
Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) vs. Final Comparator Result92.7% (95% CI: 88.6%, 95.4%)94.3% (95% CI: 92.0%, 96.0%)
Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) vs. Final Comparator Result99.6% (95% CI: 99.0%, 99.9%)98.1% (95% CI: 97.0%, 98.8%)

Note: The document states, "The results of these analytical (nonclinical) and clinical studies demonstrate that the performance of the Lumipulse G TP-N assay is substantially equivalent to the performance of the ADVIA Centaur Syphilis (SYPH) assay." This implies that the observed PPA and NPA values were considered acceptable for demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device.


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

  • Total Test Set Sample Size: 2,791 subjects were submitted for testing. After exclusions, 1,290 evaluable prospective samples and 1,472 evaluable retrospective samples were used.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Prospective Samples: Collected sequentially from patients prescribed a laboratory test for syphilis during a defined period. Collected from 7 sites representing different geographical regions of the US, including both low-prevalence and high-prevalence sites.
    • Retrospective Samples: Pre-selected (enriched population) from various sources:
      • 379 pregnant women (250 without syphilis, 129 with syphilis)
      • 520 HIV positive subjects (298 remnant samples from reference laboratories, 222 collected at a research facility)
      • 130 known to be T. pallidum (TP)-reactive by previous laboratory testing
      • 68 samples from a research facility from patients clinically diagnosed with syphilis
      • 375 samples consisting of remnants of specimens for routine syphilis testing
      • 289 samples from subjects with well-characterized medically diagnosed syphilis (from Argentina (52%) and Florida (48%))
      • 474 samples from apparently healthy subjects (75 pediatric, 399 adult/not pregnant).

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

The ground truth for the test set was not established by individual experts reviewing cases. Instead, it was based on an algorithmic combination of results from other FDA-cleared laboratory tests. Therefore, information regarding "number of experts" and their "qualifications" is not applicable in the traditional sense of image or clinical interpretation.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The adjudication method was a "2 out of 3 rule" based on the results of three FDA-cleared tests:

  1. A treponemal test (EIA)
  2. A non-treponemal Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test
  3. A second treponemal test, Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TP-PA)

The "Final Comparator Result" was determined as Positive or Negative if at least two of the three comparator tests yielded a consistent result.

  • Example: Positive EIA + Positive RPR + Positive TP-PA = Positive Final Comparator Result.
  • Example: Negative EIA + Negative RPR + Negative TP-PA = Negative Final Comparator Result.
  • Example: Negative EIA + Positive RPR + Positive TP-PA = Positive Final Comparator Result.
  • Indeterminate Results: Cases were considered "Indeterminate" if the EIA was "equivocal" and the TP-PA was "inconclusive". These were excluded from the final analysis.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic assay for qualitative determination of antibodies. Its performance is evaluated against a pre-established "ground truth" derived from other laboratory tests, not by comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance in interpreting diagnostic images or clinical data.


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

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire clinical study presented (comparison against the "Final Comparator Result") represents the standalone performance of the Lumipulse G TP-N assay, as it is an automated laboratory test. There is no human interpretation or "in-the-loop" component in the direct output of this specific device.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was a "Reference Comparator Algorithm" based on the consensus results of three established, FDA-cleared laboratory tests (EIA, RPR, and TP-PA), using a "2 out of 3 rule."


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document describes performance characteristics and clinical comparison studies for the Lumipulse G TP-N. It does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning. For in-vitro diagnostic assays like this, the development typically involves:

  • Internal studies for analytical performance (precision, interference, cross-reactivity).
  • Clinical validation studies for method comparison to established comparator methods or reference standards.

The closest analogue to initial "training" or development data might be mentioned in the section on "Assay cut-off": "Lumipulse G TP-N was developed in 1997. 312 negative specimens, 99 positive specimens, and 6 intermediate specimens previously assigned using TP-PA were measured with Lumipulse G TP-N in order to establish its cut-off index."

  • If this is considered the "training set" for cutoff establishment: 417 samples (312 negative, 99 positive, 6 intermediate).

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

For the establishment of the assay cut-off, the "ground truth" for the 417 samples (312 negative, 99 positive, 6 intermediate) was established using TP-PA (Treponema pallidum particle agglutination), which is described as a previous method for assigning positivity/negativity.

L. Test Principle:

The Lumipulse G TP-N is an assay system, including a set of immunoassay reagents, for the qualitative detection of anti-TP antibodies (IgG and IgM) in specimens based on CLEIA technology by a two-step sandwich immunoassay method on the LUMIPULSE G System.

Anti-TP antibodies in specimens (IgG and IgM) specifically binds to recombinant TP antigens (Tp15-17 and TpN47) on the particles, and antigen-antibody complexes are formed. The particles are washed and rinsed to remove unbound materials. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP: calf)-labeled recombinant TP antigens (Tp15-17 and TpN47) specifically bind to anti-TP antibodies of the immunocomplexes on the particles, and additional immunocomplexes are formed. The particles are washed and rinsed to remove unbound materials. Substrate Solution is added and mixed with the particles. AMPPD contained in the Substrate Solution is dephosphorylated by the catalysis of ALP indirectly conjugated to particles. Luminescence (at a maximum wavelength of 477 nm) is generated by the cleavage reaction of dephosphorylated AMPPD. The luminescent signal reflects the amount of anti-TP antibodies.

*AMPPD: 3-(2'-spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy) phenyl-1, 2-dioxetane disodium salt

Not applicable

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

Calibrators

Calibration of the Lumipulse G TP-N is traceable to in-house reference calibrators, whose values have been assigned to correlate with SERODIA®-TP·PA.

CAL N TP calibrator-N (1 x 2.0 mL)

CAL P TP calibrator-P (1 x 2.0 mL)

Contains 0.15 M sodium chloride in Tris buffer with protein stabilizer (bovine). The material of TP calibrator-P is processed from anti-TP positive but inactivated human serum. Preservative: sodium azide.

Stability

Shelf life: The shelf life for Lumipulse G TP-N is 9 months at 2-10° C.

On board: The Lumipulse G TP-N cartridges remain stable at the end of shelf life when stored under on-board conditions (12° C). Labeling recommends calibrator storage for 30 days.

Transport: Lumipulse G TP-N is shipped at 2-10°C.

Sample Stability: Specimens collected in all four matrices (Red top serum tube, SST, K2-EDTA and Sodium Citrate) were stable at 23-27°C for up to 3 days, 2-10 °C for up to 4 days, or -10°C or colder for longer periods.

Serum samples kept on the clot and stored under ambient temperatures (not to exceed 40°C) must be tested within 5 days of collection. However, it is recommended that separated serum be removed from the clot as soon as possible. In analytical studies, a loss of reactivity ranging from 7-14% was observed when on-the-clot serum samples were held at 40°C for 5 days: although no change in positivity was observed for the low positive samples in the study, a false negative result in clinical samples with low antibody levels is possible.

d. Detection limit:

Samples with a cutoff index (C.O.I.) of < 1.0 are considered nonreactive for syphilis T. pallidum antibodies.

Samples with a cutoff index (C.O.I.) ≥ 1.0 are considered reactive for syphilis T. pallidum antibodies.

f. Assay cut-off:

Lumipulse G TP-N was developed in 1997. 312 negative specimens, 99 positive specimens, and 6 intermediate specimens previously assigned using TP-PA were measured with Lumipulse G TP-N in order to establish its cut-off index. There is clear separation of negative and positive results when using a cut-off value of 1.0.

2. Comparison studies:

a. Method Comparison

In a multi-center clinical study, samples from a total of 2791 subjects were submitted for testing. Among those, there were 1316 specimens prospectively collected from the intended use population and 1475 specimens that were pre-selected from a retrospective collection. After exclusion of 26 specimens from the prospective collection (due to hemolyzed/lipemic samples, lack of test results and/or protocol deviations) and three samples from pre-selected retrospective collection (due to lack of test results), there were a total of 1290 (46%) evaluable prospective samples and a total of 1472 (54%) evaluable retrospective samples. The study samples were tested at four clinical sites.

The prospective collection consisted of specimens collected sequentially from all patients prescribed a laboratory test for syphilis between a defined period of time. The specimens were collected from 7 sites representing different geographical regions of the US including both low prevalence sites and high prevalence sites.

The retrospective samples included specimens from 379 pregnant women (250 without syphilis, 129 with syphilis), 520 HIV positive subjects (298 remnant samples from reference laboratories and 222 collected at a research facility), 130 known to be T. pallidum (TP)reactive by previous laboratory testing. 68 samples collected at a research facility from patients clinically diagnosed with syphilis as well as 375 samples consisting of remnants of specimens sent to a laboratory for routine syphilis testing.

Additionally, 289 samples from subjects with well-characterized medically diagnosed syphilis and 474 samples from apparently healthy subjects, including 75 pediatric subjects and 399 adult/not pregnant subjects were tested with the Lumipulse G TP-N assay.

The overall success rate during clinical testing was 99.7% (3540/3552). All 12 specimens were retested and valid results were obtained after a single retest.

1. Comparison of Results

The clinical performance of the Lumipulse G TP-N was evaluated by comparing the assay results with the comparator result based on an algorithm of results from three Food and Druq Administration (FDA) cleared tests: a treponemal test (EIA), a non-treponemal Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test, and a second treponemal test, Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TP-PA). A determination of positive, negative or indeterminate result was made for each test according to the directions in the labeling.

The final comparator result was determined using a 2 out of 3 rule (EIA, RPR, and TP·PA). In cases where the EIA result was "equivocal" (as per the device labeling), and the TP-PA result was "inconclusive", the final comparator result could not be determined; those results would be excluded from the final analysis (there were no indeterminate final comparator results in this study).

The clinical performance of the Lumipulse GTP-N assay was determined by calculating percent agreement between the Lumipulse G TP-N result and the Final Comparator Result described below.

The labeling satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.

§ 866.3830

Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents.(a)
Identification. Treponema pallidum treponemal test reagents are devices that consist of the antigens, antisera and all control reagents (standardized reagents with which test results are compared) which are derived from treponemal sources and that are used in the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), theTreponema pallidum immobilization test (T.P.I.), and other treponemal tests used to identify antibodies toTreponema pallidum directly from infecting treponemal organisms in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by bacteria belonging to the genusTreponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.(b)
