AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and study results for the SAFECARE Urine Test Amphetamine, Cocaine, and Marijuana devices.

Here's an organized summary of the information requested:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study

The SAFECARE Urine Test devices are qualitative tests for the detection of Amphetamine, Cocaine (Benzoylecgonine), and Marijuana (Cannabinoids) in human urine at specific cutoff concentrations. The study aims to demonstrate the device's accuracy and reliability through analytical performance and comparison studies.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated as numerical targets (e.g., Sensitivity > X%, Specificity > Y%). However, the study design implicitly establishes acceptance criteria through its reported performance, which demonstrates consistent and accurate results around the cutoff concentrations. Given that this is a 510(k) submission and the conclusion states "acceptable performance characteristics" and "substantially equivalent to the predicate," the presented performance implicitly meets the FDA's requirements for substantial equivalence.

Interpreted Acceptance Criteria (Implicitly met by study results):

  • Precision: Consistent results across different lots and repeated testing at various concentrations relative to the cutoff. For concentrations well below the cutoff (-100%, -75%, -50% cutoff), results should be consistently negative. For concentrations well above the cutoff (+50%, +75%, +100% cutoff), results should be consistently positive. At concentrations near the cutoff (-25%, cutoff, +25% cutoff), there should be an expected distribution of positive and negative results, demonstrating appropriate cutoff sensitivity.
  • Cut-off Verification: All samples at and above +50% cut-off are positive, and all samples at and below -50% cut-off are negative.
  • Interference/Specificity: No interference from common physiological substances or cross-reactivity from specified compounds at tested concentrations should lead to false positives/negatives at 25% above cutoff.
  • Method Comparison: High agreement with GC/MS results for both negative and positive clinical samples. Low rates of discordant results, particularly for samples well below or well above the cutoff.
  • Lay-user Performance: High percentages of correct results when performed by lay users, indicating ease of understanding and use. This is especially critical for over-the-counter devices.

Reported Device Performance (Excerpt for Amphetamine Dip Card - Precision Study):

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

All test sets (precision, cut-off, interference, specificity, method comparison, and lay-user studies) appear to use data that is retrospective in nature, as samples were "prepared by spiking drug in negative samples" or "unaltered clinical samples" were "blind labeled and compared to GC/MS results". The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated as a country of origin but implies laboratory-prepared or collected clinical samples, likely within China where the manufacturer is located, or a contract lab.

Sample Sizes for Test Sets:

  • Precision Study:
    • For each drug (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Marijuana) and each format (Dip Card, Cup, Cassette):
      • 9 concentration levels (-100% to +100% of cut-off).
      • Each concentration tested 50 times (2 runs per day for 25 days) for each of 3 lots.
      • Total observations per drug/format: 9 concentrations * 50 tests/concentration * 3 lots = 1350 observations.
  • Cut-off Verification Study:
    • For each drug (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Marijuana) and each format (Dip Card, Cup, Cassette):
      • 5 concentration levels (-50%, -25%, cut-off, +25%, +50% of cut-off).
      • Total samples: 150 samples (equally distributed across 5 concentrations, so 30 samples per concentration) tested using 3 different lots by 3 different operators.
  • Interference/Specificity Studies:
    • Urine samples (drug-free and spiked at +25% cut-off) tested for each interfering substance/cross-reactant compound. Number of tests per substance (e.g., 3 batches of each device for all formats) is not explicitly listed per substance but implied to be sufficient.
  • Method Comparison Studies:
    • For each drug (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Marijuana) and each format (Dip Card, Cup, Cassette):
      • 80 unaltered clinical samples (40 negative, 40 positive).
      • Total samples per drug/format tested by 3 viewers: 80 samples * 3 viewers = 240 observations.
  • Lay-user Study:
    • For Amphetamine devices: 420 lay persons.
    • For Cocaine devices: 420 lay persons.
    • For Marijuana devices: 420 lay persons.
    • Each person tested one blind labeled sample and a device.
    • Sample concentrations used: 7 levels (-100% to +75% of cut-off), 20 samples per level. Total samples per drug: 7 concentrations * 20 samples/concentration = 140 samples.

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

  • For Analytical Performance (Precision, Cut-off, Interference, Specificity): The ground truth for spiked samples (negative samples spiked with known concentrations of drug) was established by GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), which is the "preferred confirmatory method" and considered the gold standard for drug detection and quantification in toxicology. No "experts" in the sense of clinicians or radiologists were used. The document doesn't specify the qualifications of the personnel performing GC/MS.
  • For Method Comparison Studies: The ground truth for the 80 unaltered clinical samples was established by GC/MS. These GC/MS results are the reference against which the device's performance was compared.
  • For Lay-user Study: The ground truth for the prepared urine samples was confirmed by GC/MS.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • For Precision Studies: The testing was "performed two runs per day for 25 days" (total 50 tests per concentration per lot). The results are presented as counts of positive/negative. There is no mention of an adjudication method among multiple readers for these analytical studies.
  • For Cut-off Verification Study: Testing was performed by "three different operators." There is no explicit adjudication method stated for these observations. The results are presented as all positive or all negative for certain concentration ranges, which implies agreement or a predefined interpretation across operators.
  • For Method Comparison Studies: "Three different laboratory assistants" were the "operators" or "viewers" (referred to as Viewer A, B, C) who read the device results. The document lists discordant results individually for each viewer, indicating that results were compared viewer-by-viewer against GC/MS. There is no explicit multi-reader adjudication method (e.g., majority vote like 2+1 or 3+1) mentioned for reaching a consensus device result; rather, individual reader agreement with GC/MS is analyzed.
  • For Lay-user Study: Lay persons independently read the results. The comparison is between the lay person's reading and the GC/MS ground truth. No adjudication among lay persons is described.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned. The study performed a method comparison where individual "viewers" (laboratory assistants) read the devices and their results were compared to GC/MS. There is no comparison of human readers' performance with AI assistance versus without AI assistance, as these are rapid qualitative test devices, not AI-powered diagnostic algorithms.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

The SAFECARE Urine Test devices are immunochromatographic assays, not software algorithms or AI-driven systems. Their performance is inherently standalone (device-only, interpreted by a human user). The reported precision, cut-off, interference, specificity, and method comparison data represent the standalone performance of these physical tests.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry): This is consistently stated as the ground truth method for confirming drug concentrations in all performance studies (precision, cut-off, interference, specificity, method comparison, and lay-user studies). GC/MS is a highly accurate analytical method considered the gold standard for drug testing.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

These devices are immunochromatographic assays, not machine learning or AI models, therefore they do not have a "training set" in the computational sense. Their development typically involves chemical and biological optimization, with analytical and clinical validation serving as the equivalent of performance evaluation.

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

As noted above, these devices do not involve a training set as they are not AI/ML-based. The development of such diagnostic tests relies on established immunochemistry principles and rigorous analytical validation to ensure sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy against a gold standard like GC/MS.

9. Test Principle

SAFECARE Urine Tests are rapid tests for the qualitative detection of Benzoylecgonine, or D-amphetamine or 11-nor-A9-THC-9 COOH in urine samples. Each assay test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. During testing, a urine specimen migrates upward by capillary action. If target drugs are present in the urine specimen below its cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody (monoclonal mouse antibody) coated on the particles. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drug-conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The colored line will not form in the test line region if the target drug level exceeds its cutoff-concentration because it will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody coated on the particles. A band should form in the control region of the devices regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample.

10. Performance Characteristics

    1. Analytical Performance
    • a. Precision

Precision studies were carried out for samples with concentrations of -100% cut-off, -50% cut-off, -25% cut-off, at the cut-off, +25% cut-off, +75% cut-off, +75% cut-off and +100% cut-off. These samples were prepared by spiking drug in negative samples. Each drug concentration was confirmed by GC/MS. All sample aliquots were blinded labeled and randomized. For each concentration, tests were performed two runs per day for 25 days. The results obtained are summarized in the following tables:

g. Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and Urine pH

To investigate the effect of urine specific gravity and urine pH, urine samples with of 1.000 to 1.035 specific gravity or urine samples with pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target drugs at 25% below and 25% above cut-off levels. These samples were tested using three batches of each device for all formats. Results were all positive for samples at and above +25% cut-off and all negative for samples at and below -25% Cut-Off. There were no differences observed for different formats.

    1. Comparison Studies
      The method comparison studies for the SAFECARE Urine Test (Amphetamine, Cocaine and Marijuana) were performed in-house with three different laboratory assistants for each format of the device. Operators ran 80 (40 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples for each drug. The samples were blind labeled and compared to GC/MS results are presented in the tables below:

Lay-user study

A lay user study was performed at three intended user sites with 420 lay persons testing the amphetamine devices, 420 lay persons testing the cocaine devices and 420 lay persons testing the marijuana devices. A total of 208 females and 212 males tested the amphetamine samples, 205 females and 215 males tested cocaine samples, and 212 females and 208 males tested the marijuana samples. They had diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ranged in age from 21 to > 50 years. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations; negative, +/-75%, +/-25% of the cutoff by spiking drugs into drug free-pooled urine specimens. The concentrations of the samples were confirmed by GC/MS. Each sample was aliquoted into individual containers and blind-labeled. Each participant was provided with the package insert, 1 blind labeled sample and a device. The results are summarized below.

§ 862.3250 Cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system.

(a)
Identification. A cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system is a device intended to measure cocaine and a cocaine metabolite (benzoylecgonine) in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cocaine use or overdose.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (e.g., programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).
