AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Mindray BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer, based on the provided text:

Key Takeaways on Device Performance:

The device's performance was primarily evaluated through a method comparison study against a predicate device (Sysmex XE-2100) and various studies adhering to CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines. The results generally indicate good correlation and adherence to predefined specifications, supporting the device's substantial equivalence.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly list "acceptance criteria" in a single, dedicated table with numerical targets, but instead describes performance studies and states that results "met the pre-defined specification" or "were within the specifications." The table below synthesizes the implicit acceptance criteria based on the reported study results, primarily from the method comparison against the predicate device (Sysmex XE-2100).

Performance Metric CategoryImplicit/Derived Acceptance Criteria (based on predicate comparison)Reported Device Performance (from Method Comparison vs. Predicate)
Method Comparison vs. Predicate (Correlation & Bias)r (correlation coefficient) generally close to 1 (e.g., >0.95 for most parameters, some lower may be acceptable depending on parameter and range) and slope close to 1 with intercept close to 0, ensuring bias is within pre-defined limits.As presented in Table 5 (pages 9-10), most parameters show r > 0.99. Lower r values for Bas# (0.624) and Bas% (0.415), and Mon% (0.930), MCHC (0.825) were observed, but the overall conclusion stated the analyzer met pre-defined specification for difference limits. Specific slope and intercept confidence intervals are provided for each parameter.
WBC Morphology Flagging Ability (vs. Manual)High sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency for identifying abnormal samples. (No explicit numeric targets given, but implied clinical utility)Sensitivity (TP %): 89.3% Specificity (TN %): 78.3% Efficiency: 80.6%
Precision/Repeatability & ReproducibilitySD and CV of different parameters to be within predefined performance acceptance specifications.Results met the predefined performance acceptance specifications. (No explicit numeric targets provided in this summary)
Linearity RangeData fitting a linear regression line with a coefficient of determination (R²) of >0.95 and parameters recovering within bias limits.Results indicated that BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer exhibits linearity across the claimed range.
CarryoverCarryover level within defined specification (e.g., ≤ 1.0% for WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, PLT).Results were within specifications (≤ 1.0%) for WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT and PLT. Device demonstrated minimum carryover level.
InterferenceNo significant interference from tested substances to key parameters.No significant interference from bilirubin, WBC, and PLT. High elevated concentrations of Triglyceride (TG) and hemoglobin exhibit minor impact to HGB, MCH, MCHC (disclosed in manual).
Sample StabilityParameter results stable for claimed durations at specified temperatures.Study results met the pre-defined acceptance criteria supporting claims of 36 hours at 2-8°C, 24 hours at 18-26°C for whole blood, and 25 minutes at 18-26°C for predilute samples.
Reference Interval Verification (Adult)Established reference ranges to be supported by the study performed.Non-parametric method used to calculate lower and upper limits. Results presented in Table 7 (pages 13-14). Recommended that laboratories establish their own reference range.
Reference Interval Verification (Pediatric)Intervals to be verified against published literature.Study verified the pediatric intervals published in Mayo and IOWA literature.
Limit of Blank (LoB), Limits of Detection (LoD), Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)Values determined according to CLSI EP17-A.Maximum LoB, LoD, or LoQ value of the three analyzers is reported. (Specific values not provided in this summary)

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

  • Test Set Sample Size:

    • Method Comparison: 1531 whole blood samples (collected in K2EDTA).
    • WBC Morphology Flagging: 1514 samples.
    • Precision/Repeatability: Not explicitly stated, but "whole blood samples" for repeatability, and "three levels of samples" from commercial control material BC-5D (tested in duplicate, twice daily for 20 days across 3 sites) for reproducibility (total 240 replicates per level across all sites).
    • Linearity: Dilutions prepared from commercial analogs (WBC, PLT) or fresh whole blood (RBC/HGB), with 7 subsequent dilutions, each run in triplicate.
    • Carryover: High and low samples tested in triplicates.
    • Interference: Whole blood samples with added interfering substances.
    • Comparison of Whole Blood Mode and Predilute Mode: 124 leftover whole blood samples.
    • Comparison of CBC and CBC+DIFF Mode: 103 leftover whole blood samples (Whole blood CBC vs CD) and 75 samples (Predilute CBC vs CD).
    • Comparison of Capillary and Venous Blood: 57 paired specimens.
    • Comparison of K2EDTA and K3EDTA Anticoagulants: 70 paired fresh whole blood samples.
    • Sample Stability: Fresh samples covering normal and medical decision range.
    • Adult Reference Interval: 251 donors (121 male, 130 female).
    • Pediatric Reference Interval: 161 pediatric samples (45 neonate, 26 infant, 57 child, 33 adolescent).
    • LoB, LoD, LoQ: Five blank samples and five low-level samples, each tested 12 times.
  • Data Provenance:

    • Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated for all studies. The method comparison was done at "three actual user sites." The comparison of capillary and venous blood, and K2EDTA vs K3EDTA anticoagulants were done at "the U.S. site" or "clinical laboratory in U.S." This implies at least some data originated from the US, but a global origin is not ruled out for all studies.
    • Retrospective or Prospective: Not explicitly stated. The description "whole blood samples... were analyzed," "patient's samples covered the normal and most abnormal conditions," "leftover whole blood samples," and collection of "fresh samples" suggests a mix, and for studies like method comparison and flagging, samples from a patient population would likely be collected prospectively or retrospectively from a clinical lab biobank. The reference interval studies explicitly describe collecting samples, indicating these were prospective.

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

  • Number of Experts: For the WBC manual differential (used as ground truth for WBC morphology flagging rate), "three manual wedge smears were prepared and stained with Wright-Giemsa stain. A 400 cell WBC differential was performed on two smears per CLSI H20-A2." This implies at least two experts (or a single expert doing two reads, which is less likely for independent confirmation) were involved in the manual differential portion. The document doesn't specify if these were consensus reads or independent.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated for the manual differential readers. It mentions "trained laboratory professionals" in the device description, implying that these professionals would be performing the manual differentials. CLSI H20-A2 typically refers to the standard for manual differential counting, which implies trained medical technologists or clinical laboratory scientists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Method Comparison and Flagging: For the WBC manual differential, it states "A 400 cell WBC differential was performed on two smears per CLSI H20-A2." It does not explicitly mention an adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1). It's possible that if two readers performed the differential, a consensus or third reader was used for discordant results, but the document doesn't detail this. It simply states the manual differential was performed "per CLSI H20-A2," which provides guidelines for the procedure.

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

  • No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done.
    • This study evaluates the improvement in human reader performance (e.g., accuracy, efficiency) with the assistance of an AI algorithm compared to performing the task without AI assistance. The document describes a standalone device, an automated hematology analyzer, which performs the cell counting and differential analysis itself. The comparison is between the device and a predicate device, and between the device and manual methods, not human readers with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • Yes, a standalone study was done.
    • The "Method Comparison" study (pages 9-10) directly compares the BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer's quantitative results for 21 parameters against a legally marketed predicate device, the Sysmex XE-2100 Automated Hematology Analyzer. This is a standalone performance evaluation of the new device against an established one.
    • The "WBC Morphology Flagging Ability" (page 10), which compares the BC-5390's flagging rate to manual WBC differential, is also a standalone performance assessment of the device's ability to identify abnormal samples.
    • All the other performance characteristic studies (Precision, Linearity, Carryover, Interference, Sample Stability, LoD/LoQ/LoB) evaluate the BC-5390's performance in isolation or against defined standards, without human intervention in the primary measurement process once the sample is loaded.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Predicate Device Measurements: Primarily used for most quantitative parameter comparisons (e.g., WBC, RBC, HGB, etc.), where the Sysmex XE-2100 (K992875) was the reference. This represents an established and FDA-cleared measurement method.
  • Expert Manual Differential: Used for the WBC morphology flagging ability study (400-cell WBC differential performed on manual wedge smears per CLSI H20-A2). This is a form of expert consensus/manual reference.
  • Dilution Series / Established Standards: For linearity, carryover, and LoD/LoQ/LoB studies, the ground truth was based on prepared dilution series and reference materials.
  • Literature Reference Intervals: For pediatric reference interval verification, the ground truth was published pediatric intervals from "Mayo and IOWA literature."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not provide information on the sample size used for the training set. This is typical for a 510(k) summary, which focuses on device validation/verification testing rather than details of the algorithm's development (training).

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

  • As the document does not provide information on the training set, it also does not explain how the ground truth for any potential training set was established.

Principle of Operation:

The patient whole blood sample or the prediluted sample with diluent is aspirated and delivered to the measuring bath to be measurement methods used in this analyzer are:

{6}------------------------------------------------

  • The Electrical Impedance method for determining the WBC/BAS, RBC and PLT by 1. counting the electric pulses that occur in each cell size category. The BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer determines the blood cell volume and identifies rare and pathological cells by creating and analyzing histograms of the various cell populations using their respective pulse data.
  • The colorimetric method is used for determining the Hemoglobin. 2.
    1. Flow Cytometry by laser is used to determine the WBC differential. When the blood cells suspended in the diluent pass through the flow cell, they are exposed to a laser beam. The intensity of scatter light reflects the blood cell size and intracellular density. A 2-dimensional distribution (scattergram) is drawn and analyzed to obtain the differential results.

Analysis Mode:

The BC-5390 provides the Closed Whole Blood Mode, Autoloader Whole Blood Mode and Closed Predilute Mode.

Test Panel:

The BC-5390 provides CBC and CBC+DIFF (CD) panels.

Specimen identification:

Method Comparison:

A total of 1531 whole blood samples (collected in K2EDTA) were analyzed at three actual user sites. Five instruments and multiple operators were used for the study. The subjects of the study with age range from 1 day to 100 years old, and with 652 females and 874 males (5 subjects gender was not recorded). Patient's samples covered the normal and most abnormal conditions for all parameters. For each whole blood sample, three manual wedge smears were prepared and stained with Wright-Giemsa stain. A 400 cell WBC differential was performed on two smears per CLSI H20-A2. All samples were testing on whole blood mode in parallel with BC-5390 analyzer and the predicate device. An estimation of the bias was determined for each parameter (Exclude R). The result demonstrated the BC-5390 analyzer met the pre-defined specification for the difference limits. Whole blood accuracy and regression vs predicate and the flagging ability of BC-5390 vs Manual differential comparison were performed. The following tables showed that the results are comparable.

Precision/Repeatability and Reproducibility

{11}------------------------------------------------

Repeatability study was conducted for each reported analyte parameter using whole blood samples collected in K2EDTA anticoagulant tubes either with normal reference intervals or around medical decision levels. Each of the samples was tested 10 times consecutively within the same day of sample collection. Three analyzers in one clinical site with at least two professional laboratory technicians were used to conduct the studies. The SD and CV of the different parameters of those samples were calculated. The results met the predefined performance acceptance specifications.

Reproducibility study was conducted to verify the potential performance variation derived from testing sites, operator, reagent lots. Multiple lots reagent (five lots of Diluent, two lots of LH Lyse and LEO(II) lyse, and three lots of LEO(I) lyse), three BC-5390 Analyzers and two operators at each sites were used to conduct the study. Three levels of samples were prepared using commercial control material BC-5D and tested in duplicate for each run, twice each day for 20 days. A total of 80 (2 duplicates, 2 runs and 20 days) replicates for each sample were tested at each clinical site and 240 replicates together for all three sites for each level control. Standard deviation and CV% were calculated for each measurand and the results obtained were within the specifications.

Linearity Range

WBC and PLT high-value analogs, from commercialized materials, were diluted to different values to cover the AMR of WBC and PLT respectively. RBC/HGB linearity was performed using dilutions prepared from fresh whole blood. The whole blood was concentrated to obtain specimens to test the high linearity limit. Proportional dilutions were prepared using the diluent for each parameter to create 7 subsequent dilutions. The expected values of the diluted samples were considered the true values. Each level of the samples was run in triplicate. The mean of three runs from each of the 7 dilutions across the linear range were used. Acceptable performance is indicated by the data fitting a linear regression line with a coefficient of determination (R2) of >0.95 and the parameters measured recovering within the bias limits for each parameters based on CLSI EP06-A. The results indicated that BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer exhibits linearity across the claimed range.

Carrvover

Carryover performance was determined for parameters WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT and PLT. Testing was performed based on the different analytical cycle combinations of within mode and mode to mode. For each analytical cycle combination, whole blood and predilute sample with extremely elevated blood components (high sample) and with decreased blood components (low sample) were tested in triplicates in turn according to H26-A2.

For whole blood and predilute sampling, within mode to mode for sampling carryover was calculated and the results were within specifications (≤ 1.0%) for WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT and PLT. BC-5390 Analyzer demonstrated minimum carryover level within the defined specification for both Whole Blood and Predilute mode.

Interference

{12}------------------------------------------------

The potential interfering substances of BC-5390 were evaluated by measuring the whole blood samples and after adding different level of potential interfering substances. The paired difference testing was compared to the acceptance criteria. The impact of those substances were analyzed and the results demonstrated that there is no significant interference of bilirubin, WBC, and PLT for the results of BC-5390, but the high elevated concentration of Triglyceride (TG) and hemoglobin exhibits minor impact to the the HGB, MCH, MCHC parameters on the BC-5390. The information is disclosed in the BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer Operator's Manual.

Other Compatibility Studies

Comparison of Whole Blood Mode and Predilute Mode

To demonstrate that BC-5390 analyzer performs equally on samples tested in different analysis modes (Whole blood and Predilute modes), 124 leftover whole blood samples representing the normal and medical conditions were collected in K2EDTA collection tube. All the samples were tested in duplicate on BC-5390 analyzer with Closed or Autoloader Whole blood CD mode and Closed Predilute CD mode. The results were analyzed according to CLSI EP09-A3. It showed that there was no difference when testing samples in either mode or when the sample contained parameters in normal or abnormal range due to medical conditions.

Comparison of CBC and CBC+DIFF Mode

To demonstrate that BC-5390 analyzer performs equally on samples tested in different analysis modes (CBC and CBC+DIFF modes), 103 leftover whole blood samples representing the normal and medical conditions were collected in K2EDTA collection tube for the comparison of Whole blood CBC and CD modes. Meanwhile, a total of 75 samples were collected in the same site for the comparison of Predilute CBC and CD modes. All the samples were tested in duplicate on BC-5390 analyzer with Closed or Autoloader Whole blood CD mode or Closed Predilute CD mode. The results were analyzed according to CLSI EP09-A3. It showed that there was no difference when testing samples in either mode or when the sample contained parameters in normal or abnormal range due to medical conditions.

Comparison of Capillary and Venous blood

To demonstrate the comparable performance between capillary and venous samples, 57 paired specimens were collected from donors by capillary method in K2EDTA microtainers and venipuncture method in K2EDTA collection tubes. Specimen levels were selected to cover the analytical measuring interval and medical decision levels for each parameter. Each sample was tested in the Closed whole blood CD mode at the U.S. site. The results were analyzed according to CLSI EP09-A3 and showed that the performance characteristics of the two specimen types were comparable.

{13}------------------------------------------------

Comparison of K2EDTA and K3EDTA Anticoagulants Samples

To evaluate whether samples collected in K2EDTA and K3EDTA have the same performance characteristics on BC-5390 analyzer, 70 paired fresh whole blood samples collected in K2EDTA and K3EDTA anticoagulant tubes were tested. The samples were selected with the targets to cover the analytical measuring interval and medical decision levels for each parameter. Each sample was tested in Autoloader/Closed whole blood CD mode on BC-5390 in the clinical laboratory in U.S. The results were analyzed according to CLSI EP09-A3 and showed that the performance characteristics of the specimens collected in the two anticoagulants are comparable.

Sample Stability

Specimen stability study was conducted to support the specimen stability claim as for whole blood is 36 hours at refrigerated temperature (2-8°C) and 24 hours when stored at 18-26°C, and for predilute sample the stability is 25 minutes when stored at 18-26°C before testing. Fresh samples covering normal and medical decision range were stored at at 2-8°C and then tested at defined intervals of immediate (0-1 hour), 4, 8, 12, 24, 26, 36 and 38 hours or stored at 18-26°C and then tested at the time points of immediate (0-1hour), 4, 8, 12, 14, 24 and 26 hours. Prediluted samples were also stored at 18-26°C and then tested at the time points of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 minutes after sample preparation. The study results met the pre-defined acceptance criteria supporting the sample stability claims.

Reference Interval

A study was performed to assess the Adult Reference Ranges for BC-5390 analyzer using whole blood samples collected from 251 donors. In the study 121 adult male donors and 130 adult female donors between the ages of 19-70 were included. The non-parametric method and 95% confidence were used to calculate the lower and upper limits of the reference range according to EP28-A3c. The results are all shown in Table 7.

It is recommended that laboratories establish their own reference range based on the actual current patient population.

Table 7: The Reference Intervals of BC-5390

{14}------------------------------------------------

Note; * in this table denoted that if significantly difference exists between Male and Female according to CLSI EP28-A3c. If noted "Yes", it indicated that a separate reference interval should be considered for the Male and Female.

In addition, a literature reference interval verification study was performed in one clinical site for a total of 161 pediatric samples, including neonate (N=45), infant (N=26), child (N=57), and adolescent (N=33). These samples were collected from pediatric patients

{15}------------------------------------------------

ranging from neonates to 21 years of age. The results of this study verified the pediatric intervals published in Mayo and IOWA literature.

Please note, to substantiate a pediatric claim, we have included pediatric subjects in the method comparison and validated literature reference intervals according to FDA's recommendation in the pre-sub.

Determination of Limit of Blank (LoB), Limits of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)

Limit of Blank was determined using five blank samples (diluent) which just contain the dilute solution. To determine the Limits of Detection and Limit of Quantitation, five low levels of samples were created by adding whole blood samples to diluent to reach approximately 1-4 times of the LoB. Each blank sample or low level sample was tested 12 times at one clinical laboratory in the whole blood mode and predilute mode respectively on three BC-5390 analyzers. Each of the low level samples were tested 5 times on the Sysmex XE-2100 analyzer. The results were analyzed according to CLSI EP17-A. The maximum LoB, LoD, or LoQ value of the three (3) analyzers is taken as the reported value.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer has the same intended use as the predicate device, the XE-2100 as cleared in K992875. They are the quantitative, automated hematology analyzer and leukocyte differential counter for In Vitro Diagnostic Use in clinical laboratories. These analyzers may be used in adult and pediatric population. Both analyzers are only to be used by trained laboratory professionals to identify the normal patient, with all normal system-generated parameters, and to flag or identify patient results that require additional studies. The analyzer provides analysis results of 21 parameters of human blood, 3 histograms and 1 scattergram. The performance comparison study results demonstrated that the BC-5390 Auto Hematology Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the XE-2100 Automated Hematology Analyzer (K992875) and the differences do not raise new questions of the safety and effectiveness.
