Intended Use
The STA® - Liatest® D-Di kit is an immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in venous plasma (3.2% sodium citrate) for use on STA-R®, STA Compact® and STA Satellite® analyzers by professional laboratory personnel. The STA® - Liates® D-Di is intended for use in conjunction with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) assessment model to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in outpatients suspected of PE or DVT.
Device Description
STA® - Liatest® D-Di kit contains: 6 x 5-ml vials of ready-for-use Tris buffer and 6 x 6-ml vials of a suspension of microlatex particles coated with two different mouse monoclonal anti-human D-dimer antibodies (8D2 and 2.1.16) stabilized with bovine albumin. The test principle is based on the change in turbidity of a microparticle suspension that is measured by photometry. A suspension of latex microparticles, coated by covalent bonding with monoclonal antibodies specific for D-dimer is mixed with the test plasma for which the D-dimer level is to be assayed. An antigen-antibody reaction takes place, leading to an agglutination of the latex microparticles which causes an increase in turbidity of the reaction medium. This increase in turbidity is reflected by an increase in absorbance, the latter being measured photometrically. The increase in absorbance is a function of the D-dimer level present in the test sample.
More Information

No
The device is a laboratory assay kit that uses an immuno-turbidimetric method to measure D-dimer levels. The summary describes a chemical reaction and photometric measurement, not AI/ML algorithms. While the intended use mentions a clinical pretest probability (PTP) assessment model, the device itself is the assay kit, not the model.

No
The device is an in-vitro diagnostic test intended for quantitative determination of D-dimer to help exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). It does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

This device is an immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in venous plasma, intended for use in conjunction with a clinical pretest probability assessment model to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). This directly indicates its use in diagnosing or ruling out these conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "kit" containing vials of buffer and microlatex particles, which are physical components, not software. The test principle is based on a chemical reaction and photometric measurement, requiring hardware (analyzers) to function.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's an "immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in venous plasma... for use on STA-R®, STA Compact® and STA Satellite® analyzers by professional laboratory personnel." This describes a test performed on a biological sample (venous plasma) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status (D-dimer levels).
  • Device Description: The description details the reagents (Tris buffer, microlatex particles coated with antibodies) and the test principle (antigen-antibody reaction leading to turbidity measured by photometry). This is consistent with the components and methodology of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Anatomical Site: The "Not applicable. No direct patient contact." further supports that the test is performed on a sample taken from the patient, not directly on the patient's body.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended users are "professional laboratory personnel" in a "Hospital Laboratory or other Health Care Laboratory," which are typical settings for performing IVD tests.
  • Performance Studies: The description of clinical studies involving testing patient samples (plasma) to evaluate the device's performance in diagnosing or ruling out conditions (DVT) is characteristic of the validation required for IVD devices.
  • Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices like "VIDAS® D-Dimer Exclusion™" (K040882) which are known IVD devices, further confirms the classification of this device.

All these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A clinical multi-center study (16 sites over the United States, Europe and Canada), conducted according to CLSI H59-A, was performed to demonstrate the ability of STA® - Liatest® D-Di to safely rule-out DVT by using samples of prospective, consecutive, ambulatory outpatients (presenting at the emergency unit or outpatient clinic) suspected of having venous thromboembolism (VTE).

The study population was recruited from prospective, ambulatory outpatients suspected of having DVT. After consenting, these patients were evaluated using the Wells score as pretest probability (PTP) model:

  • Patients with low or moderate PTP were considered for D-dimer testing:
    • those with positive D-dimer result were considered for an imaging procedure ●
    • those with negative D-dimer result were considered as not having DVT and . assigned to a three month follow up.
  • Patients with high PTP were considered for an imaging procedure and not included in the study's primary analyses.

D-dimer assays were carried out using STA® - Liatest® D-Di on fresh plasma samples or on frozen plasma samples tested within 30 days of blood collection.

For primary efficacy analysis the population of interest was limited to patients with a PTP result low or moderate. In this group, only patients with a negative D-dimer result had a follow up call or visit at 3 months.

Summary of Performance Studies

A clinical multi-center study (16 sites over the United States, Europe and Canada), conducted according to CLSI H59-A, was performed to demonstrate the ability of STA® - Liatest® D-Di to safely rule-out DVT.
980 samples of patients with a low or moderate PTP were included in the primary efficacy analyses (79 suspects of DVT and PE and 901 suspects of DVT only).
Of the 980 samples, 85 were from DVT positive and 895 from DVT negative patients.
The overall prevalence of DVT (low and moderate PTP patients with positive imaging) in the prospective study population was 8.4 % with 6.0 % in the US population and 9.8% in the European/Canadian ("out of US") population.
Primary efficacy analyses of the study included calculation of two co-primary parameters: Negative Predicted Value (NPV) and Sensitivity which were tested versus four (4) performance goals-two using 95 % two-sided confidence intervals (CI) and two versus point estimates.
All the efficacy parameters with upper and lower limit of 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated in the overall study population, and separately for the US population and the "out of US" population with the STA® - Liatest® D-Di clinical cut-off of 0.50 µg/ml (FEU) in the (low + moderate) PTP group of patients.

Overall Study Population (n=980):
Sensitivity (95 % CI) = 100% (95.8% - 100%)
Specificity (95 % CI) = 55.2% (51.9% - 58.5%)
NPV (95 % CI) = 100% (99.3% - 100%)
PPV (95 % CI) = 17.5% (14.2% - 21.2%)

US Prospective Study Population (n=369):
Sensitivity (95 % CI) = 100% (84.6% - 100%)
Specificity (95 % CI) = 58.2% (52.8% - 63.5%)
NPV (95 % CI) = 100% (98.2% - 100%)
PPV (95 % CI) = 13.2% (8.4% - 19.3%)

Out of US Study Population (n=611):
Sensitivity (95 % CI) = 100% (94.3%-100%)
Specificity (95 % CI) = 53.3% (49.0%-57.5%)
NPV (95 % CI) = 100% (98.7%-100%)
PPV (95 % CI) = 19.7% (15.5%-24.5%)

This study demonstrates that the STA® - Liatest® D-Di is effective in excluding deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patient with a low or moderate PTP and a D-dimer level

✓ Previous Device Intended Use

The STA® - Liatest® D-Di kit is an immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in venous plasma (in 3.2% sodium citrate) for use on STA-R®, STA Compact® and STA Satellite® analyzers by professional laboratory personnel. The STA® -Liatest® D-Di is intended for use in conjunction with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) assessment model to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) and as an aid in the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in outpatients suspected of PE or DVT.

Device description:

STA® - Liatest® D-Di kit contains: 6 x 5-ml vials of ready-for-use Tris buffer and 6 x 6-ml vials of a suspension of microlatex particles coated with two different mouse monoclonal anti-human D-dimer antibodies (8D2 and 2.1.16) stabilized with bovine albumin.

The test principle is based on the change in turbidity of a microparticle suspension that is measured by photometry. A suspension of latex microparticles, coated by covalent bonding with monoclonal antibodies specific for D-dimer is mixed with the test plasma for which the D-dimer level is to be assayed. An antigen-antibody reaction takes place, leading to an agglutination of the latex microparticles which causes an increase in turbidity of the reaction medium. This increase in turbidity is reflected by an increase in absorbance, the latter being measured photometrically. The increase in absorbance is a function of the D-dimer level present in the test sample.

Statement of technological characteristics of the device compared to predicate device:

The STA® - Liatest® D-Di kit and the Vidas® D-Dimer Exclusion™ (K040882) have different assay method and test principle. However, both kits are equivalent considering their intended use for excluding PE and DVT.

Above the word is an abstract graphic element, also in reddish-brown and gray. The graphic element appears to be composed of three curved shapes arranged in a circular fashion.

The study product was used in accordance with routine clinical practice and sites used imaging procedures according to standard of care.

Results:

980 samples of patients with a low or moderate PTP were included in the primary efficacy analyses (79 suspects of DVT and PE and 901 suspects of DVT only).

Of the 980 samples, 85 were from DVT positive and 895 from DVT negative patients.

The overall prevalence of DVT (low and moderate PTP patients with positive imaging) in the prospective study population was 8.4 % with 6.0 % in the US population and 9.8% in the European/Canadian ("out of US") population.

Primary efficacy analyses of the study included calculation of two co-primary parameters: Negative Predicted Value (NPV) and Sensitivity which were tested versus four (4) performance goals-two using 95 % two-sided confidence intervals (CI) and two versus point estimates.

All the efficacy parameters with upper and lower limit of 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated in the overall study population, and separately for the US population and the "out of US" population with the STA® - Liatest® D-Di clinical cut-off of 0.50 µg/ml (FEU) in the (low + moderate) PTP group of patients.
