Intended Use

The LOCI Vitamin D Total assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of total 25(OH)yitamin D in human serum and plasma on the Dimension® EXL™ integrated chemistry system with LOCI® Module. Measurements of vitamin D are used in the assessment of vitamin D sufficiency.

The LOCI VITD CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the Vitamin D (VITD) Total assay on the Dimension® EXL™ integrated chemistry system with LOCI® module.

Device Description

LOCI Vitamin D Total assay:
The LOCI Vitamin D Total assay is a homogeneous competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay based on LOCI technology. The assay measures the total 25(OH)vitamin D concentration [comprising both 25(OH)vitamin D2 and 25(OH)vitamin D3] in both serum and plasma. LOCI Vitamin D Total reagents include a releasing reagent, biotinylated monoclonal antibody, and two synthetic bead reagents. Patient sample is incubated with the releasing reagent to release 25(OH)vitamin D molecules from the vitamin D-binding proteins. The reaction mixture is then incubated with biotinylated antibody to form a 25(OH)vitamin D/biotinylated antibody complex.

Chemibeads containing 25(OH)vitamin D3 analog and chemiluminescent dye are added to remove the excess free biotinylated antibody. Streptavidin-coated Sensibeads containing a photosensitive dye are added to bind the biotinylated antibody. Aqqregates of the Chemibead analog/biotinylated antibody/streptavidin Sensibeads are formed as a result. Illumination of the reaction mixture by light at 680 nm generates singlet oxygen from the Sensibeads, which diffuses into the Chemibeads and triagers a chemiluminescent reaction. The resulting chemiluminescent signal is measured at 612 nm and is inversely proportional to the concentration of total 25(OH)vitamin D in the sample.

LOCI VITD CAL:
The LOCI VITD CAL is a five level, liquid, single analyte, frozen product, which is stored at -15 ℃ to -25 ℃. The calibrator matrix consists of processed human serum with preservatives and stabilizers. Level 1 is a zero level, while levels 2 3, 4, and 5 contain approximately 12, 30, 75, and 165 ng/mL respectively. Each lot of calibrators will have lot specific assigned values assigned from master pool levels that are traceable by method correlation to Ghent University's ID-LC/MS/MS 25(OH)vitamin D Reference Method Procedure (RMP). The ID-LC/MS/MS RMP is traceable to the NIST SRM 2972.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the LOCI Vitamin D Total Assay and LOCI VITD CAL, focusing on acceptance criteria and the supporting studies:

Summary of Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for LOCI Vitamin D Total Assay

Unfortunately, the provided document does not explicitly state predetermined "acceptance criteria" for each performance characteristic in a table format, nor does it provide a direct statement "proving the device meets acceptance criteria."

Instead, the document describes the methods and presents the results of various performance studies. The implication is that these results demonstrate the device's acceptable performance for its intended use, based on generally accepted analytical performance standards in the medical device industry (e.g., CLSI guidelines).

However, I can extract the reported performance and infer what aspects would likely be critical for acceptance.

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

  • Ground Truth for Method Comparison: The "ground truth" for the method comparison study was established by the ID-LC-MS/MS 25(OH) vitamin D Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP) from Ghent University, which is traceable to the NIST Standard SRM2972. This is a highly specialized analytical method, not typically performed by "experts" in the sense of a medical professional consensus. It's a gold-standard laboratory technique.
  • Other Studies: For other performance characteristics, the ground truth is based on the known concentrations of controls, calibrators, spiked samples, or reference materials, which are established through rigorous analytical methodology rather than expert consensus on a clinical case.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This type of information (e.g., 2+1, 3+1 for clinical consensus) is not applicable to an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay product like the LOCI Vitamin D Total Assay. Adjudication methods are typically used in imaging studies or clinical trials where human interpretation of data (e.g., images, patient symptoms) is subject to variability and requires consensus among experts to establish a "ground truth" or clinical outcome. For IVD assays, the "ground truth" is largely analytical, based on reference methods or known concentrations.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size of Human Reader Improvement

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is primarily relevant for medical imaging AI devices where human readers interpret images, and the AI serves as an aid. The LOCI Vitamin D Total Assay is an automated in vitro diagnostic assay, where the output is a quantitative measurement, not an image requiring human interpretation or a "reader."


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

The entire set of performance characteristic studies for the LOCI Vitamin D Total Assay (e.g., precision, linearity, method comparison, interference) evaluates the standalone performance of the assay. It's an automated system (Dimension EXL integrated chemistry system with LOCI Module), and the results presented reflect the assay's output without direct human "in-the-loop" interpretation for each individual test result beyond the initial setup and quality control.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the critical method comparison study and calibrator traceability is traceability to a reference measurement procedure (RMP) and standard reference materials (SRM):

  • For Method Comparison: Ghent University's ID-LC-MS/MS 25(OH) vitamin D Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP), traceable to NIST SRM 2972. This is considered a highly accurate and precise analytical "gold standard."
  • For Calibrators (LOCI VITD CAL): Internal standards traceable by method correlation to Ghent University's ID-LC-MS/MS 25(OH) vitamin D RMP, which is traceable to NIST SRM 2972.
  • For other studies (e.g., precision, linearity, recovery, detection capability, interference): Known concentrations of controls, calibrators, or prepared spiked samples.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information about a "training set" because this is an in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires an explicit training phase on a dataset of patient results. The development process for such assays involves extensive R&D, reagent formulation, and analytical validation but not "training" in the machine learning sense.


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

Since there is no explicit "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm, this question is not applicable as per the understanding derived from the document. The "ground truth" for the analytical performance of the assay and its calibrators is established as described in point 7.

Linearity across the assay range, 5.0 - 150.0 ng/mL [12.5 - 375.0 nmol/L] was confirmed by testing a sample with a high concentration of vitamin D and serially diluting with a sample of low concentration vitamin D. Each dilution was assayed in replicates of n=5. Linear regression of observed (y) vs. expected values(x) vielded a slope of 1.02, an intercept of 1.4 ng/mL and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.998. Percent bias between observed and predicted values was within the allowable 10% deviation from the linear fit.

Recovery

Known amounts of 25(OH)vitamin Dz (30 ng/mL [75.0 nmol/L]) and 25(OH)vitamin-D3 (30 ng/mL [75.0 nmol/L]) were added to separate serum samples containing vitamin D at 28.3 ng/dL [70.8 nmol/L] and 54.7 ng/mL [136.8 nmol/L].

Detection Capability

The Limit of Detection (LoD) for the VITD assay is 1.3 ng/mL [3.3 nmol/L], determined consistent with CLSI guideline EP17-A2 Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures and with proportions of false positives (q) less than 5% and false negatives (ß) less than 5%; based on 120 determinations, with 60 blank and 60 low level replicates. The Limit of Blank (LoB) is 0.8 ng/mL [2.0 nmol/L].

Limit of Quantitation

The limit of quantitation (LoQ) was determined consistent with the CLSI Guideline EP17-A2. TheLoQ for the VITD assay is 5.0 ng/mL [12.5 nmol/L] at a total precision of ≤20% CV. LoQ is defined as the lowest concentration of 25(OH)vitamin D that can be detected at total precision CV of ≤20%.

Interference Testing

Interference testing was performed according to CLSI EP07-A2: Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry to determine the effect of various endogenous and exogenous substances on the LOCI Vitamin D Total assay. For all interferents, the percent bias was determined by testing a control sample without the interferent and comparing it to the value obtained from a test sample to which the potential interferent had been added. Interferents were tested at three levels of vitamin D concentrations: 13.9-16.9 ng/mL, 28.4-32.0 ng/mL and 70.2-77.3 ng/mL. For each spiked sample, the % recovery was determined. Using 10% as the allowable clinically acceptable threshold for interference, the data below summarizes the concentration of interfering substance tested where there is no interference and the concentration of the interfering substance where interference is first observed.

Hemolysis, Icterus, Lipemia (HIL) Interference

Bias is the difference in the results between the control sample (without the interferent) and the test sample (contains the interferent) expressed in percent. Bias exceeding 10% is considered interference.

Vitamin D levels may vary according to factors such as geography, season, or the patient's health, diet, age, ethnic origin, use of vitamin D supplementation or environment. To assure proper representation of specific populations, each laboratory should establish its own reference intervals.

Health Based Reference Values:

Health-based reference values based on Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee of the Endocrine Society Task Force are recommended to replace population based reference values. A review of the available literature suggests that the recommendations for 25(OH)vitamin D levels are summarized in the table below. Consult the listed references for discussion of vitamin D toxicity levels.

Vitamin D StatusRange, Adult25(OH)vitamin Dng/mL[nmol/L]
Deficient< 20 [<50]
Insufficient20 - < 30 [50 - <75]
Sufficient30 - 100 [75 - 250]

Observed Values in an Apparently Healthy Population:

Data using the LOCI Vitamin D Total assay were obtained on serum samples collected from 252 adults: 246 adults not taking supplements containing vitamin D, and 6 adults taking supplements containing vitamin D. To represent a broad spectrum of UV light exposure in intended use population, the blood samples tested were collected during different seasons and from subjects residing in diverse U.S. geographical locations. Samples with abnormal values for PTH, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and TSH were excluded from this study.

Based on the 95% confidence interval, the following values were established following CLSI quideline EP28-A3c.

The following 25(OH)vitamin D values were obtained:
