Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in lithium heparin plasma. The immunoassay is intended to aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on the cobas system analyzers. CalSet Troponin T Gen 5 STAT is used for calibrating the quantitative Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT immunoassay on the cobas system analyzers. PreciControl Troponin is used for quality control of the Elecsys Troponin I and Elecsys Troponin I STAT immunoassays on the Elecsys and cobas e immunoassay analyzers. PreciControl Troponin is also used for quality control of the Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT immunoassay on the cobas system analyzers. The Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 CalCheck 5 is an assayed control for use in the calibration verification and for use in the verification of the assay range established by the Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 reagent on the cobas system analyzers.
(1) The Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT Immunoassay is a two-step sandwich immunoassay on the cobas e 411analyzer and a one-step process on the cobas e 601 analyzer. The assay uses streptavidin-coated.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
-
Analytical Performance Test Sets:
- Precision:

Clinical Performance (Diagnostic Sensitivity and Specificity) Test Sets:
- APACE Population:
- Sample Size:
- Total enrolled: 718 subjects.
- Baseline test result: 718 subjects.
- Second test result (3 hour time point): 515 subjects.
- Test result (6 hour time point): 310 subjects.
- Data Provenance: International, multicentric prospective trial (APACE study, ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00470587.6). Countries of origin are not specified beyond "international".

- Data Provenance: Multicenter study. Countries of origin are not specified. Subjects were prospectively enrolled.
- Sample Size:
- APACE Population:
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Clinical Performance (APACE Population):
- Number of Experts: An "independent adjudication committee" was used. The document specifies that this committee "included cardiologists" and, "In the case of a disagreement, a third independent cardiologist was used as the tie breaker." This implies at least two cardiologists for initial adjudication and a third for tie-breaking, so a minimum of 3 experts involved in ground truth establishment for each case.
- Qualifications: "Cardiologists." No specific experience levels (e.g., "10 years of experience") are mentioned, but their specialization is stated.
- Clinical Performance (Second Multicenter Study):
- Number of Experts: An "independent adjudication committee" was used, which "included cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians." Similar to APACE, it implies multiple experts, but the exact number or tie-breaking mechanism is not detailed as explicitly as for APACE.
- Qualifications: "Cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians." No specific experience levels are mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Clinical Performance (APACE Population): "Diagnosis of MI was done through an independent adjudication committee which included cardiologists. This included 60 day follow-up information on each subject. In the case of a disagreement, a third independent cardiologist was used as the tie breaker." This is a "2+1" or similar consensus-based adjudication method.
- Clinical Performance (Second Multicenter Study): "Final diagnoses were determined by an independent adjudication committee which included cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians using the universal guidelines." While an independent committee is stated, the specific "tie-breaker" or "consensus" method is not as explicitly detailed as for APACE. No indication of a lack of adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document focuses on the performance of the immunoassay itself, both analytically (precision, linearity, interference, etc.) and clinically (diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) in aid of myocardial infarction diagnosis. It does not describe a study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance or any other form of AI. This is a submission for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This question is not directly applicable as the device is a laboratory immunoassay, which naturally performs "standalone" as an analytical instrument. The "performance" described is the standalone performance of the assay. There is no AI algorithm component mentioned or evaluated as a separate entity that would require a human-in-the-loop for its performance to be assessed.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Clinical Performance:
- For both clinical studies (APACE and the second multicenter study), the ground truth for Myocardial Infarction (MI) diagnosis was established by an independent adjudication committee composed of medical experts (cardiologists and/or emergency medicine physicians). This adjudication was based on "diagnostic criteria described in the ACC/ESC/AHA guidelines reference including ECG changes, symptoms characteristic for ischemia and elevations of cardiac troponin," and "60 day follow-up information on each subject" for the APACE study. This falls under expert consensus guided by clinical outcomes data and established guidelines.
- Analytical Performance:
- For analytical studies (precision, linearity, interference, stability, etc.), the ground truth relies on reference methods, spiked samples with known concentrations, or comparison to fresh/unstressed samples, which are standard practices for IVD assay validation.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable/provided. This submission is for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay, not a machine learning or AI model. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of an algorithm that learns from data. The studies described are validation studies for the assay's analytical and clinical performance.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not applicable/provided for the same reason as above (no training set for an AI/ML algorithm).

Analytical Performance
Precision
Precision of the TnT Gen 5 STAT assay was evaluated on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 analyzer.
Methods:
Within-run precision (repeatability) and total imprecision (intermediate precision) were determined according to the CLSI Guideline EP5-A2.
The protocol consisted of testing different sets of plasma samples and controls in single determinations in four separate aliquots (divided in two runs per day) for 21 operating days (n=84). The measurements were performed on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 with three reagent lots, performing rackpack calibration according to instruction for use.
Results:
Precision goals were met on both instruments and are summarized below.

Troponin T value at intermediate precision of CV = 10%
In addition, we report the value where a CV of ± 10% can be achieved in our product insert. This was determined according to CLSI EP17-A2.
The accuracy goal was defined as intermediate precision equal to a CV of 10 % , using the CLSI EP5-A2 20 day protocol to estimate intermediate precision. Ten Li-Heparin plasma pools were prepared across the low-end of the measuring range of the assay. Data were collected with two lots over 21 days, two runs per day with two replicates per run. Estimates of mean and intermediate precision were calculated for each sample.
The functional relationship between CV and concentration is modeled according to the suggestion in EP17 as:
%CV = A*concentrationB
To simplify the fit of the data, the CV and the mean are log-transformed. “Log” here refers to the natural logarithm. After log-transformation a linear regression using least squares can be performed and the model looks like this:
$log(%CV) = A + B * log(concentration)$
With X = log(A)
Results are visually assessed and the goodness of fit of the data is evaluated.
The concentration where 10% CV is achieved is calculated by:
$$\text{concentration} = \exp(\frac{\log(\mathbf{100}) - \mathcal{A}}{\mathbf{E}})$$

LoQ
LoQ/Functional Sensitivity
Methods:
LoO of the Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay was determined according to CLSI EP17-A2.
LoO is defined as the lowest amount of analyte that can be quantitatively established with stated accuracy and stated experimental conditions. The LoQ was set as the lowest concentration of analyte which can be quantified with a CV (intermediate precision) of no more than 20%.
Limit of Quantitation as Functional Sensitivity:
Functional sensitivity has been used as a detection capability performance attribute for the TnTGen5 Assay. It represents the measurand concentration associated with a desired within-lab (intermediate) precision, based upon a precision profile experiment in the low-end region of the measuring interval. This performance attribute however, simply represents a limiting form of the limit of quantitation (LoQ) in which the acceptable accuracy goal is based solely upon a precision requirement. This is suggested by CLSI EP5-A2 for troponin.
The accuracy goal was defined as intermediate precision equal to 20 % CV, using the CLSI EP5-A2 20 day protocol to estimate intermediate precision.
Ten Li-Heparin plasma pools were prepared across the low-end region of the measuring interval and in addition two controls were included. Data were collected with two lots over 21 days, two runs per day with two replicates per run. Estimates of the mean and intermediate precision were calculated for each sample for each reagent lot.
Total CV is based on the total variance, calculated as the sum of the variance components from day, run and within run (2122 = 84 measurements). The square root from the total variance divided by the grand mean times 100 is the results for the total CV [%]. The calculation of the variance components is based on a strict hierarchical model with random factors according CLSI EP5-A2.
{12}------------------------------------------------
The functional relationship between CV and concentration is modeled according to the suggestion in EP17 as:
%CV = A*concentration$^B$
To simplify the fit of the data, the CV and the mean are log-transformed. "Log" here refers to the natural logarithm. After log-transformation a linear regression using least squares can be performed and the model looks like this:
log(%CV) = $A$+ $B$ * log(concentration) With $A$ = log(A)
Results are visually assessed and the goodness of fit of the data is evaluated.
The concentration where 20% CV is achieved is calculated by:
log(20) concentration = exp B
Specification: 20% CV (intermediate precision) at ≤ 6 ng/L

For visual illustration the graphs below show the relationship between the total CV (log transformed) and concentration (log transformed).

Linearity
Methods:
The linearity of the Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay was assessed on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer by diluting one high analyte plasma sample (spiked with recombinant TnT) with native low analyte plasma. 21 concentrations (19
{14}------------------------------------------------
dilutions) throughout the measuring range were prepared. The dilutions were measured in three-fold determination within a single run using one lot.
In the first step, a linearity check was performed with a first order (linear) regression analysis and then with higher order models (quadratic and cubic). Data were analyzed using linear, quadratic and cubic order least square regression analysis according to CLSI protocol EP6-A:
y = a + b1 * x (first order polynomial or linear fit) y = a + b1 * x + b2 * x$^2$ (second order polynomial fit [quadratic]) y = a + b1 * x + b2 * x$^2$ + b3 * x$^3$ (third order polynomial fit[cubic])
Results:
The nonlinear coefficient b2 in the second order model (polynomial fit [quadratic]) is significant at the 5% level. Therefore it is used for the calculation of deviation from linearity. For cobas e 411, the test results did not deviate from linearity by more than 6.3%. For cobas e 601, the test results did not deviate from linearity by more than 12.4%.
Linearity was confirmed in the overall range from 3.19 ng/L to 10,439 ng/L. The labeled measuring range is 6 – 10000 ng/L.
High Dose Hook Effect
Methods:
The high dose hook effect of the Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay was assessed on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzer.
Two samples were spiked with analyte to high TnT concentrations. For each sample a dilution series was performed using a low TnT concentration Li-Hep plasma.
The hook concentration reported corresponds to the analyte concentration with a signal corresponding to at least 10% above the highest master calibrator.
Results:
No hook effect was seen up to 100,000 ng/L
Endogenous Interferences
Methods:
The effect on quantitation of analyte in the presence of endogenous interfering substances using the Troponin T Gen 5 STAT was determined on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 immunoassay analyzers for the following 7 interfering substances. Intralipid, biotin, bilirubin, hemoglobin, rheumatoid factors, cholesterol and human serum albumin using three native or spiked (for Bilirubin and Lipemia interference) plasma samples (one low, one medium, and one high concentration of Troponin T) to prepare dilution series that were tested with one reagent lot.
{15}------------------------------------------------
Results:
Recoveries of samples containing interferents were within ± 10% of the values measured in samples not containing interferents.
Labeling states the following:
| Interfering Substance | No interference seen up to: |

HAMA Interference
The effect of the presence of human anti-mouse-antibodies on the TnT Gen 5 STAT assay was assessed on the cobas e 411 and cobas e 601 analyzers. Samples with three different levels of TnT were spiked with potential interfering HAMA and tested in duplicate. The HAMA serum used for the interference testing has been tested in an external laboratory with a commercial assay yielding a HAMA concentration of 805 ug/L.
Results:
Interference of approximately 10% was seen with HAMA concentrations > 322 µg/L.
Analytical Specificity/Cross Reactivity

Troponin T Gen 5 STAT Clinical Performance
Expected Values: Healthy Reference Cohort
A total of 1301 healthy subjects (656 females, 645 males), were enrolled and included in the testing for determining the 99th percentile upper reference limit of a normal US population (age range 21 to 89 years) using the Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay. in lithium heparin samples on both the cobas e 411 and the cobas e 601 analyzers. The 99th percentile upper reference limits were determined to be:
- 19 ng/L for both genders (n = 1301)
- 14 ng/L for females (n = 656)
- 22 ng/L for males (n = 645)
The Universal Definition of AMI takes into consideration the ESC/ACC/AHA/WHF definition. These guidelines recommend the detection of at least one value above the 99th percentile and a rise and/or fall of cardiac troponin in the clinical setting of acute myocardial ischemia. 1
Diagnostic Sensitivity and Specificity
APACE Population
The Advantageous Predictors of Acute Coronary Syndromes Evaluation (APACE) study is an international, multicentric prospective trial of acute chest pain patients that is currently continuing enrollment (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00470587.6). The study sites enrolled all patients who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of chest pain and angina pectoris. Peak of symptoms had to have occurred within the last 12 hours (onset of symptoms reported ranged from 0 to 72 hours). The only exclusion criterion was kidney failure that required dialysis. Diagnosis of MI was done through an independent adjudication committee which included cardiologists. This included 60 day follow-up information on each subject. In the case of a disagreement, a third independent cardiologist was used as the tie breaker. The subjects were diagnosed with acute MI by using the diagnostic criteria described in the ACC/ESC/AHA guidelines reference including ECG changes, symptoms characteristic for ischemia and elevations of cardiac troponin. All 718 subjects had a baseline test result. Five hundred fifteen (515) of the 718 subjects had a second test result at the 3 hour time point and 310 (of the 718) subjects had a test result at the 6 hour time point.
Results:
The clinical performance (clinical sensitivity, clinical specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value) of the Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay in the diagnosis of MI in this trial is shown below using a single 99th percentile cutoff 19 ng/L for all patients:

Females using 14ng/L cut-off
The positive predictive value for females using the lower sex-specific cutoff (14 ng/L) is lower when compared to the higher cutoff of 19 ng/L. When looking at the lower bound of the 95 % CI, up to 69 %, 82 % and 78 % of positive test results for females are non-MI. Troponin results should always be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
These observations underline the Universal AMI guideline requirements to use troponin results always in conjunction with at least one of the following criteria: symptoms of ischemia, ECG changes (ST and/or Q wave), left bundle branch block, imaging evidence of viable myocardium loss, wall motion abnormality or intracoronary thrombus to clarify the origin of myocardial injury.

{22}------------------------------------------------
In a second multicenter study, a total of 1679 subjects presenting emergently with chest pain were enrolled. The trial excluded chest pain subjects with an MI within the last 3 months, subjects with surgery or hospitalization within the last 3 months, subjects with revascularization or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within the last 3 months, subjects with an established acute non-cardiac primary illness and subjects transferred from another hospital or facility. These excluded subjects could be expected to have elevated troponin concentrations that would likely reflect cardiac comorbidities besides MI, and yield positive results; therefore, the specificity and positive predictive value may be overestimated. Within this population, there were 173 adjudicated MIs. 1679 of these subjects were evaluated on the cobas e 411 analyzer and 1675 subjects were evaluated on the cobas e 601 analyzer. Final diagnoses were determined by an independent adjudication committee which included cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians using the universal guidelines.
The clinical performance of the Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay in the diagnosis of MI in this trial is shown below using a single 99th percentile cutoff (i.e., 19 ng/L) for all patients:

The positive predictive value for females using the lower sex-specific cutoff (14 ng/L) is lower when compared to the higher cutoff of 19 ng/L. When looking at the lower bound of the 95 % CI, up to 69 %, 82 % and 78 % of positive test results for females are non-MI. Troponin results should always be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
These observations underline the Universal AMI guideline requirements to use troponin results always in conjunction with at least one of the following criteria: symptoms of ischemia, ECG changes (ST and/or Q wave), left bundle branch block, imaging evidence of viable myocardium loss, wall motion abnormality or intracoronary thrombus to clarify the origin of myocardial injury.
