The Access AMH assay is a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in human serum and lithium heparin plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems as an aid in the assessment of ovarian reserve in women presenting to fertility clinics. This system is intended to distinguish between women presenting with AFC (antral follicle count) values > 15 (high ovarian reserve) and women with AFC values ≤ 15 (normal or diminished ovarian reserve). The Access AMH is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings such as antral follicle count, before starting fertility therapy. The Access AMH is not intended to be used for monitoring of women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation in an Assisted Reproduction Technology program.
The Access AMH assay, Access AMH Calibrators, Access AMH QC, along with the Access 2 Immunoassay System analyzer comprise the Access Immunoassay System for the quantitative determination of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in human serum and plasma.
This document describes the Beckman Coulter Access AMH assay, a paramagnetic particle chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels.

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance
-
Clinical Study Test Set:
- Sample Size: 164 women.
- Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-center, conducted at 13 geographically diverse sites in the US.
- Inclusion Criteria: ≥ 21 and < 46 years of age (mean 34.9, range 23-45), in first cycle of ovarian stimulation for IVF or IVF/ICSI, both ovaries present, regular menstrual cycle, no confirmed PCOS. The mean BMI was 25.1 ± 5.3.
- Measurements: AFC and AMH determined on days 2-4 of the same spontaneous menstrual cycle.
-
Analytical Performance Test Sets (Various):
- Imprecision: N/A (samples were artificial/controls for statistical analysis of variability).
- Reproducibility: N=320 (calculated from 4 instruments, 4 replicates, 2 runs/day, 10 days for 6 samples and 3 QC samples).
- High-dose Hook Effect: N/A (spiked normal human serum).
- Dilution Recovery: N/A (serum and plasma samples across the range).
- Analytical Specificity / Cross-reactivity: N/A (serum samples spiked with interfering/cross-reacting substances).
- Matrix Comparison: 57 matched sets of serum (gel and no gel) and plasma (lithium-heparin) samples.
- Method Comparison: 121 values (samples) across the range of the assay.
- Expected Reference Intervals: Prospectively procured from apparently healthy, non-pregnant females at five (5) geographically diverse sites. Sample sizes per age group: 120 (18-25), 131 (26-30), 120 (31-35), 123 (36-40), 126 (41-45). Subjects had regular menstrual cycles, both ovaries present, and proven fertility.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The ground truth for the clinical study was Antral Follicle Count (AFC), determined by transvaginal ultrasonography. The document does not specify the number of experts (e.g., sonographers or radiologists) who performed or interpreted these ultrasounds, nor their specific qualifications. It only states an "AFC result was determined by transvaginal ultrasonography, which measured follicles of 2 to 10 mm in diameter."
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. The ground truth (AFC) was an objective measurement performed via ultrasonography, not a subjective interpretation requiring adjudication among human readers.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay, not an AI-powered image analysis or diagnostic aid for human readers. It provides a quantitative AMH value.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, the device's performance is standalone. It's an automated immunoassay system that provides a quantitative AMH measurement directly. The results of the analytical and clinical studies demonstrate this standalone performance. The clinical study correlates the AMH values from the device with AFC, which is a separate clinical measurement, to demonstrate its utility as an "aid in the assessment." The device itself produces a direct, quantitative output.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The primary ground truth for the clinical utility study was Antral Follicle Count (AFC), determined by transvaginal ultrasonography. This is a direct clinical measurement used to assess ovarian reserve.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is an immunoassay technology, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense (e.g., for AI model development). The development and calibration of the assay would typically involve extensive analytical studies and optimization using various reagent lots, calibrators, and QC materials, rather than a distinct "training set" of patient data for model learning. The described studies are primarily validation and verification studies.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as this is an immunoassay rather than a machine learning model requiring a "training set" with ground truth in the AI context. The assay itself measures AMH levels directly, and its analytical performance is established through rigorous laboratory testing and comparative studies against predicate devices and clinical parameters like AFC.

| Serum Gel vs. Serum No Gel | 0.99 | 0.20 to 13.75 | 57 |
Method Comparison: A comparison of 121 values across the range of the assay using the Access AMH assay on the Access 2 Immunoassay system and a commercially available immunoassay kit gave the following statistical data using Passing Bablok regression and Spearman correlation for the r calculation:
| N | Range ofObservations (ng/mL) | Intercept(ng/mL) | Slope(95% CI) | CorrelationCoefficient (r) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 121 | 0.070 to 22.80 | 0.04 | 1.03 (1.01 – 1.06) | 0.99 |
Access AMH Clinical Study: A multicenter, clinical study of 164 women was used to correlate AMH values to the antral follicle count (AFC) in women presenting to fertility clinics for evaluation. The trial enrolled women at 13 geographically diverse sites in the US who were between ≥ 21 and < 46 years of age (mean age 34.9 years, range of 23 to 45 years). The women were in their first cycle of ovarian stimulation for IVF or IVF/ICSI, with both ovaries present and a reqular menstrual cycle, and without confirmed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The mean body mass index (BMI) of all participating women averaged 25.1 with a standard deviation of ± 5.3. The AFC result was determined by transvaginal ultrasonography, which measured follicles of 2 to 10 mm in diameter. The AFC and AMH were determined on days 2 - 4 of the same spontaneous menstrual cycle. The trial demonstrated that the AMH levels measured for these subjects (N) correlate well with the AFC results (r = 0.77, p < 0.0001).
{13}------------------------------------------------
The AFC results were sorted into 2 groups: ≤ 15 (67%) or > 15 (33%). For the > 15 AFC group the AMH cutoff is 1.77 ng/mL. The corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 59.1%, respectively. For patients with an AMH concentration that was > 1.77 ng/mL, 52% were in the > 15 AFC group and 48% were in the ≤ 15 AFC group. The study results support the system can distinguish between women with AFC values > 15 (high ovarian reserve) and women with AFC values ≤ 15 (normal or diminished ovarian reserve).
Expected Reference Intervals: The serum and plasma samples were prospectively procured from apparently healthy, non-pregnant females at five (5) geographically diverse sites. Subjects were required to have regular menstrual cycles between 21 and 35 days, both ovaries present, and proven fertility. Populations studied are described by group in the table below.
