Ready-to-Use Format: Progesterone Receptor (16) monoclonal antibody is intended to be used for the qualitative identification by light microscopy of human progesterone receptor (PR) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by immunohistochemical staining using the automated BONDMAX system. Progesterone Receptor Clone (16) [PR (16)] specifically binds to the PR antigen located in the nucleus of PR positive normal and neoplastic cells. PR (16) is indicated as an aid in the management, prognosis and prediction of therapy outcome of breast cancer. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

I apologize, but the document you provided does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes for test or training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone performance, or the type of ground truth used.
The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to Leica Biosystems, Inc. regarding their BOND Ready-to-Use (RTU) Primary Antibody Progesterone Receptor (16) and Novocastra Liquid Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Progesterone Receptor Clone 16. It focuses on:
- FDA's substantial equivalence determination: Stating the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
- Regulatory information: Listing regulation numbers, names, and class.
- General controls and additional controls: Informing the manufacturer about applicable FDA regulations.
- Indications for Use: Describing the intended use of the devices for qualitative identification of human progesterone receptor in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue by immunohistochemical staining, primarily as an aid in breast cancer management, prognosis, and prediction of therapy outcome.
To provide the information you requested, I would need a different document, such as a study report, clinical trial summary, or a more detailed technical submission that includes performance data and methodology.
§ 864.1860 Immunohistochemistry reagents and kits.
(a)
Identification. Immunohistochemistry test systems (IHC's) are in vitro diagnostic devices consisting of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies labeled with directions for use and performance claims, which may be packaged with ancillary reagents in kits. Their intended use is to identify, by immunological techniques, antigens in tissues or cytologic specimens. Similar devices intended for use with flow cytometry devices are not considered IHC's.(b)
Classification of immunohistochemistry devices. (1) Class I (general controls). Except as described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, these devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements in part 807, subpart E of this chapter. This exemption applies to IHC's that provide the pathologist with adjunctive diagnostic information that may be incorporated into the pathologist's report, but that is not ordinarily reported to the clinician as an independent finding. These IHC's are used after the primary diagnosis of tumor (neoplasm) has been made by conventional histopathology using nonimmunologic histochemical stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin. Examples of class I IHC's are differentiation markers that are used as adjunctive tests to subclassify tumors, such as keratin.(2) Class II (special control, guidance document: “FDA Guidance for Submission of Immunohistochemistry Applications to the FDA,” Center for Devices and Radiologic Health, 1998). These IHC's are intended for the detection and/or measurement of certain target analytes in order to provide prognostic or predictive data that are not directly confirmed by routine histopathologic internal and external control specimens. These IHC's provide the pathologist with information that is ordinarily reported as independent diagnostic information to the ordering clinician, and the claims associated with these data are widely accepted and supported by valid scientific evidence. Examples of class II IHC's are those intended for semiquantitative measurement of an analyte, such as hormone receptors in breast cancer.
(3) Class III (premarket approval). IHC's intended for any use not described in paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section.
(c)
Date of PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is required for any device described in paragraph (b)(3) of this section before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 864.3.
