The 13C measurement method for both the subject and the cleared (predicate) versions of the BreathID® Hp Lab systems is based on Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ (MCS) technology. MCS technology is based on the concept of optical absorption of specific radiation emitted from CO2 discharge lamps.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the electro-optical measurement of CO2 ratios and the computation of the Delta over Baseline (DOB) using established Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ (MCS) technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms used in the device's operation or data analysis.

No
The device is described as an aid in diagnosis and monitoring, meaning it helps identify a condition or track its progress, rather than providing direct treatment.

Yes

The intended use of the device is to aid in the initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of an "electro-optical medical device with embedded software" and an "Auto Sampler," in addition to the software components. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the system is used to "measure changes in the 1300/14CO2 ratio of exhaled breath, which may be indicative of increased urease production associated with active Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the stomach." This involves analyzing a sample (exhaled breath) taken from the human body to provide information about a disease state (H. pylori infection).
  • Device Description: The device description details how the system measures and computes the ratio of isotopes in exhaled breath after the ingestion of a substance (13C-urea). This process is performed in vitro (outside the body) on the collected breath sample.
  • Components: The system includes a "test kit" with components like a 13C-urea tablet and citric acid, which are used to facilitate the diagnostic test performed on the breath sample.
  • Diagnostic Aid: The intended use states it is "indicated for use as an aid in the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection." This clearly positions the device as a tool used in the diagnostic process.

The analysis of a biological sample (exhaled breath) outside the body to aid in the diagnosis of a disease is the core definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

A multi-center, non-randomized, open label study was conducted with the primary goal of confirming the safety of the 13C-urea substrate in pediatric subjects, and a secondary goal of assessing performance of the BreathID® Hp Lab System using breath sample bags in this population, compared to stool antigen testing. Supported by existing clinical performance in the adult population, device performance was assessed in a limited clinical study in a pediatric population as described below. The study was not powered to assess efficacy. A central laboratory analyzed the stool specimens with an FDA cleared H. pylori stool antigen test. The study was conducted at 6 clinical sites that were geographically diverse, differing in size (from small private clinics to large hospitals), diverse in experience representing both point of care testing as well as sites utilizing a clinical laboratory. Local site personnel were trained on administering the breath test. To represent point of care and clinical laboratory settings, the bagged sample analysis was performed either on site or at a central laboratory using a BreathID® Hp Lab System.

Comparison of Intended Use:

The intended use of the BreathID® Hp Lab System is substantially equivalent to its predicate; both are intended for the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection in patients, and both are prescription devices. The BreathID® Hp Lab System which is the subject device is indicted for use on both adult and pediatric patients

7

ages 3-17 years old, while the predicate device is only indicated for adult patients. In addition, the subject device has minor software and hardware changes which have no effect on the fundamental intended use or indications for use of the system nor do they alter the system diagnostic characteristics or raise any new safety issues.

Ingested Drug:

The ingested drug product used in the BreathID® Hp Lab System IDkit Hp™ Two kit, (13C-Urea tablet, 75mg and Citrica powder, 4g), was originally approved in NDA 21-314. The identical drug product with identical preparation and administration is used in the cleared predicate device BreathID® Hp Lab System kit.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

The BreathID® Hp Lab System shares with its predicate device the same technology. the same test substrate, and the same diagnostic capabilities. Both the subject and predicate systems, use the MCS technology (Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy) and measure the ratio of 13CO2/12CO2 in exhaled breath prior to and after administration of the test substrate (13C-Urea). The MCS technology measures the light absorbance by an infrared spectrometry, which is correlative to CO2 concentration in the breath sample. The output result in both systems is the Delta Over Baseline (DOB) and a positive/negative determination is based on the same assay cut-off (≥5 DOB).

Like its predicate device, the BreathID® Hp Lab System includes an analyzer device with embedded SW and a test kit. In addition, the subject system and predicate system also includes the Auto Sampler with its embedded SW and the BreathID® Lab Application with its Work Station. These components directly relate to the use of breath bags in the subject system, are designed for the convenience of the operator and are used in the FDA cleared predicate device (K162150). As with the predicate device, the subject system uses breath bags, where the breath is exhaled through the mouth into the bag.

Summary of Performance Testing:

Exalenz has performed extensive and well-executed verification and validation to verify the performance of the BreathID® Hp Lab System.

  • Software Verification and Validation
    Software testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the subject system and to verify that it performs according to its specifications. Verifications involved functionality testing, timing analysis, integration with the hardware, and error detection and handling. Verification was achieved by design reviews, code walkthroughs, functional testing of sub-components and integration testing with the hardware. Additionally, the software was extensively verified at the system level.

Clinical Validation ●

A multi-center, non-randomized, open label study was conducted with the primary goal of confirming the safety of the 13C-urea substrate in pediatric subjects, and a secondary goal of assessing performance of the BreathID® Hp Lab System using breath sample bags in this population, compared to stool antigen testing. Supported by existing clinical performance in the adult population, device performance was assessed in a limited clinical study in a pediatric population as described below. The study was not powered to assess efficacy. A central laboratory analyzed the stool specimens with an FDA cleared H. pylori stool antigen test. The study was conducted at 6 clinical sites that were geographically diverse, differing in size (from small private clinics to large hospitals), diverse in experience representing both point of care testing as well as sites utilizing a clinical laboratory. Local site personnel were trained on administering the breath test. To represent point of care and clinical laboratory settings, the bagged sample analysis was performed either on site or at a central laboratory using a BreathID® Hp Lab System.

The primary study endpoint was to confirm the safety of the 13C-urea substrate using the standard dose of 75mg 13C-urea and 4g citric acid in the pediatric population. The safety endpoint included all adverse events (AEs).

The secondary endpoint was performance, assessed as the positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement between the BreathID® Hp | Lab System, applying the predefined threshold of 5 DOB, and the stool antigen test results.

Main Results

A total number of 54 subjects were screened. of which 1 subject was a screening failure prior to any study related procedure. Fifty-three subjects were enrolled (full analysis - FA set) and were followed for the safety assessment. Forty-two of them completed the full study protocol requirements for the FA set with evaluable breath and stool test endpoints.

Among the 53 pediatric subjects followed for the safety assessment, one adverse event of vomiting was experienced by one subject (1.89%) and resolved on the same day. There were no reportable major safety concerns due to adverse events.

The positive percent agreement between the breath test and the stool antigen test results was 93.3% [95% C1:68.05:99.83] and the negative percent agreement was 100% [95% CI: 87.23%;100%].

These study results met the predefined success criteria for confirming the safety of the 13C-urea substrate in the pediatric population, and for providing further evidence of BreathID Hp Lab System performance in this population taking into consideration prior supportive clinical performance in the adult population.

Conclusion:

The information submitted in this premarket notification is complete and demonstrates that the BreathID® Hp Lab System is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
