Intended Use

The Cancer Genetics Tissue of Origin Test is an in vitro diagnostic intended to measure the degree of similarity between the RNA expression patterns in a patient's formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor and the RNA expression patterns in a database of fifteen tumor types (poorly differentiated, undifferentiated and metastatic cases) that were diagnosed acording to then current clinical and pathological practice. This test should be evaluated by a qualified physician in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic test results.

Limitations: The Cancer Genetics Tissue of Origin Test is not intended to establish the origin of tumors (e.g., cancer of unknown primary) that cannot be diagnosed according to current clinical and pathological practice. It is not intended to subclassify or modify the classification of tumors that can be diagnosed by current clinical and pathological practice, nor to predict disease course or survival or treatment efficacy, nor to distinguish primary from metastatic tumor. Tumor types not in the Cancer Genetics Tissue of Origin Test database may have RNA expression patterns that are similar to patterns in the database. Therefore, results cannot be used to distinguish tumor types in the database from tumor types not in the database.

Device Description

The modified and the predicate devices (K092967 and K120489) are all in vitro diagnostic product consisting of a reagent kit and instructions, plus a microchip and software, for the comparison of the RNA expression pattern of a patient's tumor sample to a database of expression patterns of 15 known tumor tissues. Equipment required but not provided are an Affymetrix GeneChip Fluidics Station FS450Dx v2 and an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner GCS3000Dx, attached to an Affymetrix Workstation with GeneChip Operating System (GCOS). Additional equipment required but not provided is commonly available laboratory equipment.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text.

It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary, which often focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing device rather than presenting a full, de novo validation study. Therefore, some of the requested information, particularly regarding initial clinical validation or ground truth establishment for the original device, might not be explicitly detailed. The acceptance criteria described here pertain to demonstrating performance after modifications to an already cleared device.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Modified Tissue of Origin Test Kit-FFPE

The acceptance criteria here refer to the demonstration that two specific modifications (reagent change and software update) to an already cleared device (Pathwork Tissue of Origin Test Kit FFPE, K120489) did not negatively impact its performance. The primary metric used is concordance with the previous, validated method.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Feature/ModificationAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Study Design)Reported Device Performance
Reagent ComparisonHigh concordance (e.g., >80% or similar to original performance) with the original RampUp RNA Amplification Kit. All pre-established criteria were met or exceeded.90.8% concordance (95% CI: 83.6%, 95.3%) with original RampUp RNA Amplification Kit.
Software ComparisonHigh concordance (e.g., >95% or 100%) with the original Genechip™ System 3000 Dx software.100% concordance (95% CI: 95.9%, 100%) with original Dx software.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size:
    • Reagent Comparison: 142 specimens
    • Software Comparison: 20 specimens
  • Data Provenance: The specimens were "randomly selected from FFPE tumor specimens employed for assessment of performance during development of the original TOO-FFPE kit." This indicates the data is retrospective, using archived samples. The country of origin is not specified, but the context of an FDA submission implies commercial use in the US, suggesting data likely from US/North American sources, though not explicitly stated.

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

  • This information is not provided in the document. The studies assess concordance between the modified and original methods, implying the "truth" is established by the original method's result for the sample. The original device's clearance (K092967, K120489) would have involved establishing its ground truth based on clinical and pathological practice, but the details are not replicated here for this 510(k) summary focused on modifications.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • This information is not applicable in the context of these specific studies. The studies are comparing the output of a modified process against the output of the original, previously cleared process for the same samples. Discrepancies are noted as "discordance" rather than requiring expert adjudication of a "ground truth" difference, as the reference is the prior method's output.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test measuring molecular expression patterns, not an imaging AI designed to assist human readers. The outputs are numerical similarities to pre-defined tumor types, not interpretations for human review.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Yes, the performance described is standalone (algorithm only). The device, the "Tissue of Origin Test Kit-FFPE," measures RNA expression patterns and provides a similarity score. The studies assess the consistency of these scores between modified and original methods, which is a direct output of the algorithm and associated lab processes without human interpretation as part of the core performance evaluation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the purpose of these modification studies, the "ground truth" for each sample's classification is implicitly the result obtained from the original, previously cleared and validated method. The studies aim to show that the new modifications yield the same result as the established method. The ultimate ground truth for the original validation of the TOO-FFPE test, as stated in its Indications for Use, was based on "diagnosed according to then current clinical and pathological practice" for the 15 tumor types in its database. This would typically involve expert consensus diagnostics (e.g., pathology reports, clinical history).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The sample size for the training set is not specified in this document. This 510(k) summary pertains to modifications of an already developed and trained device. The original development and validation of the "Tissue of Origin Test Kit-FFPE" (K092967 / K120489) would have involved a training set, but its details are not part of this summary for a modified device. The document mentions the "database of fifteen tumor types" against which patient samples are compared, which serves as the trained model/reference.

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

  • How the ground truth for the original training set was established is not detailed in this document.
    • However, the Indications for Use states that the database samples were "diagnosed according to then current clinical and pathological practice." This typically means that the ground truth for the 15 tumor types in the database was established by expert consensus diagnoses based on a combination of clinical history, pathological findings (histology, immunohistochemistry), and potentially other diagnostic tests. This implies a rigorous, multi-modal diagnostic approach by qualified medical professionals (e.g., pathologists, oncologists).

807.92 (b)(1): Brief Description of Non-clinical data

Two modifications were assessed (i) a change in the method and reagents for amplification and (ii) an update to the microarray processing software.

A set of randomly selected tumor specimens analyzed previously using the 510(k) cleared method, were also analyzed using the modified method, and the results were compared.

{7}------------------------------------------------

The modified method used GeneChip™ 3' IVT Pico Kit to perform target preparation while in the original 510(k) cleared method used the RampUp RNA amplification Kit. For this study, 142 specimens were selected from FFPE tumor specimens employed for assessment of performance during development of the original TOO-FFPE kit. The sample set included each of the tumor types in the database. Comparisons could be made for all 142 tumors. 133 of these were concordant and 9 were not, for a % concordance of 90.8% (95% confidence interval of 83.6%, 95.3%). The change was considered validated, because all pre-established criteria were met or exceeded.

The second modification to be assessed was the microarray processing software, which was upgraded from the Genechip™ System 3000 Dx (no longer supported by the manufacturer Affymetrix) to Genechip™ System 3000 Dx v.2 ( FDAcleared and CE marked for in vitro diagnostics use). For this study, 20 specimens were selected from reserves of FFPE tumor specimens employed for assessment of performance during development of the original TOO-FFPE kit and had also been analyzed using the GeneChip™ 3' IVT Pico Kit. For all 20 samples, the results were concordant between Dx and Dx v.2.

§ 862.3100 Amphetamine test system.

(a)
Identification. An amphetamine test system is a device intended to measure amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in plasma and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of amphetamine to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An amphetamine test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (e.g., programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).
