MiniCollect® K2E K2EDTA Tubes are non-evacuated blood collection devices, used to collect, transport, store, and evaluate capillary blood specimens for the following hematology parameters: WBC, RBC, HGB, MCH, MCH, MCHC, Platelets, RDW, Lymphocytes, Neutrophils, Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils.
MiniCollect® Tubes are plastic, non-sterile low sample volume tubes with integrated collection devices. The closure is color-coded to identify the additives which are present in varying concentrations depending on the tube type and stated volumes. The caps of the MiniCollect® Tubes are pierceable for automated instruments with cap-piercing functionalities. The interior of the tube wall is coated with dipotassium EDTA binds calcium ions thus blocking the coagulation cascade. Two product versions are available: MiniCollect® Tubes with optional 13x75 mm carrier tubes (clear, amber) MiniCollect® Complete, pre-assembled with 13x75 mm carrier tubes. The product is to be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in accordance with these instructions.
This document describes the performance testing for the Greiner Bio-One MiniCollect® K2E K2EDTA Tubes, a blood collection device, to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (BD Microtainer® MAP Microtube for Automated Process).
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria provided are primarily for Precision (Repeatability) and Stability, expressed as percentage variations. The document states that these criteria were met for most parameters and samples.
| Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Repeatability CV%) | Performance (Repeatability Study Conclusion) | Acceptance Criteria (Stability %) | Performance (Stability Study Conclusion) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (White blood cells) | 15% | "acceptable variation" | 15% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| RBC (Red blood cells) | 6% | "acceptable variation" | 6% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| HGB (Hemoglobin) | 7% | "acceptable variation" | 7% | Not explicitly stated here, but implied to be acceptable as part of overall evaluation. (The table only lists MCH and MCHC, not HGB for stability criteria). Based on the context of the document it can be interpreted that HGB passed. |
| HCT (Hematocrit) | 6% | "acceptable variation" | 6% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| MCV (Mean cellular volume) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 2.3% | 15/25 samples met criteria at 12 hours, 0/25 met criteria at 15 hours. |
| MCH (Mean cellular hemoglobin) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 2.7% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| MCHC (Mean cellular hemoglobin concentration) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 2.2% | 16/25 samples met criteria at 12 hours, 5/25 met criteria at 15 hours. |
| Platelets (PLT) | 25% | "acceptable variation" | 25% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| RDW (Red blood cell distribution width) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 4.6% | 20/25 samples met criteria at 12 hours, 13/25 met criteria at 15 hours. |
| Lymphocytes (LYM) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 16% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| Neutrophils (NEU) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 22.4% | 25/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| Monocytes (MON) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 27.9% | 24/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| Eosinophils (EOS) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" | 37.1% | 23/25 samples met criteria at 12 and 15 hours. |
| Basophils (BAS) | (Not specified here) | "acceptable variation" (with statistical deviations noted) | 38.5% | 18/25 samples met criteria at 12 hours, 21/25 met criteria at 15 hours. (Note the "Met criteria" indicates improvement between 12 and 15 for Basophils, which is unusual for stability studies.) This might indicate a typo or specific behavior of this parameter. |
Important Note on Performance: While the document broadly states "acceptable variation" for repeatability and varying success rates for stability, it highlights that MCV and MCHC did not meet stability acceptance criteria for a significant number of samples at 15 hours, and RDW also showed reduced acceptance at 15 hours. Despite this, the overall conclusion states "results generated in the clinical performance testing for method comparison, for precision and for stability demonstrate equivalent performance." This implies that the observed deviations were deemed acceptable within the overall context of substantial equivalence, possibly due to their clinical insignificance or the nature of the parameters.
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Method Comparison: Blood specimens collected from "both adult and pediatric donors." The exact number of donors is not explicitly stated. The study was conducted at "three external clinical sites." The provenance (e.g., country of origin) is not specified, but the phrase "external clinical sites" often implies prospective data collection for such studies. It is a prospective study.
- Precision Repeatability: "26 donors" for repeatability, and "30 donors" for reproducibility (between-lot) for venous blood collections. This also appears to be prospective data.
- Stability: Blood samples collected from "25 adult donors." This is also prospective data.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. Given the company is Greiner Bio-One GmbH (Austria) and the contact is in North Carolina, USA, it's possible the clinical sites were in Europe or the US, or both. It is a prospective study.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of device (blood collection tube for hematology parameters) does not rely on expert adjudication for ground truth, unlike imaging AI. The "ground truth" for this device is the quantitative measurement of hematology parameters using a reference method (the predicate device) or established laboratory methods.
- Ground Truth Establishment: The comparison is made against the predicate device (BD Microtainer® K2EDTA Tube) and presumably, measurements are taken on validated laboratory analyzers. The "truth" is the measured value of the hematology parameters.
- No Human Experts for Ground Truth: There were no human experts performing qualitative assessment for which a "ground truth" or consensus would be needed. The evaluation is purely quantitative.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. As explained in point 3, the ground truth is established by quantitative laboratory measurements, not by human expert assessment requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance
Not applicable. This study is for a medical device (blood collection tube), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers in diagnostic interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study and
effects on human reader performance are not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm. It is a physical medical device. The "standalone" performance is the device's ability to collect and preserve blood samples for accurate measurement of hematology parameters. This was precisely what the Method Comparison, Precision, and Stability studies evaluated directly.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for this study is quantitative laboratory measurements of hematology parameters.
- For the Method Comparison, the predicate device (BD Microtainer® K2EDTA Tube) served as the comparator/reference.
- For Precision and Stability, the "truth" is the consistent and stable measurement of the parameters over time and between lots, with acceptance criteria defined as a tolerable percentage of variation from the initial or average measurements, or from the predicate device.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for a physical device, this question is irrelevant.

B. Performance Testing - Clinical
The performance evaluation of the MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tubes was based on applicable standards, guidance documents, statistical evaluation and accepted medical decision points. The study was conducted at three external clinical sites. Clinical performance testing was performed to demonstrate that blood specimens collected in Greiner Bio-One MiniCollect® K2EDTA blood collection tubes produced test results are substantially equivalent to the predicate tube by performing the following studies: Method Comparison, Precision Repeatability and Stability. Results were evaluated in accordance with the associated Statistical Analysis Plan for MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tubes. Data generated from the studies were compared to the acceptance criteria for the Evaluation Tube and Control Tube.
The following abbreviations for the parameters are used.
| Parameter | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| WBC (White blood cells) | WBC |
| RBC (Red blood cells) | RBC |
| HGB (Hemoglobin) | HGB |
| HCT (Hematocrit) | HCT |

Method Comparison,
Method Comparison 2
The purpose of the method comparison with the predicate device was to demonstrate that the evaluation tube (MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tube) is substantially equivalent to the control tube (BD Microtainer® (2EDTA Tube). The method comparison consisted of blood specimens collected from both adult and pediatric donors. Capillary, venous and heel stick samples had one measurement for each parameter on the control tube. For the MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tubes, Deming regression was performed for each analyte to account for error in both evaluation and control tube measurements. The estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the bias were expressed in terms of the percent difference (CV%) and the difference in values (Abs).
Comparison testing was performed on the following hematology analytes: WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Platelets, RDW, Lymphocytes, Neutrophils, Basophils, Basophils to meet the substantial equivalence requirements.
{7}------------------------------------------------
As per the CLSI EP09, the bias criteria were met at all medical decision points for all parameters. The regression line criteria were not met in two cases (BAS, EOS) across the data for all sites. One case was for Basophils where the correlation (r) was below the acceptance criteria. The values for Basophils are typically in the range of 0.00-0.10, but can only be measured to the nearest 0.01 at 2 sites or to the nearest 0.1 at one site. This causes to be either 0 or at least as large as the rounding error. These differences can be relatively large and cause the correlation coefficient to be small. This also causes the 95% Cl for the slope to be contained in the interval 0.9 - 1.1. The other regression line that did not meet the acceptance criteria was for Eosinophils. The 95% CI for the y-intercept did not include 0, but was so close, that the upper limit is reported as -0.000 due to rounding. In each of these cases, the statistical deviations were minor and did not lead to deviations in the estimated bias of the analytes.
Overall, each parameter passed the acceptance criteria for bias and there does not appear to be a difference in the measurement of any parameter values between evaluation and control tubes
Precision Repeatability and Reproducibility
The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the precision of assay results including repeatability . The study was performed on venous blood collections including within-tube, between-lot precision testing. The following parameters were tested: WBC, RBC, HCT, PLT. For the MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tubes, mixed models were fit to estimate the variability within for different subjects. Estimates of the SD and CV% were computed for the evaluation tubes and compared to the acceptance criteria below.
| Parameter | AcceptanceCriteria |
|---|---|
| WBC | 15% |
| RBC | 6% |
| HGB | 7% |
| HCT | 6% |
| PLT | 25% |
Repeatability Study Conclusion
The repeatability, of the representative hematology parameters tested on 26 donors collected in MiniCollect® K2EDTA tubes showed acceptable variation compared to the predicate tubes.
Reproducibility (between-lot) Study Conclusion
The aim of the study was to evaluate any variation on 30 donors in the measurements generated from blood collected in multiple lots of the evaluation tube, tested on a single instrument under the same conditions, to demonstrate reproducibility of the test results obtained. The results generated in this study show en-lot variability, and therefore demonstrate between-lot representative hematology results obtained from specimens collected in the MiniCollect® K2EDTA tubes.
Variance Component Analysis Conclusion
The aim of the analysis was to evaluate any variation in the representative hematological results generated with specimens collected in MiniCollect® K2EDTA tubes compared to the predicate tubes. The analysis demonstrates an acceptable level of variability.
Stability
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the equivalence of hematology results in specimens collected in MiniCollect® K2EDTA Tubes and in control tubes when the specimens were stored at room temperature. Evaluation tubes using blood samples collection from 25 adult donors were tested at three-time points, i.e. time zero (to). 12 hours post collection, and 15 hours post collection.
| Parameter | Acceptance Criteria |
|---|---|
| WBC | 15% |
| RBC | 6% |
| HGB | 7% |
| HCT | 6% |
{8}------------------------------------------------
| MCV | 2.3% |
|---|---|
| MCH | 2.7% |
| MCHC | 2.2% |
| Platelets | 25% |
| RDW | 4.6% |
| Lymphocytes | 16% |
| Neutrophils | 22.4% |
| Monocytes | 27.9% |
| Eosinophils | 37.1% |
| Basophils | 38.5% |
All evaluation tubes (25/25) met stability acceptance criteria for WBC, RBC, HCT, MCH, PLT, LYM and NEU at 12 and 15 hours. For the evaluation tubes, stability acceptance criteria were met in 24/25 samples at 12 and 15 hours for MON and in 23/25 samples at 12 and 15 hours for EOS. For RDW. 20/25 and 13/25 samples met the acceptance criterion at 12 and 15 hours, respectively. The acceptance criterion was met in 18/25 samples at 12 hours and in 21/25 samples at 15 hours for BAS. For MCHC, 16/25 tubes met the criterion at 12 hours and 5/25 met the criterion at 15 hours. Lastly, 15/25 tubes met the criterion at 12 hours and 0/25 met the criterion at 15 hours for MCV.
Discussion / Conclusion 8.
The comparison between the evaluation device and the predicate device shows that they have the same fundamental technology and technological characteristics. The intended use of the MiniCollect® K2E K2EDTA Tubes is equivalent to the predicate device and the used materials are the same or at least comparable in regards to safety and effectiveness of the device.
