The cobas pro integrated solutions is an IVD device used for the quantitation of clinical chemistry and Ion Selective Electrolyte parameters from various biological fluids.
Glucose HK Gen.3 is an in vitro test for the quantitative determination of glucose in human serum, plasma, urine and CSF on Roche/Hitachi cobas c systems. Glucose measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders including diabetes mellitus, neonatal hypoglycemia and pancreatic islet cell tumors.
The ISE indirect Na for Gen. 2 is intended for the quantitative determination of sodium in serum, plasma or urine using ion-selective electrodes. Sodium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of aldosteronism (excessive secretion of the hormone aldosterone), diabetes insipidus (chronic excretion of dilute urine, accompanied by extreme thirst), adrenal hypertension, Addison's disease (caused by destruction of the adrenal glands), dehydration, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or other diseases involving electrolyte imbalance.
Elecsys TSH immunoassay is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of thyrotropin in human serum and plasma. Measurements of TSH are used in the diagnosis of thyroid and pituitary disorders. The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay "ECLIA" is intended for use on cobas e immunoassay analyzers.
The cobas pro integrated solutions (cobas pro) is a fully automated, random-access, software controlled system intended for in vitro quantitative analysis of analytes in body fluids. It will typically be used in clinical laboratories with large workload. The system consolidates clinical chemistry, homogenous and heterogeneous immunoassays as well as electrolyte testing within one workplace. It consists of a high throughput sample distribution unit (core unit) and different analytical units for ISE (cobas pro ISE analytical unit), clinical chemistry (c 503 analytical unit) and immunoassay (e 801 analytical) testing. The system hardware is comprised of new or previously cleared members of the Roche/Hitachi cobas c or Elecsys families of analyzers. The instrument software is unique to the cobas pro and was developed from previous generations of Roche/Hitachi instrument systems.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the cobas pro integrated solutions device, specifically focusing on the Glucose HK Gen.3, ISE indirect Na for Gen.2, and Elecsys TSH assays.
Preamble: This document describes a Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification for the cobas pro integrated solutions. The core purpose is to show that previously cleared Glucose, Sodium, and TSH assays, when run on the new cobas pro integrated solutions system, are substantially equivalent to their predicate devices. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and studies presented are largely comparative or validation studies demonstrating consistent performance with previously cleared devices and established analytical standards.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given that this is a 510(k) submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing predicate devices for assays and a new integrated system, the acceptance criteria are generally focused on meeting established performance claims or showing equivalence within acceptable statistical limits. The summary provided focuses on the reported device performance which is then implicitly compared to internal acceptance criteria (often relative to the predicate device or CLSI guidelines).
Note on Acceptance Criteria: The document explicitly states "All samples met the predetermined acceptance criterion" for precision studies. For LoQ, it states "LoQ determined at maximum allowable %TE (total error) of no more than 20% (Glucose and TSH) and 30% (Sodium)." For endogenous interference, it was "recovery of 100±10%". For exogenous interference (common drugs for Elecsys TSH), it was "± 10% of the reference value". For method comparisons, the slope, intercept, and correlation coefficients approaching 1 or 0 respectively, indicate strong agreement, satisfying the intent of substantial equivalence. Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not always stated outright but are implied by the study design and conclusion of meeting criteria.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
This submission concerns in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices for quantitative measurements of analytes. For such devices, "ground truth" is typically established by:
-
Reference methods (e.g., flame photometry for Sodium reference),
-
Previously cleared and validated predicate devices,
-
Known concentrations in control materials or spiked samples, or
-
The inherent chemical/physical measurement by the device itself (for analytical performance criteria like precision, linearity).
-
No human "experts" (like radiologists interpreting images) were used to establish ground truth in the context of these analytical performance studies. The "ground truth" is analytical, derived from established chemical/instrumental methods and reference standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Since this is an IVD device for quantitative measurements and the studies are analytical performance evaluations based on instrumental precision, accuracy, and comparison to established methods or predicate devices, there is no adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) involving human experts as would be seen in diagnostic imaging studies. The data points are quantitative measurements from the instruments themselves or reference methods. Statistical analysis (e.g., regression, CVs, SDs) is used to assess performance against pre-defined criteria.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This type of study, involving multiple human readers interpreting cases with and without AI assistance, is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI algorithms where human interpretation is part of the clinical pathway. This submission is for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) measurement system, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging tool that assists human readers. The comparative studies involved comparing the new system's analytical performance against predicate IVD systems or reference methods, not human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)
The entire non-clinical performance evaluation could be considered analogous to a "standalone" performance study, as it describes the analytical performance of the device itself (the integrated system with its assays) without human intervention in the measurement process. The device provides quantitative results, and these results are directly evaluated for precision, linearity, sensitivity, interference, and agreement with predicate devices or reference methods. There is no "human-in-the-loop" aspect to the core measurement and output of these IVD assays.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for these analytical studies consists of:
- Known concentrations: For studies like linearity, analytical sensitivity (LoB, LoD, LoQ), and interference, samples prepared with known concentrations of analytes or interferents serve as the ground truth.
- Reference methods: For method comparison studies, well-established and often independently validated reference methods (e.g., flame photometry for sodium measurement) serve as the ground truth or gold standard for comparison.
- Predicate device results: For demonstrating substantial equivalence, the results obtained from a legally marketed predicate device (which itself has established ground truth capabilities) serve as the comparative ground truth.
- Internal statistical controls: For precision studies, consistent and stable control materials are used, where the expected range or value is the "ground truth" against which repeatability and intermediate precision are measured.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This document describes the non-clinical performance evaluation for a 510(k) submission, primarily for demonstrating analytical performance and substantial equivalence. It does not describe the development or training of an AI algorithm based on machine learning, so there is no specific "training set" in the context of AI/ML models. The data presented here are validation data for the analytical performance of the assay and integrated system.
For a traditional IVD device, method development involves internal studies and optimization, but this is distinct from "training data" for a machine learning model. The various studies (precision, linearity, etc.) use samples/replicates as described in point 2.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted in point 8, there isn't a "training set" in the machine learning sense described in this document. If this were to refer to the developmental studies for the underlying assays (Glucose HK Gen.3, ISE indirect Na, Elecsys TSH, which are previously cleared), their ground truth would have been established during their initial development and validation process using:
- Reference materials: Certified reference materials (CRMs) with known analyte concentrations.
- Clinical samples: Patients samples characterized by confirmed diagnoses or clinical outcomes for intended use populations.
- Comparison to established methods: Correlation with existing, approved methods, often considered the "gold standard."
- Spiking and dilution experiments: Preparing samples with known added amounts of analyte.
These are standard practices in IVD assay development, ensuring the analytical and clinical performance of the individual assays before they are integrated into a new system like the cobas pro integrated solutions.

Device Description
1.1. System
The cobas pro integrated solutions (cobas pro) is a fully automated, random-access, software controlled system intended for in vitro quantitative analysis of analytes in body fluids. It will typically be used in clinical laboratories with large workload. The system consolidates clinical chemistry, homogenous and heterogeneous immunoassays as well as electrolyte testing within one workplace. It consists of a high throughput sample distribution unit (core unit) and different analytical units for ISE (cobas pro ISE analytical unit), clinical chemistry (c 503 analytical unit) and immunoassay (e 801 analytical) testing. The system hardware is comprised of new or previously cleared members of the Roche/Hitachi cobas c or Elecsys families of analyzers. The instrument software is unique to the cobas pro and was developed from previous generations of Roche/Hitachi instrument systems.
Instrument Description Information
- a. Instrument Name: cobas pro integrated solutions
- b. Specimen Identification:
The specimen is in a tube with a barcode label. The system identifies specimen by scanning the barcode.
- c. Specimen Sampling and Handling: The specimen is in a tube with the barcode label facing the side with the open slot of the rack. The rack is assigned with ID number and barcode.
- d. Calibration:
The software of the cobas pro integrated solution automatically recommends calibration for all tests requiring calibration. Calibration may also be ordered manually at any time. The software recommends calibrations according to the application parameters for the
{6}------------------------------------------------
assay. The system checks the validity of each calibration automatically. If the calibration was successful, the calibrated tests are valid and the system continues operation. Calibration is specific to each analytical unit, measuring channel, and reagent.
The calibrators are loaded onto a 5-position calibrator rack and loaded onto the system. The system automatically recognizes the specially designated (black) calibration rack. The calibrator solutions are specific to the assay and identified in the method sheet of each assay. Multi-calibrator solutions are available to calibrate multiple applications. The available calibration modes are linear and non-linear full calibration, 1- and 2-point recalibration, and automatic full calibration. The calibration type differs depending on the reagent assay and is coded into the application parameter file for each reagent application and is described in the method sheet for each reagent assay application. The recommended calibration frequency is described in the method sheet for each reagent assay application.
Quality Controls: e.
The system can be set up to recommend QC measurements based on test-specific timeout intervals. The method sheet for each assay used on the system contains QC recommendations for the specific application. The control intervals and limits should be adapted to each laboratory's individual requirements. Values obtained should fall within the defined limits. Each laboratory should establish corrective measures to be taken if values fall outside the defined limits. Follow the applicable government regulations and local guidelines for quality control.
1.2. Reagent
Glucose HK Gen.3
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HK) in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and magnesium ions to produce glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) specifically oxidizes G-6-P to 6-phosphogluconate with the concurrent reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
{7}------------------------------------------------
(NAD) to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NADH). One micromole of NADH is produced for each micromole of glucose consumed. The NADH produced absorbs light at 340 nm and can be detected spectrophotometrically as an increased absorbance.

ISE indirect Na for Gen.2
The ISE module for Nat employs ion-selective membrane to develop an electrical potential (electromotive force, EMF) for the measurements of ions in solution. Selective membrane is in contact with both the test solution and an internal filling solution. Due to the selectivity of the membrane, only the ions to be measured contribute to the EMF. The membrane EMF is determined by the difference in concentration of the test ion in the test solution and the internal filling solution.
The ISE analytical unit of the Roche/Hitachi cobas c systems is intended for the quantitative determination of sodium in serum, plasma or urine using ion- selective electrodes. Sodium is the major extracellular cation and functions to maintain fluid distribution and osmotic pressure. Some causes of decreased levels of sodium include prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, diminished reabsorption in the kidney and excessive fluid retention. Common causes of increased sodium include excessive fluid loss, high salt intake and increased kidney reabsorption.

Assay Principle of Operation
Glucose
The Glucose Hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate by ATP.
HK Glucose + ATP G-6-P + ADP →→
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase oxidizes glucose-6-phosphate in the presence of NADP to gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. No other carbohydrate is oxidized. The rate of NADPH formation during the reaction is directly proportional to the glucose concentration and is measure photometrically.
G-6-PDH G-6-P + NADP+ gluconate-6-P + NADPH + H+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sodium
An Ion- Selective Electrode (ISE) makes use of the unique properties of ion - selective membrane to develop an electrical potential (electromotive force, EMF) for the measurements of ions in solution. Selective membrane is in contact with both the test solution and an internal filling solution. Due to the selectivity of the membrane, only the ions to be measured contribute to the EMF. The membrane EMF is determined by the difference in concentration of the test ion in the test solution and the internal filling solution. The EMF develops and ion concentration is determined according to the Nernst equation.
TSH
The TSH assay is based on the sandwich principle of competition. The total duration of the assay is 18 minutes.
- . 1st incubation: 50 µL of sample, a biotinylated monoclonal TSH- specific antibody and a monoclonal TSH- specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex react to form a sandwich complex.
{12}------------------------------------------------
- 2nd incubation: After addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles, the complex becomes . bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin.
- . The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell/ProCell M. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier.
- . Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument specifically generated by 2- point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent barcode or e- barcode.

4.2. Analytical Sensitivity
Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)
The Limit of Blank, Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantitation were determined in accordance with the CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) EP17 A2 requirements.
The Limit of Blank is the 95th percentile value from n ≥ 60 measurements of analyte- free samples over several independent series. The Limit of Blank corresponds to the concentration below which analyte- free samples are found with a probability of 95 %. The Limit of Blank was determined on the respective analytical unit, six runs on ≥ three days, with five blank samples with two replicates each per run. In total, 60 determinations for analyte free samples have been obtained.
The Limit of Detection was determined based on the Limit of Blank and the standard deviation of low concentration samples. The Limit of Detection corresponds to the lowest analyte concentration which can be detected (value above the Limit of Blank with a probability of 95%). The Limit of Detection was determined on the respective analytical unit, five samples
{22}------------------------------------------------
with low-analyte concentration was measured in two-fold determination in 6 runs, distributed over 3 days. In total 60 measurements were obtained per sample type.
LoQ determines the lowest amount of analyte that can be quantitatively determined with stated accuracy and stated experimental conditions. The LoO was determined as the lowest concentration of analyte which can be quantified with a total error of no more than 20% (Glucose and TSH) and 30% (Sodium).
Samples with low analyte concentration are measured over 3 to 5 days on the respective analyzer (n ≥ 60 per sample type). The mean value, SD, and %TE (total error) were calculated for each sample. The mean concentration is plotted versus the %TE, with LoQ determined at maximum allowable %TE.

Elecsys TSH
The effect on quantitation of analyte in the presence of anticoagulants with the Elecsys TSH immunoassay was determined by comparing values obtained from samples (native human serum samples, single donors as well as pools) drawn into serum and Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA plasma tubes. A minimum of 56 serum/plasma pairs per sample material were tested in singleton with one reagent lot on one cobas e 801 analyzer. Data were evaluated using a regression analysis according to Passing/Bablok. Serum separation tubes from 3 separate manufacturers and blood from five donors were used. Measurements were performed in duplicate with one reagent lot and
