Tina-quant® C-Reactive Protein IV is an immunoturbidimetric assay for the in vitro quantitative determination of CRP in human serum and plasma on cobas c systems.

A C-reactive protein immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the C-reactive protein in serum and plasma. Measurement of C-reactive protein aids in evaluation of the amount of injury to body tissues.

Device Description

The Tina-quant® C-Reactive Protein IV reagent will be a liquid ready to use 2 component particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay.

Reagents - working solutions

R1: TRIS* buffer with bovine serum albumin; preservatives

R2 Latex particles coated with anti-CRP (mouse) in glycine buffer; immunoglobulins (mouse); preservative

  • TRIS= Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane

The Tina-quant® C-Reactive Protein IV assay will be based on the DUREL technology (dual radius enhanced latex - technology) which is also used in C-Reactive Protein Gen.3 predicate method. Human CRP agglutinates with latex particles coated with monoclonal anti-CRP antibodies. The aggregates are determined turbidimetrically.

Study Details:

The performance studies were designed in accordance with CLSI guidelines (EP5-A3, EP17-A2, EP6-A) and FDA guidance for CRP assays.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Precision (Repeatability & Intermediate Precision):
    • Controls: Precinorm Protein and Precipath Protein.
    • Human Serum Samples: 4 human serum samples were used to evaluate repeatability and intermediate precision, plus 6 human serum samples for the specific results documented in the table. Each sample/control was analyzed with multiple aliquots (e.g., 2 aliquots for 21 days for precision).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin), but it's noted as "human serum samples." The studies are prospective for the device evaluation.
  • Analytical Sensitivity (LoB, LoD, LoQ):
    • LoB: Ten aliquots of analyte-free saline (N=60 determinations per lot).
    • LoD: Five samples of low analyte level human serum (N=60 determinations per lot).
    • LoQ: Nine low concentration human serum samples (N=25 determinations per sample per lot).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for specific origin, but uses "analyte free saline" and "human serum."
  • Linearity/Assay Reportable Range:
    • Samples: Dilution series prepared from native unmodified human serum sample pools, resulting in 15 levels. Each level measured in triplicate (n ≥ 3).
    • Data Provenance: "native unmodified human serum sample pools."
  • Endogenous Interference:
    • Samples: Effects determined at 2 CRP levels (5-10 mg/L and 35-100 mg/L) utilizing 11-level serial dilution sets of interfering substances. Each level measured in triplicate.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, likely lab-prepared samples with added interferents.
  • Exogenous Interference (Drugs):
    • Samples: Effects determined at 2 CRP levels (5-10 mg/L and 35-100 mg/L) using pooled samples spiked with drugs. N=5 results per drug.
    • Data Provenance: Lab-prepared samples with added drugs.
  • Sample Matrix Comparison:
    • Samples: Native samples from single donors drawn into serum, Li-Heparin, K2-EDTA, and K3-EDTA plasma primary tubes.
    • Range Tested: 3.34 to 344 mg/L.
    • Data Provenance: "native samples (single donors)."
  • Method Comparison to Predicate:
    • Samples: One hundred ten (N=110) native, unaltered serum samples.
    • Data Provenance: "native, unaltered serum samples."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for quantitative determination of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). The "ground truth" for such devices is established by reference methods, certified reference materials, and accepted analytical techniques, not by expert interpretation in the same way imaging studies might use radiologists. The measurements for the test set samples (e.g., CRP concentrations) are determined by the analytical methods themselves, often verified against established standards or predicate devices. There is no mention of human experts establishing ground truth for the test set in the context of interpretation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

For IVD assays, ground truth is typically analytical, not based on expert adjudication of observations. The "truth" is the measured concentration, often confirmed by multiple replicates or comparative methods, as opposed to a consensus reading process found in clinical imaging studies. Therefore, no adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) is applicable or described here.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic instrument for measuring a biomarker (CRP). It does not involve human readers interpreting images or results that would be "assisted" by AI. The device directly produces quantitative results.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the performance studies described are for the device (Tina-quant® C-Reactive Protein IV on a cobas c 501 analyzer) operating in a standalone capacity. It measures CRP in samples without human intervention in the interpretive output. The studies evaluate the analytical performance of the instrument and reagents themselves.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for this IVD device is based on:

  • Analytical Standards: For LoB, LoD, LoQ, and Linearity, ground truth is established through statistical derivation from measurements of samples with known low or varying concentrations, or through the use of analyte-free samples or reference materials.
  • Predicate Device Comparison: The "Method Comparison to Predicate" establishes the ground truth by comparing the device's results against a legally marketed and established predicate device (Roche Diagnostics C-Reactive Protein Gen.3), assuming the predicate provides the accepted reference values.
  • Spiked Samples/Known Concentrations: For interference studies (endogenous and exogenous), ground truth is established by adding known amounts of interfering substances or drugs to samples with known CRP concentrations and observing the recovery of the expected CRP value.
  • Certified Reference Materials (CRM): The "Traceability/Standardization" indicates that the candidate device is standardized against the certified reference material of IRMM (Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements) ERM-DA474/IFCC. This is a primary source of analytical ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

This document describes a premarket notification (510(k)) submission for a medical device. The "training set" concept is typically associated with machine learning or AI models. This device is an immunoturbidimetric assay, which is a traditional analytical chemistry method, not an AI/ML system. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The studies described are performance evaluations to demonstrate that the device meets its analytical specifications.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

As there is no "training set" for an AI/ML model for this traditional IVD assay, this question is not applicable. The device's performance is validated against analytical performance criteria as described above in point 7.

4.5. Exogenous Interferences - Drugs

The effect on quantitation of Tina-quant® C-Reactive Protein IV in the presence of potentially interfering drugs were determined at 2 levels, 5-10 mg/L and 35-100 mg/L c-reactive protein. One portion of each pool was spiked with the respective amount of drug and the other portion of the pool with solvent used to dissolve the drug, which was used for the baseline reference creactive protein concentration. The c-reactive protein mean concentration of both portions was determined in N=5 results. The mean % Recovery was calculated when comparing the drug spiked portions to the c-reactive protein baseline reference mean concentration.
