1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a separate section with pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it presents performance characteristics that collectively demonstrate acceptable performance for substantial equivalence. The precision studies, in particular, provide detailed performance around the cut-off concentrations, which are key to evaluating the device.

Based on the precision data, the performance of the device is evaluated against its ability to correctly identify positive and negative samples at various concentrations relative to the cutoff. The data suggests that at -25% to +25% of the cutoff concentration, there is variability, but at concentrations definitively below (-50% or less) or above (+50% or more) the cutoff, the device shows 100% agreement with the expected outcome.

Here's a summary derived from the precision study results:

Dip Card & Strip 40ng/mL: Similar high agreement at clear negative/positive ranges.

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

Precision Study (Analytical Performance):

  • Sample Size: For each concentration level (e.g., -100% cutoff, +25% cutoff, etc.), tests were performed six runs per day for 10 days per device lot, and there were three device lots.
    • This equates to 6 runs/day * 10 days * 3 lots = 180 tests for each concentration level (e.g., 180 tests at -100% cut-off, 180 tests at +25% cut-off, etc.). There are 9 concentration levels, so theoretically 1,620 tests for each device type (Dip Card 20, Strip 20, Dip Card 40, Strip 40).
  • Data Provenance: Samples were prepared by spiking 11-Nor-Δ9-THC-9-COOH in negative samples. These appear to be spiked laboratory samples, not clinical samples from a specific country or population. The study is prospective in execution once samples are prepared.

Method Comparison Study:

  • Sample Size: 80 "unaltered clinical samples" were used for each device format (Dip Card 20, Strip 20, Dip Card 40, Strip 40). These 80 samples consisted of 40 negative and 40 positive samples.
  • Data Provenance: The samples were described as "unaltered clinical samples." The country of origin is not specified but it's an "in-house" study, suggesting it was conducted by the manufacturer or a laboratory they contracted. The study is retrospective as it uses pre-collected clinical samples.

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

Precision Study:

  • Ground Truth Establishment: The ground truth for the spiked samples was established by LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), which is a highly accurate analytical method.
  • Number of Experts/Qualifications: The document does not specify "experts" in the traditional sense of human readers. The "ground truth" here is the LC/MS result, which is an objective chemical measurement. The person who prepared the samples (spiking them) and confirmed concentrations by LC/MS was different from the person who tested them to ensure blinding. No specific qualifications are given for these individuals, but it implies laboratory personnel competent in preparing and analyzing such samples.

Method Comparison Study:

  • Ground Truth Establishment: The ground truth for the clinical samples was established by LC/MS results.
  • Number of Experts/Qualifications: Similar to the precision study, the ground truth is an objective chemical measurement (LC/MS), not a human expert interpretation of the device's results.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The ground truth for both the precision and method comparison studies relies on LC/MS as the objective standard. The device's results are compared directly to the LC/MS results. There is no mention of human-based adjudication for ground truth establishment. For the method comparison study, three laboratory assistants performed the readings, and their individual results were compared to LC/MS, but this is a comparison to a known truth, not an adjudication process to establish the truth itself.


5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly performed as described for AI vs. human readers. The study involves multiple operators (three laboratory assistants) reading multiple cases (80 clinical samples each) in the "Comparison Studies" section. However, this is a comparison of the device's standalone performance (as read by laboratory assistants) against a gold standard (LC/MS), not a study to evaluate human readers' improvement with AI assistance versus without AI assistance.


6. Standalone Performance Study

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire set of performance characteristics outlined (Precision, Specificity, Interference, Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and pH, and Comparison Studies) represents the standalone performance of the BIOEASY Marijuana Test devices.

The "Comparison Studies" explicitly show the device's results (as interpreted by laboratory assistants) compared against the LC/MS ground truth, demonstrating its accuracy without human-in-the-loop intervention for decision making beyond reading the visual result.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The type of ground truth used is objective chemical analysis (LC/MS).

  • For the precision studies, 11-Nor-Δ9-THC-9-COOH was spiked into negative samples at known concentrations, and these concentrations were confirmed by LC/MS.
  • For the method comparison studies, the "unaltered clinical samples" were independently analyzed by LC/MS to establish their true drug concentration.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document describes the device as an "immunochromatographic assay," which is a biochemical test, not an AI or machine learning device. Therefore, there is no training set in the context of machine learning. The device's performance is based on its chemical reactions and design.


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

As the device is not an AI/machine learning product, there is no "training set" and thus no ground truth establishment for a training set in this context.

9. Test Principle

The BIOEASY Marijuana Test Dip Card and the BIOEASY Marijuana Test Strip tests are rapid tests for the qualitative detection of Marijuana in urine samples. The tests are lateral flow

{5}------------------------------------------------

chromatographic immunoassays. During testing, a urine specimen migrates upward by capillary action. If the target drug present in the urine specimen is below the cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific monoclonal mouse antibody coated on the particles. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drug-conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The will not form in the test line region if the target drug level exceeds its cutoff-concentration because it will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody coated on the particles. A band should form in the control region of the devices regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample to indicate that the tests have been performed properly.

10. Performance Characteristics

    1. Analytical Performance

a. Precision

Precision studies were carried out for samples with concentrations of -100% cut off, -75% cut off, -50% cut off, -25% cut off, +25% cut off, +50% cut off , +75% cut off and +100% cut off. These samples were prepared by spiking 11-Nor-△9-THC-9-COOH in negative samples. Each 11-Nor-△9-THC-9-COOH concentration was confirmed by LC/MS. All sample aliquots were blindly labeled by the person who prepared the samples and didn't take part in the sample testing. For each concentration, tests were performed six runs per day for 10 days per device lot in a randomized order. The results obtained are summarized in the following tables.

c. Stability

The devices are stable at 4-30 ℃ for 24 months based on the accelerated stability study at 45 ℃ and real time stability determinations at both 4 ℃ and 30 ℃.

d. Interference

Potential interfering substances found in human urine of physiological or pathological conditions were added to drug-free urine and target drugs urine with concentrations at 50% below and 50% above Cut-Off levels. These urine samples were tested using three batches of each device. Compounds that showed no interference at a concentration of 100ug/mL (albumin was tested at 100 mg/dL and ethanol was tested at 1%) are summarized in the following tables. There were no differences observed for both the strip and dip card formats at the two different cut-offs.

f. Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and Urine pH

To investigate the effect of urine specific gravity and urine pH, urine samples, with 1.000 to 1.035 specific gravity or urine samples with pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target drugs at 50% below and 50% above Cut-Off levels. These samples were tested using three lots of each device format. Results were all positive for samples at and above +50% Cut-Off and all negative for samples at and below -50% Cut-Off. There were no differences observed for different device formats of the two different cutoffs.

2. Comparison Studies

Method comparison studies for the BIOEASY Marijuana test devices were performed in-house with three laboratory assistants for each device format. Operators ran 80 (40 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples. The samples were blind labeled and compared to LC/MS results. The results are presented in the tables below.

11. Conclusion

Based on the test principle and acceptable performance characteristics including precision, cut-off, interference, specificity, and method comparison studies of the devices, it's concluded that the BIOEASY Marijuana Test Dip Card and BIOEASY Marijuana Test Strip tests are substantially equivalent to the predicate.

§ 862.3870 Cannabinoid test system.

(a)
Identification. A cannabinoid test system is a device intended to measure any of the cannabinoids, hallucinogenic compounds endogenous to marihuana, in serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. Cannabinoid compounds includedelta -9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabinol, and cannabichromene. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cannabinoid use or abuse and in monitoring levels of cannabinoids during clinical investigational use.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A cannabinoid 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).
