To be administered by trained personnel as ordered by a licensed healthcare practitioner.

Device Description

The Modified BreathID® Hp Lab System, with the trade name BreathID® Smart, is a noninvasive breath test system for detecting the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The system consists of an electro-optical medical device with embedded software designed to measure and compute the changes in ratio between 13CO2 and 12CO2 concentrations in the patient's exhalation, an integrated Auto Sampler, integrated software, and a test kit.

The IDkit Hp™ Two test kit consists of:

  • A 75mg 13C-urea tablet ●
  • A 4.3g package of powdered Citrica (citric acid) ●
  • Drinking straw
  • Package Insert (Instructions for Use) ●
  • 2 Breath Sample Bags (Baseline and Post Ingestion) with bar code labels ●
  • A large Sample Transport Bag

Using bags for breath collection enables off site and deferred testing as well as testing of multiple breath sample bags sequentially in a batch. The BreathID® Smart System measures and computes the ratio between 13CO2 and 12CO2 in the patient's exhaled breath before and after the ingestion of 13C-urea. The change in the 13CO2 / 12CO2 ratio before and after ingestion of 13C-urea is used to compute the Delta over Baseline (DOB).

The 13C measurement method for both the subject and the cleared (predicate) versions of the BreathID® Hp Lab Systems is based on Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ (MCS) technology. MCS technology is based on the concept of optical absorption of specific radiation emitted from CO2 discharge lamps.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of the BreathID® Smart System as substantially equivalent to the BreathID® Hp Lab System (predicate device). The Special 510(k) submission focuses on a modified configuration of the predicate device, integrating three existing stand-alone components into one. The performance testing section primarily addresses verification and validation of the modified system, rather than a clinical study establishing diagnostic performance against a ground truth for a novel device.

Therefore, the information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria is geared towards demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device in terms of performance characteristics, not a primary diagnostic accuracy study.

Here's the breakdown of the information that can be extracted from the provided text, along with what is not available given the nature of this document (a 510(k) summary for a modified device):

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document mentions that all predefined acceptance criteria were met but does not explicitly list the quantitative acceptance criteria for most tests, beyond the cutoff point for detection. The tests described are primarily engineering and analytical validation tests comparing the new device to the predicate, rather than a clinical diagnostic accuracy study.

Acceptance Criteria (Implicit/Explicit)Reported Device Performance
Precision Tests: Within laboratory precision/repeatabilityNot explicitly stated, but "All the pre-defined acceptance criteria were met" for accurate and repeatable results over time.
Reproducibility Test: Between devicesNot explicitly stated, but "All the pre-defined acceptance criteria were met" for accurate and repeatable results over time.
Sample Carry-Over Test: No sample carry-over effect"The carry-over test was designed to demonstrate that the system has no sample carry-over effect." (Implies acceptance criteria met)
Environmental Tests: Performance within specified transportation, storage, and operating conditions (temperature, altitude, vibrations, drop tests)"The BreathID® Smart system was functionality tested several times during the Environmental test and found within the acceptance criteria."
Comparison to Predicate (Interchangeability): BreathID® Smart System performance is statistically comparable to BreathID® Hp Lab System"A comparison test... statistically shows that both systems may be used interchangeably."
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)Not explicitly stated, but implies compliance as "All the pre-defined acceptance criteria were met."
H. pylori Detection Cut-off Point: 5.0 DOB per mil (post dose minus pre dose)Not a performance metric of this study, but the same cut-off point as the predicate device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Comparison Test: 80 measurements were performed on each system (BreathID® Hp Lab System and BreathID® Smart System).
  • Data Provenance: The tests used "contrived gases simulating different levels of 13CO2". This indicates these were bench tests using simulated samples, not human patient data. The country of origin of this specific test data is not provided, but the applicant's address is in Israel.

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)

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: For the performance tests described (precision, reproducibility, carry-over, environmental, and comparison using contrived gases), expert interpretation of patient samples was not required to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the known concentration of the simulated gases.

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

  • None: Adjudication methods are typically relevant for clinical studies where multiple experts interpret patient data to establish a definitive diagnosis. The described tests used direct measurement of simulated gas concentrations and engineering validation, which do not involve expert adjudication.

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 MRMC Study: This document does not describe an MRMC study. The device measures a chemical ratio in breath; it is not an imaging device or AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would involve human readers.

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

  • Not Applicable: The device is a diagnostic system that provides a numerical output (DOB) and a positive/negative determination based on a predefined cut-off. It is inherently a standalone measurement system, but the term "standalone performance" often refers to an AI algorithm's performance without human interaction. This device is an instrument, not an AI algorithm in the traditional sense, though it does have embedded software. The performance testing focuses on the system's ability to accurately measure 13CO2/12CO2 ratios.

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

  • Known/Contrived Gas Concentrations: For the described performance tests, the "ground truth" for the test set was created using "contrived gases simulating different levels of 13CO2". This means the expected 13CO2 concentrations were known and controlled by the experimenters.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided: The device is an instrument for measuring a specific chemical ratio, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a training set in the conventional sense. Its functionality is based on molecular correlation spectroscopy an established technology.

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

  • Not Applicable: As there's no "training set" in the context of an AI model, there's no ground truth establishment for such a set. The device's operation is based on physical principles of spectrometry and a defined chemical reaction.

Comparison of Intended Use

The intended use of the modified BreathID® Hp Lab System, (to include the BreathID® Smart System) has essentially remained equivalent to the predicate; both are intended for the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection in adult and pediatric (ages 3-17 years old) patients, and both are prescription devices are designed for performing multiple 13002 based breath tests automatically one after the other. But while the cleared BreathID Hp Lab system has an external auto sampler which enables sequential testing of 10 pairs of Breath Sample bags, the BreathID Smart analyzer includes an integrated auto sampler that enables sequential testing of 4 pairs of Breath Sample bags. These pairs are measured sequentially and automatically as in the predicate BreathID® Hp Lab System.

Test Kit and Ingested Drug

The BreathID® Smart System and the predicate BreathID® Hp Lab System both use the same IDkit Hp™ Two kit that consists of 13C urea, approved in NDA 21-314, and breath collection bags, approved in K162150. The protocol for breath collection and ingestion of 13C urea remains unchanged.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

  • The BreathID® Smart System shares with its predicate device the same measurement . system based on the same technology, the same test kit, the same test substrate, and the same diagnostic capabilities. Both the subject and predicate systems use the MCS technology (Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy) and measure the ratio of 13 CO2/1CO2 in exhaled breath prior to and after administration of the test substrate (13C-Urea). The MCS technology measures the light absorbance by infrared spectrometry, which is correlative to CO2 concentration in the breath sample. The output result in both systems is the Delta Over Baseline (DOB) and a positive/negative determination is based on the same assay cut-off (>5 DOB).
  • The predicate device includes an analyzer which is connected to an external auto sampler, . enabling automatic and sequential testing of 10 pairs of breath sample bags. The modified device is based on the same analyzer as the predicate, with an integrated auto sampler, enabling four pairs of breath sample bags to be measured automatically and sequentially.

{8}------------------------------------------------

  • The predicate device includes an external computer component to run the BreathID Lab ● Application software that communicates with the BreathID analyzer and external auto sampler. In the modified device, the computer and application software are built into the BreathID analyzer.

Summary of Performance Testing

Exalenz has performed extensive and well executed verification and validation to verify the performance of the BreathID® Smart System. The verification and validation testing program for the BreathID Smart system was designed based on the device specifications and requirements, as well as on the associated potential risks, as identified and evaluated in the risk analysis and in accordance with FDA recognized standards.

Software Verification and Validation

Software testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the subject system and to verify that it performs according to its software requirements. Verification involved functionality testing, timing analysis, integration with the hardware, and error detection and handling. Verification was achieved by design reviews, code walkthroughs, functional testing of subcomponents and integration testing with the hardware.

System Performance and Safety Testing

The performance bench testing program consisted of the following tests:

  • . Precision Tests (Precision, Repeatability and Reproducibility). Precision testing focused on the within laboratory precision/repeatability of the system and used one device, while the reproducibility test used 3 devices.
  • Sample Carry-Over Test. The carry-over test was designed to demonstrate that the . system has no sample carry-over effect.
  • Environmental Tests (transportation, storage and operating conditions). The specified . transportation, storage and operating conditions of the BreathID® Smart Device are identical to those of the predicate system. The environmental tests included temperature and altitude end conditions, vibrations and drop tests. The BreathID® Smart system was functionality tested several times during the Environmental test and found within the acceptance criteria.

{9}------------------------------------------------

  • Comparison test between the predicate BreathID® Hp Lab System and the BreathID® . Smart System. A comparison test between the predicate system and the device subject of this submission ran 80 measurements on each system and statistically shows that both systems may be used interchangeably.
  • Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) .

The above tests used contrived gases for simulating different levels of 13CO2 as a result of H. pylori infection. All the pre-defined acceptance criteria were met; therefore, it can be concluded that the BreathID® Smart System was verified to give accurate and repeatable results over time.

Conclusion:

The information submitted in this premarket notification is complete and demonstrates that the modified BreathID® Hp Lab System, the BreathID® Smart System, is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a substantial equivalence decision.
