AI/ML Overview

This document describes the acceptance criteria and the study proving that the ADVIA Centaur® CEA assay meets these criteria, specifically for the addition of plasma (EDTA and lithium heparin) sample claims.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the reported performance characteristics, especially for specimen equivalence and interference, as the submission focuses on demonstrating equivalence to a previously cleared device.

Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Candidate Device)
Detection CapabilityLoB: 0.50 ng/mL (µg/L)
LoD: 1.00 ng/mL (µg/L)
LoQ: 2.00 ng/mL (µg/L)
Accuracy / Method ComparisonCorrelation (r) close to 1.00; Slope (ADVIA Centaur CEA vs ACS:180 CEA) close to 1.00; Intercept close to 0.00Correlation (r) = 1.00; Slope = 0.97; Intercept = 0.11 ng/mL
Specimen EquivalenceSlope (alternate tube types vs serum) = 0.90–1.10Dipotassium EDTA plasma vs Serum: Slope = 0.95, Intercept = 0.20 ng/mL (µg/L), r = 1.00 Lithium Heparin plasma vs Serum: Slope = 0.99, Intercept = 0.19 ng/mL (µg/L), r = 1.00
InterferencesBias due to interferents within acceptable limits (not explicitly stated, but implied by data presentation)Dipotassium EDTA (9.0 mg/mL): 5.78 ng/mL: -0.3% Bias 55.62 ng/mL: 4.6% Bias Heparin (75 U/mL): 5.83 ng/mL: -0.6% Bias 61.23 ng/mL: 0.9% Bias

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

  • Accuracy/Method Comparison: 201 samples (range of 2.00 to 78.93 ng/mL).
  • Specimen Equivalence:
    • Dipotassium EDTA plasma vs. Serum: 64 samples (range of 2.08-97.10 ng/mL).
    • Lithium Heparin plasma vs. Serum: 46 samples (range of 2.11-97.10 ng/mL).
  • Interferences: Analyte concentrations were tested at 5-6 ng/mL and 55-61 ng/mL for each interferent (Dipotassium EDTA and Heparin). The exact number of samples per concentration is not specified, but it implies a controlled experimental setup.

The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. However, given the context of a 510(k) submission for a diagnostic device, the data would typically be derived from controlled, prospective studies conducted in a clinical or laboratory setting.

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

This information is not applicable. The device measures a quantitative analyte (CEA) in blood samples. The "ground truth" for the test set is established by the reference method (ACS:180 CEA assay for accuracy/method comparison, or the serum sample itself for specimen equivalence) and the intrinsic concentration of the analyte, rather than expert consensus on interpretive tasks.

4. Adjudication Method (for the test set)

Not applicable, as the "ground truth" is based on quantitative measurements by a reference method or direct comparison, not subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.

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

No MRMC study was done. This type of study is typical for imaging or interpretive AI devices comparing human performance with and without AI assistance. The ADVIA Centaur® CEA assay is an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative chemical measurement, not an AI-powered interpretive tool.

6. Standalone Performance

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The document reports the detection capability (LoB, LoD, LoQ), method comparison, specimen equivalence, and interference studies of the ADVIA Centaur® CEA assay as a standalone device. These studies evaluate the assay's characteristics directly without a human-in-the-loop component for interpretation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Accuracy/Method Comparison: The ground truth was established by comparison to a legally marketed predicate device, the ACS:180 CEA assay. This essentially uses the measurements from an established, accepted method as the reference.
  • Specimen Equivalence: The ground truth was the CEA concentration measured in serum samples, against which plasma samples (EDTA and lithium heparin) were compared.
  • Detection Capability and Interferences: The ground truth for these studies would be based on known concentrations of CEA and interferents in control samples, which are objectively measurable.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

No information is provided regarding a separate "training set" for the assay itself. For in vitro diagnostic devices like this, the development process involves extensive calibration, reagent optimization, and verification using various samples, but these are generally considered part of development and verification, not a distinct "training set" in the machine learning sense. The clinical studies described (method comparison, specimen equivalence) serve as external validation of the device's performance.

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

Not applicable, as there is no explicitly defined "training set" in the context of machine learning for this in vitro diagnostic assay. The device's performance is driven by the biochemical interactions of the reagents, not by a learned model from a training set. The calibration and standardization of the assay are traceable to an internal standard manufactured using highly purified material, as stated in the "Standardization" section of Table 1.

Dear Mey Lyn Vasquez:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS DATA 9.

Detection Capability

Detection capability was determined in accordance with CLSI Document EP17-A2. 11

Limit of Blank (LoB)0.50 ng/mL (µg/L)
Limit of Detection (LoD)1.00 ng/mL (µg/L)
Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)2.00 ng/mL (µg/L)

The LoB corresponds to the highest measurement likely to be observed for a blank sample with a probability of 95%.

The LoD corresponds to the lowest concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen that can be detected with a probability of 95%.

The LoQ corresponds to the lowest amount of carcinoembryonic antigen in a sample at which the within laboratory CV is ≤ 20%.

Method Comparison

Method comparison data and regression analysis was revised in K200215.

Accuracy / Method Comparison

For 201 samples in the range of 2.00 to 78.93 ng/mL (µg/L), the relationship between the ADVIA Centaur CEA assay and the ACS:180 CEA assay is described by the equation:

ADVIA Centaur CEA = 0.97 (ACS:180 CEA) + 0.11 ng/mL Correlation coefficient (r) = 1.00

Specimen Equivalence

Specimen equivalency was determined using the Deming linear regression model in accordance with CLSI Document EP09-A3. The following results were obtained:

§ 866.6010 Tumor-associated antigen immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.
