Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer

The cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer is a fully automated urine microscopy system for a range of urine particle determinations.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state a single table of "acceptance criteria" against "reported device performance." Instead, it presents various performance studies (Precision, Analytical Sensitivity, Linearity, Dilution, Interferences, Assay Cut-Off, and Method Comparison) and states that "All predefined acceptance criteria were met" for each, or provides detailed results that demonstrate meeting criteria. The closest to reported performance criteria vs. actual results are in the Method Comparison section.

Here's an aggregated table focusing on the method comparison to the reference method, as this directly compares the device's output to a recognized standard or clinical assessment.

Note: The document generally states "All predefined acceptance criteria were met" for various studies. For quantitative parameters (RBC, WBC), the acceptance criteria are implied by the excellent regression and correlation results. For semi-quantitative and qualitative parameters, the acceptance criteria are implied by the high Cohen's Kappa, PPA, and NPA values, indicating very good agreement with the reference method.

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

  • Method Comparison Study: 689 samples
  • Reference Range Study: 621 "urine healthy" residual samples.
  • Total Clinical Evaluation Samples: 1310 samples (689 for method comparison + 621 for reference range, with interferences evaluated using these same samples).
  • Data Provenance: Clinical samples (residual amounts from routine) were used. The studies were conducted at three sites: two European sites (Site 1, Site 2) and one site located in the US (Site 3). The samples were from patients with an age range of 1 month to 98 years. This indicates mixed geographic origin (local to the three sites) and a retrospective component (residual amounts from routine).

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

The ground truth for the method comparison study was established using manual microscopy with KOVA slides as the comparator method. The document does not specify the number of experts, or their specific qualifications (e.g., number of years of experience, certification). It only refers to "visual counting." For the qualitative and semi-quantitative parameters, the "agreement rates" (PPA, NPA, Cohen's Kappa) are reported relative to this manual KOVA method, performed by human operators.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1). It refers to the manual KOVA counting method as the "reference method." This implies that the KOVA results were considered the ground truth without further multi-reader adjudication for the ground truth itself. However, the "Method Comparison" section does state that "All instrument analyte image decisions may be reviewed and reclassified by a trained operator" as part of the device's intended use, which is a form of human-in-the-loop review, but not necessarily a part of establishing the initial ground truth for the study.

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

The document does not describe a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study directly comparing human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance. The study compares the device's performance (algorithm only) to a manual reference method. The device's indications for use mention that "All instrument analyte image decisions may be reviewed and reclassified by a trained operator," implying human-in-the-loop use, but the presented studies are for standalone device performance against a manual method.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

Yes, a standalone study was done. The precision, analytical sensitivity, linearity, dilution, and interference studies directly evaluate the performance of the "cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer." The method comparison study also assesses the "cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer" against manual microscopy, effectively evaluating the standalone performance of the automated system. The results presented (Passing Bablok regression, agreement rates) are for the device's output.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the method comparison study was manual microscopy using KOVA slides. This is a well-established laboratory method for urine sediment analysis and can be considered a form of expert consensus or reference method consensus if performed by trained laboratory professionals.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly mention the sample size used for the training set for the device's image processing and evaluation software. The reported sample sizes (1310 total clinical samples) are for the non-clinical performance evaluation and external (clinical) testing (test set).

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

The document does not provide details on how the ground truth for the training set was established. It describes the "cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer" as evaluating images with "an image processing software which is able to detect and further classify the following urine particles," suggesting a machine learning or rule-based system. However, the methodology for creating the labeled data (ground truth) used to develop or train this software is not described in the provided text.

Principle ofOperationThe iQ200 System auto-identifies andprocesses barcoded tubespecimens in 10-position racks bymixing, sampling, and analyzingautomatically. The iQ200 systemincorporates an iQ200 AutomatedUrine Microscopy Analyzer, in whicha sample is presented as a laminasandwiched between envelopinglayers of suspending fluid to amicroscope coupled to a CCD (chargecoupling device) video camera.This lamination positions thespecimen exactly within the depth offocus and field of view of theobjective lens of the microscope.Lamination is the planar equivalent ofaxial hydrodynamic focusing, used toposition cells in certain types of bloodcell counters and flow cytometers. Ithas the added advantage of achievingorthoscopic particle orientation,thereby presenting asymmetricparticles with their largest profilefacing the direction of view.A CCD digital camera captures fivehundred frames per sample, as eachmicroscopic field of view isilluminated by the flash of a strobelamp. The resulting pictures aredigitized and delivered to the AnalysisProcessor computer. A previouslystored image of a blank background issubtracted from the individual fieldsof view, enhancing the morphology ofthe captured particle.Individual particle images are isolatedwithin each frame. The Auto-The analyzer auto-identifies andprocesses barcoded tube specimens in5-position racks by mixing, sampling,and analyzing automatically.cobas u 701 microscopy analyzerincorporates a robotic liquid handlingsystem that pipettes an aliquot of thespecimen into a disposable cuvette.The filled cuvette is forwarded to thebuilt-in centrifuge for centrifugationof the non-soluble particles. After thecentrifugation, all particles are broughtto one monolayer to ensure they are allat the same focal plane. A built incamera takes pictures through a builtin microscope at several positions ofthe sediment. All images are evaluatedby an image processing softwarewhich is able to detect and furtherclassify the following urine particles• Red blood cells• White blood cells• Squamous epithelial cells• Bacteria• Hyaline casts• Non-squamous epithelial cells• Crystals• Yeast• Pathological casts• Mucus• Sperm
An appropriately trained laboratoryuser may manually re-classify or sub-classify particles on the basis of theacquired pictures
FeaturePredicate DeviceIRIS IQ 200 (K022774)Candidate Devicecobas u 701 microscopy analyzer
Particle Recognition (APRTM) software, a highly trained neural network, uses size, shape, contrast and texture features to classify each image into one of 12 categories: RBCs, WBCs, WBC Clumps, Hyaline Casts, Unclassified Casts, Squamous Epithelial Cells, Non-squamous Epithelial Cells, Bacteria, Yeast, Crystals, Mucus and Sperm. Particle concentration is calculated using the number of images and the volume scanned. User-defined release criteria are checked and results are sent to an operator review screen or directly uploaded to the LIS based on these criteria. Specimen results can be edited, archived, retrieved, imported, exported and formatted into custom reports.Particle concentration is calculated using the average count from the assessed images.

Analytical Sensitivity 4.2.

4.2.1. Limit of Blank (LoB)

Limit of Blank (LoB) of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer was determined using one lot of cobas u cuvette and three cobas u 701 microscopy analyzers.

The Limit of Blank (LoB) is the highest observed measured value for samples free of analyte. The Limit of Blank was determined as the 95th percentile of the measurement of blank samples. All predefined acceptance criteria were met.

Limit of Detection (LoD) 4.2.2.

Limit of Detection (LoD) of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer were determined using one lot of cobas u cuvette and three cobas u 701 microscopy analyzers.

Limit of Detection (LoD) determines the detection limit for samples with low analyte concentration. The LoD was determined as the lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be detected with a 95% probability. All predefined acceptance criteria were met.

Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) 4.2.3.

Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer were determined using one lot of cobas u cuvette and three cobas u 701 microscopy analyzers.

Limit of Quantitation (LoO) is defined as the lowest analyte concentration in a sample that can be reproducibly measured. All predefined acceptance criteria were met.

Linearity/Assay Reportable Range 4.3.

  • Deviation to Higher Order Polynomial/Percentage for "Significant Level of 4.3.1. Deviation"
    Linearity of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer was determined for the two quantitative parameters Red Blood Cells (RBC) and White Blood Cells (WBC) using one lot of cobas u cuvette and one cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer. Linear regression was calculated according CLSI EP6-A.

{24}------------------------------------------------

4.4. Dilution

The dilution study assessed the performance of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer when diluted samples are evaluated.

Note: Dilution of urine is not advisable however, when sample dilution is performed using saline as the diluent, with immediate evaluation on the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer, results will be obtained.

Interferences 4.5.

The interference study assessed the potential interferences that may occur on the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer due to its measurement technology; clinical samples were assessed for the individual interferents.

Native human urine samples containing the following interfering particles were measured on the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer: high concentrations of mucus strands, artefacts, clumps, cell fragments, dysmorphic cells, shining particles, crowded samples, highly viscous samples and high turbidity (Intralipid) samples. Furthermore, challenging native urine samples including amorphous crystals and trichomonas were evaluated.

Assay Cut-Off Determination 4.6.

For semi-quantitative and qualitative assay cut-off determination, range limits had to be set. Range limits were set using empirical and theoretical information from literature, knowledge from clinical practice and the available data from external performed studies.

EXTERNAL (CLINICAL) TESTING 5.

The clinical evaluation included a total of 1310 samples, 689 for the method comparison study and 621 for the reference range study, which were used to execute 3 studies including method comparison for all parameters and reference value assessment for Red Blood Cells (RBC) and White Blood Cells (WBC), executed at two European sites (Site 1, Site 2) and one site located in the US (Site 3). In addition, those same samples were used for evaluation of interferences.

{25}------------------------------------------------

Method Comparison 5.1.

Method Comparison versus Reference Method 5.1.1.

To assess the accuracy of the cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer, the method comparison study was performed with manual microscopy using KOVA slides as the comparator method utilizing clinical samples.

The tables below (Table 13 – Table 15) summarize the results of the method comparison studies performed between cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer and visual counting using the Kova chamber. All obtained statistical results from the single sites as well as for the compiled data sets were within the defined specifications and confirmed the substantial equivalence of the automated cobas u 701 microscopy analyzer with the manual Kova counting method.

Below is the compiled demographics and information about the age range at the study sites. As there are no known differences related to race and ethnicity, this information was not taken into consideration in the demographic information.

(a)
Identification. An automated cell counter is a fully-automated or semi-automated device used to count red blood cells, white blood cells, or blood platelets using a sample of the patient's peripheral blood (blood circulating in one of the body's extremities, such as the arm). These devices may also measure hemoglobin or hematocrit and may also calculate or measure one or more of the red cell indices (the erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume, the mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration). These devices may use either an electronic particle counting method or an optical counting method.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
