Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use only. For the quantitative measurement of N-terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in human serum and plasma (K2 EDTA or Lithium Heparin) using the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System to aid in the diagnosis of heart failure. The test can also be used in the assessment of heart failure severity in patients diagnosed with heart failure.
Device Description
The VITROS NT-proBNP II test is performed using the VITROS VITROS NT-proBNP II Reagent Pack and the VITROS NT-proBNP II Calibrators on the VITROS Systems. The VITROS NT-proBNP II test utilizes a one-step immunometric bridging assay design. A well is pushed from the pack and patient sample is dispensed into the antibody coated well. The assay reagent and the conjugate reagent are then dispensed into the well with the patient sample. NT-proBNP present in the sample binds with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibody conjugate which is captured by biotinylated anti-NT-proBNP capture antibody which is bound to Streptavidin coated microwells. The well is incubated for 8 minutes, before unbound materials are removed by washing. The bound HRP conjugate is measured by a luminescent reaction. A reagent containing luminogenic substrate (a luminol derivative and a peracid salt) and an electron transfer agent, is added to the wells. The HRP in the bound conjugate catalyzes the oxidation of the luminol derivative, producing light. The electron transfer agent (a substituted acetanilide) increases the level of light produced and prolongs its emission. The light signals are read by the System. The amount of HRP conjugate bound is directly proportional to the concentration of NT-proBNP present.

The device description details a standard immunometric assay based on chemical reactions and light detection. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on traditional statistical metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, not metrics typically associated with AI/ML model evaluation.

No
Explanation: This device is for in vitro diagnostic use, specifically for the quantitative measurement of NT-proBNP to aid in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure. It does not provide any therapy or treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "For in vitro diagnostic use only," and "to aid in the diagnosis of heart failure." The device measures a biomarker to assist in identifying a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemical assay performed on a physical instrument (VITROS Systems) using reagents and calibrators. This involves hardware components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

The document explicitly states: "# Intended Use / Indications for Use For in vitro diagnostic use only." This statement directly identifies the device as an in vitro diagnostic product.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Emergency Department Setting: A multi-center prospective study including 20 collection sites across the United States was conducted. Subjects 22 years and older presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with dyspnea (acute or worsening) and clinical suspicion of heart failure (HF) were enrolled into the study. Subjects with terminal kidney failure on chronic dialysis and subjects with dyspnea clearly not secondary to HF were excluded from the study. The final clinical diagnosis was adjudicated by independent cardiologists or ED physicians experienced in diagnosing HF. Individuals in the population were African American (36.55%) and Caucasian (59.59%), with the remaining 3.86% represented by other races. Dyspnea was acute in 44.09%, worsening in 55.45% and not specified in 0.45% of subjects. The VITROS NT-proBNP II test results were determined from 2200 ED subjects, 1016 (46.18%) females and 1184 (53.82%) males, ranging in age from 22 to 106 years.

Outpatient Setting: The VITROS NT-proBNP II test results were also determined from 777 subjects, 391 females and 386 males ranging in age from 23 to 94 years presenting to Cardiology Clinics and other outpatient facilities with a clinical suspicion of HF (not previously diagnosed) and at least one HF sign, symptom or risk factor at 10 collection sites across the United States. Subjects with terminal kidney failure on chronic dialysis and subjects with dyspnea clearly not secondary to HF were excluded from the study. The final clinical diagnosis was adjudicated by independent cardiologists or ED physicians experienced in diagnosing HF. The prevalence of HF in the population was 6.18% (48/777). Individuals in the population were African American (31.66%) and Caucasian (64.74%), with the remaining 3.60% represented by other races.

Correlation with NYHA Functional Classification: The VITROS NT-proBNP II test results were determined from samples from 1143 subjects with heart failure ranging in age from 22 to 106 years. The population consisted of 475/1143 (41.56%) females and 668/1143 (58.44%) males.

The following analyses were conducted to determine clinical performance:

Results ClassificationAdjudicated DiagnosisTotal
HFNon-HF
Positive: Heart Failure LikelyABA+B
Gray Zone: Result
IndeterminateCDC+D
Negative: Heart Failure
UnlikelyEFE+F
TotalA+C+EB+D+FA+B+C+D+E+F

Pretest Probability of HF (prevalence of HF in the study) = (A+C+E)(A+B+C+D+E+F)

Posttest Probability of HF

Posttest probability of HF for positive test results = A/(A+B)

Posttest probability of HF for Gray zone test results = C/(C+D)

Posttest Probability of non-HF

Posttest probability of non-HF for Gray zone test results = D/(C+D)

Posttest probability of non-HF for negative test results = F/(E+F)

Likelihood ratios (LR) of HF given VITROS NT-proBNP II test result category

LR positive = (A/(A+C+E))/(B/(B+D+F))

LR gray zone = (C/(A+C+E))/(D/(B+D+F))

LR negative = (E/(A+C+E))/(F/(B+D+F))

The pretest probability of HF (prevalence of HF in the study), posttest probabilities, likelihood ratios and the two-tailed 95% CIs of the VITROS NT-proBNP II test result versus adjudicated diagnosis were determined across and within gender using the agedependent rule-in (450 pg/mL for subjects 22-75 years old) and age-independent rule-out (300 pg/mL) cutoffs and are summarized in the following tables:
