Intended Use
The ASI Automated RPR (rapid plasma reagin) Test for Syphilis, for use on the ASI Evolution Automated Analyzer, is a qualitative and semiquantitative flocculation test for the detection of nontreponemal antibodies in human serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis. All reactive RPR test samples should be further tested with a treponemal test to determine serological evidence of syphilis infection. The test is intended to be used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
Device Description
The ASI Evolution is an integrated digital particle analyzer designed to objectively interpret certain slide agglutination tests manufactured by Arlington Scientific. Inc. (ASI). The ASI Evolution fully automates the sample and reagent handling steps of the test procedure. Qualitative and semiquantitative tests are performed by laboratory professionals who use the ASI Evolution to provide standardized test interpretation using criteria that define reactive and nonreactive agglutination reactions. The ASI Evolution employs a camera that uses light reflectance to create a highly sensitive and high-resolution image of the agglutination immunoassay. This image is then analyzed by the proprietary software algorithm to interpret the agglutination pattern. The ASI Evolution further provides tools that enable the creation, storage, retrieval and transmittal of the test results. The ASI Automated RPR Test for Syphilis reagents include the following: CARBON ANTIGEN - 0.003% cardiolipin, 0.020-0.022% lecithin, 0.09% cholesterol, charcoal (activated) as visual enhancer, phosphate buffer, 0.1% sodium azide as preservative and stabilizers. CONTROLS (REACTIVE, WEAK REACTIVE, NONREACTIVE) - Human serum or defibrinated plasma (liquid), with 0.1% sodium azide as preservative. Reagents have two-year expiration dating from date of manufacture. The specific expiration date is located on the label on the vial.

Unknown
The document mentions a "proprietary software algorithm" that analyzes images to interpret agglutination patterns. While this involves image analysis, it doesn't explicitly state or provide evidence that this algorithm utilizes AI or ML techniques. The description of the performance studies focuses on comparing a "new interpretation algorithm" to an "original interpretation algorithm," which could be rule-based or traditional image processing methods rather than AI/ML. There is no mention of training data, models, or other common indicators of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to detect non-treponemal antibodies to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis, not a device used for treating disease.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis" and "is intended to be used for in vitro diagnostic testing."

No

The device description clearly states that the ASI Evolution is an "integrated digital particle analyzer" that "fully automates the sample and reagent handling steps." It also mentions the use of a "camera" and "light reflectance" to create images for analysis. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The test is intended to be used for in vitro diagnostic testing."

Furthermore, the device is designed to detect nontreponemal antibodies in human serum and plasma to aid in the diagnosis of syphilis, which is a diagnostic purpose performed outside of the body (in vitro).

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

The ASI Evolution was evaluated for equivalence, in its pattern of reactivity using a total of 1.762 individual retrospective samples, with identifiers removed, that had been collected from different Departments of Public Health Labs and Blood Banks. Reactive, Weak Reactive and Nonreactive controls were run on each day of testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance Data: A comparison of the digital interpretation of the results from the ASI Evolution using the original interpretation algorithm (K173376, BK170114, and K182391) to establish substantial equivalence to the interpretation made by the ASI Evolution using the new interpretation algorithm was conducted.

Retrospective Serum Sample Testing - 872 Samples

  • Positive agreement: 91/(91 + 0) = 100% 95% Cl = 96.03% - 100%
  • Negative agreement: 775/(775 + 6) = 99.23% 95% Cl = 98.34% - 99.72%
  • Note: The six discordant results were investigated and tested with a treponemal test and found to be reactive.
  • Serum samples were from both SST and Red Top tubes.

Retrospective Plasma Sample Testing - 890 Samples

  • Total Plasma positive agreement: 119/(119 + 5) = 95.97% 95% Cl = 90.91% - 98.27%
  • Sodium Citrate positive agreement: 55/(55 + 4) = 93.22% 95% Cl = 83.54% - 98.12%
  • EDTA positive agreement: 64/(64 + 1) = 98.46% 95% Cl = 91.72% - 99.96%
  • Total Plasma negative agreement: 765/(765 + 1) = 99.87% 95% Cl = 99.27% - 100.00%
  • Sodium Citrate negative agreement: 465/(465 + 1) = 99.79% 95% Cl = 98.81% - 99.99%
  • EDTA negative agreement: 300/(300 + 0) = 100% 95% Cl = 98.78% - 100%
  • Note: The six discordant results were investigated and the sample that was called reactive by the new algorithm and nonreactive by the original algorithm was tested with a treponemal test and found to be nonreactive. The five samples that were called nonreactive by the new algorithm and reactive by the original algorithm had bubbles or artifacts in the test well.

Pregnant Women Testing (comparison with ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis on the ASiManager-AT Result)

    • Each sample run in duplicate within the panel.
    • Each sample tested each day for five non-consecutive days by an operator with experience.
    • Each sample tested a second time on each of the days referenced above, separated by approximately 2 hours.
  • Results for 60 tests per sample (N=60): 100% agreement For all samples, with 95% Confidence Intervals ranging from 94.04% to 100%.
  • Conclusion: The data shows a very high degree of reproducibility.

End-point Titer Testing:

  • 9 samples (retrospective control serum and serum samples of known reactivity) tested.
  • Samples tested in eight replicates on ten different days, total of 80 data points for each sample.

Treponema pallidum nontreponemal test reagents.(a)
Identification. Treponema pallidum nontreponemal test reagents are devices that consist of antigens derived from nontreponemal sources (sources not directly associated with treponemal organisms) and control sera (standardized sera with which test results are compared) used in serological tests to identify reagin, an antibody-like agent, which is produced from the reaction of treponema microorganisms with body tissues. The identification aids in the diagnosis of syphilis caused by microorganisms belonging to the genusTreponema and provides epidemiological information on syphilis.(b)

Each sample set of eight replicates were tested ten times giving a total of 80 data points for each sample. The line item data is included with this submission as a separate document. An acceptable result is within +/- 1 titer of the expected result. Nonreactive samples must be nonreactive. The results of the semiquantitative analysis samples are shown in tables below:
