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

  • Precision/Reproducibility/Cut-Off Value Study:

    • Test Set Size (Serum): 90 replicates for each hCG concentration level (3 sites x 30 replicates per concentration). In total, 9 concentrations were tested, so 90 x 9 = 810 tests.
    • Test Set Size (Urine): 90 replicates for each hCG concentration level (3 sites x 30 replicates per concentration). In total, 9 concentrations were tested, so 90 x 9 = 810 tests.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the testing was conducted at "three testing sites" by "six different operators." It's likely these were internal or contract labs, possibly within China (where the manufacturer is located) or the US (where the submitter's contact is). The data is from controlled experimental studies.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Prospective (experimental spiking of samples).
  • Method Comparison Study:

    • Test Set Size (Urine): 105 urine samples.
    • Test Set Size (Serum): 107 serum samples.
    • Total Test Set Size: 212 samples (from 212 women).
    • Data Provenance: Samples collected from 212 women from "three testing sites." Ages ranged from 20 to 49 years. "About half of them were pregnant, early stage at less than 5 weeks." Not explicitly stated, but implies clinical samples used for comparison. The country of origin is not specified.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Likely prospective clinical sample collection for the purpose of the study.
  • Other Analytical Performance Studies (Specificity, Interference, pH/Specific Gravity):

    • Sample sizes vary but generally involve spiking negative and positive samples with various concentrations of the interferent/condition and testing with 3 different lots by 3 different operators. Exact total sample counts for each condition are not explicitly provided but involve multiple replicates across lots and operators.
    • Data Provenance: Controlled experimental studies with spiked samples.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Prospective (experimental spiking of samples).

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

  • Precision/Reproducibility/Cut-Off Value Study: The "ground truth" for the test set was established by precisely spiking known concentrations of hCG (traceable to the 5th WHO international Standard) into negative serum or urine specimens. This is an analytical truth rather than an expert interpretation. Six different operators performed these tests; their qualifications are not specified but would typically be laboratory technicians.
  • Method Comparison Study:
    • The "ground truth" for the comparison study was the result obtained from the predicate device (K132834, Clarity Diagnostics Clarity hCG Pregnancy Combo Test Cassette). This means the predicate device itself served as the reference standard, and the new device's agreement was measured against it.
    • There is no mention of independent experts establishing a "true" pregnancy status. The comparison is between two devices.
    • The tests were performed by "different health professionals," but their specific number or qualifications (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience) are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Precision/Reproducibility/Cut-Off Value Study: No adjudication method as the ground truth was analytically determined (spiked concentrations). Results were recorded and analyzed statistically.
  • Method Comparison Study: No adjudication method mentioned for comparing the predicate and new device results against a separate "true" outcome. The comparison itself uses the predicate device as the reference.

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

No. This document describes the performance of an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test, not an imaging device or AI-powered diagnostic that would typically involve human readers interpreting cases with and without AI assistance. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed, and there is no effect size reported for human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance.

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

Yes, in essence. The studies present the analytical performance of the device itself (the "algorithm" or immunoassay), reporting its ability to detect hCG in various conditions. While "health professionals" perform the tests, the core performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, cut-off accuracy, interference) are inherent to the device's design and chemical reactions, operating in a standalone manner once the sample is applied. The "Method Comparison Study" directly evaluates the standalone performance of the device against another device.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Analytical Studies (Precision, Specificity, Interference, pH/Specific Gravity): The ground truth was based on known, precisely controlled concentrations of hCG, interferents, or specific pH/gravity conditions, established through spiking or preparing samples. This is a form of analytical truth.
  • Method Comparison Study: The ground truth for this study was the results obtained from a legally marketed predicate device. The predicate device's results were accepted as the reference against which the new device was compared.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This document primarily describes analytical validation and comparison studies. For an IVD device like this, there isn't typically a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The device's performance is driven by its biochemical design and manufacturing process, not trained on data. Development may involve iterative testing and refinement, but a formal "training set" size as understood in AI/ML is not applicable or provided here.

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

As noted above, a "training set" in the context of AI/ML is not applicable for this type of immunoassay device. The device's operational parameters (like antibody conjugates, membrane properties, and cut-off thresholds) are established through research, development, and analytical validation studies, not by training on a labeled dataset.

9. Test Principle

It is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. When a sample is added, the sample is absorbed into the device by capillary action and mixes with the antibodydye conjugate (mouse anti-beta HCG monoclonal antibody), flowing across the precoated (Goat anti HCG polyclonal antibody) membrane. At analyte concentration above the target cut off, it produces a colored test line that indicates a positive result. When analyte concentration is below the cutoff, no colored band shows in the test region, indicating a negative result. No line in the "C" region indicates that the test is invalid.

10. Performance Characteristics

c. Specificity / Cross Reactivity

High Dose Effect

Negative urine (serum) samples were spiked with varying high hCG concentrations ranging from 500 to 2,000,000 mIU/mL. The spiked samples were tested by 3 different lots and 3 different operators. No hook effect was observed at these concentrations.

Effects of hCG ß-core fragment

Negative and positive samples (5 and 10 mIU/mL hCG in serum; 10 and 20 mIU/mL hCG in urine) were spiked with various concentrations of ß -core fragment hCG (0 to 2x106pmol/L). These samples were tested by 3 different lots and 3 different operators. No difference was observed for different lots and different operators. No interference was observed for these samples for the devices except that false positive was observed above the 100 pmol/L ß -core fragment hCG.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Effects of glycoprotein LH, FSH and TSH

Negative and positive samples (10 and 20 mIU/mL hCG for urine, and 5 and 10 mIU/mL hCG for serum) were spiked with various concentrations of other glycoprotein hormones such as LH, FSH, and TSH. Samples were tested using three different lots by three operators. No interference was observed for these samples for the device at LH concentrations up to 500 IU/mL, FSH concentrations up to 1000 mIU/mL, and TSH concentrations up to 1000 uIU/mL.

d. Interference

To evaluate potential interference from certain exogenous compounds, each interferent was made at 100X concentrate bulk and spiked in both hCG negative (5mIU/mL for serum, 10mIU/mL for urine) and hCG positive (10mIU/mL for serum, 20mIU/mL for urine) samples. Each spiked urine sample was mixed for 5 minutes to ensure a homogeneous solution before testing. Each sample was tested using 3 different lots of the testing kit. Results are shown in the following table.
