The STA R Max 3® and STA Compact Max 3® are fully automatic clinical analyzers designed to be used by professional laboratory personnel and to perform tests on human venous plasmas (in 3.2% trisodium citrate tubes) the results of which aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

Device Description

The STA R Max 3® and STA Compact Max 3® are fully automatic clinical analyzers designed to be used by professional laboratory personnel and to perform tests on human venous plasmas (in 3.2% trisodium citrate tubes) the results of which aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.
The technological characteristics are the same for all STA R Max® Family and STA Compact Max® family analyzers, including STA R Max 30 and STA Compact Max 30, which is based on two measurement principles: Chronometric measurement principle and Photometry measurement principle.
The analyzers use Diagnostica Stago reagents in addition to open adaptation of other available reagents. The instrument performs multiple test methodologies in random access, as selected by the user. These include clotting time or clot-based tests (i.e. chronometric measures) and photometric assays on plasma samples.
Changes include a redesigned PSR module to replace the Hamilton syringes and Valcor pump of the fluidic circuit and the addition of the HIL module for estimating interferences (Hemoglobin, Icterus, Lipemia).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance data for laboratory instruments (STA R Max 3® and STA Compact Max 3®) used for in vitro coagulation studies, not for an AI/ML-driven medical device for which the acceptance criteria would typically focus on diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC as evaluated by expert readers.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study design elements specific to AI/ML devices (e.g., sample size for test set with provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) is largely not applicable to the content of this FDA 510(k) summary, as it pertains to traditional in vitro diagnostic instruments and their analytical performance.

The document focuses on:

  • Method Comparison: Comparing the new devices' measurements against predicate devices using standard regression analysis (Passing & Bablok, Deming) and correlation coefficients (Spearman's r).
  • Precision/Reproducibility: Assessing the variability of measurements within a run, between runs, between days, and between instruments/sites using standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV%).
  • Interference Testing (HIL): Testing the impact of hemoglobin, icterus, and lipemia on results.

Below is a reinterpretation of the request based on the provided document, focusing on the analytical performance acceptance criteria and study details for these in vitro diagnostic instruments.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Coagulation Analyzers (STA R Max 3® and STA Compact Max 3®)

The provided document details the analytical performance of the STA R Max 3® and STA Compact Max 3® coagulation analyzers, demonstrating their substantial equivalence to predicate devices (STA R Max® and STA Compact Max®). The acceptance criteria are implicit in the presented method comparison and precision data, aiming to show comparable performance to the legally marketed predicates.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Since this is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device (a laboratory instrument) and not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are defined differently than for radiological AI tools. Here, they relate to statistical comparability (method comparison) and measurement reproducibility (precision). The specific quantitative "acceptance criteria" values (e.g., maximum allowable bias, maximum CV%) are not explicitly stated as discrete numbers in the document's summary tables, but rather are implied by the presentation of regression analysis results (slopes, intercepts, correlation coefficients) and precision statistics (SD, CV%). The expectation is that these values demonstrate strong agreement with the predicate devices and sufficient reproducibility for clinical use.

Performance Data Summary (Representing "Met Acceptance Criteria")

Test/CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from comparability with predicate and clinical utility based on CLSI guidelines)Reported Device Performance (Summary)

Precision/ReproducibilityLow CV% for within-run, between-run, between-day, between-instrument/site, and total precision. Specific acceptable CV% ranges are not explicitly stated, but the values provided are generally low indicating high precision. The summary states: "The acceptance criteria were met for all samples in the studies."Detailed tables are provided for 5 different assays (PT, APTT, FIB, AT, D-Dimer) across up to 5 samples per assay, showing SD and CV% for various precision components. For example, for STA R Max 3, combined total precision CV% ranges from 1.1% (PT) to 10.6% (D-Dimer). For STA Compact Max 3, combined total precision CV% ranges from 1.5% (PT) to 9.2% (AT).

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

  • Sample Size:
    • Method Comparison: For each assay and each instrument (STA R Max 3 and STA Compact Max 3), samples were "selected in order to cover the entire measuring range." The exact number of samples (patients) for each method comparison is not explicitly stated as a single number but would be consistent with CLSI EP09c recommendations. For example, the precision data tables indicate 80 replicates per sample per analyzer for single-site precision (e.g., 240 N for "All instruments combined" across 3 analyzers), and 90 N per sample for multi-site precision (across 3 sites) for a total of 270 replicates per sample per parameter across all sites and analyzers.
    • HIL Method Comparison: Not explicitly stated, but samples were "spiked plasma" to create various concentrations across designated indices.
  • Data Provenance: The method comparison studies were conducted at "three external sites." Precision studies were conducted at "one external site" (single-site precision) and "three external sites" (multi-site precision). The country of origin is not specified but is implicitly within a region where FDA regulatory standards are applicable.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Not explicitly stated, but given the nature of instrument validation studies, they are typically purpose-generated (prospective) for the study rather than utilizing historical patient data. Spiked plasma for HIL analysis indicates prospective sample preparation.

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

  • Not applicable in the context of this IVD device. For an in vitro diagnostic instrument like a coagulation analyzer, "ground truth" is established by the analytical method itself, often by comparison to a well-established reference method or the predicate device that has established analytical accuracy. There are no human "experts" establishing a diagnostic ground truth from images or clinical data in the way an AI/ML diagnostic device would require. The "truth" is the measured concentration or clotting time.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. As there are no human interpretations or classifications that require adjudication for this type of IVD instrument validation.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This study pertains to the analytical performance of a laboratory instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that aids human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • Yes, in the context of an IVD analyzer. The "standalone" performance here refers to the analytical performance of the instrument itself when measuring samples. The entire document describes this "standalone" performance through method comparison and precision studies. The device measures various coagulation parameters directly from plasma samples.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Analytical Ground Truth: The ground truth for this device's performance is established by:
    • Comparison to a Legally Marketed Predicate Device: The performance of the new devices (STA R Max 3 and STA Compact Max 3) is compared directly to the established performance of their previous versions (STA R Max and STA Compact Max) using patient samples. This is the primary method for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    • Reference Methods (for HIL): For the HIL interferences, the device's readings were compared against "reference methods, cobas® 8000 modular analyzer (Hemolysis, Icterus, and Lipemia) and spectrophotometer (Lipemia)."
    • Theoretical/Expected Values (for HIL spiking): For HIL, "spiked plasmas were prepared" to provide known concentrations of interfering substances, and the results "matched the index determination for the subject devices and the theoretical index."
    • Repeated Measurements (for Precision): For precision, repeated measurements demonstrating low variability around a mean value for different samples serve as the internal "ground truth" for reproducibility.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable for this type of conventional IVD instrument. These are not AI/ML devices that undergo "training" on a data set. Their "training" or calibration involves standard laboratory procedures and calibration materials according to manufacturer protocols.

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

  • Not applicable. As stated above, there is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense for this traditional laboratory instrument.

4. Device Description / Test Principle

4.1.1. STA R Max 30 and STA Compact Max 30 Test Principle

The technological characteristics are the same for all STA R Max® Family and STA Compact Max® family analyzers, including STA R Max 30 and STA Compact Max 30, which is based on two measurement principles.

Chronometric measurement principle:

The principle consists of measuring the variation of the metal ball oscillation amplitude through inductive sensors. The ball has a pendula movement due to an alternating electromagnetic field generated by two independent drive coils and two curved rail tracks in the bottom of the cuvettes. The oscillation amplitude is constant when the viscosity of the reaction volume in the cuvette remains constant.

The oscillation amplitude decreases when the viscosity of the reaction volume in the cuvette increases. The amplitude of the oscillation ball is analyzed to determine coagulation time in the cuvette.

. Photometry measurement principle:

The principles consists of measuring the variation of absorbance (optical density, O.D.) of monochromatic light (405 nm or 540 nm) passing through a cuvette as an enzymatic or immunological reaction takes place.

The variation of absorbance is analyzed to determine enzymatic activity or quantification (by immune aggregation) of factors related to coagulation.

4.1.2. STA R Max 3® Device Description

Diagnostica Stago's STA R Max 30 analyzers are modified versions of the STA R Max® analyzer, originally cleared for marketing by the FDA under K151867 as an in-vitro diagnostic device.

The STA-R family of analyzers is composed of:

  • STAR® cleared in 1998: K983460
  • . STA-R Evolution® cleared in 2008: K082675
  • . STA-R Evolution® Expert Series cleared in 2009: K093001
  • . STA R Max® cleared in 2015: K151867

All these analyzers are fully automatic systems designed to perform tests on human plasmas and to study coagulation parameters.

Samples and test reagents are loaded into the instrument where sample handling, reagent delivery, analysis and reporting of results are performed automatically. A central processing unit controls the instrument such as, management of patient results, quality control, system supervision, support for instrument maintenance and workload optimization.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Stago. The logo consists of the word "Stago" in red, with a stylized graphic above it. The graphic appears to be two curved shapes, one red and one brown, arranged to suggest a drop or abstract form. The word "Stago" is in a bold, sans-serif font.

The analyzers use Diagnostica Stago reagents in addition to open adaptation of other available reagents. The instrument performs multiple test methodologies in random access, as selected by the user. These include clotting time or clot-based tests (i.e. chronometric measures) and photometric assays on plasma samples.

All the information on the analyzers, intended use and description, come from the instrument manual/labeling, which is the same for all STA R Max® family of analyzers (VOL_013, Labeling).

4.1.3. STA Compact Max 3® Device Description

Diagnostica Stago's STA Compact Max®3 analyzers are modified versions of the STA Compact Max® analyzer, originally cleared for marketing by the FDA under K130090 as an in-vitro diagnostic device.

The STA Compact® family of analyzers is composed of:

  • STA Compact cleared in 1996: K961579, K093167
  • STA Compact with Cap piercing Options cleared in 1996, with an add to file •
  • . STA Compact Max cleared in 2013: K130090

All these analyzers are fully automatic systems designed to perform tests on human plasmas, the results of which aid in the diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities or in monitoring anticoagulant therapy.

Once samples and test reagents are loaded onto the instrument, sample handling, reagent delivery, analysis and reporting of results are performed automatically. A central processing unit controls instrument functions, including management of patient's results, quality control, scheduling of instrument maintenance and workload organization.

The analyzers use Diagnostica Stago reagents in addition to open adaptation of other available reagents. The instrument performs multiple test methodologies in random access, as selected by the user. These include clotting time or clot-based tests (i.e. chronometric measures) and photometric assays on plasma samples.

All the information on the analyzers, intended use and description, come from the instrument manual/labeling, which is the same for all Compact Max® family of analyzers (VOL_013, Labeling).

4.1.4. Change to Control of Fluidic System and Addition of HIL Module

To facilitate in user maintenance and manufacturing process, the PSR module has been designed to replace the Hamilton syringes and Valcor pump of the fluidic circuit on all Diagnostica Stago analyzers.

The HIL module is a detection module developed to estimate interferences (Hemoglobin, Icterus, Lipemia) which may affect chromogenic and immune-turbidimetric tests. The analysis is performed before delivery in the cuvette and provides results of an index of interferences concentration to the biologist (display of the data on screen monitor). The plasma sample is not altered during HIL evaluation.

Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Method Comparison: STA R Max 3

Method comparison studies designed according to CLSI EP09c recommendations were conducted at three external sites.

Samples were selected in order to cover the entire measuring range of each assay and measured on both the predicate device (STA R Max) and subject device (STA R Max 3). Results were compared by either Passing & Bablok or Deming regression analysis based on the distribution. The following summary shows the results of this analysis without outliers across the analytical measuring range and targeted medical decision points per parameter.

HIL Interferences

Cross-interferences were assessed by spiking plasma with hemoglobin, bilirubin and lipids (Intralipid®) at various concentrations in order to provide combinations of HIL concentrations to assess HIL measurement sensitivity for each interfering substance in the presence of other interfering substances at various concentrations. Spiked plasmas were prepared and each interfering substance was represented by various concentrations distributed across the designated indices. Each spiked plasmas concentration was assayed in triplicate on two subject devices. All results obtained matched the index determination for the subject devices and the theoretical index.
