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

  • Precision/Reproducibility: Patient pools were used.
    • For each mean AFP concentration value, 80 observations were made over 20 days.
    • Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The use of "patient pools" implies human samples, likely retrospective, created by combining individual patient samples.
  • Linearity: Not specified as a separate "test set" with a specific sample size, but established using the CLSI protocol EP06, which involves creating dilution series.
  • Detection Limits (LoB, LoD, LoQ): Not specified as a distinct "test set" sample size. Determined consistent with CLSI document EP17.
  • Analytical Specificity/Known Interferences: Not specified as a distinct "test set" sample size. Tested at two AFP concentrations (4.80 IU/mL and 19.2 IU/mL) with various interfering substances.
  • Cross-Reactivity: Not specified as a distinct "test set" sample size. Evaluated by adding specific substances to an AFP-free sample.
  • Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
    • Sample Size: 150 patient serum samples.
    • Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). The samples were "patient (serum) samples."

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

This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay for quantitative measurement of alpha-fetoprotein. The "ground truth" for such devices is typically established through reference methods and certified reference materials traceable to international standards, rather than expert consensus on individual cases.

  • Traceability: Calibration is traceable to in-house reference calibrators, which are calibrated against the First International Reference Preparation 72/225. This indicates a high-level, international standard for AFP measurement, providing the "ground truth" reference for the assays.
  • There were no experts used in the sense of clinical specialists establishing a diagnosis or outcome for the test data, as the study focuses on the analytical performance of the assay.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As an IVD device measuring a biomarker concentration, the "judgement" is determined by the analytical results against established reference materials and comparison to a predicate device, not by multi-expert review of clinical cases.


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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically relevant for interpretative diagnostic devices (e.g., imaging AI) where human readers make a diagnosis or assessment, and the AI assists or replaces that human interpretation. For a quantitative immunoassay like this AFP reagent pack, the performance is assessed analytically and by method comparison, not by reader performance.


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

Yes, the studies presented are standalone performance evaluations of the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP Reagent Pack and the VITROS 5600 Integrated system. The reported precision, linearity, detection limits, analytical specificity, cross-reactivity, and method comparison are all characteristics of the assay system itself, without human intervention in the result generation or interpretation beyond the standard operation of the instrument.


7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the analytical performance of this immunoassay is based on:

  • Reference Materials and International Standards: Calibration is traceable to the First International Reference Preparation 72/225. This is a highly characterized and internationally recognized standard for AFP.
  • Predicate Device Comparison: For accuracy, the device's performance was compared against a legally marketed predicate device (VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products AFP Reagent Pack K983031), which itself would have been validated against reference standards.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a "training set" in the context of a machine learning or AI algorithm. This device is a traditional immunoassay, not an AI/ML-based diagnostic. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm is not applicable here. Performance characteristics are established through analytical validation studies using various types of samples (patient pools, spiked samples, etc.).


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

As noted in point 8, the concept of a "training set" is not applicable for this traditional immunoassay device. The analytical "ground truth" is established using traceable reference materials and comparison to a predicate device, as described in point 7.

8.3. Test Principles:

An immunometric immunoassay technique is used. AFP present in the sample reacts with a biotinylated antibody (sheep anti-AFP) bound to streptavidin on a microwell. Unbound sample is removed by washing. In a second incubation a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)labeled antibody conjugate (mouse monoclonal anti-AFP) binds to the immobilized AFP. Unbound materials are removed by washing.

The bound HRP conjugate is measured by a luminescent reaction. A reagent containing luminogenic substrates (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 AFP present.

*Repeatability (formerly called within-run precision) was determined using two replicates per run.

** Within Lab precision was determined using a single reagent lot and a single ca libration.

b. Linearity/assay measuring range:

The linearity was established in accordance with the CLSI protocol EP06.

Linearity/Measuring Range

VITROS SystemMeasuring (Reportable) Range
56000.800–500 IU/mL

d. Dilution Recovery

Serum samples with concentrations greater than the measuring range may be diluted up to 4000-fold (1 part sample with 3999 parts diluent) with the VITROS High Sample Diluent A. Dilutions of up to 1:400 (1 part sample with 399 parts diluent) may be performed automatically on the VITROS 5600 Integrated System, using the VITROS High Sample Diluent A Reagent Pack.

e. Traceability:

Calibration of the VITROS AFP test is traceable to in-house reference calibrators which have been calibrated against the First International Reference Preparation 72/225.

{9}------------------------------------------------

f. Detection Limits:

The Limit of Detection (LoD) for the VITROS AFP test is 0.476 IU/mL (0.576 ng/mL), determined consistent with CLSI document EP17. The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the VITROS AFP test was determined to be 0.800 IU/mL (0.968 ng/mL) at 20% CV. The Limit of Blank (LOB) is 0.229 IU/mL.

g. Analytical Specificity:

Known Interferences

The VITROS AFP test was screened for interfering substances at AFP concentrations of approximately 4.80 IU/mL (5.81 ng/mL) and 19.2 IU/mL (23.2 ng/mL) following CLSI EP07 and EP37. Of the compounds tested, none were found to cause a bias of >10%. Refer to "Specificity" for a list of compounds that did not show interference.

Other Limitations

  • The results from this test should be used and interpreted only in the context of the overall clinical picture.
  • . Heterophile, as well as human anti-animal antibodies (most common being human antimouse antibodies or HAMA) in serum or plasma of certain individuals are known to cause interference with immunoassays. The anti-animal antibodies may be present in blood samples from individuals regularly exposed to animals or who have received preparations of mouse monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis or therapy. Results inconsistent with clinical observations indicate the need for additional testing.
  • For changes in tumor marker concentrations during therapy: ●
    • Progressive disease is defined by an increase of at least 25%. Sampling should be O repeated within two to four weeks for additional evidence.
    • Partial remission is defined as a decrease of at least 50% in the tumor marker o concentrations.
  • . Different test methods cannot be used interchangeably. A change to the test used during serial monitoring of a patient should be accompanied by additional sequential testing to confirm baseline concentrations. The results reported to the physician must include the identity of the AFP test used.
  • Certain drugs and clinical conditions are known to alter AFP concentrations in vivo. For . additional information, refer to one of the published summaries.

k. Conversion Factor Change

A study published in Clinica Chimica Acta 96 (1979) 59-65) established the correspondence between the international unit defining activity of the WHO standard ( I.U.) and the mass units as 1 I.U.= 1.21 ng of AFP (CI=1.02-1.43). The standard preparation has been investigated in two collaborative studies using several Reagent Pack methods, such as radioimmunoassay, single radial immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.1-2 Six laboratories estimated that one IU approximately equals 1.21 (1.02 - 1.43) nanograms of AFP1 .

For the Predicate VITROS AFP Reagent Pack AFP concentrations are quoted in IU/mL or ng/mL. Conversion between units is made using the formula: result in ng/mL= result in IU/mLx1.04.

Efforts to harmonize this conversion factor between manufacturers are ongoing and the National Cancer Institute is using the 1.21 conversion factor. The adoption of the 1.21 conversion factor aligns the modified VITROS AFP Reagent Pack to the other manufacturers already using the 1.21 conversion factor.

§ 866.6010 Tumor-associated antigen immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A tumor-associated antigen immunological test system is a device that consists of reagents used to qualitatively or quantitatively measure, by immunochemical techniques, tumor-associated antigens in serum, plasma, urine, or other body fluids. This device is intended as an aid in monitoring patients for disease progress or response to therapy or for the detection of recurrent or residual disease.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Tumor markers must comply with the following special controls: (1) A guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for the Submission of Tumor Associated Antigen Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) to FDA,” and (2) voluntary assay performance standards issued by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards.
