AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the Hipro® Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria values for most tests. Instead, it describes performing studies and concluding whether "All acceptance criteria were met" or providing summary statistics. For the purpose of this table, I will infer relevant criteria based on common industry standards for diagnostic devices and the structure of the reported results. For Method Comparison, Total Error, and Linearity, the reported results are directly in line with typical performance metrics. For Interference and Hemoglobin Variants, "met acceptance criteria" and specific thresholds are mentioned.

Drug Interference (Deviation)>7% deviation from reference value considered significant interference.All 16 commonly used drugs tested showed no significant interference.
Cross-reactivityNot explicitly stated. Implied no significant cross-reactivity.Studies performed for Hb A0, Labile Hb A1c, Carbamylated Hb, Acetylated Hb, Glycated Albumin, Hb A1a+b. Results not detailed, but implied acceptance.
Hemoglobin Variants (Interference)Not explicitly stated. Implied to be minimal or within acceptable clinical limits. Interference with HbF > 8% was observed.Average bias for HbC: -0.17 at ~6.5% HbA1c, 2.27 at ~9.0% HbA1c. Average bias for HbD: 1.67 at ~6.5% HbA1c, 2.10 at ~9.0% HbA1c. Average bias for HbE: 1.58 at ~6.5% HbA1c, 1.38 at ~9.0% HbA1c. Interference was observed when the concentration of HbF is > 8%. Average bias for HbS: 1.69 at ~6.5% HbA1c, 1.20 at ~9.0% HbA1c. Average bias for HbA2: 1.57 at ~6.5% HbA1c, -0.51 at ~9.0% HbA1c.

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

  • Precision: Four EDTA K2 whole blood samples with targeted HbA1c concentrations (5.2%, 6.4%, 8.0% and 12.3%) and two controls (6% and 11%). Each sample was analyzed in duplicate per run, two runs per day for 20 days on three analyzers (total of 240 measurements per sample/control).
  • Method Comparison: One hundred and twenty (120) samples.
  • Linearity: One dilution series consisting of 9 levels. Each level measured in triplicate.
  • Endogenous Interference: Pooled whole blood samples with two HbA1c levels, spiked with 5 interferents (10 spiked samples), and one unspiked pool. A 10-level dilution series was created for each. Tested ten-fold.
  • Drug Interference: Native patient samples at 2 different HbA1c levels, spiked with 16 drugs at two defined concentrations. Measured ten-fold.
  • Hemoglobin Variants: 20 samples for each variant (HbC, HbD, HbE, HbF, HbS, HbA2) for a total of 120 samples. Each sample was tested twice.

Data Provenance:

  • Method Comparison: The 120 samples were obtained from the NGSP reference laboratory.
  • General: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether samples were retrospective or prospective, but the reliance on the NGSP reference laboratory suggests a standardized, potentially retrospective, approach for the method comparison component. The use of "native patient samples" for drug interference suggests clinical sources.

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

The establishment of ground truth is primarily through a traceable reference method and a standardization program.

  • Method Comparison: The test system was compared against the Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System which was certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP). The NGSP is a program that standardizes HbA1c results to align with the results of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). This implies that the 'ground truth' is established by the NGSP's reference methods and processes, rather than individual experts adjudicating each case. The document specifies that the NGSP reference laboratory measured the "X axis" samples.

The document does not specify a number of "experts" in the traditional sense of clinicians or radiologists adjudicating individual cases.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. This is not a study requiring human adjudication of imaging or clinical cases. The "ground truth" is established by a reference laboratory measurement (NGSP Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System) for chemical analysis.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test system for quantitative determination of HbA1c, not a diagnostic imaging or AI-assisted interpretation device that involves human readers.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Yes, the studies described are standalone performance evaluations of the Hipro® Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System (the automatic immunoassay analyzer and test kit) without human intervention in the measurement process. The system quantifies HbA1c levels directly.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Reference Method: For method comparison, the ground truth was established by the NGSP (National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System. The device is certified with NGSP.
  • Reference Materials: For precision, linearity, interference, and hemoglobin variant studies, the ground truth for HbA1c concentrations was established using characterized samples (e.g., targeted HbA1c concentrations, spiked samples, varying hemoglobin variant concentrations) which would derive their values from established reference methods or known preparations.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a separate "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm that is trained. This device is a chemical assay system, not an AI/ML-based diagnostic. The described studies are all for performance evaluation (test set) of the final device.

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

Not applicable, as there is no specific "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm mentioned for this device.

7.2 Method Comparison

A method comparison study was performed to compare the sample results from the candidate method, Hipro® Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test kit on the Hipro HP-AFS/1 Automatic Immunoassay analyzer, to results from the Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System. This study was conducted with the EDTA K2 whole blood samples.

One hundred and twenty (120) samples from the NGSP reference laboratory were used in the evaluation. These samples were measured by the NGSP reference laboratory using a Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System (X axis) and by the Hipro® Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System (Y axis).

All acceptance criteria for method comparison were met. The difference plots show there is good agreement between the Hipro® Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA 1c) Test System and the NGSP Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System.

The table below summarizes the bias between the Hipro Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System and the NGSP's Bio-Rad Hemoglobin Testing System.

7.3 Total Error

Using the results of bias estimation (%Bias) in the method comparison study and precision estimates in the precision study, the Total Error (TE) at the following concentrations (5.2%, 6.4%, 8.0% and 12.3%) near the cut-off was calculated as follows:

%TE =|%Bias| + 1.96 * %CV * (1+%Bias/100)

The results are presented in the tables below.

7.4 Linearity

One dilution series consisting of 9 levels were prepared using the EDTA K2 WB sample pools with HbA1c through mixing high and low concentrations at the upper and lower end of the measuring range. Samples were measured in triplicate and data analysis was done separately for each sample. Linear regression analysis was done according to EP6-2nd edition. Study result is provided in the table below.

7.5 Endogenous Interference

A study evaluated several endogenous substances for potential interference with the measure of % HbA1c. The following five endogenous substances were evaluated:

Pooled whole blood samples with two HbA1c levels, one near the medical decision level and one above it, were spiked with the maximum level of the above five interferents in separate preparations resulting in 10 spiked samples. Another pool, without interferent, was equally prepared. A 10-level dilution series was then created for each of the 10 spiked samples by using the interferent free pool as the diluting reagent.

The experiment was performed with one reagent lot, one Hipro HP-AFS/1 Automatic Immunoassay analyzer, and in a single run from the same calibration. The ten dilution series were

tested ten-fold for % HbA1c using the EDTA K2 WB sample only.

The mean of the ten replicates was determined and compared to the result from the reference sample (no interfering substance). The comparison was evaluated as a percent deviation. An interferent will be significant if it causes >7% deviation of a measurement in terms of % HbA1c.

{12}------------------------------------------------

The 16 commonly used drugs listed above were added to native patient samples and examined for potential effect on % HbA1c determination. Drug interference testing was performed with EDTA K2 WB samples at 2 different HbA1c levels. The two different HbA1c concentrations will be approximately 6.5% and 8.5% HbA1c. Each drug was added in two defined concentrations with concentration 1 being several times (typically 5 times) the maximum daily dosage and concentration 2 being the maximum daily dosage level. Samples were measured in ten-fold using the Hipro® Glycosvlated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System. The median value was compared to the reference value (HbA1c sample with no drug added) and the deviation from the reference was calculated.

Significant interference is defined as > ±7% deviation from the reference value observed. All acceptance criteria for drug interferences were met.

7.9 Cross-reactivity

Studies were performed to determine if the Hipro® Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c) test kit demonstrates cross-reactivity with any of the following hemoglobin fractions and glycated albumin.

Hb A0Carbamylated HbGlycated Albumin
Labile Hb A1cAcetylated HbHb A1a+b

7.10 Hemoglobin variants

Hemoglobin variant testing was conducted to determine if there was any significant interference with any of the major hemoglobin variants and the Hipro® Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA I c) test kit. Hemoglobin variants are structurally altered hemoglobin molecules with at least one amino acid exchange compared to the normal beta chain of hemoglobin. These changes are caused by mutations in the coding region of the globin genes which encode the protein part of hemoglobin. The most common hemoglobin variants are HbS, HbC, HbD and HbE. Moreover, in some conditions, the fetal hemoglobin HbF is elevated. Also, the erythrocytes of some patients (e.g. beta thalassemia minor) contain elevated levels of HbA2. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure accurate HbA1c results from patients who are carriers of these variants.

  1. Conclusions Drawn from Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests

The Hipro® Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Test System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device Bio-Rad D-100™ HbA1c (K151321).

§ 862.1373 Hemoglobin A1c test system.

(a)
Identification. A hemoglobin A1c test system is a device used to measure the percentage concentration of hemoglobin A1c in blood. Measurement of hemoglobin A1c is used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and as an aid in the identification of patients at risk for developing diabetes mellitus.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device must have initial and annual standardization verification by a certifying glycohemoglobin standardization organization deemed acceptable by FDA.
(2) The premarket notification submission must include performance testing to evaluate precision, accuracy, linearity, and interference, including the following:
(i) Performance testing of device precision must, at a minimum, use blood samples with concentrations near 5.0 percent, 6.5 percent, 8.0 percent, and 12 percent hemoglobin A1c. This testing must evaluate precision over a minimum of 20 days using at least three lots of the device and three instruments, as applicable.
(ii) Performance testing of device accuracy must include a minimum of 120 blood samples that span the measuring interval of the device and compare results of the new device to results of a standardized test method. Results must demonstrate little or no bias versus the standardized method.
(iii) Total error of the new device must be evaluated using single measurements by the new device compared to results of the standardized test method, and this evaluation must demonstrate a total error less than or equal to 6 percent.
(iv) Performance testing must demonstrate that there is little to no interference from common hemoglobin variants, including Hemoglobin C, Hemoglobin D, Hemoglobin E, Hemoglobin A2, and Hemoglobin S.
(3) When assay interference from Hemoglobin F or interference with other hemoglobin variants with low frequency in the population is observed, a warning statement must be placed in a black box and must appear in all labeling material for these devices describing the interference and any affected populations.
