AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance of the iFlash-HCG and Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) for the quantitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). However, it does not detail acceptance criteria in a structured table or specifically describe a "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of clinical performance against defined benchmarks with human experts, as would be typical for an AI/ML-based diagnostic device where acceptance criteria often relate to sensitivity, specificity, and agreement with ground truth.

Instead, the document focuses on detailed non-clinical performance studies demonstrating the analytical characteristics and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. Many of the listed studies (e.g., precision, detection capability, linearity, interference, analytical specificity, method comparison, stability, trueness, sample dilution, reference interval, carryover) are standard for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices.

Given the input, I will interpret "acceptance criteria" as the performance specifications demonstrated by the non-clinical studies and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as the results of these non-clinical studies. I will also clarify that this is not an AI/ML device per se, so the typical AI/ML study components (experts for ground truth, MRMC, standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable in their traditional sense.

Here's the information extracted and structured based on your request, with caveats where the information is not present or not applicable to an IVD device of this type:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As the document does not provide a pre-defined table of "acceptance criteria" in the sense of pass/fail thresholds for clinical performance but rather lists the results of various analytical performance studies, I will present the key performance parameters and their achieved values. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly met if the reported performance is deemed suitable for the intended use and demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

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

  • Test Set (for performance studies):

    • Precision: 9 levels of female serum samples and 2 levels of controls (total samples tested over 20 days: 9 samples * 2 runs * 2 replicates * 20 days * 3 lots * 3 analyzers = substantial, specific number of unique patients/samples not given).
    • Detection Limit (LoB): 5 analyte-free samples * 4 times/day * 3 days * 3 reagent lots (60 results per reagent lot).
    • Detection Limit (LoD): 5 low-concentration samples * 4 times/day * 3 days * 3 reagent lots (60 test results per reagent lot).
    • Detection Limit (LoQ): 5 samples near LoD * 4 times/day * 3 days * 3 reagent lots (60 test results per reagent lot).
    • Linearity: 11 different concentration levels of samples for each of 3 linearity intervals tested on 3 reagent lots.
    • Hook Effect: 3 high concentration samples and their serial dilutions.
    • Interference Study: Not specified, but likely involved multiple samples spiked with interferents.
    • Analytical Specificity: Not specified, but likely involved multiple samples spiked with cross-reactants.
    • Specimen Types Study: 97 female serum samples compared with plasma samples.
    • Method Comparison: 110 serum samples.
    • Trueness Study: Samples formulated from WHO International Standard (3 concentration levels).
    • Sample Dilution Fold Study: Samples prepared with HCG positive material (3 theoretical concentrations).
    • Reference Interval Study: Non-pregnant premenopausal women (N=130), Postmenopausal women (N=125).
    • Carryover Study: Test samples with high HCG in triplicate followed by low HCG in triplicate, for five runs.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the clinical samples used in these studies. It does indicate that the submitter is based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The studies are described as non-clinical performance studies, often implying controlled laboratory conditions rather than broad population-based data collection. All studies appear to be prospective as they are specifically conducted to evaluate device performance.

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

This is an IVD device for quantitative measurement of hCG, not an AI/ML medical image analysis or similar diagnostic device that typically relies on human expert interpretation for "ground truth." The ground truth for this device's performance is established by reference methods, certified reference materials (like WHO International Standard 5th WHO IS Chorionic Gonadotrophin 07/364), and comparison with legally marketed predicate devices. Therefore, the concept of "experts" establishing conventional ground truth as applied to AI/ML clinical studies is not applicable here.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As there are no human experts classifying or interpreting data for "ground truth" in the AI/ML sense, there is no adjudication method described or applicable. The determination of results is based on the chemical reaction and optical detection by the automated analyzer, with analytical results compared to established reference values or predicate device results.

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

An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic devices (often imaging-based or AI-assisted) where human reader performance is a key outcome. This document describes an automated IVD assay, not an imaging device or an AI assistance tool for human readers. Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done, and the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable.

6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study

This device is a standalone automated analyzer ("algorithm only" in the sense of the instrument performing the test independently). The entire suite of non-clinical performance studies (precision, detection limits, linearity, interference, method comparison, etc.) constitutes the demonstration of its standalone analytical performance. It does not require human-in-the-loop for its operation or result generation in the same way an AI diagnostic algorithm might.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the analytical validation of this IVD device is primarily based on:

  • Reference materials/standards: Notably, the WHO International Standard 5th WHO IS Chorionic Gonadotrophin 07/364 is used for trueness studies.
  • Spiked samples: Known concentrations of analytes or interferents are added to samples to confirm recovery and specificity.
  • Comparison to predicate devices: The results from the iFlash-HCG are compared against those from the cleared predicate devices (Elecsys HCG+β reagent and Cobas e 801 analyzer) to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
  • Consensus methods/protocols: CLSI guidelines (EP05-A3, EP17-A2, EP06 2nd Edition, EP07-A3, EP37 1st Edition, EP09c 3rd Edition, EP25-A, EP34 1st Edition, EP28-A3c, H26-A2) provide the "ground truth" for how studies should be designed and how performance metrics should be calculated and interpreted.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This document describes a conventional IVD assay and analyzer, not an AI/ML system that undergoes a distinct "training" phase with a large dataset. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm is not applicable in this context. The methodology relies on established chemical and physical principles, not machine learning from data.

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

As there is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense, this question is not applicable. The device's performance is inherently determined by its design specifications, reagents, and analytical principles, validated through the non-clinical studies.

  • Precision (Repeatability, Reproducibility) 3.1

The experiment is established according to CLSI EP05-A3 protocol, 3 different operators in 3 different laboratories use 3 lots of iFlash-HCG reagent and 3 Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) to conduct the study. For each lot of reagent, the same set of 9 levels of female serum samples with different HCG levels and 2 levels of controls are tested on 3 different Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). The samples and controls are tested with 2 runs per day (at least a two-hour separation between runs), 2 replicates per run for 20 days.

Repeatability and reproducibility precision (SD and CV%) were calculated according to EP05-A3.

  • 3.2 Detection Limit (LoB, LoD, LoQ)
    The LoB, LoD, and LoQ study are performed based on EP17-A2 using female serum samples.

LoB is the highest observed measurement value on analyte free samples for 3 lots of reagent kits on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). For each reagent lot, 5 analyte free samples are tested 4 times per day for 3 consecutive days to record 60 results. Calculation is based on EP17-A2 and LoB is determined to be LoB=0.10 mIU/mL.

LoD is the maximal value of the LoDs obtained for 3 reagent lots on one Chemiluminescence Immunoasay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). Each reagent lot tests 5 low-concentration samples (LoB-5LoB) four times a day for 3 consecutive days to obtain 60 test results and calculation are based on EP17-A2. LoD is determined to be LoD = 0.20 mIU/mL.

LoQ is the greatest LoQ across 3 reagent lots on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). Each reagent lot tests 5 samples with a concentration equal to or slightly greater than LoD, 4 times a day for 3 days in total, and record 60 test

results. Total error limit is set as ≤30% and calculation is carried out as per EP17-A2. LoQ is determined to be LoQ= 0.50 mIU/mL.

  • Linearity 3.3
    Linearity study is carried out in accordance with EP06 2nd Edition using female serum samples. Those claimed linearity interval (0.50 mIU/mL-10000.00 mIU/mL), low linearity interval (0.50 mIU/mL-1000.00 mIU/mL) and lower linearity interval (0.50 mIU/mL-100.00 mIU/mL) are studied on 3 reagent lots and on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). For each interval, 11 different concentration level of samples are obtained by mixing low level serum samples and high level serum samples and each concentration level is calculated for mean value, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV%) with predefined allowable deviation target from linearity as ±15%. Calculation is based on guideline EP06 2nd Edition and linearity is evaluated to be 0.50-10000.00 mIU/mL.

  • 3.4 Hook Effect
    3 high concentration samples (sample 1, 750,000 mIU/mL; sample 2, 1,000,000 mIU/mL and sample 3, 1.250.000 mIU/mL) were prepared by adding calibrator high-value positive material into low female serum samples (<0.10 mIU/mL) with subsequent serial dilutions to prepare multiple concentration gradient samples. High-concentration samples 1-3 and diluted samples are tested using 3 different lots of the reagent on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) with 3 replicates. The obtained results indicate no HOOK effect was observed within HCG/ß-HCG concentration of 1,250,000 mIU/mL.

  • 3.5 Interference Study
    Endogenous and exogenous interference study is carried out based on EP07-A3 and EP37 1st Edition using female serum samples. Interference screening testing considers the relative deviation dobs within ±10.0% to have no interference and dose effect test follows if interference exists for a specific substance.

Analytical Specificity (Cross-reactivity) 3.6

Cross-reactivity is carried out for potential cross-reactants LH, TSH and FSH using female serum samples based on EP07-A3. The iFlash-HCG is not susceptible to interference from the cross-reactants when evaluated at the levels presented in the table below:

Cross-ReactantConcentration
LH500 mIU/mL
FSH200 mIU/mL
TSH10000 mIU/mL

3.7 Specimen Types Study (Sample Matrix Comparison)

Values obtained from 97 female serum samples are compared with plasma samples using lithium heparin, sodium heparin and K2-EDTA from the same patient, on 3 reagent lots and one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C). For each reagent lot, paired serum and plasma samples are tested once and Passing-Bablok Regression analysis determines that claimed plasma samples are in good agreement with serum samples.

  • 3.8 Method Comparison with Predicate Device
    Method comparison is carried out between candidate devices and predicate devices as per EP09c 3rd Edition. 110 serum samples that cover 0.531mIU/mL- 9717mIU/mL (determined by predicate devices) are used during the study and Passing -Bablok regression provides the following regression equation, showing good consistency with the predicate: Y=0.986X-0.047

correlation coefficient T= 0.998

  • Trueness study 3.10
    The WHO International Standard 5th WHO IS Chorionic Gonadotrophin 07/364 is formulated into samples with concentration of 25.00 mIU/mL (low-concentration sample), 200.00 mIU/mL (middle-concentration sample) and 4000.00 mIU/mL (high-concentration sample) for testing, on 3 reagent lots and one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C)., with testing duplicates 3. For every sample under a reagent lot, relative deviation between the test result and corresponding target value falls within ±10.0%.

Sample Dilution Fold Study 3.11

Studies are performed with both female serum and plasma samples to determine the sample recovery after a 1:50, 1:100 and 1:200 dilutions are performed. 3 theoretical concentration samples at 12000.00 mIU/mL, 400000.00 mIU/mL and 800000.00 mIU/m are prepared by adding HCG positive material to HCG mixed low-value serum, plasma samples. Diluted samples at three dilution ratios are tested for 3 replicates with mean value calculated and multiplied by the dilution fold, which is recorded as the final concentration and compared with the theoretical concentration for relative deviation (within ±10%). Dilution study results support the claim that, samples with HCG concentrations above the measuring range 10000 mIU/mL can be diluted with the maximum dilution ratio 1:100 (either automatically by the analyzer or manually) .

  • 3.12 Reference Interval Study
    The reference interval study is performed in accordance CLSI EP28-A3c and obtained results are as follows:
GroupingNumber95th percentile (mIU/mL)
Non-pregnant premenopausalwomen (age:18-50 years old)1300.6
Postmenopausal women (age:≥50 years old)1255.4

3.13 Carryover study

Carryover study is performed in accordance with CLSI H26-A2. Test samples with high HCG (≥1,000,000 mIU/mL) in triplicate and followed by low HCG (≤5 mIU/mL) concentrations in triplicate (i.e. H1, H2, H3, L1, L2, L3 as a run) on one Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Model: iFlash 3000-C) for five runs with no carryover effect.
