Intended Use

The microINR System measures prothrombin time (PT) expressed in International Normalized Ratio (INR), for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin.

The microINR System consists of a meter and chips (test strips) and uses fresh capillary whole blood from a fingerstick. The microINR System is intended for patient self-testing use as well as for healthcare professionals at Point of Care settings.

The microINR System is intended for use in patients 18 years old or older. Patients must be stable on warfarin medication for at least 6 weeks before starting to use the microINR System.

For self-testing use: The system is intended for properly trained users under specific prescription of a physician.

Caution: The microINR System is not intended for use in patients who are transitioning from heparin treatment to warfarin therapy. The microINR System is not intended to be used for screening purposes.

Device Description

The microINR System is comprised of a portable measuring device (microINR, microINR Link and microINR Expert meter) and test strips (microINR Chips) in which the capillary blood sample flows through capillary action.

The microINR Chip contains a reagent in dried form which consists of thromboplastin, and contains two symmetrical regions, the measuring channel and a control channel. The microINR meters measure International Normalized Ratio (INR) based on a Prothrombin Time (PT) assay carried out in the microINR Chip based on microfluidic technology with machine vision detection.

The microINR System has a multi-level On-board Quality Control. Multiple key functions and elements of the system are checked and if deviations are detected, error messages are displayed and test results are not reported.

AI/ML Overview

The microINR System measures prothrombin time (PT) expressed in International Normalized Ratio (INR) for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined "acceptance criteria" in terms of specific thresholds for slope, intercept, Pearson correlation, SD, or CV%. Instead, it presents the performance characteristics demonstrated by the studies. The comparison to predicate devices, and the conclusion of substantial equivalence, imply that these reported performance values were considered acceptable.

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Accuracy (microINR System vs. Lab Reference)Strong correlation (r ≈ 1), small bias (slope ≈ 1, intercept ≈ 0)N: 1016, Slope: 1.00, Intercept: 0.08, Pearson (r): 0.97
Accuracy (Self-testing patients vs. Lab Reference)Strong correlation (r ≈ 1), small bias (slope ≈ 1, intercept ≈ 0)N: 248, Slope: 0.95, Intercept: 0.13, Pearson (r): 0.97
Accuracy (Self-testing patients vs. HCPs using microINR System)Strong correlation (r ≈ 1), small bias (slope ≈ 1, intercept ≈ 0)N: 461, Slope: 0.99, Intercept: 0.02, Pearson (r): 0.98
Precision (INR < 2.0)Low variability (small SD, CV%)N test pairs: 131, Mean: 1.46, SD: 0.07, CV%: 4.9
Precision (2.0 ≤ INR < 4.5)Low variability (small SD, CV%)N test pairs: 337, Mean: 2.79, SD: 0.14, CV%: 5.0
Precision (INR ≥ 4.5)Low variability (small SD, CV%)N test pairs: 34, Mean: 5.30, SD: 0.26, CV%: 4.9
Precision (Trained PSTs)Low variability (small SD, CV%)N: 111, Mean: 2.63, SD: 0.13, CV%: 4.9
Precision (Untrained PSTs with high INR)Low variability (small SD, CV%)N: 13, Mean: 5.64, SD: 0.26, CV%: 4.6

Note: The "Acceptance Criteria (Implied)" are derived from the typical expectations for such medical devices and the fact that these results led to FDA clearance, indicating they met regulatory standards.

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

  • Accuracy Study (microINR System vs. Laboratory Reference Device):

    • N: 1016 microINR System results.
    • Data Provenance: Capillary blood samples from control subjects and patients recruited at ten clinical sites. This suggests a prospective collection from multiple geographical locations, though specific countries are not mentioned.
  • Accuracy Study (Self-testing patients vs. Laboratory Reference Device):

    • N: 248 INR test results obtained by self-testing patients (compared to laboratory systems).
    • Data Provenance: Collected at seven clinical sites. This also implies prospective data collection.
  • Accuracy Study (Self-testing patients vs. Healthcare Professionals using microINR System):

    • N: 461 INR test results.
    • Data Provenance: Collected at seven clinical sites, comparing self-testers to healthcare professionals. This is likely prospective.
  • Precision Study (microINR System):

    • N: Duplicate measurements from 502 control subjects and patients.
    • Data Provenance: Performed at ten clinical sites, suggesting prospective collection.
  • Precision Study (Trained PSTs):

    • N: Duplicate measurements from 111 patients ("Paired results").
    • Data Provenance: Performed at four clinical sites. Implies prospective collection.
  • Precision Study (Untrained PSTs with high INR values):

    • N: Duplicate measurements from 13 patients ("Paired results").
    • Data Provenance: Performed at three clinical sites. Implies prospective collection.

The general provenance is from multiple clinical sites, suggesting a diverse patient population, but specific countries are not detailed. All studies appear to be prospectively collected for the purpose of validating the device performance.

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

  • The document mentions comparisons to "laboratory systems ACL TOP 500 or ACL TOP 750" as reference methods. These are established laboratory analyzers.
  • For the "Accuracy of the microINR System by self-testing patients" study, the comparison also includes "Healthcare professionals (HCP) using the microINR System." While HCPs are involved, specific qualifications beyond their professional role are not detailed for the purpose of establishing a "ground truth" other than operating the device.
  • The ground truth for the clinical method comparison studies seems to be based on the results from the ACL TOP 500 or ACL TOP 750 laboratory systems, which are considered the gold standard for PT/INR measurement, rather than human experts adjudicating individual cases.
  • The document does not explicitly describe "experts" in the sense of radiologists reviewing images; rather, it refers to standardized laboratory methods and healthcare professionals. Therefore, the specific "number of experts" or their "qualifications" for establishing ground truth, beyond the inherent accuracy of the reference laboratory devices, is not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

No explicit adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is mentioned. Given that the ground truth appears to be established by comparison to highly accurate and standardized laboratory reference instruments (ACL TOP 500/750), a human adjudication process for individual test results is typically not required or described in such device submissions. The comparison is quantitative against these reference devices.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study, detailing how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance, was performed or presented. This device is a standalone diagnostic system (a meter and test strips) and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that aids human interpretation of complex medical images or data. The "readers" in this context are the device users (patients or healthcare professionals), and the study compares their results directly to a laboratory reference, or compares self-testers to healthcare professionals using the same device, rather than measuring an improvement in human diagnostic accuracy with an AI assist.

6. Standalone Performance

Yes, standalone performance was done. The entire set of performance characteristics, particularly the "Accuracy of the microINR System" (comparing the microINR System against a laboratory reference device) and "Precision of the microINR System," represents the standalone performance of the device without explicit human-in-the-loop interpretation beyond operating the device as intended. The system itself measures and displays the INR.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used is comparison to established laboratory reference methods, specifically ACL TOP 500 or ACL TOP 750 laboratory systems, which measure PT/INR from citrate venous plasma samples. This is a highly standardized and accepted method for determining INR.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide details on a specific "training set" for the device, as it is not an AI/machine learning model in the typical sense that requires a training and a separate test set. The changes implemented are "only SW changes... for increasing the INR measuring range... and the removal of the limitation for LVAD patients," implying a modification to an existing algorithm rather than a completely new, data-trained AI model. The studies presented are for validation of these changes.

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

As noted above, no specific "training set" is mentioned in the context of a machine learning model. The device's underlying principle relies on microfluidic technology and machine vision detection of a prothrombin time assay. The calibration of the chips is done against "International Reference Thromboplastin of the World Health Organization," which serves as a fundamental standard rather than a "ground truth" for a training set in data science terms.

7. STANDARD/GUIDANCE DOCUMENT REFERENCED:

No new standard/guidance documents used (previously submitted, reviewed and cleared under the premarket notifications for the microINR System K180780, K201185, K231711, K243543).

8. TEST PRINCIPLE

The microINR System has been cleared for self-testing and for professional use under different premarket notifications. The fundamental scientific technology and test principle of the modified device has not changed.

The microINR System is a handheld in vitro diagnostic medical device that uses microfluidic technology with machine vision detection to measure the prothrombin time from a fresh capillary (fingerstick) whole blood sample. The fresh capillary (fingerstick) whole blood sample is applied to the microINR Chips (test strips) for testing. The microINR Chip is inserted into the analyzer. Two microcapillary channels in the test strip are filled with the blood sample by capillary action. The microINR Chip contains a preparation of human recombinant tissue factor, synthetic phospholipids and stabilizers. The microINR meters (microINR, microINR Link and microINR Expert meters) measures the International Normalized Ratio (INR) based on the Prothrombin Time (PT)

Traditional 510k Page 3 of 7

assay carried out in the microINR Chip and displays the International Normalized Ratio (INR) on the screen.

9. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

The following characteristics have been previously submitted, reviewed and cleared under the premarket notification for the microINR System (K180780):

  • Reproducibility/Intermediate Precision
  • Linearity/Assay Reportable Range
  • Traceability (Calibration)
  • microINR® Chips Stability
  • Detection Limit (Factor Sensitivity)
  • Interfering Substances
  • Clinical Method Comparison Study *
  • Expected Values/Reference Range

These characteristics are not impacted by the changes implemented.

The use of the microINR System by self-testers was validated by an external user study that was conducted as the system is intended to be used. This study was submitted, reviewed and cleared under K201185.

  • An additional method comparison study with untrained self-testers with high INR values has been performed to demonstrate the correct performance of the system up to INR 8.0 even when it is used by untrained patients.

The performance characteristics potentially affected by the new population tested (accuracy and precision) were evaluated:

Accuracy of the microINR System

1016 microINR System results with capillary blood from control subjects and patients recruited at ten clinical sites were compared to the results obtained in citrate venous plasma samples in a laboratory system ACL TOP 500 or ACL TOP 750:

microINR System vs Laboratory Reference device

10. INSTRUMENT NAME

microINR meter, microINR Link meter and microINR Expert meter.

11. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The microINR System was previously cleared under premarket notification K180780, K201185, K231711 and K243543. The following characteristics remain the same:

11.1. Modes of Operation

The microINR System is a closed system, which is intended to be used exclusively with the microINR Chips manufactured by iLine Microsystems, S.L.

11.2. Software

The user interface of the microINR meters guides the user through the test procedure step by step. The user only needs to insert the Chip and apply a blood sample. The microINR System measures International Normalized Ratio (INR) based on a Prothrombin Time (PT) assay and displays the result. After the test is completed, the meter automatically saves the test result.

11.3. Specimen Sampling and Handling

The microINR Chip is intended for single-use only. Once the chip is inserted into the device, a drop of fresh capillary whole blood sample collected by fingerstick is manually applied to the Chip and analyzed by the microINR meter.

11.4. Calibration

Each lot of microINR Chips is calibrated to a reference lot of human recombinant thromboplastin traced to International Reference Thromboplastin of the World Health Organization.

These calibration parameters (International Sensitivity Index (ISI) and Mean Normal Prothrombin Time (MNPT)) are encoded in the printed Datamatrix of each microINR Chip along with information related to expiration date. Therefore, every test is automatically and individually calibrated eliminating any risk of human error.

11.5. Quality Control

The microINR System provides both meter´s functional Quality Controls and On-Board Quality Controls.

First, meter performance is automatically checked for electronic components, correct power battery level and environmental temperature conditions.

Page 11

Traditional 510k Page 6 of 7

Then, On-Board Controls provide a quality control check for each individual microINR Chip used with the microINR meters. microINR System has been designed to detect errors prior to and during the test in order to prevent inaccurate INR results through a multi-level strategy.

12. CONCLUSION

The microINR System with the microINR Chips and the meters (microINR, microINR Link and microINR Expert meters) were previously cleared for self-testing use and professional use in CLIA waived settings under premarket notifications K201185, K231711 and K243543 for patients with INR up to 4.5 and with the exclusion of LVAD patients. The microINR System for professional use was cleared under K180780 for patients with INR up to 6.0 without any LVAD exclusion.

This premarket notification is being submitted to obtain clearance for the microINR System for self-testing use and professional use in CLIA waived settings with patients with INR up to 8.0 and for LVAD patients.

Based on the comparative analysis, the intended use, principles of operation, performance characteristics and technological characteristics, the microINR System has a good performance along the whole measuring range (up to 8.0) and no interference is observed with LVAD patients. The changed device does not introduce any new significant risks or any new questions of safety and effectiveness and as such, it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
