Intended Use

For the in vitro quantitative determination of troponin T in human serum and plasma.
Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is generally based on the presence of at least two of three classic findings: clinical symptoms, diagnostic ECG, and serological findings of abnormal levels of total CK, LD or their isoenzymes. Often, due to the presence of clinical symptoms and changes in the ECG, the CK, CK-MB, LD and LD1 serve primarily to confirm and monitor the course of the infarction. At other times, when chest pain is atypical, or ECG changes are non-diagnostic or absent, these markers provide important diagnostic information. Limitations to these serum markers include a relatively narrow diagnostic window, difficulty in interpreting small increases and a lack of cardiac specificity. Troponin T can be an effective serum marker whose cardiac specificity and wide diagnostic window makes it a valuable tool in the diagnosis of AMI.2,4

Troponin T has been shown to be elevated in all patients with AMI who are diagnosed by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.1 Troponin T frequently appears in serum as early as one to three hours after the onset of pain.2,5 The sensitivity of troponin T reaches 100% within hours and remains at a high sensitivity level until day five. After 48 hours the CK-MB assay is frequently of little diagnostic value.1 Troponin T also remains elevated longer than total LD.3 Its levels can be measured for up to 14 days.5 Thus, the diagnostic window is broader due to the length of time troponin T is elevated in serum. The time interval of elevation in serum ranges from three hours to > 14 days.1,5
The specificity and sensitivity of troponin T measurements aid in both the early and late diagnosis of AMI. 6 Troponin T elevations have also been measured in patients with the clinical diagnosis of unstable angina due to the sensitivity of troponin T for detecting minor myocardial damage. In cases of AMI with minimal cardiac damage, low elevations of CK and CK-MB are difficult to interpret due to the presence of normal levels of these enzymes in the blood, and their lack of cardiac specificity. The specificity of troponin T to cardiac tissue is of value in these difficult patients. 4,6

Device Description

The Elecsys ® Troponin T test principle is based on a two step sandwich with streptavidin microparticles and electrochemiluminescence detection.

Total duration of assay: 9 minutes.
1st incubation: 15 ul of sample, a biotinylated monoclonal troponin T-specific antibody and a monoclonal troponin T-specific antibody labeled with a ruthenium complex react to form a sandwich complex
2nd incubation: after the addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles, the complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin
The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier
Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent bar code

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract the requested information about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than explicitly stating acceptance criteria and then proving the device meets them. Instead, it directly compares the performance characteristics of the new device (Elecsys Troponin T) with the predicate device (Cardiac T Troponin T Enzymun Test). Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the performance of the predicate device and the new device's ability to demonstrate comparable or superior performance.

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Precision: For each of the samples (CC1, CC2, HS1, HS2, HS3), N=60 measurements were taken for the Elecsys Troponin T. For the predicate device, for samples CC1, CC2, HS1, N=60 measurements each were also taken. The document does not specify the provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) of these samples.
  • Method Comparison: For the Elecsys Troponin T, N=54 samples were used for comparison against the Cardiac T Troponin T. For the predicate device, N=233 samples were used for comparison against the Cardiac T ELISA Troponin T. The provenance of these samples is not specified.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

This document describes an in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative determination of troponin T, which is a laboratory test. The "ground truth" for such a device is typically established through reference methods, certified standards, and clinical diagnosis criteria (e.g., WHO criteria for AMI). It does not involve human expert interpretation of images or other subjective assessments that would require a panel of experts in the way medical imaging devices sometimes do. Therefore, this information is not applicable in the context of this device and study description.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

As this is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic device, the concept of "adjudication method" as typically used for subjective diagnostic assessments (like image interpretation) is not directly applicable. The data presented are objective measurements of chemical concentrations and statistical analyses of those measurements.

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:

No. This is an in vitro diagnostic test for blood analysis, not an imaging device or AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers interpreting cases. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not relevant to this device.

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

The Elecsys Troponin T is a standalone automated in vitro diagnostic assay. The performance characteristics described (precision, sensitivity, assay range, method comparison, interference, specificity) represent the performance of the algorithm/instrument system itself without direct human-in-the-loop performance affecting the measurement process. Human interpretation would come after the quantitative result is generated by the machine, in the context of clinical diagnosis.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for the performance characteristics described relies on:

  • Reference materials/serum pools: For precision and sensitivity, the values (e.g., 0.103 ng/ml for CC1) represent the concentration within specific control or human serum samples. These concentrations would have been established using highly accurate reference methods or certified standards.
  • Predicate device/Reference assay: For method comparison, the "ground truth" for comparison is the results obtained from the predicate device (Cardiac T Troponin T Enzymun Test) or another established assay (Cardiac T ELISA Troponin T). This assesses the new device's agreement with existing, accepted methods.
  • Known concentrations of interfering substances: For interference studies, substances were added at known concentrations to assess their impact.
  • Known concentrations of related proteins: For specificity, known concentrations of related troponins or other cardiac proteins were tested to determine cross-reactivity.

8. The sample size for the training set:

The document does not specify a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning, as this is an immunoassay system. It describes the analytical performance of the device. The "calibration" refers to the instrument's calibration using specific calibrator solutions (2-point calibration and master curve via reagent bar code), which is part of setting up the analytical process, not a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

As noted in point 8, the concept of a "training set" in the AI sense is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the instrument's calibration is established through:

  • Calibrator solutions: These are solutions with known, pre-defined concentrations of troponin T supplied by the manufacturer (Boehringer Mannheim).
  • Master curve: This curve, provided via the reagent bar code, establishes the relationship between the signal detected by the instrument and the concentration of troponin T. This master curve would have been developed by the manufacturer using a comprehensive set of reference materials and validated methods.
