No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay for measuring a biomarker and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay used for quantitative measurement of CA 15-3 values to aid in the management of breast cancer patients, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as an "assay" for "quantitative measurement" of CA 15-3 values to "aid in the management of breast cancer patients," which clearly indicates its use for diagnosis and monitoring of a disease. It also mentions "serial testing" to be "used in conjunction with other clinical methods for monitoring breast cancer."

No

The device description clearly states it is a microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) for use on the AxSYM System, which is a laboratory instrument. This indicates it is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay that requires specific hardware (the AxSYM System) to function, not a standalone software application.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "quantitative measurement of CA 15-3 assay values in human serum and plasma (EDTA)". This indicates it's used to analyze biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "microparticle enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of CA 15-3 assay values in human serum and EDTA plasma". This further reinforces its use in analyzing biological fluids.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The "Not Applicable (In vitro diagnostic assay)" entry directly identifies it as an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The "Not Applicable (In vitro diagnostic assay)" entry also indicates it's an IVD.

The core function of the device is to perform a test on biological samples (serum and plasma) to obtain a quantitative measurement of a specific marker (CA 15-3) to aid in the management of a disease (breast cancer). This is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A linear regression analysis between these two assays, using 560 specimens with AxSYM CA 15-3 assay values ranging from 4.0 to 248.7 U/mL, yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.888, slope of 0.67, and y-intercept of 4.2 U/mL.
Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analyses on 160 apparently healthy females plus 30 benign breast patients vs. 228 malignant breast patients gave essentially equivalent areas under the curve of 0.69 for AxSYM CA 15-3 and 0.70 for TRUQUANT BR RIA.
Seventy nine stage II and stage III breast cancer patients were evaluated in a blinded study using the AxSYM CA 15-3 assay and the TRUQUANT BR RIA. 359 specimens from 77 of the evaluable patients gave a concordance (agreement) between the two assays of 91% at their respective reference values.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A linear regression analysis between these two assays, using 560 specimens with AxSYM CA 15-3 assay values ranging from 4.0 to 248.7 U/mL, yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.888, slope of 0.67, and y-intercept of 4.2 U/mL. The dynamic range of AxSYM CA 15-3 is 0 - 250 U/mL with an analytical sensitivity of 0.3 U/mL. The dynamic range of TRUQUANT BR RIA is 0 - 200 U/mL with an analytical sensitivity of 7.0 U/mL. Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analyses on 160 apparently healthy females plus 30 benign breast patients vs. 228 malignant breast patients gave essentially equivalent areas under the curve of 0.69 for AxSYM CA 15-3 and 0.70 for TRUQUANT BR RIA. Serial tracking data on 24 malignant breast patients showed comparable trending results for both assays.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

At the claimed reference values for the assays (31.3 U/mL for AxSYM CA 15-3 and 37.7 U/mL for TRUQUANT BR RIA), when using values obtained within 6 months of relapse, similar sensitivities of 54% (95% CI=25-81) and 62% (95% CI=32-86) and specificities of 94% (95% CI=85-99) and 91% (95% CI=80-97) were obtained for AxSYM CA 15-3 and TRUQUANT BR RIA, respectively.

510(k) SUMMARY AxSYM®CA 15-3™

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION SUPPORTING A SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT DETERMINATION

The following information as presented in the Premarket Notification [510(k)] for AxSYM CA 15-3 constitutes data supporting a substantially equivalent determination.

AxSYM CA 15-3 is a microparticle enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative measurement of CA 15-3 assay values in human serum and EDTA plasma on the AxSYM System. AxSYM CA 15-3 employs Abbott Calibrators and Controls.

Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated between the Abbott AxSYM® CA 15-3" assay and the BIOMIRA Diagnostics Inc. TRUQUANT® BR™ RIA assays are intended to be used as an aid in the management of stage II and stage III breast cancer patients. A linear regression analysis between these two assays, using 560 specimens with AxSYM CA 15-3 assay values ranging from 4.0 to 248.7 U/mL, yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.888, slope of 0.67, and y-intercept of 4.2 U/mL. The dynamic range of AxSYM CA 15-3 is 0 - 250 U/mL with an analytical sensitivity of 0.3 U/mL. The dynamic range of TRUQUANT BR RIA is 0 - 200 U/mL with an analytical sensitivity of 7.0 U/mL. Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) analyses on 160 apparently healthy females plus 30 benign breast patients vs. 228 malignant breast patients gave essentially equivalent areas under the curve of 0.69 for AxSYM CA 15-3 and 0.70 for TRUQUANT BR RIA. Serial tracking data on 24 malignant breast patients showed comparable trending results for both assays.

Seventy nine stage II and stage III breast cancer patients were evaluated in a blinded study using the AxSYM CA 15-3 assay and the TRUQUANT BR RIA. 359 specimens from 77 of the evaluable patients gave a concordance (agreement) between the two assays of 91% at their respective reference values. At the claimed reference values for the assays (31.3 U/mL for AxSYM CA 15-3 and 37.7 U/mL for TRUQUANT BR RIA), when using values obtained within 6 months of relapse, similar sensitivities of 54% (95% CI=25-81) and 62% (95% CI=32-86) and specificities of 94% (95% CI=85-99) and 91% (95% CI=80-97) were obtained for AxSYM CA 15-3 and TRUQUANT BR RIA, respectively.

In conclusion, these data demonstrate that the Abbott AxSYM CA 15-3 assay is as safe and effective as, and is substantially equivalent to the BIOMIRA Diagnostics Inc. TRUQUANT BR RIA assay.
