Device Description

The product is a competitive binding enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for ß2 microglobulin.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and performance of the Quantikine™ IVD™ ß2 microglobulin enzyme immunoassay.

Here's the breakdown of the information requested:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). The nonclinical testing "centered on the performance attributes of accuracy, precision and stability." For precision, "10 replicates of three in-house controls" were used.


3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This is an immunoassay device, not an imaging or diagnostic device that typically relies on expert interpretation for ground truth. Therefore, the concept of "experts" establishing ground truth in the context of radiologists for imaging is not applicable here. The ground truth for this type of device would be based on established analytical methods and reference standards for calibrating the assay and determining analyte concentrations.


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

Not applicable for an immunoassay device. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies where human readers or interpreters are involved in determining ground truth or evaluating performance, such as in clinical trials or diagnostic imaging studies.


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 not applicable. The device is an immunoassay, a laboratory test for directly measuring a biomarker (β2 microglobulin). It does not involve human readers interpreting images or data that would be augmented by AI, nor is it an AI-powered diagnostic tool itself.


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

Yes, the performance described is a standalone performance of the immunoassay kit itself. As an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, its performance characteristics (accuracy, precision, sensitivity, stability) are determined by testing the kit's ability to measure β2 microglobulin concentrations directly, without human interpretation as part of its primary function beyond following the assay protocol. The "algorithm" here refers to the biochemical reactions and detection mechanism of the EIA.


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

For an immunoassay, the "ground truth" for analytical performance (accuracy, precision, sensitivity) would typically be established using:

  • Reference materials/standards: Known concentrations of β2 microglobulin used for calibration and validation.
  • Spiked samples: Samples with a known, added amount of analyte to assess recovery.
  • Established analytical methods: Comparison against a gold standard or a well-validated reference method.

The document does not explicitly detail the ground truth method but implies the use of "standards" (Standard 0 to 5) and "in-house controls," which are fundamental to establishing ground truth in immunoassay validation.


8. The sample size for the training set

The concept of a "training set" in the machine learning sense is not applicable to this traditional immunoassay. These devices are developed based on established biochemical principles (competitive binding immunoassay) rather than being "trained" on a dataset like an AI algorithm. Their performance is validated through analytical studies.


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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning model for this traditional immunoassay.

Device to which substantial equivalence is claimed:

Pharmacia's B2 Micro RIA currently being marketed by Pharmacia Diagnostics, Fairfield, N.J. 07006.

The product is a competitive binding enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for ß2 microglobulin.

It is intended for the quantitative determination of ß2 microglobulin concentration in human serum and urine as an aid in the diagnosis of active rheumatoid arthritis and kidney diseases.

R&D Systems' Quantikine IVD ß2-microglobulin enzyme immunoassay has an intended use that is similar to the predicate device. The technologies of the two devices are similar in that both are competitive binding based assays. They differ in the "reporter" moeity attached to assayed molecule. R&D System's assay is colorimetric and Pharmacia's is radiometric.

Nonclinical testing centered on the performance attributes of accuracy, precision and stability. In addition to demonstrating acceptable performance for the above attributes Quantikine IVD ß-microglobulin enzyme immunoassay passed the additional acceptance criteria that all parameters met their individual specifications. Those criteria are:

  • Signal generated by standard 0 to be greater than 1.5 absorbance units 1)
  • Signal generated by standard 5 to be less than 0.35 absorbance units 2)
  • Curve fitting individual replicates of Standard 1 to fit within ±15% of 3) nominal value and the Mean value of Standard 1 to fit within ±10% of nominal value. Individual replicates and Mean values of Standards 2 -5 to fit within ± 10% of nominal value.
  • In house control and kit control values to be within the ranges quoted on the 4) appropriate control data sheets.

  • Precision based on 10 replicates of three in-house controls, to be typically 6) less than 8%.
    All other performance parameters were similar to the predicate device. Expiration dating has been established as 26 weeks when stored at 2-8°C and handled according to instructions for use. Opened or diluted reagents are good for up to 4 weeks when stored at 2-8°C provided that this is within the expiration date.
