Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma is intended for use in a clinical laboratory for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity. Factor V activity in patient or control plasma is assayed by the amount of Prothrombin Time (PT) correction produced by the test plasma when mixed with Factor V deficient plasma. Results are compared to the degree of PT correction of a reference plasma with known Factor V activity. A pool of normal plasma is considered to vield 100% correction in the PT time, and has 100% of the normal Factor V concentration.

Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on the acceptance criteria and study data for the "Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma" device.
A significant limitation of this document is that it is a 510(k) summary from 1997, which means it pre-dates the modern standards for reporting clinical study details for medical devices, especially AI/ML-enabled devices. The focus here is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than strictly defining and proving acceptance criteria in the current sense. Therefore, certain requested information (like specific AI/ML study details, expert qualifications for ground truth, or MRMC studies) is not applicable or not provided in this type of document.
Device Name: Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma (Human, Dried)
Predicate Device: Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma (Human), K912679
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of a 510(k) (substantial equivalence), the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating comparable performance to the predicate device within acceptable laboratory variability. The specific numerical targets for "acceptance" are derived from the performance of the predicate device and general good laboratory practice for coagulation assays.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implicitly: Comparable to Predicate) | Reported Device Performance (Pacific Hemostasis) | Predicate Device Performance (Dade) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Curve Precision (Day-to-Day) | |||
| Mean Slope CV (%) | Comparable (e.g., within a reasonable percentage of predicate) | 0.83% | 2.42% |
| R² Range | ≥0.99 (high linearity) | 0.996-0.999 | 0.996-0.999 |
| Recovery of Factor V Activity (Day-to-Day Precision) | |||
| Normal Reference Plasma (%CV) | Comparable (e.g., ≤10% for typical lab values) | 4.5% (UCRP) | 5.6% (UCRP) |
| Abnormal Reference Plasma (%CV) | Comparable (e.g., ≤10% or clinically acceptable) | 3.5% (ACRP) | 4.8% (ACRP) |
| Low Abnormal Reference Plasma (%CV) | Comparable (with understanding of higher variability at low levels) | 6.7% (Level 1), 7.4% (Level 2), 12.5% (Level 3) | 5.6% (Level 1), 3.9% (Level 2), 4.0% (Level 3) |
| Correlation with Assigned FV Values | |||
| Slope | Close to 1.0 | 0.915 | 0.977 |
| R² (Correlation Coefficient) | Close to 1.0 (very high correlation) | 0.989 | 0.991 |
| Reconstituted Stability (8 hours @ 4°C) | |||
| Standard Curve Slope Change | Minimal change (e.g., <5%) | -0.278 (fresh) vs -0.284 (8-hr) | -0.245 (fresh) vs -0.246 (8-hr) |
| Standard Curve R² Change | Minimal change | 0.999 (fresh) vs 0.999 (8-hr) | 0.999 (fresh) vs 0.998 (8-hr) |
| FV Activity Recovery Change (Normal) | Minimal change (e.g., <5% difference) | -3.6% | -1.9% |
| FV Activity Recovery Change (Abnormal) | Minimal change (e.g., <5% difference) | 3.5% | 2.0% |
| Factor VII & X Activity | No decrease observed | No decrease (both PH and Dade) | No decrease (both PH and Dade) |
| Instrument Compatibility | |||
| Slope (vs. Dade on each instrument) | Close to 1.0 (range 0.917-1.196) | 0.917-1.196 | (Reference is Dade) |
| R² (vs. Dade on each instrument) | Close to 1.0 (range 0.992-0.999) | 0.992-0.999 | (Reference is Dade) |
| Overall Combined Instrument Data Slope | Close to 1.0 | 1.068 | (Reference is Dade) |
| Overall Combined Instrument Data R² | Close to 1.0 | 0.977 | (Reference is Dade) |
Note: The acceptance criteria are "implicitly" derived from demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to the predicate device, K912679. This means the new device's performance is expected to be comparable to or better than the predicate's performance within typical laboratory variability. The narrative specifically highlights cases like the higher CV for PH's Level 3 control not being "clinically significant" due to the very low FV activity level and its use for internal reference, indicating the clinical context for acceptance.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The "test set" here refers to the samples used to evaluate the performance of the new device relative to the predicate.
- Day-to-Day Precision Studies:
- Standard Curves:
n=10runs (on 10 different days) for each product (Pacific Hemostasis and Dade). - Factor V Activity Recovery:
n=10runs for each of the five reference plasmas tested with both products (Pacific Hemostasis and Dade). This totals 50 data points for PH and 50 for Dade for FV recovery.
- Standard Curves:
- Reconstituted Stability Study: "Several vials" of each brand were pooled for testing 8-hour stability. The comparison was between "freshly reconstituted" and "8-hour stored" plasmas, likely involving single or replicate runs for standard curves and reference plasma recovery at each time point.
- Instrument Compatibility Study: For each of the five instruments, standard curves were generated (likely
n=1) and Factor V activity was determined for the five different reference plasmas using both PH and Dade products. This implies 5 reference plasmas * 5 instruments * 2 products = 50 data points for FV recovery across instruments.
Data Provenance: The study appears to be prospective in nature, as it describes experiments conducted specifically for this submission (e.g., "Day-to-day precision studies were performed..."). The data is almost certainly domestic (USA), as the submitting company is based in Huntersville, NC, and the instruments mentioned (MLA®-1000C™, Amelung KC 4 ATM, BBL® Fibrometer, MLA®-700, and ACL-3000PLUS) are commonly used in US clinical laboratories. The document states these instruments "represent approximately 80% of the clinical analyzers currently used in this country."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This document is for a laboratory reagent; therefore, the concept of "ground truth" established by human experts (like radiologists) for a diagnostic image is not directly applicable.
- Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for the Factor V levels in the reference plasmas (UCRP, ACRP, Abnormal Factor V Controls) was their "assigned Factor V values." These values would have been established by the manufacturer (Pacific Hemostasis) using validated methods and reference materials, likely against an international standard or a well-characterized normal plasma pool.
- Experts: No external "experts" are explicitly mentioned for establishing the ground truth of these reference plasmas in the context of this 510(k) submission. The manufacturer is responsible for establishing these assigned values.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation of subjective results or disagreements between readers. Since this is a laboratory reagent assay, there is no "adjudication method" in the traditional sense. The data is quantitative and objective (e.g., %CV, slope, R² values). Methodological consistency (e.g., running on an automated coagulator like MLA®-1000C™ to minimize human error) and established laboratory protocols are used to ensure data quality and reliability.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, this is not applicable. An MRMC study is designed for evaluating human performance on diagnostic tasks, often involving image interpretation, with and without AI assistance. This submission describes the performance of a laboratory reagent, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and involves instrument-based measurements rather than human interpretation of cases. Therefore, there is no "AI assistance" component or human reader improvement effect to measure.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. The device is a laboratory reagent. Its performance is inherently "standalone" in the sense that it functions chemically in an assay, but it is always used within a human-operated laboratory workflow on an instrument. It is not an algorithm, so "algorithm-only" performance is not a relevant concept here. The data represents the performance of the reagent system in controlled laboratory settings.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used was "assigned Factor V values" of various reference plasmas (e.g., Universal Coagulation Reference Plasma (UCRP), Abnormal Coagulation Reference Plasma (ACRP), and Abnormal Factor V Controls). These assigned values represent the known or expected Factor V activity in these control materials, serving as a benchmark for accuracy and recovery.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This is not applicable/not provided. The device is a chemical reagent, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" of data. The manufacturing process and quality control methods ensure the product's characteristics, but it's not "trained" on data in the computational sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This is not applicable. As stated above, there is no "training set" for this type of device. The "ground truth" for the reference materials used in testing (as described in point 7) would have been established by the manufacturer through validated assays and traceability to recognized standards, but this is not a "training set ground truth."

Description of Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma:
Pacific Hemostasis (PH) Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma is a lyophilized preparation of fresh human plasma with added buffers. PH Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient plasma is intended for use in a clinical laboratory for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity. The product is prepared from pooled normal plasma depleted of factor V by immobilized, highly specific antibodies. The Factor V activity contained in the product is less than 1% of normal levels. All other coaqulation factors are within the normal range. The reconstitution volume is 1.0 mL (with deionized or distilled The product is available in packages containing 10 vials. The water). reconstituted plasma is stable for 8 hours when stored stoppered at 2-8°C. Each unit of source material used in the preparation of this product has been
{1}------------------------------------------------
tested by an FDA approved method and found non-reactive for HB Ag (Hepatitis B Surface antigen) and negative for antibodies to HIV and HCV. However, since no known test method can offer complete assurance that product derived from human blood will not transmit Hepatitis. AIDS, or other infectious diseases, this product should be handled as potentially infectious biological material.
Intended Use of Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma
Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient plasma is intended for use in a clinical laboratory for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity. Factor V activity in patient or control plasma is assayed by the amount of Prothrombin Time (PT) correction produced by the test plasma when mixed with Factor V deficient plasma. Results are compared to the degree of PT correction of a reference plasma with known Factor V activity. A pool of normal plasma is considered to vield 100% correction in the PT time, and has 100% of the normal Factor V concentration.
Summary of of Performance Data For Substantial Equivalence Comparisons
Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma was compared to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma (K912679). Both products are lyophilized preparations of human plasmas. The Factor V fevel in both is less than 1%; all other coagulation factors are within the normal range. The intended use for both products is identical; for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity in patient plasma.
Day-to-day precision studies were performed to assess the reproducibility of the Factor V standard curve prepared with the immunodepleted plasmas. One lot of Pacific Hemostasis (PH) Universal Coagulation Reference Plasma (UCRP, with known FV Activity) was used to generate the Factor V standard curves. PH Thromboplastin-D was used as the Prothrombin Time reagent, and PH Diluting Fluid (Barbital Buffered
{2}------------------------------------------------
Saline) was used as the diluent. All testing for the day-to-day precision studies was run on the MLA®-1000C™. This is an automated coagulation analyzer, thus minimizing imprecision introduced by human error (i.e. pipetting). Standard curves prepared with Pacific Hemostasis and Dade brand immunodepleted plasmas were run on 10 days. There was very little variation in the standard curves for both products as evidenced by the slope and R2 values obtained (range of R2 values was .996-.999). The following table summarizes the day-to-day standard curves obtained:
| PH Standard Curvesn=10 | Dade Standard Curvesn=10 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mean Slope | -0.285 | -0.245 |
| 1 SD | 0.002 | 0.006 |
| % CV | 0.83 | 2.42 |
Table 16. Summary of Standard Curve Data
To determine the precision of the standard curves prepared daily, the recovery of Factor V activity contained in five reference plasmas was determined. The reference plasmas chosen for analysis contain Factor V in the normal, abnormal and markedly abnormal range, they are: 1) a different lot of PH UCRP, 2) PH Abnormal Coagulation Reference Plasma (ACRP), 3-5) PH Abnormal Factor V Controls, Levels 1, 2 and 3. The following table is a summary of the results obtained:

{3}------------------------------------------------
The day-to-day recovery of Factor V activity (%CV) contained in four of the five reference plasmas was equivalent for both PH and Dade standard curves (curves prepared using either PH or Dade brand FV immunodepleted deficient plasmas). A slightly higher CV was obtained for the FV Abnormal Level 3 control using the PH immunodepleted plasmas (12.5% versus 4.0%). However, the imprecision observed at this level of Factor V activity is not clinically significant. The assigned Factor V value for this control is 5%, a value that is in the very low abnormal range, and below the normal cut off for both standard curves. This control was included in the analysis to determine the accuracy of extrapolated values at the low end of the range (for internal reference only). It is not recommended to report patient values that fall outside of the linear portion of the standard curve. To determine a patient Factor V value in this range (which is very rare), testing of a different sample dilution would be required. Alternatively, a standard curve representing Factor V activity in the low range could be generated.
The Factor V values obtained for the reference plasmas, using both immunodepleted plasmas. were compared to the assigned Factor V values. The assigned reference Factor V values were plotted against the recovered Factor V values using either PH or Dade brand immunodepleted FV plasmas. Linear regression was done and the slope of the line calculated. A slope of 1.0 with a correlation coefficient of 1.0 indicates exact recovery of Factor V values to the assigned reference values. The recovery of Factor V activity using both immunodepleted plasmas was quite good. The slope and R2 values obtained using Pacific Hemostasis brand substrate were 0.915 and 0.989, respectively; for Dade, 0.977 and 0.991, respectively.
The reconstituted stability claim for both PH and Dade brand immunodepleted Factor V deficient plasmas is 8 hours at 4°C. To evaluate the reconstituted stability, several vials of each brand of immunodepleted substrate were reconstituted, pooled and stored at 4℃ for 8 hours. Standard
{4}------------------------------------------------
curves were prepared utilizing the 8-hour stored plasmas and compared to freshly reconstituted immunodepleted plasmas. The standard curves obtained using fresh and aged plasmas were indistinguishable for both PH and Dade brand deficient substrates, as evidenced by the data in the following table:
| PH Standard Curve | Dade Standard Curve | |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh ID Plasma:SlopeR2 | -0.2780.999 | -0.2450.999 |
| 8-Hour ID Plasma:SlopeR2 | -0.2840.999 | -0.2460.998 |
ID = immunodepleted plasma
In addition, the recovery of Factor V activity contained in two reference plasmas (normal and abnormal) was determined using the fresh and 8-hour aged immunodepleted Factor V deficient substrates. The Factor V activity determined in the two reference plasmas was equivalent for both fresh and aged plasmas, supporting the 8-hour reconstituted stability claim. (With PH immunodepleted plasma, the FV value contained in the normal and abnormal reference plasmas changed -3.6% and 3.5% respectively, over the 8-hour time period. With Dade, the FV value contained in the normal and abnormal reference plasmas changed -1.9% and 2.0%, respectively, over the same time period.)
To further assess the reconstituted stability of the immunodepleted plasmas, a guantitative measurement of the Factor VII and Factor X levels contained in freshly reconstituted and 8-hour aged immunodepleted plasma was determined. Factor VII and Factor X were chosen for evaluation since the PT based Factor V assay will also detect deficiencies in both. There was no decrease in Factor VII and Factor X activity observed for both immunodepleted plasmas over the 8-hour incubation time period. These
{5}------------------------------------------------
combined data strongly support the reconstituted stability claim for Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma.
Last, the performance of PH and Dade brand immunodepleted Factor V deficient plasmas was evaluated on several different coaqulation analyzers. The instruments chosen for evaluation included two manual, one semiautomated and two fully automated coagulation instruments: the Amelung KC 4 ATM, BBL® Fibrometer, MLA®-700, MLA®-1000C™ and the ACL-3000PLUS These instruments represent approximately 80% of the clinical analyzers currently used in this country. All Factor V assays were performed following the instrument manufacturer's protocol. Standard curves were generated using both immunodepleted plasmas and the recovery of Factor V activity contained in the five different reference plasmas was determined.
For all instruments tested, the Factor V activity level recovered in the reference samples using PH immunodepleted plasma was equivalent to that obtained using the Dade product. The Factor V values recovered in the reference plasmas using PH substrate were plotted aqainst those obtained with Dade for each instrument analyzed. Linear regression was performed and the slope of the line calculated. Excellent correlation was obtained on all instruments, with the slope ranging from 0.917-1.196, and the R2 ranging from 0.992-0.999. When all instrument data was combined, linear regression vielded a slope of 1.068 and an R2 value of 0.977, suggesting equivalent performance for PH and Dade brand immunodepleted plasmas.
In summary, the indistinguishable intended use, technological characteristics and combined performance data support the substantial equivalence claim for Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma. Therefore based on the data provided, it is our conclusion that Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma is substantially equivalent to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma.
