AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the ACCURUN™ 140 Rubella IgG Positive Control and its substantial equivalence determination, but it does not contain specific acceptance criteria or a study directly comparing reported device performance against numerical acceptance criteria in a table format.

The document focuses on:

  • Device description: Ingredients, storage, intended use.
  • Existing products and practices: States it's substantially equivalent to other commercial controls.
  • Summary of studies: Mentions stability studies (real-time, ambient temperature, heat stress, freeze-thaw, open vial) and clinical laboratory evaluations at BBI and two external labs.
  • Conclusions drawn from studies: Indicates the product is stable under various conditions and that "The clinical trial data demonstrate that ACCURUN™ 140 is safe and effective in three different laboratories with three manufactured ACCURUN™ 140 lots, and under various conditions of stress."

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance using the provided text. The document describes the types of studies conducted and their general conclusions but does not quantify performance metrics against pre-defined thresholds.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted or inferred from the document regarding the other points, along with what cannot be provided:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Not available in the provided text. The document states general conclusions about stability and effectiveness but does not present specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "stability must be maintained within X% for Y days") or quantitative device performance data against such criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample size for test set: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "clinical laboratory evaluations were performed at BBI and at two clinical laboratories" and that "three manufactured ACCURUN™ 140 lots" were used. It refers to "clinical trial data" but doesn't quantify the number of tests, specimens, or specific patient samples in these evaluations.
  • Data provenance: While the sponsor, Boston Biomedica, Inc., is based in West Bridgewater, MA, USA, the specific country of origin for the clinical evaluation data is not mentioned, other than being conducted at BBI and "two clinical laboratories" (location unspecified). The studies appear to be prospective for the purpose of demonstrating stability and performance for regulatory submission.

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

  • Not applicable/Not available. This device is a positive control, not a diagnostic device that interprets clinical findings. Its "ground truth" is its known positive status for Rubella IgG antibodies. Ground truth in the context of expert review for diagnostic interpretation isn't relevant here. The clinical evaluations would have assessed its consistency and performance in detecting Rubella IgG in test systems, not its ability to diagnose a patient.

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

  • Not applicable/Not available. As a control, adjudication of results in the traditional sense of resolving discrepancies in diagnoses is not relevant. The performance was likely assessed through consistency and expected reactivity in various Rubella IgG assays.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a control, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and "human readers improve with AI" are not relevant to this product.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a human-blood-based laboratory control, not an algorithm or AI device.

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

  • The "ground truth" for this positive control is its inherent positivity for Rubella IgG antibodies, manufactured from human serum or plasma containing these antibodies. This is established during its manufacturing and characterization rather than through expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the context of patient diagnosis. Its performance is then evaluated by testing its reactivity in Rubella IgG assays.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a biological control, not a machine learning or AI device that uses a "training set."

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

  • Not applicable. See point 8.

Existing products and practices 3.

Controls of the type represented by Boston Biomedica's ACCURUN™ 140 Rubella IgG Positive Control are relatively new in serology testing for infectious disease markers, but have been in routine use for years with clinical laboratory tests in chemistry and other immunoassay areas. ACCURUN™ 140 is substantially equivalent to other commercially available unassayed, single analyte and multi-analyte independent run controls.

4. Summary of studies

BBI performed five types of stability studies to support the labeling and storage conditions for ACCURUN™ 140 Rubella IgG Positive Control. These include real time, ambient temperature, heat stress, freeze-thaw and open vial stability studies.

In addition, clinical laboratory evaluations were performed at BBI and at two clinical laboratories. The data provided by these external laboratories were collected to evaluate the consistency and performance of ACCURUN™ 140 as an independent run control in situations where it is most likely to be used.

Conclusions drawn from studies 5.

We have performed extensive testing to determine the stability of ACCURUN™ 140 Rubella IgG Positive Control under various environmental and user conditions. The data suggest that ACCURUN™ 140 can be stored at 2-8°C in its vialed form and is not affected by multiple freeze-thaw cycles. ACCURUN™ 140 is stable at ambient temperatures and under heat stress for a short period of time with no adverse effects. ACCURUN™ 140 remains stable even after the vials have been repeatedly opened and stored at 2-8ºC for at least 60 days.

The clinical trial data demonstrate that ACCURUN™ 140 is safe and effective in three different laboratories with three manufactured ACCURUN™ 140 lots, and under various conditions of stress.
