Device Description

The Access® Toxo IgM assay is a paramagnetic-particle chemiluminescent immunoassay for the qualitative detection of anti-Toxoplasma IgM in adult human serum, using the Access® Immunoassay System. The Access® Toxo IgM assay is presumptive for the diagnosis of acute, recent, or reactivated Toxoplasma gondii infections in males and pregnant or nonpregnant females. It is recommended this assay be performed in conjunction with an anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody assay.

AI/ML Overview

The acceptance criteria for the Beckman Instruments ACCESS® Toxo IgM assay and its reported performance are described below based on the provided document.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Sensitivity (vs. predicate)Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but the context implies substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Platelia® Toxo IgM.96%
Specificity (vs. predicate)Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but the context implies substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Platelia® Toxo IgM.99.7%
Resolved SensitivityNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion.96% (after discrepancy analysis)
Resolved SpecificityNot explicitly stated as a numerical criterion.99.7% (after discrepancy analysis)
Specificity (in prospective population with 1.25% prevalence)Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but relative to a consensus result in a specific population type.99.2%
Intra-assay Precision (CV)Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but typically <5% for good precision.<5%
Total Imprecision (CV)Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but typically <10% for good precision.<10%

The study concluded that the device is "substantially equivalent to the Platelia® Toxo IgM assay currently in commercial distribution." This implies that the observed performance metrics (sensitivity, specificity, precision) were deemed acceptable in comparison to the predicate device.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Sample Size: 822 patient serum samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the predicate device (Platelia® Toxo IgM Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur, Inc.) is noted as being from France. It is not specified if the samples themselves were from France or other regions, nor is it explicitly stated if the data was retrospective or prospective for the initial comparison. However, one specific performance metric is reported "In a prospective population with a prevalence of 1.25% (5/400)," indicating at least a portion of the data was prospective for that specific analysis.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document mentions "After discrepancy analysis" for resolved sensitivity and specificity. However, it does not specify the adjudication method used (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none). The "consensus result" is mentioned for the specificity in the prospective population, suggesting some form of expert agreement or a reference standard was used.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned. The study compares the performance of the ACCESS® Toxo IgM assay to a predicate device (Platelia® Toxo IgM assay), not the improvement of human readers with vs. without AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance

Yes, the study evaluated the standalone performance of the ACCESS® Toxo IgM assay by comparing its qualitative detection of anti-Toxoplasma IgM to a legally marketed predicate device (Platelia® Toxo IgM). The reported sensitivity, specificity, and precision values are measures of its standalone analytical performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth for the initial comparison was the performance of the predicate device, Platelia® Toxo IgM. In a specific prospective population analysis, "a consensus result" was used as the ground truth. This suggests a combination of a comparative reference (predicate device) and potentially expert consensus for certain analyses.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information on a separate training set or its sample size. The clinical studies mentioned describe the evaluation of the device's performance against a predicate and a consensus in patient samples, which typically corresponds to a validation or test set rather than a training set for an algorithm. This is a diagnostic assay, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a separate training set.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As there is no mention of a training set for an AI/ML algorithm (this is an immunoassay), this information is not applicable.

Non reactiveNon reactiveNo serological evidence of infection with Toxoplasma gondil.
Non reactiveEquivocalPossible early acute infection with no evidence of previous infection with Toxoplasmagondii. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20 days for determination of IgM and IgG antibodiesto Toxoplasma gondii. If results repeat, infection unlikely.
Non reactiveReactivePossible acute infection. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20 days for both IgG and IgMrepeat testing. If results repeat, send for confirmatory testing.
EquivocalNon reactiveIndeterminate. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20 days for both IgG and IgM repeattesting.
EquivocalEquivocalIndeterminate. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20 days for both IgG and IgM repeattesting.
EquivocalReactivePossible acute infection. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20 days for both IgG and IgMrepeat testing. If results repeat, send for confirmatory testing.
ReactiveNon reactivePresumptive for previous Toxoplasma gondii infection of greater than 12 months.
ReactiveEquivocalPresumptive for previous Toxoplasma gondii infection. Obtain a new specimen in 10-20days for both IgG and IgM repeat testing. If results repeat, send for confirmatory testing.
ReactiveReactivePresumptive for previous Toxoplasma gondii infection within the last 12 months. Obtain anew specimen in 10-20 days for both IgG and IgM repeat testing. If results repeat, sendfor confirmatory testing.

The predictive value of a positive test decreases. Interpretation of positive results in a low 1. risk patient population should be made with caution.

  1. Samples testing Equivocal or Reactive for anti-T. gondil IgM should be sent to a reference in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis for confirmatory testing.

  2. Toxo IgM test results should be used in conjunction with Toxo IgG results and Information available from the patient clinical evaluation.

LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE

    1. Toxo IgM test results should be used in conjunction with Toxo IgG results and information available from the patient clinical evaluation.
    1. The presence of anti-T.gondli IgM does not always indicate a recent Infection, because IgM can persist for many morths, or even for several years after infection. It is recognized that an IgM response may occur in secondary and reactivated infections.
  • ಗ The magnitude of the measured result, above the cutoff, is not indicative of the total amount of antibody present.
    1. Assay performance has not been established in newborns, in cord blood, or In mattices other than serum.
  • ર્ટ. If a collection is made too early at the beginning of a primary Infection specific antibodies of IgM class may be absent. To confirm a pimary infection, a second collection must be performed 10-20 days later and tested concurrently with the first specimen to look for seroconversion.

§ 866.3780

Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents.(a)
Identification. Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identifyToxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis caused by the parasitic protozoanToxoplasma gondii and provides epidemiological information on this disease. Congenital toxoplasmosis is characterized by lesions of the central nervous system, which if undetected and untreated may lead to brain defects, blindness, and death of an unborn fetus. The disease is characterized in children by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
