AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details based on the provided text, using the requested formatting:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria, but it establishes substantial equivalence by comparing the subject device's performance to a predicate device. The final reported performance after integrating a referee method is presented as the basis for this equivalence. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the reported performance that led to the FDA's substantial equivalence determination.

MetricPredicate Device (NOVA Lite™ ANCA) PerformanceSubject Device (Immuno Concepts ANCA) PerformanceImplied Acceptance Criteria (relative to predicate)
Relative sensitivity86.9%98.3%Superior or equivalent to predicate
Relative specificity93.1%97.7%Superior or equivalent to predicate
Overall agreement91.0%98.0%Superior or equivalent to predicate

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The study was conducted using retrospective serum samples.

  • Normal Blood Donors: 497 samples (247 males, 250 females). Data provenance is not explicitly stated but implies collection from a general donor population.
  • Previously ANCA-Positive Samples: 383 samples. Data provenance: Reference laboratories in the USA, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set. It mentions "in-house IFA assays" from reference laboratories in the USA, UK, and Australia for the previously positive samples, and the use of "referee method" (ELISA kits for MPO and PR3 antibodies) for discrepant and positive samples.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The adjudication method involved a "referee method" using ELISA kits for MPO and PR3 antibodies for samples that were:

  • Positive by either the subject device or predicate device in the normal blood donor group.
  • Discrepant between the subject device and the predicate device in the ANCA-positive sample group.

This can be considered a tertiary adjudication where an independent, more specific test is used to resolve discrepancies and confirm positivity/negativity. It's not a consensus method among human readers, but a higher-tier diagnostic test.

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

This information is not applicable as the device is an in vitro diagnostic test system (indirect fluorescent antibody test) for detecting antibodies in human serum, not an AI-based imaging or diagnostic aid for human readers. No human interpretation improvement with AI is mentioned or relevant to this type of device.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, the study describes the standalone performance of the Immuno Concepts ANCA Test System directly compared to the NOVA Lite™ ANCA predicate device. This is a "device only" performance assessment where the output is directly read and compared.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth was established using:

  • A "referee method" based on specific antibody detection: ELISA kits for MPO (myeloperoxidase) and PR3 (proteinase 3) antibodies were used to confirm specific ANCA types in initially positive or discrepant samples. The results from these specific ELISA tests were used to reclassify samples as true positive or true negative for the final analysis.
  • For the "previously determined to be positive for ANCA" samples, reference laboratory IFA assay results served as an initial ground truth, which was then further adjudicated by the ELISA referee method.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a training set as this is an in vitro diagnostic kit, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires training. The provided data represents a validation/verification study.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no training set is mentioned or applicable, this question is not relevant to the provided document.

  • Trade Name Immuno Concepts Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Test System with Formalin Fixed Human Neutrophils
  • · Common Name Immuno Concepts ANCA Test System with Formalin Fixed Human Neutrophils
  • · Classification Name Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (21 CFR 866.5660)

Legally marketed device with which this device has been shown to be equivalent: NOVA Lite™ ANCA, INOVA Diagnostics, San Diego, CA, K961340

Description:

This is an indirect fluorescent antibody test for the semi-quantitative detection of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody in human serum

Intended Use:

This test system is for in vitro diagnostic use for the detection in antibody in
human serum. This test system is to be used as a aid in the sescotated with glomerulonephritis.

Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device: Both the predicate device and this device are fluorescent antibody tests for the detection of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody in human serum.

Description of Laboratory Data That Indicate Substantial Equivalence: Serum Samples Obtained from Normal Blood Donors

Serum samples from 497 blood donors (247 males and 250 females) were tested using the subject device and the predicate device. The results of this comparison are shown in the following Table:

Predicate Device
PositiveNegative
Immuno Concepts ANCAPositive59
Negative37446

The relatively high number of ANCA positive samples in these otherwise normal individuals was troubling, so we tested all positive sera for antibodies to MPO and PR3 using ELISA kits obtained from elias usa, inc. Among the IFA positive samples, none were found to be positive for MPO or PR3 antibodies. The samples that were IFA positive on both the predicate device and the subject device were considered true positives for the comparison of the IFA kits. The remaining samples were considered to be false positives on the respective assays. Thus, when the referee method is taken into account, the comparisons look like this:

Reference Method
PositiveNegative
Positive59
Immuno Concepts ANCANegative0483

Serum Samples Previously Determined to be Positive for ANCA by Indirect Immunofluorescence

Serum samples which had been judged to be positive for ANCA using in-house IFA assays were obtained from reference laboratories in the USA, the United Kingdom, and Australia. A total of 383 sera, which we expected to be positive for ANCA, were examined in this part of the study. These samples were tested on the predicate device and the subject device with the following results:

Predicate Device
PositivePositiveNegative
Immuno Concepts ANCAPositive25043+
Negative882

The discrepant samples were tested for MPO and PR3 antibodies by ELISA. When this referee method was taken into account, the comparisons showed the following data:

Reference Method
PositiveNegative
Immuno Concepts ANCA2884

Reference Method
PositiveNegative

Combining the data from the normal blood donor population and the expected positive samples, we obtained the following data on the initial comparison of the subject device and the predicate device:

Immuno Concepts ANCAPositive25552
Immuno Concepts ANCANegative45528

Relative sensitivity : 85% Relative specificity: 91% Overall agreement: 89%

Taking into account the results of the specific MPO and PR-3 testing, the two tests yield the following data:

Reference Method
PositiveNegative
Immuno Concepts ANCAPositive29313

For NOVA Lite™ ANCA: For Immuno Concepts ANCA: Relative sensitivity : 86.9% Relative sensitivity : 98.3% Relative specificity: 93.1% Relative specificity: 97.7% Overall agreement: 91.0% Overall agreement: 98.0%

In accordance with 21 CFR 807.92(b)(3), we conclude from these data that the present device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 866.5660 Multiple autoantibodies immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. A multiple autoantibodies immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoantibodies (antibodies produced against the body's own tissues) in serum and other body fluids. Measurement of multiple autoantibodies aids in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorders (disease produced when the body's own tissues are injured by autoantibodies).(b)
