The Bayer Immuno 1™ cPSA Assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay intended to quantitatively measure complexed prostate specific antigen (cPSA) in human serum on the Bayer Immuno I™ System. Complexed prostate specific antigen (cPSA) values obtained should be used as an aid in the management (monitoring) of prostate cancer patients.
The Bayer Immuno ITM cPSA Assay utilizes the same immunoassay technology and the same R1 and R2 reagents as in the Bayer Immuno ITM PSA Assay except for the addition of a third, unlabeled, monoclonal antibody to the R2 reagent. Reagent 1 (or R1) contains monoclonal PSA antibody conjugated to fluorescein while Reagent 2 (or R2) contains polyclonal PSA antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase and a third unlabeled antibody specific for free PSA. The R1 and R2 conjugates are reacted with patient sample, calibrator, or control and are incubated at 37℃ on the system. Free PSA in the serum is bound by the unlabeled free PSA antibody while the remaining complexed PSA is bound by the PSA antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Immuno 1 Magnetic Particles coated with an anti-fluorescein antibody are then added and a second incubation occurs during which the antibody enzyme conjugate complex is bound. Washing of the particles is followed by addition of substrate (PNPP) reagent. The rate of conversion of substrate to a compound with absorbance at 405 and 450 nm is measured and the measured rate is proportional to the concentration of cPSA antigen in the sample. A cubic-through-zero curve fitting algorithm is used to generate standard curves.
The assay has a range of 0.02 to 100 ng/mL. The Bayer Setpoint™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Calibrators consist of a set of six calibrator levels at 0, 2, 10, 25, 50, and 100 ng/mL. The Bayer Setpoint™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Controls consist of a set of 3 control levels at approximately 3.5, 15, and 75 ng/mL.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria, based on the provided 510(k) summary:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided document defines acceptance criteria for various analytical performance characteristics. Clinical effectiveness is established by demonstrating equivalence to a predicate device (Bayer Immuno 1™ PSA Assay) in monitoring prostate cancer patients.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit/Explicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Performance | ||
| Specificity: Interference | +/- 10% deviation in cPSA recovery | None of the tested endogenous or exogenous interferents (triglycerides, immunoglobulin, hemoglobin, heparin, bilirubin, albumin, chemotherapeutic drugs, OTC drugs, vitamins) demonstrated significant interfering effects (outside +/- 10% deviation). |
| Cross-Reactivity | Maximum effect seen with cross-reactant ≤ 1% (not explicitly stated as criteria, but implied as significant) | Maximum effect seen with kallikrein, trypsin, and chymotrypsin was not significant (≤ 1%). |

| Parallelism (Sample Dilution) | Linear regression showing no deviation from linearity; recovery of diluted values between 90-110% (implied) | Linear regression analysis showed no deviation from linearity for diluted patient samples. Recovery of cPSA assay values ranged from 97.0% to 107.6%, demonstrating Level 1 calibrator as an acceptable diluent. |
| Reproducibility (Total %CV) | "Well within acceptable limits for an assay of this type" (implied as <5% or similar) | Pooled total coefficients of variation (%CV) across three clinical sites and three reagent lots: - Serum Pool (0.67 ng/mL): 2.3% - Control Level 1 (3.35 ng/mL): 2.3% - Control Level 2 (14.88 ng/mL): 2.0% - Control Level 3 (74.34 ng/mL): 2.4% All "well within acceptable limits." |
| Sensitivity (Detection Limit - MDC) | Acceptable for an "ultrasensitive complexed PSA assay" (implied <0.05-0.1 ng/mL) | 0.016 ng/mL observed, qualifying it as an ultrasensitive method. |
| Clinical Performance | ||
| Serial Monitoring (Agreement with Clinical Status) | High agreement between cPSA concentrations and patient clinical status | Agreement between serum complexed PSA concentrations and patients' clinical status for 150 out of 155 (97%) longitudinally monitored prostate cancer patients. |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Analytical Studies (Interference, Cross-Reactivity, Heterophilic Antibodies, Linearity, Hook Effect, Parallelism): The exact sample sizes for each specific analytical test (e.g., number of spiked samples, number of patient samples for linearity) are not always individually specified but involve various serum samples, pools, and controls. For heterophilic antibodies, 206 patient samples were used.
- Reproducibility: 358-360 replicates across three clinical sites, three reagent lots, and two calibrator lots for each of the four control/serum pool levels.
- Sensitivity (MDC): 717 replicates of the zero calibrator.
- Clinical Efficacy (Serial Monitoring): 155 patients with malignant prostate disease.
- Data Provenance: Retrospective. "All patients were studied retrospectively. Assay values were determined for surplus serum samples which had been collected and stored (-70° C) in specimen banks prior to the study."
- Country of Origin: Three US clinical trial sites.
- Clinical Efficacy (Distribution of cPSA Concentrations): No specific number is given for the "healthy females, healthy males, patients with active prostate cancer, male patients with benign urogenital diseases, male patients with various non-urogenital non-malignant diseases, and male patients with various malignant diseases of non-prostate origin."
- Data Provenance: Retrospective, from "specimen banks," likely from the same three US clinical trial sites.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
The document states: "Patient case histories were well conducted by qualified experts." However, it does not specify the number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") for establishing the ground truth (clinical status for serial monitoring). It implies that the clinical status (progressive, recurrent, successful therapy) was determined by the treating physicians at the "three US clinical trial sites."
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The "ground truth" for the clinical study appears to be the patients' recorded clinical status, as determined by their treating physicians. The comparison is made between the trends in cPSA values and the "patients' clinical status," which is based on individual patient medical histories.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed as this is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay quantifying a biomarker, not an imaging device or a diagnostic tool requiring human interpretation comparison. The clinical study compared the assay's performance to the patient's clinical outcome and to a predicate device (Immuno 1 PSA Assay), not to human readers' interpretations.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Yes, the studies reported are for the standalone performance of the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay. The device measures complexed PSA levels quantitatively. The "human-in-the-loop" aspect would be a physician interpreting these results for patient management, which is the intended use, but the performance data presented are purely analytical and then correlated with clinical outcomes.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the clinical effectiveness study, the primary ground truth used was outcomes data / clinical status. This involved:
- "Patients' clinical status" (progressive, recurrent disease, successful therapy following surgery/radiation/chemotherapy/hormonal therapy).
- "Medical history" collected for each patient.
- Comparison to the performance of a predicate device (Bayer Immuno 1™ PSA Assay), which itself had FDA Pre-Market Approval (PMA) for managing prostate cancer patients.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify a separate "training set" sample size in the context of machine learning or algorithm development. This assay is a biochemical immunoassay, not a machine learning model that undergoes explicit training on a dataset. The development and optimization of the assay's reagents and calibration curve would have involved extensive R&D and internal testing, but this is distinct from "training a model" with a labeled dataset as might be done for AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As mentioned above, since this is a biochemical immunoassay, there isn't a "training set" in the sense of a dataset used to train an AI model. The "ground truth" for establishing its analytical performance characteristics (like linearity, calibration, specificity) would be based on:
- Known concentrations of purified cPSA or spiked samples.
- Reference methods or established physiochemical properties.
- Comparative analysis against the predicate Immuno 1 PSA Assay for clinical equivalence.
For example, the calibrators are defined at specific known concentrations (0, 2, 10, 25, 50, and 100 ng/mL) of purified PSA-ACT. This purified antigen and its known concentrations would serve as the "ground truth" for calibrator development and assay linearity studies.

INDICATIONS FOR USE 2.
The Bayer Immuno 17M Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay intended to quantitatively measure complexed prostate specific antigen (cPSA) in human serum on the Bayer Immuno 1TM System. Complexed prostate specific antigen (cPSA) values obtained should be used as an aid in the management (monitoring) of prostate cancer patients
DEVICE DESCRIPTION 3.
The Bayer Immuno ITM cPSA Assay utilizes the same immunoassay technology and the same R1 and R2 reagents as in the Bayer Immuno ITM PSA Assay except for the addition of a third, unlabeled, monoclonal antibody to the R2 reagent. Reagent 1 (or R1) contains monoclonal PSA antibody conjugated to fluorescein while Reagent 2 (or R2) contains polyclonal PSA antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase and a third unlabeled antibody specific for free PSA. The R1 and R2 conjugates are reacted with patient sample, calibrator, or control and are incubated at 37℃ on the system. Free PSA in the serum is bound by the unlabeled free PSA antibody while the remaining complexed PSA is bound by the PSA antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Immuno 1 Magnetic Particles coated with an anti-fluorescein antibody are then added and a second incubation occurs during which the antibody enzyme conjugate complex is bound. Washing of the particles is followed by addition of substrate (PNPP) reagent. The rate of conversion of substrate to a compound with absorbance at 405 and 450 nm is measured and the measured rate is proportional to the concentration of cPSA antigen in the sample. A cubic-through-zero curve fitting algorithm is used to generate standard curves.
The assay has a range of 0.02 to 100 ng/mL. The Bayer Setpoint™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Calibrators consist of a set of six calibrator levels at 0, 2, 10, 25, 50, and 100 ng/mL. The Bayer Setpoint™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Controls consist of a set of 3 control levels at approximately 3.5, 15, and 75 ng/mL.
{2}------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF STUDIES
Nonclinical studies were performed at Bayer Corporation, Diagnostics Division, Tarrytown, New York to evaluate the purity of the calibrators, the purity and specificity of the reagents, and the efficacy of the reagent and calibrator preservatives. Data were also collected to evaluate specificity and interfering substances, cross-reactivity, heterophilic antibodies, linearity, hook effect/antigen excess, and parallelism. The clinical evaluation of Immuno I cPSA Assay as a quantitative measure of serum complexed PSA for use as an adjunctive test in the management of prostate cancer patients, was conducted at three US clinical trial sites. In addition, the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay was evaluated at the clinical sites for imprecision/reproducibility and analytical sensitivity.
Characterization of the Antigen 4.1
The calibrator antigen used in the Bayer Immuno I cPSA assay is purified PSA-ACT which is PSA isolated from human seminal fluid and complexed in vitro with alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT). The antigen is manufactured by Scripps Laboratories (San Diego, CA) and is supplied to Bayer. Antigen preparations were characterized using SDS-polyacrylamide gels under reducing conditions and results were consistent with the molecular weight of the antigen reported in the literature. Isoelectric focusing of the PSA-ACT antigen resolved pIs that were consistent with published values.
Immunoreactivity of the Antibodies 4.2
The monoclonal and polyclonal anti-PSA antibodies used in the preparation of the R1 and R2 reagent for the Bayer Immuno 1™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay are identical to those used in the Bayer Immuno 1™ PSA Assay. A third unlabeled monoclonal antibody was added to the R2 reagent of the cPSA Assay. The unlabeled monoclonal antibody was characterized in a series of experiments including isotype analysis, relative affinity analysis by ELISA, reducing and nonreducing SDS-PAGE and isoelectric focusing. These results demonstrated that the unlabeled monoclonal antibody bound to the PSA antigen quantitatively and specifically, and displayed biophysical properties expected of mouse monoclonal antibodies.
4.3 Reagent Microbial Testing
The formulation of cPSA Assay R1 reagent is identical to that of the Bayer Immuno 1 PSA Assay R1 reagent, therefore, no additional microbiological testing
{3}------------------------------------------------
was required. Preservative challenge testing was performed on the R2 reagent due to the addition of a third unlabeled monoclonal antibody. Results indicated an acceptable preservative system according to US Pharmacopoeia guidelines.
Calibrator Microbial Testing 4.4
Immuno 1 cPSA calibrator preservative was challenged with known concentrations of five strains of microorganisms recommended by US Pharmacopoeia standards and performance of the calibrators was tested. Microbial performance challenge testing on cPSA calibrators demonstrated that inoculation of the calibrators with up to 106 of each of the microorganisms per mL of calibrator had no significant effects on calibrator performance.
Assay Performance 4.5
Specificity: Interference 4.5.1
The recovery of cPSA from patient samples was studied before and after spiking the serum samples with the potentially interfering. Each potential interferent was tested at a maximum concentration.
The Immuno 1 cPSA Assay was performed on serum samples or pools of serum to which was added various concentrations of either triglycerides, immunoglobulin, hemoglobin, heparin, bilirubin, or albumin. cPSA values were also measured in serum samples after spiking with either an individual chemotherapeutic drug, "Over the Counter" (OTC) drug, or vitamin. None of the potential endogenous or exogenous interferents demonstrated any significant interfering effects on cPSA recovery. The test specification was ±10% deviation and none of the substances demonstrated an interforence outside of this range.
4.5.2 Cross-Reactivity
Possible cross-reactions in the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay were studied by comparing cPSA recoveries in patient samples with and without various spiked amounts of kallikrein, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. The maximum effect seen with each cross-reactant was not significant (≤1%).
4.5.3 Heterophilic Antibodies
To investigate the effectiveness of the assay's reagent formulation in minimizing
{4}------------------------------------------------
heterophilic antibody interferences, a total of 206 patient samples with HAMA, RF titers, or autoimmune diseascs were tested for possible interference in the cPSA assay. The observed cPSA recoveries indicated a lack of significant heterophilic interference in the assay and demonstrated the effectiveness of the reagent formulation in minimizing these interferences.
Linearity 4.5.4
To determine the linearity of this assay, four individual serum samples from prostate cancer patients were diluted (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0%) with a pool of female human sera. Recoveries of the intermediate dilutions were all between 95 and 103 percent of the expected values. These results demonstrate the linearity of cPSA recoveries over the entire calibration range.
4.5.5 Hook Effect (Antigen Excess)
Extremely high concentrations of cPSA seen in some malignant conditions may cause a "hook effect" in an assay. An excess of analyte saturates both label and capture antibody and causes the reported concentration to "hook" back into the assay range rather than be flagged as above range. cPSA antigen (PSA-ACT) was diluted in Level 1 Calibrator at concentrations of 50 ng/mL to 100,000 ng/mL. Results clearly demonstrated the lack of a hook effect in the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay at cPSA valucs ≤12,500 ng/mL.
4.5.6 Parallelism (Dilution Studies)
As a further verification of assay linearity, and to qualify the Level 1 Calibrator as a sample diluent, four patient serum samples containing a high level of cPSA were diluted (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0%) with Level 1 Calibrator. Linear regression analysis for the determination of deviations from linearity for each of these clinical samples showed no deviation from linearity. The recovery of cPSA assay values ranged from 97.0 to 107.6%. These data demonstrate that Level 1 calibrator is an acceptable diluent for high samples, with accurate recovery of diluted values.
4.5.7 Reproducibility
Intra- and inter-assay reproducibility were evaluated at three clinical trial sites for three levels of Bayer SETpoint Complexed PSA (cPSA) Controls and a human serum pool with complexed PSA concentration <1.0 ng/mL. Imprecision data pooled across Immuno 1 cPSA reagent lots and systems(sites) showed maximal
5
{5}------------------------------------------------
total coefficients of variation (%CV) of 2.4% over the range of the assay method. This is well within acceptable limits for an assay of this type

| Control Level 3 | 74.34 | 360 | 1.38 | 1.9 | 1.76 | 2.4 |
Sensitivity (Detection Limit) 4.5.8
Sensitivity of the Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay was evaluated at three clinical trial sites by determining the Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC). An MDC of 0.016 ng/mL was observed when assaying 717 replicates of the Immuno 1 cPSA zero calibrator using two Immuno 1 cPSA calibrator lots and three Immuno 1 cPSA reagent lots.
Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) analytical sensitivity, determined from data collected at three clinical trial sites using three Immuno 1 cPSA reagent lots and two Immuno 1 cPSA calibrator lots is excellent, and qualifies this assay as an ultrasensitive complexed PSA method.
4.6 CLINICAL STUDIES
4.6.1 Introduction
To assess the safety and effectiveness of the Bayer Immuno 1™ Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay, clinical studies were performed at three investigational. sites. All pationts were studied retrospectively. Assay values were determined for surplus serum samples which had been collected and stored (-70° C) in specimen banks prior to the study.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Serial Monitoring - Management Value of the Immuno 1 Complexed 4.6.2 PSA (cPSA) Assay Results for Prostate Cancer Patients
The Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay was used to determine complexed PSA values in sequential serum specimens collected from 155 patients with malignant prostate disease. Approximately four to nine specimens were collected from patients entered into the study for sampling periods that ranged from 3 months to 7 years. The specimens were assayed for complexed PSA concentration with the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay and for total PSA concentration with the Immuno 1 PSA Assay which has FDA Pre-Market Approval (PMA) for the management of prostate cancer patients. A medical history was also collected for each patient.
The use of the Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay as an aid in the management of prostate cancer patients during the course of disease and therapy was demonstrated in this study. Serial complexed PSA testing using the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay demonstrated agreement between serum complexed PSA concentrations and the patients' clinical status for 150 out of 155 (97%) of the longitudinally monitored prostate cancer patients. Increasing concentrations of complexed PSA were found in patients prior to and during the onset of progressive or recurrent disease. Complexed PSA concentrations significantly decreased following successful surgery and/or administration of radiation therapy, chemotherapy or hormonal therapy.
The Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay and the Immuno 1 PSA Assay for which there is an approved PMA for the management of prostate cancer patients, showed identical patterns of increases and decreases for the serially monitored patients. The management value of both assays are equivalent.
These data support the clinical utility of the Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay as an adjunctive test for use in the management of prostate cancer patients during the course of disease and therapy.
Distribution of Complexed PSA Concentrations; Sensitivity and 4.6.3 Specificity of the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay
The Immuno 1 cPSA Assay was used to determine the distribution of complexed PSA concentrations in healthy females, healthy males, patients with active prostate cancer, male patients with benign urogenital diseases,
$\lambda$
7
{7}------------------------------------------------
male patients with various non-urogenital non-malignant diseases, and male patients with various malignant diseases of non-prostate origin.
The distribution of complexed PSA concentrations determined by the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay is equivalent to the distribution of total PSA concentrations determined by the Immuno 1 PSA Assay for which there is an approved PMA and is similar to the distribution of total PSA values reported in the literature for the same population groups.
As with all tests, each laboratory should establish its own reference range. Since Complexed PSA is a proportion of total PSA, the upper limit of normal can be expected to be different than that for the total PSA.
4.6.4 Conclusions from the Clinical Studies
These clinical studies demonstrated that Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay measurement of complexed PSA in serial serum speciment over a disease course can aid the physician in the management of prostate cancer patients. Clinical equivalence to the Immuno 1 PSA Assay for which there is an approved PMA was demonstrated by excellent trending agreement for serially monitored patients. The frequency distribution of Immuno 1 cPSA concentrations were similar to the distribution of Immuno 1 PSA assay values in the same population groups.
Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) results are highly reproducible with maximum inter-assay %CV pooled over reagent lots and clinical sites of 2.4% over the range of the assay. The detection limit of 0.02 is acceptable for an ultrasensitive complexed PSA assay.
CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM ALL THE STUDIES ട്.
Valid Scientific Evidence
The conclusions drawn from these studies are based upon valid scientific evidence. Data were gathered following a well-designed protocol, in a research laboratory operating under the principles of Good Laboratory Practices. Clinical data were gathered during well controlled investigations Patient case histories were well conducted by qualified experts. documented. The results of this study are comparable to literature reports of experiences with commercial total PSA assays.
B
{8}------------------------------------------------
Method Performance
Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) performance including reproducibility, analytical sensitivity and specificity, cross-reactivity, linearity, antigen excess hook effect, and parallelism meet the accepted specifications set for an assay of this type.
Safety and Effectiveness
The clinical studies confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay as an aid in the management of prostate cancer patients. The correlations between Immuno 1 cPSA concentrations and the patients' clinical course of disease demonstrate that the Immuno 1 cPSA Assay may be used in conjunction with other clinical indicators to confirm the success of primary therapy and to signal possible recurrence of malignant disease.
Substantial Equivalence
The results of the comparison between Immuno 1 cPSA and Immuno 1 PSA, for which there is an approved PMA, demonstrate that the two kits are equivalent with respect to safety and effectiveness. There is excellent trending agreement between the Immuno 1 cPSA and Immuno 1 PSA concentration results for serially monitored patients. For prostate cancer patients, the distribution of Immuno 1 Complexed PSA (cPSA) values are consistent with stage of disease and treatment The frequency distribution of the serum complexed PSA concentrations status. found in apparently healthy individuals as well as patients with various benign urogenital and non-urogenital diseases, and various non-prostatic malignant diseases, when assayed with Immuno 1 cPSA, correspond to the serum PSA concentrations reported in the literature. Therefore, based upon the clinical concordance established in these studies, the Bayer Immuno 1 TM Complexed PSA (cPSA) Assay and the Bayer Immuno 17M PSA Assay are equivalent with respect to method performance, clinical utility, and device safety and effectivemess.
