Device Description

AI/ML Overview

This is a very old document (1998) and describes the clearance of an in vitro diagnostic device, specifically an EIA (enzyme immunoassay) for cocaine metabolites in oral fluid. The information provided is typical for a 510(k) clearance letter and an Indications for Use statement, but it does not contain the detailed study results, acceptance criteria, or most of the very specific information you are requesting about AI/algorithm performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor details about sample sizes for test/training sets, experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as these concepts are largely relevant to more modern AI/ML device submissions and are not included in this type of 1998 clearance document.

However, I can extract the following relevant information from the provided text:

  • Device Name: STC Cocaine Metabolite Micro-Plate EIA
  • Intended Use: Qualitative determination of cocaine and cocaine metabolites in oral fluid collected with the OraSure® Oral Specimen Collection Device. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
  • Regulatory Class: II
  • Product Code: DIO

To answer your request based on the lack of this specific information, here's what I can deduce:

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

    • N/A. This document is a 510(k) clearance letter and "Indications for Use" statement. It does not include the detailed performance study results or predefined acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds) that would have been part of the 510(k) submission itself. For an in vitro diagnostic device, the acceptance criteria would typically relate to analytical performance (e.g., detection limit, precision, accuracy/agreement with a reference method) and clinical performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity against a confirmed drug use status). These metrics would have been compared to a legally marketed predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • N/A. This information is not present in the provided document. The sample size and data provenance for the clinical studies would have been included in the 510(k) submission. For IVD devices, clinical samples would be tested to evaluate performance.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

    • N/A. This information is not present in the provided document. For a drug metabolite test, the "ground truth" would typically come from confirmatory laboratory methods (e.g., GC/MS or LC/MS/MS) on the same or split samples, not from human experts interpreting images or signals in the same way a radiologist would.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • N/A. This information is not present in the provided document. "Adjudication" often refers to resolving discrepancies between human readers, which is not directly applicable to the primary analytical performance evaluation of this type of in vitro diagnostic device.
  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:

    • N/A. This device is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay kit, not an AI/ML-based device that assists human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study and the concept of "human improvement with AI" are not relevant to this product.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, in spirit, but not in the AI/ML context. The STC Cocaine Metabolite Micro-Plate EIA is a test kit designed to provide a result (qualitative determination of cocaine metabolites) based on biochemical reactions, without a human "algorithm" or interpretation in the way AI systems operate. Its performance would be evaluated as a standalone product. However, this is not an "algorithm" in the modern AI sense.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Likely confirmatory laboratory methods (e.g., GC/MS, LC/MS/MS). For drug metabolite detection, the gold standard for ground truth is typically a highly sensitive and specific mass spectrometry-based method performed on the same biological samples. This is superior to "expert consensus" in this context.
  8. The sample size for the training set:

    • N/A. This concept of a "training set" is specific to machine learning algorithms. This device is a biochemical assay kit and does not involve an AI/ML algorithm that requires training data.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • N/A. As above, the concept of a training set and its ground truth is not applicable to this type of in vitro diagnostic assay.

In summary, this document pertains to a traditional in vitro diagnostic device from 1998, and thus most of your detailed questions regarding AI/ML device study design and performance criteria are not applicable. The 510(k) clearance process for such devices focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through analytical and clinical performance studies, the details of which are not described in this high-level clearance letter.

Dear Dr. Niedbala:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.
