AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study

The device in question is the MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive MIC/Combo Panels with Trovafloxacin, intended to determine antimicrobial agent susceptibility. The study aimed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to NCCLS frozen Trovafloxacin Reference Panels.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The core acceptance criterion is "Essential Agreement" with the predicate device.

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance (Gram-Negative)Reported Device Performance (Gram-Positive)
Overall Essential Agreement99.7%98.7%

Note: The document refers to FDA DRAFT document "Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices" (dated May 31, 1991) for defining substantial equivalence and acceptability. While the specific numerical threshold for "acceptable performance" is not explicitly stated in the provided text as a percentage, the reported values exceeding 98% are presented as demonstrating "acceptable performance" in comparison to the reference panels.

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

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the total number of isolates (sample size) used for the clinical trial. It does refer to "clinical isolates with a broad range of susceptibilities" and states that "The type and number of isolates tested was in compliance with the FDA guidance 'Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices: Draft May 1991'". This implies that the sample size adhered to FDA recommendations for such devices at the time.
  • Data Provenance: The study was a prospective clinical trial. The text mentions "fresh and stock Efficacy isolates and stock Challenge strains" were used for the external evaluations, implying a mix of recently isolated clinical samples and established laboratory strains. The specific country of origin is not mentioned.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications. The ground truth was established by "Reference panels were made according to NCCLS recommendations found in NCCLS Document M7-A4 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically, fourth edition; Approved Standard. Pennsylvania, NCCLS, 1997), using cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth." This process likely involves trained laboratory personnel following standardized protocols, rather than individual expert adjudication in the traditional sense of image analysis.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The adjudication method involved a specific protocol for resolving discrepancies:

  • Initial Data Analysis: Comparing initial Test MIC results with initial Reference MIC results.
  • Discrepancy Resolution: Isolates that exhibited a ≥ 2 dilution error (discrepancy) between the Test and the Reference panel were repeated in triplicate.
  • Final Data Analysis: Comparing the initial Test results to the repeat Reference results. Discrepancies were considered resolved when the repeat Reference result was in Essential Agreement with the initial Test result.
  • Additional Data Analysis: An additional analysis was performed using repeat results from both the Reference and the Test panels.

This method functions as a form of internal adjudication or re-testing protocol, aiming to confirm the stability of the reference measurement when a significant disagreement occurs. It is not a 2+1 or 3+1 expert consensus model as seen in image interpretation.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing panel, not a diagnostic imaging device that involves human readers interpreting results with or without AI assistance. The performance is gauged by direct comparison to a reference standard (NCCLS frozen panels), not by measuring improvements in human reader performance.

6. Standalone Performance Study

Yes, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study was performed. The entire clinical investigation focuses on comparing the output of the MicroScan® Dried panels (the device being evaluated) directly against the NCCLS frozen reference panels. While visual reading is mentioned for both (after 16-20 hours of incubation), the core of the evaluation is the intrinsic performance of the device in generating MIC values compared to the established reference standard, without involving a human interpretation step that requires "assistance." The "visual reading" refers to the method of determining the MIC endpoint from the wells, which is a standard procedure in microbiology, not an interpretation with expert variability.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was expert consensus / reference standard based on established laboratory methods. Specifically, the reference panels were "made according to NCCLS recommendations found in NCCLS Document M7-A4 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically, fourth edition; Approved Standard. Pennsylvania, NCCLS, 1997), using cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth." The NCCLS (now CLSI) standards represent the gold standard for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention a training set or its sample size. This type of susceptibility testing device typically does not involve a "training set" in the machine learning sense. Instead, the device's design and manufacturing process are developed, and then its performance is validated against established methods using a test set.

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

As there is no mention of a training set, there is no information on how its ground truth was established.

Section 1. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL STUDIES

Purpose/Scope

The purpose of the clinical studies was to demonstrate that MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive MIC/Combo panels with Trovafloxacin (Test panels) are substantially equivalent to frozen NCCLS reference panels (Reference panels). Device performance was evaluated in a clinical trial that included gram-negative and grampositive isolates. The study is summarized in this Premarket Notification. The clinical trial panels also included 2 other gram-negative antibiotics and 3 other gram-positive antibiotics. Only the Trovafloxacin data are included in this Premarket Notification submission.

Trovafloxacin - Indications & Usage, Microbiology, and Mechanisms of Resistance

In general, Trovafloxacin is a new fluoronaphthyridone related to the fluoroquinolones. The bactericidal action of Trovafloxacin results from inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication, transcription and repair of bacterial DNA. Topoisomerase IV is an enzyme known to play a key role in the partitioning of the chromosomal DNA during bacterial cell division. The mechanism of action of fluoroquinolones including Trovafloxacin is different from that of penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines. Therefore, fluoroquinolones may be active against pathogens that are resistant to these antibiotics. Resistance to Trovafloxacin in vitro develops slowly via multiple-step mutation in a manner similar to other fluoroguinolones. Although cross-resistance has been observed between Trovatloxacin and some other fluoroquinolones, some microorganisms resistant to other fluoroquinolones may be susceptible to Trovafloxacin. 1

Trovafloxacin is indicated for treatment of pneumonia, bronchitis, acute sinusitis, various internal and skin infections, prostatitis, urethral gonorrhea, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, when caused by susceptible strains.

Clinical Investigations

A copy of the Clinical Trial protocol is provided in Section 2.:Clinical Trial Protocol. The Clinical Trial protocol called for an Efficacy phase (stock and fresh isolates), a CDC Challenge (CDC challenge strains), and Reproducibility (inoculum and instrument). The Reproducibility isolates are provided in Section 2 .: Inoculum and Instrument Reproducibility Amendment. Throughout each phase Quality Control isolates were also tested. Performance was evaluated by comparing both proposed devices (gramnegative and gram-positive) with frozen NCCLS reference panels and clinical isolates with a broad range of susceptibilities for the 3 gram-negative antibiotics and 4 gram-positive antibiotics on the clinical trial panel. The type and number of isolates tested was in compliance with the FDA guidance "Review Criteria for Assessment of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Devices: Draft May 1991".

After completion of the gram-negative clinical trial, a decision was made to map the dilution range from 0.002 - 8 mcg/ml to 0.03 - 8 mcg/ml due to variable performance with the low end dilutions. Similarly, a decision was made to map several gram-positive dilutions due to variable performance; the 0.002 - 8 mcg/ml range was mapped up to 0.06 - 8 mcg/ml.

{3}------------------------------------------------

The clinical study was conducted between June and September 1998. A description of each clinical site and their role in the testing is presented in the clinical trial protocol, Section 2.

The MicroScan® Dried Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Panels (Test panels) contained doubling dilutions of Trovafloxacin from 0.002 to 8 mcg/ml. Data are presented on the gram-negative panel for the 9 dilutions (i.e., 0.03 - 8 mcg/ml), and on the gram-positive panel for the 8 dilutions (i.e., 0.06 - 8 mcg/ml) for which approval is requested.

The manufacturing process for both Test panels called for Trovafloxacin dehydrated in Mueller-Hinton broth. During testing each well was inoculated/rehydrated with the organisms suspended in distilled water with Pluronic * Test panels were read visually after 16-20 hours of incubation at 35° C in a non-CO2 incubator.

Reference panels were made according to NCCLS recommendations found in NCCLS Document M7-A4 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically, fourth edition; Approved Standard. Pennsylvania, NCCLS, 1997), using cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth. The Reference panels were read visually after 16-20 hours of incubation at 35° C in a non-CO2 incubator (see Section 2.: Clinical Trial Protocol, for the specific read times).

Each MIC was determined by comparing growth results in antibiotic wells with the growth patterns expressed in the 2 control wells (identified as the "Growth well" and the "Control well"). Initial data analysis was performed by comparing the initial Test MIC results with the initial Reference MIC results. As indicated in the Clinical Trial protocol, isolates that exhibited a ≥ 2 dilution error (discrepancy) between the Test and the Reference panel were repeated in triplicate. Final data analysis was performed by comparing the initial Test results to the repeat Reference results. Discrepancies were considered resolved when the repeat Reference result was in Essential Agreement with the initial Test result. An additional data analysis was also performed using repeat results from both the Reference and the Test panels. The Initial, Final, and Additional Data Analyses summaries are presented separately and are identified accordingly.

Both Clinical Trials consisted of 3 different test phases; Efficacy, CDC Challenge, and Reproducibility. Quality Control was performed daily. Data from the Efficacy and CDC Challenge phases were evaluated using the same Error and Agreement definitions.
