Device Description

The MAX-ACT Activated Clotting Time test tubes utilize a "cocktail" of particulate activators (including celite, kaolin, and glass particles) and is intended for use in the measurement of the activated clotting time test (ACT) on Actalyke Models A1, A1P, A2, A2P, and Hemochron® Models 400, 401, 800, 801 and 8000.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the MAX-ACT Activated Clotting Time Test Tube, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state pre-defined performance acceptance criteria. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Array Medical Actalyke C-ACT test tube, K964609) through correlation studies. The reported performance is presented as correlation coefficients.

Study Type / GroupPerformance MetricReported Device PerformanceAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)
In-Vitro (Normal Donors)Correlation with C-ACT/FTCA510r = 0.97, p = 0.0001 (n=72)Strong positive correlation (demonstrating substantial equivalence)
Clinical - Bypass PatientsCorrelation with C-ACT/FTCA510r² = 0.82 (all samples), r² = 0.87 (after omitting samples outside linear range)Strong positive correlation (demonstrating substantial equivalence)
Clinical - Aprotinin Bypass PatientsCorrelation with ACTII/K-ACT/FTKACTr² = 0.89Strong positive correlation (demonstrating substantial equivalence)
Clinical - Pediatric BypassCorrelation with FTCA510r² = 0.86Strong positive correlation (demonstrating substantial equivalence)
Clinical - Catheterization PatientsCorrelation with FTCA510r² = 0.88Strong positive correlation (demonstrating substantial equivalence)

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

  • In-vitro study:
    • Sample Size: 72 samples (derived from 3 normal, healthy volunteers by adding increasing amounts of heparin).
    • Data Provenance: In-house study, in-vitro heparinization of normal donor blood. The country of origin is not explicitly stated but can be inferred as the US given the submission to the FDA. Retrospective/Prospective: Not explicitly stated, but the description of generating samples suggests a controlled, prospective approach.
  • Clinical studies:
    • Total Sample Size: 330 paired blood samples.
    • Breakdown by Study Group:
      • Bypass Patients: 239 patient samples (from n=30 patients)
      • Aprotinin Bypass Patients: 28 patient samples (from n=6 patients)
      • Pediatric Bypass: 41 patient samples (from n=5 patients)
      • Catheterization Patients: 22 patient samples (from n=10 patients)
    • Data Provenance: Clinically collected samples from patients (adult bypass, pediatric bypass, cardiac catheterization) at "numerous institutions." The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but given FDA submission, it's likely primarily US data. Retrospective/Prospective: The description "collected... before, during, and following heparinization" suggests these were prospectively collected as part of the study.

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

This type of information is not provided in the given document. The "ground truth" in this context is the measurement provided by the legally marketed predicate devices (C-ACT, FTCA510, ACTII/K-ACT/FTKACT). These are established laboratory tests, and their results are considered the standard for comparison rather than requiring expert consensus on individual results.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This type of information is not applicable to this study. The study compares a new device's readings to those of a predicate device. There is no mention of human interpretation or a need for adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study focuses on the analytical performance of a diagnostic device (activated clotting time measurement), not on the diagnostic accuracy of human readers with or without AI assistance.

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

Yes, the performance data presented is that of the device (MAX-ACT Activated Clotting Time Test Tube) in a standalone capacity, i.e., without a human-in-the-loop evaluating its output in a diagnostic context. It compares the MAX-ACT's readings directly to those of established ACT tests.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for comparison was the readings obtained from legally marketed predicate Activated Clotting Time (ACT) tests. Specifically, these included:

  • Array Medical Actalyke C-ACT
  • HEMOCHRON CA510
  • HEMOCHRON FTKACT
  • ACTII/K-ACT

These predicate devices serve as the established standard for measuring ACT.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This document does not mention a 'training set.' The MAX-ACT device is a physical test tube containing "a cocktail of particulate activators." It’s not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The studies described are for validation and demonstration of equivalence, not for training an algorithm.

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

As there is no training set for this device, this question is not applicable.

Performance Data:

Substantial equivalence of the MAX-ACT ACT test tubes to the Array Medical Actalyke C-ACT is supported by an in-house study.

Whole blood was obtained from normal donors and heparinized in vitro up to 10.0 units of heparin/ml. Currently, the most common method for heparin monitoring in these heparinization ranges are the celite and kaolin based ACT tests (C-ACT (celite) and K-ACT (kaolin) (0.0-5.0 units/ml - 600 seconds) and HEMOCHRON CA510 (celite) (up to 600 seconds). Hemochron FTKACT (kaolin) (up to 600 seconds). The correlation of the MAX-ACT Activated Clotting Time test tube and various combinations of Actalyke and Hemochron instruments and ACT tubes were determined.

In-vitro heparin sensitivity curves were generated from three normal, healthy volunteers. Samples (n=72) were generated by adding increasing amounts of heparin to aliquots of normal donor blood. MAX-ACT Activated Clotting Time Tests were performed.

A positive correlation between the MAX-ACT and the C-ACT/FTCA510 was demonstrated when paired testing was performed. The MAX-ACT demonstrated a positive correlation with the C-ACT tubes (r=0.97, p=.0001, n=72) (Figure E1). The data is shown in Table E1.

Studies were also conducted clinically at numerous institutions. A total of 330 paired blood samples were collected from patients (including adult bypass, pediatric bypass, and cardiac catheterization) before, during, and following heparinization. The patients were divided into four discrete groups. These groups consisted of:

Study Group 1. Bypass Patients: Results obtained using a reference celite-based ACT test (C-ACT/FTCA510) were compared to those obtained using MAX-ACT test tubes. A total of 239 patient samples were collected from bypass patients (n=30) before, during, and following heparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass. The data vielded a correlation coefficient of r2 =0.82 (Figure E2) and r2 = 0.87 (Figure E3) when samples from the reference group were omitted which were outside the published linear range for the reference tube. The data is shown in Table E2.

Study Group 2. Aprotinin Bypass Patients: Results obtained using a reference kaolin-based ACT test (ACTII/K-ACT/FTKACT) were compared to those obtained using MAX-ACT test tubes. A total of 28 patient samples were collected from bypass patients receiving antifibrinolytic therapy (aprotinin) (n=6) before, during, and following heparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass. The data yielded a correlation coefficient of r2 =0.89 (Figure E4). The data is shown in Table E3.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Study Group 3. Pediatric Bypass: Results obtained using a reference celitebased ACT test (FTCA510) were compared to those obtained using MAX-ACT test tubes. A total of 41 patient samples were collected from pediatric bypass patients (n=5) before, during, and following heparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass. The data yielded a correlation coefficient of r2=0.86 (Figure E5). The data is shown in Table E4.

Study Group 4. Catheterization Patients: Results obtained using a reference celite-based ACT test (FTCA510) were compared to those obtained using MAX-ACT test tubes. A total of 22 patient samples were collected from cardiac catheterization patients (n=10) before, during, and following heparinization during the procedure (diagnostic and interventional). The data vielded a correlation coefficient of 2 =0.88 (Figure E6). The data is shown in Table E5.
