Intended Use
The Trinity Biotech Uni-Gold™ H. pylori assay is intended for the rapid in vitro qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in adult human serum, plasma, or whole blood as an aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in patients with clinical signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal disease.
Device Description
As the sample flows laterally through the membrane, the specific antibody bindingprotein dye conjugate binds to the human immunoglobulins in the sample. If the sample contains IgG antibodies to H. pylori, the complex binds to the antigens on the solid phase of the device's test region producing a red/pink (red) line. In the absence of H. pylori antibodies, no line appears in the test region of the device. A procedural-functional control is built in to each device. As the sample migrates across the control region, the appearance of a red line at the control region indicates correct procedure and a functional device.

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a lateral flow immunoassay, which relies on chemical reactions and visual interpretation, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for detecting H. pylori antibodies to aid in diagnosis, not for treating or providing therapy for a medical condition.

Yes

The device aids in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection by detecting IgG antibodies, which is a key characteristic of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical test kit with a membrane, dye conjugate, and a solid phase, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "rapid in vitro qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in adult human serum, plasma, or whole blood as an aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection". The phrase "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device interacts with a biological sample (serum, plasma, or whole blood) to detect specific antibodies. This is characteristic of an IVD.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing the device with clinical samples (serum, plasma, or whole blood) to determine its accuracy in detecting H. pylori antibodies. This is a standard part of validating an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (Quidel QuickVue One-Step H. pylori Test) which is also an IVD further supports this classification.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Trinity Biotech Uni-Gold™ H. pylori assay is an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The clinical sensitivity and specificity (accuracy) of the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit was determined by the analysis of 348 clinical samples (164 positive and 184 negative) at three independent sites (USA, Canada, and Sweden). The clinical trials were performed on patients of mixed populations of race, sex, and age who presented with various gastrointestinal symptoms.

All patients underwent venipuncture for detection of antibodies to H. pylori by the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit, and a commercially available ELISA kit, as well as gastric biopsy for culture and histology for the detection of H. pylori infection. Biopsy "positive" was defined as culture and histology positive or culture positive, and biopsy "negative" was defined as negative for both culture and histology, or negative for culture. Biopsy results were considered the gold standard reference results for the detection of active H. pylori infection.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Brief Discussion of Nonclinical Data: Studies were conducted to evaluate cross reactivity, effects of hematocrit, sample stability, and test performance in various matrices (whole blood [fingerstick and venous], serum, and plasma). No cross reactivity was observed with the testing of the following organisms: Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter fetus, and Escherichia. coli, and Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies (Lyme disease positive samples). Further, there was no effect from the addition of very high levels of bilirubin, albumin, and hemoglobin. The Uni-Gold™ H. pylori assay provided accurate results with hematocrits ranging from 39% to 53%. Serum and plasma samples may be assayed when stored at 2-8℃ for up to three days, and when stored frozen at -20°C for longer intervals. Also, there were equivalent results in whole blood, serum, and plasma matrices.

Brief Discussion of Clinical Data:
Study Type: Clinical trial
Sample size: 348 clinical samples (164 positive and 184 negative)
Key Results: The Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit correctly identified 136 of the 164 biopsy-positive samples for a sensitivity of 83%, and correctly identified 152 of 184 biopsy-negative samples for a specificity of 83%. The overall accuracy was 83%.

Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit Vs Biopsy In Conjunction with ELISA: ELISA results were used to evaluate the 60 discrepant results (28 false negative and 32 false positive) between the Uni-Gold H. pylori test kit and biopsy. The data indicate that, of the 52 available results, 20 were found to be positive by both the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test and ELISA, and five were found to be negative by both methods.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Sensitivity: 83%
Specificity: 83%
Overall accuracy: 83%

Predicate Device(s)

The Uni-Gold H. pylori test kit is substantially equivalent to the Quidel QuickVue One-Step H. pylori Test (QuickVue), Quidel Corporation, San Diego, CA.

Identification. Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identifyCampylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases.Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.(b)

Differences Between Uni-Gold H. pylori Test Kit and QuickVue

Brief Discussion of Nonclinical Data (21 CFR 807.92(b)(1))

Uni-Gold™ H. pvlori Test Kit Results vs Biopsy Results

The data demonstrated the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit correctly identified 136 of the 164 biopsy-positive samples for a sensitivity of 83%, and correctly identified 152 of 184 biopsy-negative samples for a specificity of 83%. The overall accuracy was 83%.

Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit Vs Biopsy In Conjunction with ELISA

ELISA results were used to evaluate the 60 discrepant results (28 false negative and 32 false positive) between the Uni-Gold H. pylori test kit and biopsy. The ELISA method detects the presence of human IgG antibodies to H. pylori, and the ELISA testing was performed on all samples (* sample volume permitting).

  • only 52 of the 60 results are reported as there was either insufficient sample for ELISA testing, or ELISA results were inconclusive.

The data indicate that, of the 52 available results, 20 were found to be positive by both the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test and ELISA, and five were found to be negative by both methods.

Performance Data - Conclusions (21 CFR 807.92 (b)(3))

The studies demonstrated the substantial equivalence of the Uni-Gold™ H. pylori test kit to existing products already marketed. Cross-reactivity studies confirmed the specificity of the assay, and clinical studies confirmed the assay's accuracy.
