2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Relative Sensitivity and Specificity Comparison:

    • Test Set Size: 146 sera from normal blood donors and 185 sera from clinical patients (total 331 sera). Some samples were excluded due to equivocal results, leading to slightly smaller effective sample sizes in the calculations (e.g., 308, 306, 300, 303).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). Likely from general laboratory or donor populations relevant to the manufacturer. The data appears retrospective as existing sera were tested.
  • Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity using Characterized Sera:

    • Test Set Size: 331 characterized sera, specifically:
      • 146 Normal Blood Donor Sera
      • 45 Monospecific Sera
      • 70 IFA-ANA Positive Sera (35 low titer, 35 high titer)
      • 70 Autoimmune Disease State Sera
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). "Sera obtained from a variety of sources" suggests diverse origins, but specific countries or "retrospective/prospective" are not mentioned.

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

  • For the Relative Sensitivity and Specificity comparison, the ground truth was established by a "comparative method" (another commercially available ANA Screen test). This implies the "expert" was the predicate device's performance, not human experts.
  • For the Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity using Characterized Sera, the ground truth for normal blood donors was based on their classification as "normal." For monospecific, IFA-ANA positive, and autoimmune disease sera, the ground truth was based on pre-characterization ("known ANA reactivity" or "diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder" or "shown to be positive by the IFA-ANA method"). No mention of human experts defining these specific ground truths for the purpose of this study. The term "characterized sera" implies prior expert diagnosis or classification, but the number and qualifications of those experts are not detailed in this submission.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • There is no explicit mention of an adjudication method involving human reviewers or a specific process like 2+1 or 3+1 for the results of the Is-ANA ELISA Screen Test Kit.
  • For the relative comparison, it states samples "equivocal in either or both methods were excluded from calculations." This acts as a form of "adjudication by exclusion" rather than a consensus-based review for the equivocal cases.
  • For the clinical sensitivity/specificity, the "characterized sera" were used, meaning their status was pre-determined.

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

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study evaluates an in vitro diagnostic device (IVDD) which screens for antibodies in serum. These devices are typically evaluated based on their analytical and clinical performance characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, precision) against reference methods or established patient cohorts, not by comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance. The "AI" in this context refers to the MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor, which is an automation system for the assay, not an AI for image interpretation or diagnosis.

6. Standalone Performance Study:

  • Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire "Performance Characteristics" section details the standalone performance of the Is-ANA ELISA Screen Test System, both when performed manually and when run on the MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor. This includes:
    • Relative Sensitivity and Specificity (comparing it to an existing method).
    • Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity (evaluating its performance against defined patient populations and known antibody reactivities).
    • Precision studies.
    • Correlation between manual and automated (MAGO Plus) results.
      The primary goal is to show the device's ability to detect ANA.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Comparative Method Results: For relative sensitivity and specificity, the ground truth was the results obtained from "another commercially available ANA Screen test."
  • Established Clinical Status/Pathology/Known Reactivity: For clinical sensitivity and specificity:
    • Normal Blood Donor Sera: Implied ground truth of "absence of significant ANA" based on healthy donor status.
    • Monospecific Sera: Ground truth based on known, characterized presence of "monospecific antibodies of clinical significance."
    • IFA-ANA Positive Sera: Ground truth established by being "shown to be positive by the IFA-ANA method" with specified titers. IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) is a widely accepted reference method for ANA detection.
    • Autoimmune Disease State Sera: Ground truth based on patients "diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder." This is a form of clinical outcome/diagnosis ground truth.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • The document does not mention a separate training set or its sample size. This type of in vitro diagnostic device typically undergoes method validation and performance studies, which don't usually involve "training sets" in the same way machine learning algorithms do. The studies described are performance evaluations, not algorithm training.

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

  • As a training set is not mentioned, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable in this document.

D. Correlation of Manual and MAGO PLUS Results

The Is-ANA ELISA Screen Test Kit has been developed for automated as well as manual use. To demonstrate the equivalence of the manual and MAGO Plus procedures, the results of three hundred and twenty-five serum samples tested by both methods were plotted. A scattergram and regression line of the results obtained with 95% confidence intervals is shown in FIGURE 1. The data indicate a good correlation with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9712.

Image /page/4/Figure/6 description: This image is a scatter plot that shows the relationship between MAGO Plus Index Values and Manual Index Values. The x-axis represents the Manual Index Values, ranging from 0 to 10, while the y-axis represents the MAGO Plus Index Values, ranging from -2 to 16. The plot shows a positive correlation between the two variables, as the MAGO Plus Index Values tend to increase with the Manual Index Values. There is a line of best fit through the data.

Expected Values

The expected value for a normal patient is a negative result. However, positive ANA results may be found in apparently healthy individuals. In a recent study 12.4% of sera from normal healthy donors gave a detectable ANA result . Patient sera containing autoantibodies to those antigens represented in the Is-ANA ELISA Screen Test Kit will give positive results which can be further evaluated in specific tests. The number of positive samples detected is dependent upon the populations being tested.

The expected values in a normal S. Florida blood donor population were evaluated by assaying one hundred and forty-six sera both manually and using the MAGO Plus Automated EIA Processor. Figures 2 and 4 show the distribution of results in this normal population. For manual and MAGO PLUS testing 9.6% (14/146) gave positive results. Thirteen samples (8.9%) gave equivocal results manually and sixteen samples (11.4%) gave equivocal results on the MAGO I'lus. The remainder of the samples gave negative results. Of the positive samples, three were found to contain specific autoantibodies and an additional two samples gave weakly positive IFA-ANA results.

In the present studies one-hundred and eighty-five clinical sera obtained from patients with an autoimmune disease or with a known autoantibody reactivity were also evaluated in the Is-ANA ELISA Screen Test Kit. (for MAGO Plus testing one hundred and seventy-nine were available, six being QNS). Figures 3 and 5 show the distribution of results for this positive population. For manual testing 97.2% (180/185) of samples were positive. For MAGO Plus testing 98.9% (177/179) were positive.

Image /page/5/Figure/4 description: The image contains four plots comparing expected values for normal and clinical samples using manual and MAGO Plus methods. Figure 2 shows expected values for normal samples using the manual method, with a few outliers at the end. Figure 3 shows expected values for clinical samples using the manual method, with a more gradual increase in values. Figures 4 and 5 show the same comparison using MAGO Plus, with Figure 4 showing normal samples and Figure 5 showing clinical samples.

The logo consists of a circular seal with the words "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES - USA" arranged around the perimeter. Inside the circle is a stylized image of an eagle with its wings spread, symbolizing the department's mission to protect the health of all Americans.

§ 866.5100 Antinuclear antibody immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An antinuclear antibody immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the autoimmune antibodies in serum, other body fluids, and tissues that react with cellular nuclear constituents (molecules present in the nucleus of a cell, such as ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, or nuclear proteins). The measurements aid in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (a multisystem autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the victim's own tissues), hepatitis (a liver disease), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome (arthritis with inflammation of the eye, eyelid, and salivary glands), and systemic sclerosis (chronic hardening and shrinking of many body tissues).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
