Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for INFINITI CYP2C19 Assay

The document focuses on the analytical performance of the device rather than clinical efficacy for patient outcomes or human reader improvement, as it is an in vitro diagnostic device for genotyping. Therefore, some of the requested information, such as effect size of human readers with AI assistance, is not applicable.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Limit of Detection (LOD) Test Set:

  • Sample Size: A total of 1,560 individual tests were completed across various DNA input levels and sample genotypes.
  • Data Provenance: The document implies these were internally generated samples used for development and characterization of the assay. The genotypes (*1/*1, *1/*17, *2/*2, *2/*17) were determined by bi-directional sequencing. The text refers to "whole blood samples," suggesting human samples, but the country of origin is not specified. It is likely retrospective as these are characterized samples used for method validation.

• Percent Agreement vs. Bi-directional Sequencing (Test Set):

  • Sample Size: 317 patient samples.
  • Data Provenance: The samples were "patient samples" tested at "Three sites." They were "de-identified to protect patient's identity." Country of origin is not specified but generally implies samples obtained where the sites are located, likely within the US given the FDA submission. The nature of these being "patient samples" suggests they are clinical samples, used retrospectively for assay validation.

• Assay Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility (Test Sets):

  • Study 1 Sample Size: 12 whole blood samples, resulting in 430 tests.
  • Study 2 Sample Size: 6 genomic whole blood samples, resulting in 255 tests.
  • Combined Sample Size: Across all reproducibility studies, 18 samples were tested, totaling 685 individual replicates/tests.
  • Data Provenance: The samples were "identical samples comprised of whole blood samples." The sites were blinded to sample identity. Like the previous studies, these imply human samples, but the country of origin is not specified. These are clinical samples likely used retrospectively for method validation.

• Interference Test Set:

  • Sample Size: 8 whole blood samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but consistent with other studies, likely human whole blood samples used retrospectively for assay validation.

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

For the genetic assays described, the "ground truth" is established through bi-directional sequencing.

• Number of Experts: The document does not specify the number of individuals involved in performing or interpreting the bi-directional sequencing, nor their explicit qualifications (e.g., molecular geneticists, laboratory technologists). However, bi-directional sequencing is a standard molecular biology technique and its interpretation falls under the expertise of qualified laboratory professionals familiar with genetic sequence analysis.
• Qualifications: "Bi-directional sequencing" itself is the gold standard for defining genetic sequences. Thus, the qualification is implied through the choice of this highly accurate method for ground truth determination.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Adjudication Method: The document does not describe an explicit "adjudication method" in the typical sense of multiple expert reviewers resolving discrepancies. Instead, the ground truth was established by bi-directional sequencing. For the "no calls" that occurred with the INFINITI assay, the samples were repeated, and the "repeat test gave the correct call." This indicates an internal re-testing protocol for initial "no calls" rather than a formal expert adjudication of differing results between the device and the ground truth. When an "incorrect call" (1 instance) occurred, the root cause was "not definitively determined," suggesting internal review rather than a formal, pre-defined expert adjudication panel.

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

• This question is not applicable to the INFINITI CYP2C19 Assay. This is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device directly measuring genetic material, not an imaging or diagnostic support system where a human "reader" (e.g., radiologist) would interact with AI. The device provides genotype calls directly, without human interpretation in the analytical performance step.

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

• Yes, the performance studies described are essentially standalone (algorithm only). The INFINITI Analyzer automates the entire process from hybridization to signal detection and analysis, presenting "genotype calls." The "Percent Agreement vs. Bi-directional Sequencing" and "Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility" studies specifically evaluate the accuracy and consistency of these automated genotype calls against the gold standard (bi-directional sequencing) and across different operational conditions, respectively. Human involvement is in sample preparation, loading, and interpreting the final report, but the "genotype call" generation is automated.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• The primary ground truth used for all performance validation studies (Limit of Detection, Percent Agreement, Reproducibility) was bi-directional sequencing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• The document does not specify a separate "training set" size for the device's development. This is typical for in vitro diagnostic devices that rely on molecular biology principles and analytical performance rather than machine learning algorithms trained on large datasets. The device's design is based on known genetic sequences and established assay chemistry (PCR, hybridization). The "studies related to specificity were conducted during assay development" (Analytical Specificity section) implies iterative testing and optimization, but not necessarily a distinct, quantified "training set" like in AI/ML applications.

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

• As a formal "training set" is not explicitly mentioned or quantified, this question is largely not applicable in the context of this traditional IVD device.
• For the initial development and optimization of the assay (analogous to internal "training" or development data), the ground truth for samples used would have been established by bi-directional sequencing or other established genotyping methods, as indicated for the LOD studies and as the comparator method for all validation. The "known genomic samples" used for ASP primer specificity determination would also have had their ground truth established by such highly accurate molecular methods.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the INFINITI 2C9 & VKORC1 Multiplex Assay for Warfarin, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The document describes the performance characteristics without explicitly stating pre-defined "acceptance criteria" as pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it presents the "reported device performance" and implies that these results demonstrate the device's suitability. For the purpose of this analysis, I will synthesize the reported performance values as the de facto "acceptance criteria" that the device met.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

Sample Size for Test Set:

• Agreement with Bi-directional Sequencing:
  • 150 patient samples tested in the initial comparison (first run data for 2C9*2, 2C9*3, VKORC1).
  • Table 2b "by Sample Type" also shows 150 samples, implying these are the same samples analyzed by genotype.
• Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility:
  • 7 genomic DNA samples and 5 whole blood samples (total 12 unique samples).
  • Each unique sample was run in duplicate per day/operator for six days at each of 3 sites.
  • Total tests: 12 samples * 2 replicates/day * 6 days * 3 sites = 432 tests per site, for a total of 1296 tests across all sites for the "first time run" and "final result".

Data Provenance:

• Agreement with Bi-directional Sequencing:
  • Origin: Not explicitly stated, but "patient samples" were used. Given the FDA submission context, it's highly likely these were de-identified samples from the United States.
  • Nature: The description "Each site tested its own patient samples" and that they were "from patients using or have used warfarin" suggests these were retrospective samples, collected from a patient population relevant to the intended use.
• Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility:
  • Origin: Not explicitly stated, but likely from the United States given the submission.
  • Nature: Controlled study using "seven genomic DNA samples and five whole blood samples." These would be prospective in the sense that they were specifically prepared and distributed for this reproducibility study, though the original source of the genetic material might have been retrospective.

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

The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth.

For the Agreement with Bi-directional Sequencing study, the ground truth was established by:

• Bi-directional DNA sequencing. This is a recognized laboratory method for determining genetic sequences and is considered the gold standard for many genetic variants. Thus, the ground truth was established by laboratory method, not expert consensus.
• The document implies that the sequencing results were accepted as the definitive truth without the need for expert adjudication or review.

For the Inter-Laboratory Reproducibility study, the ground truth for the 7 genomic DNA samples and 5 whole blood samples was their known genotypes, which would have been previously determined, presumably also by a method like bi-directional sequencing.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method involving multiple human reviewers for the test set.

• In the "Agreement with Bi-directional Sequencing" study, "bi-directional sequencing" served as the comparator/ground truth. The device results were directly compared to these sequencing results.
• For the inter-laboratory reproducibility study, device results from different sites and operators were compared to the known genotype of the samples.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This study assesses the improvement of human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance. The INFINITI 2C9 & VKORC1 Multiplex Assay for Warfarin is an in vitro diagnostic device for genotype detection, not an imaging or diagnostic support tool that assists human readers. Its output is a genotype call, not an interpretation that radiologists or other human experts would then refine or improve upon.

6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only)

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire submission details the performance of the "INFINITI 2C9 & VKORC1 Multiplex Assay for Warfarin" as a standalone device. The device automates key steps and provides genotype calls:

• "Steps (c) through (f) are automated by the INFINITI Analyzer."
• "The INFINITI Analyzer automates the 2C9 and VKORC1 assays and integrates all the discrete processes of sample (PCR amplicon) handling, reagent management, hybridization, detection, and results analysis. The assays are processed automatically and read by the built-in confocal microscope. Results are analyzed and presented as genotype calls."
• The performance metrics (agreement with sequencing, reproducibility, LOD, specificity, etc.) are all measures of the algorithm's direct output.

There is no human-in-the-loop component described for its routine operation or performance evaluation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used for the performance studies was established laboratory method results, specifically bi-directional DNA sequencing. This method is considered highly accurate for determining DNA sequences and genetic variants.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a sample size for a training set. This is typical for in vitro diagnostic devices based on established molecular biology principles (PCR, hybridization, genotyping microarrays) where the design is more mechanistic and less dependent on machine learning models requiring extensive "training data" in the conventional sense. The "development" of the assay mentioned for analytical specificity would involve testing various known samples, but these are generally considered part of the assay development and validation rather than a distinct "training set" for an algorithm in the AI context.

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

Since no explicit training set is detailed, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not described. If one were to consider the samples used during "assay development" as a form of training/optimization, their ground truth would also have been established by known genomic samples (e.g., cell lines with characterized genotypes, or samples sequenced by a gold-standard method).

The INFINITI" System Assay for detection and genotyping of Factor II & Factor V is indicated for use as an aid to diagnosis in the evaluation of patients with suspected thrombophilia.

The INFINITI System Assay for Factor II & Factor V is an in vitro diagnostic device which utilizes proprietary film-based microarray technology combined with process automation, reagent management and software technology for the detection and genotyping of the Factor II (Prothrombin) G20210A mutation and the Factor V Leiden G1691A mutation from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolated from human whole peripheral blood samples.

The INFINITI System Assay for Factor II & Factor V is comprised of the BioFilmChip" Microarray, the Intellipac™ Reagent Module, and the INFINITI Analyzer with the Qmatic" Operating Software.

The BioFilmChip Microarray consists of a polyester film coated with proprietary multi-layer components designed for DNA analysis. The layers have been designed to provide a versatile surface to enhance test performance. There can be up to 240 spots per microarray with each spot representing a different allele. The microarrays are designed to be assay specific.

The Intellipac Reagent Module which acts as a communication link contains up to eight reservoirs that house the test reagents and has an integrated memory chip. The assay protocol resides in this memory chip and upon request is loaded to the INFINITI Analyzer. Information such as expiration date of reagents, volume usage, time of use and operation parameters are archived in the memory chip and appear on the worklist (run report).

The INFINITI Analyzer is an instrument used for clinical multiplex systems intended to measure and sort multiple signals from a clinical sample. The INFINITI Analyzer is designed to measure fluorescence signals of labeled DNA target hybridized to BioFilmChip microarrays. The INFINITI Analyzer automates the Factor II and Factor V assays and integrates all the discrete processes of sample (PCR amplicon) handling, reagent management, hybridization, detection, and results analysis. The assays are processed automatically and read by the built-in confocal microscope. Results are analyzed and presented in numerical and graphical format.

The INFINITI Analyzer has two main components: pipetting and optics modules. A variety of electronic components inside the instrument are used for its operation. These include multiple stepper motors, heating and cooling devices, a barcode reader, a photomultiplier tube, and a camera all connected to USB ports.

Pipetting Module - The pipetting module performs all the operations related to dispensing and aspiration of reagent and processing the amplified sample to be dispensed on the microarray. When the sample has been processed and hybridized to the microarray, it is transferred to the optics module for scanning and reading.

Optics Module - The optics module is a lightproof assembly comprised of a 3-axis stage: camera, lasers, and a photo multiplier tube (PMT). It is the enclosed casement into which the microarray is transported automatically prior to being processed on the stringency station. The optics' stage follows X-Y-Z motions that can be stepped at a very precise rate (2.0 micron per step). Using excitation wavelengths of a 760nm laser diode, the camera takes a 1.2x1.2mm picture for each registration spot of a fluorescent die. Analyses of these pictures allow the location of three registration spots to be determined. With respect to the position of the three registration spots, coordinates of all the bio-spots can be located. While scanning, the stage moves along the Z-axis to focus the chip and the X and Y-axes to locate the individual spots on the microarray.

The INFINITI Analyzer hardware is controlled by the Qmatic™ operating software, which is installed with-in the on-board computer and utilizes a LCD screen display. The INFINITI Analyzer modules are controlled by multitasking real time software. The Omatic "M operating software has a schedule manager that is capable of controlling all operations of the INFINITI Analyzer such as assay protocol, fluid handling, robotics, optical detection and result analysis. Results are available for review via the LCD screen. Management reports include results in numerical and graphical format. The operator can also print the displayed results in tabular form (printer not included with INFINITI Analyzer).

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the INFINITI™ System Assay for Factor II & Factor V, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The 510(k) summary largely focuses on demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices and detailing performance characteristics rather than explicitly stating pre-defined "acceptance criteria" with specific thresholds for all metrics.

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

The "test set" here refers to the samples used for the comparative effectiveness study against the predicate device.

• Factor II G20210A mutation: 208 samples
• Factor V Leiden G1691A mutation: 175 samples

The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

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

This information is not provided in the given 510(k) summary. The ground truth for the comparison study was based on the results from the predicate devices (Roche Factor II G20210A and Factor V Leiden Kits). It's implied that the predicate devices themselves established the "ground truth" for the samples.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided. The comparison was directly between the new device and the predicate device results. There's no mention of an independent adjudication process for discrepancies.

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

Not Applicable. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay system and analyzer, not an AI-powered image analysis or diagnostic aid for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study and analysis of human reader improvement with AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, the performance characteristics described, such as Limit of Detection, Assay Precision, Instrument Reproducibility, Reagent Stability, Interference, and Sample Carry-over, represent the standalone performance of the INFINITI™ System Assay for Factor II & Factor V. The comparison to the predicate device also assesses its standalone diagnostic performance.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the comparative effectiveness study was established by the predicate devices: the Roche Factor II G20210A Kit and the Roche Factor V Leiden Kit. This means the device's accuracy was assessed by its agreement with these established, FDA-cleared methods.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a separate "training set" size. As this is a molecular diagnostic assay system, the development process typically involves optimizing reagents and conditions rather than training a machine learning algorithm in the conventional sense. The "training" would be more akin to assay development and validation using various known samples.

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

Since a "training set" for a machine learning algorithm is not explicitly defined or used in the context of this traditional IVD assay, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable in the same way. The development of the assay would have relied on known positive and negative controls, synthetic DNA, and clinical samples with previously determined genotypes (likely via Sanger sequencing or other established reference methods during the predicate device's development or the assay's R&D phase). This type of information is generally part of the assay development and validation process rather than a separate "training set" section in a 510(k) summary.
