    Intended Use

    The Carolina Liquid Chemistries Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay (COCM) Test System is intended for the qualitative determination of benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite) in human urine at a cutoff value of 300 ng/mL. The assay is designed for professional use with a Carolina Liquid Chemistries CLC6410 automated clinical chemistry analyzer. For in vitro diagnostic use only. The assay provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of benzoylecgonine in urine. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical considerations and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive.

    Device Description

    The Carolina Liquid Chemistries Cocaine and Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay (COCM) Test System is a ready-to-use, liquid reagent homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for qualitatively determining the presence of cocaine metabolite (benzoylecgonine) in human urine. The assay uses specific antibody that can detect benzoylecgonine in human urine with minimal cross-reactivity to various, common prescription drugs and abused drugs. The assay is based on competition between benzoylecgonine labeled with the enzyme glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and free drug from the urine sample, for a fixed amount of antibody. In the absence of free drug from the urine sample, the specific antibody binds to the drug labeled with G6PDH causing a decrease in enzyme activity. The G6PDH enzyme activity is determined spectrophotometrically at 340 nm by measuring its ability to convert nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to NADH.

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

    • Precision:
      • Within Run: 4 replicates per concentration.
      • Run-to-Run: 88 replicates per concentration (2 samples/day for 22 non-consecutive days).
    • Interference (pH): 18 real human urine samples (9 pH pools, each split and spiked at two concentrations).
    • Interference (Specific Gravity): 20 real human urine samples (10 SG pools, each split and spiked at two concentrations).
    • Carryover: 21 samples (10 "High" at 1000 ng/mL, 11 "Low" at 0 ng/mL).
    • Method Comparison and Accuracy: 81 samples total.
      • 41 LC/MS Confirmed Negative Samples (20 drug-free, 21 between 0-300 ng/mL, with 8 between 150-300 ng/mL).
      • 40 LC/MS Confirmed Positive Samples (at least 8 between 300-450 ng/mL, remaining >450 ng/mL).

    Data Provenance: The document states "real human urine samples" for interference testing, and for precision and accuracy, samples were "drug free urine" or "spiked with benzoylecgonine." The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. It implies a controlled laboratory setting (spiking, adjusting pH/SG).

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

    The document does not mention the use of experts to establish a ground truth. The ground truth for the test set (Method Comparison and Accuracy, Precision) was established through instrumental analysis: LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), which is explicitly called the "confirmatory method" and "reference method."

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    No adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is mentioned, as the ground truth was established by instrumental methods (LC/MS) rather than human experts requiring consensus.

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

    No MRMC study was done, as this device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for laboratory use, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, there is no mention of effect size for human readers improving with or without AI assistance.

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

    This device is a standalone algorithm/assay in the sense that it performs the qualitative determination of benzoylecgonine without a human-in-the-loop for the primary result interpretation. The "professional use" mentioned refers to laboratory professionals operating the automated analyzer and interpreting the results within a clinical context, not interacting with AI for improved diagnostic performance. The performance data presented (precision, accuracy, etc.) represents the standalone performance of the assay.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The primary ground truth used for performance evaluation (especially for accuracy and precision) is Gas or Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS). For the precision study, it states: "All sample concentrations were verified by a confirmatory method (LCMS)." For method comparison and accuracy, it states: "Qualitative Mode Accuracy study with LC-MS/MS as reference method." This is an instrumental, objective laboratory method.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document describes performance studies for a developed immunoassay. It does not mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning, as this is a chemical assay, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires training data in that sense. The reagents and parameters are developed through R&D, not trained on a dataset like a deep learning model.

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

    As no training set (in the ML sense) is relevant for this type of immunoassay, this question is not applicable. The assay's analytical characteristics are determined by its chemical and biological components and detection principles, which are optimized during development and validated through the studies described.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the validation of the Carolina Liquid Chemistries Cocaine and Cocaine Metabolite Test System (COCM), an enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative detection of benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite) in human urine at a cutoff value of 300 ng/mL. The study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Lin-Zhi International, Inc. Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay).

    Based on the provided information, here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The document implicitly uses the performance of the predicate device and LCMS/GCMS as the "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence. The key performance characteristics evaluated for the candidate device are Accuracy, Interfering Substances/Cross-Reactivity, and Precision.

    Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit, based on Predicate/Reference Method)Reported Device Performance (Carolina Liquid Chemistries COCM)
    AccuracyHigh concordance with LCMS for positive and negative samples at various concentrations relative to the 300 ng/mL cutoff, similar to predicate device's performance against GCMS.Candidate device compared to LCMS (n=100 specimens)
    - Drug Free (0.00 ng/mL): 30 Negative (100% negative)
    -  50 to  100 to  150% of cutoff (>= 450 ng/mL): 26 Positive (100% positive)
    - Overall: All 100 samples matched LCMS results (100% agreement). |
    

    | Interfering Substances/Cross-Reactivity/Specificity | Demonstrate a specific antibody that can detect benzoylecgonine with minimal cross-reactivity to various common prescription and abused drugs. pH (3-11) and specific gravity (1.000-1.030) should not interfere. | - Specific Gravity & pH: "Study results show that neither pH (range tested: 3-11), nor specific gravity conditions (range tested 1.000-1.030) will interfere with this assay."

    • Specificity (Cross-Reactivity):
      • Structurally Related Cocaine Compounds showed cross-reactivity (e.g., Cocaine (30 µg/mL), Norcocaine (60 µg/mL), Ecgonine, Methyl Ester (350 µg/mL) were "Positive"). Benzoylecgonine (0.3 µg/mL) also positive, as expected.
      • Numerous other common drugs/substances (e.g., Acetaminophen, Amphetamine, Codeine, Morphine, Nicotine, etc.) tested up to 1000-2000 µg/mL showed "Negative" cross-reactivity. |
        | Precision | Consistent and reproducible results across runs and within runs, especially around the cutoff concentration. | - Within Run (Qualitative Analysis): 20 replicates of spiked human urine at 9 concentrations. At the 300 ng/mL cutoff, 15 Negative / 5 Positive results were obtained (implies some borderline results). All other concentrations (0-225 ng/mL and 375-600 ng/mL) showed 100% agreement with expected negative/positive results.
    • Run-to-Run (Qualitative Analysis): 90 replicates of spiked human urine at 9 concentrations. At the 300 ng/mL cutoff, 84 Positive / 6 Negative results were obtained (implies some borderline results). All other concentrations (0-225 ng/mL and 375-600 ng/mL) showed 100% agreement with expected negative/positive results.
    • Within/Run-to-Run (ΔmA/min): Provided mean, SD, %CV for different concentrations, indicating good precision (e.g., %CV

    This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for the Carolina Liquid Chemistries HDL Cholesterol Reagent. It is not a study report demonstrating device performance against acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from this document.

    However, I can provide what is explicitly stated in the document:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    This document does not contain a table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance. It is a clearance letter, indicating that the FDA has determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. Performance data would typically be found in the 510(k) submission itself, not the clearance letter.

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    This information is not available in the provided document.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    This information is not available in the provided document.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    This information is not available in the provided document.

    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 information is not available in the provided document. The device is a "HDL Cholesterol Reagent" and a "Clinical Chemistry Analyzer," which suggests it's an in-vitro diagnostic test for quantitative determination of HDL-C, not an imaging device typically associated with human reader interpretation in the context of MRMC studies.

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

    This information is not available in the provided document. Given the nature of the device (a reagent for an analyzer), its performance would inherently be "standalone" in the sense that the analyzer provides a quantitative result without human "interpretation" in the way an imaging algorithm might. However, this document does not detail performance studies.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    This information is not available in the provided document. For a quantitative diagnostic test like this, ground truth would typically be established through a reference method or comparison to other established methods for HDL-C measurement.

    The Triglycerides Reagent is intended for the quantitative determination of serum triglycerides using the Beckman SYNCHRON CX Clinical System:s. Elevated serum triglyceride levels are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease, pancreatitis, and numerous genetic lipoprotein disorders.

    Device Description

    Not Found

    AI/ML Overview

    Due to the limited information in the provided document, I cannot fulfill all parts of your request. This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (Triglycerides Reagent) and does not contain detailed study information regarding acceptance criteria or performance data.

    Here's what I can extract and what is missing:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in the document. The FDA letter confirms the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, implying it meets general performance expectations for this type of in-vitro diagnostic. Specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy, precision limits) are not provided.
    • Reported Device Performance: Not included in the document. The letter acknowledges that the manufacturer provided information to support substantial equivalence, but the actual performance data is not detailed here.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample size: Not mentioned in this document.
    • Data provenance: Not mentioned in this document.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not mentioned in this document.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not mentioned in this document.

    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 device is a Triglycerides Reagent, an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) for quantitative determination of serum triglycerides. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device or a device involving human "readers" in the context of imaging interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable to this type of device.

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

    • This question also appears to be framed from the perspective of an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic device. As a chemical reagent, the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" doesn't directly apply. The performance of the reagent would be assessed through analytical and clinical validation studies, but not in the sense of a standalone algorithm for image analysis.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • For an in-vitro diagnostic like a triglycerides reagent, the "ground truth" would typically be established through:
      • Reference methods: Comparing the device's results to a more established, highly accurate reference method for triglyceride measurement.
      • Clinical correlation: Showing that the triglyceride levels determined by the device correlate with clinical conditions (e.g., risk of coronary artery disease, pancreatitis) or patient outcomes as expected.
      • Known concentration controls: Testing the device with samples of known triglyceride concentrations.
      • This document does not specify which type of ground truth was used for the submission.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not mentioned in this document. (Training sets are more relevant for machine learning algorithms, which this device is not).

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a "training set" in that context.

    This indicates a process of demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which relies heavily on comparing the new device's characteristics and performance to an already legally marketed device, often through analytical and clinical performance studies specific to IVDs (e.g., precision, accuracy, linearity, interferences).

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as it pertains to AI/ML device evaluation, as this document is not about such a device.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) summary does not contain the detailed information necessary to complete all sections of your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them.

    The document is a letter from the FDA stating that the "Creatinine Reagent" device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, and it allows the manufacturer to begin marketing the device. It also includes the "Indications For Use." However, it does not contain any information about specific acceptance criteria (performance metrics), the details of any study that was conducted (sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies), or standalone algorithm performance.

    Therefore, I cannot generate the table or the other requested points based solely on the provided text. The 510(k) summary typically points to a separate document (which is not provided here) that would contain such study details.

    AI/ML Overview

    This letter is a 510(k) clearance for the SYNCHRON CX Systems Glucose Reagent (GLU) and does not contain the detailed study information required to fully answer the request. The document states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, but it does not provide acceptance criteria, performance data, or details about the studies conducted. Therefore, I cannot extract the information requested in points 1 through 9.

    Here's why some of the specific points cannot be addressed:

    • 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This information is not present. The letter only grants clearance based on substantial equivalence.
    • 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not available in this document.
    • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not available.
    • 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not available.
    • 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 is a glucose reagent, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device for human readers. This question is not applicable.
    • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: As this is a reagent, it functions in conjunction with a laboratory instrument, not as a standalone algorithm in the sense of AI.
    • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not available.
    • 8. The sample size for the training set: Not available. This is a reagent, not typically "trained" in the AI sense.
    • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not available.

    To get the requested information, one would need to refer to the original 510(k) submission document (K971467) itself, which would contain the scientific and clinical data supporting the substantial equivalence claim.
