Not Found

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the Duopath® Verotoxins GLISA test. This type of document primarily confirms that a new medical device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, meaning it has the same intended use and technological characteristics (or different ones that do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness).

Crucially, this document does not contain the detailed study results, acceptance criteria, or performance data that would typically be found in a full submission with clinical or analytical performance studies. The clearance letter references the 510(k) submission (K031367) which would contain this information, but the submission itself is not provided here.

Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from the given text.

Here's what can be inferred and what cannot be provided:

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

• Cannot provide. The document states "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification... and have determined the device is substantially equivalent...". This implies that the FDA's acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence were met, and the performance data within the submission supported this. However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds) and the reported performance values are not present in this letter.

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

• Cannot provide. This information would be found in the detailed study report within the 510(k) submission, not in the clearance letter.

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)

• Cannot provide. This information is not typically part of the FDA clearance letter, but rather in the study design documentation. For an in vitro diagnostic like this, the "ground truth" often comes from a reference culture method or a highly characterized strain rather than human expert interpretation of images.

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

• Cannot provide. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies where human interpretation of results has variability, especially in imaging. For a GLISA test (an immunoassay), the "ground truth" is typically established via laboratory methods, not expert adjudication in the same sense as an imaging study.

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 / Cannot provide. MRMC studies are specific to imaging devices where human readers interpret medical images, sometimes aided by AI. The Duopath® Verotoxins GLISA test is an in vitro diagnostic test, not an imaging device, and does not involve AI assistance for human image interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study or AI assistance effect size is not relevant to this device.

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

• Not applicable / Cannot provide. As an in vitro diagnostic test, the "algorithm only" concept (as it pertains to AI/software) doesn't directly apply. The GLISA test is a standalone diagnostic kit with a defined protocol and reagents. Its performance is evaluated on its ability to detect specific analytes. Whether the interpretation of that test involves a human 'in the loop' is a separate question, but not in the same sense as an AI algorithm processing data.

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

• Inferred based on device type: For an in vitro diagnostic test like the Duopath® Verotoxins GLISA, the most common type of ground truth would be reference culture methods, PCR, or highly characterized bacterial strains known to produce (or not produce) Verotoxins. This would be established by microbiological laboratory techniques, not expert consensus or pathology in the clinical sense. The specific methodology would be detailed in the 510(k) submission.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not applicable / Cannot provide. This device is an in vitro diagnostic kit, not a machine learning or AI model that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. Its design and validation rely on analytical studies (e.g., specificity, sensitivity, cross-reactivity) using known samples, not on a machine learning training paradigm.

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

• Not applicable / Cannot provide. (See point 8).

In Summary:

The provided document is a regulatory clearance letter. It confirms the FDA's determination of substantial equivalence for the Duopath® Verotoxins GLISA test. It does not include the detailed performance study results, acceptance criteria, sample sizes, or methodologies for ground truth establishment, which would be part of the full 510(k) submission.

The Ammonia assay is used for the quantitation of ammonia in human plasma.

The Ethyl Alcohol Clinical Standard Solutions are intended for use in the calibration and standardization of instruments and methods for the determination of ethyl alcohol in whole blood or serum. The Standard Solutions may also be used for validation of the laboratory's routine standards and/or control materials.

Ammonia is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of ammonia in human plasma. The Ammonia assay is a clinical chemistry assay which utilizes the amination of x-ketoglutarate by ammonia (NH3) along with the concomitant oxidation of NHzDPH. These reactions, catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), produce glutamate and NH2DP*. The oxidation of NHxDPH produces a decrease in absorbance at 340 nm which is directly proportional to the concentration of ammonia in the sample.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text, focusing on the Ammonia assay (K981926):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

The document does not specify the exact sample size used for the method comparison or precision studies. It mentions "Comparative performance studies were conducted" and "Precision studies were conducted using three levels of control material," but no specific number of patient samples or replicates are given.

The data provenance is not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). Since it's a 510(k) submission to the FDA, it is highly likely the studies were conducted in the US, but this is not confirmed in the text. The studies appear to be prospective as performance characteristics were "conducted" using the new device and compared to a predicate.

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

This information is not applicable to this type of in vitro diagnostic device (IVD) study. The ground truth for quantitative assays like ammonia is established by the reference method (the predicate device in this case) or by well-characterized control materials, not by expert consensus on interpretations.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used in clinical imaging or diagnostic studies where human interpretation of results is involved, and there's a need to resolve discrepancies. For this quantitative IVD, the comparison is direct numerical measurement against a predicate.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

This is not applicable. MRMC studies are used for assessing the performance of human readers, often aided by AI, in interpreting diagnostic images or data. The Ammonia assay is a fully automated quantitative measurement, not requiring human interpretation of visual or complex data in the same way.

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

Yes, the studies described are standalone performance studies for the Ammonia assay. The device directly measures ammonia concentrations without human intervention in the interpretive process. The "performance characteristics" outlined (method comparison, precision, linearity, sensitivity) all evaluate the algorithmic and analytical performance of the device itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used is the performance of the predicate device, the A-GENT® Ammonia assay on the ABBOTT SPECTRUM® Series II™ System. For precision, well-characterized control materials at three different levels were used as ground truth.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information on a separate training set. For in vitro diagnostic assays of this nature, especially those based on established chemical reactions, there isn't typically a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The assay is developed and validated based on the underlying chemical principles and established analytical performance characteristics.

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

As no "training set" is described for this IVD, this information is not applicable. The development of such an assay relies on well-understood chemical principles and rigorous analytical validation rather than data-driven machine learning training.
