Results can be read manually or automated utilizing EUROLineScan. This test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of infections with Borrelia burgdorferi and the associated diseases, in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.

The Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi US EUROLINE-WB (IgM) kit is a Western blot assay intended for the qualitative determination of IgM class antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma (K+-EDTA, Li+-heparin, Na+-citrate) samples that have been found positive or equivocal/borderline using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or immunofluorescence assay (IFA) test procedure for Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies. Results can be read manually or automated utilizing EUROLineScan.

This is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the "Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi US EUROLINE-WB (IgM)" device, which is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test. IVDs are not typically "AI" devices as understood in the context of machine learning algorithms for image analysis or other complex data interpretation. Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI-specific studies (e.g., sample size for test set split, MRMC study, training set details) are not applicable to this type of device.

However, I can extract information related to its analytical performance, which is a form of "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" for IVDs.

Device Name: Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi US EUROLINE-WB (IgM)

Indications for Use: The kit is a Western blot assay for qualitative determination of IgM class antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma samples. It is intended for samples that have tested positive or equivocal/borderline by EIA or IFA for Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies. It is used as an aid in the diagnosis of Borrelia burgdorferi infections in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.

Given the nature of an IVD, the "acceptance criteria" generally refer to established performance benchmarks (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, agreement with a reference method) that demonstrate the device is safe and effective for its intended use. The "study" would be the clinical performance evaluation or method comparison study.

Since the provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter, it typically summarizes the decision but does not include the full study report. However, based on the context of IVD submissions, I can infer the type of data that would have been presented for acceptance.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For an IVD like this, acceptance criteria would typically involve demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device or meeting certain performance specifications like sensitivity and specificity against a "gold standard" or well-characterized samples. The exact numerical acceptance criteria are not in this document, but I can describe the type of performance metrics expected.

Note: The specific numerical values for PPA, NPA, and Overall Agreement would be found in the detailed study report submitted with the 510(k), which is not part of this clearance letter. The clearance letter only states that the device was found "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices based on the submitted performance data.

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated in the clearance letter. IVD studies typically involve hundreds to over a thousand samples for clinical performance.
• Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. For a US FDA submission, data often includes samples from diverse geographic regions within the US, and sometimes international samples if relevant to the intended use population. It's highly likely to be retrospective (using archived, characterized samples) but could include prospective samples as well.

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

• Number of Experts/Qualifications: This concept of "number of experts" for ground truth is generally not applicable in the same way for an IVD diagnostic kit that measures antibodies. The "ground truth" for such a device is established by:
  • Clinical Diagnosis: Patient's diagnosis by a physician based on clinical symptoms, history, and other laboratory tests.
  • Reference Tests: Results from established, FDA-cleared/approved predicate devices or a panel of standard reference tests (e.g., PCR, culture, or a combination of multiple serological tests).
  • Well-Characterized Sample Panels: Samples from patient cohorts definitively diagnosed as positive or negative for the condition being tested, confirmed by multiple methods.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Adjudication Method: Not applicable in the traditional sense for an IVD like this. The "ground truth" is determined by the methods described in point 3, not by expert consensus on image interpretation. If there were discrepancies between the new device and the reference method, these would be investigated, but not typically "adjudicated" by experts in the sense of image review.

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 is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit for antibody detection, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device or an AI human-in-the-loop system. The device itself performs the detection (manually or with an automated reader, EUROLineScan), and the result is interpreted. There are no human "readers" whose performance is being improved by "AI assistance" in the context of this device.

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

• Yes, this is essentially a standalone device. The device itself (the Western blot assay) generates a result (presence/absence of specific IgM bands), which can be read manually or automatically by EUROLineScan. This is the "algorithm only" performance for the assay itself. The performance provided in the 510(k) submission would represent the standalone performance of the test. While a human might manually interpret the bands, the core performance metrics are about the assay's ability to correctly identify antibodies, not a human's ability to interpret an image aided by AI.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Type of Ground Truth: Most likely a combination of:
  • Clinical Diagnosis: Based on physician assessment, patient history, and clinical presentation of Lyme disease.
  • Reference Laboratory Testing: Results from established, often predicate, serological assays (e.g., EIA/IFA followed by another Western Blot) and potentially other confirmatory tests (though less common for Borrelia serology).
  • Well-characterized Patient Samples/Panels: Samples obtained from individuals with confirmed Lyme disease and healthy controls, often with long-standing clinical diagnoses and/or multiple confirmatory tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not Applicable in the context of machine learning algorithms. For an IVD kit like this, there isn't a "training set" in the sense of data used to train a machine learning model. The device performance characteristics are established through analytical validation and clinical performance studies on distinct panels of samples.

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

• Not Applicable. See point 8. The "ground truth" for validating the device's performance (the "test set" in ML terms) would be established as described in point 7. For the development of the assay itself (e.g., selecting antigens, optimizing reagents), manufacturers use internal development panels, but these are not referred to as "training sets" with "ground truth" in the machine learning sense for regulatory submissions of IVDs.

Ask a specific question about this device

The EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgM) is intended for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to West Nile virus in human serum and plasma (K+EDTA, Li+-heparin). This test is intended as an aid in the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with meningitis/encephalitis, in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Positive results must be confirmed by the plaque reduction test (PRNT) or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease.

The assay characteristics have not been established for testing cord blood, neonates, prenatal screening, and general population screening of patients without symptoms of meningoencephalitis. This assay is not FDA cleared or approved for testing blood or plasma donors.

Warning: Cross-reactivity with IgM to Dengue virus, Malarialanti-Plasmodium falciparum and Parvovirus B19 has been observed with the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgM). Reactive results must be reported with a caution statement regarding possible IgM cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses.

Patient serum or plasma samples are diluted 1:101 in sample buffer and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow IgG/RF separation. 100 ul of each diluted patient sample and pre-diluted controls and calibrator are added to the antigen coated microtiter wells and incubated for 60 minutes at +37°C. After incubation the microtiter well strips are washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove unbound antibodies and 100 ul of the anti-human IgM enzyme conjugate reagent is added to each microtiter well. After an additional 30 minutes incubation at room temperature, the microtiter wells are again washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove any unbound enzyme conjugate and 100 ul of the chromogen substrate is added. The strips are incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and 100 ul stop solution is added. The microtiter placed in an ELISA reader and read at a wavelength of 450 nm and a reference wavelength of between 620 nm and 650 nm within 30 minutes.

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgM):

Note: This document describes an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, not a typical AI/ML device. Therefore, the concepts of "test set," "training set," "experts to establish ground truth," "adjudication method," and "MRMC comparative effectiveness study" do not directly apply in the same way they would to an AI-powered image analysis or diagnostic tool. Instead, the performance is evaluated against a predicate device and/or a reference standard like PRNT (Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test), and clinical studies involve comparisons of the device's results with these established methods.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for this device, being a diagnostic test, are generally based on sensitivity and specificity relative to a reference standard or a predicate device. The document explicitly states the ranges for these measures.

This test is intended as an aid in the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with meningitis encephalitis, in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Positive results must be confirmed by the plaque reduction test (PRNT) or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease.

The assay characteristics have not been established for testing cord blood, neonates, prenatal screening, and general population screening of patients without symptoms of meningoencephalitis. This assay is not FDA cleared or approved for testing blood or plasma donors.

Warning: Cross-reactivity with IgG to Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika and Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) viruses has been observed with the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgG). Reactive results must be reported with a caution statement regarding possible IgG cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses.

Patient samples are diluted 1:101 in sample buffer, 100 ul of each diluted patient sample and pre-diluted controls and the calibrator are added to the antigen coated microtiter wells and incubated for 60 minutes at +37°C. After incubation the microtiter well strips are washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove unbound antibodies and 100 ul of the anti-human IgG enzyme conjugate reagent is added to each microtiter well. After an additional 30-minutes incubation at room temperature, the microtiter wells are again washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove any unbound enzyme conjugate and 100 ul of the chromogen substrate is added. The strips are incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and 100 ul stop solution is added. The microtiter plates are placed in an ELISA reader and read at a wavelength of 450 nm and a reference wavelength of between 620 nm and 650 nm within 30 minutes.

The provided text describes the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgG) device, which is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay. Therefore, the questions related to AI/MRMC studies, human-in-the-loop performance, and expert ground truth are not applicable in the context of this device. The acceptance criteria and study data are presented for the assay's analytical and clinical performance.

Here's the breakdown of the information based on the provided document:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgG) are primarily based on its analytical performance (repeatability, reproducibility, specificity) and clinical performance (sensitivity and specificity compared to a predicate device and PRNT).

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

The "test set" here refers to the clinical samples used for performance validation against a predicate device and ground truth (PRNT).

• Clinical Study I (Predicate Comparison and PRNT Confirmation):
  • Sample Size: 152 samples for predicate comparison. Of these, 45 were presumptive positives by the predicate, and 27 of these were further tested by PRNT.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective collection from hospitals and clinics across the US in 2015.
• Clinical Study II (Predicate Comparison):
  • Sample Size: 401 serum samples.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective collection from a clinical laboratory in the midwest (US).
• Clinical Study III (PRNT Comparison):
  • Sample Size: 295 serum samples.
  • Data Provenance: Retrospective collection in cooperation with the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Berlin, Germany, including 200 samples from major outbreaks of West Nile fever in South Africa in 1974 and 1984.
• Analytical Specificity/Cross-Reactivity Study:
  • Sample Size: 910 serologically characterized seropositive specimens.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implies diverse sources given the range of conditions.
• Assay Cut-off Determination:
  • Sample Size: 18 sera from clinically characterized positive WNV patients and 150 sera from normal healthy blood donors.
  • Data Provenance: Implied clinical and healthy populations, source not specified.
• Expected Values (US Studies):
  • Sample Size: 553 samples.
  • Data Provenance: Prospectively collected from US population.
• Matrix Comparison:
  • Sample Size: 20 paired samples (serum, EDTA plasma, Li-heparin plasma), created by spiking 5 different sets of normal blood donor samples with 5 different positive serum samples.
  • Data Provenance: Normal blood donors (source not specified), spiked with serum samples (source not specified if human/animal).

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

• This is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert reads for ground truth in the same way.
• The ground truth for the clinical studies was established by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT), which is considered the gold standard for serological confirmation of West Nile Virus infection.
• For the comparison studies, a legally marketed predicate device (Focus Diagnostics West Nile Virus IgG DxSelect™ (K031953)) also served as a comparative "ground truth" or reference, as is common in 510(k) submissions for substantial equivalence.
• The document does not mention the use of human experts or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth for data used in the clinical studies. The ground truth relies on established laboratory tests (PRNT) or comparison to an already FDA-cleared device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• No explicit "adjudication method" in the sense of multiple human readers resolving discrepancies is mentioned for this IVD device.
• For Clinical Study I, it states: "Average of three results for each clinical specimen tested at three sites was considered to calculate the positive percent and negative percent agreement between the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgG) vs the predicate assay." This indicates internal averaging/calculation, not expert adjudication.
• The ground truth for discordant results was resolved by PRNT where applicable (e.g., of the 45 presumptive positives by predicate in Study I, 27 were sent for PRNT).

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 is an in vitro diagnostic (ELISA) device, not an AI or imaging device that uses human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

• Not applicable. This is an automated ELISA assay. Its "standalone performance" is what is described in the analytical and clinical studies. There is no human-in-the-loop component in the interpretation of the assay results, other than a lab technician running the test and reporting the quantitative ratio/index, which then falls into predefined qualitative categories (negative, borderline, positive).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The types of ground truth used were primarily:

• Reference Laboratory Assay: Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) is considered the gold standard for confirming West Nile Virus infection. (Used in Clinical Study I and III).
• Predicate Device Comparison: The Focus Diagnostics West Nile Virus IgG DxSelect™ (K031953), an already legally marketed device, served as a reference standard for comparison in Clinical Study I and II to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
• Serological Characterization: For the cross-reactivity study, specimens were "serologically characterized," implying prior established diagnostic results for the various pathogens.
• Clinically Characterized Patients: For the initial assay cut-off determination, samples were from "clinically characterized positive West Nile virus patients" and "normal healthy blood donors," suggesting a clinical diagnosis or healthy status served as the ground truth for defining the cut-off.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• This is an IVD kit, not a machine learning model, so there isn't a "training set" in the typical AI sense.
• However, the assay cut-off determination can be seen as analogous to a model's calibration or training phase. For this, 18 sera from clinically characterized WNV positive patients and 150 sera from normal healthy blood donors were used to determine the optimal OD cut-off and borderline range.

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

• As noted above, for the assay cut-off determination (analogous to training/calibration):
  • The "positive" ground truth was established by using "clinically characterized positive West Nile virus patients." Further details about how these patients were characterized (e.g., by PRNT, by symptoms, by other diagnostics) are not provided in this document but are assumed to be based on an established clinical diagnosis of WNV infection.
  • The "negative" ground truth was established by using "normal healthy blood donors from a non-endemic region." These individuals are assumed to be free of WNV infection based on their health status and origin from a non-endemic area.

Ask a specific question about this device

The EUROIMMUN Anti-Glutamate receptor (type NMDA) IFA is intended for the qualitative determination of autoantibodies against glutamate receptor (type NMDA) in human serum. It is used as an aid in the diagnosis of anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) autoimmune encephalitis in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings.

The EUROIMMUN IFA is an assay for standardized detection of anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) antibodies utilized in each laboratories familiar with indirect immunofluorescence. The non-transfected cells are used as a control to simplify differentiation of potential co-existing and non-specific reactivity such as ANA. The test kit consists of slides, which contain BIOCHIPs coated with glutamate receptor (type NMDA) transfected cells and non-transfected cells, fluorescein-labelled anti-human IgG (goat), a positive control for transforced volle and non new and of a negative control, a salt for preparation of PBS, Tween 20, embedding medium, cover glasses and an instruction booklet.

The acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets them are detailed below based on the provided text.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for sensitivity and specificity. However, based on the studies presented, we can infer the desired clinical performance. The reported device performance is directly from the clinical studies.

Note: The "acceptance criteria (inferred)" are based on typical expectations for diagnostic assays intended to aid in diagnosis. The document does not provide specific numerical targets prior to presenting the results.

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

The 'test set' for clinical performance was composed of samples across four clinical studies. The data provenance includes both retrospective and prospective elements.

• Study 1: 47 serum samples (29 anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) encephalitis, 18 other encephalopathies) from the US (Prospective, though the specific collection method isn't detailed, it implies collection for diagnostic purposes). Additionally, 100 adult healthy blood donors from Germany (Prospective/Retrospective, general population screening).
• Study 2: 2990 patients screened for encephalitis of unknown origin; 6 samples ultimately tested (6 women) from Germany (Retrospective).
• Study 3: 8 samples from patients with anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) encephalitis from Germany (Prospective/Retrospective, not explicitly stated).
• Study 4: 9 samples from patients with anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) encephalitis and 13 from patients with other encephalopathies from Italy (Prospective/Retrospective, not explicitly stated).

Combined Test Set Sample Sizes:

• Positive cases (anti-NMDA encephalitis): 29 + 5 (from 6) + 8 + 9 = 51 (overall 52 based on table summary, possibly one case from study 2 was reclassified as positive, or a rounding difference)
• Negative cases (other encephalopathies/healthy donors): 18 + 100 + 13 = 131

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

The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications who established the ground truth for the test set. It mentions "patients diagnosed with anti-gluatamate receptor (type NMDA) encephalitis" and "controls with other encephalopathies," implying established clinical diagnoses. It also states the device is used "in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings," suggesting that the ground truth patients were diagnosed by a combination of clinical specialists (e.g., neurologists) and potentially other laboratory tests, but the specific expert review process for the test set is not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

The document does not describe a formal adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing the ground truth of the test set cases. The cases are described as "patients diagnosed with," implying that their diagnosis served as the ground truth.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance:

The document describes an indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (IFA) which is a laboratory test requiring visual interpretation by a human. However, it does not involve AI or a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study of human readers with or without AI assistance. The device is not an AI-based diagnostic tool for image analysis as described in the context of improving human reader performance.

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

Not applicable. The device is an IFA kit, which inherently requires human interpretation of fluorescence under a microscope. It is not an algorithm that performs standalone analysis.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used for the clinical studies appears to be based on clinical diagnosis of anti-glutamate receptor (type NMDA) encephalitis or other encephalopathies. For healthy controls, the implied ground truth is the absence of the disease. The phrase "patients diagnosed with" suggests a consensus among clinicians and potentially other diagnostic tests, but not explicitly pathology or a specific "outcomes data" in the sense of long-term follow-up beyond diagnosis.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

The document does not describe a specific "training set" for the device, as it is a laboratory assay (IFA kit) rather than a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a separate training phase with labeled data. The development of the assay likely involved internal optimization and validation, but this is not referred to as a "training set" in the context of device performance testing.

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

Not applicable, as a distinct training set (in the context of machine learning) is not described for this IFA kit.
