The Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) is an in vitro cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) test that combines the results of Lumipulse G B-Amyloid 1-42 and Lumipulse & B-Amyloid 1-40 assays into a ratio of ß-amyloid 1-42 to ß-amyloid 1-40 concentrations using the LUMIPULSE G 1200 System. The Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) is intended to be used in adult patients, aged 55 years and older, presenting with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline.
A test result ≥ 0.073 is a negative result which is consistent with a negative amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan result. A negative result reduces the likelihood that a patient's cognitive impairment is due to AD.
A test result ≤ 0.058 is a positive result which is consistent with a positive amyloid PET scan result. A positive result does not establish a diagnosis of AD or other cognitive disorder.
A test result between 0.059 and 0.072 is considered as a likely positive result as it is more likely consistent with a positive amyloid PET scan result. A likely positive result does not establish a diagnosis of AD or other cognitive disorders and has increased uncertainty in regard to amyloid PET positivity.
The Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) results must be interpreted in conjunction with other patient clinical information .
This test is not intended as a screening or stand-alone diagnostic test.
The Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) is an in vitro cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) test that calculates the ratio of two analytes, Lumipulse G ß-Amyloid 1-42 and Lumipulse & ß-Amyloid 1-40 assays to generate a numeric value between 0.001 to 1.000.
The test system consists of two component assays, Lumipulse & ß-Amyloid 1-42 and the Lumipulse G B-Amyloid 1-40 assay, running on LUMIPULSE G1200 system, and Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) Calculator Tool to calculate the Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40). Lumipulse G B-Amyloid 1-42 and the Lumipulse G B-Amyloid 1-40 assays are packed individually. Results of individual assays have not been assessed to support the intended use except for determination of the Lumipulse G ß-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40).
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Lumipulse G ß-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40)
This document describes the acceptance criteria and the study demonstrating the performance of the Lumipulse G ß-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) device.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The core of the device's utility lies in its ability to predict amyloid PET scan results. The acceptance criteria and reported performance relate to the predictive values of the test for classifying patients as PET positive, likely positive, or negative.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied / Demonstrated) | Reported Device Performance (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Predictive Value for Positive Result (Ratio ≤ 0.058) for PET positivity | High positive predictive value to indicate consistency with a positive amyloid PET scan result, reducing the likelihood of false positives. While not explicitly stated as a numerical threshold, the expectation is for a high percentage to support its aid in AD evaluation and to reduce unnecessary PET scanning. The clinical study results establish the demonstrated performance for this category. | 96.6% (171/177) (92.8% - 98.4%) - This indicates a strong correlation between a positive Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio and a positive amyloid PET scan result. |
| Predictive Value for Likely Positive Result (0.059 ≤ Ratio ≤ 0.072) for PET positivity | A predictive value that indicates a higher likelihood of PET positivity than a negative result but with increased uncertainty, differentiating it from a clear positive or negative. The clinical study results establish the demonstrated performance for this category. | 59.1% (13/22) (38.7% - 66.7%) - This result confirms the "likely positive" interpretation, showing a majority are PET positive but with a wider confidence interval and lower value compared to the "positive" category, reflecting increased uncertainty. |
| Predictive Value for Negative Result (Ratio ≥ 0.073) for PET positivity | High negative predictive value to indicate consistency with a negative amyloid PET scan result, reducing the likelihood that cognitive impairment is due to AD. The clinical study results establish the demonstrated performance for this category. | 16.1% (15/93) (10.0% - 24.9%) - This value represents the likelihood of being PET positive given a negative test result. Conversely, this implies a strong negative predictive value for PET negativity (i.e., (93-15)/93 = 83.9% will be PET negative given a negative test result). |
Note on "Predictive Value for Negative Result (Ratio ≥ 0.073) for PET positivity": The table in the provided text for "Clinical Performance" presents the "Predictive Value %" as (Positive (n) / N), where N is the total for that Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio category. Therefore, for the "Negative" category, "16.1% (15/93)" means that out of 93 patients with a negative Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio, 15 (16.1%) were actually PET positive. This implicitly means that 93 - 15 = 78 (83.9%) were indeed PET negative when the Lumipulse test was negative.
2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: 292 patients.
- Data Provenance: The data for the clinical performance study (test set) was obtained from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) sample bank.
- Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated, but ADNI is a large-scale North American-based research study.
- Retrospective or Prospective: The study utilized "banked CSF samples," indicating a retrospective approach to sample collection for the purpose of this device's validation. However, the PET evaluation was conducted, and the time interval between CSF sampling and PET evaluation was analyzed, suggesting that while samples were banked, their correlation to PET was part of the study design.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: A minimum of three trained independent readers.
- Qualifications of Experts: The experts were "trained independent readers" who were blinded to all other clinical data. Their specific professional qualifications (e.g., radiologist, neurologist) or years of experience are not explicitly stated in the provided text.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: 2+1 adjudication method. The amyloid PET status for each patient was determined by a minimum of three trained independent readers. If the first two readers disagreed, an adjudicator's reading was used.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- Was an MRMC comparative effectiveness study done? No, the provided text does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI assistance versus human readers without AI assistance (i.e., the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance). The device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay that produces a numerical ratio result, not an AI assisting human image interpretation.
6. Standalone Performance Study
- Was a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) done? Yes, the clinical performance study evaluates the performance of the Lumipulse G B-Amyloid Ratio (1-42/1-40) device in isolation against the ground truth (visual amyloid PET read). The device generates a numerical ratio which is then categorized (positive, likely positive, negative) and compared directly to the PET results, without direct human intervention in interpreting the device's output or integrating it into a diagnostic workflow with human readers.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth used was visual amyloid PET scan results. This was determined by "Florbetapir (18F) PET evaluation," with images analyzed by visual read and scored as either amyloid PET positive or amyloid PET negative by trained independent readers with adjudication.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: 235 patients were used to determine the assay cutoff. This group was from the Amsterdam Dementia Cohort (ADC). It is important to note that this was explicitly stated as "distinct from the subjects ... evaluated in the pivotal clinical validation study (test set)."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: For the 235 patients from the Amsterdam Dementia Cohort (ADC) used to determine the assay cutoff, the ground truth was visual amyloid PET scan status.
- PET Tracers Used: Florbetaben (18F), Florbetapir (18F), and Flutemetamol (18F).
- Interpretation: Images were analyzed by visual read and scored as either amyloid PET positive or amyloid PET negative.
- Protocol: CSF collection, processing, and handling were conducted according to a "standardized ADC protocol." A "pre-analytical bridging study was conducted using fresh prospectively collected individual CSF samples" to account for variations between ADC and ADNI protocols.

The Tosoh ST AIA-PACK BNP assay is designed for IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY for the quantitative measurement of BNP in human K2EDTA plasma on Tosoh AIA System analyzers. BNP is used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart failure (HF) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with clinical suspicion of new onset HF, acutely decompensated or exacerbated HF.
The ST AIA-PACK BNP is a two-site immunoenzymometric assay which is performed entirely in the ST AIA-PACK BNP test cups. BNP present in the test sample is bound with monoclonal antibody immobilized on magnetic beads and enzyme-labeled monoclonal antibody. The magnetic beads are washed to remove unbound enzyme-labeled monoclonal antibody and are then incubated with a fluorogenic substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (4MUP). The amount of enzyme-labeled monoclonal antibody that binds to the beads is directly proportional to the BNP concentration in the test sample. A standard curve is constructed, and unknown sample concentrations are calculated using the curve.

Study Details
-
Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the "Supplemental Therapeutic Interference Study." However, the tables comparing the cleared vs. modified device list "Samples (Mean Test Concentrations (U/mL) (n=3))" and "Samples (Mean Control Concentrations (U/mL) (n=3))" for three serum pools. This suggests that for each serum pool, there were likely 3 replicates tested (n=3).
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but given it's an in vitro diagnostic measuring a biomarker, the samples would be human serum/plasma. The document does not mention country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective, though interference studies are typically laboratory-based and prospective using spiked samples or naturally interfering samples.
-
Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications: Not applicable. This study is an interference study for an in vitro diagnostic device measuring a quantitative biomarker (CA 19-9). Ground truth is established by the known concentration of the substance being measured (CA 19-9) and the known concentration of the interferent (Tamoxifen). Expert consensus or pathologist review is not relevant for this type of test.
-
Adjudication Method for the Test Set: Not applicable. This is an interference study for a quantitative assay, not a subjective diagnostic interpretation.
-
If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done: No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for image-based diagnostics where multiple readers interpret cases with and without AI assistance. This document pertains to an in vitro diagnostic assay.
-
If a Standalone Performance Study was done: Yes, a standalone performance study in the form of a "Supplemental Therapeutic Interference Study" was conducted. This study assessed the device's performance (specifically, its susceptibility to Tamoxifen interference) without human interpretation in the loop, by comparing results with and without the interferent to a control.
-
The Type of Ground Truth Used: The ground truth for this interference study is established by:
- The known, pre-established concentrations of CA 19-9 in the serum pools used.
- The known concentration of Tamoxifen added to the samples.
- The "control" measurements (samples without Tamoxifen) serve as the reference for determining the "percent difference."
-
The Sample Size for the Training Set: Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for such an assay is its analytical development and optimization.
-
How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established: Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of in vitro diagnostic device in the context of machine learning. The assay is built on established chemical and immunological principles, with performance characteristics determined through analytical validation studies (like interference studies).

- Expected Values/Reference Range: Population of 213 self-reported healthy individuals.
Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for all patient samples or whether studies were retrospective or prospective, beyond "human serum," "patient serum samples," or "self-reported healthy individuals." The precision studies were conducted at "FDI" (Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. in Malvern, PA, USA) and "across several sites."
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):
Not applicable. This is an immunoassay device for quantitative determination of Procalcitonin (PCT), where the "ground truth" is measured analytically by the device itself or compared to a predicate device. It does not involve human interpretation of images or other subjective data that would require expert consensus for ground truth.

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 device, not an AI/ML device, and does not involve human readers interpreting cases.

Not applicable. This is an in-vitro diagnostic device, not an AI/ML device. The performance data presented are for the analytical device itself.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the analytical performance studies (precision, linearity, detection limits, specificity), the "ground truth" is typically defined by reference materials, spiked samples with known concentrations, or established analytical methods. For method comparison, the predicate device (B.R.A.H.M.S PCT sensitive KRYPTOR®) serves as the comparator. For establishing expected values, the measured PCT levels in a population of "self-reported healthy individuals" are used.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable in the context of AI/ML. For analytical performance, the samples used in the various studies (e.g., 20-day precision, lot-to-lot, site-to-site, linearity, detection limits, interference, cross-reactivity) are referred to as test samples or panels to evaluate the device's accuracy and reliability. There is no concept of a "training set" in the AI/ML sense for this type of IVD device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the AI/ML sense. The analytical performance is established through rigorous testing against reference materials and predicate devices following CLSI guidelines.

For in vitro diagnostic use. Lumipulse G TSH-III is a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) for the quantitative determination of thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) in human serum on the LUMIPULSE G System. Lumipulse GTSHIII is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders.
Lumipulse GTSH-III is an assay system, including a set of immunoassay reagents, for the quantitative measurement of TSH in specimens based on CLEIA technology by a two-step sandwich immunoassay method on the LUMIPULSE G System. TSH in specimens specifically binds to anti-human TSH monoclonal antibody (mouse) on the particles, and antigen-antibody immunocomplexes are formed. The particles are washed and rinsed to remove unbound materials. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP: calf)-labeled anti-human TSH monoclonal antibody (mouse) specifically binds to TSH of the immunocomplexes on the particles, and additional immunocomplexes are formed. The particles are washed and rinsed to remove unbound materials. Substrate Solution is added and mixed with the particles. AMPPD contained in the Substrate Solution is dephosphorylated by the catalysis of ALP indirectly conjugated to particles. Luminescence (at a maximum wavelength of 477 nm) is generated by the cleavage reaction of dephosphorylated AMPPD. The luminescent signal reflects the amount of TSH.
The Lumipulse® G TSH-III Immunoreaction Cartridges is a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) for the quantitative determination of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in human serum on the LUMIPULSE G System. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use, as an aid in the diagnosis of thyroid or pituitary disorders.
The study presented focuses on demonstrating the analytical performance and method comparison of the Lumipulse G TSH-III assay against the predicate device, Abbott ARCHITECT TSH assay, to establish substantial equivalence.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Precision/Reproducibility (20-Day): 5 human serum-based panels, assayed in replicates of two at two separate times of the day for 20 days (n=80 for each sample). The origin of these human serum-based panels is not explicitly stated regarding country or retrospective/prospective nature, but they are described as "human serum-based panels."
- Lot-to-Lot Reproducibility: 3 panels, specific sample size (replicates/days) not explicitly stated but part of a larger precision analysis.
- Site-to-Site Reproducibility: 3 panels (Lot A), specific sample size (replicates/days) not explicitly stated but part of a larger precision analysis.
- Linearity/Assay Reportable Range: High and low sample pools, number of samples not explicitly stated beyond "patient samples."
- Detection Limit (LoB & LoD): Eight low-level specimens tested over 6 weeks using two LUMIPULSE G1200 Systems and two Lumipulse G TSH-III lots, giving 480 determinations for each panel.
- Analytical Specificity: Human serum specimens with TSH concentrations of approximately 0.566, 2.530, and 67.515 ulU/mL, supplemented with potentially interfering compounds.

- Expected values/Reference range: 116 healthy test subjects. Provenance is not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of immunoassay performance study typically does not involve human expert adjudication for ground truth of individual measurements in the same way imaging or diagnostic accuracy studies might. The "ground truth" for the performance characteristics (precision, linearity, detection limits, specificity) is based on the inherent analytical properties of the reference materials, calibrated instruments, and statistical methodologies (e.g., CLSI protocols). For the method comparison, the predicate device (Abbott ARCHITECT TSH) serves as the comparator, and its established performance is implicitly relied upon.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable in the conventional sense. The "ground truth" for analytical performance is derived from well-defined reference materials, established concentrations, and statistical analyses following recognized CLSI protocols. For method comparison, the reference measurements from the predicate device serve as the comparison point.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an automated in vitro diagnostic assay, not an imaging or diagnostic aid that involves human readers interpreting cases with or without AI assistance. Therefore, there is no effect size reported for human readers improving with or without AI assistance.
6. Standalone Performance
Yes, a standalone performance study was done. All performance characteristics (precision, linearity, detection limits, analytical specificity, and method comparison) evaluate the Lumipulse G TSH-III assay's performance as a standalone algorithm/device. The results reported are direct measurements from the LUMIPULSE G System.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Precision/Reproducibility: Based on repeated measurements of samples with established concentrations, and statistical analysis of variability.
- Linearity/Assay Reportable Range: Established using prepared high and low sample pools with known TSH concentrations and assessed by linear regression analysis.
- Detection Limits (LoB, LoD, LoQ/FS): Determined statistically from measurements of very low concentration samples according to CLSI guidelines.
- Analytical Specificity/Cross-reactivity: Determined by measuring samples spiked with known concentrations of interfering or cross-reacting substances.
- Method Comparison: Compared against the measurements obtained from a legally marketed predicate device (Abbott ARCHITECT TSH), which itself has established performance characteristics.
- Traceability of Calibrators: Traceable to the 3rd International Standard, 2003 (code: 81/565) by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document describes performance studies, which are typically validation studies. It does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning model. For a traditional immunoassay, the "training" aspect is more akin to the assay development and optimization process, not a distinct dataset used for machine learning. The calibrators and controls are used for instrument calibration and assay quality control, not as a training set for an AI algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable in the context of an AI training set. For an immunoassay, the "ground truth" for calibrators and controls is established through gravimetric preparation and traceability to international standards (e.g., NIBSC 3rd International Standard for TSH).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This device is a calibrator, not a diagnostic device requiring human interpretation of results. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in the clinical sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) is not applicable here. The "ground truth" or reference values are established through metrological traceability and value assignment protocols.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as this is related to human interpretation and not directly relevant for a calibrator's performance evaluation.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret results, and the AI's impact on their performance is being evaluated. This document describes performance of a calibrator.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Yes, the performance characteristics described (stability, traceability, value assignment, transport simulation) are all standalone performance evaluations of the calibrator product itself. The calibrator's ability to provide accurate and stable calibration values is assessed independently.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the calibrators is established through a combination of:
- Metrological Traceability: Calibrators are traceable to the 1st International Standard, 1997 (code 92/510) provided by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC).
- Gravimetric Preparation: Calibrators are prepared gravimetrically.
- Value Assignment Protocol: Involves provisional value assignment based on measurements using secondary calibrators, then rate-matching and adjusting tertiary calibrators to secondary calibrators.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The concept of a "training set" in the context of an AI/machine learning algorithm is not applicable here. This device is a chemical calibrator for an immunoassay system, not an AI or algorithm that requires training data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The "test set" in this context refers to the samples and calibrator lots used in the stability and value assignment studies.
- Long-Term Stability & Open-Vial/Real-Time Stability:
- Calibrator Lots: 3 lots of reagents were used.
- Calibrator Samples: Lumipulse G Progesterone-N Calibrator 1 and Calibrator 2 were tested in duplicate at each time point for sensitivity.
- Serum Samples (for accuracy and reproducibility): 3 serum samples (concentrations: 3.15 - 24.42 ng/mL) were tested in replicates of 6 at each time point.
- Data Provenance: Fujirebio, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) and Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. (Malvern, PA). The studies are prospective in nature, as they involve monitoring stability over time.
- Value Assignment:
- Replicates for provisional value: 6 replicates for initially assigned provisional value.
- Replicates for assigned value: 10 replicates for primary calibrators and original calibrators over 3 runs on LUMIPULSE G.
- Data Provenance: Implied to be internal studies at Fujirebio.
- Transport Simulation (Tokyo):
- Specific sample count not provided beyond "the concentration of the panel replicates were determined."
- Data Provenance: Fujirebio, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan).
- Transport Simulation (Malvern):
- Calibrators were tested in duplicate, controls in singlicate, and panels in triplicate.
- Data Provenance: Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. (Malvern, PA).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Not Applicable. For a calibrator, the "ground truth" is established through highly controlled gravimetric preparations and traceability to international reference materials (ERM-DA347 and BCR-348R). This process does not involve human experts in the typical sense of interpreting diagnostic images or clinical outcomes. The "experts" would be analytical chemists or metrologists defining the concentration of the progesterone standard.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical studies involving interpretation of results by multiple human readers (e.g., radiologists, pathologists). This document describes the analytical performance and stability of a calibrator, which involves quantitative measurements against predefined criteria, not human interpretation.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
- No. MRMC studies are used to evaluate the impact of a diagnostic device (often AI-based) on human reader performance. This document concerns a calibrator, which is a component used in an in vitro diagnostic assay, not a diagnostic algorithm that assists human interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study was Done
- No. This is not an AI algorithm. The device is a calibrator for an in vitro diagnostic test system (LUMIPULSE G System). The performance studies presented are for the calibrator's stability and accuracy in establishing known concentrations for the assay.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the Progesterone-N Calibrators is established through:
- Metrological Traceability: Directly linked to internationally recognized reference materials (ERM-DA347 and BCR-348R by IRMM).
- Gravimetric Preparation: The calibrators are prepared by precise weighing of progesterone, ≥ 99%, from SIGMA-ALDRICH, dissolved in ethanol and spiked into a buffer.
- Assigned Values: The values are assigned based on measurements on the LUMIPULSE G system, cross-referenced with gravimetrically prepared stock solutions and ensuring the "mean ratio" (of primary to original calibrators) falls within an acceptable range (0.95 - 1.05).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The performance data relates to the physical and chemical properties of the calibrator itself.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this question is not relevant.
