The ISE Electrodes on the RX Imola can be used for measurement of the electrolytes sodium, potassium and chloride in serum and urine and for use in diagnosis and treatment of electrolyte imbalance. For in vitro diagnostic use only.

RX imola is an automated clinical chemistry analyzer complete with dedicated analyzer software. Software functions of the analyzer include the facility to interact with a host computer for direct download of test method selection details for individual samples. A barcode system is used for the rapid identification of patient samples, reagents and QC samples, In addition, the RX imola is fitted with an Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) module that operates in conjunction with specific electrodes for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of Sodium, Potassium and Chloride in serum and urine.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (ISE Electrodes) and outlines the performance characteristics to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It focuses on the analytical performance of the device rather than a clinical study involving human patients or complex AI algorithms. Therefore, many of the requested points related to multi-reader multi-case studies, expert ground truth establishment for AI, and training/test set sample sizes for AI are not applicable to this type of submission.

The document details the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria for analytical performance.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For this type of device (Ion Selective Electrodes for measuring common electrolytes), the "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by demonstrating that the new modified device performs equivalently to the existing cleared predicate device and meets established analytical performance guidelines (e.g., CLSI standards for precision, linearity, and interference). The document implicitly defines acceptance by stating "The acceptance criteria ... was met" or "The results... support the claimed measuring ranges."

Here's a summary of the performance demonstrated based on the provided text:

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

The "test set" in this context refers to the samples used for analytical validation studies.

• Precision Studies:
  • Serum: Two levels of control material and at least five human serum samples for each analyte (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride). Tested twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days, two replicates per run. This totals 80 data points per measured sample/control (20 days * 2 runs/day * 2 replicates/run).
  • Urine: Two levels of urine controls and at least five urine patient pools for each analyte. Tested twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days, two replicates per run. This totals 80 data points per measured sample/control.
• Linearity Studies: 9 levels of samples used for each analyte and specimen type.
• Method Comparison (Correlation):
  • Serum: 105 patient serum samples for Sodium, 109 for Potassium, 104 for Chloride.
  • Urine: 72 patient urine samples for Sodium, 84 for Potassium, 90 for Chloride.
• Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the patient samples. The studies were conducted in-house by Randox Laboratories Limited, which is based in the United Kingdom. The studies were retrospective in the sense that they used collected samples to validate the device's performance, not in the sense of analyzing pre-existing patient data outside a controlled study.

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

• N/A. This is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for measuring electrolyte concentrations using Ion Selective Electrodes. The "ground truth" for analytical performance studies is established by quantitative measurements using reference methods or by the known concentrations of controls/calibrators, not by human expert interpretation like radiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• N/A. As this is an analytical performance study for an IVD device, there is no human adjudication method required. Performance is based on quantitative measurements.

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

• N/A. This is not an AI-based device, nor is it a device that involves human "readers" interpreting images or clinical data. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

• Partially Applicable / Context Dependent. The device (ISE Electrodes on the RX Imola) performs measurements automatically. The performance data presented (precision, linearity, interference, method comparison) is the "standalone" performance of the device as it directly measures the analytes, without requiring human "interpretation" of the analytical result itself beyond standard lab procedures. There is no separate algorithm being tested in the AI sense.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Reference Method / Known Concentration:
  • For precision and linearity studies, ground truth is established by using control materials and prepared linearity samples with known, validated concentrations or statistically derived consensus values from repeated measurements.
  • For method comparison, the "ground truth" is effectively the measurements obtained from the predicate device (the RX imola with the previous ISE unit, K052914), against which the new device (RX imola with new ISE electrodes, K230890) is correlated to demonstrate equivalence.
  • For interference studies, known interfering substances are added at specific concentrations to samples to evaluate their effect on the measurement.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• N/A (in the AI/machine learning sense). This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning. It's a chemical measurement system with established electrochemical principles. Standard calibration and quality control procedures are part of its normal operation, but these are not "training sets" in the AI development sense.

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

• N/A (in the AI/machine learning sense). As there is no AI training set, this question is not applicable. The device's operational "knowledge" comes from its manufacturing specifications, calibration protocols using reference materials, and the underlying physical and chemical principles of ion-selective electrodes.

The Randox Calcium (Ca) device is intended for the quantitative in vitro determination in serum, plasma and urine. This product is suitable for use on the RX series analyzer, RX daytona plus. Such measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disease, a variety of bone diseases and chronic renal failure.

The Randox Calcium (Ca) kit consists of a ready to use reagent solution.

The Randox Calcium (Ca) device is an in vitro diagnostic intended for the quantitative determination of calcium concentration in serum, plasma, and urine on the RX series analyzer RX daytona plus. The device demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the ADVIA Chemistry Calcium_2 (CA_2) Method (K083386), based on performance characteristics including precision, linearity, analytical specificity, and method comparison.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Note: Acceptance criteria are often implied by context (e.g., successful demonstration of performance consistent with CLSI guidelines, or by direct comparison with predicate device performance which sets an implicit standard). For precision, specific numerical thresholds are listed based on the demonstrated performance of the predicate device or generally accepted clinical chemistry standards. For linearity and method comparison, r ≥ 0.99 and a linear regression close to y=x are standard and implied criteria for equivalence. For analytical specificity, a deviation of < ±10% is explicitly stated as the sponsor's acceptance criterion.

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

• Precision (Serum): Not explicitly stated, but "two levels of controls, calibration material and human serum samples for Calcium" were tested across two lots. Each run included two replicates per sample, tested twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days. This implies a significant number of measurements for each level/lot (e.g., 2 samples * 2 replicates * 2 times/day * 20 days = 160 data points per lot/level).
• Precision (Urine): Similar to serum precision, "two levels of urine controls, calibration material and human urine samples for Calcium" were tested across two lots, with two replicates per run, twice per day for 20 non-consecutive days.
• Linearity (Serum): 11 levels of samples were prepared.
• Linearity (Urine): 11 levels of samples were prepared.
• Analytical Specificity (Serum): Not explicitly stated, but interferent levels were tested at Calcium concentrations of 8 mg/dL and 12 mg/dL.
• Analytical Specificity (Urine): Not explicitly stated, but interferent levels were tested at Calcium concentrations of 9 mg/dL and 22.8 mg/dL.
• Method Comparison (Serum): 111 serum patient samples.
• Method Comparison (Urine): 100 urine patient samples.
• Matrix Comparison (Serum vs Plasma): 47 matched patient sample pairs.

Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the patient samples. The studies are described as analytical performance studies, meaning they are likely retrospective in the sense that samples were collected and then analyzed for the study.

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 for quantitative biochemical measurement. The "ground truth" for such devices is established by reference methods or validated comparative methods, not typically by expert interpretation of images or clinical assessments in the same way as, for example, an imaging AI device. For the method comparison studies, the predicate device (ADVIA Chemistry Calcium_2 (CA_2) Method) serves as the reference for comparison, which itself is a cleared IVD. Therefore, "experts" in the sense of clinicians or radiologists establishing ground truth are not applicable here.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. The performance is evaluated using quantitative measurements against recognized analytical standards and comparisons with a predicate device, not through adjudication of expert interpretations.

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-powered diagnostic imaging or decision-support system that involves human readers interpreting cases.

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

Yes, the studies presented are all standalone performance evaluations of the Randox Calcium (Ca) assay and the RX daytona plus analyzer. This device provides a quantitative measurement and does not involve human-in-the-loop interpretation once the sample is processed by the instrument.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The ground truth or reference standard for this type of device is established through:

• Reference materials/calibrators: used for precision and linearity studies.
• Comparative method (Predicate Device): For method comparison, the results generated by the predicate device (ADVIA Chemistry Calcium_2 (CA_2) Method) on patient samples served as the comparative "truth" or reference.
• Spiked samples: For analytical specificity studies, known concentrations of interferents were added to samples with known calcium concentrations.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is a chemical assay, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The "training" of the assay involves the development and optimization of the reagent formulation and instrument parameters, which is a chemical and engineering process, not a data-driven training process in the AI context.

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

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm. The performance of the chemical assay is established through rigorous analytical validation studies as described above.

The Randox RX daytona plus magnesium (Mg) test system is intended for the quantitative in vitro determination of magnesium concentration in serum, urine and lithium heparinized plasma. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high levels of magnesium).

The Magnesium kit assay consists of a ready to use reagent solution.

The document describes the analytical performance characteristics of the Randox RX daytona plus magnesium (Mg) test system, which is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic device for measuring magnesium levels in serum, urine, and lithium heparinized plasma. The study aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Siemens Magnesium (MG) test system (K991576).

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

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

Please note that the document does not explicitly state predetermined acceptance criteria for all performance characteristics. Instead, it often describes the methodology and then presents the results. For some sections, like Analytical Specificity, an acceptance criterion is mentioned. I will infer or state the presented performance for others.

The studies described in the document, demonstrating good precision (low CVs), linearity over the stated ranges, low detection limits, minimal interference from common analytes, and strong correlation with the predicate device, collectively prove that the device meets the implicit acceptance criteria for analytical performance of a magnesium test system.

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

• Precision Test Set: Not explicitly stated as "test set" in the context of ground truth, but for the precision study:

  • Serum: 5 different levels of unaltered human serum samples, spiked or diluted. Each level run in 80 replicates (2 replicates per run for 20 non-consecutive days, across 2 systems). So, a total of 5 levels * 80 replicates = 400 measurements for serum samples, plus control samples.
  • Urine: 3 levels of human urine supplemented with magnesium chloride, plus one "LIN" sample (normal urine pool spiked). Each level run in 80 replicates. So, a total of 4 levels * 80 replicates = 320 measurements for urine samples, plus control samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). The use of "unaltered human serum samples" and "human urine supplemented with magnesium chloride" suggests real human samples, and the study design implies a prospective collection for the purpose of the study.

• Linearity Test Set:

  • Serum & Urine: 11 levels of samples, created by mixing low and high serum/urine pools. Each level run in 5 replicates. This means 11 levels * 5 replicates = 55 measurements per matrix (serum/urine).
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The samples were prepared from "low and high serum pools," indicating human samples were used as a base.

• Detection Limit Test Set:

  • Serum & Urine: 4 low-level samples for LoD/LoB/LoQ. Based on 240 determinations.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated.

• Analytical Specificity / Interference Test Set:

  • Serum & Urine: Not specific sample sizes per interferent listed, but analytes tested at specific magnesium concentrations (e.g., 3.89 mg/dl and 6.32 mg/dl for serum; 4.87mg/dl and 24.33mg/dl for urine). Interferent levels tested are specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The samples were likely prepared in-house by spiking interferents into human control matrices.

• Method Comparison Test Set:

  • Serum: 108 serum patient samples.
  • Urine: 108 urine patient samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). These are "patient samples," which typically implies retrospective or prospectively collected clinical samples.

• Matrix Comparison Test Set:

  • Serum vs. Lithium Heparin Plasma: A minimum of 42 matched patient sample pairs (serum and lithium heparin plasma).
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. These are "patient samples," implying clinical samples.

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 device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) for quantitative measurement of magnesium, not an imaging device or a device requiring human interpretation for "ground truth" in the typical sense of expert consensus. The ground truth for such devices is established through reference methods, traceability to certified reference materials, and the inherent analytical measurement of the analyte.

• Reference Methods: The predicate device itself (Siemens Magnesium (MG)) serves as the "reference" for method comparison.
• Traceability: The Randox Calibration Serum Level 3 is stated to be traceable to Magnesium reference material NIST 909b. This NIST standard is the ultimate "ground truth" for magnesium concentration.
• No human experts are mentioned or typically involved in establishing the "ground truth" for the concentration values in these types of analytical studies. The "ground truth" is analytical, not interpretive.

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

Not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are used in studies where human readers provide interpretations and discrepancies need to be resolved. This document describes analytical performance studies of a laboratory diagnostic assay, where quantitative results are compared to known concentrations or a predicate device. There is no human interpretation involved in generating the "ground truth" for the concentrations themselves, nor in interpreting the results of the device in a way that would require adjudication.

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) device for quantitative measurement of magnesium, not an AI-powered imaging device or a device requiring human readers/interpreters. Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted, and there's no concept of human readers improving with or without AI assistance for this type of device.

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

This is an analytical instrument and reagent system. By its nature, its performance is "standalone" in generating a quantitative result. The device (Randox RX daytona plus system with Randox Magnesium reagents) processes samples and provides a numerical magnesium concentration. There is no "human-in-the-loop" in the sense of modifying or assisting the algorithmic output of the concentration measurement. The operator's role is to load samples and reagents and initiate the automated analysis, and then review the instrument's quantitative output.

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

The ground truth for the analytical performance studies is established by:

• Reference materials/standards: Traceability to NIST 909b for calibrators, and the use of control materials with known concentrations.
• Known sample preparations: For linearity and detection limit studies, samples are often prepared by spiking or diluting to known target concentrations.
• Predicate device: For method comparison, the results obtained from the new device are compared to results obtained from a legally marketed predicate device (Siemens Magnesium (MG) on Advia 1800), which itself is established as accurate.

There is no expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data used to establish the "ground truth" for magnesium concentration values in these studies.

8. The sample size for the training set

The provided document describes studies for demonstrating analytical performance and substantial equivalence to a predicate device. These are validation studies, not machine learning or AI development studies that typically involve "training sets." Therefore, the concept of a training set as understood in AI/ML is not applicable here, and no training set sample size is mentioned.

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

As there is no "training set" in the context of AI/ML, this question is not applicable. The ground truth for the validation of the device (as discussed in point 7) is established through analytical traceability, known preparations, and comparison to an established predicate device.

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):

The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth. These are in vitro diagnostic tests, where the "ground truth" for method comparison and similar studies is typically established by the results from a legally marketed (predicate) device or established analytical methods. For reference intervals, the ground truth is based on established clinical ranges and validated literature.

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

Not applicable. This document describes analytical performance studies for an in vitro diagnostic device, not studies involving human readers or subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

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 study, not an AI-assisted human reader study.

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

Yes, all presented performance data (Precision, Linearity, Stability, Detection Limits, Interference, Method Comparison, Matrix Comparison) are for the device (LCO2-2) operating in a standalone, automated manner on an RX Daytona plus system, without human intervention in the analytical measurement workflow.

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

• Method Comparison: The predicate device (Siemens ADVIA Chemistry Carbon Dioxide Liquid (CO2 L) on an ADVIA 1650 system) serves as the reference or "ground truth" for comparison.
• Traceability (Calibrator): The calibrator is traceable to Sodium Carbonate NIST reference material 351.
• Reference Interval Verification: Referenced from literature (Tietz NW. Clinical Guide to Laboratory Tests. 3rd ed.) and verified against human serum from normal donors.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This document details the analytical validation of an in vitro diagnostic reagent, not the development or training of a machine learning algorithm.

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

Not applicable. As this is not an AI/machine learning device, there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. The "ground truth" for the calibrators and predicate device is established through their respective validation processes and traceability to reference materials/methods.

This looks like a 510(k) summary for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, specifically for a Direct HDL Cholesterol (HDL) test system. Since IVD devices, especially Class I, do not typically involve AI or machine learning components as described in the prompt's questions, many of the requested fields (such as "number of experts used to establish ground truth", "adjudication method", "MRMC study", "standalone performance", "training set size", and "how ground truth for training set was established") are not applicable.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding acceptance criteria and performance from the document.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

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

• Precision/Reproducibility:
  • Control material and human serum samples: 80 determinations per control level/serum pool (2 replicates/run x 2 runs/day x 20 days).
  • Provenance: "unaltered human serum samples" and "control material." The documentation does not specify the country of origin of the human serum samples. The study design (testing over 20 non-consecutive days) suggests it's a prospective study for data collection, but the samples themselves could be retrospective.
• Linearity/Reportable Range:
  • Samples: 11 levels, each run in replicates of five.
  • Provenance: Low and high serum pool samples. Not specified for country of origin or retrospective/prospective.
• Detection Limit:
  • Samples: 240 determinations (4 low-level samples) for LoD.
  • Provenance: Not specified for country of origin or retrospective/prospective.
• Analytical Specificity (Interference):
  • Samples: Spiked samples at 34.8 mg/dL and 70 mg/dL HDL Cholesterol concentrations. The number of individual samples is not explicitly stated.
  • Provenance: Not specified for country of origin or retrospective/prospective.
• Method Comparison:
  • Patient Samples: 103 serum patient samples.
  • Provenance: Not specified for country of origin or retrospective/prospective.
• Matrix Comparison:
  • Patient Samples: 45 matched patient sample pairs (serum and lithium heparin plasma).
  • Provenance: Not specified for country of origin or retrospective/prospective.

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

• Not applicable as this is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for quantitative biochemical analysis, not an AI/image-based diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. Ground truth is typically established by reference methods or validated laboratory measurements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

• Not applicable for this type of IVD device.

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:

• Not applicable as this is an IVD device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic system involving human readers.

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

• This device is a standalone in the sense that its performance characteristics (precision, linearity, interference, method comparison) are evaluated for the device itself as an assay system. There is no "algorithm only" vs. "human-in-the-loop" distinction because it's a quantitative chemical assay.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

• For precision, linearity, and detection limit: The "ground truth" is implied to be the actual concentration of HDL Cholesterol, which is determined by the preparation of controls, spiked samples, and dilutions, or by the inherent properties of the samples themselves, and measured by the device and predicate.
• For analytical specificity (interference): The ground truth is the presence/absence of interferents at specific concentrations and their impact on the HDL measurement.
• For method comparison: The "ground truth" for comparison is the measurement obtained from the predicate device (Randox Laboratories Ltd, Direct HDL Cholesterol reagent, K982341). This represents a legally marketed device against which equivalence is demonstrated.
• For matrix comparison: The ground truth for comparison is the measurement obtained from serum samples when comparing to plasma samples.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

• Not applicable in the context of machine learning/AI where "training set" has a specific meaning. For an IVD, the development and optimization of the reagent formulation and assay parameters would be an analogous "training" phase, but it doesn't involve a distinct "training set" of patient data in the AI sense.

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

• Not applicable for the same reasons as above. The "ground truth" for developing the assay itself would be established through chemical principles, optimization experiments, and validation against known standards and reference materials.
