The Access Thyroglobulin Antibody II assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of thyroglobulin antibody levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems. The measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease, nontoxic goiter, and Graves' disease.

The Access Thyroqlobulin Antibody II assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of thyroglobulin antibody levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems. The measurement of thyroid autoantibodies may aid in the diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease, nontoxic goiter, and Graves' disease.

The Access Thyroglobulin Antibody II assay is a sequential two-step immunoenzymatic ("sandwich") assay. A sample is added to a reaction vessel with paramagnetic particles coated with the thyroglobulin protein. The TgAb in the sample binds to the thyroglobulin coated on the particles. After incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. The thyroglobulin-alkaline phosphatase conjugate is added and binds to the TgAb.

After second incubation, materials bound to the solid phase are held in a magnetic field while unbound materials are washed away. Then, the chemiluminescent substrate is added to the vessel and light generated by the reaction is measured with a luminometer. The light production is directly proportional to the concentration of analyte in the sample. Analyte concentration is automatically determined from a stored calibration.

Therefore, this question is not applicable in the context of this device.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable for a quantitative immunoassay. The comparison is statistical analysis of measured values against a predicate device or expected values from reference materials.

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 not an AI/ML device involving human readers or interpretation.

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

The device is an automated immunoassay system. The performance studies ("Method Comparison," "Imprecision," "Reproducibility," "Linearity," "Detection Capability") represent the standalone performance of the assay and instrument without human interpretation of raw signals influencing the final quantitative result.

7. The type of ground truth used

For this immunoassay device, the "ground truth" implicitly refers to:

• Reference measurements from the predicate device (Access 2 Immunoassay System): Used for the method comparison study.
• Known concentrations/reference materials: Used to assess imprecision, linearity, and detection capabilities (LoB, LoD, LoQ) against expected values.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a traditional diagnostic device, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

The change does not impact or change the other components that are used with this reagent pack. The modification does not affect the indications of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.

A description of the reagent pack is provided below.

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for the Access Thyroglobulin assay. It does not describe an AI/ML-based medical device. Therefore, many of the requested criteria about AI/ML studies (such as MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for training sets, number of experts for test set ground truth, etc.) are not applicable to this submission.

The acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets them are related to the analytical performance of an immunoassay, not a software algorithm.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, addressing the applicable points and noting where information is not present or not relevant to AI/ML:

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

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through a matrix comparison study for a new sample type (plasma in addition to serum). The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the statistical analyses and acceptable ranges for slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient in the matrix comparison, aiming for agreement between the new sample type and the established serum sample type.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Study Design for Matrix Comparison):
For the Matrix Comparison study, the implicit acceptance criteria are that the Passing-Bablok linear regression results (slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient) demonstrate substantial equivalence between the new sample types (Li-heparin plasma, Na-heparin plasma) and serum. While explicit numeric acceptance criteria are not stated, typically for such comparisons, a slope close to 1, an intercept close to 0, and a high correlation coefficient (e.g., >0.97) are expected within their confidence intervals.

Reported Device Performance (Matrix Comparison):

Other Performance Claims Transferred from Predicate:
The document states that claims for "method comparison, imprecision, reproducibility, high-dose hook effect, linearity, dilution recovery, detection capability and analytical specificity are being transferred from file K220972." This implies these studies were performed and met acceptance criteria for the predicate device, and the current modification (addition of plasma sample type) does not invalidate them. Explicit tables for these are not in the provided text.

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

• Test Set Sample Size: For the Matrix Comparison study, 45 matched sets of serum and plasma samples were used for each comparison (Li-heparin plasma vs Serum, and Na-heparin plasma vs Serum). The minimum specified was 40 matched sets.
• Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the study was retrospective or prospective. Given it's a clinical lab device, the samples would typically be from clinical settings.

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

This is not applicable as the device is an immunoassay, not an AI/ML device relying on human interpretation of images or other complex data for ground truth. The "ground truth" here is the quantitative measurement of thyroglobulin by the predicate method (serum measurement) against which the new sample type (plasma measurement) is compared. The reference values are analytical measurements, not expert consensus.

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

Not applicable for an immunoassay analytical validation. The ground truth (serum concentration) is established by the assay itself, not by human 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 not an AI/ML device, and there are no "human readers" interpreting images assisted by AI.

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

Yes, in a sense. The "standalone" performance for this device refers to its analytical performance as a laboratory test. The Matrix Comparison study assesses the device's capability to accurately measure thyroglobulin in plasma samples compared to serum samples, without human interpretive input affecting the measurement itself. The results shown in point 1 demonstrate this "standalone" analytical performance.

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

The ground truth for the matrix comparison study was the quantitative thyroglobulin concentration measured in human serum using the previously cleared Access Thyroglobulin assay. The new sample types (plasma) were compared to these established serum values.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The assay's parameters are determined through reagent development and analytical validation, not machine learning training.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Access Thyroglobulin Antibody II Assay, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Study Details:

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

   • Methods Comparison: 832 values were used for comparison. The document does not explicitly state the country of origin, but given the applicant is in the US and the clinical studies for expected values were in the US, it is highly likely this data is from the United States. The study appears to be retrospective as it compares the new device with a "commercially available enzyme immunoassay kit" which implies existing samples.
   • Imprecision, Dilution Recovery, Analytical Sensitivity, Analytical Specificity: Sample sizes are not explicitly given for each of these analytical studies, but details like "multiple dilutions," "20 replicates of the zero calibrator," and "sera samples obtained in the United States" are mentioned. For Expected Values, 137 screened samples and an additional 519 normal samples were collected in the United States. These appear to be prospective collections based on specific screening criteria.

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

   • This device is an immunoassay for quantitative determination of antibody levels. The "ground truth" for the analytical studies (imprecision, linearity, sensitivity, specificity) is based on the inherent properties of the assay and reference materials, not expert interpretation.
   • For the Methods Comparison, the "ground truth" was established by a "commercially available enzyme immunoassay kit." This implicitly means the established performance of that predicate device determined the reference. No human experts are mentioned for establishing ground truth in this context.
   • For Expected Values, the "ground truth" for "normal" was defined by specific clinical criteria (serum TSH levels, no personal/family history of thyroid disease, absence of non-thyroid autoimmune disease). This relies on clinical diagnosis and laboratory results rather than expert consensus on individual cases for the test set.

3. Adjudication method for the test set:

   • Not applicable as this is an immunoassay device, and the "ground truth" in the analytical studies is based on established laboratory methods, reference ranges, or a comparator device's results, not on expert adjudication of individual case results.

4. 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 device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay for quantitative measurement, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation device that would involve human readers.

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

   • Yes, the performance characteristics (imprecision, dilution recovery, analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity, methods comparison) reflect the standalone performance of the Access Thyroglobulin Antibody II Assay as an automated immunoassay system. There is no human-in-the-loop component described for its primary function of quantitative determination.

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

   • For analytical studies:
     • Imprecision, Dilution Recovery, Analytical Sensitivity, Analytical Specificity: Ground truth is based on the intrinsic properties of the assay system, known standards, and controlled experimental conditions typical for IVD assay validation.
     • Methods Comparison: Ground truth was established by the results from a commercially available enzyme immunoassay kit (the predicate device).
   • For clinical studies (Expected Values): Ground truth for "normal" was established by clinical criteria (TSH levels, medical history) rather than a single type of definitive outcome or pathology for each individual.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • The document describes the validation of the device, not the development of an algorithm that requires a "training set." This is an immunoassay, not a machine learning model. Therefore, the concept of a training set in the AI/ML sense is not applicable. The studies described are for validation of the assay's performance.

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

   • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this immunoassay.

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

The document states that "method comparison, precision and analytical sensitivity studies were conducted." However, it does not provide any details on the sample sizes used for these studies or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

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

This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The device is an immunoassay for quantitative determination of a biomarker, not an imaging or diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. The ground truth for such assays would typically be defined by reference methods or established laboratory standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not applicable as the study design does not involve human readers or interpretations 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

This information is not applicable. This is a laboratory immunoassay device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers.

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

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The "Supporting Data" section indicates that "method comparison, precision and analytical sensitivity studies were conducted" for the Access Thyroglobulin assay on the DxI system to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the Access 2 system. This refers to the analytical performance of the instrument and reagents as a standalone system.

7. The type of ground truth used

The document does not explicitly state the "type of ground truth" in terms of clinical outcomes or pathology. For an immunoassay seeking substantial equivalence for a new instrument platform, the "ground truth" or reference for comparison would typically be the performance of the legally marketed predicate device (Access® Thyroglobulin Reagents on the Access® Immunoassay Systems on the Access 2 system). The studies would aim to show that the new platform produces equivalent analytical results (method comparison, precision, analytical sensitivity) to the predicate.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The device is an immunoassay system, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for such a system involves calibration using specific calibrator materials mentioned in the device description.

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

This information is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8. The "ground truth" for calibration would be established by the manufacturer based on certified reference materials or established laboratory standards for the calibrators.
