    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the ADVIA® Centaur automated immunoassay analyzer. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and results as would be found for a new diagnostic device or algorithm.

    Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, and expert involvement is not available within this 510(k) summary. The document highlights the technological characteristics of the device and compares them to its predicate.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text based on your request:


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

    This document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the way typically expected for a clinical performance study. The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use to a predicate device (ADVIA Centaur V2.5). The performance implied is that the new version (V3.0) performs equivalently to the predicate.

    The table in the document compares "Features" of ADVIA Centaur V2.5 (K032525) and ADVIA Centaur V3.0. For almost all features, the entry for V3.0 is "same", implying that the performance related to these features is considered equivalent to the predicate. The only differences mentioned are software enhancements and hardware improvements.

    Feature TypeAcceptance Criteria (Implied for V3.0)Reported Device Performance (ADVIA Centaur V3.0)
    Principles of OperationMust be same as predicate (Chemiluminescence, magnetic-particle solid phase, chemiluminescent label)Same as predicate
    Optical SystemMust be same as predicate (PMT in photon counting mode)Same as predicate
    Temp controlMust be same as predicate (Reactions at 37°C, reagents at 4°C-8°C)Same as predicate
    Dispense SystemMust be same as predicate (Automated pipetting, precision syringes)Same as predicate
    Sample ProbeMust be same as predicate (Air pressure fluid/tip sensing, clog detection)Same as predicate
    Reagent ProbesMust be same as predicate (No level sense, fluid monitoring)Same as predicate
    Reagent and Sample HandlingMust be same as predicate (5 tube racks, 180 samples, 30 reagent positions, refrigeration)Same as predicate
    Test ProcessingMust be same as predicate (Random Access and Batch, continuous operation, throughput optimization)Same as predicate
    Assay ProtocolsMust be same as predicate (Various incubation times and steps)Same as predicate
    Human Interface - Data OutputMust be same as predicate (17" monitor, external printers, LIS, beeper, remote diagnostics)Same as predicate
    Human Interface - Data InputMust be same as predicate (Keyboard, barcode readers, LIS)Same as predicate
    Human Interface - Data AnalysisMust be same as predicate (Automated data reduction)Same as predicate
    QC SoftwareMust be same as predicate (Assay-specific data reduction, stored controls, L-J plotting, statistical enhancements, CCD compatibility)Same as predicate, with added "New Features to QC Functionality"
    SpecimensMust be same as predicate (Serum/plasma, dilutions allowed)Same as predicate
    DisposablesMust be same as predicate (Sample cups, reaction cuvettes, pipette tips, loaded during run)Same as predicate
    ReagentsMust be same as predicate (Solid phase, Acridinium Ester, volume reporting, inventory tracking)Same as predicate
    CalibratorsMust be same as predicate (6-10 point stored, 2-point user, barcode check, lot number storage)Same as predicate
    ControlsMust be same as predicate (Low/mid/high, capability to dilute)Same as predicate
    PhysicalMust be same as predicate (Size, weight, power, ambient temp)Same as predicate
    Laboratory AutomationMust be same as predicate (Software signals for direct sampling from transport system)Same as predicate
    Other User Interface FeaturesMust be same as predicate (Stat interrupt, auto cleaning, GUI, system status, foreign languages, multiple barcode formats, on-line help, system test extended)Same as predicate (with extended system test including slope, offset, dilution, overrange)
    Other Performance FeaturesMust be same as predicate (Throughput: 120-240 tests/hr, Time to First Result: 15-60 min, On-board supplies for 1000 tests)Same as predicate
    SoftwareUnix-based GUI, multiple distributed real-time computing platforms, LIS/LAS communicationSame as predicate, plus "Control Bracketing Software", "Restricted Test Mode", "Transmission of Ratio Component", "Repeat with Replicates", "New Reports"
    Hardware ImprovementsHitachi/Universal rack option, High Resolution Barcode Scanner (LS4000i)Same as predicate (these were present in the predicate V2.5 as well, indicating they were features of K032525)

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

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. 510(k) submissions for automated analyzers like this typically focus on technical specifications and functional equivalence rather than clinical performance studies with specific patient sample test sets unless there's a novel assay or a significant change to existing assays. The comparison is feature-based against the 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)

    This information is not applicable/available. The document does not describe a clinical study requiring ground truth establishment by experts for a test set. This is a submission for an automated immunoassay analyzer, not an imaging device or diagnostic algorithm that relies on expert interpretation of results for ground truth.

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

    This information is not applicable/available. There is no described test set or clinical study 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

    This information is not applicable. The device is an automated immunoassay analyzer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers or interpretation of cases.

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

    The ADVIA® Centaur system is inherently a standalone automated analyzer. Its performance is measured by its ability to accurately and precisely execute immunoassay analysis. The document implicitly supports this by stating it "performs the following functions" (aspirates, dispenses, adds reagents, incubates, separates, measures photon emissions, performs data reduction, collects and maintains data). The comparison to the predicate focuses on its ability to perform these functions similarly ("same").

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

    This information is not applicable/available for the device itself in this context. For immunoassay analyzers, "ground truth" typically refers to the known concentrations of analytes in reference materials (calibrators, controls) or validated reference methods for patient samples, which are used to establish accuracy, precision, and linearity of the assays run on the system. The 510(k) summary does not detail the validation studies for specific assays run on the Centaur. It only states the system uses a "Master Curve and a two-point, user-initiated calibration."

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable/available. This 510(k) submission is for an updated version of an automated immunoassay analyzer, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" in the computational sense.

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

    This information is not applicable/available for the same reason as point 8.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Bayer ADVIA Centaur, an automated immunoassay analyzer. This type of document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on technological characteristics and intended use, rather than conducting new clinical performance studies with acceptance criteria, ground truth, and expert evaluation as would be seen for novel diagnostic devices.

    Therefore, the provided text does not contain the kind of detailed information requested for a clinical study proving a device meets acceptance criteria. Specifically, it lacks:

    • Explicit acceptance criteria: There is no table detailing specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) that the device must meet.
    • A "study" proving acceptance criteria: The document focuses on demonstrating that the ADVIA Centaur is technologically equivalent to its predicate (ACS Centaur V1.0), implying that its performance will be similar, but it does not present a standalone clinical study with an associated test set, ground truth, or expert review.
    • Sample size for test set, data provenance, expert details, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details. These are all elements of a clinical validation study, which is not presented here.

    Based on the provided text, I can only provide the following, which is largely descriptive of the device and its predicate equivalence rather than a performance study:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided 510(k) summary does not include specific acceptance criteria with quantitative performance targets (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision ranges, etc.) for the ADVIA Centaur beyond the general equivalence to the predicate device. The "performance" described is largely a comparison of technological features to the predicate, implying similar performance.

    2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance

    Not applicable. The document describes a substantial equivalence submission, not a clinical performance study with a distinct "test set" in the context of diagnostic accuracy. The data provenance and sample sizes for any underlying validation studies that led to the predicate's original clearance or the ADVIA Centaur's internal verification are not detailed here.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

    Not applicable. This information pertains to a clinical validation study where ground truth is established by experts (e.g., radiologists, pathologists). The 510(k) summary focuses on comparing technical specifications.

    4. Adjudication Method

    Not applicable. This is relevant for expert-adjudicated ground truth in clinical studies.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No. This type of study assesses how AI intervention affects human reader performance. The ADVIA Centaur is an automated immunoassay analyzer, not an AI-powered image analysis or diagnostic aid designed to assist human readers. It performs tests on its own.

    6. Standalone Performance Study

    Yes, implicitly. The very nature of an automated immunoassay analyzer means it operates in a standalone fashion, providing results without direct human intervention in the analytical process. Its "performance" is demonstrated by its technical specifications and equivalence to the predicate, which implies its ability to accurately measure analytes in samples independently. However, specific standalone quantitative performance metrics (e.g., analytical sensitivity, specificity, imprecision, accuracy against a reference method) are not detailed in this summary; they would be found in detailed validation reports or product labeling.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The concept of "ground truth" as typically applied in AI/diagnostic imaging studies (e.g., pathology, outcomes data, expert consensus) is not directly applicable here. For an immunoassay analyzer, the "ground truth" for its analytical performance would be established through:

    • Reference methods: Comparisons to established, highly accurate laboratory methods for measuring analytes.
    • Certified reference materials/standards: Testing samples with known, certified concentrations of the analytes.
    • Clinical correlation: Showing that results from the device correlate well with clinical diagnoses or patient outcomes, although this is more for clinical utility than analytical accuracy.

    This 510(k) summary does not specify which of these were used, nor does it present the results of such studies.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is an immunoassay analyzer and does not utilize a "training set" in the machine learning sense. Its operation is based on established chemiluminescent technology and predefined assay protocols, not trainable AI models.

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

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