BIOSIGN FLU A + B, STATUS FLU A & B
The BioSign Flu A+B test is an in vitro rapid qualitative test that detects influenza type A and type B nucleoprotein antigens directly from nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, and nasopharyngeal aspirate/wash specimens obtained from patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections. Negative test results are presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by viral culture. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. The test is intended for professional and laboratory use. Performance characteristics for influenza were established during the 2007-2009 influenza seasons when influenza A viruses A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 (H1N1), A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/California/07/2009 (H1N1), A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2), A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2), and influenza B viruses B/Ohio/01/2005, B/Florida/4/2006, B/Brisbane/60/2008 were the predominant influenza viruses in circulation according to the Flu Activity & Surveillance report by CDC. Performance characteristics may vary against other emerging influenza viruses. If infection with a novel influenza virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL+3 facility is available to receive and culture specimens.
The modification presented in this 510(k) is the addition of influenza A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1) and influenza A/Anhui/01/2005 (H5N1) along with their respective analytical sensitivity concentrations, to the Analytical Inclusivity section of the package insert. The avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses, A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1) and A/Anhui/01/2005 (H5N1) were obtained from CDC as a non-infectious form with known titer. Analytical sensitivity is reported as the lowest dilution/concentration of the virus that the BioSign Flu A+B Test is able to detect.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a modification to an existing influenza test device, the BioSign Flu A+B. The modification involves adding two specific avian influenza A (H5N1) strains and their analytical sensitivity concentrations to the package insert.
Here's an analysis based on your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in the typical sense of numerical thresholds (e.g., sensitivity > X%, specificity > Y%). Instead, the acceptance criteria for this specific modification are implicit: the device must be able to detect the new H5N1 strains at a certain analytical sensitivity, and this information needs to be added to the product labeling.
The reported device performance for the new H5N1 strains is their "analytical sensitivity concentrations," which are reported as "the lowest dilution/concentration of the virus that the BioSign Flu A+B Test is able to detect." However, the exact numerical concentrations for A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1) and A/Anhui/01/2005 (H5N1) are not provided in this specific 510(k) summary, only that they were determined.
Since explicit acceptance criteria are not given, and only the type of performance metric is mentioned for the modification, a direct table comparing explicit acceptance criteria to reported performance for the modification cannot be fully generated from this text. The underlying assumption is that demonstrating any detectable analytical sensitivity for the new strains is sufficient for their inclusion in the labeling, given this is primarily an information update rather than a redesign or a change to the core diagnostic performance for general influenza A/B.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
For the specific modification concerning the H5N1 strains:
- Sample size: Not explicitly stated. The text mentions that the viruses were obtained in a non-infectious form with a known titer, and "analytical sensitivity is reported as the lowest dilution/concentration of the virus that the BioSign Flu A+B Test is able to detect." This implies a series of dilutions were tested, but the number of replicates or different samples tested at each dilution is not specified.
- Data provenance:
- Country of origin: The H5N1 viruses were obtained from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), which is a US-based agency. The viruses themselves are A/Vietnam/1194/2004 and A/Anhui/01/2005.
- Retrospective or prospective: This study is best described as an analytical study or in-vitro technical validation using prepared samples, rather than a clinical study with retrospective or prospective patient data. The viruses were obtained and then tested in a controlled laboratory setting.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable for this type of analytical validation study. The "ground truth" for the H5N1 strains was their known presence and concentration (titer) as determined by the CDC. This is a technical standard rather than an expert interpretation.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. This was an analytical sensitivity study, not a clinical study involving human interpretation or adjudication of diagnostic results. The "result" (detection or non-detection) at various dilutions would be objectively observed, not adjudicated by a panel.
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/CAD device. It is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) rapid test for influenza. There are no human readers in the context of an MRMC study and no AI assistance involved.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The device itself performs the detection. The analytical sensitivity study evaluates the device's inherent ability to detect the target analytes.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The ground truth for the H5N1 strains was defined by the known titer/concentration of the non-infectious viral material provided by the CDC. This is essentially a "reference standard" or "analytical standard" rather than a clinical ground truth like pathology or expert consensus.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is an IVD rapid test. There is no machine learning or AI model involved that would require a "training set." The device's performance is based on its biochemical reactions.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

BIOSIGN FLU A+B
The BioSign® Flu A+B test is an in vitro rapid qualitative test that detects influenza type A and type B antigens directly from nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, and nasopharyngcal aspirate/wash specimens obtained from patient with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections. A negative test result is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by viral culture. Negative results do not preclude influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions. The test is intended for professional and laboratory use.
BioSign® Flu A+B is an immuno-chromatographic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of influenza A and B. The test device has two test lines, thereby allowing the separate identification of type A and/or type B viral antigens from the same specimen.
In the test procedure, a specimen is collected and placed into the Extraction Well of the test device containing extraction solution for one minute, during which time antigen is extracted from disrupted virus particles. The test device is then raised, tapped and laid back down onto a level surface to allow the solution in the Extraction Well to migrate through the pads containing lyophilized detector antibodies conjugated to gold dye and then through the test membrane. If influenza antigens are present in the specimen, they will react with anti-influenza antibody coupled to gold dye particles, migrate through the membrane as antigen-antibody-dye complexes, bind to the immobilized anti-influenza antibody on the membrane, and generate a colored line in the Test line position (A and/or B). The rest of the sample and unbound/bound dye complexes continue to migrate to the Control line position, where antibody to the antiinfluenza antibody is immobilized, and anti-influenza antibody-unbound/bound dye complexes form the Control line (internal procedural control).
Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary, extracting the requested information:
The device under review is the BioSign® Flu A+B / Status™ Flu A & B, an immuno-chromatographic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of influenza A and B antigens.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for this device are implicitly set by the reported performance (sensitivity and specificity) when compared against viral culture as the reference method. The document presents performance for different sample types (nasopharyngeal aspirate, nasopharyngeal swab, nasal swab).
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Flu B (Sensitivity) | - | 82.4% (95% CI: 59.0-93.8%) | - |
Flu B (Specificity) | - | - | 88.3% (95% CI: 84.4-91.3%) |
Note: The document does not explicitly state numerical "acceptance criteria" thresholds, but rather reports the observed performance and implies these values were sufficient for regulatory clearance. The wide confidence intervals in some cases suggest that the performance might vary.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- Total Patients: 862
- Nasopharyngeal Aspirate: 253 cases
- Nasopharyngeal Sample: 251 cases
- Nasal Swab Sample: 358 cases
(Note: The sum of individual sample types is 862, matching the total number of patients, indicating these might be overlapping or distinct subsets of samples from the same patient pool, or simply different sample types evaluated from the overall patient population.) - Archived Samples: 80 samples for both Flu A and Flu B verification (Columbia NY Presbyterian Hospital).
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: USA (samples collected at 5 sites in the USA).
- Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective clinical study, with additional testing on "Archived Samples" which would be considered retrospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish the ground truth or their qualifications. The ground truth method was viral culture, and it's common for laboratory professionals to perform and interpret viral cultures, but no details on their expertise are provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The primary reference method for initial comparison was viral culture. For samples that produced discrepant results between the BioSign® Flu A+B test and viral culture, a third, more definitive method was used for resolution: proFLU plus by Prodesse (real-time RT-PCR, or PCR). This constitutes an adjudication method, where ambiguous cases are resolved by a higher-tier test. The document refers to the results from the PCR as "further analyzed" or used to identify cases that were "positive by both BioSign and PCR" or "negative by both BioSign and PCR".
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This study design is typically used for image-based diagnostic aids where human readers interpret results with and without AI assistance to assess the impact of AI on reader performance. The BioSign® Flu A+B is a rapid diagnostic test, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
Yes, a standalone performance study was done for the device. The reported sensitivity and specificity values directly reflect the performance of the BioSign® Flu A+B device itself, without any human interpretation adjustments beyond standard operation and reading of a rapid diagnostic test. The entire clinical study section, including the performance tables, represents the standalone performance of the device against the ground truth.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The type of ground truth used was primarily viral culture, which is a laboratory-based method for identifying and growing viruses. For discrepant results, real-time RT-PCR (proFLU plus by Prodesse) was used as a confirmatory or adjudicating ground truth.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" or its sample size. This type of device (rapid diagnostic test) is typically developed and optimized during its R&D phase using various sample sets, but the clinical study described is primarily for validation/testing of the finalized device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no explicit training set is described, the method for establishing ground truth for a training set (if one existed in the R&D phase) is not provided. The ground truth for the clinical test set was established by viral culture (and PCR for discrepants), as described in point 7.

BIOSIGN CENTRAL STATION
The BioSign™ Central Station is an accessory to nulti-parameter patient monitors (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information system and is indicated for use by health care professionals with those non-pediatric high dependency care patients for whom multi-parameter patient monitoring has been routine.
The BioSign 146 Central Station provides the clinician with a patient status index (BioSign™ Index) based on a weighted average of five vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The BioSign™ index is a single measure of the patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. BioSign™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring.
The BioSign™ Central Station displays BioSign indices for multiple patients.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
BioSign™ Central Station is a software accessory to standard multiple parameter physiological patient monitors (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information systems. It operates on a standard PC, or personal computer.
BioSign™ is a software device that through advanced signal processing can combine physiological signals in order to produce a single index (BioSign index) representation of patient condition.
BioSign™ is a computerized analysis system that can accept multiple channels of physiological data (for example heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure and oxygen saturation as inputs). Through advanced signal processing, BioSign can identify changes in patient status.
The provided 510(k) summary for the BioSign™ Central Station discusses design verification and design validation but does not provide specific acceptance criteria or a detailed study report that proves the device meets those criteria.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting what's present and what's missing:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The document states:
- "Design verification testing of the BioSign™ Central Station hardware and software against the specified requirements has been conducted and the BioSign™ device has been found to meet the specifications."
- "Design validation testing of the BioSign™ index model has been conducted and concluded that device specifications conformed with user needs and intended use."
However, the specific acceptance criteria (e.g., performance metrics, thresholds for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or correlation) and the reported device performance metrics are NOT provided in this summary. The document broadly states that the device "meets the specifications" and "conformed with user needs," but offers no quantitative data.
Detailed Analysis of Study Information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Specifics NOT provided in document) | Reported Device Performance (Specifics NOT provided in document) |
---|---|
No specific quantitative acceptance criteria are detailed in the provided text. The document broadly refers to "specified requirements" and "user needs and intended use." | No specific quantitative performance metrics are detailed in the provided text. The document states the device "has been found to meet the specifications" and "conformed with user needs." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text.
- Data Provenance: Not specified in the provided text. The device is said to be based on a "model derived from historic clinical data" (referring to the predicate device, BioSign™ K053112), but no specifics are given for the BioSign™ Central Station's validation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not specified.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
- No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned in the provided summary. This device is an accessory that provides an index; it doesn't involve human readers interpreting images, so an MRMC study would be out of scope for its function.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- The document states "Design validation testing of the BioSign™ index model has been conducted and concluded that device specifications conformed with user needs and intended use." This implies an assessment of the algorithm's performance. However, no specific details of this standalone performance, metrics, or study design are provided. The device calculates a "BioSign™ index" as a "single measure of a patient's condition."
7. The type of ground truth used
- The summary mentions the BioSign™ Index is based on "a model derived from historic clinical data." This suggests that the ground truth for establishing the "normality" model was based on historic clinical data and potentially clinical outcomes or expert labels within that data. However, how the ground truth for the validation test set was established is not explicitly stated.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample Size: Not specified. The predicate device's model was "derived from historic clinical data," but no numbers are given for the volume of this data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- The ground truth for the model is described as being "derived from historic clinical data." This implies that the 'normality' model and the weighting of the five vital signs were established by analyzing historical patient data, presumably labeled with patient states or outcomes. The precise method of how ground truth was established within this "historic clinical data" (e.g., physician diagnosis, pathology, specific vital sign thresholds indicating certain states) is not detailed.
Summary of Missing Information:
The 510(k) summary provides a high-level overview of design verification and validation, but it significantly lacks specific, quantitative details regarding:
- Acceptance criteria: What performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, reliability measures) did the device need to achieve?
- Device performance results: What were the quantitative results from the verification and validation studies?
- Study design details: Sample sizes for test and training sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment specifics, and expert qualifications.
This level of detail is typically found in more comprehensive study reports submitted to the FDA, rather than the summary provided here.

BioSign™ provides the clinician with a trend graph of the patient status index based on a weighted average of five vital signs namely heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. The patient status index is a single measure of the patient's condition and represents how different the patient's vital signs are with respect to normality. BioSign™ is an adjunct to and is not intended to replace vital signs monitoring.
BioSign™ is a software accessory to standard multiple parameter physiological patient monitors (bedside or ambulatory) or clinical information systems. It operates on a standard medical grade computer.
BioSign™ is a software device embedded in a standard medical grade computer that through advanced signal processing can combine physiological signals in order to produce a single graph representation of patient condition.
BioSign™ is a computerized analysis system that can accept multiple channels of physiological data (for example heart rate, respiratory rate, temple viauncis of pressure and oxygen saturation as inputs). Through advanced signal procession, BioSign can identify changes in patient status.
The provided document describes the BioSign™ device, its indications for use, and its substantial equivalence to other devices. However, the document does not contain specific acceptance criteria, detailed study designs, or performance metrics from a formal clinical study that would allow for a comprehensive description of acceptance criteria and how a study proves the device meets those criteria.
The document mentions "Design verification" and "Design validation" but only provides generic statements about their conclusions. It does not provide the quantitative performance criteria or the results of studies against those criteria.
Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from the provided text.
Here's an analysis of what can be extracted and what information is missing:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Hypothetical, as not explicitly stated in document) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Device Specifications Conform to User Needs and Intended Use (Inferred from "Design validation") | "Design validation testing of the BioSign™ patient status index model has been conducted and concluded that device specifications conforms with user needs and intended use." |
Hardware and Software Meet Specified Requirements (Inferred from "Design verification") | "Design verification testing of the BioSign™ hardware and software against the specified requirements has been conducted and the BioSign™ device has been found to meet the specifications." |
Electrical Safety Compliance | "BioSign™ systems comply with BS EN 60601-1-1:2001, 'Safety requirements for medical electrical systems.'" |
Accuracy/Reliability of Patient Status Index (Missing) | Not specified or quantified. The document states it produces a "single graph representation of patient condition" and identifies "changes in patient status" but doesn't quantify its accuracy or performance in doing so. |
Sensitivity/Specificity in Identifying Status Changes (Missing) | Not specified or quantified. |
User Interface Usability/Effectiveness (Missing) | Not specified. |
Missing Information in the Document: The document does not provide specific acceptance criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, agreement with a gold standard) for the BioSign™ patient status index. It only states that design validation and verification were performed and concluded positively.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified.
- Data Provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective): Not specified. The document vaguely refers to "historic clinical data" in the context of substantial equivalence to another device (Sonicaid System 8002) but does not link this directly to the BioSign™ device's own performance testing.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Adjudication Method: Not specified.
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
- The document does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study where human readers' performance with and without AI assistance was evaluated. The BioSign™ is described as "decision support" and an "adjunct," but no study is detailed to quantify its assistance to clinicians.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- The document mentions "Design validation testing of the BioSign™ patient status index model has been conducted..." which implies an evaluation of the algorithm's performance. However, no specific metrics or study details for this standalone performance are provided. It states the system "can identify changes in patient status" and produces an "index and associated trend graph indicative of the patient's state," but without quantification.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Type of Ground Truth: Not explicitly stated for performance testing. The description of how the BioSign™ model is derived (similar to Sonicaid System 8002) references "a model derived from historic clinical data" and "examination of historical clinical data." This suggests that a form of historical clinical data was used as a basis for establishing "normality" for the patient status index, which could imply expert-defined normal ranges or outcomes from those historical cases. However, no specific ground truth methodology for its own validation study is detailed.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not specified. The document refers to a "model derived from historic clinical data" but does not provide details on the size or characteristics of this data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- How Ground Truth was Established: Not explicitly detailed. The statement "provides decision support to a clinician in the determination of normality based on a model derived from historic clinical data" (in comparison to Sonicaid System 8002 which had criteria established by "examination of historical clinical data") suggests that the "normality" concept for the patient status index was established through analysis of historical physiological data and likely included clinical interpretation or consensus within that historical dataset. No specific methodology (e.g., expert review, outcome correlation for each case) is provided.

BIOSIGN STEAM-24 BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is a steam sterilization monitor designed specifically for biological testing of 121°C, 134°C gravity and pre-vacuum and flash gravity and prevacuum steam sterilization cycles with results available after 24 hours incubation.
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is a self-contained biological indicator designed for biological testing of steam 121°C and 134°C pre-vacuum and gravity and flash steam sterilization cycles. When used to monitor steam cycles, the product is intended to give the user results after 24 hours incubation. The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator contains 10^6 Geobacillus stearothermophilus (nee Bacillus stearothermophilus) spores/carrier. The Biological Indicator is selfcontained with an ampule containing culture medium in the same vial as the spore strip.
Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on acceptance criteria and the study details:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study
The Getinge Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is intended to show results after 24 hours of incubation. The primary acceptance criterion for this modified device over its predicate is improved incubation time while maintaining sterilization effectiveness.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Greater than 97% assurance for 24-hour incubation time (per CDRH Guidelines for incubation time) | "Results provided greater than 97% assurance for 24 hours (incubation time)." |
All steam resistance criteria met, including Survival/Kill and D-value for 121°C and 134°C sterilization cycles (per CDRH Guidelines) | "All steam resistance criteria were met including Survival / Kill and D-values... for 121°C and 134°C." |
(Implied: The Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator is equivalent to the unmodified Biosign BI for monitoring steam sterilization effectiveness.) |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: The document states that "different lots of Biosign Steam-24 were tested." However, no specific number of lots or individual Biological Indicators (BIs) tested is provided.
- Data Provenance: The study was likely conducted internally by Getinge USA, Inc. The data is retrospective in the sense that the testing was performed, and the results were then compiled for the 510(k) submission. The country of origin for the data is implicitly the USA, where Getinge USA, Inc. is located.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. This type of device relies on a physicochemical reaction (spore inactivation) for its function, not subjective expert interpretation. The ground truth is intrinsically linked to the biological viability of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and their known resistance to steam sterilization, coupled with objective observation of growth in the culture medium.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The assessment of spore growth/no growth (which determines positive/negative results) is an objective biological outcome based on a color change or turbidity in the culture medium. There is no mention of subjective interpretation or a need for expert adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- MRMC Study Done: No. An MRMC study is not relevant for this type of device. Biological indicators do not involve human readers interpreting complex imaging or data. Their function is to provide a clear, objective biological result (growth or no growth) indicating successful or failed sterilization.
6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only) Study
- Standalone Study Done: Yes, in effect. The evaluation of the Biosign Steam-24 Biological Indicator's performance (incubation time and steam resistance) is a standalone assessment of the device itself. It operates independently of human interpretation beyond observing the final growth result. There is no "human-in-the-loop" interaction in the function of the BI; it is a direct measurement of sterility conditions.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth is based on biological viability and spore inactivation kinetics. For sterilization, the ground truth is whether the Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, known to be highly resistant to steam, were successfully killed. This is objectively determined by the absence of growth (no color change/turbidity) in the culture medium after incubation. The D-value (Decimal Reduction Time) also represents a quantitative measure of resistance used to establish ground truth for effectiveness.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. Biological indicators are not machine learning algorithms that require a "training set." Their performance is based on established biological principles and physical testing, not data-driven model training.
9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable. As there is no training set for a biological indicator in the machine learning sense, there is no ground truth established for a training set. The performance characteristics (spore count, resistance, incubation time) are inherent properties of the biological system and its design, verified through standardized laboratory testing procedures as outlined by the CDRH Guidelines.
