The Lipid Panel Test Strips are intended to measure cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer. Lipid measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipoprotein metabolism and lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. This test is designed for use by healthcare professionals and individuals for personal use at home.

The Lipid Panel Test Strips are intended to measure cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer. The test strips are intended to be used by healthcare professionals and individuals at home to measure three blood analytes: cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. Triglycerides measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.

The Lipid Panel Test Strips are dry phase test strips that are constructed from a plastic strip holder that holds chemically treated membranes. When whole blood is placed on the test strip, the membranes first separate and isolate the red blood cells, allowing the serum/plasma to flow to the reaction membrane and react to produce a color change. The Lipid Panel Test Strips are for in vitro diagnostic use with a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) reflectance photometer.

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "PTS PANELS Lipid Panel Test Strips." However, it is not a study report and therefore does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment studies.

The document primarily focuses on:

• Device Description: What the device is and how it generally works (dry phase test strips, reflectance photometer).
• Intended Use: What it's designed to measure (cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and who can use it (healthcare professionals and individuals at home).
• Predicate Device Comparison: Similarities and differences with previously cleared devices.
• Regulatory Information: Classification, product codes, and the FDA's clearance letter.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them based on the provided text. The information you're asking for (acceptance criteria, performance data, sample sizes, expert details, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types for training and test sets) is typically found in the "Performance Data" or "Clinical Studies" sections of a 510(k) submission, which are not present in this summary.

The document states it's a "summary of safety and effectiveness information," but does not detail the specific studies conducted to demonstrate that safety and effectiveness.

The Lipid Panel Test Strips are intended to measure cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in whole blood on a BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer. The BioScanner Plus (CardioChek brand) analyzer is intended to be used by healthcare professionals to measure blood analytes on a test strip. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipoprotein metabolism disorders. Lipoprotein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders (such as diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis, and various liver and renal diseases. Triglycerides measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellius, nephrosis, liver obstruction, other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text, using the requested formatting:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). It mentions "scale-up of the process to manufacture larger lots of the test strips" and "increase in manufacturing experience," which led to improved precision. However, specific details about the data collected for this precision study are not provided.

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

Not applicable. This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test strip that measures analytes directly. Ground truth would typically be established through reference laboratory methods rather than expert consensus on images or clinical assessments. The document does not mention the use of experts for establishing ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As noted above, ground truth for IVD devices is typically established through a reference method, not expert adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test strip and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human readers.

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

Yes, if we interpret "standalone" as the performance of the device itself (the test strip and analyzer) without human interpretive input for the measurement. The study focuses on the "precision performance" of the test strips, which is an intrinsic characteristic of the device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The type of "ground truth" used would be the actual concentrations of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in the whole blood samples, as determined by a reference method (though the specific reference method is not stated, it is implied for an IVD device measuring these analytes). The study measured the precision of the device against these true values.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is a dry phase test strip that relies on chemical reactions for measurement, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set. The "improvements" noted are due to manufacturing processes.

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

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