SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls, P/N M425, is a quality control panel consisting of 12 readyto-use, liquid controls, 6 of SPOTFIRE RSP Positive Control (Positive Control), P/N M42638, and 6 of SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Control (Negative Control), P/N M42738, in a single kit box, and a separate kit of 6 additional SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Controls (Negative Control), P/N M42738. The separate kit of SPOTFIRE RSP Negative Control allows and encourages the end user to check for environmental contamination by testing additional negative controls. The Positive Control contains non-infectious surrogate control material; a solution of synthetic RNA transcripts in buffer, stabilizers and preservatives. The RNA in the Positive Control carries RNA segments of all the respiratory and sore throat pathogens detected by the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory (R) Panel, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory (R) Panel Mini, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel, and BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE Respiratory/Sore Throat (R/ST) Panel Mini assays. performed on the BIOFIRE System. SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls are specifically designed for and intended to be used solely with the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R Panel, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R Panel Mini, BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel, and BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini assays on the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE System. The Negative Control contains buffer and preservatives with no RNA. Each liquid control of SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls is processed separately according to the SPOTFIRE Panel assay manufacturer's Instructions for Use for patient samples (nasopharyngeal swabs or throat swabs placed in transport media) obtained from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection or pharyngitis. Engineering drawings, schematics, etc. are not applicable to the device (device is a reagent).

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "SPOTFIRE® RSP Pos & Neg Controls." This document focuses on the regulatory aspects of changing an existing, cleared device (K233611) rather than presenting a detailed study proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for a new device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to populate a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from this document, nor can I describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML-driven medical device, as the device in question is an assayed quality control material for clinical microbiology assays, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool.

The document states:

• "Performance data presented in the predicate 510(k) submission (K233611) has all the required data to support the labeling change to the existing device to include the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini in the intended use for SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls, and the packaging change to combine Positive and Negative controls in a single kit box. No additional performance data are required as the SPOTFIRE RSP Pos & Neg Controls have not been changed, the assay consumables are identical for the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel used to collect original performance data and the SPOTFIRE R Panel Mini. In addition, the targets reported in the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel Mini are a subset of the SPOTFIRE R/ST Panel."

This explicitly states that no new performance study was conducted for this specific submission (K241289) because the changes were considered minor (labeling and packaging, and the new panel is a subset of an already cleared panel). The previous 510(k) (K233611) would contain the original performance data, but that information is not provided in this document.

As a result, I cannot provide details on:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present, as no new performance study was conducted.
2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: Not present.
3. Number of experts used to establish ground truth and qualifications: Not applicable/present.
4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable/present.
5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable, as this is a quality control material, not an AI diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not applicable.
7. Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable/present in this document.
8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable (not an AI/ML device, and no new training/testing).
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document's purpose is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device based on minor changes, not to present novel performance data for a new device.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information, as requested:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Study Information

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

   • Total Test Results: 361 initially, with 10 invalid results that were repeated, leading to 351 valid test results used for performance analysis.
   • Data Provenance:
     • External Study: 232 test results collected from 5 near-patient clinical sites. The document does not specify the country of origin of these sites, but given the FDA submission, it's presumed to be in the USA. This was a prospective study as the sites were asked to follow specific protocols for testing controls during normal operations (e.g., training new operators, new kit shipments, new/repaired instruments).
     • Internal Study: 129 test results collected from MMQCI's facility in Saco, Maine (USA). This was also a prospective study.

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

   • This study evaluates the performance of quality control materials for in vitro laboratory nucleic acid testing. The "ground truth" here is objective: either the control produced the expected positive result (detecting the specified analytes) or the expected negative result (no target analytes detected).
   • Therefore, no human experts (like radiologists) were establishing a subjective "ground truth" diagnosis. The performance is based on whether the automated instrument correctly identifies the presence or absence of the target analytes in the control material as designed.

3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

   • Not applicable in the conventional sense of human expert discrepancies. The performance is measured against the pre-defined composition of the positive and negative control materials.
   • Invalid results (instrument errors, failed internal pouch controls) were re-tested according to BioFire instructions and excluded from the "Percent Correct" analysis. This acts as a form of "adjudication" for technical failures rather than diagnostic disagreement.

4. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

   • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study is not evaluating a diagnostic AI algorithm that assists human readers. It's evaluating the performance of quality control materials for a molecular diagnostic assay. The "users" are laboratory professionals (or non-lab professionals in CLIA waived settings) operating the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE System. The study assessed the reproducibility of the control materials, not the improvement of human readers with AI assistance.

5. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

   • This is not an AI algorithm. The performance evaluation is inherently "standalone" in the sense that the control materials are processed by the BIOFIRE SPOTFIRE System, and the system's output (positive or negative detection of specific analytes) is compared against the known composition of the control. The "human-in-the-loop" would be the technician performing the test, but their role is to follow instructions, not to interpret complex images or data subjectively.

6. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

   • The ground truth is the known, manufactured composition of the control materials.
     • Positive Control: Contains synthetic RNA transcripts for all target respiratory and sore throat pathogens. The ground truth is that these specific targets should be detected by the assay.
     • Negative Control: Contains buffer and preservatives with no RNA targets. The ground truth is that no target analytes should be detected.

7. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

   • Not applicable. This device is a quality control material, not a machine learning or AI model. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of algorithm development. The control materials are manufactured to a specific design.

8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

   • Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model. The ground truth for the control materials is inherent in their design and manufacturing process.
