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

    • Precision/Reproducibility:
      • CLSI EP5-A3 Precision: 80 data points per panel member for each analyte (T. gondii, Rubella, CMV) and each sample matrix (Serum, Potassium EDTA, Sodium Heparin, Lithium Heparin). This means 80 samples per specific condition.
      • CLSI EP15-A3 Reproducibility: 120 replicates per panel member (4 replicates x 2 runs x 5 days x 3 sites). There were 6 panel members for each analyte. This equates to 720 samples per analyte across three sites for reproducibility.
    • Cross-Reactivity: At least 10 specimens per potential cross-reactant for each of the three antibody assays.
    • Matrix Comparison: A minimum of 40 sets of paired serum and plasma samples per analyte (N=51 to 60 for each analyte and matrix comparison).
    • Method Comparison (Prospective):
      • 2129 prospective samples in total.
      • ~700 samples per analyte (T. gondii, Rubella, CMV).
      • 200 pregnant women samples for each analyte.
      • Data Provenance: Samples were submitted for T. gondii, Rubella, or CMV testing. These were prospective samples collected at 3 U.S. clinical testing sites.
    • Method Comparison (Retrospective):
      • 210 T. gondii IgM presumptive positive samples (134 female, 76 male).
      • 101 Rubella IgM presumptive positive samples (44 female, 57 male).
      • 213 CMV IgM presumptive positive samples (119 female, 94 male).
      • Data Provenance: Presumed positive banked samples for ToRC IgM. Retrospective.
    • Correlation with CDC Evaluation Panels: 97 samples for T. gondii IgM (CDC Panel). Data provenance from CDC.
    • Seroconversion Testing: Commercially available seroconversion panels for T. gondii, Rubella, and CMV IgM.
    • IgM Specificity: 10 samples for each analyte (T. gondii, Rubella, CMV).

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

    The document does not explicitly mention "experts" in the context of establishing ground truth for the test set. Instead, for clinical performance, the ground truth for comparative studies was established by:

    • Results from commercially available predicate T. gondii, Rubella, and CMV IgM assays.
    • In cases of discrepancy, another FDA-cleared device was used for confirmation (e.g., for CMV IgM method comparison).
    • For the CDC panel, the CDC's characterization of the samples served as the ground truth.

    This implies that the "ground truth" relies on the established performance and regulatory clearance of existing in vitro diagnostic devices and reference panels, rather than expert human interpretation in the way it might for imaging studies. Healthcare professionals running these predicate assays are implied to be qualified clinical laboratory personnel, but no specific number or qualification of individual experts is provided as is typical for AI/imaging ground truth studies.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not describe an adjudication method in the context of human readers reviewing results. For the comparative studies, discrepancies between the new device and the predicate device were investigated using another FDA-cleared device to confirm serological status. This serves as a form of adjudication by a third, independent, and validated method.

    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

    No. This is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device, not an AI for human-in-the-loop performance improvement study. The performance is assessed based on direct assay results (qualitative detection of antibodies), not on human reader performance. Therefore, an MRMC study or calculation of human reader improvement with AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed.

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

    Yes. The entire performance evaluation for the BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgM kit is effectively a "standalone" assessment of the device's ability to qualitatively detect IgM antibodies. The device generates an Antibody Index (AI) result, which is then interpreted against a defined cut-off (e.g., >1.1 AI for positive, <0.9 AI for negative, 0.9-1.1 AI for equivocal). This is an algorithm-only performance in the context of an IVD, as it directly measures analytes in a sample.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The primary ground truth used for method comparison studies was:

    • Results from established, commercially available, and presumably FDA-cleared predicate IVD devices.
    • For specific discrepant results, another FDA-cleared device was used, implying a reliance on a higher standard or independent confirmation through a validated method.
    • For T. gondii IgM, CDC reference sera panels were used, representing a type of reference standard/outcome data (serological status defined by reference lab/panel).
    • Seroconversion panels represent samples with known disease progression/antibody development over time, establishing dynamic ground truth.
    • DTT treatment for IgM specificity provides experimental evidence that the signal is specifically from IgM antibodies, using a chemical method to selectively inactivate IgM.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not explicitly describe a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI. This is a traditional IVD device, and its performance is established through calibration and validation studies, not by training a machine learning model on a dataset.

    However, the "Assay cut-off" section mentions: "A final cut-off of 1.0 AI was established for the BioPlex 2200 ToRC IgM assay based on an evaluation of 401, 454 and 511 test ordered and retrospective samples for T. gondii, Rubella and CMV IgM, respectively, of which the serological status was determined from the predicate T. gondii, Rubella and CMV IgM assays."

    This set of samples, used for cut-off optimization, somewhat resembles a "development set" or "tuning set" in machine learning, though it's integral to the assay's design and calibration rather than a separate training phase.

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

    As noted in point 8, there isn't a "training set" in the AI/ML sense. For the samples used to establish the assay cut-off, the serological status (ground truth) was determined from the predicate T. gondii, Rubella, and CMV IgM assays. This indicates that commercially available and validated assays were used to define the true positive/negative status of these samples for optimizing the new device's cut-off.
