HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa is an automated chromogenic assay for in vitro diagnostic use by laboratory professionals in clinical laboratories. The assay provides quantitative results on 3.2% citrated human plasma for the following analytes based on the calibrators used:

• · When used with HemosIL Heparin Calibrators: Quantitative determination of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) activity on the ACL TOP Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series.
• · When used with HemosIL Apixaban Calibrators:

Quantitative determination of apixaban on the ACL TOP Family 50 Series through measurement of Factor Xa activity, which is inversely proportional to the apixaban level. With HemosIL Apixaban Calibrators, the assay is intended to measure apixaban concentrations in patients on apixaban therapy in the following situations where measurement of apixaban levels could be useful to have as additional information:

• Patients at risk for major bleeding
• Patients experiencing a bleeding episode

The assay is not a stand-alone test and the results should be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings.

For use in adult population. For prescription use only.

HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa is a one stage chromogenic assay based on a synthetic chromogenic substrate and on Factor Xa inactivation. The assay provides quantitative results on 3.2% citrated human plasma for the following analytes based on the calibrators used:

. When used with HemosIL Heparin Calibrators:

Heparin levels in patient plasma are measured automatically on ACL TOP Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series when this assay is calibrated with HemosIL Heparin Calibrators.

Heparin is analyzed as a complex with antithrombin present in the sample. The concentration of this complex is dependent on the availability of the patient's endogenous antithrombin. When the heparinantithrombin complex is formed, two competing reactions take place.

• 1. Factor Xa is neutralized by heparin-antithrombin complex.
• 2. Residual Factor Xa is quantified with a synthetic chromogenic substrate. The paranitroaniline released is monitored kinetically at 405 nm and is inversely proportional to the heparin level in the sample.

In order to reduce the influence from heparin antagonists, such as platelet factor 4 (PF4), dextran sulfate is included in the reaction mixture.

When used with HemosIL Apixaban Calibrators: .

Apixaban levels in patient plasma are measured automatically on ACL TOP Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series when this assay is calibrated with HemosIL Apixaban Calibrators.

Apixaban directly inhibits Factor Xa activity independent of the antithrombin present. The Factor Xa activity measured by the assay is exogenous. Factor Xa is neutralized directly by apixaban.

Residual Factor Xa is quantified with a synthetic chromogenic substrate. The paranitroaniline released is monitored kinetically at 405 nm and is inversely proportional to the apixaban level in the sample.

Measurement of apixaban concentration is recommended by the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis Subcommittee on Control of Anticoagulation in certain clinical scenarios including bleeding episodes, perioperative management, and suspicion of overdose.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa), primarily focused on a specific change: modifying the labeled on-board instrument stability claim from 7 days to 4 days and removing claims for a particular instrument family (ACL Elite/Elite Pro). This type of submission (Special 510(k)) indicates that the core device and its fundamental performance characteristics are already established and the submission is for a minor modification.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information typically found in a clinical study report that would establish the initial acceptance criteria and prove the device meets them from scratch. It refers to a guideline (CLSI EP25-A) for the testing conducted for the stability claim change, but doesn't detail the acceptance criteria for the entire device's performance (e.g., accuracy, precision, linearity, etc., across its full analytical range).

The information requested in the prompt (sample size for test set, data provenance, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth establishment for training and test sets) is characteristic of studies for diagnostic devices, particularly AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) products, where performance is often evaluated against human expert consensus or clinical outcomes. The HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay, not an AI/SaMD product that requires human expert review of images or signals for ground truth. Its performance validation relies on analytical studies (e.g., accuracy against reference methods, precision, linearity, interference studies).

Based on the provided document, I cannot fulfill most of the requested information because it is not contained within this 510(k) summary.

Specifically, the document:

• Does not provide a full table of acceptance criteria for the device's overall performance (only discusses a change in stability claim).
• Does not discuss aspects like sample size for test sets in the context of clinical performance evaluation against a human-established ground truth, data provenance for such sets, expert numbers/qualifications, or adjudication methods, as these are typically not relevant for an IVD reagent's analytical performance assessment in the same way they are for image-based AI diagnostics.
• Does not mention any multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, as it's not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
• Does not discuss standalone algorithm performance, as it's a reagent for an automated instrument.
• Does not specify the type of ground truth used in the context of human expert review. For an IVD, "ground truth" would typically refer to reference method results or clinical diagnosis established through established laboratory and clinical procedures.
• Does not provide information on training set sample size or how ground truth was established for a training set, as it is not an AI/machine learning device that undergoes a training phase in the typical sense.

The only relevant information that can be extracted regarding a "study" is for the change being submitted:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for On-Board Stability Change):

The document states the study was conducted "based on testing to the current CLSI EP25-A guideline" to support the change in on-board stability from 7 days to 4 days. While it doesn't explicitly list the numerical acceptance criteria for this specific study, the implication is that the data collected over 4 days met the performance specifications (e.g., accuracy, precision) as defined by the CLSI EP25-A guideline for reagent stability. The reported performance is that the device meets the 4-day stability claim, leading to the regulatory approval.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Stability Test: While the specific sample size for the stability study is not detailed, it would involve multiple replicates of control and/or patient samples measured over the 4-day period on the specified instruments (ACL TOP Family and ACL TOP Family 50 Series) stored at 15-25°C. Data provenance would be from internal laboratory studies of Instrumentation Laboratory Co. (the manufacturer). This would be a prospective analytical study designed to assess reagent stability under defined conditions.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications / Adjudication Method / MRMC Study / Standalone Performance: Not applicable for this type of IVD reagent validation. There are no human experts involved in establishing ground truth for analytical performance, nor is there a multi-reader study or standalone algorithm.

4. Type of Ground Truth Used: For analytical performance like stability, the "ground truth" would be the initial performance of the freshly prepared reagent or its performance compared to a reference method, against which subsequent measurements over time are compared to assess degradation. This is an analytical ground truth, not a clinical ground truth established by human experts.

5. Training Set Sample Size and Ground Truth Establishment: Not applicable. This is an IVD reagent and not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" in the sense of machine learning. The design and parameters of the assay are established through chemical and biological research and development, not data-driven machine learning.
