The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is used for the quantitation of Urea Nitrogen in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System.
The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is to used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.
The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. The Urea Nitrogen2 assay is a modification of a totally enzymatic procedure. The test is performed as a kinetic assay in which the initial rate of the reaction is linear for a limited period of time. Urea in the sample is hydrolyzed by urease to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The second reaction, catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), converts ammonia and a-ketoglutarate to glutamate and water with the concurrent oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Two moles of NADH are oxidized for each mole of urea present. The initial rate of decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to the urea concentration in the sample.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a new in vitro diagnostic device, the Urea Nitrogen2 assay. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than comprehensive clinical effectiveness studies as might be seen for novel devices. Therefore, the information provided primarily concerns non-clinical performance characteristics of the assay itself, rather than human-in-the-loop performance or diagnostic accuracy evaluated in a clinical setting with patient outcomes.
Based on the provided document, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
Core Purpose of the Submission: To demonstrate that the Urea Nitrogen2 assay is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (Urea Nitrogen assay, K981918) for the quantitative measurement of urea nitrogen in human serum, plasma, and urine on the ARCHITECT c System. This means proving the new device performs similarly and is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly derived from established clinical laboratory standards (CLSI guidelines) and comparison to the predicate device's known performance. The performance metrics evaluated are standard for in vitro diagnostic assays.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Precision Studies (Within-Laboratory):
- Serum/Plasma: 3 human serum panels + 2 controls. Each tested in duplicate, twice per day, for 20 days on 3 reagent lot/calibrator lot/instrument combinations. For a representative combination, n=80 per sample/control.
- Urine: 3 human urine panels + 2 controls. Each tested in duplicate, twice per day, for 20 days on 3 reagent lot/calibrator lot/instrument combinations. For a representative combination, n=80 per sample/control.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated but inferred to be laboratory-based analytical studies, likely from the manufacturer's R&D facilities. No country of origin is specified. The studies are retrospective analytical evaluations of manufactured samples and controls.
- Accuracy (Bias): 3 concentrations of standard across 3 reagent lots, 2 calibrator lots, and 1 instrument. (NIST SRM 912b is the standard).
- Lower Limits of Measurement (LoB, LoD, LoQ): n ≥ 60 replicates of zero-analyte samples for LoB, n ≥ 60 replicates of low-analyte level samples for LoD/LoQ. Conducted using 3 reagent lots on 2 instruments over a minimum of 3 days.
- Linearity: Not explicitly stated sample count, but typically involves preparing a dilution series of samples across the range.
- Interference: "Each substance was tested at 2 levels of the analyte (approximately 10 mg/dL and 30 mg/dL for serum/plasma; 700 mg/dL and 1500 mg/dL for urine)." No specific N for how many replicates or individual samples are run per interferent level, but implied to be sufficient for statistical analysis (e.g., 95% CI).
- Method Comparison:
- Serum: n=124 samples.
- Urine: n=121 samples.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but these would be clinical or proficiency samples analyzed side-by-side with the predicate.
- Tube Type: Samples collected from a minimum of 40 donors.
- Dilution Verification: 5 human serum samples (spiked with urea). Each sample tested with automated dilution and 3 manual dilutions (by 2 technicians). Tested in replicates of 5.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications
- For this type of in vitro diagnostic device (a quantitative chemical assay), "ground truth" is established by:
- Reference materials: e.g., NIST SRM 912b for accuracy. This is a primary standard, not established by human experts.
- Predicate device measurements: For method comparison, the predicate device provides the comparative 'truth' (or established method performance).
- Clinical laboratory professional consensus/guidelines: Standards like CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines (EP05-A3, EP17-A2, EP06-A, EP07, EP09-A3, EP34) serve as the "expert consensus" on how to conduct and interpret these analytical studies. These are published by committees of experts in laboratory medicine, clinical chemistry, and statistics.
- No "expert readers" in the traditional sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images) are involved in establishing ground truth for this type of device. The validation is based on metrological traceability to standards and comparison to an established analytical method.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable as this is an analytical performance study of a chemical assay, not a diagnostic accuracy study relying on human interpretation of subjective data (like imaging or pathology). Results are quantitative measurements read by the instrument.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
- No. An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic devices that involve human interpretation (e.g., AI-assisted image interpretation) and aim to show an improvement in human reader performance. This device is a quantitative chemical assay that provides a numerical result; there is no human "reader" to assist in the primary measurement. The comparison is between the new assay's performance and the predicate assay's performance, as well as against analytical standards.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Yes, effectively. The entire submission details the standalone analytical performance of the Urea Nitrogen2 assay system (reagents + ARCHITECT c System instrument). Its performance (precision, accuracy, linearity, etc.) is evaluated independently of human interpretation of the final numerical result, beyond the standard operation and quality control typically performed in a clinical lab.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Analytical Standards and Reference Methods/Predicate Device:
- NIST SRM 912b: Used as the true value for accuracy determination.
- Predicate Device (Urea Nitrogen assay): Used as the comparative reference for method comparison studies, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
- CLSI Guidelines: Act as the "ground truth" for the methodologies and acceptance criteria applied to evaluate the analytical performance (e.g., how LoQ is defined and determined, how precision is calculated).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- For this type of in vitro diagnostic assay, there isn't a "training set" in the machine learning sense (where an algorithm learns from data). The "training" for such an assay primarily refers to:
- Reagent formulation and optimization: This involves extensive R&D to achieve desired chemical reactions and stability.
- Instrument calibration: The ARCHITECT c System is calibrated using specific calibrators (Consolidated Chemistry Calibrator mentioned, which is itself traceable to standards) to ensure accurate measurement across the range.
- The "training" is inherent in the chemical and engineering development of the assay and the instrument, rather than an algorithmic learning process on a large dataset. Therefore, a specific "training set sample size" as one would discuss for an AI model is not applicable.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As explained above, there isn't a "training set" with ground truth in the AI/ML context for this device. Instead, the assay's performance characteristics (calibration, linearity, reaction kinetics, etc.) are optimized and confirmed through:
- Chemical principles and R&D: The enzymatic reaction (urease, GLDH kinetics) is based on established biochemical mechanisms.
- Quality control materials and calibrators: These materials have assigned values, often traceable to international standards (like NIST SRM), and are used to "train" or calibrate the instrument system.
- Iterative laboratory testing and optimization: The assay's components and instrument parameters are refined through repeated experiments to meet performance specifications.

Study Details to Prove Acceptance: Method Comparison Study
The primary study mentioned to demonstrate substantial equivalence and meet implied acceptance criteria is a method comparison study against the predicate device.
-
Acceptance Criteria (Implied): The new device's results should correlate strongly with the predicate device, demonstrated by a regression equation (y = mx + b) where 'm' is close to 1, 'b' is close to 0, and the correlation coefficient 'R' (or 'r') is close to 1. Limitations should also be comparable or better.
-
Study Description (New Device):
- Method Comparison: Comparison to Bayer ADVIA 2400.
- Regression Equation: y = 0.94x + 0.25 (where y is the new device and x is the predicate device).
- Correlation Coefficient: R = 0.996.
- Range: From 4.3 to 117.3 mg/dL.
- Sample Size: N = 143.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Types of Ground Truth: Not applicable in the traditional sense of expert consensus for imaging, as this is a quantitative chemical assay. The "ground truth" for the comparison is the measurement result from the predicate device (Bayer ADVIA 2400), which itself is established using a CDC reference method traceable to NIST materials.
- Training Set Sample Size & Ground Truth: Not applicable to this type of method comparison study for quantitative diagnostic devices. These devices are typically analytical rather than AI/machine learning driven, so "training sets" in that context are not relevant here.
Regarding other specific questions, based on the provided text:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: N = 143 for the method comparison study.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly provided (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature of the samples).
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. For quantitative diagnostic assays like Urea/BUN, "ground truth" is typically established by reference methods or highly accurate analytical techniques, not by human expert consensus as might be the case for image-based diagnostics. The predicate device's results serve as the comparison point, traceable to NIST standards.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for this type of quantitative diagnostic device. Adjudication methods are typically relevant for subjective assessments, like interpreting medical images.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No, this is not an MRMC study. This is a comparison between two quantitative diagnostic devices (the new device and a predicate device). MRMC studies are specific to evaluating human reader performance, often with and without AI assistance, typically in image interpretation.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: The device itself (Urea/BUN assay on the T60 instrument) operates in a standalone manner to produce a quantitative result. The method comparison study evaluates this standalone analytical performance against a comparator device. There is no "human-in-the-loop" aspect described for the assay's primary function.
-
The type of ground truth used: The ground truth for the comparison is the measurement obtained from the predicate device (Bayer ADVIA 2400), which itself is stated to be traceable to the CDC reference method and uses NIST reference materials. This indicates a high-level analytical standard as the basis for comparison.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable for this type of device and study. These are chemical assays, not AI algorithms requiring a "training set" in the machine learning sense.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm described here.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Precision (Test Set): For the candidate device, N=25 for each of the three samples tested for within-day and day-to-day precision for BUN, Calcium, Creatinine, and Glucose.
- Sample Size for Accuracy/Linearity (Test Set): Not explicitly stated as a separate sample size for accuracy/linearity, but these tests typically use a series of patient samples and/or spiked samples. The "Method Comparison and Bias Estimation Using Patient Samples" (NCCLS EP9-A2) guideline was followed, indicating the use of patient samples.
- Data Provenance: The study used "Human Serum". The country of origin for the data is not specified in the provided text. It is a retrospective evaluation of the performance of the reagent set.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This is a chemical assay study for quantitative determination of analytes. The "ground truth" is established by the analytical method itself and comparison to a predicate device. There is no mention of human experts interpreting results to establish ground truth in the context of this study.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. This is a quantitative chemical assay comparison, not an imaging or qualitative diagnostic study requiring adjudication.
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 a study of an in vitro diagnostic reagent set, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The "Teco CX3 Reagent Set for SYNCHRON CX System" is a standalone diagnostic reagent set designed for use on an automated analyzer (Beckman CX3 System). Its performance (precision, linearity, accuracy) was evaluated independently of human interpretation of the results, beyond the standard operation of the analytical system.
7. The type of ground truth used
The ground truth is established by:
- Predicate Device Comparison: The candidate device's performance is compared against legally marketed predicate devices (Teco BUN Liquid, Teco Calcium Color, Teco Creatinine, and Teco Glucose Liquid Reagent).
- Analytical Standards: Linearity and accuracy are typically assessed against known concentrations of calibrators or reference materials.
- Statistical Analysis: Precision is measured through statistical analysis of replicate measurements.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI algorithm, and therefore there is no "training set" in the conventional sense. The development of the reagent set would involve internal validation and formulation, but these are not referred to as a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device. The formulation and quality control of the reagents during manufacturing would ensure their performance, but this is a different concept from establishing ground truth for a machine learning model.

It is an "open" System, which can use a variety of commercially manufactured reagents such as but not limited to Synermeds® Reagents, Medical Analysis Systems Reagents and STANBIO Laboratory Reagents. It is used to monitor various physiological diseases or conditions. Precision Systems Inc will distribute, recommend and sales STANBIO Reagents without any modification of STANBIO packaging using PSI Applications sheets.
The ANALETTE™ Chemistry Analyzer is an in vitro diagnostic automated clinical chemistry analyzer for the analysis of analytes in solution. It is an "open" System, which can use a variety of commercially manufactured reagents.
The document describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Precision Systems™ ANALETTE™ Chemistry Analyzer using STANBIO Laboratory Reagents to its predicate devices (ANALETTE™ using Synermed® Reagents and ANALETTE™ using Medical Analysis Systems Inc® Reagents).
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document explicitly states: "Performance specifications: None established under Section 514." Instead, it refers to "Acceptance Criteria" (Exhibit E and F) but does not detail the specific numerical acceptance criteria within the provided text.
However, the "Results" section (G.) provides the reported performance relative to "acceptable/equivalent results" or "Manufacturers' claim."
Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied/Referenced) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Imprecision | Acceptable/equivalent results (Implied) | Serum controls give acceptable/equivalent results using the described procedure for within run and total imprecision with each of the representative test methods (Synermed, Medical Analysis Systems, and STANBIO Laboratory Reagents, as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 vs insert values). |
Correlation | Acceptable results (Implied) | Slopes, Intercepts and Correlation Coefficients show acceptable results. The regression (slope and intercept) and correlation coefficients are shown in Table 3 and Graphs 1-21. Acceptable results are shown between both methods (STANBIO Laboratory Reagents vs. Synermeds® or Medical Analysis Systems Reagents). |
Linearity | Not exceeding Manufacturers' claim | Linearity did not exceed the Manufacturers' claim (shown in Table 4 vs insert values). A comparison is made between STANBIO Laboratory Reagents and the Least Square line to establish linearity. |
Recovery | Acceptable results for assigned ranges | Acceptable results are shown between both methods (using assigned control serums ranges, shown in Table 5). |
Normal Range | Remains as recommended by manufacture | Parameters were not tested, assumed to remain as recommended by manufacture as no modifications to STANBIO Laboratory Reagents or packaging. |
Sensitivity | Remains as recommended by manufacture | Parameters were not tested, assumed to remain as recommended by manufacture as no modifications to STANBIO Laboratory Reagents or packaging. |
Stability | Remains as recommended by manufacture | Parameters were not tested, assumed to remain as recommended by manufacture as no modifications to STANBIO Laboratory Reagents or packaging. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Imprecision: Two control serums were used for both within-run and total precision.
- Within-run: Up to 20 repeats.
- Total precision: Duplicates for up to 20 days.
- Correlation: "about 100 serums" were used.
- Linearity: "Commercially available linearity material" was assayed.
- Recovery: "Commercial available Controls with assigned values" were used.
Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or explicitly state if it was retrospective or prospective. However, the nature of the tests (using control serums, commercial linearity material, and patient serums for correlation by assaying them) suggests it was a prospective study conducted for the purpose of this 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The "ground truth" for the test set appears to be established by comparing the performance of the STANBIO Laboratory Reagents on the ANALETTE™ to the performance of predicate reagents (Synermed® and Medical Analysis Systems Inc® Reagents) on the same ANALETTE™ or to manufacturer's claims for linearity and recovery. This is a comparison study, not a ground truthing exercise with independent experts reviewing clinical cases.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable as the study described is a laboratory performance study comparing reagent efficacy, not a human reader or image-based diagnostic study requiring adjudication. The performance is assessed against established laboratory methods or manufacturer claims for the predicate reagents.
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:
This is not applicable as the device is a chemistry analyzer and reagents, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done:
This is an algorithm-only (standalone) performance study in the sense that it evaluates the analytical performance of the ANALETTE™ Chemistry Analyzer with STANBIO reagents. The purpose is to demonstrate that the device produces accurate measurement results independently. Human intervention is limited to operating the analyzer and interpreting the numerical output.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" in this context is established by:
- Comparison to Predicate Devices/Reagents: For imprecision and correlation, the performance of the STANBIO reagents is compared to the performance of legally marketed Synermed® and Medical Analysis Systems Inc® reagents on the ANALETTE™ device (which effectively act as the reference standard).
- Manufacturer's Claims/Expected Values: For linearity and recovery, the results are compared against the manufacturer's claims for the reagents or assigned values for commercial controls.
This is therefore a form of comparative analytical performance against established and accepted methods/claims, rather than clinical outcomes or pathology reports.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable as the ANALETTE™ is a chemistry analyzer, not a machine learning or AI-based device that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for such a system would involve instrument calibration and quality control procedures, which are standard for laboratory devices.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above (not an AI/ML device requiring a training set with established ground truth).
