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.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Urea Nitrogen2) |
|---|---|---|
| Reportable Interval | Must cover clinically relevant range and be supported by analytical performance (LoD, LoQ, linearity, imprecision, bias). It should be comparable to or improve upon the predicate device. Predicate: Serum 2-125 mg/dL, Urine 2-1991 mg/dL. | Serum/Plasma: AMI: 2-125 mg/dL, EMI: 125-625 mg/dL, Reportable Interval: 2-625 mg/dL. Urine: AMI: 16-1991 mg/dL, Reportable Interval: 11-1991 mg/dL. (Meets/Exceeds predicate in serum/plasma upper limit, comparable in urine.) |

Comparable to or better than predicate. Predicate: Serum %CV 1.8-2.0% (15.5-48.0 mg/dL), Urine %CV 3.1-3.8% (504.8-896.4 mg/dL). | Serum/Plasma: Samples (4-102 mg/dL) demonstrated SDs ≤ 0.4 mg/dL and %CV ≤ 2.7%. Urine: Samples (55-1605 mg/dL) demonstrated SDs ≤ 11.7 mg/dL and %CV ≤ 2.1%. (Meets/Exceeds predicate with broader range tested and generally lower %CV.) |
| Accuracy (Bias) | Low percentage bias relative to a recognized standard reference material (NIST SRM 912b). Bias should be within acceptable limits for clinical utility. | Serum: Bias ranged from 1.6% to 4.2%. Urine: Bias ranged from -1.3% to 3.0%. (Demonstrates acceptable accuracy.) |
| Lower Limits of Measurement (LoB, LoD, LoQ) | Determined by CLSI EP17-A2 guidelines. LoB, LoD, and LoQ should be low enough to be clinically useful and comparable to the predicate. Predicate Serum: LoD 0.7 mg/dL, LoQ 1.4 mg/dL. Predicate Urine: LoD 15.0 mg/dL, LoQ 40.0 mg/dL. | Serum: LoB 1 mg/dL, LoD 2 mg/dL, LoQ 2 mg/dL. Urine: LoB 6 mg/dL, LoD 11 mg/dL, LoQ 16 mg/dL.

| Interference | No significant interference (typically defined as ±10% bias) from common endogenous and exogenous substances at specified levels. The scope and levels tested should address potential clinical interferences. | Serum/Plasma (Endogenous): No significant interference (within ±10%) for Bilirubin (60 mg/dL), Hemoglobin (2000 mg/dL), Triglycerides (1500 mg/dL). Interference was observed for Total Protein (11 g/dL at 10 mg/dL analyte level: 11% (9%, 14%) CI). Serum/Plasma (Exogenous): No significant interference (within ±10%) for a broad list of drugs.

They demonstrate the device's technical specifications and how it performs compared to a reference method or the predicate device.
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.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This type of device (clinical chemistry analyzer) does not typically involve human experts establishing "ground truth" in the same way an imaging or diagnostic AI device would. The "ground truth" for quantitative measurements like BUN, Na+, K+, Cl- is established by:
- Using reference methods or predicate devices (as implied by the correlation study with the BS-400).
- Using calibrators and controls with known, traceable values.
- The analytical accuracy of the methods themselves.
Therefore, the concept of "number of experts" and "qualifications of those experts" does not directly apply here as it would for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "experts" are more akin to the laboratory scientists and statisticians who design and execute the validation studies and verify the analytical performance.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies where human readers are interpreting data (like imaging studies) and disagreements need to be resolved to establish ground truth.
For a clinical chemistry analyzer, the "ground truth" is determined by the analytical performance of the reference method or predicate device. There is no mention of an adjudication process for this type of test result.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study involves multiple human readers interpreting cases and is typically used for diagnostic devices where human interpretation is a key component, often comparing human performance with and without AI assistance. This document describes the analytical performance of an automated chemical analyzer, which does not involve human interpretation in the same manner.
6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, this entire submission effectively describes a standalone performance study of the BS-480/BS-490/CLC720i Chemistry Analyzer. The study evaluates the device's ability to accurately measure analytes independently, without requiring human-in-the-loop performance correction or assistance in the measurement process itself. The "algorithm" here is the instrument's internal measurement and calculation processes.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this study is based on:
- Reference measurements from a legally marketed predicate device (BS-400 Chemistry Analyzer), as indicated by the "Correlation Analysis" section where the BS-480's results are compared to the BS-400's results.
- Known concentrations in control and calibration materials for linearity, precision, and detection limit studies.
- Spiked samples with known concentrations of interferents for interference studies.
This is considered analytical ground truth, established through comparison to validated methods and known standards, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data, which are more common for diagnostic accuracy studies.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide information about a "training set" in the context of machine learning. This submission is for an automated clinical chemistry analyzer, which functions based on established chemical and physical principles, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set to "learn" patterns. The device operates deterministically.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted in point 8, the concept of a "training set" and its associated ground truth establishment is not applicable to this device type as described in the document.

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 Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- For the Correlation study of ABX PENTRA Urea CP (urine samples),
n=147samples were used. - No specific sample size is explicitly stated for other performance metrics (Detection Limit, Accuracy, Precision, Measuring Range, Linearity, Stability) but these are typically tested with a sufficient number of replicates and samples to satisfy internal validation protocols.
- For the Correlation study of ABX PENTRA Urea CP (urine samples),
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This information is not provided in the document. The studies described are for an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent and control, where "ground truth" often refers to reference methods or comparative assays, not expert consensus in the same way it would for imaging diagnostics.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation by multiple human readers, not for analytical performance testing of biochemical assays.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
This information is not applicable and not provided. MRMC studies are relevant for imaging devices or software that assist human interpretation. This submission is for an in vitro diagnostic reagent and control.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
The performance data presented is for the reagent and control used on the ABX PENTRA 400 analyzer, which is an automated clinical chemistry analyzer. Therefore, the reported performance metrics (detection limit, accuracy, precision, measuring range, linearity, correlation, stability) represent the standalone performance of the device system (reagent + analyzer) without human interpretive input. The product is not an "algorithm" in the sense of AI/ML, but a chemical test system.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
For the Correlation study of ABX PENTRA Urea CP, the reported correlation coefficients ($r^2$) and linear equations imply a comparison against a reference method or predicate device's results (denoted as 'x' in the equations). The document does not explicitly name the reference method, but states the device demonstrates "substantial equivalence to their respective predicate devices."
For the other analytical performance characteristics (Detection Limit, Accuracy, Precision, Measuring Range, Linearity, Stability), the "ground truth" would be established through a combination of:
- Use of reference materials or calibrators with known analyte concentrations.
- Comparison with established laboratory methods or predicate devices.
- Internal validation procedures demonstrating adherence to pre-defined specifications.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not provided and not applicable in the context of this traditional IVD product. Training sets are typically associated with machine learning or AI-based devices. This submission describes a chemical reagent and control.

| 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).

The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen in serum, plasma and urine. Urea nitrogen results are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal and metabolic diseases.
The ATAC PAK BUN Reagent determines urea nitrogen through the enzymatic action of urease and glutamate delydrogenase. The resulting decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is proportional to the urea nitrogen concentration of the sample.
This document focuses on the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit, an in-vitro diagnostic device designed for the quantitative determination of urea nitrogen. The provided text describes the device's performance characteristics and how they demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as required for 510(k) clearance by the FDA.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implied/Direct) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Linearity/Recovery | Linear from 2 to 100 mg/dL | (ATAC Recoveries) = 0.6 mg/dL + 0.9775 x (Standard Value), sy.x = 1.2 mg/dL. The recovery of urea nitrogen is linear from 2 to 100 mg/dL. |
| Precision (Within Run) | Not explicitly stated but implied to be low CV% to demonstrate reliability | Serum 1: n=60, mean=7 mg/dL, 1SD=0.3, %CV=4.4% Serum 2: n=60, mean=34 mg/dL, 1SD=0.5, %CV=1.5% Serum 3: n=60, mean=61 mg/dL, 1SD=0.9, %CV=1.4% Urine 1: n=60, mean=21 mg/dL, 1SD=0.4, %CV=2.1% Urine 2: n=60, mean=80 mg/dL, 1SD=1.0, %CV=1.3% |
| Precision (Total) | Not explicitly stated but implied to be low CV% to demonstrate reliability | Serum 1: 1SD=0.4, %CV=5.6% Serum 2: 1SD=0.8, %CV=2.3% Serum 3: 1SD=1.1, %CV=1.9% Urine 1: 1SD=0.5, %CV=2.5% Urine 2: 1SD=1.4, %CV=1.7% |
| Method Comparison (Serum/Plasma) | Strong correlation (high r-value) and close agreement with competitive method | ATAC 8000 = 1.2 mg/dL + 0.977 x Competitive Reagent, r = 0.996 |
| Method Comparison (Urine) | Strong correlation (high r-value) and close agreement with competitive method | ATAC 8000 = 1.9 mg/dL + 0.9525 x Competitive Reagent, r = 0.991 |
| Detection Limit | 2 mg/dL | 2 mg/dL (documented by repetitive assay of diluted serum control, 30 replicates, 0 mg/dL std dev) |

| Calibration Stability | 14 days; total imprecision < 3 mg/dL or 3% over period | Meets 14-day claim, with total imprecision < 3 mg/dL or 3%. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Linearity/Recovery: n = 50 (for regression statistics comparing standard values).
- Precision:
- Serum 1: n = 60
- Serum 2: n = 60
- Serum 3: n = 60
- Urine 1: n = 60
- Urine 2: n = 60
(Precision studies used commercially available control serum and urine pools.)
- Method Comparison (Serum/Plasma): n = 217.
- Method Comparison (Urine): n = 92.
- Detection Limit: 30 replicates of a diluted serum control.
Data Provenance: The document states that mixed serum, plasma, and diluted urine specimens were "collected from adult patients." It also mentions "commercially available control serum." The country of origin is not specified, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA, suggesting the data would comply with U.S. regulatory standards. The studies appear to be prospective as they were conducted to demonstrate the performance of the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device study does not typically involve "experts" establishing a ground truth in the way medical imaging or clinical diagnosis studies do. For IVDs, the "ground truth" is established through:
- Reference materials: For linearity, known standard values are used.
- Established analytical methods: For method comparison, a "competitive commercially available method" is used as a reference.
- Control materials: For precision, commercially available control serum and urine pools with known target ranges are used.
Therefore, the concept of "number of experts" and their "qualifications" for establishing ground truth is not applicable here.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. As described above, the ground truth is based on reference standards, established methods, and control materials, not on human interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its effect size
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is an in-vitro diagnostic device, not an imaging or diagnostic device that relies on human interpretation of complex data. The study focuses on the analytical performance of the reagent kit itself.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, the studies described are standalone performance evaluations of the ATAC PAK BUN Reagent Kit on the ATAC 8000 Random Access Chemistry System. These are analytical performance studies of the device itself, without human intervention in the result determination process beyond standard laboratory operating procedures.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Linearity: Known standard values/concentrations.
- Precision: Commercially available control serum and urine pools with established target ranges.
- Method Comparison: Results from a "commercially available method" (i.e., another established and validated BUN assay). This serves as the comparative reference.
- Detection Limit: Diluted serum control with a known low concentration.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models, as this is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent kit, not an AI-powered device. The studies described are performance validation studies.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no explicit "training set" in the AI/machine learning sense, this question is not directly applicable. The performance characteristics are demonstrated using the previously described methods (reference materials, control materials, comparative methods).
