The Atellica® CH Creatinine_3 (Crea3) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of creatinine in human serum, plasma (lithium heparin, dipotassium EDTA, and sodium heparin), and urine using the Atellica® CH Analyzer. Such measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, and in monitoring renal dialysis.
The Atellica CH Crea3 assay is based on the reaction of picrate with creatinine in an alkaline medium to produce a red chromophore creatinine picrate complex. The rate of complex formation is measured at 505/571 nm and is proportional to the creatinine concentration. The Atellica CH Crea3 assay is a modification of the Jaffe method, using rate blanking and intercept correction. Rate blanking is used to minimize bilirubin interference. Also, because non-specific serum/plasma protein interactions with this reagent have been found to produce a positive bias of approximately 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L), serum/plasma measurements are automatically corrected by subtracting 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L) from each result.
The provided text describes the performance characteristics and studies for the Atellica® CH Creatinine_3 (Crea3) assay, a new in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative determination of creatinine. It compares this new device to a predicate device, the Atellica® CH Creatinine_2 (Crea_2) assay.

(All demonstrate strong equivalence to serum reference). |
| Interferences (HIL) | $\le$ 10% interference from hemoglobin, bilirubin, and lipemia. Bias > 10% or 0.15 mg/dL (whichever is greater for serum/plasma) is considered interference. | Reported biases for Hemoglobin (1000 mg/dL), Conjugated Bilirubin (40-45 mg/dL), Unconjugated Bilirubin (45-60 mg/dL), and Lipemia (2250-3000 mg/dL) are all within the ±10% or ±0.15 mg/dL threshold for the tested analyte concentrations, demonstrating acceptable interference profiles. |
| Interfering Substances | Bias $\le$ 10% or ±0.15 mg/dL for Serum/plasma samples. Bias $\le$ 10% for Urine samples (for listed substances). | Most tested substances (e.g., Acetaminophen, Ascorbic Acid, etc.) show negligible bias, meeting the criteria.

- Total Protein: Shows bias beyond 0.15 mg/dL at 15 g/dL (0.45 mg/dL).
- Acetohexamide: Shows bias beyond 10% at 2.0 mg/dL (10.4%).

Substances showing bias beyond acceptance criteria for Urine:
- Cefoxitin: Shows bias beyond 10% at higher concentrations (e.g., 11.3% and 15.4%).
(The document explicitly lists these substances under "Interference beyond ±10% for Serum" and "Interference beyond ±10% for Urine," indicating that they failed the non-interference criteria at the tested concentrations. This is typical for IVD submissions, where known interferences are identified for labeling purposes). |

Study Details:
-
Sample Size and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Sample Sizes:
- Detection Capability: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" but data points obtained according to CLSI EP17-A2.
- Precision: 80 data points per serum/urine sample type (duplicate runs for 20 days, 2 runs/day).
- Reproducibility: 225 data points per serum/urine sample type (n=5 in 1 run for 5 days using 3 instruments and 3 reagent lots).
- Assay Comparison: 151 serum samples and 113 urine samples.
- Specimen Equivalence: 50 samples for each plasma type (Sodium Heparin, Lithium Heparin, Dipotassium EDTA) compared to serum.
- Interference (HIL & Non-Interfering Substances): Not explicitly stated as a total sample size, but experiments are designed to test specific analyte concentrations with and without interferents, following CLSI EP07-ED3.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin. Given the manufacturer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. in Tarrytown, New York, USA) and FDA submission, it's highly probable the studies were conducted in the US or in compliance with US regulatory standards. The studies described are retrospective in the sense that they use pre-collected or prepared samples to assess the analytical performance of the device under controlled conditions, not prospective in tracking patient outcomes in a clinical trial.
- Test Set Sample Sizes:
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications of those experts:
- For an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device measuring a quantitative analyte like creatinine, "ground truth" is typically established by reference methods or established laboratory standards and calibrators, not by human expert consensus or labeling of medical images.
- The "ground truth" for creatinine concentration in this context is based on traceable reference materials (NIST SRM 967) and established laboratory measurement principles, and the performance is compared against a legally marketed predicate device.
- Therefore, this question (relevant for AI/imaging devices) does not directly apply to this type of IVD submission.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical trials or image labeling pipelines where there's human interpretation involved and a need to resolve disagreements among multiple readers; this is an analytical performance study of an IVD assay.
-
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 not an AI/imaging device. It's an in vitro diagnostic assay.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This is an automated IVD assay performed on the Atellica® CH Analyzer. Its intended use is quantitative determination of creatinine. Therefore, the performance described (precision, accuracy, interference, etc.) is its standalone performance without a human in the loop for the analytical measurement itself, though a human still interacts with the instrument and interprets the results in a clinical context.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The primary "ground truth" for the Atellica® CH Creatinine_3 assay's performance is traceability to NIST SRM 967 (a certified reference material for creatinine) and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device (Atellica® CH Creatinine_2) using method comparison validated against CLSI guidelines. This is a form of analytical reference standard and comparative performance to an established method.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This device is an analytical chemistry assay, not a machine learning/AI algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The "development" or "optimization" of the assay would involve various experimental data, but it's not codified as a "training set" for an algorithm.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the AI/ML context for this type of device. The assay development would rely on scientific principles of analytical chemistry, reagent formulation, and instrument calibration against known standards.

The Creatinine2 assay is used for the quantitation of creatinine in human serum, plasma, or urine on the ARCHITECT c System.
The Creatinine2 assay is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
The Creatinine2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay. At an alkaline pH, creatinine in the sample reacts with picric acid to form a creatinine-picrate complex that absorbs at 500 nm. The rate of increase in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of creatinine in the sample.
The provided document describes the Abbott Creatinine2 assay, an in vitro diagnostic device, and its performance relative to a predicate device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes several nonclinical laboratory studies.
- Precision (Within-Laboratory): For both Serum/Plasma and Urine, the studies tested 80 replicates per sample type for each of the two controls and three human panels (5 samples total). This was done in duplicate, twice per day, on 20 days. The provenance of the human panels (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified, but they are referred to as "human serum panels" and "human urine panels." This data is ex vivo laboratory testing.
- Accuracy: No specific sample size of "patient samples" is given. The study was performed using "material standardized to the Certified Reference Material NIST SRM 967a" for serum/plasma and "material standardized to the Certified Reference Material NIST SRM 914a" for urine.
- Lower Limits of Measurement (LoB, LoD, LoQ): n ≥ 60 replicates for zero-analyte and low-analyte level samples for LoB/LoD, and for low-analyte level samples for LoQ.
- Linearity: The sample size for linearity is not explicitly stated in terms of number of unique samples, but it covers the analytical measuring interval by spiking and dilution.
- Method Comparison:
- Serum: 128 samples
- Urine: 129 samples
The provenance of these clinical samples (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is not explicitly stated.
- Interference: "Each substance was tested at 2 levels of the analyte." No specific sample size (n) for the number of replicates per interference test is given beyond this, nor is the provenance of the base samples used.
- Tube Type: "Samples were collected from a minimum of 40 donors." The provenance is not explicitly stated.
The studies described are nonclinical laboratory studies, primarily involving analytical performance evaluation rather than clinical patient studies.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This information is not applicable (N/A) to this specific device (Creatinine2 assay). The device is an in vitro diagnostic for quantitative measurement of creatinine, not an imaging device or a device requiring expert interpretation of complex clinical data to establish ground truth for its performance evaluation (e.g., a diagnosis of a disease from imaging). The "ground truth" for its analytical accuracy is typically established against certified reference materials (NIST SRM 967a for serum/plasma and NIST SRM 914a for urine) or reference methods, not by human experts adjudicating cases for a test set.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable (N/A) for the same reasons as #3. Clinical adjudication by multiple experts (like 2+1, 3+1) is typically used for devices that rely on human interpretation of outputs (e.g., medical images, pathology slides) where consensus or expert opinion defines the ground truth for diagnostic accuracy. This device measures a biochemical analyte.
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 is relevant for medical devices where human readers or interpreters are part of the diagnostic workflow, such as imaging-based AI tools. The Creatinine2 assay is an automated clinical chemistry assay that directly measures creatinine levels in biological samples and does not involve human image interpretation or a "human-in-the-loop" effectiveness study as typically understood in the context of MRMC studies.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
The Creatinine2 assay is a standalone (algorithm only) device in the sense that it performs a quantitative measurement without a human-in-the-loop for interpreting the output of the device to arrive at the creatinine value. The performance metrics described (precision, accuracy, linearity, lower limits of measurement, interference, method comparison) are all tests of the device's performance directly, independent of human interpretation or assistance in generating the result.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the performance evaluation of the Creatinine2 assay was primarily established using:
- Certified Reference Materials: NIST SRM 967a for serum/plasma and NIST SRM 914a for urine were used for accuracy studies.
- Predicate Device/Reference Method: The Creatinine assay (K083809; List No. 3L81) was used as a comparator for the method comparison study to assess substantial equivalence.
- Defined Standards/Controls: For precision and lower limits of measurement, studies used control materials and low-analyte level samples with known or established concentrations to determine repeatability, detection, and quantitation limits.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable (N/A). The Creatinine2 assay is a chemical assay, not a machine learning or AI-based device that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. Its performance is based on the chemical reaction and analytical methods described.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable (N/A) for the same reasons as #8.

The Atellica™ CH Creatinine 2 (Crea 2) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of creatinine in human serum, plasma (lithium heparin), and urine using the Atellica™ CH Analyzer, Such measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, and in monitoring renal dialysis.
The Atellica™ CH Chemistry Calibrator (CHEM CAL) is for in vitro diagnostic use in calibrating the Crea 2 assay using the Atellica™ CH Analyzer.
The Atellica CH Creatinine_2 (Crea_2) assay is based on the reaction of picric acid with creatinine in an alkaline medium as described in the original procedure of Jaffe. Creatinine reacts with picric acid in an alkaline medium to produce a red-colored creatinine-picrate complex. The rate of complex formation is measured at 505/571 nm and is proportional to the creatinine concentration. The Atellica CH Creatinine 2 (Crea_2) assay is a modification of the Jaffe method using rate blanking and intercept correction. Rate blanking is used to minimize bilirubin interference. Also, because nonspecific serum/plasma protein interactions with this reagent have been found to produce a positive bias of approximately 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 umol/L), serum/plasma measurements are automatically corrected by subtracting 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 umol/L) from each result.
The Atellica CH Chemistry Calibrator (CHEM CAL) is a 1 level lyophilized calibrator product prepared from bovine serum base product.
Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract the acceptance criteria and study details for the Atellica CH Creatinine 2 (Crea 2) and Atellica CH Chemistry Calibrator (CHEM CAL) devices:

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of device (Creatinine assay system) does not typically involve human expert adjudication for its ground truth. The "ground truth" for a chemical assay is established through highly accurate reference methods or certified reference materials.
- Ground Truth for Method Comparison: The predicate device, ADVIA Chemistry Enzymatic Creatinine_2 (ECRE_2), served as the comparative "ground truth" for the method comparison study. Additionally, "Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS)" was used as a reference method for a subset of samples, which is a highly accurate and precise method for determining analyte concentrations and is recognized as a gold standard in clinical chemistry.
- Ground Truth for Calibration/Standardization: The device uses "IDMS Reference Method" for standardization, and the predicate uses "SRM967" (Standard Reference Material 967, which is a NIST standard for creatinine in human serum, often value-assigned by IDMS). These are highly precise and accurate methods, not typically involving human expert consensus in the same way an imaging device would.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for this type of in-vitro diagnostic device. Ground truth is established by quantitative measurement or comparison to a reference method, not by expert adjudication of human interpretations.
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 an in-vitro diagnostic device for quantitative chemical analysis, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging or interpretation device that would involve human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device itself is a standalone, automated analytical system (Atellica CH Analyzer) that performs the creatinine assay. The performance results reported (LoB, LoD, LoQ, Linearity, Precision, Interference, Method Comparison) represent the standalone performance of the assay on the analyzer. There is no human-in-the-loop component for the measurement of creatinine by this system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Reference Methods:
- The predicate device (ADVIA Chemistry Enzymatic Creatinine_2) was used as a reference for method comparison.
- Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) was used as a highly accurate reference method for a subset of serum samples. This is considered a gold standard for creatinine measurement.
- Reference Materials: Standardization mentions "IDMS Reference Method," which implies traceability to primary reference materials. The predicate mentions SRM967, a certified reference material.
- Defined Protocols: CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) protocols (EP17-A2, EP05-A3, EP06-A, EP7-A2, EP09-A3, EP28-A3c) were followed for various performance evaluations, which define how to establish performance characteristics against expected statistical and analytical metrics.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not explicitly mentioned in the provided text as a "training set" in the context of machine learning, which is typically what this question implies. For an IVD assay, method development and initial optimization would involve numerous experiments and samples, but these are typically not referred to as a "training set" in the AI sense. The text focuses on the validation studies performed to demonstrate performance.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As above, the concept of a "training set" with established ground truth as used in AI/ML is not directly applicable here. The development of an IVD assay involves extensive R&D, where analytical methods are refined to accurately measure the analyte. The "ground truth" during this development phase would be established by reference methods or gravimetric/volumetric preparations of known concentrations, similar to how the validation ground truth is established.

The CRE2 method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatinine in human serum, plasma, and urine on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain renal disease, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
The CRE2 method uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique. In the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, picrate reacts with creatinine to form a red chromophore. The rate of increasing absorbance at 510 nm due to the formation of this chromophore is directly proportional to the creatinine concentration in the sample and is measured using a bichromatic (510, 600nm) rate technique. Bilirubin is oxidized by potassium ferricyanide to prevent interference.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a new in vitro diagnostic device, the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge. This document is a summary of the safety and effectiveness information, comparing the new device to a predicate device already on the market.

The predicate's stated interferences (e.g., Hemoglobin at 1000 mg/dL, Bilirubin (unconjugated) at 5 mg/dL, Lipemia (Intralipid) at 200 mg/dL) are less tolerant than the new device in some cases for Bilirubin and Lipemia. |
2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance
- Method Comparison (vs. Predicate CREA Assay):
- Serum: 191 remnant de-identified patient samples.
- Urine: 113 patient samples.
- Provenance: Remnant de-identified samples. "No patient history information was obtained on these samples." The studies were conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D organization personnel, implying a US-based setting. The data is retrospective as it used "remnant de-identified serum/urine samples."
- Method Comparison (vs. IDMS Reference Method):
- Serum: 48 remnant de-identified patient samples.
- Provenance: Remnant de-identified samples. "No patient history information was obtained on these samples." Conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D. Retrospective.
- Serum Plasma Equivalency:
- Samples: 56 matched serum and lithium heparin plasma samples.
- Provenance: "All samples in the study were fresh and never frozen." The eight spiked sample sets were prepared. Conducted internally by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic Inc. R&D. Retrospective, likely sourced from a local population.
- Precision:
- Samples: Two serum pools, three levels of BioRad Multiqual material, two levels of BioRad Liquicheck material, and two urine pools. Testing involved 20 days with 2 separate runs and 2 test samples for each material. The specific number of individual patient samples is not given, as this study uses control materials and pools.
- Provenance: Not specified, but likely prepared internally or from commercial sources.
- Limit of Blank/Detection (LoB/LoD):
- Samples: 4 samples with no analyte (for LoB), 4 low patient serum/urine samples (for LoD). Each tested for 3 days, one run per day, across 2 reagent lots.

- Provenance: Likely developed from internal pools and commercially available substances.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This section is not applicable to this type of device (in vitro diagnostic for quantitative measurement of creatinine). The "ground truth" for clinical chemistry assays like creatinine is established by:
- Reference methods (e.g., IDMS, considered the "gold standard" for creatinine measurement in some contexts).
- Predicate devices (already cleared and established to perform reliably).
- Known concentrations in control materials or spiked samples.
There are no human "experts" (like radiologists interpreting images) involved in establishing ground truth for the test set in this context. The "personnel carrying out the study were laboratory technicians with training similar to personnel who would conduct the tests in a hospital laboratory setting."
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This concept of "adjudication" is typical for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., medical imaging, pathology slides) where there might be disagreement among readers. For an automated in vitro diagnostic device, the measurement is quantitative and typically objective. Therefore, an adjudication method for the test set is not applicable. The "ground truth" is determined by instrumental readings and reference methods.
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
An MRMC study is not applicable here. This device is a fully automated in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Its performance is evaluated against chemical reference methods and a predicate device, not in terms of how it assists human interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Yes, this entire submission and its performance data represent a standalone (algorithm only) performance evaluation. The device is an automated clinical chemistry system that measures creatinine levels directly from biological samples (serum, plasma, urine) without human intervention in the interpretation of the core measurement. The reported results (slope, intercept, correlation, precision, LoB/LoD, linearity, interference) directly reflect the device's inherent analytical performance.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The ground truth used for evaluating the Dimension® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge includes:
- Reference Method: The IDMS (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry) method for creatinine measurement. This is considered a highly accurate and precise reference method.
- Predicate Device: The Creatinine Method for Use on the Dimension® Clinical Chemistry System (CREA, K925668). The predicate device's cleared performance serves as a benchmark for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
- Known Concentrations: For studies like precision, LoB/LoD, linearity, and interference, known concentrations of analytes in control materials, spiked samples, or blank samples serve as the ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
This document describes a 510(k) submission for an in vitro diagnostic reagent cartridge that uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique (a traditional chemical assay), not a machine learning or AI-based device. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm is not applicable. The "training" for such a device would refer to its development and optimization based on chemical principles, rather than data-driven machine learning.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As answered in point 8, the device does not employ a training set in the context of an AI/ML algorithm. Its "ground truth" for development and calibration would be rooted in established chemical and analytical principles, reference measurement procedures (like IDMS), and potentially existing characterized samples. The manufacturing process of reagents, calibrators, and the instrument's detection capabilities are based on fundamental scientific understanding rather than a data training process as understood in AI/ML.

The Dimension Vista® Creatinine (CRE2) Flex® reagent cartridge uses a modified kinetic Jaffe technique. In the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, picrate reacts with creatinine to form a red chromophore. The rate of increasing absorbance at 510 nm due to the formation of this chromophore is directly proportional to the creatinine concentration in the sample and is measured using a bichromatic (510, 577 nm) rate technique.

Interfering Substances | Bias exceeding 10% is considered interference. Dilution studies determine the level at which spiked substances no longer display significant interference. | Demonstrated concentrations where various substances cause 10% bias, the concentration at which interference is no longer significant through dilution. For example, Acetone interferes at 150 mg/dL (18% bias) but not at 75 mg/dL (9% bias). Bilirubin (unconjugated) at 40mg/dL shows -29.6% bias at low creatinine, but 20mg/dL shows -0.2% bias. |

Hemoglobin shows no significant interference at 1000 mg/dL (~7% and 3% bias). Bilirubin (unconjugated) at 40 mg/dL shows -29.6% interference at low creatinine levels. Bilirubin (conjugated) shows 16.1% interference at 40 mg/dL at low creatinine levels. |

- Method Comparison (Predicate Device):
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the test set in the context of clinical interpretation. For method comparison, the "ground truth" for the new device was established by comparison to a legally marketed predicate device (Dimension Vista® Creatinine (CREA) Flex® reagent cartridge) and the IDMS reference method. These are analytical "gold standards" rather than expert interpretation. -
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. The reported studies are analytical performance evaluations of a quantitative laboratory test, not diagnostic interpretations requiring adjudication. -
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 quantitative in vitro diagnostic test for creatinine, not an imaging or interpretive device that would typically involve human readers or AI assistance in the way an MRMC study would assess. -
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Yes, these are all standalone (algorithm only) performance studies. The device itself performs the quantitative measurement of creatinine from samples without human interpretation in the loop of the measurement. -
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For Method Comparison studies: The ground truth was established by two primary methods:
- Comparison to a predicate device (Dimension Vista® Creatinine (CREA) Flex® reagent cartridge).
- Comparison to the IDMS reference method (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry), which is a highly accurate and precise analytical method often considered a "gold standard" for creatinine measurements.
- For Expected Values studies: Published reference ranges in scientific literature (e.g., Tietz 1999, Clin Chem 54:3 (2008), Clin Chem Acta 344 (2004) 137-148) served as the basis for validating the established ranges for the new device.
- For LoQ validation: Allowable total error limits published by regulatory and accreditation bodies (CLIA, CAP, AAB, NYS, WSLH) were used. The reference values are traceable to IDMS.
- For Method Comparison studies: The ground truth was established by two primary methods:
-
The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable in the context of typical AI/machine learning studies. This device is a reagent cartridge for an automated clinical chemistry system, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that undergoes 'training' in the conventional sense with labeled data. The development and internal refinement of the reagent formulation and measurement parameters would be analogous to "training" but is not quantified in terms of a discrete sample set size like this. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable for the same reasons as above. The "ground truth" for developing such a system would involve rigorous analytical chemistry principles, extensive experimentation, and calibration using traceable standards (e.g., NIST SRM 914a (IDMS assigned crystalline creatinine standard)).

A creatinine test system is a device intended to measure creatinine levels in serum, plasma and urine. Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
Creatinine is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative analysis of creatinine in human serum, plasma, or urine. At an alkaline pH, creatinine in the sample reacts with picrate in the reagent to form a creatinine-picrate complex. The rate of increase in absorbance at 500 nm due to the formation of this complex is directly proportional to the concentration of creatinine in the sample.
Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary, focusing on acceptance criteria and the supporting study:
The document describes a Special 510(k) submission for a modified Creatinine assay for urine application. The acceptance criteria for the modified assay are implicitly based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Roche Creatinine assay urine application on the Hitachi 917 Analyzer) and a previously cleared version of the Creatinine assay (K061193) on the Abbott AEROSET® System and ARCHITECT® cSystems.
The primary study conducted is a comparative performance study.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Metric (Implicit) | Predicate/Reference Performance (Roche Creatinine assay on Hitachi 917 Analyzer) | Modified Device Performance (AEROSET System creatinine assay) | Modified Device Performance (ARCHITECT c8000 System creatinine assay) | Meets Criteria? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Method Comparison | Correlation Coefficient (R) vs. Roche Creatinine assay on Hitachi 917 Analyzer | - (Reference) | 0.9992 | 0.9990 | Yes |
Method Comparison | Slope vs. Roche Creatinine assay on Hitachi 917 Analyzer | - (Reference) | 1.01 | 0.97 | Yes |
Method Comparison | Y-intercept (mg/dL) vs. Roche Creatinine assay on Hitachi 917 Analyzer | - (Reference) | -0.43 | 0.36 | Yes |
Method Comparison | Correlation Coefficient (R) vs. AEROSET System Creatinine assay (for ARCHITECT c8000 comparison) | 0.9992 (AEROSET) | N/A | 0.9992 | Yes |
Method Comparison | Slope vs. AEROSET System Creatinine assay (for ARCHITECT c8000 comparison) | 1.01 (AEROSET) | N/A | 0.96 | Yes |
Method Comparison | Y-intercept (mg/dL) vs. AEROSET System Creatinine assay (for ARCHITECT c8000 comparison) | -0.43 (AEROSET) | N/A | 1.23 | Yes |
Linearity | Range | 5.00 to 740.00 mg/dL (Implied predicate range is similar or within this) | 5.00 to 740.00 mg/dL | 5.00 to 740.00 mg/dL | Yes |
Limit of Quantitation (Sensitivity) | Value (for urine application) | 5.00 mg/dL (Implied predicate value is similar) | 5.00 mg/dL | 5.00 mg/dL | Yes |
Precision | Total %CV for Level 1 (urine application on ARCHITECT c8000 System) | (Implied acceptable range) | N/A | 1.34% | Yes |
Precision | Total %CV for Level 2 (urine application on ARCHITECT c8000 System) | (Implied acceptable range) | N/A | 1.27% | Yes |
Note: The document states "acceptable correlation" and "similar Performance Characteristics," implying the reported values met predetermined acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence to the predicate and the previously cleared device. Specific quantitative acceptance thresholds for correlation coefficients, slopes, intercepts, or %CV are not explicitly listed, but the reported values are presented as meeting these criteria.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the sample size (number of urine samples) used for the comparative performance studies. It mentions "Comparative performance studies were conducted" but does not quantify the number of samples.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. The document does not mention the country of origin of the data or whether the study was retrospective or prospective. It only indicates that "Comparative performance studies were conducted."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
This type of diagnostic device (Creatinine assay) does not rely on human experts to establish "ground truth" for individual test results in the way image analysis or clinical diagnosis devices do. The "ground truth" for the test set is established by the performance of the predicate device (Roche Creatinine assay urine application on the Hitachi 917 Analyzer) and the previously cleared device (Creatinine assay on the Abbott AEROSET® System). The performance metrics of the modified device are compared against the measurements obtained from these established methods.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. As this is a quantitative chemical assay, "adjudication" in the sense of multiple human readers resolving discrepancies is not relevant. The comparison is made directly between numerical measurements from different instruments/assays.
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 is relevant for devices that involve human interpretation (e.g., radiologists reading images) where the AI assists the human. This 510(k) is for an in vitro diagnostic assay, which provides a direct quantitative measurement, not an interpretation aid.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Yes, in essence, standalone performance was assessed. The Creatinine assay itself is a standalone algorithm/method that directly measures creatinine levels. Its performance is evaluated by comparing its quantitative results against those of predicate methods. There is no "human-in-the-loop" once the sample is loaded and the assay begins to run.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for evaluating the modified Creatinine assay is the measurements obtained from the legally marketed predicate device (Roche Creatinine assay urine application on the Hitachi 917 Analyzer) and the previously cleared version of the same Creatinine assay (on the Abbott AEROSET® System). This is a form of comparative measurement ground truth, where the reference standard is another recognized and validated method.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly mention a "training set" in the context of an algorithm that learns from data. This submission is for an assay, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a separate training phase. The "modifications" were to calibration and assay parameters, implying adjustments based on known chemical principles and potentially internal studies, rather than a data-driven machine learning training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As noted above, this is an in vitro diagnostic assay based on chemical reactions, not a machine learning algorithm with a training set. The "ground truth" for the calibration and assay parameters would be based on the principles of the Jaffe reaction, and reference standards like NIST SRM 914 and NIST SRM 967, which are IDMS traceable.
