Device: ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT 4+1 SL reagent on Vital Scientific Selectra Junior Analyzer.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ABX PENTRA AST CP and Vitalab Flexor). The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating comparable performance to the predicate device within acceptable ranges for clinical diagnostic assays. The table below summarizes the performance metrics reported for the subject device.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate) | Reported Device Performance (ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT 4+1 SL) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precision | Comparable to predicate | Within-run:- Level 21.2 U/L: CV=2.3%- Level 46.4 U/L: CV=0.8%- Level 203.4 U/L: CV=0.5% | These CVs (Coefficient of Variation) demonstrate good within-run reproducibility. |
| Total:- Level 21.2 U/L: CV=3.8%- Level 46.4 U/L: CV=1.2%- Level 203.4 U/L: CV=2.7% | These CVs demonstrate good total precision. | ||
| Method Comparison | Strong correlation with predicate (e.g., R² > 0.98, slope ~1, intercept ~0) | $y = 1.016x - 1.86$ U/L$R^2 = 0.9998$Range: 9.5 to 234.4 U/L | Excellent correlation ($R^2=0.9998$) to the predicate method, indicating substantial agreement over the tested range. The slope is very close to 1 and the intercept close to 0. |

| Calibration Frequency | Clinically acceptable stability (Predicate: 8 days) | 28 days | Improved calibration frequency compared to the predicate, indicating better stability. |
| On-board Stability | Clinically acceptable stability (Predicate: 55 days) | 28 days (refrigerated area) | Slightly shorter, but still well within typical clinical laboratory operational periods for on-board reagents. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes used for the precision and method comparison studies. However, for diagnostic device submissions, "levels" (e.g., Level 21.2 U/L, Level 46.4 U/L, Level 203.4 U/L for precision studies) typically refer to replicates of control materials or pooled patient samples at different concentrations. A method comparison study using a range of 9.5 to 234.4 U/L implies a set of patient samples covering a broad clinical range.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated for each study, but implied to be sufficient for statistical analysis of precision (CVs) and method comparison ($R^2$ and linear regression parameters).
- Data Provenance: The submitter is SEPPIM S.A.S. located in France. The studies were likely conducted in a setting compliant with regulatory standards (e.g., GLP/GCP-like principles) for diagnostic device validation. The document does not explicitly state if the samples were retrospective or prospective, nor does it specify the country of origin for the patient samples, but given the manufacturer's location, the data most likely originates from France or other European countries.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The device is a quantitative clinical chemistry assay for AST. For such assays, "ground truth" is typically established by comparing the results of the new device to a legally marketed predicate device or a reference method, rather than through expert consensus on individual results.
- The ground truth for the method comparison study was established by the predicate device (ABX PENTRA AST CP) or a method traceable to IFCC formulation.
- Number of Experts: Not applicable in the context of establishing ground truth for a quantitative biochemical assay. Experts are involved in setting the performance specifications and interpreting the results, but not in generating the "ground truth" values for the samples themselves in this type of study.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in imaging studies or other diagnostic scenarios where human interpretation is subjective and consensus among experts is needed to establish a definitive "ground truth" diagnosis.
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. For quantitative biochemical assays, the comparison is made directly between the numerical results of the candidate device and the predicate/reference method.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size of Human Improvement with/without AI
- MRMC Study: No, this is not an MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This device is a fully automated in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent and analyzer system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool requiring human-in-the-loop performance evaluation involving multiple readers.
- Effect Size of Human Improvement with/without AI: Not applicable, as there is no human-in-the-loop interaction or AI component discussed for this specific diagnostic device in the provided text.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Standalone Performance: Yes, the performance data presented (precision, method comparison, measuring range, calibration frequency, on-board stability) represents the standalone performance of the ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT 4+1 SL reagent when used on the Vital Scientific Selectra Junior Analyzer. It describes the direct analytical capabilities of the system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: The primary type of ground truth used for performance evaluation (specifically, method comparison) is comparison to a legally marketed predicate device/method (ABX PENTRA AST CP, optimized UV test according to IFCC modified method without pyridoxal phosphate). For precision, it's based on repeated measurements of control materials or pooled samples.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This submission describes a diagnostic reagent and analyzer system, not a machine learning or AI-driven algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The development of such chemical reagents and assay protocols does not involve machine learning training data.
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no "training set" for this type of IVD device, this question is not applicable. The development of the reagent assay formulation (Modified IFCC method without pyridoxal-phosphate) is based on established biochemical principles and extensive R&D, rather than machine learning on a dataset with pre-established ground truth.

Trulab N and TruLab P controls-Serum based control serum in normal and pathological range for use in quality control for monitoring accuracy and precision of the quantitative DiaSys ASAT (GOT) FS assay on Hitachi 917.
The furnished document is a 510(k) premarket notification for an in vitro diagnostic device, the DiaSys ASAT (GOT) FS assay, TruCal U calibrator, and TruLab N and TruLab P controls. This type of regulatory submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than providing extensive independent clinical study data with predefined acceptance criteria as might be seen for novel devices.
Therefore, the information regarding acceptance criteria and a detailed study proving the device meets these criteria is limited and primarily presented in the context of comparison to the predicate device.
Here's the breakdown of the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the studies in the same way a clinical trial would. Instead, it presents performance characteristics and compares them to the predicate device, implying that equivalence to the predicate's performance is the de facto acceptance criterion.
| Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (DiaSys ASAT (GOT) FS assay) |
|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Equivalent to predicate device. | The ASAT (GOT) FS assay is intended for quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of the activity of the enzyme aspartate amino transferase (AST) in human serum and lithium heparin plasma on the Hitachi 917 instrument. Measurement of aspartate amino transferase levels aids in the diagnosis and treatment of certain types of liver and heart disease. (Similar to predicate, though predicate includes EDTA plasma). |
| Assay Protocol | Equivalent to predicate device. | 2-reagent method: modified IFCC reference method (without P-5-P) or 2-reagent method: IFCC reference method (P-5-P concentrate mixed into R1). (Similar to predicate, predicate uses P-5-P tablet). |
| Traceability | Standardized against IFCC formulation. | Standardized against the original IFCC formulation with and without pyridoxal phosphate. (Same as predicate). |
| Reagent Storage | Comparable shelf life and on-board stability to predicate. | Storage: 2-8°C, Shelf Life R1 - 15 months, R2 - 15 months, P-5-P - 24 months. On Board R1(no P-5-P) - 4 weeks, R1(with P-5-P) - 6 days, R2 - 4 weeks. (Comparable but some differences to predicate). |
| Instrument | Hitachi 917. | Hitachi 917. (Same as predicate). |
| Measuring Range | Comparable to predicate device. | 7-700 U/L. (Predicate: 4-800 U/L). |
| Expected Values | Consistent with clinical understanding and predicate device. | With P-5-P activation: Women <31 U/L, Men <35 U/L. Without P-5-P activation: Women <31 U/L, Men <35 U/L. (Predicate: Men up to 40 U/L, Women up to 32 U/L). |
| Precision | Comparable to predicate device. | With P-5-P (N=80): Within Run (Low serum: 1.08%, Middle serum: 1.12%, High serum: 0.93%), Between Run (Low serum: 2.42%, Middle serum: 3.26%, High serum: 0.14%), Total (Low serum: 2.84%, Middle serum: 4.41%, High serum: 1.22%). Without P-5-P (N=80): Within Run (Low serum: 1.32%, Middle serum: 1.13%, High serum: 0.83%), Between Run (Low serum: 3.19%, Middle serum: 3.85%, High serum: 0.57%), Total (Low serum: 3.81%, Middle serum: 5.06%, High serum: 1.30%). (Predicate: Within Run serum: 1.8%, Low: 2.1%, High: 1.1%; Between Run serum: 3.2%, Low: 3.2%, High: 1.8%). Numbers appear comparable or better. |
| Method Comparison | Strong correlation with a commercially available test (predicate). | With P-5-P: $y = 0.975 x + 4.414$ U/L; r2 = 0.9999. (139 serum samples, range 20-639 U/L). Without P-5-P: $y = 1.065 x + 0.215$ U/L; r2 = 0.9994. (139 serum samples, range 12-654 U/L). (Predicate: Passing/Bablock: $y=1.01x-0.93$, Linear regression $y=1.01x-0.75$, r=1.000 for 91 samples, range 11-690 U/L). The r-squared values for the subject device are very high, indicating excellent agreement. |
| Interferences | Recovery within ± 10% of initial value. | Without P-5-P: Interference < 10% by: Ascorbic acid up to 30 mg/dL, Conj. Bilirubin up to 60 mg/dL, Unconj. Bilirubin up to 24 mg/dL, Triglycerides up to 400 mg/dL. With P-5-P: Interference < 10% by: Ascorbic acid up to 30 mg/dL, Conj. Bilirubin up to 36 mg/dL, Unconj. Bilirubin up to 24 mg/dL, Triglycerides up to 400 mg/dL. (Predicate criterion: Hemolysis: 25 mg/dL, Icterus: 60 mg/dL, Lipemia: L index of 500). The ranges for non-interference are reported, showing the device meets these criteria for the tested interferents. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Precision Test Set Sample Size: N=80 for both "With P-5-P" and "Without P-5-P" conditions. The N=80 refers to the total number of measurements, likely across different runs and samples (e.g., low, middle, high serum levels).
- Method Comparison Test Set Sample Size: 139 serum samples.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The document does not specify if the data is retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of a 510(k) for an in vitro diagnostic, these are typically laboratory-based performance studies done on collected human samples.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This section is not applicable for this type of in vitro diagnostic device. The "ground truth" for the ASAT assay is the quantitative measurement of enzyme activity, which is established by comparison to a reference method (IFCC formulation) or a commercially available, well-established method (the predicate device) on clinical chemistry analyzers, not by expert consensus or interpretation of images.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This section is not applicable for this type of in vitro diagnostic device, as the performance is based on quantitative measurements rather than qualitative interpretations requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. These studies are typically relevant for diagnostic imaging systems where human readers interpret medical images with and without AI assistance. This device is an in vitro diagnostic assay that generates quantitative numerical results, not images for human interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was Done
Yes, the performance studies described (Precision, Method Comparison, Interferences) report the standalone performance of the DiaSys ASAT (GOT) FS assay. This device is an automated assay on a clinical chemistry analyzer (Hitachi 917), meaning its performance is inherently standalone (algorithm/reagent/instrument only) once the sample is loaded. There isn't a "human-in-the-loop" aspect to the analytical measurement process itself, beyond the initial sample preparation and loading.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" in these studies is established through either:
- Reference Method Comparison: The ASAT values are traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) formulation.
- Comparative Device Measurement: For method comparison, the results of the subject device (DiaSys ASAT (GOT) FS assay) are compared against a "commercially available test (x)" on the Hitachi 917, which is the predicate device or a similar established method. This established method's results serve as the comparative "truth."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document is a 510(k) for a chemical assay, not an AI/machine learning device. Therefore, there is no concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The "development" of the assay involves chemical formulation and calibration, which are different from training an algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
As there is no training set for an algorithm, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for calibrator values is established through traceability to IFCC standards.

Activated Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (also known as a serum glutamic oxaloacetic transferase or SGOT) in serum and plasma. Aspartate aminotransferase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain types of liver and heart disease.
Abbott Laboratories Activated AST is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitation of aspartate aminotransferase (also known as serum glutamic oxaloacetic transferase or SGOT) in human serum or plasma. The Abbott Laboratories Activated AST assay is a clinical chemistry assay in which the aspartate aminotransferase catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from L-aspartate to a-ketoglutarate, in the presence of pyridoxal-5'phosphate, forming oxaloacetate and L-glutamate. Oxaloacetate in the presence of NADH and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is reduced to L-malate. In this reaction, the NADH is concomitantly oxidized to NAD. The reaction is monitored by measuring the rate of decrease in absorbance at 340 nm due to the oxidation of NADH to NAD.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Abbott Laboratories Activated AST assay, structured to address your specific points:
Since this document describes a diagnostic assay and not an AI/ML device, many of the requested points related to AI/ML specific studies (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable. The study design described is a comparative performance study against a predicate device, which is standard for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays for 510(k) clearance.
Acceptance Criteria and Study Summary for Abbott Laboratories Activated AST Assay
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence are implicitly defined by the demonstration of comparable performance to the predicate device, specifically in terms of correlation (regression analysis) and precision.
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Predicate Comparison) | Reported Device Performance (New Device vs. Predicate) |
|---|---|---|
| Method Comparison (Correlation Coefficient) | High correlation (e.g., >0.97, common for IVD) with predicate device. | - Abbott AEROSET: 0.999 (slope 1.06, Y-intercept 3.79 U/L) - ARCHITECT c8000: 0.999 (slope 1.01, Y-intercept -4.15 U/L) - ARCHITECT c16000: 0.999 (slope 1.03, Y-intercept -3.75 U/L) |
| Precision (Total %CV) | Acceptable within-laboratory precision for different AST levels (typically varies by concentration). | ARCHITECT c8000: - Level 1 (43 U/L): 4.5% (20 Day) - Level 2 (192 U/L): 1.0% (20 Day) - Level 3 (23 U/L): 2.4% (5 Day) - Level 4 (3,437 U/L): 0.7% (5 Day) AEROSET System: - Level 1 (46 U/L): 2.3% (5 Day) - Level 2 (205 U/L): 0.7% (5 Day) ARCHITECT c16000 System: - Level 1 (45 U/L): 1.8% (5 Day) - Level 2 (197 U/L): 0.5% (5 Day) |
| Linearity | Demonstrate accuracy across a clinically relevant range. | Linear up to 1,985 U/L. |
| Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) | Define the lowest concentration that can be accurately measured. | 5 U/L (with Flex Rate linearity up to 5,364 U/L). |
The study demonstrates that the Abbott Laboratories Activated AST assay on various Abbott platforms (AEROSET, ARCHITECT c8000, ARCHITECT c16000) achieves a very high correlation (0.999) with the predicate device (Abbott AST Activated, K981221) on the AEROSET System. The reported precision (total %CV) values are varied but generally low, indicating good reproducibility. The linearity and limit of quantitation also support the device's performance across its intended measuring range.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not explicitly state the number of samples used for the method comparison (correlation) or precision studies. It mentions "Comparative performance studies were conducted" and "Precision studies were conducted," providing the results without specific sample counts for each.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. Given the "Abbott Laboratories" submitter in Irving, TX, USA, it is highly probable the studies were conducted in the USA. The studies are prospective in nature, as they involve running samples on the new device and comparing them to a predicate device, which implies collecting or generating data for the specific purpose of the 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This is not applicable as this is an in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI/ML device relying on human expert annotations for ground truth. The "ground truth" for this assay is the measurement obtained from the legally marketed predicate device, which itself would have undergone rigorous validation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for an in vitro diagnostic assay. Performance is assessed by direct comparison of numerical results to the predicate device and established analytical performance metrics (e.g., correlation, precision).
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 assay, not an AI/ML device for aiding human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
For an IVD, the "standalone" performance is essentially what is evaluated. The device itself (reagents + instrument system) performs the measurement. The results of the comparative performance studies and precision studies represent the standalone performance of the assay. There isn't an "algorithm only" in the sense of AI/ML, but rather the chemical reaction and photometric measurement by the instrument.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for demonstrating substantial equivalence is the performance of the legally marketed predicate device (Abbott AST Activated assay, K981221 on the Abbott AEROSET System). The goal is to show the new device yields "similar results" and "similar Performance Characteristics" to this predicate.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is an IVD assay, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set in that context. The "training" for such a system would involve method development and optimization, but not in the sense of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML device. For an IVD, the initial method development and optimization would rely on established analytical chemistry principles and potentially reference methods, but this is distinct from establishing ground truth for machine learning.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Method Comparison:
- 1-reagent method: N = 83 (samples)
- 3-reagent method: N = 84 (samples)
- Precision studies involve multiple measurements at different concentration levels, typically using control materials, but the exact number of individual patient samples for a "test set" demonstrating general performance is not explicitly stated beyond the method comparison.
- Method Comparison:
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. Given that Thermo Fisher Scientific Oy is based in Finland, it is plausible that some studies were conducted there. The context of a 510(k) submission implies that the data would be collected to support the safety and effectiveness for a US market.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable as this is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device (a laboratory test), not an AI/ML diagnostic imaging device that requires expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for IVDs is typically established by reference methods or validated comparative analyses, not expert consensus.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for an IVD device. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology reads) where discrepancies need to be resolved.
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 information is not applicable as this is an IVD device and not an AI/ML-powered diagnostic imaging or interpretation system that would involve human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable as this is an IVD device, which inherently operates as a "standalone" test (algorithm only in the sense of the chemical reactions and measurement, without human interpretive input for the result itself). The device's performance is measured directly by its analytical accuracy, precision, and agreement with reference methods.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for this type of IVD device is established through:
- Reference Methods: The device's performance is compared against established reference methods, such as the IFCC reference method or the predicate device (Bayer ADVIA IMS AST assay), which serves as a clinical comparison.
- Traceability to Standards: The 1-reagent method is traceable to the molar absorbance coefficient of NADH, and the 3-reagent method is traceable to the IFCC reference method.
- Known Concentrations: Precision studies involve testing samples with known or controlled concentrations of the analyte.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable as this is a chemical assay, not an AI/ML model that requires a "training set." The assay method is based on established chemical principles and does not "learn" from data in the way an AI algorithm does.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" in the context of this IVD device.

Acceptance Criteria (Implicit Summary): The acceptance criteria are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence between the performance of the cobas c 111 analyzer and its reagents for the new point-of-care intended use and its established professional use, primarily by showing comparable precision, analytical sensitivity, measuring range, interference profiles, and method comparison results against a predicate device (Integra 400). The word "Same" is frequently used, indicating that the performance metrics achieved for the professional use are expected to be maintained for the point-of-care use. Significant deviations would require further justification or modification.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The "test set" in this context refers to the samples used to evaluate the device's performance for the new point-of-care intended use. These samples are detailed in the "Method Comparison" section:
- Test Set Sample Sizes:
- AST: n = 333 (for point-of-care use)
- Glucose: n = 333 (for point-of-care use)
- CRP: n = 326 (for point-of-care use)
- ISE-Cl: n = 280 (for point-of-care use)
- ISE-K: n = 280 (for point-of-care use)
- ISE-Na: n = 280 (for point-of-care use)
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. However, the study focuses on in-vitro diagnostic performance using human serum, plasma, and urine samples. The nature of performance studies for in-vitro diagnostics typically involves prospective collection of samples or use of archived, de-identified human biological samples that cover the relevant measuring ranges.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
For in-vitro diagnostic devices like the cobas c 111 analyzer, "ground truth" and "experts" are typically interpreted differently than in imaging or AI-driven diagnostic studies.
- Ground Truth: The ground truth for this device is established by a reference method or a predicate device with a known and established measurement accuracy. In this case, the Integra 400 system is used as the comparative method. The values obtained from the Integra 400 are considered the reference or "ground truth" for comparison.
- Experts: The study design does not involve human experts establishing a diagnostic "ground truth" through interpretation. Instead, the "expertise" lies in the established analytical performance characteristics, calibration, and standardization of the Integra 400 and the rigorous laboratory practices followed during the study.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically relevant for studies where human readers or experts are interpreting results and consensus is needed to establish ground truth or resolve discrepancies, particularly in imaging or pathology.
- No Adjudication Method: For this type of in-vitro diagnostic device performance study, there is no mention or indication of an adjudication method. The comparison is quantitative between the device under test (cobas c 111) and the predicate device (Integra 400), based on measured numerical values. Statistical methods (e.g., Passing-Bablok regression, correlation coefficients) are used to analyze the agreement between the two methods, not an adjudication process.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
MRMC studies are primarily used in diagnostic imaging or other fields where multiple human readers interpret cases, and the study aims to assess how an AI system might affect their performance (e.g., improving accuracy, reducing reading time). This submission is for an in-vitro diagnostic device, which outputs quantitative measurements, and its performance is evaluated through analytical correlation and precision, not human interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done.
The data presented directly evaluates the performance of the cobas c 111 analyzer (an automated system performing the "algorithm" of chemical analysis) and its reagents without direct human intervention in the measurement process itself. The "human-in-the-loop" here refers to the operator initiating the test and interpreting the result, but the analytical performance data (precision, method comparison) reflects the device's inherent capability. The expansion to "point-of-care" suggests a different type of operator, but the core analytical engine operates independently for measurement.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The type of ground truth used is based on comparison to a legally marketed predicate device (Integra 400) and established reference methods/standards.
- For method comparison, the results from the Integra 400 are considered the reference.
- For traceability and standardization, internationally recognized standards and methods are used (e.g., IFCC formulation for AST, ID/MS for Glucose, IRMM - BCR470/CRM470 for CRP, gravimetrically prepared primary calibrators for ISE). These constitute the ultimate "ground truth" for the accuracy of measurements.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify a training set sample size.
This is because the cobas c 111 is a clinical chemistry analyzer, not a machine learning or AI algorithm in the contemporary sense that learns from a training dataset. The "training" of such a device involves:
- Engineering design and optimization
- Method development for specific reagents
- Calibration using master calibrators.
The performance characteristics (measuring range, sensitivity, precision, interference) are established through analytical validation studies, not by training a computational model on a large dataset. The reagents themselves have defined formulations and reaction kinetics.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As mentioned above, the concept of a "training set" and associated "ground truth" in the machine learning sense does not apply directly to this in-vitro diagnostic analyzer.
Instead, the analytical "ground truth" is established through:
- International standards and reference materials: Such as IFCC, ID/MS, and IRMM standards mentioned in the "Traceability/Standardization" section. These provide the accurate values for calibration and control materials.
- Validated reference methods: The Integra 400 itself is a validated instrument used as a comparison method, implying its results are considered accurate and reliable.
The device is calibrated using these standards and validated against reference instruments to ensure its measurements are accurate and consistent.

Specific limits for standard and exception analytes. | Once opened, control components (general): 12 hours at 15-25°C, 5 days at 2-8°C, 1 month at -25 to -15°C. Exceptions for Direct Bilirubin and Total Bilirubin with shorter stabilities as listed in the document. |
Study Details:
The provided document describes a premarket notification (510(k)) submission, which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting a full-scale clinical effectiveness study as might be seen for novel devices. The performance data presented are used to support this substantial equivalence claim.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Correlation Study: n=103 (for the ABX PENTRA AST CP reagent).
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. Given the manufacturer (Horiba ABX Company) is based in France, it is likely that at least some, if not all, of the data originated from studies conducted in France or related European sites. For in vitro diagnostic devices, method validation studies are typically prospective.
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. For in vitro diagnostic assays like this, "ground truth" for method comparisons is typically established by comparing the candidate device's results against a well-established, often FDA-cleared or gold standard, reference method or predicate device, rather than expert consensus on individual cases. The correlation data (Y = 0.99 x + 1.25 with r² = 0.9963) refers to this type of comparison.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- This concept of "adjudication method" (like 2+1 or 3+1) is not applicable to this type of in vitro diagnostic device study. Adjudication usually refers to a process in diagnostic imaging or clinical trials where multiple human readers or clinicians evaluate cases and resolve discrepancies. For this blood test device, performance is evaluated through analytical methods (precision, accuracy, correlation to a reference method).
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for medical imaging AI devices that assist human interpretation, not for an in vitro diagnostic chemistry analyzer and its associated reagents and controls. The device described here is for quantitative measurement of a biochemical marker, not for interpreting complex human data like radiology images.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- This device is essentially a standalone device in terms of its ability to perform the measurement. The ABX PENTRA 400 analyzer (the platform) and the ABX PENTRA AST CP reagent system measure AST levels, and this measurement is done by the automated system without direct human interpretation of the "result generation" process for each test. The human "in the loop" is the lab technician who loads samples, ensures quality control, and reviews the reported numerical results. The performance metrics provided (detection limit, accuracy, precision, measuring range, correlation, stability) all reflect the standalone analytical performance of the system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for the ABX PENTRA AST CP reagent and the associated controls/calibrators is implicitly established by comparison to a predicate device (K801118) and likely other well-established or reference analytical methods for AST measurement. The correlation study directly relates the device's measurements (Y) to those of a comparator (x), which serves as the "truth" or reference for the study's purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence. For calibrators and controls, ground truth relates to their assigned values and their stability characteristics under various conditions.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission for an in vitro diagnostic reagent system. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This device is a chemical reagent and an automated analyzer, not an AI/ML-based diagnostic tool. The development process would involve extensive analytical validation experiments, but not a "training set" in the AI sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As stated above, the concept of a "training set" and associated "ground truth establishment" for it does not apply to this type of device. The ground truth for analytical performance, as discussed in point 7, is established through comparison with established reference methods or predicate devices.

The WIENER LAB. GOT (AST) UV AA Líquida test system is a quantitative in vitro diagnostic device intended to be used in the quantitative determination of aspartate amino transferase (AST or GOT) in human serum and plasma on both manual and automated systems. Aspartate amino transferase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain types of liver and heart diseases.
Kinetic Method. The principle is based on the following reaction system: GOT (AST) L-aspartate + 2-oxoglutarate → Oxaloacetate + L-glutamate MDH Oxalacetate + NADH + H + → L-Malate + NAD + The rate of disappearance of NADH and the resulting decrease in absorbance at 340 nm is directly proportional to the activity of GOT (AST). AST or GOT: Aspartate Aminotransferase. MDH: Malate Dehydrogenase. NADH: Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide (Reduced) NAD + : Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide. H + : Proton.
The provided document describes the "Wiener lab. GOT (AST) UV AA Líquida" test system, a quantitative in vitro diagnostic device for determining aspartate aminotransferase (AST or GOT) in human serum and plasma. The device's performance is compared to a predicate device, "Wiener lab. GOT (AST) UV," to establish substantial equivalence.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing key performance characteristics. The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly set by matching or improving upon the performance of the predicate device.
| Performance Characteristic | Predicate Device (GOT (AST) UV) | New Device (GOT (AST) UV AA Líquida) | Acceptance Criteria Met? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Quantitative determination of Aspartate Aminotransferase in human serum and plasma. | Same | Yes |
| Test Principle | Kinetic Method, based on NADH disappearance. | Same | Yes |
| Reagents | Buffer: L-aspartate - TRIS. Substrate: NADH – MDH – LDH - 2-oxoglutarate. | Same core components, but reconfigured for "AA Líquida" (liquid ready-to-use). | Yes (Functional equivalence despite formulation difference) |
| Preparation of Working Reagent | Dissolution of Reagent with stated volume of Buffer. | Reagents may be used separately or as Monoreagent, mixing 4 parts Buffer and 1 part Substrate. | Yes (Improved convenience without altering fundamental reaction) |
| Wavelength of Reading | 334 - 340 - 366 nm | 340 nm | Yes (Within acceptable range, possibly optimized) |
| Linearity | 470 U/l | 700 U/l | Yes (Improved linearity) |
| Expected Values | Male: up to 38 U/l (37°C) Female: up to 32 U/l (37°C) | Same (Implicitly, as no change is indicated for fundamental biological range) | Yes |
| Within-run precision (Normal Level Serum) | CV = 4.4% | CV = 2.41% | Yes (Improved precision) |
| Within-run precision (High Level Serum) | CV = 1.3% | CV = 1.22% | Yes (Comparable/slightly improved precision) |
| Run-to-run precision (Normal Level Serum) | CV = 4.9% | CV = 2.26% | Yes (Improved precision) |
| Run-to-run precision (High Level Serum) | CV = 1.6% | CV = 2.16% | Yes (Comparable precision, slight increase but still within acceptable limits for a clinical assay, though not explicitly stated as 'improved') |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for the precision and linearity studies. It only provides the results (e.g., CV values and linearity range). The provenance of the data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is also not specified.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not applicable in this context. This device is a quantitative diagnostic assay, not an imaging or interpretive diagnostic tool that requires expert human interpretation to establish ground truth for testing. The "ground truth" for linearity and precision studies would be derived from the known concentrations or activities of reference materials, or statistical analysis of repeated measurements, not expert consensus on individual cases.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This is not applicable for the type of device and studies presented. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies involving subjective interpretation of medical images or other data where consensus among experts is needed.
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. The device is an in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This is not applicable in the sense of an "algorithm only" performance. The device is a chemical reagent system. Its performance (precision, linearity) is inherently "standalone" in the context of the assay itself, as it measures a biochemical parameter directly. There is no human interpretative "loop" in the direct performance of the assay.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
For linearity, the ground truth would be based on known concentrations or activities of control materials or serially diluted samples.
For precision, the ground truth is established statistically by repeated measurements on stable control materials or patient samples to assess the reproducibility of the assay.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
The document does not specify a training set in the context of machine learning or AI. For a traditional in vitro diagnostic assay like this, there isn't a "training set" in that sense. The assay's parameters (reagent concentrations, reaction conditions) are developed through chemical and biochemical optimization, often involving many experiments, but not a formally defined "training set" of patient data as would be found in AI/ML development.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
As there is no "training set" in the context of AI/ML for this device, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the development of reagent formulations and assay conditions would be based on established biochemical principles, analytical chemistry standards, and experimental results aimed at optimizing the reaction kinetics and stability.
