The provided text describes the Beckman Coulter Access Cortisol assay on the DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer and its comparison to a predicate device. Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Method Comparison | Slope criteria of 1.00 ± 0.12 (using Weighted Deming regression analysis when compared to predicate device) | Serum: Slope = 0.974 (95% CI: 0.952 - 0.996) Urine: Slope = 1.002 (95% CI: 0.976 - 1.029) |
| Linearity | Linear throughout the analytical measuring range. | Determined to be linear throughout the analytical measuring range (2.3 - 60.0 µg/dL). |
| Imprecision (Repeatability & Total) | Allowable imprecision of <12% at approximately 5 µg/dL and <10% for higher concentrations. | Control L1 (approx 3 µg/dL): Instrument 1: Repeatability CV = 4.8%, Total CV = 6.4% Instrument 2: Repeatability CV = 5.6%, Total CV = 7.2% Control L2 (approx 17.7 µg/dL): Instrument 1: Repeatability CV = 3.2%, Total CV = 3.6% Instrument 2: Repeatability CV = 2.8%, Total CV = 4.1% Control L3 (approx 27 µg/dL): Instrument 1: Repeatability CV = 3.0%, Total CV = 3.7% Instrument 2: Repeatability CV = 2.9%, Total CV = 3.6% Serum Pool (approx 47-49 µg/dL): Instrument 1: Repeatability CV = 2.7%, Total CV = 3.8% Instrument 2: Repeatability CV = 3.0%, Total CV = 5.0% |
| Detection Capability | Not explicitly stated as acceptance criteria, but results are provided for LoB, LoD, and LoQ. | Limit of Blank (LoB): ≤ 0.4 µg/dL Limit of Detection (LoD): ≤ 0.4 µg/dL Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) ≤ 20% within-lab CV: ≤ 0.8 µg/dL |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Method Comparison:
- Serum: N = 104
- Urine: N = 115
- Imprecision: For each of the two instruments and four control levels/serum pools, N = 80 measurements were performed (this implies 20 days x 2 replicates x 2 runs, or similar, over the course of the study).
- Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It does refer to "patient samples" for the method comparison, suggesting real-world samples.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable as the device is an in-vitro diagnostic test for cortisol levels, not an imaging device requiring expert interpretation of results for ground truth. The "ground truth" for comparison and performance evaluation is generally established by the predicate device's measurements and reference methods.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable for this type of in-vitro diagnostic device. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in studies involving subjective human interpretation (e.g., radiology reads) where discrepancies between assessors need to be resolved. For quantitative laboratory tests, "ground truth" is typically established by comparing against established reference methods or predicate devices.
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 the device is an in-vitro diagnostic test for cortisol levels, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This concept is not directly applicable in the same way it would be for an AI algorithm. The Access Cortisol assay on the DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer is an automated in-vitro diagnostic system. The "standalone" performance is essentially what is being evaluated in the method comparison, linearity, imprecision, and detection capability studies, where the system itself generates the quantitative results without subjective human interpretation as part of the core measurement. Human operators are involved in running the instrument and interpreting the numerical results, but the measurement itself is automated.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" in these studies is established by:
- Predicate Device Measurements: For the method comparison study, the Access Cortisol assay run on the predicate Access 2 Immunoassay System serves as the comparator or "reference" for evaluating the candidate device (Access Cortisol assay on the DxC 500i Clinical Analyzer).
- Reference Materials/Established Protocols: For linearity, imprecision, and detection capability, the ground truth is often tied to known concentrations in control materials, spiked samples, and established analytical performance specifications derived from CLSI guidelines. The calibrators use "Human serum containing cortisol (purified chemical compound) at levels of 0 and approximately 2, 5, 10, 25, and 60 µg/dL," with traceability to "USP Reference Material."
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not provided and is likely not explicitly documented in the submission for an IVD device of this nature. The instrument doesn't explicitly 'train' in the machine learning sense on a dataset. Its operational parameters are set during its development and validated through studies like those described.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As there's no explicitly mentioned "training set" in the context of machine learning, this question is not directly applicable. The device's operational characteristics and performance specifications are established through rigorous analytical verification and validation using known standards, controls, and patient samples, rather than a "training set" in the AI sense.

The provided text describes the performance of the Access TSH (3rd IS) Assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. This is an in vitro diagnostic device, and the detailed information typically provided for AI/ML devices regarding ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, and MRMC studies is not directly applicable to this type of device.
Here's a breakdown based on the information available:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Method Comparison | R² ≥ 0.90 and Slope 1.00 ± 0.10 | R²: 1.00 Slope: 1.06 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.07) Intercept: -0.019 (95% CI: -0.10, -0.0037) |
| Imprecision (Within-laboratory/Total) | Not explicitly stated as a single overall acceptance criterion, but implied to be within acceptable limits for a diagnostic assay. | For TSH concentrations > 0.02 µlU/mL: - %CV ranged from 2.5% to 4.5%. For TSH concentrations ≤ 0.02 µlU/mL: - SD ranged from 0.0007 to 0.0014. (Detailed table with specific sample means and SD/CV values provided in the text) |
| Reproducibility | SD ≤ 0.0038 for values ≤ 0.02 ulU/mL CV < 13.0% for values > 0.02 ulU/mL | For values ≤ 0.02 ulU/mL (Sample 1, mean 0.024): Overall Reproducibility SD = 0.0010 (meets criteria) For values > 0.02 ulU/mL: - Sample 2 (mean 0.37): Reproducibility CV = 4.3% (meets criteria) - Sample 3 (mean 4.8): Reproducibility CV = 3.7% (meets criteria) - Sample 5 (mean 12): Reproducibility CV = 3.8% (meets criteria) - Sample 4 (mean 46): Reproducibility CV = 3.4% (meets criteria) |
| Linearity | Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implies demonstration of accuracy across the measuring range. | Linear throughout the analytical measuring interval of approximately 0.01 - 50.0 µIU/mL (mIU/L). |
| Limit of Blank (LoB) | Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implies a low detection threshold. | 0.002 µIU/mL |
| Limit of Detection (LoD) | Not explicitly stated as a numerical criterion, but implies a low detection threshold. | 0.003 µIU/mL |
| Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) | LoQ must be greater than or equal to LoD. | Maximum LoQ determined was 0.001 µlU/mL, but reported as 0.003 µIU/mL to align with LoD, following CLSI EP17-A2 recommendation. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Method Comparison Test Set: 111 serum samples.
- Imprecision Test Set: 80 replicates per sample level across multiple runs/days.
- Reproducibility Test Set: 75 replicates per sample level.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). Given it's an in vitro diagnostic device, these samples are typically laboratory-generated or clinical samples collected for analytical validation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable to the analytical performance studies conducted for this in vitro diagnostic device. The "ground truth" for these studies is established by the reference method (the predicate device for method comparison) or by known concentrations/spikes for other performance characteristics like linearity, LoB, LoD, LoQ, and imprecision.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or for subjective interpretations of results, not for the analytical performance of an immunoassay system where quantitative measurements are directly compared.
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 device is an automated immunoassay analyzer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that requires human interpretation or aids human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, the studies presented as "Summary of studies" directly represent the standalone performance of the Access TSH (3rd IS) Assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The device is an automated system, and its performance is evaluated directly without human interpretation in the analytical process.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Method Comparison: The predicate device, Access TSH (3rd IS) Assay on UniCel DxI 800 Immunoassay System (K153651), served as the reference or "ground truth" for comparative performance.
- Imprecision, Reproducibility, Linearity, LoB, LoD, LoQ: "Ground truth" is established by the study design, using known concentrations, spiked samples, or statistical methods (e.g., CLSI guidelines) to define true values and assess the device's ability to measure them accurately and precisely.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set in the typical sense. Its performance is based on the inherent analytical characteristics of the reagents and instrumentation.
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 algorithm.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document provides a comparison of the new device (Access hsTnI) with its predicate device (Access AccuTnI+3 Reagent) and details multiple performance characteristics. The specific acceptance criteria themselves are not explicitly stated as pass/fail thresholds in a dedicated table, but rather implied through the performance data presented and comparison to the predicate. The "Summary of Studies" section details the studies conducted to establish the device's performance, which in effect serves as demonstration of meeting acceptance criteria for analytical and clinical performance.
Implicit Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance from the Text:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
-
99th percentile URL study:
- Sample Size: 1089 subjects (595 females, 494 males for lithium heparin plasma; 595 females, 493 males for serum).
- Provenance: Multicenter prospective study conducted at five geographically diverse locations throughout the United States.
-
Clinical performance study:
- Sample Size: 1,851 evaluable subjects.
- Provenance: Multicenter prospective study conducted for ED patients presenting with chest pain or equivalent ischemic symptoms suggestive of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS). Patients were enrolled from 14 geographically diverse, primary care hospital-associated emergency departments in the United States, reflecting regional, urban, suburban, and rural patient populations.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Ground Truth Experts: An independent panel of expert physicians.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated beyond "expert physicians." However, their role in adjudicating MI statuses using criteria consistent with the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction suggests expertise in cardiology and MI diagnosis. They were blinded to assay results and attending physicians' diagnoses.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Adjudication Method: "True MI statuses of all subjects were adjudicated by an independent panel of expert physicians using criteria consistent with the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction." The specific number of experts involved in the panel (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not provided.
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 device is a laboratory immunoassay for measuring a biomarker (cardiac troponin I), not an imaging-based AI diagnostic tool requiring "human readers" or "AI assistance." Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study, in the context described, was not performed and is not applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- This is a standalone diagnostic assay (algorithm equivalent in this context), as it directly measures cTnI levels. Its performance (sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV) was evaluated without direct human intervention in the result generation or interpretation of the assay itself during the study. The study focuses on the diagnostic accuracy of the assay using the established 99th percentile URLs against an expert-adjudicated ground truth. However, the note explicitly states: "The Access hsTnl assay is not intended to be used in isolation; results should be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic tests and clinical information," indicating that clinical decision-making ultimately involves a human interpreting the result in context.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Ground Truth Type: Expert consensus. Specifically, "True MI statuses of all subjects were adjudicated by an independent panel of expert physicians using criteria consistent with the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction."
8. The sample size for the training set
- The document describes performance studies and reference range establishment. It does not mention a separate "training set" in the context of machine learning. The studies described are for validation and characterization of the assay and its clinical performance. The 99th percentile URL was established using 1089 healthy subjects, and the clinical performance was evaluated on 1,851 evaluable subjects. These represent the datasets used to demonstrate key performance metrics.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- As noted above, the concept of a "training set" in the machine learning sense is not directly applicable here. For the clinical performance evaluation (which is the closest analog to a test set in ML terms for diagnostic accuracy), the ground truth for MI status was established by "an independent panel of expert physicians using criteria consistent with the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction."
