    Device Description

    The COBAS INTEGRA test applications contained in this submission are intended for use with the COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer, which is also known as the COBAS INTEGRA 700. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer and COBAS INTEGRA Reagent cassettes together provide an integrated system for in vitro diagnostic testing. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer utilizes three measuring principles, i.e., absorbance, fluorescence polarization and ion-selective electrodes. The analyzer has a throughput of up to 600 tests per hour with STAT samples prioritized and tested immediately. Random sample access, robotics and a user interface optimize time management and streamline workflow. The COBAS INTEGRA can store up to 68 COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes on board, 24 hours a day at 2-8°C. The COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes are compact and preparation-free with the added convenience of long term on-board stability. Barcode readers are used to identify newly loaded reagent cassettes, samples for patient identification, and rack inserts and to read calibration and control data from the cassette label. COBAS INTEGRA tests include chemistry, drugs of abuse, immunology, ion selective electrodes, therapeutic drug monitoring, and hematology reagents.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Roche COBAS® INTEGRA LDL Direct and Roche Calibrator LDL Direct, based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a separate, pre-defined set of thresholds. Instead, it presents performance characteristics of the new device and compares them to those of predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The implication is that if the new device's performance aligns with or is comparable to the predicate devices, it meets the "acceptance criteria" for substantial equivalence.

    Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Performance)Reported Device Performance (COBAS INTEGRA LDL Direct)
    Intended Use (Reagent)Quantitative determination of LDL-cholesterol direct concentration in serum or plasma, useful in assessing coronary heart disease risk.Quantitative determination of LDL-cholesterol direct concentration in serum and plasma, useful in assessing coronary heart disease risk.
    Intended Use (Calibrator)Calibrator for quantitative Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol assays.Calibrator for quantitative Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol assays on COBAS chemistry systems.
    Matrix (Calibrator)Human serumHuman serum
    Approx. Value (Calibrator)51.4 mg/dL2.85 mmol/L (110 mg/dL)
    Precision (Level 1 Mean)Not explicitly stated (predicate data not available for direct comparison)2.72 mmol/L (105 mg/dL)
    Precision (Level 1 Within Run CV)Not explicitly stated1.4
    Precision (Level 1 Total CV)Not explicitly stated1.9
    Precision (Level 2 Mean)Not explicitly stated5.12 mmol/L (198 mg/dL)
    Precision (Level 2 Within Run CV)Not explicitly stated1.8
    Precision (Level 2 Total CV)Not explicitly stated2.1
    Linearity500 mg/dL14.0 mmol/L (540 mg/dL)
    Accuracy (Correlation Coefficient vs. COBAS MIRA)Not explicitly stated (predicate comparison is to Beta-quantification or Friedewald)0.964
    Accuracy (Linear Regression vs. COBAS MIRA)Not explicitly statedy = 0.85x + 0.7 mmol/L

    Note: For accuracy, the new device is compared to COBAS MIRA, Beta-quantification, and Friedewald formula. The predicate device's accuracy is provided against Beta-quantification. The document implies that a strong correlation (e.g., r > 0.95) and a linear regression close to y=x would be acceptable for accuracy.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document refers to "clinical and nonclinical studies."

    • Test Set Sample Size for Accuracy:

      • Against COBAS MIRA: n = 276
      • Against Beta-quantification: n = 150
      • Against Friedewald formula: n = 276
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    This type of information is not provided in the document. For an in vitro diagnostic device like this, ground truth is typically established through reference methods or established laboratory procedures, not by human experts in the way it would be for an imaging AI.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable and therefore not provided. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are common in clinical trials involving subjective interpretations (e.g., imaging reads) to resolve discrepancies. For a quantitative diagnostic test like LDL-cholesterol, discrepancies would typically be resolved by retesting, using a definitive reference method, or investigating pre-analytical/analytical errors.

    5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

    This information is not applicable and therefore not provided. MRMC studies are relevant for imaging devices or AI tools where human readers are interpreting data, and the AI's role is to assist or augment their performance. The Roche COBAS INTEGRA LDL Direct is a laboratory diagnostic assay, not one that involves human interpretation of "cases" in an MRMC context.

    6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    Yes, this is essentially a standalone study. The document describes the performance of the COBAS INTEGRA LDL Direct system itself (the reagent cassette + analyzer) in measuring LDL-cholesterol directly. There isn't a human-in-the-loop component described for the function of this diagnostic device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the accuracy studies was established by comparing the COBAS INTEGRA LDL Direct results against:

    • COBAS MIRA: Another automated chemistry analyzer, likely acting as a comparative reference method.
    • Beta-quantification: A established reference method for lipoprotein analysis, considered highly accurate for LDL-cholesterol.
    • Friedewald formula: A calculated estimate of LDL-cholesterol based on other lipid measurements (total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides).

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not mention a "training set". This is an in vitro diagnostic device, not an AI/machine learning algorithm in the typical sense that would require a distinct training set for model development. The development process for an IVD involves formulation, optimization, and verification, rather than "training" with a dataset for an algorithm.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Since there is no "training set" mentioned or implied for this type of device, this information is not applicable.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Roche COBAS® INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes for α-1-Antitrypsin (AAT), Immunoglobulin A (IGA/IGAP), and Immunoglobulin M (IGM/IGMP), based on the provided text:

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Summary. This type of summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific pre-defined acceptance criteria in the same way a novel device might. The "acceptance criteria" here are inferred from the performance characteristics presented to show equivalence. The studies are primarily comparative studies against predicate devices.

    2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • α-1-Antitrypsin (AAT):
      • Sample Size: 288
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated but implied to be clinical samples (serum/plasma). Origin (e.g., country) and retrospective/prospective nature are not specified.
    • Immunoglobulin A (IGA/IGAP):
      • Sample Size: 584
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated but implied to be clinical samples (serum/plasma). Origin (e.g., country) and retrospective/prospective nature are not specified.
    • Immunoglobulin M (IGM/IGMP):
      • Sample Size: 556
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated but implied to be clinical samples (serum/plasma). Origin (e.g., country) and retrospective/prospective nature are not specified.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    Not applicable. This device is an in vitro diagnostic reagent, and the 'ground truth' is established by comparative measurements against predicate devices using laboratory methods, not human expert interpretation of images or clinical cases. The comparison is against established laboratory testing methods.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. The 'test set' here consists of biological samples measured by the device and compared to results from predicate devices/methods. There is no human adjudication process described.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No. MRMC studies are typically for imaging devices or AI tools that assist human readers in interpretation. This is an IVD reagent, and the effectiveness is evaluated through analytical performance characteristics like accuracy, precision, and linearity when compared to established methods.


    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Yes, in a sense. The studies summarized are standalone performance evaluations of the reagent cassette on the COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer. The results are generated by the automated system, without "human-in-the-loop" needing to interpret the primary measurement, although human operators load samples and review results. The comparison is between the modified reagent's performance and that of other established laboratory methods (predicate devices).


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for these studies is comparative measurement data from legally marketed predicate devices and established laboratory methods. Specifically:

    • AAT: Comparison against Boehringer Mannheim α-1-Antitrypsin Reagent (K972640) and Cleared COBAS INTEGRA α-1-Antitrypsin (K954992). The "vs. BM" implies using the Boehringer Mannheim method as a reference.
    • IGA/IGAP: Comparison against Boehringer Mannheim Immunoglobulin A Reagent (K955907) and Cleared COBAS INTEGRA Immunoglobulin A (K954457). The "vs. BM/Hitachi" indicates comparison with these laboratory systems.
    • IGM/IGMP: Comparison against Boehringer Mannheim Immunoglobulin M Reagent (K955908) and Cleared COBAS INTEGRA Immunoglobulin M (K954457). The "vs. BM/Hitachi" indicates comparison with these laboratory systems.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. These are reagent cassettes used with an existing analyzer. There is no mention of machine learning or AI models with "training sets" in the context of this 510(k) submission. The development and optimization of the reagent formulations and assay parameters would be part of a different internal R&D process, not typically described as a "training set" in this context.


    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this device and submission. The "ground truth" for evaluating the performance of these reagents is established through established analytical chemistry and immunology principles, validated against reference materials, and benchmarked against predicate diagnostic assays.

    Device Description

    The COBAS INTEGRA test applications contained in this submission are intended for use with the COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer, which is also known as the COBAS INTEGRA 700. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer and COBAS INTEGRA Reagent cassettes together provide an integrated system for in vitro diagnostic testing. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer utilizes three measuring principles, i.e., absorbance, fluorescence polarization and ion-selective electrodes. The analyzer has a throughput of up to 600 tests per hour with STAT samples prioritized and tested immediately. Random sample access, robotics and a user interface optimize time management and streamline workflow. The COBAS INTEGRA can store up to 68 COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes on board, 24 hours a day at 2-8°C. The COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes are compact and preparation-free with the added convenience of long term on-board stability.

COBAS INTEGRA tests include chemistry, drugs of abuse, immunology, ion selective electrodes, therapeutic drug monitoring, and hematology reagents. Through this submission, it is the intention of Roche to gain clearance for three additional COBAS Reagent Cassettes.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for Roche COBAS® INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes, detailing the characteristics and performance of three new reagent cassettes (Alkaline Phosphatase IFCC liquid, α-Amylase EPS Pancreatic, and C-Reactive Protein (Latex)) compared to their legally marketed predicate devices.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The documents do not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a set of predefined thresholds that the device must meet in the same way modern AI/ML device submissions would. Instead, the "Performance Characteristics" section for each proposed device is presented alongside the performance of its predicate device, implying that equivalence in these characteristics is the underlying acceptance criterion for substantial equivalence.

    Since specific acceptance criteria are not called out, I will present the reported performance characteristics for the new devices. The implicit acceptance criterion is "comparable performance to the predicate device."

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The "test set" in this context refers to the clinical samples used to evaluate the performance characteristics (precision and accuracy) of the new reagent cassettes.

    • COBAS INTEGRA Alkaline Phosphatase IFCC liquid (ALPL2 and ALPL6):

      • Accuracy Sample Size (n): 252
      • Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, these studies use patient samples collected in a clinical laboratory setting. The origin (country) and retrospective/prospective nature are not detailed in this summary.
    • COBAS INTEGRA α-Amylase EPS Pancreatic (AMY-P / AMYUP):

      • Accuracy Sample Size (n):
        • Serum: 246
        • Urine: 106
      • Data Provenance: Not specified, same general assumptions as above.
    • COBAS INTEGRA C-Reactive Protein (Latex) (CRPLX):

      • Accuracy Sample Size (n): 244
      • Data Provenance: Not specified, same general assumptions as above.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

    This information is not provided in the document. For IVD devices like these, "ground truth" for method comparisons is typically established by running the same samples on a legally marketed predicate device or a highly accurate reference method. It does not involve human expert consensus in the way image-based diagnostics might.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable and therefore not provided. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies where human readers interpret data, and their disagreements need to be resolved. For quantitative chemical assays, the measurement itself is the "reader," and comparison is made to another assay.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    This is not applicable as the device is an in-vitro diagnostic reagent cassette for automated analyzers, not an AI or imaging device involving human readers.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

    Yes, the performance data presented (assay range, sensitivity, precision, accuracy) represent the standalone performance of the reagent cassettes on the COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer. There is no human-in-the-loop component being evaluated for the measurement itself, only for the instrument's operation and result interpretation by laboratory personnel.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For these types of in vitro diagnostic assays, the "ground truth" for the accuracy studies is implicitly established by comparing the results from the new device to those obtained from the legally marketed predicate device (or a recognized reference method). The correlation coefficients and linear regression data are direct comparisons to the predicate. For example, the accuracy section "Corr. Coefficient (r)" and "Linear regression" are direct comparisons between the proposed device and the cleared predicate device.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not provided and is likely not applicable in the same way it would be for an AI/ML device. For chemical reagents, "training" typically refers to the R&D and optimization phase to develop the reagent formulation and instrument application. It's not a discrete "training set" of patient data used to optimize an algorithm parameters that are then locked.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

    Similar to point 8, this is not provided and likely not applicable in the context of an AI/ML device. The "ground truth" during reagent development would involve analytical methods to confirm the chemical properties and performance of the reagents.

    Device Description

    The COBAS INTEGRA test applications contained in this submission are intended for use with the COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer, which is also known as the COBAS INTEGRA 700. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer and COBAS INTEGRA Reagent cassettes together provide an integrated system for in vitro diagnostic testing. The COBAS INTEGRA Analyzer utilizes three measuring principles, i.e., absorbance, fluorescence polarization and ion-selective electrodes. The analyzer has a throughput of up to 600 tests per hour with STAT samples prioritized and tested immediately. Random sample access, robotics and a user interface optimize time management and streamline workflow. The COBAS INTEGRA can store up to 68 COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes on board, 24 hours a day at 2-8°C. The COBAS INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes are compact and preparation-free with the added convenience of long term on-board stability. Barcode readers are used to identify newly loaded reagent cassettes, samples for patient identification, and rack inserts and to read calibration and control data from the cassette label. COBAS INTEGRA tests include chemistry, drugs of abuse, immunology, ion selective electrodes, therapeutic drug monitoring, and hematology reagents. Through this submission, it is the intention of Roche to gain clearance for two additional COBAS Reagent Cassettes and their associated calibrator sets. These are: the COBAS INTEGRA Serum Barbiturates (SBARB) Reagent Cassette, the Abuscreen ONLINE Serum Barbiturates Calibrators, the COBAS INTEGRA Serum Benzodiazepines (SBENZ) Reagent Cassette, and the Abuscreen ONLINE Serum Benzodiazepines Calibrators.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Roche COBAS® INTEGRA Reagent Cassettes and Calibrators, based on the provided text:

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device cleared in 1998. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than establishing novel safety and effectiveness through a standalone, comprehensive clinical trial with pre-defined acceptance criteria in the way a new, high-risk device might today. The "acceptance criteria" detailed below are derived from the performance characteristics presented for comparison with the predicate device. The study is primarily a comparative effectiveness study against the predicate, alongside internal analytical validation.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a pass/fail format with specific targets that the device must meet in a prospective study. Instead, it presents performance characteristics of the new device alongside those of its predicate for comparison, implying that the new device's performance should be comparable or substantially equivalent to the predicate. The "reported device performance" refers to the values presented for the COBAS INTEGRA system.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

    • COBAS INTEGRA Serum Barbiturates (SBARB):

      • Accuracy (compared to GC/MS): 47 samples (37 positive, 10 negative)
      • Accuracy (compared to Predicate ADX): 47 samples (35 positive, 12 negative)
      • Precision: Not explicitly stated, but typically involves multiple replicates across several runs for each level tested. Given the three levels and %CV calculation, a common practice would be 20 replicates for 2-3 levels over 2-3 days, resulting in at least 40-60 measurements per level. The exact number of individual patient samples used to derive these mean and CV values is not specified, but these are typically control or spiked samples.
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The studies appear to be retrospective analytical performance evaluations conducted by the manufacturer as part of the submission to demonstrate equivalence.
    • COBAS INTEGRA Serum Benzodiazepines (SBENZ):

      • Accuracy (compared to GC/MS): 74 samples (46 positive, 28 negative)
      • Accuracy (compared to Predicate TDX): 66 samples (46 positive, 20 negative)
      • Precision: Similar to SBARB, not explicitly stated, but common practice would imply multiple replicates for each of the three levels tested.
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. Likely retrospective analytical performance evaluation.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

    • For both assays (Barbiturates and Benzodiazepines), the ground truth for accuracy was established using GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry). GC/MS is considered a "gold standard" analytical method for drug confirmation and quantification in toxicology.
    • The document does not specify the number of human experts involved in interpreting the GC/MS results or their qualifications. The interpretation of GC/MS data is typically performed by trained laboratory personnel (e.g., analytical chemists, toxicologists) within a certified laboratory environment.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • For the accuracy studies using GC/MS as the ground truth, there is no mention of an adjudication method in the traditional sense (e.g., 2+1 physician review). The GC/MS result itself serves as the definitive determination. Discrepancies between the device and GC/MS would be investigated analytically rather than through expert consensus on the clinical classification.

    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 submission concerns in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent assays, which are standalone laboratory tests, not imaging devices or AI-assisted diagnostic tools that involve human readers. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improving with AI assistance" is not applicable here.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    • Yes, this entire submission effectively represents a standalone performance evaluation. The COBAS INTEGRA system, with these reagent cassettes, performs automated analysis. Its performance characteristics (precision, accuracy, sensitivity, assay range, cutoff) are measured directly based on the analytical results produced by the instrument and reagents, without immediate human intervention in the result generation itself. Human interaction would occur in sample loading, result review, and clinical interpretation.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    • The primary ground truth for the accuracy claims was:
      • GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry): This is a highly specific and sensitive analytical method for confirming and quantifying drugs, serving as the gold standard in toxicology for this type of test.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • The document does not specify the sample size for a training set. For IVD assays based on established chemical principles (like fluorescence polarization immunoassay), there isn't a "training set" in the same way there would be for a machine learning or AI algorithm. The assay's parameters (e.g., antibody concentrations, reaction times, calibration curves) are developed and optimized by the manufacturer using internal R&D processes, but these are not explicitly detailed as a "training set" in the context of this 510(k) summary. The performance data presented are for the final, developed product.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    • As a "training set" is not explicitly mentioned or applicable in the AI/machine learning sense for this device, the question of how its ground truth was established is not directly answerable from the provided text. The development and optimization of such assays rely on well-characterized samples (e.g., spiked samples, confirmed positive/negative clinical samples, reference materials) to establish robust analytical performance, but these are part of the R&D process rather than a formalized "training set" with ground truth in the context of this regulatory submission.
