{0} H471205 # Attachment F ## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness DEC - 1 1997 ### Submitter Information (21 CFR 807.92(a)(1)) Submitter: Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems 2350 Qume Drive San Jose, CA 95131-1807 Contact: Anna Longwell, Esq. Director, Regulatory Affairs - Corporate (408) 954-2254 Summary date: March 31, 1997 ### Name of Device and Classification (21 CFR 807.92(a)(2)) Name: Becton Dickinson TriTEST™ reagent CD4 FITC/CD8 PE/CD3 PerCP; TRUCOUNT™ Absolute Count Tubes Classification: Class II ### Predicate Device (21 CFR 807.92(a)(3)) The BDIS TriTEST™ CD4 FITC/CD8 PE/CD3 PerCP reagent with TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes is substantially equivalent to FACSCount (cleared to market under K933486). ### Description of the Device (21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)) The BDIS TriTEST CD4 fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/CD8 phycoerythrin (PE)/CD3 peridinin chlorophyll protein (PerCP) reagent is a three-color, direct immunofluorescence reagent. When used with TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes it is used for identifying and enumerating absolute counts of T lymphocytes (CD3+), helper/inducer T lymphocytes (CD3+CD4+) and suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD3+CD8+) in erythrocyte-lysed whole blood (LWB). The Becton Dickinson TriTEST/TRUCOUNT system for immunophenotyping consists of a flow cytometer (either from BDIS or from another manufacturer), conjugated monoclonal reagent (TriTEST CD4 FITC/CD8 PE/CD3 PerCP) and TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes. The process to obtain T lymphocyte subset absolute counts includes: 1) obtaining a whole blood sample, 2) adding a precise volume of whole blood directly to the Absolute Count Tube, 3) cell-surface antigen staining with three-color monoclonal antibody reagents, 4) erythrocyte lysis, and 5) flow cytometric acquisition and analysis of list mode data. Analysis for absolute counts requires that the bead region be identified and the events in this region counted. The proportion of reagent positive events to bead events (P) is computed. The absolute count is P x (beads/pellet)/(volume of blood sample). 301 {1} 302 # Summary of Safety and Effectiveness When monoclonal antibody reagents are added to human whole blood, the fluorochrome-labeled antibodies bind specifically to antigens on the surface of leucocytes, thus identifying lymphocyte populations. The patient blood sample is added to the counting bead pellet and is treated with fluorochrome-labeled antibodies and the erythrocytes are lysed with FACS® Lysing Solution. The flow cytometer is set up so that cell populations for most samples occupy approximately the same region of fluorescence space. The sample is then introduced into the flow cytometer and the stained cells and beads fluoresce when excited by a laser beam. The three-color reagent permits identification of T lymphocyte subsets using fluorescence gating instead of forward scatter gating. This three-color reagent allows direct gating on the CD3+ population using a combination of fluorescence and side scatter parameters. By gating on the CD3+ population, a maximum number of T lymphocytes may be captured in the gate. ## Intended Use (21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)) For in vitro diagnostic use to identify and enumerate absolute counts of T lymphocyte (CD3+), helper/inducer T lymphocyte (CD3+CD4+) and suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CD3+CD8+) subsets in blood. ## Indications for Use - For use with any flow cytometer equipped with a 488 nm laser and capable of detection in the ranges: 515-545 nm, 562-607 nm, and >650 nm - For use with erythrocyte lysed whole blood - For in vitro diagnostic use - To identify and enumerate absolute counts of CD3+ and CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ lymphocytes - To characterize and monitor some forms of immunodeficiency, such as in HIV infected individuals - To characterize and monitor some forms of autoimmune diseases ## Clinical Utility The determination of T lymphocyte (CD3+), helper/inducer T lymphocyte (CD3+CD4+) and suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CD3+CD8+) has been found useful in monitoring some forms of immunodeficiency and autoimmune disease. ## Comparison to Predicate Device (21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)) The TriTEST/TRUCOUNT system (for absolute counts) is substantially equivalent to the FACSCount system for CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and for CD3+CD8+, (cleared to market under K933486). Both the TriTEST reagent with TRUCOUNT tubes and the predicate device yield equivalent results for the same analytes, and both are intended for use as an in vitro diagnostic test using a flow cytometer-based instrument and recommended computer hardware and software. Results demonstrate that the products yield essentially equivalent performance characteristics. CD4/CD8/CD3/TRUCOUNT 510(k) Notification Attachment F: Summary of Safety and Effectiveness {2} # Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Performance Data (21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)) Performance of the product was established by testing at Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Institute of Tropical Medicine, University of North Carolina Hospital, and at Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems laboratories in San Jose, California. Several studies were performed: - Accuracy data demonstrated the TriTEST/TRUCOUNT product's equivalence to FACSCount. - A stability study was conducted to assess the time effect relating to age of blood (time-from-draw) and the time effect relating to the age of the stain (time-from-sample preparation), as well as the combined effect of both. Results indicate that for the calculation of absolute counts, blood specimen should be stained within 24 hours of draw, and analysis of the stained samples should occur within 24 hours or alternatively, the blood specimen can be stained within 48 hours of draw and analyzed within 6 hours. - Within-specimen reproducibility was performed at BDIS; 10 replicates from 1 high, 1 medium, and 1 low were assessed. Within-specimen reproducibility was also performed at 3 clinical sites; 3 aliquots from each donor were assessed. Results demonstrated acceptable within-sample reproducibility. - Linearity was determined using blood samples from 3 normal donors diluted to 5 concentrations, ranging from 16,700 to 200 lymphocytes/μL and from 31,000 to 2,500 WBC/μL. Results indicate a linear response over this range. - Cross reactivity of these clones is reported in the literature. Conjugation and product formulation have not changed their specificity. - Results from a cross platform reproducibility study for determining absolute counts using TriTEST CD4 FITC/CD8 PE/CD3 PerCP reagent with TRUCOUNT Absolute Count Tubes indicated a small (<20%) non-zero bias, but good correlation between results on a Becton Dickinson flow cytometer versus a Coulter. Therefore, users will be advised that they must validate performance characteristics for absolute counts, as required under CLIA regulations (42 CFR 493.1202 and 493.1213). Performance Data - Conclusions (21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)) The results of the clinical studies demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
