Ariol™ is an automated scanning microscope and image analysis system. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection, classification, and counting of cells of interest based on particular color, intensity, size, pattern, and shape. This particular Ariol application is an accessory to the PathVysion® HER-2/neu DNA Probe kit (PathVysion, Vysis, Inc., Downers Grove, IL). PathVysion is designed to detect amplification of the HER-2/neu gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded human breast cancer tissue specimens. Results from the PathVysion kit are intended for use as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information used as prognostic factors in stage II, node-positive breast cancer patients. The PathVysion kit is further indicated as an aid to predict disease-free and overall survival in patients with stage II, node positive breast cancer, treated with adjuvant cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (CAF) chemotherapy. The PathVysion kit is also indicated as an aid in the assessment of patients for whom HERCEPTIN® (Trastuzumab) treatment is being considered. While the PathVysion kit provides the probes that offer direct visualization and manual enumeration of the HER2 and Chromosome 17 genes with a fluorescent microscope, the Ariol may be used as an accessory that provides automated enumeration.
Device Story
Ariol™ system is an automated scanning microscope and image analysis platform; functions as an accessory to the PathVysion® HER-2/neu DNA Probe kit. Input: fluorescently labeled tissue slides (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer). Operation: system scans slides using motorized stage and monochrome CCD camera; utilizes two-pass or region-cam methods to capture DAPI-counterstained nuclei and fluorescent probe signals (Spectrum Orange/Green). Software processes images to enumerate signals and compute HER2/Chr17 ratios. Output: data grid displaying probe counts, ratios, and cell images; pathologist reviews automated results to finalize diagnostic score on report. Used in clinical laboratory settings by pathologists/technicians. Benefits: provides automated enumeration to assist in HER-2/neu gene amplification assessment, supporting prognostic and therapeutic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in the document; the device is cleared as an accessory to an existing diagnostic kit.
Technological Characteristics
System includes automated microscope, monochrome CCD camera, PC, monitor, and printer. Objectives: 1.25x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x. Light source: Mercury lamp. Connectivity: Barcode reader for specimen ID. Software performs automated signal enumeration and ratio calculation. Calibration: Spatial (stage steps/pixels) and illumination (lamp/filter settings).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an aid to pathologists in the detection, classification, and counting of cells in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tissue specimens to detect HER-2/neu gene amplification via FISH. Used as an adjunct to clinical/pathologic information for stage II, node-positive breast cancer patients to predict disease-free and overall survival following CAF chemotherapy, and to assess patients for HERCEPTIN® (Trastuzumab) treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An automated FISH enumeration system is a device that consists of an automated scanning microscope, image analysis system, and customized software applications for FISH assays. This device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use with FISH assays as an aid in the detection, counting and classification of cells based on recognition of cellular color, size, and shape, and in the detection and enumeration of FISH signals in interphase nuclei of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue specimens.
Special Controls
The device is classified as Class II under regulation 21 CFR 866.4700 with special controls. The special control guidance document " Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Automated Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) Enumeration Systems" is available at www.fda.gov/cdrh/oivd/guidance/1550.pdf.
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Automated Fluorescence*in situ* Hybridization (FISH) Enumeration Systems.” See § 866.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
