Intended Use
The ASiManger-AT is intended to be used as an integrated digital particle analyzer to objectively interpret the ASI RPR Card Test for syphilis. The ASiManger-AT is designed to provide standardized test interpretation, an initial predictive titer analysis, and provides for storage, retrieval and transmittal of the test results. It is intended to be acquired, possessed and used only by healthcare professionals. For in vitro Diagnostic Use Only, not intended for screening blood and tissue donors.
Device Story
ASiManager-AT is an integrated digital particle analyzer for objective interpretation of ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis. Device uses CCD camera to capture high-resolution light reflectance images of agglutination immunoassay slides. Proprietary software algorithm analyzes agglutination patterns to classify results as reactive or nonreactive; provides initial predictive titer analysis from undiluted serum or determines endpoint titer from serial diluted specimens. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained professionals. Output includes standardized test interpretation and titer projections, enabling storage, retrieval, and transmittal of results. Automating interpretation reduces subjectivity caused by human factors like lighting, visual acuity, and fatigue; improves consistency in titer determination compared to manual visual inspection.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated across 375 prospective and 3131 retrospective samples. Prospective testing showed 100% positive and 100% negative agreement with visual interpretation. Retrospective testing showed 98.4% positive and 95.5% negative agreement. Predictive titer analysis (n=1224) showed 93.6% concordance (within ±1 titer). Endpoint titer function (n=708) showed 98.9% concordance (within ±1 titer). Comparator was visual interpretation by trained laboratory professionals.
Technological Characteristics
Integrated digital particle analyzer; CCD camera sensing; light reflectance imaging; PC-based; software-driven interpretation; qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis; standalone instrument with integrated monitor/keyboard/mouse; calibration check cards provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals to objectively interpret ASI RPR Card Test for syphilis results, including standardized interpretation, predictive titer analysis, and data management. Not for blood/tissue donor screening.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A densitometer/scanner (integrating, reflectance, thin-layer chromatography, or radiochromatogram) for clinical use is device intended to measure the concentration of a substance on the surface of a film or other support media by either a photocell measurement of the light transmission through a given area of the medium or, in the case of the radiochromatogram scanner, by measurement of the distribution of a specific radio-active element on a radiochromatogram.

#### 5.3 Predicate Device(s) - ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis - K851504
- Device Description The ASiManager-AT is an integrated digital particle analyzer 5.4 designed to objectively interpret certain slide agglutination tests manufactured by Arlington Scientific Inc. (ASI). Qualitative and semiquantitative tests are performed by laboratory professionals who use the ASiManager-AT to provide standardized test interpretation using criteria that define reactive and nonreactive agglutination reactions. The ASiManager-AT also delivers an initial predictive titer analysis for the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis.
The ASiManager-AT employs a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera that uses light reflectance to create a highly sensitive and high-resolution image of the agglutination immunoassay. This image is then analyzed by the proprietary software algorithm to interpret the agglutination pattern.
The ASiManager-AT further provides tools that enable the creation, storage. retrieval and transmittal of the test results.
Intended Use – The ASiManager-AT is intended to be used as an integrated digital particle analyzer to objectively interpret the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis. The ASiManager-AT is designed to provide standardized test interpretation, an initial predictive titer analysis, and provides for storage, retrieval, and transmittal of the test results. It is intended to be acquired, possessed and used only by health care professionals. For in vitro Diagnostic Use Only, not intended for screening blood and tissue donors.

ASiManager-A T
- 5.5 Summary of Comparison Data - A comparison of the digital interpretation of the results of testing samples with the ASI RPR Card Test for Syphilis using the ASiManager-AT and visual interpretation by trained laboratory professionals was conducted to show substantial equivalence.
The following data are the results from three testing sites:
| | | ASiManager-AT Digital Results | |
|-------------------|-------------|-------------------------------|-------------|
| | | Reactive | Nonreactive |
| Visual<br>Results | Reactive | 3 | 0 |
| | Nonreactive | 0 | 372 |
## Combined Prospective Sample Testing - 375 Samples
These results give a percent agreement positive of 100% with reactive samples and 100% with nonreactive samples.
| Combined Retrospective Sample Testing - 3131 Sample | | | |
|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------|-------------|------|
| ASiManager-AT Digital Results | | | |
| | Reactive | Nonreactive | |
| Visual<br>Results | Reactive | 1799 | 58 |
| | Nonreactive | 29 | 1245 |
These results give a percent agreement positive of 98.4% with reactive samples and 95.5% with nonreactive samples.
Of the 1849 reactive samples from the qualitative testing 1224 were used to determine the predictive titer. The ASiManager-AT is programmed to project or predict the endpoint titer of each qualitative test by reading the undiluted serum (1:1) and determining its corresponding endpoint for reactive serums. This is done using a proprietary algorithm that interprets the reaction in the undiluted sample and projects what the endpoint titer of the sample will be. A one dilution difference is an acceptable range for equivalency because the minimal reactive endpoint titer is subject to interpretation between different observers due to many factors such as lighting, visual acuity, and fatigue, etc. Of the 1224 reactive samples tested 1146 were within the ±1 titer acceptance criteria, for a concordance of 93.6%

Of the 1849 reactive samples from the qualitative testing 708 were used to determine the endpoint titer. The ASiManager-AT is programmed to determine the true endpoint titer of a serial diluted specimen using the RPR endpoint titer function on the instrument. The RPR endpoint titer (semiquantitative) function analyzes the entire card and indentifies in which well the serial diluted sample becomes nonreactive. The software then calculates the endpoint titer. A one dilution difference is an acceptable range for equivalency because the minimal reactive endpoint titer is subject to interpretation between different observers due to many factors such as lighting, visual acuity, and fatigue, etc. Of the 708 reactive samples tested 700 were within the ±1 titer acceptance criteria, for a concordance of 98.9%
5.6 Conclusion - The ASiManager-AT is safe and effective for its intended use.
