Title: Why Not Consensus Reading with Multiple Readers for Evaluating a New (Test) Device?
Author(s): Bipasa Biswas*
Companies: CDRH, FDA
Keywords: correlated binary data ; sensitivity ; specificity ; bias
Abstract:

Diagnostic devices, like imaging devices, often require an interface of a reader evaluation and interpretation to provide a final diagnosis. The diagnosis is a qualitative assessment and thus the reader's responses are yes/no or present/absent. Examples include pill-cameras that image the colon to detect polyps. This presentation will discuss why a consensus reading of the subject device under evaluation, is not appropriate, when in practice only a single reader is involved in evaluating the images. Simulations using correlated binary data will be presented to show that the results using consensus readings are biased optimistically.
