AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (TMD™ 1ml Safety Syringe). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically seen in clinical trials for new technologies.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone performance studies, and detailed ground truth establishment is not available in this type of regulatory submission.

The document states:

  • "Performance data has been generated in compliance with the design control requirement and appropriate standards. The result demonstrated equivalent to the predicate devices." (Section 7)
  • "Additional performance data was conducted to demonstrate the compliance with ISO8537 (Insulin Syringes) specification." (Section 7)
  • The comparison table (Section 9) focuses on technological characteristics rather than specific performance outcomes against predefined acceptance criteria for clinical efficacy.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is not available:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This information is not provided in the document as specific quantifiable acceptance criteria and corresponding device performance metrics (e.g., success rate of the safety mechanism in preventing needlestick injuries in a controlled user study) are not detailed. The document generally states that performance data was generated and demonstrated equivalence to predicate devices and compliance with ISO8537.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document mentions "Performance data has been generated" but does not detail the number of units tested or the methodology.
  • Data Provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not specified. The manufacturer is based in Taiwan, and the submission is to the US FDA, but the origin or nature of the performance data is not explicitly stated.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable/Not specified. This type of information is typically relevant for diagnostic devices where subjective interpretation (e.g., by radiologists) is being evaluated against a ground truth. For a safety syringe, performance data would likely involve engineering tests, biomechanical tests, and possibly simulated use tests, not expert consensus on "ground truth" labels.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable/Not specified. Similar to point 3, adjudication methods are used for resolving disagreements in expert interpretations for diagnostic accuracy, which is not the primary focus for a safety syringe's performance data.

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

Not applicable. MRMC studies and "human improvement with AI" are relevant for AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technologies. This device is a manual safety syringe, not an AI system.

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

Not applicable. This question is for AI algorithms. The device is a physical safety syringe.

7. The type of ground truth used

Not applicable/Not specified in detail. For a safety syringe, "ground truth" would relate to objective measurements of mechanical function, sterility, biocompatibility, and possibly the actual successful activation of the safety mechanism in simulated use. The document broadly refers to "compliance with the design control requirement and appropriate standards" and ISO8537.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable/Not specified. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms. This is a physical device without an AI component.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable.

Dear Dr. Chou:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Dr. Chou

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
