Intended Use

The DOLPHIN® 3 Fluid Management System provides low viscosity liquid distension of the uterus for hysteroscopy, and monitors intrauterine pressure, fluid use and fluid deficit.

Device Description

The DOLPHIN® 3 will be used during Hysteroscopic procedures where physicians need to monitor fluid pressure and fluid loss. The system will provide delivery of low viscosity distension fluid through a disposable tubing set that includes an integrated pressure transducer. The system will calculate and display fluid pressure and fluid deficit while providing distension of the uterus for visualization and flow. The DOLPHIN® 3 provides both audible and visual alarms if pressure levels are too high or if the user-set fluid deficit alarm levels are exceeded. The DOLPHIN® 3 incorporates a two-bag distension fluid system that utilizes a bladder bag to provide steady pressure on (each) the fluid bags. The two bladder bags are essentially pneumatic "bag squeezers" set within a rigid housing that contains the fluid bags. The DOLPHIN® 3 fluid pump adjusts the pressure applied to the distension fluid bags by inflating or deflating the pneumatic bladder. The infusion pressure can be set by the user between 40-140 mm Hg (40 mmHg is the factory default setting at power up) The system can accommodate 1, 2 or 3 liter fluid bags, The sterile/disposable tubing set with integrated pressure transducer is used to deliver fluid from the DOLPHIN® 3 to the inflow port on the hysteroscope. The device weighs the fluid in order to calculate the deficit. Any fluid dispensed but not returned to the collection canisters is considered part of the deficit.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the DOLPHIN® 3 Fluid Management System. It outlines the device's intended use, product description, and a summary of nonclinical/bench testing performed to verify its performance. However, it does not include specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics in a tabular format, nor does it detail a study that directly proves the device meets such criteria with numerical results. The document primarily focuses on verifying functionality and safety rather than quantifying performance against pre-defined acceptance thresholds in a clinical or comparative study with human readers.

Therefore, much of the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text. I will provide what is available and note what is missing.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

This information is not provided in the document. The tests described are bench/nonclinical tests, not human subject studies or data-driven clinical trials. There is no mention of a "test set" in the context of clinical data.


3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. As this is a bench/nonclinical study for a hardware system, there is no "ground truth" derived from expert review or clinical data. The tests focus on the device's physical and functional performance.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document for the reasons stated above.


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

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. The DOLPHIN® 3 is a fluid management system, not an AI-powered diagnostic device, and the studies described are bench tests, not MRMC studies involving human readers.


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

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. The device is a physical system with sensors and controls, not a standalone algorithm. The tests described assess the device's physical and functional performance, not algorithm-only performance.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

This information is not applicable and not provided. The "ground truth" for the nonclinical tests would be the established engineering specifications and physical principles against which the device's performance is measured. For example, for "Pressure Accuracy vs Flow Rate," the ground truth would be accepted physics and engineering standards for pressure and flow.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. As this is not an AI/machine learning device, there is no "training set."


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable and not provided in the document for the reasons stated above.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The DOLPHIN® 3 Hysteroscopic Insufflator is an upgrade to the predicate DOLPHIN® II device currently marketed by Gyrus ACMI, Inc. The DOLPHIN® 3 will be marketed with updated software, hardware, and an additional fluid distension bag. The DOLPHIN® 3 will have the identical indications as the predicate DOLPHIN® II, K011876. The software, mechanical design and tubing set have been updated to accommodate the additional fluid bag. The same bladder bag and self contained pump design, used in the DOLPHIN® II to regulate fluid pressure, is incorporated in the DOLPHIN® 3. The tubing set and integrated transducer remains a single use accessory sterilized by EtO.

In summary, the DOLPHIN® 3 is substantially equivalent to the predicate DOLPHIN® II device and presents no new questions of safety or efficacy.
