The Merit Medical 20 mL Syringe is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

Device Description

The Merit 20 mL Syringe contains a calibrated hollow barrel into which is inserted a closely fitted movable plunger and tip or seal. The barrel contains an ISO 594-1/2 compliant fixed male luer connector, which is compatible with ISO 594-1/2 compliant female luer hubs.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the 510(k) summary for the "Merit 20 mL Syringe". The acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria are related to the performance of syringes as defined by international standards, especially after a minor material change to the silicone plunger tip/seal.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). It only mentions that "Design verification testing of the subject 20 mL Syringe was conducted."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not provided in the document. The testing described focuses on compliance with international standards for device performance and biocompatibility, rather than clinical evaluation with expert-established ground truth.

4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not provided. The testing appears to be objective, based on established standards, rather than requiring expert adjudication.

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 is not applicable as the device is a medical syringe, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and the submission does not mention any MRMC study or AI component.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable as the device is a medical syringe, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" in this context is defined by international standards and guidance documents for syringe performance, sterility, and biocompatibility. The tests conducted verify the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the device against these established criteria.

8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as the device is a medical syringe undergoing physical and biological testing, not an AI model requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable for the reasons mentioned in point 8.

Dear Mr. Marsh:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
