AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the ALPINION MEDICAL SYSTEMS Co., Ltd. E-CUBE i7 ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system (K153424):

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a novel device's primary clinical efficacy study. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" discussed here are primarily related to safety, performance, and equivalence to existing devices, not necessarily a clinical effectiveness threshold. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to the non-clinical tests conducted to confirm compliance with recognized medical device standards and comparison to predicate devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Since this is a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" are predominantly compliance with recognized standards and equivalence in features and performance to predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is demonstrated by affirming compliance and similarity.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria / Performance TargetReported Device Performance (E-CUBE i7)

Quality Management SystemEvidence of robust development process.Applied quality management measures including Risk Management, Requirements Reviews, Design Reviews, Component Verification, Integration Review (System Verification), Performance Testing (System Verification), Safety Testing (Compliance Test), Design Validation.

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

  • Sample Size: The document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, E-CUBE i7, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." This means there was no clinical test set of patients or images used for efficacy comparison. The "test set" for this submission primarily consisted of the device itself and its components tested against engineering and safety standards.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable for a clinical test set in this context. The data provenance would be internal engineering tests and design documentation.

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

  • Not applicable as there was no clinical study involving human reads or a ground truth established by experts for a test set. This submission is based on engineering verification and validation (V&V) against technical standards and comparison to predicate devices, which involves engineers, quality assurance personnel, and regulatory specialists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

  • No MRMC study was done. This device is an ultrasonic imaging system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Its substantial equivalence is based on its core imaging capabilities and safety, not on improving human reader performance.

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

  • No standalone algorithm performance study was done. The E-CUBE i7 is a diagnostic ultrasound system intended to be operated by a qualified physician, not an autonomous algorithmic device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" in this context is the adherence to established international and national medical device standards (e.g., IEC, NEMA, AIUM, ISO) for safety and performance, and the documented specifications and performance of legally marketed predicate devices. This is established through engineering testing and documented comparisons, rather than clinical outcomes, pathology, or expert consensus on patient data.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This submission describes a hardware and software system, not a machine learning model that would require a "training set" of data.

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

  • Not applicable. There was no training set for a machine learning model.
