A clinician inserts the endotracheal tube into a patient's trachea, via the mouth, in accordance with standard clinical technique to maintain an open airway. The stabilizer remains outside the patient's mouth and, by means of a locking device and straps, secures the endotracheal tube in place.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System. It describes the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices. The summary of testing outlines various tests conducted to demonstrate the device's safety and effectiveness.

Here’s an breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria alongside performance data in a detailed quantitative manner for most tests. Instead, it generally states that "The results of all testing met acceptance criteria." and "The results of the testing satisfy the requirements of the study protocols and comply with ISO 10993-1." However, for Biocompatibility, it lists the tests and states "Pass" for each. For the "Resistance to Movement Against Force testing," an acceptance criterion is implied by the statement "to resist tube movement against multidirectional external forces of up to 20 pounds."

Here's a condensed table based on the information available:

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

The document does not specify the sample sizes used for the test sets in any of the described tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, performance bench, or human factors).

Regarding data provenance:

  • For Biocompatibility, the testing was performed, but the location or specific origin of the samples/data is not mentioned beyond compliance with FDA Guidance and ISO standards.
  • For Human Factors, the study was "conducted in simulated use scenarios employing accepted models of evaluation" and "in simulated environments consistent with those environments in which representative users typically perform airway management." It doesn't state the country of origin of the data explicitly but implies a controlled, simulated environment rather than real-world patient data.
  • The document implies that all tests were conducted by the manufacturer, Securisyn Medical, LLC, or their appointed testing facilities to support the 510(k) submission.
  • The studies were prospective in nature, as they were conducted specifically to support the 510(k) submission and evaluate the performance of the device against predefined criteria. No retrospective data analysis is mentioned.

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

The document does not provide this information.

  • For the Human Factors Validation Study, it mentions "representative users," but does not specify the number or qualifications of experts involved in establishing ground truth or evaluating performance.
  • For bench testing, ground truth is typically established by engineering specifications and industry standards (e.g., ISO 5361, ISO 8836), not by human experts interpreting data for a "ground truth" purpose in the way described for AI/diagnostic studies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method. This level of detail is typically associated with clinical studies or studies involving subjective assessments that require consensus, which are not explicitly detailed here. The tests described are primarily objective and involve predefined criteria for pass/fail.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
The device described is a physical medical device (airway stabilization system), not an AI/software device that assists human readers in interpreting diagnostic images or data. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with or without AI assistance is not applicable here.

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

No, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance test was not done in the context of AI.
Again, the device is a physical medical device. Performance testing was conducted on the physical device itself (bench testing) and in simulated human use scenarios (human factors study), which inherently involves a "human-in-the-loop" interaction with the device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the various tests, the "ground truth" was established by engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., ISO 5361, ISO 8836, ISO 10993, ISO 11135-1, ISO 11607-1, ASTM 1980), and predefined acceptance criteria. For the human factors study, the "ground truth" was established based on the ability of users to perform tasks "safely and as effectively as the predicate" in simulated use scenarios. There is no mention of pathology, expert consensus in a diagnostic sense, or outcomes data being used as ground truth for these tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable.
This term typically refers to the data used to train an AI algorithm. As this is a physical medical device and not an AI/machine learning device, there is no "training set" in this context.

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

Not applicable.
As there is no training set for an AI algorithm, the establishment of ground truth for such a set is not relevant to this submission.

A clinician inserts the endotracheal tube into a patient's trachea, via the mouth, in accordance with standard clinical technique to maintain an open airway. The stabilizer remains outside the patient's mouth and, by means of a locking device and straps, secures the endotracheal tube in place.

Standard Oral Endotracheal Tube Description

The SolidAIRity III Standard Oral Endotracheal Tube is a sterile, single-use airway device designed to be used as part of the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System. This oral endotracheal tube features a retention structure (KAD collar) that interfaces with the SolidAlRity III Stabilizer to secure the endotracheal tube. As a fully integrated stabilization system, the system is designed to resist movement of the tube against applied extubation forces of up to 20 pounds.

The tube design includes a pair of depth localizer bands that promote proper placement of the tracheal tube in relation to the patient's vocal cords, as well as a depth indicator line on the KAD collar that allows for monitoring of tube depth relative to the Stabilizer tower and allows for easy and accurate depth repositioning of the ETT. The tube design also includes identification lettering ("ETT") on the inflation line to assist in preventing Luer fitting misconnections.

Suction Oral Endotracheal Tube Description

The SolidAlRity III Suction Oral Endotracheal Tube is identical to the SolidAIRity III Standard Oral Endotracheal Tube with an additional lumen for the suction functionality. The dorsal suction lumen allows suctioning of contaminated mucous or subglottic secretions that accumulate above the cuff. The tube design also includes identification lettering on both the inflation line ("ETT") and the suction line ("Suction") to assist in preventing Luer fitting misconnections.

Stabilizer

The SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tube Stabilizer is a non-sterile, single-use endotracheal tube stabilization device designed to be used externally and only with the SolidAIRity III Standard or Suction Oral Endotracheal Tubes. This device uses a fixation mechanism to hold the SolidAlRity III Oral Endotracheal Tube firmly in place without crimping, pinching or squeezing the tube. Use of the SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tube Stabilizer may withstand up to 20 pounds of external force.

The Indications for Use of the SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tubes and the primary predicate device are essentially the same. Both devices are indicated for airway management of patients requiring oral intubation. Although the primary predicate device is additionally indicated for nasal intubation, the indications of the subject device do not introduce new or different questions of safety and effectiveness since the scope of the subject device's indications have been previously cleared by the Agency as part of a larger scope in the primary predicate device. The indications for use of the SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tube Stabilizer and the secondary predicate device are essentially the same. Both devices are indicated for airway management of patients by securing an endotracheal tube. Although the secondary predicate device is additionally indicated for use with other endotracheal tubes, laryngeal mask airways, and other supraglottic airway devices, the subject device is only indicated for use with SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tubes. These differences do not affect the intended use of the device for airway management of patients requiring oral intubation. The indications for use do not result in the subject device being used for a different patient population, by different users, or in different use environments. Therefore, the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System can be determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of indications for use.

The design of the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System and the primary predicate device are substantially equivalent in that both designs are in accordance with ISO 5361. Both the SolidAIRity III Suction Oral Endotracheal Tubes and the BEVER Eva Endotracheal Tube (primary predicate device) are designed with an additional suction lumen for use during advanced airway management. The suction lumen allows for evacuation or drainage by suctioning of contaminated mucous or subglottic secretions that accumulate above the cuff. On both devices the suction port is located directly proximal to the cuff. The material from which both the subject device and the primary predicate tubes are manufactured are also identical. Additionally, both devices are disposable and intended for single-use. The SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System is designed with features such as the inflation line / suction line protection hub, KAD collar, and Stabilizer. Although the primary predicate device does not offer these additional means of risk mitigation, the performance testing demonstrates that these features do not affect safety and effectiveness of the subject device. Many of the technological characteristics between the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System and the predicate devices are essentially identical. Any differences are either minor or have been supported by risk mitigation and performance test data.

  • Tracheal Seal Test ●
  • Kink Resistance Test
  • Radiopaque Marker Compliance Test .

Additional performance bench testing was conducted on the KAD collar and inflation tube to ensure proper performance strength of assembly with respect to external forces. A comparative inflation tube pull test was performed on the SolidAIRity III Endotracheal Tube and Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo Evac Endotracheal Tube to further support substantial equivalence. Suction tube performance testing was conducted on the subject and predicate device in accordance with ISO 8836 to provide objective evidence that the performance of the SolidAIRity III Suction Endotracheal Tube is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device. Resistance to Movement Against Force testing was conducted to validate the ability of the SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System to resist tube movement against multidirectional external forces of up to 20 pounds under simulated use. The results of all performance bench testing met the predefined acceptance criteria.

Clinical testing was not conducted as part of the submission.

Conclusion

The SolidAIRity III Airway Stabilization System is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices with respect to intended use/indications for use, target user, patient population, use environment and technological characteristics.
