Intended Use

The Gabriel 3-way EnFit valve is a three-way closed system valve with three ports for control of fluid flow (nutrition, medication and water) between devices with EnFit connectors and catheter tip syringe. It can be used in pediatric, adult and elderly patients, for up to 7 days.

Device Description

The Gabriel 3-way EnFit Valve is a three-way stopcock valve that is intended to control fluid flow between enteral devices (feeding tubes and feeding lines) with EnFit compatible connectors in a closed system fashion that reduces the need for frequent connection of the EnFit ports. It has one male EnFit port, one female EnFit port and one catheter tip port. The catheter tip port can be used for flushing and administration of medication using a catheter tip syringe. The male EnFit port is provided with a tethered cap and the catheter tip port is provided with a tethered cap. The ability to use a catheter tip syringe for flushing and administration of medicine in health care facilities that do not carry EnFit syringes, may facilitate adoption of feeding tubes and feeding lines with EnFit connectors.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the "Gabriel 3-Way EnFit Valve," and its 510(k) submission to the FDA. However, this document does not contain information about an AI/ML-enabled device or its acceptance criteria and study results for such a device.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (a 3-way valve) to a predicate device based on design, materials, intended use, and bench testing for mechanical performance and biocompatibility.

Therefore, I cannot answer the questions related to AI/ML acceptance criteria, performance studies (like MRMC or standalone performance), ground truth establishment, sample sizes for training/test sets, or expert qualifications/adjudication. These concepts are not discussed in the provided text.

The closest information provided is the summary of bench testing for the physical valve. Below is a table of the acceptance criteria (stated as "PASS" for each test) and the reported device performance from the document.

Dear Sabry Gabriel:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
