AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Perception Inc. GPS-TUV Diagnostic Ultrasound System (K972973) indicates that no clinical tests were performed to establish the device's performance against acceptance criteria. The submission is a "Track 1 type submission," which relies on non-clinical tests and a comparison to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Therefore, the following information is not available in the provided text:

  • Acceptance criteria table and reported device performance based on clinical studies.
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
  • Standalone (algorithm only) performance study.
  • Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for a test set.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

However, the document does contain information about non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence, which can be interpreted as fulfilling certain "acceptance criteria" for regulatory clearance based on NEMA and FDA guidance documents.

Detailed breakdown of unavailable information:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical test set was mentioned. The non-clinical tests were performed on the device itself and its components.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as no ground truth for a clinical test set was established. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was adherence to the specified regulatory standards and guidance.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. 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: Not applicable. This device is an ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool in the modern sense.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of a clinical study. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was the specified performance limits and requirements defined by NEMA, FDA, UL, CISPR, IEC, and MIL-STD standards.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as no algorithm training was described.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Conclusion from the 510(k) Summary:

The submitter concluded that the Perception Inc. GPS-TUV Diagnostic Ultrasound System is substantially equivalent to predicate devices based on:

  • Having the same intended use.
  • Satisfactory results from all non-clinical testing (acoustic output, electrical safety, EMC).
  • No new questions of safety or effectiveness revealed by non-clinical and biocompatibility testing.
  • No significant changes in intended use, method of operation, material, or design compared to predicate devices that could affect safety or effectiveness.
  • The device being a PC-based real-time 2D ultrasound system with M and B modes, supporting various display modes and covering general radiology, abdominal, cardiac, and vascular applications with specific probes (3.0-12.5 MHz).

The "study" that proves the device meets "acceptance criteria" in this context is the series of non-clinical engineering and performance tests conducted by a contract testing laboratory, which demonstrated compliance with recognized industry standards and FDA guidance for diagnostic ultrasound equipment at the time.
