AI/ML Overview

The provided document (K981480 for the Philips EasyGuide Spine option) is a 510(k) summary for a medical device and does not contain the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the traditional sense of a clinical or performance study with metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy.

Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, and compliance with general safety and regulatory standards.

Therefore, for aspects of your request that pertain to performance metrics, sample sizes, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies, the information is not present in this document.

Below is a response based only on the information available in the provided text.

Substantial EquivalenceEquivalence to predicate devices"The Philips EasyGuide Standard Workstation with the Spine option is considered substantially equivalent to the ISG Viewing Wand (K970865), the Picker ViewPoint (K970604), the Zeiss Surgical Microscope Navigator (SMN) (K965139) and the Sofamor Danek StealthStation (K954276)."

1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not explicitly stated in the document. The document discusses compliance with safety and interoperability standards and substantial equivalence, but it does not describe a performance study with a test set of data or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable / Not stated. As no specific performance study utilizing a test set with ground truth is described, this information is not present.

3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable / Not stated. No test set requiring adjudication is described.

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:

  • No, an MRMC study was not described. The document focuses on the device itself for surgical guidance, not on diagnostic interpretation or human reader performance improvement with AI assistance.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • No, a standalone performance study with specific metrics was not described. The submission is for a surgical guidance system that is inherently human-in-the-loop. The "performance" assessment is based on compliance with standards and substantial equivalence, not quantitative standalone algorithm performance.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Not applicable / Not stated. No specific performance study requiring ground truth is described. The "ground truth" implicitly referred to would be established regulatory standards and the functional capabilities of predicate devices for the substantial equivalence claim.

7. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable / Not stated. No machine learning or AI training set is mentioned or described in the context of this 510(k) submission.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable / Not stated. As no training set is mentioned, this information is not available.
