AI/ML Overview

There is no information in the provided text about a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) that would typically be associated with AI/software devices. The document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a biliary stent), not an AI algorithm.

Here's a breakdown based on the categories requested, highlighting the lack of information pertinent to AI device studies:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as performance metrics. The submission is a 510(k) for a physical medical device (stent), not a software/AI device. The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly related to demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through pre-clinical testing for biocompatibility and mechanical properties.
  • Reported Device Performance: The document states, "The SMART™ Control™ Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The equivalence was confirmed through pre-clinical testing." No quantitative performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) are reported, as these are not relevant for this type of device submission.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable. This is a 510(k) for a physical medical device, not a data-driven AI device. There is no mention of a "test set" in the context of data. Pre-clinical testing would involve physical samples of the device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. There is no "ground truth" establishment in the context of data for an AI device.

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

  • Not applicable.

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

  • Not applicable. This is for a physical medical device (stent), not an AI assistance tool for human readers.

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

  • Not applicable. There is no algorithm.

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

  • Not applicable.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable.

Summary of what the document does indicate:

  • Device Type: SMART™ Control™ Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System (a biliary stent).
  • Purpose of Submission: 510(k) for demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
  • Method of Proving Equivalence: Pre-clinical testing (likely mechanical, material, and biocompatibility testing) confirmed the device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
  • Key Finding from FDA: The device is substantially equivalent, but a specific warning regarding unestablished safety and effectiveness for vascular use, and clear labeling for biliary use, is required.

Trade/Device Name: Cordis SMART™ Control™ Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.5010 Regulation Name: Biliary catheter and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 78 FGE Dated: June 15, 2002 Received: July 16, 2002

Dear Mr. Mirza:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. 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.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling:

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the vascular system have not been established.

Furthermore, the indication for biliary use must be prominently displayed in all labeling, including pouch, box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: This response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement above is added to your labeling, as described.

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally §809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616.
