Intended Use

The ELPH Injection System is a contrast delivery system which is designed to inject radiopaque contrast media into a patient's vascular system to obtain diagnostic images when used with computed tomography (i.e. "CT") equipment.

Device Description

The ELPH Injection System will deliver radiographic contrast media at a controlled flow rate and volume into a patient's vascular system for the purpose of obtaining enhanced diagnostic images. The ELPH is made up of the following major components: Power Head, Power Pack, Remote Console (Optional), Syringes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the ELPH Injection System. It describes the device, its intended use, and argues for its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (CT 8000 Digital Injection System, later marketed as CT 9000ADV).

However, this document does not contain acceptance criteria or detailed study information that would typically be found in a performance evaluation or clinical study report. It is a regulatory submission focused on demonstrating equivalence rather than proving performance against specific criteria through a dedicated study.

Therefore, many of your requested points cannot be answered from the provided text. The document primarily focuses on a comparison of features between the new device and the predicate device to argue for substantial equivalence.

Here's how much can be extracted from the provided text based on your request:

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

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the ELPH Injection System in the way a performance study would. Instead, it compares the features and performance specifications of the ELPH system to its predicate device, the CT 8000 Digital Injection System. The "reported device performance" is essentially the listed specifications for the ELPH.

Note: The "acceptance criteria" here are implied by the performance of the predicate device. The submission makes a case that the ELPH system is "less expensive, smaller and less complicated to operate" and meets "only the ordinary needs," which sometimes results in lower specifications compared to the predicate, but is still considered substantially equivalent for its intended, more focused purpose.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The document presents a comparison of device features and specifications, not data from a test set or provenance of data.

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)

This information is not provided in the document, as it does not detail a study involving expert assessment or ground truth establishment.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The device is an injection system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The device is a hardware injection system and does not appear to involve algorithms in the context of diagnostic performance.

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

This information is not provided in the document, as it does not detail a study where ground truth would be established for evaluating diagnostic performance.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided in the document. The device is a hardware injection system and the submission does not mention a training set in the context of machine learning.

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

This information is not provided in the document.

6. Indications for Use

The ELPH Injection System used to inject Contrast Media and a flushing solution in order to enhance X-ray images.

7. Description of Device

The ELPH Injection System will deliver radiographic contrast media at a controlled flow rate and volume into a patient's vascular system for the purpose of obtaining enhanced diagnostic images. The ELPH is made up of the following major components:

Power Head- Contains the electromechanical syringe drive system, the syringe holding mechanism, the main microprocessor, control electronics, control keypad for programming and initiating injection protocols, a status display, and a purge/retract trigger.

Power Pack- Contains the power supply and interface. The interface is made up of relays and optical couplings that provide communication between devices. One use for the interface is to harmonize two injectors so as to provide greater contrast volume capability or a flushing solution.

Remote Console (Optional)- Communicates with the Power Head to program and initiate injection protocols, displays the injection status, and displays a timer.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Syringes- Accommodates the Mallinckrodt 125-ml pre-filled syringe styles. It is also accommodates the Liebel-Flarsheim 130-ml syringe (Part Number 600172). These syringes are commonplace on the market.

8. Substantial Equivalence

The Predicate device to the ELPH Injection System is the CT 8000 Digital Injection System (K912944), currently marketed under the name CT 9000ADV. The predicate device is designed to meet both the ordinary needs of the market as well as advanced needs. The ELPH on the other hand is designed to meet only the ordinary needs and is therefore less expensive, smaller and less complicated to operate. Features such as stored protocols, multi-phasic injections, high flow rate, and optional printer have been omitted in order to reduce cost and simplify the user interface.

With an optional interface, the ELPH Injection System may be joined with another ELPH Injector or other compatible injector. Interfacing two injectors and connecting the syringes through "Y" tubing enables greater deliverable X-ray contrast volumes. Interfacing two ELPH Injection Systems provides a maximum of 260-ml capability, while the predicate injector is limited to 200-ml. The Angiomat CT contrast injector (K860204) has been marketed by Liebel-Flarsheim and is capable of delivering up to 260-ml of contrast. The package insert for the X-ray contrast media defines the maximum allowable dose based on patient parameters.

Another application for interfacing two injectors is to provide a means to automatically flush the injection site before and/or after a contrast injection. This would be accomplished by filling one of the syringes with a flushing agent, normally saline. With the predicate device, the flush is done manually with a separate hand-held flushing syringe. Automatic flushing capability is available on other marketed injectors such as the Optistar MR Injection System, 510(k) number K984088.

Dear Mr. Rogers:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
