Intended Use

The Shelhigh BioRing™ is intended for use in the repair of the human cardiac mitral valve.
The Shelhigh BioRing™ is indicated as a reinforcement for repair of the human cardiac mitral valve damaged by acquired or congenital disease, or a replacement for a previously implanted annuloplasty ring.

Device Description

The Shelhigh BioRing™ consists of circular rings made of Polyester material and covered with No-React processed pericardium.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Shelhigh BioRing and describes its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information about a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way typically expected for an AI/ML device.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, ground truth, and sample sizes for a performance study evaluating an AI/ML component is not applicable to this document.

However, I can extract the information that is present and indicate where the requested details are not available.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance based on a study, nor does it report specific performance metrics in that context. The "acceptance criteria" here are related to demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on materials, intended use, and technological characteristics.

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
Intended UseSame as predicate devices (repair of human cardiac mitral valve)
Technological CharacteristicsSimilar to predicate devices (circular rings, polyester material, No-React processed pericardium)
Material PropertiesGood tensile strength, good suture retention
BiocompatibilityNon-toxic, non-hemolytic, non-pyrogenic; Passed all required biocompatibility tests

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Not applicable. This document does not describe a performance study with a test set. The evaluation is based on a comparison to predicate devices and material testing.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

Not applicable. No test set or ground truth establishment by experts is described in this context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No test set or adjudication method is described.

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 device is an annuloplasty ring, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, no MRMC study involving AI assistance was conducted or would be relevant to this product.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Not applicable. For this type of medical device (physical implant), "ground truth" would relate to factors like material specifications, biocompatibility test results, and clinical outcomes for the predicate devices, rather than an expert-adjudicated dataset. The document states that the materials "passed the requirements of all tests," implying a comparison to established standards for safety and performance (biocompatibility, tensile strength, suture retention).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no AI/ML component, thus no training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. There is no AI/ML component, thus no training set or its associated ground truth.

Trade Name: Shelhigh BioRingTM Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.3800 Regulation Name: Annuloplasty Ring Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: 74 KRH Dated: November 6, 2003 Received: November 26, 2002

Dear Dr. Gabbay:

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.
