Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is related to a 510(k) premarket notification for a disposable vaginal speculum, not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria, study design, expert involvement, and training/test set details, which are typical for AI/ML device evaluations, is largely not present in this document.

However, I can extract information relevant to the device and the regulatory process.

Device Information:

  • Trade Name: KENTEX Disposable Vaginal Speculum
  • Common Name: Disposable Vaginal Speculum
  • Classification Name: Non Metal Vaginal Speculum
  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR Part 884.4530
  • Product Code: HIB
  • Regulatory Class: II

Intended Use Statement (from the "Indications for Use" section):
"INTENDED TO BE USED FOR GENERAL VAGINA PROCEDURES. IT IS INSERTED INTO THE VAGINA TO ALLOW THE VISUALIZATION OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VAGINA."

Regarding your specific questions, based on the provided text, the following cannot be answered as they pertain to AI/ML device studies, which this is not:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  4. Adjudication method for the test set
  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
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
  7. The type of ground truth used
  8. The sample size for the training set
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Explanation for lack of AI/ML specific information:

The document describes a traditional medical device (a disposable vaginal speculum) undergoing the 510(k) clearance process. This process primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, often through performance testing, material characterization, and compliance with recognized standards, rather than complex clinical studies involving AI algorithm performance metrics, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader studies. The FDA's letter explicitly states: "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... to legally marketed predicate devices." This substantial equivalence determination does not typically involve the types of studies you are asking about for AI/ML devices.

§ 884.4530 Obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument.

(a)
Identification. An obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument is one of a group of devices used during obstetric-gynecologic procedures to perform manipulative diagnostic and surgical functions (e.g., dilating, grasping, measuring, and scraping), where structural integrity is the chief criterion of device performance. This type of device consists of the following:(1) An amniotome is an instrument used to rupture the fetal membranes.
(2) A circumcision clamp is an instrument used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant.
(3) An umbilical clamp is an instrument used to compress the umbilical cord.
(4) A uterine curette is an instrument used to scrape and remove material from the uterus.
(5) A fixed-size cervical dilator is any of a series of bougies of various sizes used to dilate the cervical os by stretching the cervix.
(6) A uterine elevator is an instrument inserted into the uterus used to lift and manipulate the uterus.
(7) A gynecological surgical forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used to pull, grasp, or compress during gynecological examination.
(8) A cervical cone knife is a cutting instrument used to excise and remove tissue from the cervix.
(9) A gynecological cerclage needle is a looplike instrument used to suture the cervix.
(10) A hook-type contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) remover is an instrument used to remove an IUD from the uterus.
(11) A gynecological fibroid screw is an instrument used to hold onto a fibroid.
(12) A uterine sound is an instrument used to determine the depth of the uterus by inserting it into the uterine cavity.
(13) A cytological cervical spatula is a blunt instrument used to scrape and remove cytological material from the surface of the cervix or vagina.
(14) A gynecological biopsy forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used for gynecological biopsy procedures.
(15) A uterine tenaculum is a hooklike instrument used to seize and hold the cervix or fundus.
(16) An internal pelvimeter is an instrument used within the vagina to measure the diameter and capacity of the pelvis.
(17) A nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument used to expose the interior of the vagina.
(18) A fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument, with fiberoptic light, used to expose and illuminate the interior of the vagina.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an umbilical clamp with or without a cutter, a uterine tenaculum which is sterile and does not use suction and is intended for single use, a nonmetal vaginal speculum, or a fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.(2) Class I for the amniotome, uterine curette, cervical dilator (fixed-size bougies), cerclage needle, IUD remover, uterine sound, and gynecological biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
