Breathing circuit that is intended to administer medical gases to a patient. It provides both an inhalation and exhalation route and may include a connector, adaptor, and Y piece. The heated wires are intended to minimize condensation in the ventilator tubing.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "Hudson RCI Heated Wire Ventilator Circuit." This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not for proving the device meets acceptance criteria through a clinical study involving AI or human readers.
Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training sets is not applicable to this document. This document outlines the physical and performance characteristics of the proposed device and compares them to a legally marketed predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.
Here's a breakdown of the relevant information from the document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the way a clinical study would for efficacy. Instead, it provides a comparison of specifications and performance tests between the proposed device and its predicate. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the performance of the predicate device, which the new device aims to be substantially equivalent to or improve upon.

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 a 510(k) summary for a physical device. The testing described (e.g., resistance, compliance, leak rate) is laboratory-based performance testing of the device itself, not a clinical study with a "test set" of patient 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)
Not applicable. There is no concept of "ground truth" or "experts" in the context of this device's performance testing described in the summary. The tests evaluate physical properties against established standards (ISO 5367).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. See point 3.
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 a physical breathing circuit, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a physical breathing circuit, not an AI algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from standardized physical measurements and engineering specifications, primarily based on the ISO 5367 standard for breathing tubes and connectors.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of device submission.

13.0 Conclusion
Based on the information contained in this special 510(k) submission, Hudson RCI has determined that the current Hudson RCI Cat. no. 780-19, 20, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 51, 790-32, 52. and the proposed Hudson RCI cat. No 780-19, 20, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 51, 790-32, 52 heated wire circuits are substantially equivalent to their respective predicate devices listed in this submission. These changes to the circuits are truly a modification to the existing Hudson RCI Heated Wire Circuit product line.
These changes are being implemented at this time for cost effectiveness as well as addressing failure modes discovered over time with the current heated wire product offering.

Dear Mr. Mierkiewicz:
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.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Page 2 - Mr. Mierkiewicz
Please be advised that FDA`s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
