C-scan is a magnetic resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal and coronal and oblique crosssection images of the limbs and joints. It is intended for imaging portions of the arm, including the hand, wrist, forearm and elbow, but excluding the upper arm, and imaging portions of the leg, including the foot, ankle, call and knee, but excluding the thigh.
C-scan MR images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and "chemical shift". When interpreted by a medical expert trained in the use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.
The C-scan device is a magnetic resonance (MR) system. The changes performed on the C-scan device, with respect to the cleared version - Artoscan C K010057 -, are due to the improvement of the system performance. These modifications do not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device and are the following:
- Upgrading of the electronics.
- New pulse sequences.
- A new software release.
- Mobile installation.
The system is composed of three main parts:
- Patient Positioning Seat
- Operating console that consists of the PC unit (including keyboard and mouse), the monitor and the operating table.
- Electronics and Magnetic Unit
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the C-scan MR system, indicating it's a submission for modifications to an already cleared device (Artoscan C K010057) rather than a de novo submission. As such, the focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, not necessarily on entirely new clinical studies to prove effectiveness or diagnostic accuracy against specific acceptance criteria for a novel device.
The "study" described here is a comparison of technical specifications and performance characteristics between the modified C-scan and the predicate Artoscan C, to show that the modifications do not alter the intended use and maintain or improve performance within the established safety and effectiveness profile of an MR diagnostic device.
Here's an attempt to extract the requested information based on the provided text, acknowledging that some fields may not be directly applicable or explicitly stated in a 510(k) summary focused on technical equivalence for an MR system upgrade:
Description of Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Criteria
The device under review, the C-scan MR System, is a modified version of the previously cleared Artoscan C (K010057). The acceptance criteria are implicitly based on demonstrating that the performance of the C-scan, with its upgraded electronics, new pulse sequences, new software, and mobile installation capability, is equivalent to or improved compared to the predicate device, without negatively affecting its intended use or fundamental scientific technology. The study presented is a technical comparison focusing on various system characteristics.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- This 510(k) summary primarily details technical specifications and comparisons to a predicate device. It does not describe a clinical test set in the traditional sense of patient data used for diagnostic accuracy assessment. The "study" here is a technical comparison report.
- Therefore, there is no mention of a sample size or data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a clinical test set. The submission focuses on inherent device performance characteristics.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. As no clinical test set is described, there's no mention of experts establishing ground truth for such a set. The validation is based on engineering and performance metrics compared to established standards for MR systems and the predicate device.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. No clinical 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:
- Not applicable. The C-scan MR System is a diagnostic imaging device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. There is no mention of AI or MRMC studies.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a hardware/software upgrade of an MR imaging system; it does not represent an "algorithm only" product for standalone performance assessment.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Not applicable in the clinical sense. The "ground truth" for this submission are the established technical specifications and performance characteristics of the predicate device (Artoscan C K010057) and general regulatory requirements for MR diagnostic devices. The modifications are assessed against these technical and performance benchmarks.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning or AI algorithm where a "training set" would be used.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned.

Dear Ms. Graham:
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.
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.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance diagnostic device.
(a)
Identification. A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
