AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for several disposable bacterial/viral filters. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than explicit acceptance criteria and studies proving the device meets those criteria.

Therefore, the requested information cannot be fully extracted based on the provided text alone, as it focuses on comparing the new devices to existing ones, not on establishing and meeting new, explicit performance acceptance criteria through independent studies.

However, I can extract the reported device performance characteristics that function as implicit "acceptance criteria" through comparison with predicate devices.

Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred and what cannot:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

Since this is a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" are the performance characteristics of the predicate device. The "reported device performance" is how the new devices compare to those predicates.

Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Predicate)Reported Device Performance (New Devices)
Mini-Filter/S Filtration Efficiency (Viral)Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990) - Not explicitly stated but assumed to be met or exceeded.99.98%
Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S Filtration Efficiency (Viral)Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - Not explicitly stated but assumed to be met or exceeded.99.999%
Uni-Filter Filtration Efficiency (Viral)Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - Not explicitly stated but the new device has "lower viral filtration efficiency" than the predicate. This suggests the predicate's viral filtration was higher.99.9%
Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S Filtration Efficiency (Bacteria)Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - Not explicitly stated but new devices are "better or equal" to the predicate.>99.9999%
Uni-Filter Filtration Efficiency (Bacteria)Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - Not explicitly stated but new devices are "better or equal" to the predicate.99.98%
Mini-Filter/S Breathing ResistanceDatex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990) - Updated labeling reflects a "more accurate measurement." New device still has "lower breathing resistances" than Datex-Ohmeda HMEF Mini (K023641).Lower than Datex-Ohmeda HMEF Mini (K023641). Specific value not provided.
Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S, Uni-Filter Breathing ResistanceIntersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - New devices have "lower resistance" than the predicate.Lower than Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949). Specific values not provided.
Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S WeightIntersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - New devices have "smaller weight."Smaller than Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949). Specific values not provided.
Uni-Filter WeightIntersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - Not explicitly stated, implied to be larger due to larger size.Specific value not provided.
Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S Dead SpaceIntersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - New devices have "smaller dead spaces."Smaller than Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949). Specific values not provided.
Uni-Filter Dead SpaceIntersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) - New device is "a little bigger filter," implying a larger dead space.A little bigger than Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949). Specific value not provided.
MaterialsMedical grade plastic (common to predicate)Medical grade plastic (PP Polypropylene, PP and acrylic fibers)
BiocompatibilityBiocompatible (non-cytotoxic and non-allergic), non-toxic (common to predicate)Biocompatible (non-cytotoxic and non-allergic), non-toxic

Note: For 510(k) submissions, the "acceptance criteria" are often implicitly understood as being "at least as good as or better than" the predicate device in aspects related to safety and effectiveness.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not provided. The submission is a regulatory filing focused on substantial equivalence, not a detailed scientific study report with specific test data. It only states performance characteristics as facts.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. This type of information is relevant for studies involving human interpretation or subjective judgment (e.g., medical imaging). For filter performance, objective laboratory tests are typically used.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/Not provided. This is not relevant for the type of objective performance testing implied for these devices.

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. These are physical filters, not AI-powered diagnostic devices.

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

  • Not applicable. These are physical filters, not algorithms.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Objective laboratory measurements. While implicitly understood, the text doesn't provide details on the specific methods used (e.g., specific standards, test setups) for measuring filtration efficiency, breathing resistance, etc., but these would be based on established scientific and engineering principles. For example, "Filtration efficiency viral" would be determined by challenging the filter with a viral aerosol and measuring the reduction.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of physical filter performance testing.

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

  • Not applicable. As above, no training set.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE as required by 807.92(a)(6)

The Mini-Filter/S has the following similarities to the Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S predicate device (K030990):

Mini-Filter/S is identical to predicate (K030990) in physical construction and all specifications except labeled resistance as described below.

The Mini-Filter/S has the following differences when compared to the Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S predicate device:

  • · The devices differ in labeled breathing resistance
    · Labeling is updated to modify the contraindications

The main differences between the Mini-Filter/S and the predicate Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990) are due to fact that the updated labeling reflects a more accurate measurement of the breathing resistance values due to updated equipment calibration. There is no material or design change and the product itself is identical. Mini-Filter/S still has lower breathing resistances than Datex-Ohmeda HMEF Mini (K023641).

The main differences between the labeling is that it describes the use of the Mini-Filler/S with nebulizers and active humidification. In this issue Mini-Filter/S is similar to the legally marketed (predicate) Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).

In summary, the Mini-Filter/S, described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990).

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter are substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the legally marketed (predicate) Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have the following similarities to the Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) predicate devices:

  • · Have a similar indicated use
  • · Have the same fundamental scientific technology and use the same operating principle

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have the following differences when compared to the Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) predicate devices:

  • · The devices differ in Breathing resistance, weight, dead space and shelf life
  • · Labeling is updated to modify the contraindications
  • · Filtration efficiency against virus
  • · Filtration efficiency against bacteria

The main differences between the Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter and the predicate device Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) are due to fact that Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have better or equal filtration efficiency (except Uni-Filter has lower viral filtration efficiency), smaller weight , smaller dead spaces (except Uni-Filter which is a little bigger filter) and lower resistance than predicate Intersurgical Clear-Guard.

In summary, the Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter , described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).
