AI/ML Overview

The provided text primarily focuses on the 510(k) summary and FDA clearance for the PILL PHONE medication reminder software device. It details the device's classification, predicate devices, and a brief description of its features. However, it does not include any information about formal acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance criteria.

The document is a regulatory submission for market clearance based on substantial equivalence to existing devices, not a scientific study reporting performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.

The relevant sections are:

  • 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not found in the document.
  • 2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not found in the document.
  • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not found in the document.
  • 4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not found in the document.
  • 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 found in the document. The device is a standalone software, not an AI assistance tool for human readers in a diagnostic context.
  • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The device is described as "software that operates on a user's cell phone or other wireless device" and is a "medication reminder and information system." This strongly implies a standalone algorithm providing reminders and information. However, no specific performance study is mentioned.
  • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable, as no performance study is described.
  • 8. The sample size for the training set: Not found in the document.
  • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as no training set or ground truth for it is described.

Dear Mr. Barritt:

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 (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 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.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification.
