Intended Use

The LC Star is a handheld nebulizer, designed to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The nasal adapter facilitates delivery to the upper airways. The LC Star with nasal adapter is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for aerosol medication.

Device Description

The LC Star reusable nebulizer with nasal adapter is a small, single patient use, reusable air-powered nebulizer for the inhalation treatment of aerosolized medications. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the LC Star Reusable Nebulizer with Nasal Adapter. It details the device, its intended use, and a non-clinical test summary. However, it explicitly states that clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence. Therefore, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria for device performance based on a study, nor does it provide details about sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance studies, or training set information.

Based on the provided information, here's what can be extracted:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria. Instead, it uses comparative language.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
MMAD comparable to predicate devicesLC Star with nasal adapter MMAD is comparable to the predicate devices
RM comparable to predicate devicesLC Star with nasal adapter RM is comparable to the predicate devices
Total Mass comparable to predicate devicesLC Star with nasal adapter Total Mass is comparable to the predicate devices

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

Not applicable. The document states "Clinical testing was not completed/is not required." Non-clinical tests typically involve device measurements and performance characteristics rather than patient data.

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

Not applicable. No clinical study for substantial equivalence was conducted, therefore no expert ground truth was established from patient data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable. No clinical study for substantial equivalence was conducted.

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 device is a medical device (nebulizer) and not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was mentioned or would be relevant.

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

Not applicable. This device is a medical device and not an algorithm. Performance was assessed based on non-clinical measurements described in the summary.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

Not applicable. For the non-clinical tests (MMAD, RM, Total Mass), the "ground truth" would be the measured values from the predicate devices, against which the new device's measurements were compared.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. No clinical study with a training set was conducted.

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

Not applicable. No clinical study with a training set was conducted.

Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The study proving the device meets acceptance criteria was non-clinical testing. The 510(k) summary explicitly states: "The LC Star with nasal adapter was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices, including: MMAD: LC Star with nasal adapter MMAD is comparable to the predicate devices, RM: LC Star with nasal adapter RM is comparable to the predicate devices, Total Mass: LC Star with nasal adapter Total Mass is comparable to the predicate devices."

The conclusion from this non-clinical testing was that "LC Star with nasal adapter meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness." This comparison to legally marketed predicate devices (MABIS NB-02 Ultrasonic Nebulizer and PARI LC® Star Nebulizer) forms the basis for the substantial equivalence determination and indicates that the device's technical specifications are within an acceptable range relative to established devices. No clinical data or human subject studies were required or performed to demonstrate equivalence.

Device Description

The LC Star reusable nebulizer with nasal adapter is a small, single patient use, reusable air-powered nebulizer for the inhalation treatment of aerosolized medications. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

Indications For Use

The LC Star is a handheld nebulizer, designed to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The nasal adapter facilitates delivery to the upper airways. The LC Star with nasal adapter is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for aerosol medication.

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device

The LC Star with nasal adapter, MABIS NB-02, and LC Star are all nebulizers used to aerosolize medication for inhalation. The LC Star with nasal adapter and LC Star devices are air compressor-driven jet nebulizers using the same aerosolization method.

The LC Star with nasal adapter employs identical materials compared to the LC Star nebulizer and has a similar breath-enhanced design. The nasal adapter added to the system is similar to that used with the MABIS Mist Ultrasonic nebulizer.

Non-Clinical Test Summary

The LC Star with nasal adapter was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices, including:

  • MMAD: LC Star with nasal adapter MMAD is comparable to the predicate devices ■
  • . RM: LC Star with nasal adapter RM is comparable to the predicate devices
  • Total Mass: LC Star with nasal adapter Total Mass is comparable to the predicate devices

Clinical Performance Summary

Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.

Conclusions from Testing

LC Star with nasal adapter meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:

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.
