Intended Use

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath provides a sterile, disposable protective covering for flexible endoscopes during endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal chords, nasal passages, esophagus and pulmonary structures,

Device Description

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath (EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™) is a sterile, single-use device that covers the entire patient contact surface of flexible endoscopes and eliminates the need for high-level disinfection of the endoscope following each procedure. The device is composed of a contiguous polymeric sheath, with an optical window at the distal end, which is preloaded on a deployment tube. Some models of the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ include a Y-connector and side port channel(s) that are intended to allow passage of air, water, suction and biopsy instruments.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath. This type of regulatory submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and standalone algorithm performance as would be expected for an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment is not present in this document because it is not typically required or included in a 510(k) submission for this type of device.

However, I can extract the information that is present:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in the way one would see for an AI/ML device. Instead, it describes non-clinical tests conducted to address safety and performance characteristics related to minor design differences compared to predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is a general statement about the success of these tests.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Optical qualities of sheath windowDemonstrated satisfactory performance (implied by "reliably achieves the desired affect")
Sheath mechanical testsDemonstrated satisfactory performance (implied by "reliably achieves the desired affect")
Finished device barrier testingDemonstrated satisfactory performance (implied by "reliably achieves the desired affect")
Overall safety for intended use"reliably achieves the desired affect and is safe for its intended use."
No new questions of safety or effectiveness for endoscope barrier sheaths"No new questions of safety or effectiveness for endoscope barrier sheaths were raised during the testing."

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

Not applicable. The document describes non-clinical material and functional testing of the device itself, not a study involving human or image data with a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML device.

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

Not applicable. Ground truth as typically defined for AI/ML performance evaluation (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant to this type of device and submission. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would have been established by standard engineering and material science measurement techniques and validated against industry standards or predicate device performance.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. No "test set" of clinical cases requiring adjudication by human experts is described.

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 not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study was conducted or is described.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; therefore, no algorithm-only performance was assessed.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would have been established through:

  • Engineering specifications and standards: For mechanical tests and optical qualities.
  • Microbiological testing standards: For barrier testing.
  • Comparison to predicate device performance: To ensure similarity and non-inferiority.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set" or corresponding ground truth establishment process in the AI/ML context.

Intended Use

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath provides a sterile, disposable protective covering for flexible endoscopes during endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal chords, nasal passages, esophagus and pulmonary structures,

Device Description

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath (EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™) is a sterile, single-use device that covers the entire patient contact surface of flexible endoscopes and eliminates the need for high-level disinfection of the endoscope following each procedure.

Some models of the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ include a Y-connector and side port channel(s) that are intended to allow passage of air, water, suction and biopsy instruments.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Substantial Equivalence Comparison

The intended use of the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover is similar to the predicate devices in that the sheaths are sterile, disposable protective accessories used to cover endoscopes, catheters or instruments to help prevent the transmission of pathogens.

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ device configuration is similar to the predicate devices in that all devices are comprised of a membrane sheath, a proximal connector and, with respect to the endoscope barrier sheaths, a distal polymeric window. Some models of the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ and predicate devices also include a side working channel. The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover application method is similar to the predicate devices in that the sheath slides on and off with no vacuum/ pressure source required.

The EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ sheath material to the sheath material for the Memcath Urology Introducer Sheath (K000767) and the SLIP Urology Introducer Sheath (K042531) predicate devices. Safety and performance characteristics related to minor design differences have been addressed through the following nonclinical tests:

  • Optical qualities of sheath window .
  • Sheath mechanical tests .
  • Finished device barrier testing .

Nonclinical performance testing demonstrated that the EndoMedical Technologies Quik-Cover™ reliably achieves the desired affect and is safe for its intended use. No new questions of safety or effectiveness for endoscope barrier sheaths were raised during the testing. The EndoMedical Technologies Quil-Cover Flexible Endoscope Barrier Sheath is, therefore, substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices.
