Intended Use

The AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is intended to deliver an aerosol of diagnostic nuclear medicine to the lung for imaging. The device is intended for patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear lung ventilation imaging in a hospital or settings where nuclear medicine clinical testing is performed.

Device Description

The AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System generates and administers a fine droplet aerosol to the breathing areas of the lungs for diagnostic imaging. It has an injection site, a nebulizer, aerosol conduit, aerosol trapping and is manufactured of materials and components used in previously cleared 510(k) devices.

AI/ML Overview

The AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is intended to deliver an aerosol of diagnostic nuclear medicine to the lung for imaging. The device is intended for patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear lung ventilation imaging in a hospital or settings where nuclear medicine clinical testing is performed.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Specification)Reported Device Performance (Proposed AeroSol™ System (K063716))
Indications for UseThe AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System is intended to deliver an aerosol of diagnostic nuclear medicine to the lung for imaging.
Patient PopulationsFor patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear lung ventilation imaging in a hospital or settings where nuclear medicine clinical testing is performed.
Environment of UseHospitals or settings where nuclear medicine clinical testing is performed.
PerformanceNebulize radioaerosols
Nebulizer Performance tested via Malvern Laser DiffractionYes (Stated as "Yes" under the Proposed AeroSol™ System column, indicating the performance was tested and met the criteria based on predicate device similarity)
Circuit with conduits, valves, nebulizer, mouthpieces, and various adapters and connectors and aerosol trapping filterYes (Stated as "Yes" under the Proposed AeroSol™ System column, indicating the system features these components, mirroring the predicate device)
Materials - PVC, LDPE, K-Resin, Bromobutyl etc.Yes (Stated as "Yes" under the Proposed AeroSol™ System column, indicating the materials used are similar to the predicate device)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document does not mention a specific test set, its sample size, or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a clinical study comparing the AeroSol™ Radioaerosol System against a gold standard or human readers. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a de novo clinical performance study with a test set of patient data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. As no clinical test set is described, there's no information regarding experts establishing ground truth for such a set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Since no clinical test set is described, no adjudication method is mentioned.

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 device is a radioaerosol system for delivering diagnostic medicine, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging interpretation device. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm, but a medical delivery system. Its performance evaluation focuses on its ability to nebulize radioaerosols and its structural and material equivalence to predicate devices.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices, specifically the CIS-US Aerotech Aerosol Delivery System (K873930) and the AMICI Xenon System (K865084).

The "truth" for this 510(k) submission is that the proposed device shares the same indications for use, patient populations, environment of use, performance characteristics (e.g., ability to nebulize radioaerosols, nebulizer performance tested by Malvern Laser Diffraction), circuit components, and materials as the predicate devices. The document explicitly states: "There are no significant differences that affect the safety, use or effectiveness of the intended device as compared to the predicate devices."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. As there is no training set, no ground truth was established for it.

Dear Mr. Bono:

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 Eederal Register.
