Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a device modification, specifically for the "AngioDynamics, Inc. NeverTouch II 400µm Fiber and VenaCure Procedure Kit." This is not a study or research paper describing acceptance criteria and a study to prove a device meets those criteria. Instead, it's a regulatory submission affirming substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested in points 1-9 regarding acceptance criteria, device performance results, sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, or any comparative effectiveness studies.

Here's why each point cannot be addressed from the given text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document states "Performance Standards: None Established" in section (j). It doesn't present any specific acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) for the modified device or report performance metrics against such criteria. The submission is based on substantial equivalence, implying that if the modified device is substantially similar to the predicate and doesn't introduce new risks, specific performance testing against novel criteria isn't always required in the same way a de novo device might.
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): No test set, sample size, or data provenance is mentioned. This is a regulatory filing, not a clinical study report.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): No mention of experts or ground truth establishment.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable as there's no test set or study 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 device is a surgical fiber, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study or AI assistance is mentioned.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. No ground truth is mentioned.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No training set is mentioned.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No training set or ground truth is mentioned.

The document is a communication from the FDA granting clearance for a modified medical device based on its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, without detailed performance studies being explicitly presented within this particular submission.

Dear Ms. Juckett:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
