Intended Use

The USHIFU Stepper is intended to provide support and stabilization for an ultrasonic probe during prostate imaging.

Device Description

The USHIFU Stepper is a mechanical device which is manually controlled in the horizontal and vertical directions. It is designed to allow for finite adjustments in these planes. It is composed of light-weight materials, is pre-assembled and easily attached to a surgical table.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided information, addressing your questions about acceptance criteria and the study:

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "USHIFU Stepper." Crucially, this document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria.

The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on intended use, design, and materials, rather than presenting performance data from a specific study against acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer most of your questions based on the provided text.

Here's what I can infer and what is missing:


Acceptance Criteria and Study Information (Not Present in Document)

Acceptance Criteria CategoryAcceptance Criteria ValueReported Device PerformanceComments / Missing Information
Performance MetricsNot specifiedNot reportedThe document does not define any quantitative or qualitative performance metrics (e.g., stability, precision, ease of use beyond simple operation).
Clinical EndpointsNot specifiedNot reportedNo clinical endpoints are mentioned, as the device is a mechanical support, not one with diagnostic or therapeutic output.
Safety EndpointsNot specifiedNot reportedGeneral safety is implied by substantial equivalence, but specific safety criteria or test results are not provided.
Usability/Usability TestNot specifiedNot reportedNo usability criteria or testing is detailed.

Study Details (Information Not Present in Document)

1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
Not available. The document does not describe any specific test set or clinical study.

2. 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):
Not available. No study or ground truth establishment is described.

3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not available. No study or adjudication method is described.

4. 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/Not available.

  • The device is a mechanical support for an ultrasonic probe, not an AI device.
  • Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with/without AI assistance would not be relevant to this device.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
Not applicable/Not available.

  • The device is a mechanical support, not an algorithm.
  • No standalone performance testing of an algorithm is described.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
Not available. No study or ground truth establishment is described.

7. The sample size for the training set:
Not available. The device is a mechanical device, not an AI model, so the concept of a "training set" is not applicable in this context.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable/Not available. The device is a mechanical device, not an AI model, so the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not applicable.


Summary of the USHIFU Stepper 510(k)

The K080870 submission for the USHIFU Stepper is a Traditional 510(k), which aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously legally marketed device (the predicate device: K843573, Super Scan/Biopsy Guide, CIVCO).

The core argument for substantial equivalence is based on:

  • Intended Use: Both devices are for supporting and stabilizing an ultrasonic probe during prostate imaging.
  • Design: Both are mechanical devices allowing for adjustments. The USHIFU Stepper is described as manually controlled in horizontal and vertical directions, allowing for finite adjustments.
  • Composition/Materials: Both are composed of light-weight materials, pre-assembled, and easily attached to a surgical table (implied for the predicate as well, given the equivalence claim).

The FDA's review concluded that the device is substantially equivalent, allowing it to be marketed. This type of submission generally does not require new clinical studies or detailed performance testing against acceptance criteria if substantial equivalence can be demonstrated through comparison to a predicate device with similar technological characteristics and intended use. The 510(k) process often relies on existing data or widely accepted engineering principles to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for devices that are similar to those already on the market.

Dear Ms. Ryan:

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 voanufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket 11 your do roo is olastilia (50 such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your Apple rar, to they of boole of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the federal Register.
