Device Description

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Cosman G4 Radiofrequency Generator, which is a medical device. This type of document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to existing devices rather than presenting a detailed clinical study demonstrating acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies is not available in this filing.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is not applicable:

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

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as pass/fail criteria in the provided text. The document states that "Performance testing was done to validate the intended use of the Cosman device." However, specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "output power must be within X% of target") are not detailed.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not detailed in this summary. The 510(k) summary asserts "The comparison and performance test results in this 510(k) notification show that the Cosman G4 Radiofrequency Generator is substantially equivalent to the predicated devices and is safe and effective for the intended use." This indicates that performance data was collected and reviewed by the FDA, but the actual data and specific performance metrics are not included in this high-level summary.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • This information is not provided in the 510(k) summary. Performance testing is mentioned, but details about the test set, its size, or provenance are absent. For a radiofrequency generator, performance testing typically involves bench testing or animal studies, not human data sets in the way AI/ML devices do.

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)

  • Not applicable/Not provided. For a device like a radiofrequency generator, "ground truth" would relate to its physical output and operational parameters rather than clinical diagnoses established by experts.

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

  • Not applicable/Not provided. This concept is typically relevant for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., image analysis for AI devices).

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 radiofrequency generator, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or an imaging device that requires human interpretation.

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device. Its performance is directly tied to its physical operation.

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

  • Not explicitly stated. For a physical device like this, "ground truth" for performance testing would likely involve objective measurements of electrical output (e.g., power, impedance, temperature at the probe tip) against specifications, using calibrated equipment.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a hardware device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

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

  • Not applicable. As above, this is not a machine learning device.

Dear Mr. Falconc:

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.
