Intended Use

The UreTron Multi Probe Lithotripter system is intended to be used for the fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter and bladder.

Device Description

The UreTron Multi Probe Lithotripter system is intended to be used for the fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter and bladder. The system is an electromechanical device and consists of a generator, hand piece and probes. The hand piece is an ultrasonic transducer containing piezo-electric ceramic elements. The generator drives the hand piece at 21000 +/- 1000 Hz to get mechanical vibration through the probes to urinary tract calculi.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the UreTron Multi Probe Lithotripter, but it does not contain the detailed information necessary to complete the requested table and study questions. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through performance data, but it does not specify acceptance criteria in quantitative terms or provide the specifics of the studies in the way requested.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what information is missing:

Information present in the document:

  • Intended Use: Fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter, and bladder.
  • Performance Data: Verification and Validation tests were conducted to demonstrate functionality, sterility, and biocompatibility. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated by "stone model fragmentation testing, probe life testing and tissue perforation testing." The test data "proves UreTron's efficacy with stone model penetration rates as compared to the predicate devices."
  • Product Name: UreTron™ Multi Probe Lithotripter
  • Manufacturer: Med-Sonics, Corp.

Information NOT present in the document (and thus cannot be provided in the requested format):

  • A table of specific, quantitative acceptance criteria.
  • Reported device performance values against those specific criteria.
  • Sample sizes used for any test sets mentioned (e.g., stone model fragmentation, probe life, tissue perforation).
  • Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective for any test data).
  • Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  • Adjudication method for any test set.
  • Whether a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or any effect size for human reader improvement with AI assistance (as this is an electromechanical device, not an AI/imaging device).
  • Whether a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done (again, not applicable for this type of device in the AI context).
  • The type of ground truth used (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) with specific details. The document mentions "stone model fragmentation", which implies synthetic ground truth.
  • Sample size for the training set (not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set).
  • How ground truth for the training set was established (not applicable).

Based on the provided text, here's what can be answered, with clear indications of missing information:

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

Acceptance Criteria (Quantitative)Reported Device Performance
Missing: Specific quantitative criteria are not provided.Missing: Specific quantitative performance values are not reported.
(e.g., Stone fragmentation rate of X%; Probe life of Y hours; Tissue perforation depth < Z mm)(e.g., Achieved stone fragmentation rate of X.X%; Probe life of Y.Y hours; No tissue perforation beyond Z.Z mm)
General Statement: Demonstration of functionality, sterility, biocompatibility.Verification and Validation tests conducted and substantiated safety and effectiveness.
Substantial equivalence in stone model penetration rates compared to predicate devices.Data proves UreTron's efficacy with stone model penetration rates as compared to the predicate devices.

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the document for stone model fragmentation, probe life, or tissue perforation tests.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The tests were "conducted" but no details on their location or whether they were retrospective/prospective are provided.

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 specified. The document mentions "stone model fragmentation testing," which typically involves objective measurements on synthetic models (e.g., BegoStone or similar). This type of testing usually doesn't involve "experts" establishing a subjective ground truth in the way medical imaging interpretation does.

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

  • Not applicable / Not specified. The nature of the tests (stone model fragmentation, probe life, tissue perforation) does not typically involve human adjudication in the sense of consensus reading for diagnostic accuracy.

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

  • No. This is an electromechanical medical device for lithotripsy, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is not relevant or applicable.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical lithotripter entirely operated with human intervention (human-in-the-loop), not an algorithm that can perform standalone.

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

  • The primary type of "ground truth" implied for efficacy testing is performance against stone models (e.g., successful fragmentation, specified penetration rates) and controlled testing for probe life and tissue perforation under laboratory conditions. This is a form of engineered or synthetic ground truth, not clinical ground truth like pathology or patient outcomes, nor expert consensus for diagnostic tasks.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This device is an electromechanical device, not an AI/machine learning algorithm, and therefore does not have a "training set" in that context.

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

  • Not applicable. See point 8.

The UreTron has the same intended use and similar technical specifications as compared with predicate devices.

## PERFORMANCE DATA

The UreTron was tested by NRTL labs for EMC and Electrical Safety according to IEC 60601. Verification and Validation tests were conducted to demonstrate the UreTron's functionality. sterility and biocompatibility for its intended use. These verification and validation test results substantiated safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.

Substantial equivalence with predicate devices is demonstrated by stone model fragmentation testing, probe life testing and tissue perforation testing. The test data proves UreTron's efficacy with stone model penetration rates as compared to the predicate devices.

#### CONCLUSION

Med-Sonics' UreTron Multi Probe Lithotripter system is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices compared herein.

§ 876.4480 Electrohydraulic lithotriptor.

(a)
Identification. An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Intracorporeal Lithotripters.”
