The SCIS will be used to inflate to 25±2 cmH2O the cuff of a high-volume, low-pressure endotracheal tube that has been intubated by a trained medical professional.
The Spiritus Cuff Inflation Syringe (SCIS) is a disposable syringe that will initially inflate the cuff on an endotracheal tube (ETT) to a pressure of 79 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 9 cmH2O to create a proper seal with the patients trachea and then automatically decrease the pressure in the cuff to a final pressure of 25cm H2O ± an average standard deviation of 2 cmH2O. The SCIS is designed in the form of a syringe to reflect current practice of using a syringe to inflate the cuff. The device is made of medical grade ISO approved plastic material. The SCIS is intended as a single patient use disposable device.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Device: Spiritus Cuff Inflation Syringe (SCIS)
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Target Performance) | Reported Device Performance (Spiritus Cuff Inflation Syringe - SCIS) |
|---|---|
| Initial Cuff Inflation Pressure: 79 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 9 cmH2O (for sealing) | 79 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 9cm (achieved) |
| Final Cuff Pressure: 25 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 2 cmH2O | 25 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 2cmH2O (achieved) |
| Precision of Cuff Pressure Measurement: Not explicitly stated as acceptance, but comparison shows. | ±2 cmH2O |
Note: The provided text is a 510(k) summary and discusses substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than detailing a dedicated study with acceptance criteria and results. The "reported device performance" above is derived from the device description and the claim of achieving these specific pressure outcomes automatically. The 510(k) process focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence, not necessarily on a formal study proving acceptance criteria in the same way a PMA would.
The provided document is a 510(k) Summary, which is a premarket notification to the FDA. For such submissions, a comprehensive "study" proving device performance against detailed acceptance criteria, especially for a new technology, is often not presented in a single, dedicated clinical trial report within the summary. Instead, the focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already legally marketed predicate devices.
Based on the document, the "study" demonstrating the device meets the acceptance criteria is implicit within the technical description and comparison to predicate devices:
Study Type (Implicit): Technical performance evaluation/bench testing demonstrating the automatic inflation and pressure reduction capabilities of the device. This is inferred from the declarative statements about the device's function and the comparison against predicate devices which also achieve specific pressure ranges.
Specific Information Points:
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document describes the device's intended performance and capabilities, and compares it to predicate devices. It does not provide details of a specific test set size (e.g., number of devices tested, number of inflation cycles).
- Data Provenance: Not specified. This would typically be from bench testing conducted by the manufacturer, but no details are given. It is not mentioned as clinical data (retrospective or prospective) from patient use.
-
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):
- Number of Experts: Not applicable/not specified. The device's performance (pressure inflation/reduction) is a physical measurement, not a subjective interpretation requiring expert consensus on a "ground truth" in the diagnostic imaging sense.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable/none. As this is a mechanical device performing a specific physical function, expert adjudication of results in the traditional sense is not relevant. The device's internal mechanics are designed to achieve the specified pressure through engineering rather than human judgment.
-
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:
- MRMC Study: No. This is a medical device (syringe for cuff inflation), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI-powered tool. An MRMC study is not applicable.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Standalone Performance: Yes, implicitly. The device is designed to automatically perform the inflation and pressure reduction. The human simply operates the syringe; the mechanical design handles the pressure regulation automatically. The text states: "the SCIS device establishes high and low cuff pressures automatically" and "Automatically set by device mechanical design."
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Type of Ground Truth: Mechanical measurement of physical pressure. The "ground truth" for the device's function is the absolute pressure within the cuff, measured by appropriate pressure sensors during design and testing.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable. As above, no training set or AI is involved.

510(K) Summary Page 3 of 3 February 10th, 2012
The Spiritus Cuff Inflation Syringe, SCIS, is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed below:
Posey Cufflator (K912723) - Both the Cufflator and SCIS are cuff inflation devices used in medical environments where patients are intubated. Both devices are used to temporarily inflate the cuff to elevated pressures between 60-90 cmH20 to seat the cuff against the patient's trachea; both devices utilize valves to drop this elevated pressure down to 22-32 cmH2O. Whereas the Cufflator user sets these pressures manually by referring on the Cufflator instruction manual, the SCIS device establishes high and low cuff pressures automatically (79 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 9cm and 25 cmH2O ± and average standard deviation of 2cmH2O respectively). SCIS does not monitor pressure as does the Cufflator, yet the SCIS instruction manual calls for the subsequent use of Minimum Occluding Volume and Minimum Leak techniques in conjunction with an intra-cuff pressure measuring device.
Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo Tracheal Tube (K871204) -- The materials found in the cuff inflation valve of the Hi-Lo Tracheal Tube include a stainless steel spring, a plastic housing, and a rubber gasket; these materials are substantially equivalent to those present in SCIS. Furthermore, the instruction manual for the Hi-Lo Tube calls for the use of a standard syringe to inflate the Hi-Lo cuff. Since SCIS functions as a syringe, this procedure is substantially equivalent.
Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo Tracheal Tube with Lanz Pressure Valve (K791045) - Both the Lanz valve and SCIS are used to automatically inflate the cuff to a specific pressure. Furthermore, the final cuff pressures left by Lanz and SCIS are substantially equivalent (26 cmH2O ± an average standard deviation of 2 cmH2O and 25cmH2O± an average of 2cmH2O respectively). Lastly, the instruction manual of the Hi-Lo Lanz Tracheal Tube, like that of the Hi-Lo Tube, calls for the use of a standard syringe to inflate the Hi-Lo cuff.

Dear Mr. Close:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
