To be attached to the distal end of the endoscope to facilitate endoscopic therapy, to be used for the following:
- Keeping the suitable depth of endoscope's view field
- Helping the endoscope with being inserted into the gastrointestinal tract
The Arc EndoCuff has a short tube like shape with flexible hairs and is attached to the distal end of the endoscope to facilitate endoscopic therapy.
The Arc EndoCuff is designed to fit specific endoscopes (as designated on the packaging), and is supplied sterile following radiation sterilization and is single use only.
The provided 510(k) summary for the Arc EndoCuff does not describe quantitative acceptance criteria or a study designed to rigorously prove that the device meets such criteria. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through qualitative comparisons and bench testing.
Here's an analysis of the provided information based on your requested categories:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
No explicit quantitative acceptance criteria are provided in the document, nor are specific performance metrics reported against such criteria. The document states:
"The bench testing demonstrates that the Endocuff design combines some of the benefits of both being a slim cylindrical device (like the Olympus product) and being able to stabilise and view the mucosa effectively on a greater diameter (as does the Fujinon balloon) but within the one product."
And concludes:
"The performance data showed that the sterilisation method selected...has not introduced any additional risks and the patient contacting materials have been tested for biocompatibility with reports demonstrating no negatives in safety or effectiveness."
"The bench testing has demonstrated that the device does not introduce any additional risks when undertaking endoscopic therapy and meeting the intended use."
These statements are qualitative and comparative, focusing on the absence of additional risks and meeting intended use, rather than predefined measurable acceptance criteria.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document describes "bench testing" but does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical data, as it's not a clinical study. The testing appears to be primarily laboratory-based to assess material properties, sterilization effectiveness, and mechanical characteristics. Therefore, sample sizes for a patient test set are not applicable here.
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, as this was not a clinical study involving diagnosis or interpretation where expert ground truth would be established. The evaluations described ("bench testing") would likely involve engineers and materials scientists ensuring the device's physical and functional properties meet design specifications and are comparable to predicates.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as this was not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.
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 mechanical accessory (EndoCuff) for an endoscope, not an AI or imaging interpretation device. Therefore, MRMC studies and "human readers improving with AI" are not relevant to this submission.
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-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The concept of "ground truth" as typically used in AI or diagnostic device evaluations (e.g., pathology, clinical outcomes) is not directly applicable. For "bench testing," the "truth" would be established by validated engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., USP Class VI for biocompatibility), and direct physical measurements or observations of device function and integrity under controlled conditions.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI or machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.
Overall Conclusion on Acceptance Criteria and Study:
The Arc EndoCuff 510(k) summary primarily demonstrates substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices (Olympus Distal Attachment and Fujinon BS-2 balloon). The "study" referenced is bench testing, which compared the "design," "materials," and "size" of the EndoCuff to its predicates. The performance data focused on proving that:
- The device combines benefits of both predicate types (slim cylindrical + ability to stabilize/view mucosa effectively).
- The sterilization method does not introduce additional risks.
- Biocompatibility testing showed no negatives in safety or effectiveness for patient-contacting materials.
- The device does not introduce additional risks during endoscopic therapy and meets its intended use.
The acceptance criteria implicitly derive from the predicate devices' established safety and effectiveness. The "study" (bench testing) was deemed sufficient to show that the minor technological differences "do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness" and that the device is "as safe and effective" as the predicates. No specific quantitative performance metrics or clinical study results against predefined acceptance criteria are provided because the regulatory pathway chosen emphasizes equivalence rather than novel performance claims.

Description
Description of Device
The Arc EndoCuff has a short tube like shape with flexible hairs and is attached to the distal end of the endoscope to facilitate endoscopic therapy.
The Arc EndoCuff is designed to fit specific endoscopes (as designated on the packaging), and is supplied sterile following radiation sterilization and is single use only.
Indications for Use:
To be attached to the distal end of the endoscope to facilitate endoscopic therapy, to be used for the following:
- Keeping the suitable depth of endoscope's view field
- Helping the endoscope with being inserted into the gastrointestinal tract �
Summary of the Technological Characteristics of the Device compared to the Predicate Device
Design
The EndoCuff are a cylindrical shaped all polymer products. It utilises the combined properties of two polymer materials to self-retain to the designated endoscope(s). The product features a number of flexible "hair" features that fold within the structure of the product during intubation and forward movement when in use, and open out when drawn backward to control field of view.
Materials
EndoCuff raw materials have been purpose chosen as conforming to USP class VI and tested for biocompatibility (See Section 15).
Size:
The product is similar in bodily size and cylindrical shape to the products seen in both the Olympus Reusable (MH Series K984358) and Single-use (D-201 Series K984358) Distal Attachment model ranges.
The flexible hair features work at a similar diameter to the size of the 200 predicate Fujinon BS-2 balloon (when inflated).
{2}------------------------------------------------
Summary of the Determination of Substantial Equivalence & Performance Data
The EndoCuff is used to maintain and maximise the endoscopes field of view during endoscopic therapy by manipulating colonic folds, maintaining a central position in the lumen and avoiding sudden slippage. The nominated predicate devices maximise the field of view in the same way, in particular:
- . The Olympus Distal Attachment (MH Series and D-201 series K984358), is used to manipulate colonic folds; and
- . The Fujinon BS-2 balloon (K090116) maintains central position in the lumen and avoids slippage by exerting circumferential pressure.
The bench testing demonstrates that the Endocuff design combines some of the benefits of both being a slim cylindrical device (like the Olympus product) and being able to stabilise and view the mucosa effectively on a greater diameter (as does the Fujinon balloon) but within the one product.
The design of the device is similar in length and is cylindrical in shape. Like both types of predicate devices, flexible polymers are the means for attachment/retention to the distal end of an endoscope.
The device contacts the patient in the same way and for the same period of time however they are made from different materials and are sterilised (where appropriate) using different methods.
The performance data showed that the sterilisation method selected (Arc EndoCuff is irradiated and the D-201 Series is Ethylene Oxide sterilised K984358) has not introduced any additional risks and the patient contacting materials have been tested for biocompatibility with reports demonstrating no negatives in safety or effectiveness
The bench testing has demonstrated that the device does not introduce any additional risks when undertaking endoscopic therapy and meeting the intended use.
Conclusion
After a review of the bench testing, it is concluded that the Arc EndoCuff is as safe and effective as the predicate devices for facilitating endoscopic therapy.
There are a few minor technological differences, in both materials used and the design. However the bio-compatibility testing shows that no additional risks are introduced from the materials used, and the performance testing demonstrates that there are no design weaknesses that could affect safety or effectiveness. There are no new indications for use and therefore by following the FDA 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" decision making process,
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/HowtoMarketYourD evice/PremarketSubmissions/PremarketNotification510k/ucm134783.htm
it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
