AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Sonopulse Compact 1MHz and Sonopulse Compact 3MHz therapeutic ultrasound devices. It describes the devices' characteristics and compares them to a predicate device (Sonicator Plus 930). The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not to prove that the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.

Therefore, the document does not include information on acceptance criteria, reported device performance against those criteria, or a study design as typically associated with a clinical trial to prove device efficacy or safety.

Instead, the "testing results" mentioned in the document refer to non-clinical testing to ensure the device meets established safety and performance standards for medical electrical equipment.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, highlighting what is not available:

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

    • Not available. The document does not specify quantitative clinical acceptance criteria (e.g., a certain percentage reduction in pain, or specific range of motion improvement) or report device performance against such criteria. The "testing results" refer to compliance with IEC standards for safety and general performance.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Not applicable. The document describes non-clinical testing (IEC standards compliance), not a clinical trial with a "test set" of patients.
  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. This information pertains to studies where expert opinion is used to establish ground truth for clinical outcomes, which is not described in this document.
  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    • Not applicable.
  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 is a therapeutic ultrasound device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    • Not applicable. This refers to AI algorithms, which are not the subject of this submission.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • Not applicable for clinical ground truth. The "truth" in this context is whether the device physically performs according to established engineering and safety standards (e.g., electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, ultrasonic output parameters).
  8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. No machine learning or AI "training set" is mentioned or relevant to this submission.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    • Not applicable. No machine learning or AI "training set" is mentioned or relevant to this submission.

Summary of available information (Non-Clinical Testing):

The document provides information about non-clinical testing to demonstrate the safety and essential performance of the device in compliance with international standards.

  • Study Type: Non-clinical testing for compliance with IEC standards.
