AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the "CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a standalone study with defined metrics for the device itself.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them, particularly for AI/algorithm performance, cannot be fully extracted from this document in the way it would for a software device with performance claims. The document is primarily a comparison against existing hardware devices.

However, I can provide the information available that most closely aligns with your request, focusing on the verification testing performed.

Summary of Device and its Purpose:

The "CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet" combines a Central Venous Catheter (CG+ Arrow JACC) with a Vascular Positioning System (VPS) Stylet. The VPS Stylet, used with a console, guides the catheter to the desired location (lower third of the SVC or cavo-atrial junction) using Doppler and intravascular electrocardiogram (ivECG) signals.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As this document is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence of a hardware device (catheter and stylet), it does not present acceptance criteria in the typical format of a standalone performance study for an AI/algorithm, with metrics like AUC, sensitivity, or specificity. Instead, it describes verification testing performed to ensure the device meets engineering and safety specifications, demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices.

The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the need for the device to perform "the same" or comparably to its predicates in various tests. The "reported device performance" is a statement that these tests were performed and the device passed, leading to the conclusion of substantial equivalence.

Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from testing)Reported Device Performance

- Simulated use insertion/removal (Force to remove stylet from catheter)- Testing performed.
- Post-insertion/removal catheter air and liquid leakage- Testing performed.
- Stylet electrical testing- Testing performed.
Overall (from "Conclusions" section):The results of the risk assessment and resultant testing performed have demonstrated that the proposed design and specification changes do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and therefore the subject device is considered substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices. This implies all tests were passed to demonstrate no new safety/effectiveness concerns.

No information is provided for the following points as they are generally related to AI/algorithm performance studies, which this document does not contain:

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
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)
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
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
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
8. The sample size for the training set
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document only states that "Antimicrobial efficacies were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo methods" for the Chlorag+ard technology on the catheter, but does not provide details on sample sizes, ground truth, or expert involvement for these specific tests. The VPS Stylet's function is described as providing "real-time catheter information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood) information," leading to a "Blue Bullseye" indicator, but no performance metrics for this guidance system itself are provided beyond acknowledging its indication and an alternative method for tip placement confirmation.
