The aspiration and infusion cannulae and needles are indicated for aesthetic body contouring and general tissue aspiration.
INEX Cannulae and Needles are used to remove fluid, soft tissue, and exudates and infusion, utilizing a hollow stainless tube and multiple tips, handle and attachment connectors that are disposable in configuration. They are used during general, plastic, and reconstructive procedures.
This FDA 510(k) summary for the INEX Cannulae and Needles does not contain details about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the way typically expected for an AI/CADe device submission.
Instead, this document is for a Class II medical device, specifically surgical cannulae and needles used for lipoplasty, and the approval pathway is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This means the device is being compared to an existing legally marketed device, and the focus is on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate.
Therefore, many of the requested categories (like sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of submission.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, addressing the requested information where possible and indicating when it's not applicable:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As this is a substantial equivalence determination for a physical medical device (cannulae and needles), there are no direct performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or FROC scores typically found in AI/CADe submissions. Instead, "acceptance criteria" are related to demonstrating similarity to a predicate device and compliance with general safety and performance standards.
| Acceptance Criteria (Demonstrated Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance/Comparison |
|---|---|
| Intended Use: Device is for aesthetic body contouring and general tissue aspiration. | The INEX Cannulae and Needles are substantially equivalent in function and intended use to the Black & Black Surgical, Inc. predicate device (K113795). Both are used for aesthetic body contouring and general tissue aspiration by means of aspiration and infiltration. |
| Design Characteristics: | |
| * Cannulae: Handle, Cannula tube, Tip | * INEX Cannula: Plastic Handle; Stainless Steel Cannula Tube; Stainless Steel Tip with eyelets (holes). |
| * Needles: Luer Hub, Needle Tip | * INEX Needle: Polypropylene Luer hub; Stainless Steel Cannula Tube; Stainless Steel Tip with eyelets (holes). |
| Material: Stainless steel for working parts, appropriate handle/hub material. | * INEX Cannula: Plastic Handle for single use. |
| * INEX Needle: Polypropylene Luer hub for single use. | |
| Function: Grip/hold, connect to aspiration/infusion source, provide length/strength, suction/infiltration | * INEX Cannula & Needle functions: To allow surgeon to grip/maneuver, connect to aspirator/wall suction/pump, provide length/strength, and provide suction/infiltration through eyelets. The function is the same as the predicate despite material differences for handle/luer hub. |
| Biocompatibility: Device materials must be biocompatible. | Biocompatibility testing per ISO-10993 demonstrated that the device is biocompatible. |
| Sterility: Supplied sterile. | INEX Cannula and Needle are supplied sterile for single use. |
| Contraindications/Warnings/Adverse Effects: No new safety or effectiveness questions raised. | No new safety or effectiveness concerns were raised compared to the predicate device. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Not Applicable. This is a substantial equivalence submission for a physical surgical instrument, not an AI/CADe device evaluated with a test set of data. The "test" involved comparing the design, materials, and intended use to a predicate device and performing biocompatibility testing. There is no "data set" in the context of an AI algorithm.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. There is no "test set" of an AI algorithm or images requiring expert ground truth in this submission.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not Applicable. No test set requiring adjudication in the context of AI was used.
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 physical surgical device, not an AI/CADe system designed to assist human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is irrelevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is a physical surgical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Not Applicable. In an AI context, ground truth refers to the true label of a data point. For this physical device, the "truth" is established by demonstrating that its design, materials, manufacturing process, and intended use conform to established standards and are substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, as well as passing biocompatibility tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI algorithm, there is no ground truth to establish for it.

Summary
The only difference between the Black Cannula and the INEX Cannula is the handle material. The Black and Black has an aluminum handle that can be autoclaved for multiple uses and the INEX Cannula has a plastic single use handle and is supplied sterile for single use. The two handles is the same which is to allow the surgeon to grip and maneuver the cannula and to connect the sterile tubing to an aspirator, wall suction, or pump.
The only difference between the Black needle and the INEX needle is the luer hub material. The Black and Black needle has a stainless steel luer hub that can be autoclaved for multiple uses and the INEX needle has a polypropylene single use luer hub and is supplied sterile for single use. The function of the same which is to allow the surgeon to join the needle to a handle and to connect the sterile tubing to an aspirator, wall suction, or pump.
§ 878.5040 Suction lipoplasty system.
(a)
Identification. A suction lipoplasty system is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered suction pump (containing a microbial filter on the exhaust and a microbial in-line filter in the connecting tubing between the collection bottle and the safety trap), collection bottle, cannula, and connecting tube. The microbial filters, tubing, collection bottle, and cannula must be capable of being changed between patients. The powered suction pump has a motor with a minimum of1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 29.9 inches of mercury, vacuum control valves to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauges, a single or double rotary vane (with or without oil), a single or double diaphragm, a single or double piston, and a safety trap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Consensus standards and labeling restrictions.
