The provided 510(k) summary for the B-K Medical Ultrasound Scanner Flex Focus 1202 focuses primarily on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than detailing a specific study to prove device performance against acceptance criteria. The document explicitly states:
"This submission introduces no new indications for use, modes, features or technologies relative to the predicate devices that require clinical testing. The clinical safety and effectiveness of ultrasound system with these characteristics are well accepted for both predicate and subject devices."
Therefore, it does not contain the information required to answer most of the questions about acceptance criteria and a specific study proving device performance. The submission relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices and the fact that its technological characteristics are comparable.
However, based on the document, we can extract some information:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document doesn't provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results from a dedicated study. Instead, it highlights that the device's technical specifications and intended use are comparable to legally marketed predicate devices.Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Equivalence) Reported Device Performance (Implied by Comparability) Compliance with medical device regulations Device is considered substantially equivalent Acoustic output limits Ispta ≤ 720 mW/cm² and MI ≤ 1.9 (Track 3, non ophthalmic); TI ≤ 6.0 Biocompatibility of patient contact materials Complies with ISO10993-1 Thermal, mechanical, and electrical safety Tested according to IEC 60601-1 Clinical measurement accuracy Described and accuracies provided in User Guide Intended use and indications for clinical applications Comparable to predicate devices, including new "Neonatal Cephalic" application considered the same as predicates for that application. -
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not applicable (N/A). The submission explicitly states that "no new indications for use, modes, features or technologies" required clinical testing. Therefore, there is no specific test set of cases or related data provenance information provided. -
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)
N/A. No specific test set requiring expert ground truth establishment was conducted. -
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
N/A. No specific test set requiring adjudication was conducted. -
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
N/A. This device is a diagnostic ultrasound system and does not involve AI assistance for human readers in the context of an MRMC study. The submission focuses on the system's inherent diagnostic capabilities as comparable to predicate devices. -
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
N/A. This is a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an algorithm being validated in a standalone manner. Its performance is intrinsically linked to human operation. -
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
N/A. No new clinical studies were performed that would require establishing a "ground truth" for novel features or diagnostic claims. The ground truth for ultrasound systems is implicitly established through long-standing clinical practice and the validation of predicate devices. -
The sample size for the training set
N/A. As this submission describes a diagnostic ultrasound system and not an AI/ML algorithm, there is no concept of a "training set" for the device's core functionality. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established
N/A. See explanation for point 8.

Dear Mr. Nielsen:
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.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the Ultrasound Scanner Flex Focus 1202, as described in your premarket notification:

§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.
(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.
