Transonic Systems' BLF22 and BLF22A tissue perfusion monitors are intended for use in the measurement of microvascular perfusion.
The BLF22 (single-channel) Tissue Perfusion Monitor reports Flow, Mass or Velocity on its front panel digital display. Housed in a small metal case, the Monitor is equipped with a convenient multi-position handle/stand. It also features: rear panel analog outputs for Flow/Mass/Velocity in 0 - 10 Volts DC; and a USB computer interface.
The BLF22A (single-channel + Indicator Tone) Tissue Perfusion Monitor incorporates all the functionality of the BLF22, plus adjustable Low Flow Indicator Tone circuitry. This will sound an audio signal when tissue perfusion flow drops below a preset level.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Transonic Tissue Perfusion Monitors (Models BLF22 and BLF22A). It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the way typically expected for an AI/ML medical device. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench testing and electrical safety testing.
Therefore, many of the requested sections (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document, as they relate to studies for AI/ML device performance validation.
Here's a summary of the information that can be extracted, and an explanation for what cannot:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a quantitative manner. The performance testing is described qualitatively as demonstrating "functional requirement specifications" and meeting "all required release specifications."
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Functional requirement specifications (including flow values and user messages) | Demonstrated |
| Compliance with electrical safety standard IEC 60601-1 | Complied |
| Measurement of volume flow within specified full range and accuracy (for probe/monitor combination) | Tested and met |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
Not applicable. The document describes "bench studies" and "testing" but does not specify a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML model or a sample size of patient data. The testing appears to be hardware-focused, evaluating the device's functional and electrical properties.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
Not applicable. Ground truth establishment by experts is not described, as the performance testing focused on the device's physical and electrical functioning, not diagnostic accuracy based on expert interpretation of data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No adjudication method is described.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench and electrical safety testing, not assessing human reader improvement with AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a monitor measuring microvascular perfusion, not an AI algorithm, so the concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm is not relevant here. The device itself is standalone in its function as a measurement tool.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance testing would be the true physical measurements of flow, mass, and velocity under controlled conditions, and compliance with electrical safety standards. This is inherent in bench testing and refers to accurately calibrated equipment and established safety protocols.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This document describes a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as no training set for an AI/ML algorithm is mentioned.

Dear Mr. Klementowski:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

Device Description:
The BLF22 (single-channel) Tissue Perfusion Monitor reports Flow, Mass or Velocity on its front panel digital display. Housed in a small metal case, the Monitor is equipped with a convenient multi-position handle/stand. It also features: rear panel analog outputs for Flow/Mass/Velocity in 0 - 10 Volts DC; and a USB computer interface.
The BLF22A (single-channel + Indicator Tone) Tissue Perfusion Monitor incorporates all the functionality of the BLF22, plus adjustable Low Flow Indicator Tone circuitry. This will sound an audio signal when tissue perfusion flow drops below a preset level.
Models:
Transonic Systems Laser Doppler BLF22 Series monitors consist of the following model numbers: BLF22 and BLF22A.
Indications for Use (Prescription Device):
Transonic Systems' BLF22 and BLF22A tissue perfusion monitors are intended for use in the measurement of microvascular perfusion.
Substantial Equivalence:
The Transonic BLF22 and BLF22A Monitors are similar in materials, form, and operating principle to the ALF21 Laser Flowmeter in K903633. The BLF22 and BLF22A monitors have

K140740
the same principle of operation and electronics design. The case and circuit has been updated to utilize alarm electronics, clinical power supply, and poser entry module inside the case.
Performance Testing:
Bench studies demonstrated the functional requirement specifications of the BLF22A including flow values and messages to user.
Electrical safety testing was conducted and the BLF22/ BLF22A comply with IEC 60601-1.
The product is tested and must meet all required release specifications before distribution. Testing is completed for the tissue perfusion probe/monitor combination demonstrating the volume flow is measured within the specified full range and accuracy.
Animal and clinical testing was not required to support substantial equivalence.
The successful testing demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of the BLF22 and BLF22A Tissue Perfusion Monitors when used for the defined indications for use.
Conclusion:
The sponsor believes that the BLF22 and BLF22A tissue perfusion monitoring systems utilize similar technology as the predicate K903633 device. The sponsor has provided technical performance specifications and testing data. This information demonstrates that the devices do not raise new types of questions regarding safety or effectiveness when compared to the K903633 device and when used for the indications for use provided above. The sponsor thus concludes that the BLF22 and BLF22A devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate K903633 ALF21 device.
