Intended Use

The Hitachi Aloka Medical. Ltd. UST-5310 / UST-5311 transducers for use with the PROSOUND ALPHA6 Diagnostic Citrasound scanner are intended for use by trained personnel (doctor, sonographer, etc.) for the diagnostic ultrassund evaluation during Intra-operative and Intra-operative (neurosurgery) procedures.

The device is not indicated for Ophthalmic applications.

Device Description

Linear Array transducer

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for diagnostic ultrasound transducers (Hitachi Aloka Medical, Ltd. UST-5310 and UST-5311). This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting extensive clinical studies to prove novel performance benefits.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not present explicit acceptance criteria in terms of specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) that the device must meet, as would be common for AI/ML-based diagnostic devices. Instead, the acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.

The "performance" of the device is assessed by its technical comparability and safety.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (Summary from 510(k))
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate DeviceThe UST-5310 and UST-5311 are technically comparable and substantially equivalent to the currently marketed UST-534 & UST-536 Intraoperative transducers. Both are track 3 systems with the same fundamental and scientific technologies.
Safety- Evaluated for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning & disinfection effectiveness, electromagnetic compatibility, electrical, and mechanical safety. - Found to conform to applicable medical device safety standards. - Biocompatibility testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1. - Acoustic level below Track 3 FDA limits.
ManufacturingManufactured in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 820 Quality System Regulations.
TechnologySame essential technology for imaging, Doppler functions, and signal processing as predicate devices.
Modes of OperationSame modes of operation (B, M, PWD, CD, PowerFlow, and combinations).
Intended Use/IndicationsIndicated for diagnostic ultrasound imaging during Intra-operative and Intra-operative (neurosurgery) procedures, similar to predicate but with a difference in sterilization methodology (single-use sterile vs. reusable).
SterilizationDesigned to be sterilized via EtO. The subject device is supplied sterile, while the predicate is supplied non-sterile with instructions for cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.
MaterialsNew material: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, but all other materials previously cleared by FDA.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

No clinical test set or data provenance is mentioned. The submission explicitly states "Clinical testing: None required." This indicates that the regulatory pathway for these transducers did not require a clinical study with a test set of patient data, as the device is deemed substantially equivalent based on technical specifications and non-clinical testing.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable, as no clinical testing with a test set was required or performed for this submission.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical testing with a test set was required or performed.

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 device is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a hardware component (ultrasound transducer), not a standalone algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

Not applicable in the context of clinical performance. The "ground truth" for this submission revolves around technical and safety standards compliance and substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This is demonstrated through non-clinical testing (acoustic output, biocompatibility, electrical safety, etc.) as opposed to clinical outcomes or expert consensus on image interpretation.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a hardware device (ultrasound transducer), not an AI/ML system requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. No training set or associated ground truth establishment is mentioned or relevant for this type of device.

Dear Ms. Van Arsdale:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.
