AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor, based on the provided text:

Important Note: The provided text is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed, standalone clinical study report. Therefore, some information, particularly regarding specifics like effect sizes for human reader studies or detailed ground truth establishment for training sets, is not present because these types of studies (e.g., MRMC studies with human readers, or specific details about training data for an AI algorithm) are not relevant to the evaluation of a mechanical endoscope reprocessor. The device fundamentally automates a physical process, not an interpretive one involving human readers or AI algorithms for diagnostic purposes.

These studies were conducted to support the substantial equivalence of the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor. The summary references prior clearances (K040883, K061889, K991487) which contained data supporting various aspects of the device's performance.

Here's the breakdown of other requested information:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • High-Level Disinfection (Simulated Use): Not explicitly stated, but "flexible endoscopes" were contaminated and tested. The data provenance is implied to be laboratory testing rather than real-world clinical data from a specific country.
  • Cleaning Efficacy (Simulated Use): Not explicitly stated, but "endoscopes" were contaminated. The data provenance is implied to be laboratory testing.
  • Sterility Testing (In-Use): "Endoscopes used in a clinical environment" were reprocessed. The exact number of endoscopes is not specified. Data provenance is "clinical environment," but specific country or retrospective/prospective nature is not detailed.
  • Biocompatibility: "An endoscope reprocessed in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor" was evaluated. Sample size is at least one endoscope, potentially more for statistical relevance but not specified. Data provenance is laboratory testing.
  • Material Compatibility: "Test articles" (materials commonly used in medical devices) were evaluated. The number of test articles is not specified. Data provenance is laboratory testing.
  • Cleaning Efficacy (Clinical In-Use): "Endoscopes used in clinical procedures" were processed. Number not specified. Data provenance is "clinical procedures."
  • Non-Inferiority Trial (Automated Wash vs. Manual Wash): Not explicitly stated, but implies a comparative study involving multiple endoscopes and conditions. Data provenance is laboratory/simulated environment.
  • High-Level Disinfection (In-Use, Contaminated Endoscopes): "Endoscopes" were contaminated. Number not specified. Data provenance is laboratory testing.

Overall Data Provenance: The studies appear to be a mix of simulated-use (laboratory-based) and in-use (clinical environment) testing. The country of origin for the data is not specified in the provided text.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This type of information is generally not applicable to the evaluation of an endoscope reprocessor. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established through objective, measurable laboratory tests (e.g., microbial reduction counts, residual protein/TOC levels, chemical concentration measurements) performed by microbiologists, chemists, and engineers, rather than through expert interpretation of images or clinical cases. Therefore, there were no "experts" in the sense of radiologists or other clinicians establishing ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable as the evaluation is based on objective measurements from laboratory and in-use tests, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI algorithms or diagnostic tools where human interpretation is involved. The EVOTECH® ECR is a mechanical cleaning and disinfecting device.

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

This is not applicable. The EVOTECH® ECR is not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance evaluation is inherently "standalone" in the sense that its efficacy for cleaning and disinfection is measured directly as a mechanical system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for these studies was primarily:

  • Microbiological Counts: For disinfection studies, the ground truth was the initial and final counts of specific microorganisms (e.g., Mycobacterium terrae) on the endoscopes, determined through standard microbiological assays.
  • Chemical/Biochemical Assays: For cleaning efficacy, the ground truth was the quantified level of residual soil (e.g., protein, total organic carbon) on the endoscope surfaces, measured using analytical chemistry techniques.
  • Sterility Testing: For sterility, the ground truth was the absence of microbial growth based on culturing methods.
  • Chemical Concentration Measurement: For disinfectant effectiveness, the ground truth included verifying minimum effective concentrations of the disinfectant.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable because the device is a mechanical reprocessor, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

2. PREDICATE DEVICES

  • . EVOTECH® Integrated Washer Disinfector (K082392, cleared November 13, 2008)

3. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

The EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor is a two-basin washer/disinfector utilizing an enzymatic detergent and a concentrated high-level disinfectant, CIDEX OPA Concentrate Solution. Both the detergent and high-level disinfectant are diluted in the system to in-use concentrations. The EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor is capable of cleaning endoscopes that have not been manually cleaned prior to placing in the system.

{4}------------------------------------------------

Endoscopes that have been qualified for processing in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor must go through manual bedside pre-cleaning according to SGNA and facility guidelines prior to being placed in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor for automated cleaning and/or high level disinfection. If automatic cleaning is not available or desired for the device by the user, the endoscope must also be manually cleaned by the user prior to being placed in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor.

After the endoscopes are connected to the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor, the detergent is sprayed onto the surface of the device, and pumped through the lumens of the device, at sufficient pressure levels to remove any soil present on or in the device.

The disinfectant is then mixed with incoming water, which is monitored to ensure that the water temperature is then sprayed onto the surface of the device, and pumped through the lumens of the device, at sufficient time and temperature to achieve high level disinfection of any microorganisms. The temperature is monitored to ensure operating parameters of 50°C are met. A sample of the diluted CIDEX OPA Concentrate solution is extracted to ensure minimum effective concentration levels have been achieved. Following disinfection, the endoscopes are rinsed by the machine and air pumped through the lumens to facilitate drying of the endoscope. If selected by the user, an alcohol flush cycle may also be run to facilitate drying of the endoscope. The endoscope may then be removed, dried and used. The onboard printer generates a cycle printout summarizing the cycle results for the user's records.

The machine has built in safety features which cancel the cycle and notify the user if parameters are not met. These notifications, their causes, and next steps for the user. are defined in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor User Guide.

7. SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS

The EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor is a washer/disinfector for use with an enzymatic detergent and the high-level disinfectant CIDEX® OPA Concentrate Solution at 50° with an exposure time of 5 min to achieve cleaning and high-level disinfection of flexible endoscopes.

The EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor was tested in K040883 using the standard array of tests defined in the FDA Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Automated Endoscope Washers, Washer / Disinfectors, and Disinfectors Intended for Use in Health Care Facilities, August, 1993.

For simulated use testing, the high level disinfectant indicated for use with the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor was tested for efficacy in a simulated use environment. A 6 Log10 reduction of Mycobacterium terrae was achieved when flexible endoscopes, contaminated with Mycobacterium terrae and artificial soil and were exposed to CIDEX OPA Concentrate In Use solution without cleaning. The diluted CIDEX® OPA Concentrate at an MEC of 0.055% OPA concentration at 50°C is effective against Mycobacterium terrae in artificial soil.

For in use testing, endoscopes used in a clinical environment were reprocessed in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor without manual cleaning. Sterility testing demonstrated no growth.

For biocompatibility, an endoscope reprocessed in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor was evaluated for residue levels. The analysis indicates that the level of OPA residual remaining on an endoscope is not likely to cause toxic effects in humans.

For material compatibility, the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor using CIDEX OPA Concentrate In-Use solution was evaluated for its effect on materials commonly used in medical devices. Multiple disinfection cycles over extended periods of time resulted in minimal effect on the test articles. The effects

{8}------------------------------------------------

seen were similar to those seen with the predicate device for the high level disinfectant - CIDEX OPA Solution K991487.

The EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor was further tested in K061889 to determine its ability to high level disinfect and clean endoscopes. Both simulated use and in-use studies were completed. In both instances, endoscopes were contaminated and then processed in the "wash only" cycle in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor. Residual soil was quantified for both protein and total organic carbon (TOC). In all instances the residuals were below the predefined limit of 8.5ug/cm².

Additionally, because the wash cycle is intended to eliminate the need for manual cleaning. studies were completed comparing the residual soil after manual cleaning according to the procedures of the Society for Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) and cleaning in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor. In a non-inferiority trial, the washing of endoscopes in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor was determined to be noninferior to washing of endoscopes following the SGNA procedure.

Endoscopes used in clinical procedures were processed through the "wash only" cycle of the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor and then extracted for residual organic material. Processing in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor reduced the residual protein and TOC in all channels and surfaces to less than the predefined acceptance criteria, indicating that the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor can clean clinically used endoscopes.

High-level disinfection of cleaned endoscopes was achieved. Endoscopes were contaminated with Mycobacterium terrae imbedded in soil. Soil was inoculated in channels and on the surfaces of endoscopes so that each endoscopes contained ≥8.5ug/cm² protein with >10' cfu/mL M. terrae. Endoscopes were disinfected in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor without manual or automated washing. After processing the contaminated endoscopes through the disinfect cycle only in the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor, there was a >10° reduction in M. terrae.

Further high level disinfection testing and quantitative tuberculocidal testing have been completed for this submission demonstrating effectiveness of the OPAC solution at 0.042% concentration in the presence of 5% fetal bovine serum organic soil load within 5 minutes at 50-52°C using CIDEX OPA-C solution.

8. OVERALL PERFORMANCE CONCLUSIONS

Data presented in this submission indicate that the EVOTECH® ECR Endoscope Cleaner & Reprocessor is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device.
