AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for several series of surgical staplers and reloads (LS Series Linear Stapler, CLC Series Curved Linear Cutter, LC Series Linear Cutter, and ELC Series Endoscopic Linear Cutter). The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.

The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context are tied to non-clinical testing performed to show substantial equivalence. The document summarizes performance testing and other evaluations rather than a clinical study with human patients or an AI algorithm's performance.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative sense for each parameter, but rather compares the proposed device's characteristics and performance to that of a predicate device. The implicit acceptance criterion is that the proposed device must perform "the same" or "similarly" to the predicate device in aspects deemed critical for safety and effectiveness, and any differences must not affect safety and effectiveness.

The non-clinical tests conducted include:

  • Performance Testing: Physical Specification, Closed Staple Height Dimensions, Pressure Resistance Evaluation, Maximum Tensile Strength of Staple Line Repair, and Force Required to Fire Stapler.
  • Endotoxin Limit
  • Package Integrity: Dye penetration tests and seal strength test.
  • Shelf Life

Here's a table combining the general performance parameters across the different proposed devices, with the understanding that "Same" implies meeting the implicit acceptance criteria of being equivalent to the predicate device. Where specific values are given for the Proposed Device and "Same" or "Similar" for the Predicate, it means the proposed device meets that value and is considered acceptable in comparison to the predicate.

The study that proves the device meets (or is substantially equivalent to) these criteria is the "Non-Clinical Test Conclusion" section, which states: "Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device."

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

The document specifies "Non clinical tests were conducted," including "Performance Testing, including Physical Specification, Closed Staple Height Dimensions, Pressure Resistance Evaluation, Maximum Tensile Strength of Staple Line Repair and Force Required to Fire Stapler." It also mentions "Endotoxin Limit," "Package Integrity," and "Shelf Life" tests.

The exact sample sizes for these non-clinical tests are not explicitly stated in the provided text. The data provenance is also not explicitly detailed, but it would have been generated internally by the manufacturer, Touchstone International Medical Science Co., Ltd., likely from their manufacturing and testing facilities. These are generally prospective tests conducted on manufactured devices/lots.

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

This is a non-clinical device submission for surgical staples and cutters. The "ground truth" in this context is established by engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., ASTM F 67-06 for titanium), and performance measurements against those specifications and the predicate device's known performance. There were no human experts establishing a "ground truth" in a diagnostic or clinical sense. The evaluation of test results would be performed by engineers and quality control personnel.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. As this is a non-clinical device test for engineering specifications, there is no "adjudication method" involving multiple human readers as would be seen in clinical or image-based AI studies. The data would be analyzed against predetermined engineering specifications and comparison data from the predicate device.

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 submission is for surgical stapling devices, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or evaluation of human reader improvement with AI assistance was performed.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for this device evaluation is based on:

  • Engineering specifications and design requirements: For parameters like dimensions, materials, and mechanical properties.
  • International/Industry Standards: Such as ASTM F 67-06 for titanium.
  • Comparison to predicate device performance: The "Same" or "Similar" designations in the comparison tables imply that the predicate device's established performance serves as a benchmark for the proposed device.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm, so there is no training set.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm, so there is no training set or ground truth establishment for one.

Dear Mr. Qiao:

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
