Intended Use

The Fujifilm Double Balloon Endoscopes are intended for the upper and lower digestive tracts. Specifically, for the observation, diagnosis, and endoscopic treatment of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.

Device Description

The Fujifilm Double Balloon Endoscopes, Models EN-530T and EN-580T and related accessories consist of double balloon endoscopes (models EN-530T and EN-580T), a hood (model DH-17EN), a balloon (model BS-2), an over-tube (model TS-13140), and a balloon controller (model PB-20).

The endoscopes are comprised of three general sections; an operation section, an insertion portion and an umbilicus. The operation section controls the angulation (up/down/left/right) of the distal end of the endoscope. The insertion contains glass fiber bundles, several channels and a charged couple device (CCD) image sensor. The glass fiber bundles allow light to travel through the endoscope and emit light from the tip of the insertion portion to illuminate the gastrointestinal cavity. This provides adequate light to the CCD image sensor to capture an image and display it on the monitor. The endoscope also contains several channels such as an air/water channel, a suction channel, a balloon channel and a forceps channel. The balloon controller is used to inflate or deflate the balloons on the distal end of the endoscope and on the over-tube through the balloon channel. The forceps channel is used to introduce endoscope accessories such as biopsy forceps for endoscopic procedures. The umbilicus section consists of electronic components needed to operate the endoscope when plugged to the video processor and the light source. The subject models are used in combination with Fujifilm's video processor, light source and peripheral devices (water tank, endoscope accessories, monitor, printer, DVD recorder, electrosurgical instruments, foot switch, and cart). The hood is an optional accessory that is attached to the distal end of the endoscopes and is intended to maintain the field of view during the endoscopic procedure.

The minor modifications to the endoscopes were made for the purpose of overall product enhancement and general technological advancement.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary describes an endoscopic device, and as such, it does not fit the typical format for AI/ML device evaluations. Therefore, many of the requested bullet points, such as MRMC studies, effect size, and specific ground truth details for AI models, are not applicable.

However, based on the provided document, I can extract the following information about the device's performance evaluation against established criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document lists various performance specifications that were tested, comparing the subject devices (EN-530T and EN-580T) to predicate devices (EN-450P5/20 and EC-450BI5). The statement "Subject devices met performance specifications of the following additional testing" implies that the new devices achieved acceptable performance for each listed criterion.

Additional Performance Tests for which "Subject devices met performance specifications":

  • Time for inflation
  • Operating pressure
  • Frictional resistance
  • Bending capability
  • Rate of air supply
  • Rate of water supply
  • Rate of suction
  • Viewing direction
  • Pump air feed pressure
  • Pump air evacuation pressure
  • Pump air flow rate

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

The document states that "Bench testing data demonstrated that the subject endoscopes have substantially equivalent performance to the predicates." However, it does not specify the sample size for this bench testing.
The data provenance is internal bench testing conducted by the manufacturer, Fujifilm Medical Systems, U.S.A., Inc. It is retrospective in the sense that it's testing against established specifications.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The performance tests appear to be objective measurements based on engineering and performance specifications, rather than expert interpretation of images or clinical outcomes.

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

This information is not provided and is generally not applicable to bench testing of endoscopic devices which relies on objective measurements against engineering specifications.

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:

This is not applicable as the device is an endoscope and not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic tool that assists human readers.

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

This is not applicable as the device is an endoscope and not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

The "ground truth" for the performance specifications is based on pre-defined engineering and functional specifications and measurements as outlined by relevant consensus standards (e.g., ISO 8600 series) and the manufacturer's internal criteria. For example, resolution is measured by recognizing a pitch chart at a specific distance.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set in that context.

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

This is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.
