THIS DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR COLON CLEANSING WHEN MEDICALLY INDICATED. SUCH AS BEFORE RADIOLOGICAL OR ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION.
The proposed device "Aqua Cleanse" is for colon cleansing when medically indicated such as before radiological or endoscopic examination. It introduces water at a comfortable temperature into the large intestine. It fills and empties water into and out of the colon thus cleansing it of its contents. The device is equipped with a pressure regulated safety system; a self-contained cleaning system, and flow regulator. lt is used with the accessory, disposable rectal speculum kits.
The associated disposable kit is intended to introduce water into the colon through a speculum inserted into the rectum to assist with the evacuation of the contents of the lower colon. This is a single-use only kit.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Aqua Cleanse" colonic irrigation system. As such, it does not contain the acceptance criteria or results from a study proving device performance in the manner typically associated with clinical trials of diagnostic or therapeutic devices.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (HC-1 Classic, K131852) through non-clinical testing and comparison of technological characteristics.
Therefore, many of the requested sections about clinical study design (sample size, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies) are not applicable to this submission.
Here's a breakdown based on the information available:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Bench Test Results) |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Safety | Maintain pressure within safe limits for a colonic irrigation system. | "Proved safety": Accurate pressure range. |
| Temperature Safety | Maintain temperature within a safe and comfortable range for colon cleansing. | "Proved safety": Accurate temperature range. |
| Electrical Safety | Compliance with relevant electrical safety standards. | "Correct operation": Compliant. |
| Leak Resistance | No leaks during operation. | "Correct operation": Leak resistant. |
| Functionality | Introduction, filling, and emptying of water into and out of the colon for cleansing. | "Correct operation": Per intended use. |
| Colon Hydrotherapy Treatment | Perform treatment in accordance with device performance specifications. | "Correct operation": Per specifications. |
Note: The document states that "Bench test results proved safety and effectiveness when testing for accurate pressure and temperature range." The specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., pressure range, temperature range) are not explicitly detailed in the summary provided.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
