AI/ML Overview

The provided document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing (K160022), primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for a complex diagnostic or AI-driven medical device.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of clinical performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC) for an AI device is not applicable to this document. This submission details the physical device's characteristics, manufacturing, and basic performance features like biocompatibility and antibacterial activity.

However, I can extract the relevant information that is presented in the document concerning how this medical device demonstrates its intended function and safety.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, addressing your points where possible and noting when information is N/A:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (as demonstrated for this type of device):

Study Details (Relevant to this device type):

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of a "test set" for clinical performance. The studies mentioned (biocompatibility, antibacterial activity) would have involved specific sample sizes as per the respective ISO and AATCC standards. These are typically in vitro or animal tests, not large patient cohorts.
    • Data Provenance: The studies are in vitro (e.g., antibacterial) and in vivo (biocompatibility animal studies or in vitro cell-based tests referenced by ISO standards). The document does not specify the country of origin for the data generation, but the manufacturer is Huizhou Foryou Medical Devices Co., Ltd. from P.R. China. The studies are not described as retrospective or prospective clinical studies on human patients for efficacy, but rather laboratory-based performance and safety testing.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • N/A. This information is not relevant or provided for this type of device submission. Ground truth, in the context of diagnostic AI, refers to expert consensus on disease presence/absence. For a wound dressing, ground truth is established through validated laboratory methods and standardized biocompatibility testing protocols, not by expert reads of images.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • N/A. Not applicable, as this is not a diagnostic device involving human interpretation of clinical data requiring adjudication.
  4. 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:

    • N/A. Not applicable. MRMC studies are for diagnostic devices, especially those that assist human readers. This is a medical dressing.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • N/A. Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic device.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Ground Truth: For biocompatibility, ground truth is established by the results of standardized tests against ISO criteria (e.g., cell viability for cytotoxicity, skin reaction in animal models for irritation). For antibacterial activity, ground truth is based on quantitative microbial reduction against a control, as per the specified AATCC method. This is laboratory-derived ground truth, not clinical outcomes in patients.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • N/A. Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning/AI device.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • N/A. Not applicable. There is no "training set."

Summary of Device Rationale for Acceptance:

The acceptance of the LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing (K160022) by the FDA is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices (Mepilex Border Ag Dressing (K100029) and LUOFUCON® Silver PU Antibacterial Foam Dressing (K140954)). This is achieved by showing that the subject device has:

  • Similar intended use, design, and materials to the predicates.
  • Comparable performance characteristics, particularly in terms of in vitro antibacterial preservative activity (meeting the ">4 log reduction for seven days for all six bacteria" criterion) and duration (seven days).
  • Demonstrated biocompatibility (passing ISO 10993-5, -10, and -11 for cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, and systematic toxicity).
  • Validated sterilization process (EO in accordance with ISO 11135: 2014).

The submission argues that any minor differences (e.g., sterilization method, presence of a silicone layer) do not impact the device's safety or effectiveness compared to the predicates. The studies mentioned are primarily laboratory-based performance tests and biocompatibility assessments, not clinical trials on patient populations.

Table 5-1 Comparison of Intended Use, Design and Material

{7}------------------------------------------------

LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing and its predicate devices (K100029K140945) utilize silver compound as the antibacterial preservative agent, and utilize polyurethane foam for the exudates absorption and wound management. One difference between subject device and predicate device 1(K100029) is that the predicate device has added a super polyacrylate absorbent fibers used to enhance the product fluid absorption performance. LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing is modified from LUOFUCON® Silver PU Antibacterial Foam Dressing (K140945) which had no silicone wound contact layer and sterilized with Irradiation. These differences do not impact the safety and efficacy of our subject devices, because their functions have no change.

Therefore, LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing and its predicate devices are made from similar materials, utilize same antibacterial preservative mechanism, and have similar intended use.

Table 5-2 Comparison of Biocompatibility and Performance Testing

LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag Foam Dressing meets biocompatibility requirements per ISO 10993-5, ISO10993-10, and ISO 10993-11. It's physical and performance meets the requirements of its pre-defined acceptance criteria and intended use. All dressings are sterilized and sold after sterilization by EO using conditions validated following ISO 11135: 2014.

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

Modified AATCC 100-2004 was used to evaluate the antibacterial preservative activity of the subject device. Predicate Device 1 chooses the ASTM E2149-01 as the test method. Both the subject device and predicate devices can get antibacterial preservative duration of seven days.

Therefore, the performance results are comparable to the predicate devices when the dressings are used for antibacterial preservative purpose for seven days. The product is safe and effective for its intended use.

Substantial Equivalent Statement

Based on the comparison of intended use, design, materials, and performance, the subject device, LUOFUCON® Silicone Ag foam dressing, is determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate devices, Mepilex Border Ag Foam Dressing (K100029) and LUOFUCON® Silver PU Antibacterial Foam Dressing (K140954), in respect of safety and effectiveness.
