The systems are full-featured Track 3 ultrasound systems, primarily for general radiology use and specialized for OB/GYN with particular features for realtime 3D/4D acquisition. They consist of a mobile console with keyboard control panel; color LCD display, color video display and optional image storage and printing devices. They provide high performance ultrasound imaging and analysis and have comprehensive networking and DICOM capability. They utilize a variety of linear, curved linear, matrix phased array transducers including mechanical and electronic scanning transducers, which provide accurate realtime three dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the GE Healthcare Voluson P6 / Voluson P8 Ultrasound Systems. This type of submission generally focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting detailed clinical study results with acceptance criteria in the same way an AI-powered diagnostic device might.

Based on the document, here's an analysis of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This document does not contain a typical acceptance criteria table with corresponding device performance metrics for a diagnostic accuracy study. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the demonstration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and conformity to various electrical, safety, and performance standards.

The document discusses various operating modes and clinical applications for which the device and its transducers are indicated. The "performance" is implicitly tied to being equivalent to previously cleared devices which are presumed safe and effective for these applications.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)	Reported Device Performance (Implied)
Same fundamental scientific technology as predicate devices	Voluson P6 / Voluson P8 employs the same fundamental scientific technology as its predicate devices.
Substantially equivalent intended use as predicate devices	The Voluson P6 / Voluson P8 and predicate Voluson P Series systems have the same clinical intended use.
Substantially equivalent imaging capabilities as predicate devices	The Voluson P6 / Voluson P8 and predicate Voluson P Series systems have the same imaging modes.
Substantially equivalent technological characteristics as predicate devices	Transducers are identical or similar, with additions and removals noted for specific models; beam former changed to STB MLA4 (previously cleared).
Safety and effectiveness equivalent to predicate devices	Systems are manufactured with materials evaluated and found safe; acoustic power levels are below FDA limits; complies with approved electrical and physical safety standards and voluntary standards (AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, NEMA UD 3, ISO10993-1, NEMA UD 2, ISO14971, NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20).
Biocompatibility of patient contact materials	Transducer materials and other patient contact materials are biocompatible.
Similar capability in performing measurements, capturing digital images, reviewing and reporting studies	The Voluson P6 / Voluson P8 and predicate Voluson P Series systems have similar capability.
Added features (SIM card, GYN measurement tool) are previously cleared	SIM card (K142472) and IOTA LR2 model (K142472) were previously cleared.

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

The document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, Voluson P6 / Voluson P8, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."
Therefore, there is no test set sample size and no data provenance as defined for clinical performance evaluation. The evaluation was primarily based on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices.

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

Since no clinical studies were required or performed for this specific submission, no experts were used to establish ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As no clinical study was performed, no adjudication method was used.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its effect size

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The submission did not involve evaluating human readers with or without AI assistance.

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

No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This device is a general-purpose ultrasound system, not an AI-powered diagnostic algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

No ground truth was established in the context of a diagnostic performance study. The "truth" for this submission is based on demonstration of compliance with safety standards and equivalence to predicate devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that is trained on a dataset. Therefore, there is no training set sample size.

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

As this is not an AI/ML device, no ground truth was established for a training set.

In summary, the provided document describes a 510(k) submission for an ultrasound system focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to safety and performance standards, rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria and ground truth for an AI/ML powered device.
