AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information, based on the provided document. It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary for medical devices, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a novel clinical study with explicit acceptance criteria for performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity.

The provided documents describe two devices:

  1. ON-Q EchoSpark Echogenic Catheter** (K161232)
  2. ON-Q T-bloc Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit** (K161232)

Both devices reuse part of the same summary. The information provided heavily emphasizes comparison to predicate devices and adherence to standards, rather than defining specific performance metrics against clinical ground truth.


For the ON-Q EchoSpark Echogenic Catheter (K161232):**

The acceptance criteria here are primarily about demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device (ON-Q* Pain Relief System, QuikBloc* Over-the-Needle Catheter Set, K143164) and compliance with relevant performance standards and biocompatibility requirements. There are no explicit quantitative performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity for the echogenic catheter's visibility that are stated as acceptance criteria.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not describe a clinical "test set" in the sense of patient data for evaluating diagnostic performance. The testing described is primarily engineering performance testing (e.g., against ISO standards, biocompatibility).

  • Sample Size: Not specified for any clinical or image-based test set, as such a study is not detailed. For engineering tests, the sample sizes would be described within the individual test protocols (e.g., number of catheters tested for tensile strength, number of animals in biocompatibility).
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable for a clinical test set from this document. The engineering tests likely originate from the manufacturer's labs.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. No clinical test set with human-established ground truth is described.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No clinical test set with expert adjudication is described.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned. The device is a physical medical device (catheter) for drug delivery, not an AI diagnostic algorithm. The primary "improvement" is the echogenic tip for better visibility under ultrasound, which is a design feature rather than an AI-driven enhancement.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
Not applicable. The device is a physical catheter, not a standalone algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" used for this device's acceptance is based on adherence to recognized international and national standards for medical devices (ISO, ASTM, EN), biocompatibility testing results, and the safety and performance characteristics of its predicate device. For the "echogenic" attribute, the ground truth would be the physical property of being visible under ultrasound, demonstrated through product design and potentially in vitro/in vivo bench testing.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm being trained.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.


For the ON-Q T-bloc Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit (K161232):**

Similar to the individual catheter, the acceptance criteria are predominantly about demonstrating substantial equivalence to its predicate device (Peripheral Nerve Block Tray, K073187) and compliance with relevant standards. The key distinguishing feature is the inclusion of the new Echogenic Catheter.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Overall Summary regarding AI/Software Performance:

The provided documents are for physical medical devices (an anesthesia catheter and a nerve block kit). They do not describe an AI or software device, nor do they detail clinical studies with human readers or AI algorithms for diagnostic performance. Therefore, many of the requested points related to AI performance metrics, training/test sets, expert ground truth, and reader studies are not applicable to this submission. The focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence in terms of intended use, technology, materials, and compliance with general device safety and performance standards.

The emblem contains two stylized shapes, one white and one green, set against a dark blue background. The word "HALYARD" is written in a bold, sans-serif font, with each letter in dark blue.

The Indications for Use statements of the subject and predicate devices are the same (i.e., both are intended for regional anesthesia and pain management) except for the order in which the routes of administration are listed, additional specificity regarding indicated patient population, and the predicate includes a contraindication for use of the epidural space. The subject device does not contain a needle; therefore, the predicate contraindication is not applicable to this device. The listed order of routes of administration, additional specificity regarding indicated patient population, and removal of the non-applicable contraindication are not critical to the intended therapeutic or surgical use of the device and do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device when used as labeled.

Based on the design, labeling, and results of testing, the proposed new CONCLUSION: Echogenic Catheter does not raise any different questions of safety or effectiveness. The device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the predicate. The Echogenic Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate ON-Q* QuikBloc* Over-the-Needle Catheter Set.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGIES: The technological characteristics, instructions for use, construction, and components of the ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device, Peripheral Nerve Block Tray cleared under K073187. The same sterilization method, fundamental technology, packaging, assembly and labeling will be used. The distinguishing feature of the ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit is the Echogenic Catheter which will replace the existing Epimed Spirol® Catheter found in the predicate tray. The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Table 5.1 Tray comparison, outlines the differences in the predicate and subject devices.

TABLE 5.1 Kit Comparison

The Indications for Use statements of the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use (i.e., both are intended for regional anesthesia and pain management); however, the subject device indications for use has been expanded to identify the routes of administration and inclusion of the indicated patient population. The identification of the routes of administration and inclusion of the indicated patient population are not critical to the intended therapeutic or surgical use of the device and do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device when used as labeled.

Conclusion: The ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Sets & Tray have substantially equivalent Indications for use, sterilization methods, packaging, and kit components as the predicate device, Peripheral Nerve Block Tray (K073187). The design enhancements of the subject device catheter raises no different questions of safety and effectiveness. The device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate.
