Intended Use

The DMS Disposable Subdermal Needle Electrodes are intended for use with recording, monitoring equipment for the recording of biopotential signals including electroencephalograph (EEG), electromyograph (EMG) and nerve potential signals, and are intended for stimulation/recording with stimulation/recording equipment for electromyograph (EMG) and nerve potential signals.

Device Description

The DMS Disposable Subdermal Needle Electrodes are supplied sterile and intended for single use. This subdermal needle electrodes can be used to record the neurological and neurophysiological evoked potentials. The connector is provided with touch-proof and cannot be connected to an AC outlet. This connector is designed for connecting the recording or monitoring equipment for the recording of biopotential signals including electroencephalograph (EEG), electromyograph (EMG) and nerve potential signals, and are intended for stimulation/recording with stimulation/recording equipment for electromyograph (EMG) and nerve potential signals. The DMS Disposable Subdermal Needle Electrodes are supplied sterile.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the DMS Disposable Subdermal Needle Electrodes, formatted to answer your questions:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in terms of specific performance thresholds for each test (e.g., "stiffness must be X Newton-meters"). Instead, it lists the types of non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The implied acceptance criterion is that the device passes or meets the requirements of these standards and tests, demonstrating performance comparable to the predicate.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied: Pass Standard/Test)Reported Device Performance
Biocompatibility:
ISO 10993-5 (In vitro cytotoxicity tests)Compliant / Passed
ISO 10993-10 (Irritation and skin sensitization)Compliant / Passed
Performance Testing:
Stiffness TestCompliant / Passed
Breakage TestCompliant / Passed
Bond TestCompliant / Passed
Electrical Properties TestCompliant / Passed
Shelf-life Testing:
ASTM F1980-07:2011 (Accelerated aging)Compliant / Passed

Note: The document states that the proposed device was "found to be similar to predicate device with regard to design, function, and technical characteristics" and "presented the substantial equivalence," implying all tests were successfully passed and demonstrated equivalency.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not specify the sample sizes used for any of the non-clinical tests (biocompatibility, performance, shelf-life). These are typically laboratory tests performed on a limited number of device samples. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not mentioned, but given it's a 510(k) submission from "Daehan Medical Systems Co., Ltd." in "Republic of Korea," it's highly probable the testing was conducted in South Korea or by certified labs on behalf of the company. These are non-clinical, controlled laboratory studies, not human clinical trials, so the terms "retrospective" or "prospective" are not generally applicable in the same way they would be for patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable to the type of studies described. The "ground truth" here is based on standardized test methods and measurement results rather than expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes. The studies are non-clinical (biocompatibility, mechanical performance, electrical properties, shelf-life).

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

Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for expert consensus in clinical studies, particularly when interpreting ambiguous medical data. The tests performed here are objective laboratory measurements against established standards.

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

Not applicable. MRMC studies are clinical studies involving human readers (e.g., radiologists) evaluating cases, often with and without AI assistance, to assess diagnostic performance. This submission is for a medical device (subdermal needle electrodes) and focuses on non-clinical testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not AI algorithm performance.

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

Not applicable, as this device does not involve an AI algorithm.

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

The ground truth for the non-clinical tests is based on established industry standards and test methods. For example:

  • Biocompatibility: Ground truth is defined by the criteria within ISO 10993-5 (absence of cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (absence of irritation/sensitization).
  • Performance (Stiffness, Breakage, Bond, Electrical Properties): Ground truth is defined by the expected physical and electrical characteristics as determined by engineering specifications and comparative data to the predicate device.
  • Shelf-life: Ground truth is defined by the ability of the device and its packaging to maintain sterility and functional integrity after accelerated aging, conforming to ASTM F1980-07:2011.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm, and therefore does not have a "training set."

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

Not applicable.
