AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Sapphire Infusion Pump (K161667). This submission is for modifications to a previously cleared device (K141389). Therefore, the study focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than a new device meeting specific acceptance criteria in a comparative effectiveness study.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided document:

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

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics in the traditional sense of a clinical trial or performance study for a novel device. Instead, it details that the modified device maintains substantial equivalence to its predicate device. The acceptance criteria are implicitly that the modified device's performance, especially for the new features/environments, should be comparable to or meet the safety and effectiveness standards of the predicate device and relevant industry standards.

The table in the document (pages 5-6) is a comparison between the Predicate Device (K141389) and the Subject Device (K161667), highlighting similarities and differences. The "Reported Device Performance" for the subject device is implied to be "Same" as the predicate for most attributes, or "Supported by literature and/or bench testing/validation" for differences.

Here's a restructured table based on the information provided, focusing on changes and how they meet criteria (implicitly, the criteria are "equivalent to predicate" or "validated"):

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (K161667)
Indications for Use: Expanded to include medical air transport.Validated through testing for the additional environment. Does not alter original indications or intended use.
Max Clinician Bolus: New maximum of 30 mL.Supported by literature and reference device (K111275 CADD®-Solis VIP).
Max Epidural Hourly Volume: New maximum of 60 mL.Supported by literature references.
Additional Lockbox Size (250mL): Introduction of new size.No new risks introduced.
Multi-pump mounting bracket: New accessory.Validated through bench testing.
Battery case: New accessory.Validated through bench testing.
New Cleaning and Disinfection Agent: Compatibility and effectiveness.Validated through a cleaning and disinfection validation protocol.
Software Enhancements: Functionality remains robust.Validated through software validation and verification testing; changes to user interface validated through human factors testing. No basic functionality changes.
Electrical Safety: Compliance with standards.Compliant with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-12 (Same as predicate).
Electromagnetic Compatibility: Compliance with standards.Compliant with IEC 60601-1-2 (Same as predicate).
Basic Functionality/Performance (e.g., accuracy, modes, alarms, mechanical specs): Remain equivalent to predicate."Same" as predicate device for all listed attributes (System delivery accuracy, Delivery Modes, Patient population, WiFi function, alarms, programming functions, infusion specifications, physical dimensions, power, and operating/storage environments).

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify discrete "sample sizes" in terms of number of patients or cases for the various validation tests. The testing described is primarily non-clinical bench testing, software verification/validation, and human factors evaluations. For these types of tests, sample size generally refers to the number of test units (pumps, accessories) or test runs. These details are not provided in the summary.

Data provenance: The testing was carried out by the manufacturer, Q Core Medical Ltd., in Netanya, ISRAEL. The studies are prospective as they are conducted to validate modifications to an existing device for regulatory submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not provided. The document details that some changes (e.g., maximum clinician bolus, maximum epidural hourly volume) are "supported by literature and a reference device." This implies reliance on established medical knowledge and previously cleared device specifications rather than new expert consensus for ground truth on these specific parameters for the current submission. For human factors testing, experts (e.g., clinicians) would typically be involved, but their number and qualifications are not specified.

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

This information is not applicable and therefore not provided, as the studies described are primarily technical performance validations and verifications, not clinical trials requiring independent expert adjudication of diagnostic outcomes.

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

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This is an infusion pump, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging device. The concept of "human readers improving with AI assistance" is not relevant to this device.

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

This concept is not directly applicable to an infusion pump. The device itself is a "standalone" algorithmic system in the sense that it performs its infusion functions based on its programming. The software verification and validation activities essentially cover the "standalone" performance of the algorithm without human intervention in the infusion process itself. Human factors testing focuses on the human-device interface and user interaction.

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

The "ground truth" for this device's validation is primarily based on:

  • Engineering specifications and design requirements: For pump accuracy, delivery modes, alarm thresholds, physical characteristics, and material compatibility.
  • Industry standards: IEC 60601-1 (Electrical Safety), IEC 60601-1-12 (Electrical Safety in medical environment), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC testing).
  • Regulatory guidance: FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.
  • Literature references: For increased bolus volumes and hourly epidural volumes.
  • Predicate device's established performance: The primary "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is the safety and effectiveness profile of the K141389 Sapphire Infusion Pump.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not Applicable. As described, this is a modification to an existing infusion pump, and the studies mentioned are verification and validation activities for hardware, software, and changes in use environment. There is no mention of "training sets" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithm development, which is typically where such terminology applies.

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

Not Applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning model mentioned in the document.

The indication for use statement is identical to the predicate device, K141389, with the exception of the additional use environment - ar transport. The addition of pre-hospital medical air transport does not alter the original indications for use or the intended use described above. The change indicates an additional environment where the device can be used and the testing performed supports this additional environment.

The increases in the maximum clinical bolus and maximum epidural hourly volume are supported through a reference device, CADD®-Solis VIP Ambulatory Infusion Pump (K111275) and extensive literature references. The additional size lockbox (250) does not introduce any new risks. The additional accessories, multi-pump mountain bracket and battery case, are supported through validation and verification testing.

Other modifications to the Sapphire Infusion Pump include an additional cleaning and disinfection agent and minor software changes. The additional cleaning and disinfection agent was validated through a cleaning and disinfection validation protocol. The software modifications do not influence the basic functionality of the device and were validated through software validation and verification testing. Changes to the software which impacted the user interface were validated through human factors testing.
