Intended Use

The PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe is for use in ophthalmic surgery in cryopexy for retinal detachment, cyclo destructive procedures in refractory glaucoma, extraction of fragments within the vitreous cavity, cataraction, and cryo destruction of lash follicles for trichiasis.

Device Description

The PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe is a single use item used with cryopexy equipment. It produces an ice ball at the tip of the pencil allowing you to treat the detachment of the retina by welding the tissues together. The ice ball is the result of a specific gas released at a high pressure, N2O or CO2, allowing the welding of the tissues by burn.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on its own performance metrics. Therefore, many of the requested categories for a study proving device performance are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document directly.

Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted and a clear statement where information is not available within the provided text:

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

The document does not explicitly define acceptance criteria as a quantitative benchmark for the PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe's own performance (e.g., a specific ice ball size or temperature achieved in a defined time). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that its characteristics are identical to a legally marketed predicate device.

Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are implied to be "being identical to the predicate device in terms of intended use, design, materials used, mechanical safety, and performances." The "reported device performance" is then its similarity to the predicate.

Overall EquivalenceStrictly equivalent to predicate in design, materials, processing, and similar IFUThe PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe is fully identical to the predicate device in terms of intended use, design, materials used, mechanical safety and performances.

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

This document describes non-clinical bench testing, not a human-subject study with a "test set" in the context of clinical data. The non-clinical tests performed were:

  • Operation of adapters for single-use cryodes on different equipment.
  • EO residual measurement.
  • Pyrogenicity evaluation using the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay.

The sample sizes for these bench tests are not specified in the document. The data provenance is also not specified, though the manufacturer (PHAKOS) is based in France.

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)

Not applicable. This was a non-clinical bench study, not a study involving expert-established ground truth for diagnostic or interpretative performance.

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

Not applicable, as this was not a study requiring adjudication of expert opinions.

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. This is not an AI-assisted device, nor was an MRMC study performed.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (cryo probe), not an algorithm or AI system.

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

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by standardized laboratory methods and specifications (e.g., maximum allowable endotoxin levels for pyrogenicity, acceptable ranges for EO residuals, functional integrity during operation). The document states the device "meets the recommended maximum endotoxin level," which implies comparison against an established standard.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device and not a machine learning model.

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

Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device and not a machine learning model.


Summary of Key Findings from the Document:

The PHAKOS Disposable Retinal Cryo Probe underwent non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to its predicate device, the Keeler Cryomaster Probes. The "acceptance criteria" were primarily focused on demonstrating identical characteristics and performance to the predicate device in aspects like indications for use, disposable nature, cryogen type, freeze system, control mechanisms, construction materials, dimensions, and sterilization method.

Specific non-clinical tests included evaluating the operation of adapters, measuring EO residuals, and assessing pyrogenicity using the LAL assay, with the device reportedly meeting recommended maximum endotoxin levels. No clinical studies were performed for this 510(k) submission, and therefore, there are no details on clinical efficacy, human reader performance, or AI-related metrics.

Dear J.D. Webb:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
