AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe family and its accessories, and outlines the testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of diagnostic performance. Therefore, I cannot extract information related to sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details as these are not relevant to this type of device submission.

However, I can provide the acceptance criteria and confirmed performance based on the engineering and functional testing described in the document.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The device performance is demonstrated through various tests designed to confirm compliance with ISO standards and other design specifications. The document states that the DASH 3™ Syringe device family and its accessories "met all acceptance criteria, as described in Section 17." The table below summarizes the listed tests, which serve as the acceptance criteria, and the reported outcome.

Details of the Study:

The studies conducted are primarily engineering and functional bench tests, and risk assessments.

  • Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each test. The data provenance is implied to be from internal testing conducted by the manufacturer, Intervene Group Limited, likely in the UK, given the address. The studies are prospective in the sense that they were conducted for the purpose of this 510(k) submission.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for these types of engineering tests is typically defined by adherence to published international standards (e.g., ISO) and the device's design specifications, not by expert consensus on observational data.
  • Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. Performance is measured against predefined objective standards and specifications.
  • 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/diagnostic device.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an AI/diagnostic device.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The "ground truth" for these tests is the adherence to the requirements outlined in the cited ISO standards (ISO 80369-3, ISO 80369-20, ISO 7886-1, Draft ISO 20695) and the internal design specifications of the device.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not a machine learning device; therefore, there is no "training set."
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In conclusion, the study supporting the device's substantial equivalence consists of a series of bench tests and assessments confirming that the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe family and its accessories meet established engineering and performance standards, thereby demonstrating that they perform as intended and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate devices.

{7}------------------------------------------------

5.5 Product Description

The DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe device family is a Single Use, in-hospital and home care (DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe, DASH 3TM Eccentric ENFit Syringe, DASH 3TM ENFit Low Dose Tip Syringe) device.

It is provided in sizes from 1 mL to 100 mL. The device incorporates a female ENFit connector for connection to an enteral access device with a male ENFit port specified in ISO 80369-3. The Low Dose Tip contains the low dose design feature specified in (Draft) ISO 20695.

The DASH 3TM ENFit accessories are designed to be compatible with ENFit connector devices. The DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe Caps fit any size of the Single Use ENFit Syringes (DASH 3™), which allows the advance preparation and secure storage and transport of medication/fluids or nutritional formula.

5.6 Substantial Equivalence

The indications for use for the (primary) predicate and reference devices are substantially equivalent to the proposed indications for use for the DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe, DASH 3TM Eccentric ENFit Syringe, DASH 3TM ENFit Low Dose Tip Syringe and DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe Cap. Both device families have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. These differences can be from non-critical dimensions (i.e. barrel wings, plunger dimension), additional sizes (i.e. 100ml Syringe), the color of the devices and packaging arrangements. Thus, the DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe device family and accessories are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.

5.7 Testing in Support of Substantial Equivalence Determination

All necessary bench testing was conducted on the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe, DASH 3™ Eccentric ENFit Syringe, DASH 3™ ENFit Low Dose Tip Syringe and DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe Cap to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the (primary) predicate and reference devices. Testing included biocompatibility, sterilization validation, shipping and packaging, accelerated aging, and design verification testing. Design verification testing included the following:

  • Visual inspection
  • Dimensional verification
  • Physical testing

Performance testing was conducted to confirm compliance to the design specifications of ISO 80369-3, and also with reference to Draft ISO 20695 for the low dose tip; all functions have been verified to operate as designed. The DASH 3TM Syringe device

{8}------------------------------------------------

Tests Defined in ISO 80369-3 and 80369-20 for ENFit Connectors

Dimensional analysis was conducted for critical dimensions of the DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe device family and its accessories (with ENFit connectors), in accordance with the criteria in ISO 80369-3.

Device Verification Testing for the piston syringe was conducted in accordance with ISO 7886-1. This includes:

  • Lubricant. .
  • . Limits of extractable metals,
  • . Limits for acidity/alkalinity,
  • . Capacity Tolerance (Graduated Scale),
  • . Dead Space
  • Air and liquid leakage Testing (Side Force/Axial Force.)

Biocompatibility testing has demonstrated that the DASH 3™ Syringe and its accessories meet the requirements for biocompatibility.

Stability testing evaluated the properties of the DASH 3™ Syringe and its accessories after accelerated aging to establish a 5-year shelf life for the syringes and a 3 to 5-year shelf life for the accessories and to confirm the strength and integrity characteristics of the sterile device packaging and the ability of the packaging to maintain a sterile barrier for the duration of the labeled shelf life.

The risk associated with misconnection of the ENFit connector has been assessed and the process captured in the following documents:

  • FMEA (Design, User, Process)
  • . Risk Management Report
  • . Enteral Connector Misconnection Assessment (As recommended in FDA Enteral Connector Guidance)

{9}------------------------------------------------

Additional testing for the Low Dose Syringe tip design includes:

  • . Low Dose Enteral Connector Misconnection Assessment (As recommended in FDA Enteral Connector Guidance)
  • . Usability Assessment for the Low Dose Syringe Tip Design
  • Low Dose Syringe Design Dose Accuracy Testing

The collective results of the testing demonstrate that the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe device family and accessories meet specifications and perform as intended. In addition, the collective bench testing demonstrates that the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe device family and accessories do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate or reference devices.

5.8 Conclusion

The DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe family and accessories have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The DASH 3TM ENFit Syringe family and accessories have been tested to ensure that they perform as intended and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. As such, the DASH 3™ ENFit Syringe device family and accessories are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
