AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes information about the NSO Supplemental Instrument Trays and a new Flexible Reamer Tray, which is being evaluated for substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The information focuses on design, materials, and sterilization validation rather than on AI/ML device performance. Therefore, many of the requested points are not applicable.

Here's an analysis of the provided text against the requested criteria:

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

The document does not specify general "acceptance criteria" for the overall device in terms of diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, as it's not an AI/ML diagnostic device. Instead, it refers to validation criteria for sterilization and cleaning processes, which are listed in the tables below. The document explicitly states that the acceptance criteria for the drying time validation were met.

Acceptance Criteria (Dry Time Validation)Reported Device Performance
Autoclave data showing appropriate dwell time at 132°C (+3°C) for each full cycleMet
Confirmation of the absence of moisture on the trays and sterilization wrapMet
No more than 3% difference in weight prior to and after sterilizationMet

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 refers to "testing" and "validation" for sterilization and cleaning. However, it does not specify a numerical sample size for these tests in terms of how many trays were tested or the number of runs. It mentions "100 sterilization cycles" for material compatibility. The document also does not specify the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). Since this is a test for a physical medical device (instrument trays), the "test set" would refer to the physical trays and instruments subjected to the validation processes.

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 question is not applicable. The device is a physical instrument tray, not an AI/ML diagnostic product, so there is no "ground truth" to be established by experts in the context of diagnostic interpretation. Ground truth for sterilization efficacy is typically established through biological indicators and physical/chemical indicators, not expert consensus.

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

This question is not applicable for a physical instrument tray. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies where multiple human readers assess medical images/data and need to resolve discrepancies, which is not relevant here.

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

This question is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic devices, which is not the case for these instrument trays.

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

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

For the sterilization validation, the "ground truth" would be established by objective measurements verifying sterility assurance levels (SAL of 10^-6), absence of moisture, and maintenance of weight/integrity after sterilization. For cleaning validation, the ground truth would be based on test results for hemoglobin, Micro BCA protein, and TOC meeting acceptance criteria. These are empirical/scientific ground truths rather than expert consensus on interpretation.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The "training" for such physical devices involves rigorous design, material selection, and engineering validation.

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

This question is not applicable. There is no AI/ML training set.

*For use with the Reamer Tray

    1. Performance Data: Since the Flexible Reamer Tray contains with a worst case dimension (smaller lumen diameter and longer length) compared to the NSO Supplemental Instrument Trays, non-clinical performance testing was conducted to establish substantial equivalence of the Flexible Reamer Tray to the predicate device. Sterilization testing was conducted to confirm that a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 106 was achieved at the validation sterilization parameter in the pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle according to ISO 17665-1 and AAMI TIR12. A dry time validation was performed and was successful in determining an effective dry time of 40 minutes for the validated pre-vacuum steam sterilization cycle. The cleaning and sterilization study demonstrated that the previously validated cleaning and sterilization parameters for the predicate NSO Supplemental Instrument Trays were effective and will adequately clean and sterilize the Flexible Reamer Tray. No changes are being made to the design or materials of the NSO Supplement Trays; therefore, testing with regard to biocompatibility and limits of reprocessing was not repeated and the original testing results are still applicable. Results of the testing demonstrated that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.
    1. Conclusion: Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, performance data, and nonclinical tests performed, the subject NSO Supplement Trays are as safe and as effective as, the legally marketed predicate device, Ellipse Supplemental Instrument Trays cleared under K151594 under regulation 21 CFR 880.6850, product code KCT.
