Device Description

ulrichINJECT CT motion is a syringeless contrast media management system that is designed for the controlled, automatic administration, on the venous side, of contrast media and saline, to human subjects undergoing diagnostic examinations in computed tomography (CT) applications.

The ulrichINJECT CT motion system consists of the CT motion terminal, CT motion injector and the CT motion tubing system.

ulrichINJECT CT motion uses a peristaltic pump as part of the injector which is designed to transport the media fluid through the CT motion tubing system (spikes for CT, CT motion pump tubing-flex and patient tubing for pump tubing-flex).

The only component of the ulrichINJECT CT motion that comes in contact with the patient is the ulrichINJECT CT motion tubing system. The tubing system consists of three components:

  • . Spike for CT
  • Pump tubing-flex .
  • . Patient Tubing

The ulrichINJECT CT motion tubing system has indirect contact with the blood path of a patient for a limited duration (few minutes).

The ulrichINJECT CT motion system is also intended to be used with the following components, which are not supplied with the system:

  • . Multiple patient use saline containers,
  • . Omnipaque™ IBP contrast media containers, and
  • . Cannula.

ulrichINJECT CT motion is specifically indicated for use in CT procedures for the delivery of Omnipaque™ (lohexol) Injection, solution - GE Healthcare Inc. contrast media as supplied in Imaging Bulk Packages (IBP).

ulrichINJECT CT motion is equipped with multiple hardware and software controls that work together for the intended use of the device. Controls include air detectors, which are designed to detect air without direct contact with the medium, pressure controls to manage and regulate pressure inside the tubing system, and check valves to prevent backflow of media and avoid retrograde contamination.

The ulrichINJECT CT motion is provided in three versions:

  • Mobile pedestal version
  • . Ceiling version
  • Wall mounted version
AI/ML Overview

The document provided is a 510(k) Summary for the ulrichINJECT CT motion device, seeking substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It primarily focuses on comparing the new device to the predicate and listing non-clinical tests conducted to support its safety and performance.

However, the document does not contain the specific information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a structured study demonstrating the device meets those criteria, as typically found in clinical evaluation reports or detailed performance studies for AI/software devices. The ulrichINJECT CT motion is a contrast media management system, a hardware device, not an AI or software device that would typically have the requested metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, F1 score).

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request for information like:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in the context of AI metrics).
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study.
  • Standalone performance.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were performed using ulrichINJECT CT motion." (Page 18).

Instead, the document details non-clinical testing performed to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as summarized below:


Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (Based on Non-Clinical Testing for Substantial Equivalence)

The ulrichINJECT CT motion is a contrast media management system (a hardware device) that was evaluated for substantial equivalence primarily through non-clinical testing. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to compliance with various engineering standards and performance requirements demonstrated through bench testing and material compatibility studies, rather than AI-specific performance metrics. No clinical studies were performed.

"The differences in time limits between the ulrichINJECT CT motion and the predicate device are addressed with the completion of contamination control studies."
Human Factors / UsabilityUsers can operate ulrichINJECT CT motion as the predicate device."Human Factors / Usability assessments were performed in a simulated use environment. The results demonstrated that users can operate ulrichINJECT CT motion as the predicate device."
Functional Equivalence to Predicate Device (CT Expres 3D Contrast Media Delivery System)The ulrichINJECT CT motion should be equivalent in indications for use, overall design, and operating principles to the predicate device, with any differences not raising new questions of safety or effectiveness. Specific parameters like flow rates, volumes, pressure limits, air detection, etc., should be comparable or improved.The document provides a detailed comparison table (pages 6-7) indicating equivalence or similar performance for numerous parameters (e.g., syringeless system, remote operation, rotary peristaltic pump, administration of contrast/saline, disposable uses spikes, safety stop, volume readout, programmable pressure limit, injection capabilities, injection rates, injection volume, flow rate/volume accuracy, contrast media container volume, saline flush, needle size, injection pause, protocol storage, priming/venting rate, air detection, occlusion detection).

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

This information is not applicable or not specified within the provided text. The testing conducted was primarily bench testing and simulated use, not clinical trials with human subjects or retrospective/prospective data analysis in the manner typically associated with AI/software performance studies. The provenance of the manufacturing entity is Germany (ulrich GmbH & Co. KG).

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 or not specified as the evaluation did not involve expert-labeled ground truth for a diagnostic task. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was established by compliance with engineering standards and predefined performance specifications.

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

This information is not applicable or not specified because the testing described does not involve human adjudication of results in the context of diagnostic performance.

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 information is not applicable. The ulrichINJECT CT motion is a hardware device for administering contrast media, not a diagnostic AI system intended to assist human readers.

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

This information is not applicable as the device is a hardware system, not a standalone algorithm. Its performance is inherent in its electromechanical operation and tubing system.

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

For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" was based on:

  • Compliance with recognized standards: e.g., ISO, IEC standards for sterility, biocompatibility, electrical safety, etc.
  • Engineering specifications: predefined operational ranges for flow rate, volume accuracy, pressure limits, air detection, etc.
  • Chemical and microbiological tests: laboratory measurements to confirm material compatibility, absence of contamination, and sterility.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The ulrichINJECT CT motion is a hardware device and does not involve AI/machine learning training sets.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for an AI/machine learning model.
