Stereotactic spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or tool guide to be used by a surgeon to manually guide standard neurosurgical instruments.
neuromate Gen III has been validated with the Leksell Stereotactic System Type G (comprising of head frame and CT Localizer).
A stereotactic system with an electromechanical, multi jointed arm for spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or tool-guide. Guidance is based on a preoperative plan developed with three-dimensional imaging software. The system is intended for use by neurosurgeons to guide standard neurosurgical instruments.
The provided text is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for the neuromate Gen III device. It details the device's technical characteristics and compares it to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence. However, the document does not include information about AI/ML models, multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies, or the types of clinical studies typically associated with proving the performance of AI-powered diagnostic devices.
The "study" referenced in the document is a performance validation of the mechanical accuracy of the stereotactic system, rather than an AI model.
Therefore, for your request, I will explain why many of the requested fields cannot be filled based on this document and address the parts that can be inferred.
This device (neuromate Gen III) is a stereotactic instrument, not an AI or imaging diagnostic device. The "validation" studies described relate to the mechanical accuracy and software performance of the medical device itself, not to the performance of an AI model in interpreting medical images or assisting human readers.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on "Performance Validation" of the Mechanical System)
The document describes "Performance Validation" of the neuromate Gen III system, focusing on its accuracy in the context of stereotactic surgery. This is about the mechanical accuracy of the robot.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of the system for stereotactic positioning. | "The accuracy of the system complies with its claimed performances." |
| Equivalence in performance to the predicate system (K132755). | "is equivalent to those of the predicate system." |
| Specific Accuracy Claim (from Table comparison with predicate) | In Frame-based mode: < 2 mm (0.079 inches) and 2° between the position reached by the instrument and the actual target. (This is the "Overall positioning accuracy (including imaging)" for the neuromate Gen III.) |
Explanation for Missing Information:
For the following points, the information is not present in the provided document because the device is a mechanical stereotactic system and not an AI-based diagnostic device where such information would typically be collected.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "performance validation" here refers to testing the mechanical and functional accuracy of the device, not an AI model on a dataset of patient scans. The document mentions validation "with the Leksell Stereotactic System Type G (comprising of head frame and CT Localizer)," implying a physical setup for testing accuracy rather than a data set.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a mechanical device's accuracy is established through engineering measurements and metrology, not expert review of images.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
-
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 device does not involve AI assistance for human readers in image interpretation.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm being evaluated for standalone performance. The device is a surgical robot guided by a surgeon.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): The "ground truth" for the performance validation of this device would be precise mechanical measurements and engineering specifications for positioning accuracy, not medical diagnoses or pathology reports.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This document describes a medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document is a regulatory submission for a stereotactic surgical instrument, which is a mechanical robot used in neurosurgery. While it discusses software verification and validation (for the control software, including the new neuro|inspire planning software), it does not involve a study of an AI model's performance on medical imaging data or its impact on human readers. Therefore, the majority of the acceptance criteria and study details relevant to AI/ML devices cannot be found or inferred from this document. The "Performance Validation" mentioned pertains to the physical and computational accuracy of the robot's positioning capabilities.

Dear Stéphane Vinot:
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.

5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
A stereotactic system with an electromechanical, multi jointed arm for spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or tool-guide. Guidance is based on a preoperative plan developed with three-dimensional imaging software. The system is intended for use by neurosurgeons to guide standard neurosurgical instruments.
6. INDICATION FOR USE:
Stereotactic spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument holder or tool guide to be used by a surgeon to manually guide standard neurosurgical instruments.
neuromate Gen III has been validated with the Leksell Stereotactic System Type G (comprising of head frame and CT Localizer).
7. COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICE:
The neuromate Gen III system (this submission) has the same intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device cleared under K132755.
The differences between the two devices are about the use of a new planning software named neuro|inspire (reference device K163666).
- . Substitution of neuro|inspire planning software in the system:
The predicate device used a software package called VoXim as the planning software application. The neuromate Gen III (this submission) uses a planning software package called neuro|inspire (replacing Voxim). neuro|inspire contains a subset of functionalities of Voxim.
Moreover, the PC provided with the workstation has been changed to support the neuro|inspire software.
The proposed neuromate Gen III (this submission) is identical in design, intended use, construction and operation to the predicate K132755.
The itemised comparison between the device and its predicate is provided in the following paragraph 7 (Substantial Equivalence Summary) of this document.
