Intended Use

Tumark for Eviva and Tumark for Brevera are intended to attach a marker to soft tissue at the surgical site during a percutaneous procedure. The devices are indicated for use to radiologically mark the surgical location in breasts following a percutaneous procedure. They are not indicated to be used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.

Device Description

Tumark for Eviva and Tumark for Brevera are sterile, single use, preloaded tissue site marking systems consisting of a non-absorbable nickel-titanium marker, an introducer cannula and a plastic handheld applier with deployment mechanism.

The introducer cannula has a blunt tip and can only be used together with an introducer. The handle is equipped with a slide-button which allows for a one handed placement of the marker by pressing it forward. A safety catch system prevents the slide-button to inadvertently move forward and therefore prevents a premature deployment of the marker.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the "Tumark for Eviva" and "Tumark for Brevera" devices. This document summarizes the device's characteristics and the studies performed to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a standalone study proving its performance against specific acceptance criteria for regulatory approval of a novel device. The primary goal of a 510(k) is to show substantial equivalence, not necessarily to prove efficacy/safety as an entirely new product.

Therefore, many of the requested details about a standalone study, multi-reader multi-case studies, expert adjudication methods, and explicit training set details are not present in this type of submission. The focus is on bench and in vitro testing relative to the predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, addressing what is available and noting what is not:

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test (e.g., number of devices tested for sterility, shelf life, or blunt tip evaluation). The "Device Performance" test mentions "X-, Q-, and Vision markers" and deployment into a "breast phantom," implying a physical test, but the number of deployments or phantoms is not given.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The applicant is based in Germany.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Not applicable as the studies described are bench and in vitro tests, not clinical studies involving patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • This information is not provided as the "studies" are bench and in vitro tests assessing physical and material properties, not diagnostic performance requiring expert interpretation.

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

  • This information is not provided as the "studies" are bench and in vitro tests, not diagnostic performance studies with a need for adjudication.

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

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done and is not applicable. The device is an implantable marker, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool for interpretation by human readers.

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

  • A standalone performance study in the context of an algorithm was not done and is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device (implantable marker). The performance studies listed are bench tests of its physical and material properties.

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

  • For the bench and in vitro tests, the "ground truth" would be established physical measurements, material science standards (e.g., ISO for biocompatibility and sterility), and successful mechanical deployment into a phantom. There is no expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data used for these types of tests.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • This information is not applicable/not provided. The device is an implantable marker, not an AI or algorithm-based system that requires a "training set." The tests conducted are to confirm the physical and biological properties of the device.

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

  • This information is not applicable/not provided as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

Dear Dr. Jakob:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
