AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System, focusing on performance testing and regulatory clearance. It is important to note that this device is a physical medical device (a powered suction pump) and not an AI device or software. Therefore, the typical acceptance criteria and study designs associated with AI/software devices (e.g., MRMC studies, expert consensus on image interpretation, training/test set ground truth establishment for algorithms) are not applicable here.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and study details relevant to this physical medical device based on the information provided in the K182323 submission.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

Given that this is a physical medical device (a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system) and not an AI or software product, the acceptance criteria and study focus on mechanical and performance-based metrics, rather than diagnostic accuracy or human reader improvement with AI assistance.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify sample sizes in terms of number of devices or number of tests for each "bench test" conducted. The descriptions refer to "all dressings" or "the PICO 7Y device" without quantifying the number of units tested. This is common for this type of K submission where the focus is on demonstrating that the device can meet the specification, rather than statistical significance derived from large sample sizes.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for specific tests (e.g., "Wound model testing was conducted on the PICO 7Y system..." implies multiple dressings/tests, but exact number unknown).
  • Data Provenance: The tests are described as "Non-Clinical Tests (Bench)" indicating laboratory-based testing. A "summative study" for Human Factors was "carried out in the US." The origin of the actual materials used in testing (e.g., simulated wounds) is not detailed. All data appears to be prospective as it was generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This section is not applicable to this device. As a powered suction pump, the "ground truth" is based on objective physical measurements (e.g., pressure, flow rate, volume) and engineering standards, not on expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes that require human consensus. No experts were used to establish ground truth in the typical sense for an AI/software device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are primarily used in studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiology reads) where there might be inter-reader variability. For objective bench tests of a physical device, results are based on defined measurement protocols and pass/fail criteria, not on human judgment requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

Not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the impact of AI/software assistance on human performance (e.g., how AI improves a radiologist's ability to detect disease). This device is a physical therapy system, not a diagnostic or AI-assisted interpretation tool. Therefore, no MRMC study was performed.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device. There is no "algorithm only" component in the sense of a diagnostic or interpretive AI. Its performance is measured directly through its mechanical and functional operation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance of the PICO 7Y system was based on:

  • Engineering Specifications and Benchmarking: Pre-defined ranges for pressure (e.g., -60 to -100 mmHg), flow rates (e.g., 0.6 g/cm²/24 hours), and time intervals (e.g., <100 seconds to reach target pressure, 24-hour indicator activation).
  • Simulated Clinical Scenarios: Use of simulated wounds (25% of dressing absorbent pad area) and simulated fluid volumes (50ml, 600ml) to mimic real-world conditions in a controlled laboratory environment.
  • Industry Standards: Compliance with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series).

This is analogous to "bench testing" against defined performance parameters and safety standards.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI model. There is no concept of a "training set" in the context of device development described here.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Clearance Date:

August 21, 2018

Device Description

PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is a small, lightweight, portable, electro-mechanical pump system connected through a Yshaped tube known as the "Y-Connector" to two super-absorbent, gentle adhesive dressings. Secondary fixation strips are also provided to ensure an adequate seal is achieved. The pump, the dressings and fixation strips are supplied sterile and for single use. PICO 7Y was designed to deliver negative pressure wound therapy to low and moderate exudate levels of acute and chronic wound types. PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is suitable for use in both a hospital and homecare setting.

Indications for Use

PICO 7Y is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) as it may promote wound healing via removal of low to moderate levels of exudate and infectious materials. Appropriate wound types include:

  • . Chronic
  • . Acute

{5}------------------------------------------------

  • Traumatic .
  • Subacute and dehisced wounds ●
  • Partial-thickness burns .
  • Ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure) ●
  • Flaps and grafts ●
  • . Closed Surgical incisions

PICO Systems are suitable for use both in a hospital and homecare setting.

Comparison between subject device and predicate device

The main differences between the cleared PICO 7 System (K180698) and the subject device are as follows:

    1. Introduction of a Y connector to the existing PICO 7 pump device (K180698) allowing delivery of negative pressure to two wounds simultaneously. The O-ring component within the pump device has been changed to enable securing the Y Connector within the pump device casing.
    1. Extension of the soft port connected to the large multisite dressing kit for use with PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System. The dressing components are identical to existing large multisite dressings (20 x 25cm or 7.9 x 9.8 inches); however the soft port has been extended for user convenience so that when using the device on two wounds, use of the extension tubing is not necessary.
  • Introduction of a new packaging configuration incorporating dimensional 3. changes to accommodate for additional PVC tubing, the instructions for use being presented as booklets, and the "book" style carton used in the predicate device being replaced with a tuck end carton.
    1. Replacement of the 'Dressing Full' indicator with the 'Check Dressing' indicator to remind the user to check their dressing every 24hours.

{6}------------------------------------------------

    1. Corresponding changes to the software to accommodate the use of the system on two wounds and replacement of the 'Dressing Full' indicator with 'Check Dressing' indicator.
  • Replacement of Alkaline batteries with Lithium batteries which are 6. identical to those which were used in a previously cleared version of PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (K163387).
  • Corresponding changes to the instructions for use to reflect the design 7. changes made to the subject device.

The following testing has been completed on the subject device:

Non-Clinical Tests (Bench)

  • . Wound model testing was conducted on the PICO 7Y system and compatible dressings from the PICO range (10x20cm and 25x25cm dressings) at low and moderate flow rate in vertical and horizontal positions.
    The results of the tests showed that all of the dressings managed fluid at a flow rate modelling a low (0.6 g/cm²/24 hours) and a moderately exuding wound (1.1 g/cm²/24 hours) respectively for a simulated wound of 25% of the dressing absorbent pad area. The results also showed that the dressings maintained negative pressure within the test requirements of -60 mmHg to -100 mmHg for a minimum of 95% of the test time at the simulated wound base throughout the test. Based on the results of the tests it can be concluded that the PICO 7Y device and accessories can be used for their intended purposes.

  • Wound model testing was conducted on the PICO 7Y dressings in the . absence of negative pressure in vertical and horizontal positions. The results of the tests showed that all of the dressings in a vertical position managed fluid at a flow rate modelling moderate and low exuding wounds

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

K182323

with no NPWT (0.5 g/cm²/24hrs and 0.3g/cm²/24hrs) for a simulated wound of 25% of the dressing absorbent pad area. Based on the results it can be concluded that the PICO 7Y dressings (large multisite) can handle fluid without the presence of negative pressure.

  • Functionality testing was conducted on the PICO 7Y device to ● demonstrate that PICO 7Y pump unit has been adequately designed to handle small (minimum total 50ml volume) and large (maximum total 600ml volume) simulated wounds simultaneously. The results of the tests (using one canister of 50ml and two 300ml canisters respectively to simulate small and large wounds) showed that the pump pressure limits were recorded between -100 to -60mmHg and had a cycle of ≥10mmHg and the time taken to reach the target negative pressure was less than 100seconds. This demonstrated the pump can be used for its intended purpose.
  • The ability of the PICO 7Y device to deliver negative pressure whilst in a . battery low state was assessed. Test results showed that the PICO 7Y device can continue to deliver negative pressure when the device is in a battery low state demonstrating that the pump can be used for its intended purpose.
  • Check dressing indicator performance testing was conducted on the PICO . 7Y device. The results of the tests showed that the check dressing indicator successfully activated after 24 hours use, while maintaining negative pressure.

After resetting, per the Instructions for Use and Intended Use, the second occurrence of the check dressing indicator activated after a minimum of 23 hours and 45 minutes and a maximum of 24 hours and 10minutes. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the PICO 7Y devices can be used for their intended purposes.

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

K182323

  • Performance testing was conducted on the PICO 7Y device to . demonstrate that the dressing is able to manage exudate in a scenario when NPWT is lost after the port becomes blocked, thus mitigating risk of maceration. Test results show that the system when tested under the maximum clinically acceptable flow rate successfully manages exudate during the delivery of negative pressure and following the loss of negative pressure until the 7 day service life has been achieved. As such the design of the dressing provides for inherent safety and acts as an effective primary mitigation for the risk that a dressing is left in place after a port blockage scenario has occurred.
  • Performance bench testing was conducted to confirm system performance ● and demonstrate that when one dressing soft port is blocked, pressure is maintained within the specified range on the non-blocked dressing. The results demonstrate that when one dressing soft port is blocked due to oversaturation of the dressing, the PICO 7Y device is still able to deliver acceptable levels of negative pressure to the non-blocked dressing.
  • Air leak testing was conducted on PICO 7Y device by introducing . deliberate air leaks into the system to show that when the system has a high leak rate, the leak indicators activate to alert the user to inspect the dressing application and address the point of air ingress/ air leak. Test results showed that air leak indicator was activated at specified time points in line with the test requirements representing the initial application of the system to achieve the therapeutic negative pressure range of -60mmHg to -100mmHg (target -80mmHg); and maintenance of the therapeutic pressure range.

Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the PICO 7Y devices can be used for their intended purposes.

Shelf Life

The PICO 7Y system has been evaluated using real time and accelerating ageing challenge conditions and a combination of simulated wound model testing as well as specification testing to demonstrate system functionality over the duration of the shelf life.

Test results showed that all dressings managed fluid at a flow rate modelling a low (0.6 g/cm²/24 hours) and a moderately exuding wound (1.1 g/cm²/24 hours) respectively for a simulated wound of 25% of the dressing absorbent pad area. The results also showed that the dressings maintained negative pressure within

{10}------------------------------------------------

K182323

the test requirements of -60 mmHg to -100 mmHg for a minimum of 95% of the test time at the simulated wound base throughout the test without any pressure readings being lower than -235mmHg. Furthermore, all specification test results complied with the acceptance criteria as defined within the test requirements. The results of all tests showed that the subject device was able to maintain its functionality over the duration of the ageing study and that a shelf life of 24 months (2 years) can be applied to the PICO 7Y system. Therefore, it can be concluded that the PICO 7Y device and accessories can be used for their intended purposes.

Human Factors/Usability Engineering Testing

A summative study was carried out in the US. Instructions for Use (IFU) validations were also carried out to demonstrate that the intended users (Lay Users, Healthcare Professionals) can follow the instructions as intended and understand information for safety from the instructions for use. The summative study activities did not result in any patterns of use errors that when assessed resulted in an unacceptable residual risk. PICO 7Y system has appropriate design mitigations in order to prevent and control harm occurring due to use error. It was therefore concluded that PICO 7Y system is safe and effective for use by the intended users, for the described uses in the expected environments.

Conclusions

In establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Smith & Nephew Medical Ltd evaluated the indications for use, materials, technology, product specifications and energy requirements of the device. Performance testing, service life testing and electrical safety testing has been completed to demonstrate that the PICO 7Y Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is substantially equivalent to predicate device for the intended use.
