The EasyMark Tissue Marker is intended for use to attach to soft breast tissue at the surgical site during an open surgical breast biopsy or a percutaneous breast biopsy to radiographically mark the biopsy procedure.
The EasyMark Tissue Marker is a sterile, single use device comprised of a disposable delivery device preloaded with a tissue marker. The disposable delivery device includes an introducer needle comprised of a plastic molded deployment handle, a thumb slide, a 17 ga. cannula with 1 cm depth marks and a push rod. The tissue marker is preloaded in the distal end of the cannula. This device offers the user the choice of two unique tissue markers (i) 316 LVM Stainless Steel Anchor shaped Marker (ii) Titanium 6AI-4V ELI Ribbon shaped Marker.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the EasyMark Tissue Marker. It details the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate and reference devices. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria or the study results proving the device meets those criteria, nor does it include information about a standalone study, MRMC study, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert details for such studies.
Based on the information provided, here's what can be inferred and what is missing:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This information is not provided in the document. The document lists the types of non-clinical tests performed but does not state the specific acceptance criteria for each test or the quantitative results from those tests.
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 provided as the document only states "non-clinical testing and evaluation was conducted." It doesn't detail specific sample sizes for any of the performance tests.
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 provided as the document does not describe any studies involving human experts or ground truth establishment in this manner.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as no studies involving human interpretation or adjudication are described.
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 provided. The EasyMark Tissue Marker is a physical implantable device, not an AI software. Therefore, an MRMC study with human readers improving with AI assistance would not be relevant to this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not provided. The device is a physical tissue marker, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
This information is not provided. The document describes performance testing, but not the specific methods used to establish ground truth for metrics like "Accuracy of Marker Deployment." It likely refers to objective measurements against predefined specifications.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. The EasyMark Tissue Marker is a physical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. The EasyMark Tissue Marker is a physical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.
Summary of Provided Information (within the scope of the document):

Disclaimer: The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing. It does not typically include detailed acceptance criteria or study results in the format requested, especially since the device is a physical marker and not an AI or diagnostic software tool.

Dear Mr. Field:
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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Indications for Use:
The EasyMark Tissue Marker is intended for use to attach to soft breast tissue at the surgical site during an open surgical breast biopsy or a percutaneous breast biopsy to radiographically mark the location of the biopsy procedure.
Technological Comparison to Predicate Device:
The EasyMark Tissue Marker has the same indications for use, principles of operation, fundamental scientific technology, and performance as that of predicate device UltraClip. In addition, SelectCore was chosen as the reference device to support the biocompatibility of the EasyMark's delivery device. The patient contact materials of the EasyMark (cannula and push rod) and SelectCore (cannula and stylet) are made of same material 304 Stainless Steel and have the same manufacturing processes. Therefore, a biological evaluation was conducted for the EasyMark delivery device in reference to SelectCore, to establish the biocompatibility of the delivery device.
