CORTRAK* 2 Equilateral Enteral Access System is an electrical device designed to aid qualified operators in the placement of Avanos NG feeding tubes of 8 FR or greater into the stomach or small bowel of patients requiring enteral feeding. CORTRAK* 2 Equilateral Enteral Access System can be used to confirm placement of feeding tubes prior to commencing the delivery of enteral nutrition.
CORTRAK* 2 Equilateral Enteral Access System (EAS) device is designed to track the path of an 8 Fr or greater Avanos feeding tube tip during the patient placement procedure. A coil winding at the distal end of the transmitting stylet acts as a transmitter, and its signal is detected by the externally-positioned receiver unit. The received signals are input to the attached All-In-One Monitor unit. The resulting raw data is processed, recorded, and presented to the operator in a meaningful and intuitive screen tracing. The CORTRAK*2 Equilateral EAS device is an electrical device that does not contact the patient, is not sterilized, and is reusable. Like the predicate device, it is intended to be use in clinical environment.
The provided document describes a device modification for the CORTRAK® 2 Equilateral Enteral Access System. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of diagnostic performance or clinical effectiveness.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K113351) by showing that the changes made (updated PC Single Board Computer, Display Processor Module, Operating System, GUI, removal of USB boot, removal of battery conditioning requirement) do not alter the intended use, safety, or effectiveness.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving their fulfillment as it is not present in the provided text.
Here is what I can extract based on the information provided, explaining why certain sections cannot be filled:
-
A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Not Available. The document outlines "nonclinical testing" which focuses on compliance with standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62366-1, IEC 62304) to demonstrate that the modified device continues to meet performance specifications and that the changes do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues. It does not present specific diagnostic performance acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or reported performance metrics against such criteria. The "Results" column in the table only states "Pass" for compliance with these standards.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not Available. The nonclinical testing mentioned does not involve a "test set" in the context of clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy. It refers to engineering and software verification tests.
-
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)
- Not Available. Ground truth establishment by experts is not relevant to the type of nonclinical testing described.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Available. Adjudication methods are not relevant to the nonclinical testing described.
-
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. The device described (CORTRAK® 2 Equilateral Enteral Access System) is an electrical device designed to aid operators in placing feeding tubes and confirming placement. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human readers or MRMC studies for improved diagnostic effectiveness. The changes are technical updates to electronics and software.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. As mentioned above, this device "aids qualified operators." It is not a standalone diagnostic algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not Applicable. Ground truth in the context of diagnostic/clinical performance is not discussed. The nonclinical testing refers to compliance with engineering and quality standards.
-
The sample size for the training set
- Not Available. The document does not describe the development of an AI algorithm or a "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Available. As there is no described AI algorithm or training set, this information is not present.

Dear Dave Yungvirt:
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.

7. SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTING
Performance testing on the device under submission was conducted to demonstrate the modified device continued to meet performance specifications. Results of design verification and validation activities did not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Non-clinical verification was conducted through the risk management process according to ISO 14971:2012. The following verification tests were conducted:
| Testing Requirements | Result |
|---|---|
| Compliance to IEC 60601-1 (Medical ElectricalEquipment - General Requirements for basicsafety and essential performance 2012, Edition3.1. Class 1.) | Pass |
| Compliance to IEC 60601-1-2 (MedicalElectrical Equipment - General requirements forbasic safety and essential performance -Collateral standard: Electromagneticcompatibility - Requirements and tests. | Pass |
| Compliance to IEC 62366-1:2015 (Part 1:Application of Usability Engineering to MedicalDevices.) | Pass |
| Compliance to IEC 62304:2006 (Medical devicesoftware - software life cycle processes) | Pass |
OVERALL PERFORMANCE CONCLUSIONS 8.
The above nonclinical studies demonstrate CORTRAK2 Equilateral Enteral Access Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate CORTRAK 2 Enteral Access Device (K113351) in intended use, design, materials, performance, and biocompatibility attributes. There are no new questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
9. CONCLUSION
The differences between the predicate CORTRAK* 2 Enteral Access Device (K113351) and subject CORTRAK2 Equilateral Enteral Access Device do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The subject CORTRAK2 Equilateral Enteral Access Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate CORTRAK*Enteral Access Device cleared under K113351 with respect to the indications for use, technology, material composition, and performance.
