The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing is intended for 24-hour multi-patient use. Air/water bottle tubing is supplied in sterile. The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing is manufactured for use in conjunction with sterile water bottle, and together with Olympus 160 and Pentax 90 series endoscopes. The air/water bottle tubing is individually packed in sealed package, sold as a sterile device. The air/water bottle tubing is designed to be attached to the air/water port of the endoscopes to provide irrigation through the air/water channel to the distal end of endoscope.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called "Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving novel effectiveness through a comprehensive study with specific acceptance criteria related to a diagnostic output or algorithm performance.
Therefore, the typical metrics for acceptance criteria and study descriptions (like sensitivity, specificity, types of ground truth, number of experts, MRMC studies, effect sizes, and separate test/training sets with explicit ground truth establishment) are generally not applicable in the context of this device and submission type.
Instead, the acceptance criteria here relate to the performance, safety, and functional equivalence of the tubing device compared to an existing predicate.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, addressing the questions as much as possible for this type of device:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state numerical "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the way one would for an AI diagnostic device (e.g., "sensitivity > 90%"). Instead, it lists tests performed and states that these tests support substantial equivalence. The "performance" is implicitly "met all tests successfully" to be considered substantially equivalent.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Implicit) |
|---|---|
| Assembling Integrity | Passed |
| Endoscope Compatibility | Passed |
| Compatibility with Bottle | Passed |
| Two-Way Valve Integrity | Passed |
| Flow Clamp Test | Passed |
| Water Flow Test | Passed |
| Back Flow Performance Test | Passed |
| Sterility (SAL of 10⁻⁶) | Passed (Validated EO sterilization) |
| EO residuals (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7) | Below maximum levels |
| Shelf Life (3 years) | Passed (Verified by accelerated aging, seal strength, dye penetration, microbial barrier, vacuum leak, sterility tests) |
| Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1) | Passed (Acute Systemic Toxicity, In Vitro Cytotoxicity, Skin sensitization, Irritation tests showed biocompatibility) |
| Barrier Integrity & Simulated Use Testing (24-hour multi-patient use) | Passed (Verified back-flow prevention and 24-hour multi-patient use) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of patients or images, as this is a tubing device. The testing was performed on "Smartdata samples from initial production lots." The provenance of these samples would be the manufacturer, Smartdata Suzhou Co., Ltd., in China. These would be considered prospective in the sense they are new production samples being tested.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This is not applicable. The device is a piece of medical tubing, not a diagnostic or AI-driven decision support system that requires expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" here is physical performance (e.g., does it leak? does it flow water correctly? is it sterile?).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable. Adjudication methods are used to establish ground truth in studies involving human interpretation or clinical outcomes. For bench testing of a physical device, the results are typically objectively measured and do not require expert adjudication in this manner.
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. An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic or AI-assisted interpretation, where human readers evaluate cases with and without AI assistance. This device is a piece of tubing used in endoscopic procedures, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No. This refers to the performance of an algorithm without human input, which is not relevant for this device. The testing described is "standalone" in the sense that the tubing itself was tested for its physical and functional properties.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurement of physical properties and adherence to established standards. Examples include:
- Physical integrity (no leaks, secure connections)
- Flow rates (water flow test)
- Sterility (Sterility Assurance Level, EO residuals)
- Material compatibility (biocompatibility tests)
- Durability (shelf life accelerated aging)
- Functional performance (back-flow prevention, compatibility with endoscopes/bottles).
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set.

9.2 Sterilization
Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing is sold in sterile package, like the Medivators predicate devices. The subject device has been sterilized in a validated EO sterilization cycle. The EO sterilization cycle has a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106 EO residuals on the components are below the maximum levels defined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7:2008 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 7: Ethylene Oxide sterilization residuals. The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing, and the predicate devices, are not labeled as pyrogen-free because they do not have any blood or cerebrospinal fluid contact.
9.3 Shelf Life
The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing has a three (3) year expiration date, based on the design and material equivalence to the predicate devices and existing sterile barrier data from Smartdata existing packaging. The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing is packaged in a paper/film pouch respectively like other sterile products Smartdata currently manufactures. These pouches have been tested by Sanitation Environment Technology Institute, Soochow University .which is an CNAS accredited laboratory. The tests conducted including accelerated aging, seal strength, dye penetration, microbial barrier properties, vacuum leak test and the sterility test. Smartdata conducted the performance test after the accelerated aging process. The test result can imply that the air/water bottle tubing can provide and maintain a sterile barrier and its intended performance for at least three (3) years.
9.4 Biocompatibilitv
The biocompatibility of the Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing was conducted in accordance with the FDA quideline "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1. "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process"". It included the following tests.
- Acute Systemic Toxicity Test -
- In Vitro Cytotoxicity -
- । Skin sensitization
- Irritation -
The air/water bottle tubing is classified as surface device with mucosal membrane contact for a limited duration (not more than 24 hours). The test result shows that the air/water bottle tubing is biocompatible.
0.5 Barrier Integrity and Simulated Use Testing
The barrier integrity and simulated use testing of Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing was conducted. The test result can imply that the air/water valve in the endoscope provide sufficient back-backflow prevention to the Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing and verified 24-hour multi-patient use
10. Clinical Testing
Similar devices have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. These devices have no direct patient contact. Based on this history and the use of the device, clinical testing was not necessary to support substantial equivalence data. The non-clinical testing performed supports safety and efficacy of the devices and provides data to show substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
{7}------------------------------------------------
11. Conclusion
Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing has the same intended use as the predicate devices.
Based on the technological characteristics and overall performance of the devices in bench testing, Smartdata believes that no significant differences exist between the proposed air/water bottle tubing and the predicate devices.
The Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
From a clinical perspective and comparing design specifications, the Vacutore® Air/Water Bottle Tubing, and the predicate device are substantially equivalent.
