2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly mentioned for specific performance tests.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Preclinical Testing: "Third party testing of the electronics" and "Third party testing of the device" for electrical safety and home use standards. "Bench testing experiments" for diathermic heating effects on an ex vivo bovine muscle model. This implies lab-based, controlled testing. There is no mention of country of origin, but given the FDA submission, it's likely testing was done in accredited labs that meet international standards.
    • Clinical Testing: "Usability data, human factors studies, and literature was provided to support the home use label." This suggests that prospective studies focusing on usability and human factors were conducted, but specific sample sizes and data provenance (e.g., country of origin) are not detailed within this summary. It might also refer to literature reviews of similar devices or general human factors principles. The document is submitted to the US FDA, so any data provided would need to be acceptable to the US regulatory body.

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

Not applicable. The reported studies (bench testing, electrical safety, usability/human factors) do not involve expert interpretation or subjective ground truth establishment in the way, for example, a diagnostic image analysis algorithm would. The "ground truth" for electrical safety and performance standards is defined by the standards themselves and objective measurements. For diathermic heating effects, it would be measured temperature changes. For usability, it would involve direct observation and user feedback rather than expert consensus on a 'truth'.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable for the types of studies mentioned. These are objective measures against standards or physical phenomena, not subjective assessments requiring 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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or mentioned. This device is an ultrasound therapy system, not a diagnostic imaging AI.

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

A standalone performance assessment was effectively done for the physical and electrical characteristics of the device through preclinical bench testing and compliance with standards. The device itself operates independently to generate ultrasonic energy. The "home use" indication implies it's designed for use by the patient, meaning it's largely standalone in its therapeutic application, though prescribed by a physician. The firmware is for logging, not for diagnostic or control functions, so there isn't an "AI" component in the traditional sense to evaluate.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Preclinical Testing (Electrical Safety, Performance Standards): The ground truth is defined by the international and national standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, 21 CFR 1050.10) and objective physical measurements (e.g., temperature, power output) on the device and an ex vivo model.
  • Clinical Testing (Usability/Human Factors): The ground truth for usability would be user performance, feedback, and adherence to safety protocols, evaluated against human factors guidelines.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a training set. The firmware mentioned is for logging usage time, not for learning or decision-making.

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

Not applicable, as no training set was used for an AI/ML component.

An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
