AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Syringe with Safety Needle, Safety Needle). It primarily demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a de novo study proving a device meets specific clinical acceptance criteria through a novel study design. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding clinical study setup (sample size, ground truth, expert opinions, MRMC studies) is not applicable to this type of submission.

The document focuses on non-clinical performance data and a simulated clinical study for the safety mechanism.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are generally based on compliance with international and ASTM standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility, ISO 7864 for hypodermic needles, ISO 7886-1 for syringes, ISO 23908 for sharps injury protection, ASTM standards for packaging integrity). The reported device performance is stated as meeting these standards. Specific numerical acceptance criteria or performance metrics for each test are not explicitly detailed in a single table, but rather implied by the statement "The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards" and "The test results show that the device meets the requirements of related standards."

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

  • Non-Clinical/Bench Testing: The document states "Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications" and "Physical. Mechanical, Chemical testing listed in following table were performed on the proposed device." Specific sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., biocompatibility lot sizes, mechanical test numbers) are not provided in this summary.
  • Simulated Clinical Study: "A simulated clinical study was performed... to evaluate the safety mechanism of the proposed device." Similarly, the specific sample size for this simulated study is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: The manufacturer is Jiangsu Caina Medical Co., Ltd in China. The testing was conducted internally or by contract labs consistent with international standards. The document does not specify country of origin for any "data" beyond the manufacturer's location. The studies are by nature prospective (testing the new device).

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

  • This information is not applicable as there was no clinical study involving expert interpretation of patient data to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is adherence to established international and ASTM standards.
  • For the "Simulated Clinical Study," the ground truth would be objectively measured performance against the safety mechanism's functional requirements as per FDA guidance and ISO 23908:2011. No human expert interpretation with ground truth labels is mentioned.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. There was no clinical study with human readers/interpreters requiring adjudication of results.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument (syringe/needle), not an AI-enabled diagnostic device. No MRMC study was performed.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" for this submission are the performance specifications and acceptance criteria outlined in recognized industrial and medical device standards (ISO, ASTM, USP), as well as relevant FDA guidance documents for sharps injury prevention. For the simulated clinical study, the ground truth was the objective performance of the safety mechanism against pre-established criteria based on these standards and guidance.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not a machine learning/AI device, so there is no concept of a "training set."

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

  • Not applicable. (See point 8).

Summary of what the document does provide regarding acceptance:

The acceptance of this device for 510(k) clearance is primarily based on:

  1. Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence (SE) to a legally marketed predicate device (K170651 for "Sterile Disposable Syringe with Safety Needle" and "Sterile Disposable Safety Needle"). The "Indications for Use" are shown to be the same.
  2. Compliance with recognized consensus standards (listed on page 12-14) for biocompatibility, sterility, physical/mechanical performance, packaging, and sharps injury prevention.
  3. Non-clinical testing results affirming that the proposed device performs comparably to the predicate device and meets the performance requirements of applicable standards.
  4. A Simulated Clinical Study (details not provided beyond its existence and outcome) to evaluate the safety mechanism's compliance with FDA guidance and ISO 23908:2011, demonstrating it "met the pre-established criteria."
  5. A Safety Feature Test comparing the proposed device to the predicate, showing "the test data of the proposed device is very close to the test data of the predicate device."

Different- Syringe Volume and Connector Type

The Syringe volume for proposed device is different from the predicate devices. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different volume device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the syringe volume of the proposed syringe with safety needle is covered by the range of the syringe volume of the predicate device. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.

Different-Needle Size and Length

The needle size and length for proposed device is different from the predicate device. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different size and length device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the needle length of the proposed syringe with safety needle is included in the range of the needle length of the predicate device. The needle size of the syringe with safety needle is very close to that of the comparison product. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.

Different-Connector type

The connector type of proposed needle is covered by the predicated device. Considering the needle may become disengaged from the syringe when activating the safety shield for the syringe with luer-slip connector, therefore the proposed safety needle is not available in luer-slip connector. Therefore, we think the difference on configuration will not raise new questions on safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

Different-Needle Gauge and length

The proposed needle has extra 31G than the predicate device. And the 31G needle is similar the 30G in dimension. The needle gauge and length will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness
