The Aspire Aspirator G is a piston syringe to inject fluids into, or aspirate fluids from, the body.
The Subject Device is a single-use, hand-held, and general-purpose aspirator configured with a barrel, plunger, and handles. The front handle is pivotally connected the back handle and distally connected to the barrel. The back handle is pivotally connected to the front handle and distally connected to the plunger. Squeezing the handles creates a mechanical advantage to move the plunger inside the barrel. The handle design also prevents the plunger from being pulled completely out of the barrel during use. The main difference between the Subject Device and the Predicate is the addition of a basic off-the-shelf pressure gauge and change from a one-piece to two-piece button between the handles.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Aspire Mechanical Aspirator G based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:
The document describes non-clinical (bench) testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a clinical study of AI performance. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI performance, human readers, and ground truth establishment (which are typically relevant for AI/ML device submissions) are not applicable here.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by confirming the Subject Device performs the same as the Predicate device across various bench tests. The reported performance is that the Subject Device confirms to these tests.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly "Same as Predicate") | Reported Subject Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Operational & Actuation Tests | Confirmed |
| Vacuum Integrity Tests | Confirmed |
| ISO 7886-1:2017 Annex B Barrel Leakage Tests | Confirmed |
| ISO 7886-1:2017 Annex B Plunger Leakage Tests | Confirmed |
| ISO 7886-1:2017 Annex B Luer Leakage Tests | Confirmed |
| ISO 80369-20:2015 Annex D Fluid Seal Integrity Tests | Confirmed |
| MIL-STD-1472F Button Force Tests | Confirmed |
| ISO 10993-1 Biocompatibility | Confirmed |
| ISO 11135-1:2014 Sterilization to achieve SAL 106 and EO/ECH limits below ISO 10993-7 standards | Confirmed |
| ISO 1167-1:2006 Packaging Integrity Tests | Confirmed |
| ASTM F1608 Package Integrity Tests | Confirmed |
| ASTM D4169 Shipping Integrity Tests | Confirmed |
Study Details (Non-Clinical Bench Testing)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in the provided document. The tests listed are standard for medical devices of this type and would typically involve a statistically relevant number of units, but the specific quantity is not given.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable as this is bench testing of physical device performance, not data-driven AI. The tests confirm manufacturing standards and device functionality.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, and performance is measured against established engineering standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, MIL-STD) and predicate device performance, not expert human interpretation.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This is objective bench testing against measurable standards, not subjective human assessment requiring adjudication.
-
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. This is a mechanical aspirator, a physical medical device, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. MRMC studies are not relevant.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a physical device; there is no algorithm or AI component. The "standalone" performance here refers to the device itself operating according to its design specifications.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this type of device is defined by engineering specifications and recognized industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, MIL-STD) for performance characteristics like leakage, force, and sterilization efficacy. The predicate device's established performance also serves as a benchmark for equivalence.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model.

Dear Shawn Fojtik:
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

| Product Code: | FMF |
| Regulation: | Class II, 21 CFR 880.5860 |
Reference device utilized in submission because the pressure gauge is the same material, assembly, and processes as Subject Device.
5. Device Description
The Subject Device is a single-use, hand-held, and general-purpose aspirator configured with a barrel, plunger, and handles. The front handle is pivotally connected the back handle and distally connected to the barrel. The back handle is pivotally connected to the front handle and distally connected to the plunger. Squeezing the handles creates a mechanical advantage to move the plunger inside the barrel. The handle design also prevents the plunger from being pulled completely out of the barrel during use.
Image /page/4/Picture/7 description: The image shows two medical devices, labeled as "PREDICATE DEVICE" and "SUBJECT DEVICE". The "PREDICATE DEVICE" is identified as "Aspire Aspirator K072299. Also K113757 and K131998". The "SUBJECT DEVICE" is identified as "Aspire Aspirator G". Both devices appear to be hand-operated suction devices with a similar design, featuring a handle and a clear cylinder.
The Subject Device's design, intended use, fundamental scientific principle, operation, technology, actuation, use, barrel, plunger, front handle, button, dimensions, luers, connectors, polymers, molding, assembly, packaging, and sterilization is the same as the Predicate. Users may connect pressure gauges to Predicate during use. The main difference between the Subject Device and the Predicate is the addition of a basic off-the-shelf pressure gauge and change from a one-piece to two-piece button between the handles.
6. Indications for Use
The Subject Device is the same Indication as the Predicate: The Subject Device is a piston syringe to inject fluids into, or aspirate fluids from, the body.
