Intended Use

The Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube is intended for endotracheal intubation. It is indicated for use for all types of surgical procedures involving carbon dioxide (10.60 microns) or KTP (532 nm) laser use (normal pulsed or continuous beam delivery in the non-contact mode), when endotracheal intubation is required to administer anesthetic gases or to overcome emergency obstruction of an airway.

Device Description

The Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube is an endotracheal tube with two inflatable cuffs. It is indicated for use in surgical procedures where intubation is required in the presence of KTP or CO2 lasers.

The device is provided sterile (EO). After use, the device is discarded and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. There are no associated device accessories.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device and describes various tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a study designed to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in a clinical or AI performance context.

Therefore, much of the requested information (like sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC comparative effectiveness, standalone performance, and training set details) is not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document, as it pertains to specific types of clinical or AI performance studies which are not described here.

However, I can extract information related to the performance data provided to support the substantial equivalence claim.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document describes various performance tests conducted for the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube to support its substantial equivalence. While specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly detailed in this summary, the tests implicitly demonstrate that the device performs as intended and is safe and effective when compared to the predicate device.

Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as inferred from the provided test types):

Biocompatibility (Device materials are safe for human contact)Biocompatibility evaluation conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1. Tests included: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity. Device is considered tissue-contacting for less than 24 hours.

Study Information (Based on available text):

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not explicitly stated for each test. The document mentions "The non-clinical test data support the safety of the device and the verification and validation testing data demonstrate that the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube shall perform as intended in the specified use conditions." The nature of these tests (e.g., dimensional, mechanical, laser resistance) suggests laboratory-based testing on samples of the device. Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not mentioned.

  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. These are non-clinical engineering and laboratory performance tests, not studies requiring expert interpretation of clinical data for ground truth.

  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. These are objective engineering and material performance tests.

  4. 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 document describes a medical device (endotracheal tube), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.

  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is for an endotracheal tube, not an algorithm.

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For the performance tests listed (e.g., dimensional, bend radius, cuff function, laser resistance), the "ground truth" would be established by validated engineering specifications, material standards, and physical measurements/observations during the tests. For biocompatibility, it's compliance with ISO 10993-1 standards and the results of the specific biological tests.

  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI model or training set described in this document.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No training set is described.

Dear Ian Broome:

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.

  • Bend radius,
  • . Cuff inflation/deflation/burst testing (time and pressure),
  • Dye visibility.
  • . Laser resistance,
  • Tracheal tube dimensions, ●
  • . Connector leakage.

Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube was conducted in accordance with the FDA's guidance "International Standard ISO 10993-1 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process." The biocompatibility testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity,
  • Sensitization, ●
  • Irritation, ●
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity, ●
  • Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity. .

The Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube is considered tissue-contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours. The device's materials are well-characterized for medical use.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

The non-clinical test data support the safety of the device and the verification and validation testing data demonstrate that the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube shall perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use, and the technological differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
