AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the AFS Medical Sterile Single-Use Access Port System. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility testing, rather than a clinical study evaluating diagnostic performance of an AI-powered device. Therefore, many of the requested categories in your prompt are not applicable to this submission.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding acceptance criteria and testing results:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

  • Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Sample sizes are not explicitly stated for individual tests. The data provenance is internal testing performed by the manufacturer, likely in a laboratory setting.
  • Clinical Testing: "Real-world data was collected from two independent clinical sites in Austria." The number of procedures or patients is not specified. This is prospective data collection.

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

  • Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Not applicable, as these are objective engineering and material tests, not reliant on expert interpretation for "ground truth."
  • Clinical Testing: The text mentions "multiple clinicians reported no adverse events related to the device and assessed performance of all key attributes as acceptable." The exact number or qualifications of these clinicians are not specified beyond their role in performing procedures at clinical sites.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Not applicable as these are objective tests.
  • Clinical Testing: Not specified, beyond the general statement that "multiple clinicians" assessed performance. There is no mention of a formal adjudication process (e.g., 2+1, 3+1).

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for a surgical access port system, not a diagnostic AI device that would utilize such a study design.

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

Not applicable. This device is a manual surgical tool, not an algorithm or an AI-powered system designed for standalone performance.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Non-Clinical Performance Tests: Objective measurements against engineering and materials standards (e.g., force measurements, light intensity, leakage rates, compliance with IEC standards).
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Laboratory results from standardized biological tests (ISO 10993 series).
  • Clinical Testing: Clinician assessment of device performance and adverse event reporting based on real-world use during surgical procedures.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no "training set."

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

Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.
