FLARETM single-use surgical laser fiber is intended to be used to deliver the laser radiation to the target tissue when used with compatible surgical lasers with operational wavelength between 532 nm-2140 mm and equipped with SMA 905 compatible connector.
FLARETM single-use surgical laser fiber is indicated for use in general surgical applications for open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, coagulation of soft tissue and for lithotripsy.
FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber is designed, manufactured by Realton (Suzhou) Medical Technology Co., Ltd.. The optical fiber material is fused quartz. One end of the fiber is connected to the medical laser equipment through a connector, and the other end directly outputs laser energy for laser operation. The product is sterilized by EO. It is a disposable medical device.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding a medical device, the FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and comparison to a predicate device.
However, the document does not contain information about a study that assesses a device's performance against specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/human-in-the-loop study, or a standalone algorithm performance study.
The "Performance testing" section on page 6 states: "Performance testing was conducted on FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber. Technical parameters about dimension, optical performance and mechanical strength were evaluated in the performance testing. In addition, the shelf life was evaluated. All of the tested parameters met the predefined acceptance criteria."
This statement refers to engineering and material performance tests (e.g., optical properties, mechanical strength, dimensions, shelf life) of the laser fiber itself, not a clinical study involving human readers or AI for diagnostic or interpretative tasks. Therefore, the detailed information requested in the prompt (acceptance criteria for a clinical study, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI/diagnostic performance) is not present in this document.
In summary, the provided document does not contain the information needed to answer the prompt's specific questions regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance related to diagnostic accuracy, human-in-the-loop performance, or AI algorithms. The "performance testing" described is for the physical and functional aspects of the laser fiber for its intended surgical application, not for a diagnostic or AI-assisted interpretation task.

including fiber core diameter, fiber outer diameter, fiber length, maximum transmission power, minimum bending working radius. The subject device is different from the predicate in the connector and laser system compatibility. However, these differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The technological differences can be evaluated through the performance testing provided.
SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 7.
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber was conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1:2018, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" as recognized by FDA. The biocompatible testing included the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5: 2009) ●
- Sensitization - (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- Intracutaneous reactivity - (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- Systemic toxicity - (ISO 10993-11:2017)
- Hemocompatibility (ASTM F756-17)
Performance testing
Performance testing was conducted on FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber. Technical parameters about dimension, optical performance and mechanical strength were evaluated in the performance testing. In addition, the shelf life was evaluated. All of the tested parameters met the predefined acceptance criteria.
8. CONCLUSION
The subject device has the same intended use as the laser fibers of the predicate device. The differences between the subject device and the laser fibers of the predicate device do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the performance testing report demonstrate that FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber should perform as intended in the specified application conditions.
From the results of non-clinical data including the performance testing described, Realton (Suzhou) concludes that FLARE™ single-use surgical laser fiber is as safe and as effective as the laser fibers of the predicate device.
