Device Description

The Oasis Medical SOFT PLUG® Extended Duration 180 Tapered Canalicular Plug is a mid-term duration device designed to be inserted through the punctal opening into the canaliculus in order to block tear drainage through the lacrimal drainage system for approximately 180 days. The plugs are made from degradable polydioxanone monofilament colored violet with D&C No. 2. The plugs are 2.0mm long and have a base diameter of 0.6mm with one end tapered to enable easier placement through the punctal opening.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) summary for a medical device, the SOFT PLUG® Extended Duration 180 Tapered Canalicular Plug. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on presenting novel acceptance criteria or a dedicated clinical study with AI or human readers for device performance.

Therefore, many of the requested categories (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document, as they pertain to clinical studies or AI performance evaluation, which are not detailed here.

However, based on the provided information, I can offer the following:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative, measurable way for a primary clinical outcome. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by showing that the new device is as safe and effective. The "performance" described is primarily related to non-clinical testing confirming that the changes in the device (specifically the tapered geometry) do not negatively impact its fundamental characteristics compared to the predicate.

Criteria CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implied from Substantial Equivalence and Testing)Reported Device Performance (from Non-Clinical Testing)
BiocompatibilityDemonstrate biocompatibility (no adverse biological reactions).Biocompatibility testing from predicate (K162361) leveraged, with cytotoxicity testing confirming manufacturing process does not affect toxicology.
Degradation RateMaintain similar degradation rate as the predicate device.Accelerated in-vitro degradation studies confirm manufacturing process does not affect degradation rate.
Sterile Barrier & Packaging IntegrityMaintain sterile barrier and packaging integrity during shipping.Shipping study (ISO 11607, ASTM D4169, ISTA 2A) supports suitable packaging and unaffected sterile barrier.
Material CompositionMaintain same material as the predicate device.No differences in material; both use polydioxanone monofilament with D&C Violet Number 2 dye.
FunctionalityNo differences in function compared to the predicate device."No differences in the function of these devices."
Safety and EffectivenessAs safe and effective as the predicate device.Non-clinical performance tests demonstrate the device is "as safe and effective as the predicate device."

Relevant Study/Testing:

The study that "proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" (in the context of substantial equivalence) is comprised of non-clinical performance tests detailed in the "Summary of Non-clinical Testing" section. These tests were conducted to confirm that the modification (tapered end) did not alter the fundamental safety and performance characteristics from the predicate device.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the document. The document describes non-clinical testing (biocompatibility, degradation, shipping) but does not specify sample sizes for these tests or their provenance. This type of information is typically not included in the public 510(k) summary but would be found in the full submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable as the document does not describe a clinical study involving experts establishing ground truth for diagnostic or interventional performance. The testing described is non-clinical.

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

This information is not applicable as the document does not describe a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.

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

This information is not applicable. This document is for a physical medical device (canalicular plug) and does not involve AI or human readers for diagnostic or interventional tasks.

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

This information is not applicable. This document is for a physical medical device and does not involve an algorithm or AI.

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

This information is not applicable as the testing is non-clinical and relies on validated laboratory methods (e.g., ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity, ASTM F1635 for degradation, ISO 11607/ASTM D4169/ISTA 2A for shipping) rather than clinical ground truth types.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. This document is for a physical medical device and does not involve machine learning or a training set.

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

This information is not applicable. This document is for a physical medical device and does not involve machine learning or a training set.
