2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for each specific test (e.g., how many syringes were tested for each mechanical property, or how many biological samples were used for biocompatibility tests). However, for medical devices cleared via 510(k), it is expected that sufficient samples were used to meet the statistical requirements of the referenced ISO standards for design verification and validation.
- Data Provenance: The studies were bench tests and biocompatibility evaluations. The data would be prospective, generated specifically for this 510(k) submission, likely conducted at the manufacturer's facilities or accredited testing labs. The country of origin for the data generation is not explicitly stated, but the manufacturer is based in Republic of Korea.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This type of information is generally not applicable for a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device like a syringe. The "ground truth" for these tests comes from adherence to established international engineering and biological standards (ISO, USP). There isn't a subjective "ground truth" established by human experts in the way there would be for an AI-based diagnostic tool. The "experts" are the engineers and scientists conducting the tests according to the specified protocols.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for establishing consensus "ground truth" in human-in-the-loop diagnostic studies, typically involving image interpretation. For physical device performance, the results are quantitative measurements against predefined pass/fail criteria established by engineering standards.
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:
Not applicable. This device is a physical syringe, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This device is a physical syringe, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements and results from standardized bench tests and validated biological assays as defined by:
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards (e.g., ISO 7886-1, ISO 80369-7, ISO 10993 series, ISO 11135, ISO 11607, ISO 23908).
- United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines (e.g., USP <85>, USP <788>).
These standards define the acceptable performance characteristics for syringes and needles.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This device is a physical product and does not involve AI/ML requiring a "training set" in the computational sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable for the same reason as above.

A Equivalence discussion
Different #1 – Indication for Use
The Indications for Use statement for the subject device is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use for the aspiration of fluid from vials, ampoules and liquid injection. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.
Different #2 - Nozzle Configuration
The configuration of PLPT LDV LC Sterile Syringe is similar as the configuration of predicate device, the
{6}------------------------------------------------
difference is that propose device has luer-cone nozzle type. However, the syringe with luer-cone type is widely used in the clinical. Whether the nozzle type is a luer-cone or luer-lock type, this will not affect the indication for use of the equipment itself. To validate this claim, performance testing was conducted. In accordance to internationally recognized standard(ISO 7886-1). it is proved that nozzle configuration of subject device conforms with relevant standard. Also, requirements per ISO 80369-7 was validated with subject device. Therefore, the differences on configuration do not raise new questions about its safety and/or effectiveness.
Different #3 - Capacity (Syringe Volume)
Although the configuration of PLPT LDV LC/LL Sterile Syringe is similar to the configuration of predicate devices, the capacity of the subject device is different per predicates. However, this change is just in dimension. This difference does not alter the any rise potential risks per its intended use. Other aspects (e.g., Biocompatibility) are same with the predicates. Performance testing was conducted for this change, and it was confirmed that the differences on configuration do not raise new questions about its safety and effectiveness.

A Equivalence discussion
Different #4 - Indication for Use
The Indications for Use statement for the subject device is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use for the injecting fluids into or withdraw from parts of the body below the surface of the skin. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.
Different #5 - Needle gauge and length
The overall configuration of PLPT LDV LL/LC Sterile Syringe's needle component is similar as the configuration of predicate device; the difference is that propose device has more variable needle configurations. However, the needle configuration is widely used in the clinical. Whether the different needle configurations are present, this will not affect the indication for use of the equipment itself. To validate this claim, performance testing for the needle component was conducted. In accordance to internationally recognized standard (ISO 7864, it is proved that needle configuration of proposed device conforms with the relevant standard. Therefore, the differences on configuration do not raise new questions about its safety and/or effectiveness.
Different #6 – Safety features
The safety features for each device are identical with each other. Although the configuration of the needle size (cannula's length, gauge) is more variable compared to the predicate device (K210444), See Different #5), the safety guard's mechanism is not affected by its configurations. The design of the safety feature shows that the safety feature performance is dominated by the linkage between the holding component. For this reason, if the structure of the holding component is identical each device will show exact same performance. Referring to the attached product design, this component's structure is identical, and predicate device's safety feature was tested with ISO 23908 and confirmed that it complies with the standards. Therefore, the subject and predicate device's safety features have performance, which is concluded that the difference per the configuration of the needle dimensions does not affect its substantial equivalence on safety and effectiveness.
