The product is sterilized by ethylene oxide and is single use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for an "Introducer Needle" device. It outlines the device's comparison to a predicate device and the performance data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. However, it does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning device or a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.

The performance data section (9. Performance Data) details physical and chemical performance testing, biocompatibility testing, and packaging/shelf-life testing, which are standard for medical devices like introducer needles. These tests are to demonstrate the device meets design requirements and performs as intended, but they do not involve acceptance criteria related to algorithmic performance, expert image interpretation, or human reader improvement with AI assistance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, a study proving device meets acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or ground truth establishment in the context of an AI/ML device, as this document pertains to a physical medical device.

Here's what I can extract from the provided text regarding the physical device's "acceptance criteria" and "performance data" if interpreted broadly:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Physical Device)

The document doesn't explicitly list "acceptance criteria" in a table format with specific quantitative thresholds that need to be met for each test for the "Introducer Needle." Instead, it states that "Performance testing was performed in accordance with applicable clauses in ISO 9626-2016 and ISO 7864-2016" and that the testing was "to demonstrate that the Introducer Needle met applicable design requirements." The conclusion then states, "The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the Introducer Needle will perform as intended."

However, based on the performance tests listed, we can infer the "acceptance criteria" are implied by meeting the standards of ISO 9626-2016 (presumably for stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices) and ISO 7864-2016 (likely for sterile hypodermic needles for single use).

Here's a representation of the implied acceptance criteria based on the testing performed, and the "reported performance" is that the device met these criteria.

8. Substantial equivalence discussion:

Different 1 - Lengths/Sizes

This difference is in diameter and length. Different diameter device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. Moreover, a small diameter difference has little effect on the product safety performance; For different length, B-ultrasonic and endoscopic double positioning was used at the time of surgery, the length difference did not affect the safety and efficacy of the product.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Different 2 - Primary structure

The Percutaneous Entry Set is comprised of a Skinny Needle® with Chiba Tip, a Disposable Two-Part Trocar Needle, 8 dilators and a wire guide. The function and structure of new device is similar to Disposable Two-Part Trocar Needle of Percutaneous Entry Set. The reasons are:

  1. Disposable Two Part Trocar Needle has a trocar tip, which is used for free flow of urine indicators proper positioning. Our product can be used in conjunction with a fiber optic endoscope during puncture to achieve visual puncture and directly see whether the puncture has reached the expected position. it does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness for patient, it only increases the operation requirements for doctors

  2. New device does not have a trocar tip, but we have conducted Stiffness and Resistance to breakage tests to ensure that the needle tube will not break without a trocar tip, so it will not be affected by safety and effectiveness.

Different 3 - Materials

The materials of direct contacting component puncture body are different. The new device is 304 Stainless Steel, materials of predicate device are 304 Stainless Steel and Low-Density Polyethylene; The materials of indirect tissue-contacting components are different, but the whole device passed the biological test.

Different 4 - Shelf Life

The difference in shelf life does not affect the product.

Substantial Equivalence discussion:

The subject devices have similar indications for use, methods of operation, and fundamental technological characteristics as the predicate device. Differences between the subject devices and the predicate device include design specifications, dimensions, and materials. Characteristics of the subject devices that differ from the predicate device are supported by testing.

9. Performance Data:

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

9.1 Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Introducer Needle was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:

Skin Sensitization Intracutaneous Reactivity Acute Systemic Toxicity

{7}------------------------------------------------

Pyrogen

9.2 Physical and chemical performance testing. Performance testing was performed in accordance with applicable clauses in ISO 9626-2016 and ISO 7864-2016,The following testing was performed to demonstrate that the Introducer Needle met applicable design requirements.

  • flow test penetration force Stiffness Resistance to breakage Bond between hub and needle tube ultrasound detection Corrosion Test

9.3 Packaging and shelf-life testing

Sterilization Packaging Shelf-life

10. Conclusion:

The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the Introducer Needle will perform as intended. The new devices do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. In conclusion, the results of these tests support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
