Intended Use

Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe is intended for use in flushing compatible intravenous administration sets and indwelling intravenous access devices. Use according to the recommendations of the manufacturer for the appropriate device.

Device Description

Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe is a polypropylene syringe filled with 0.9% sodium chloride for injection. It contains 3ml, 5ml and 10ml and consists of tip cap, barrel, piston, and plunger. This is a single use, disposable device(s), provided sterile.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through non-clinical testing. It does not describe a study involving an AI/CADe device or human readers. Therefore, I cannot provide information regarding acceptance criteria and studies typical for AI/CADe devices, such as those related to multi-reader multi-case studies, effect size of AI assistance, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment for training and test sets in an AI context.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the non-clinical (bench) tests conducted on the Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness.

Here's the information based on the provided text, specifically from Section VII "Summary of Non-clinical Testing (Bench)":

Note on ISO standards in the table: There appears to be a typo for test IDs 4.2 and 4.3 in the provided document (ISO 10995 instead of ISO 10993 for biocompatibility tests). I have kept the text as written but noted the likely correct standard.

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

  • Sample Size: "Real time aged samples from three non-consecutive lots were tested for all performance criteria."
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the test samples or explicitly state if the study was retrospective or prospective. It implies prospective testing of manufactured lots.

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

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical, bench testing study for a physical medical device, not an AI/CADe device requiring expert-established ground truth from medical images or patient data.

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

Not applicable, as this is bench testing. The results are based on objective measurements against established standard criteria.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is not an AI/CADe device, and the study did not involve human readers or AI assistance.

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

Yes, in a sense. The "device" in this context is the physical syringe. The performance tests conducted are standalone tests of the device itself (its materials, chemical contents, physical properties, and biocompatibility), without specific human-in-the-loop performance measurement beyond standard laboratory procedures.

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

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by internationally recognized consensus standards (e.g., ISO, USP, AAMI TIR) which define the acceptable limits and test methodologies for the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the device.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set or ground truth establishment for it.

Dear Zhang Shunlin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

§ 880.5200 Intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
