Used for more accurate placement of pneumothorax decompression devices than the current standard of care auditory assessments. The Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator is a colorimetric capnography device indicated to detect the carbon dioxide in the gas passing through the device used to treat pneumothorax with suspected tension physiology.
The Pneumeric Capnospot Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator is a capnography device that provides objective, real-time feedback during decompressive thoracostomy. Specifically, the device detects the presence of carbon dioxide in the gas from the decompressed pneumothorax, permitting more accurate placement of the needle or thoracostomy device compared to the current standard of care based upon auditory assessments.
The Pneumeric Capnospot is a therapeutic device intended to guide the placement of pneumothorax decompression needles and thoracostomy devices.
The product consists of a cylindrical polycarbonate tube containing a carbon dioxide detecting paper. The device has a male luer connector on the distal end of the device to connect to decompression needles and thoracostomy devices, a diaphragm to prevent backflow of gases, a color changing indicator and a female luer on the proximal end of the device that can be used to connect accessories.
The product is shipped non-sterile and labeled for single use only.
The provided text describes a medical device called the "CapnoSpot™ Pneumothorax Decompression Indicator" and its 510(k) submission to the FDA. However, the document does not contain information about a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy, particularly concerning an AI-driven component or human reader assistance.
The document discusses "Performance Data" in section 6.5, but this section focuses on design verification and shelf-life tests (visual inspection, dimensionals, backflow, cracking pressure, torque, luer leakage, animal data) to ensure the device meets specifications, rather than clinical performance metrics in humans or AI-driven acceptance criteria.
The 510(k) submission for this device is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Turkel Pneumothorax Kit K923028), rather than demonstrating clinical efficacy or AI performance through a comparative study.
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot fulfill the request to describe acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them in the context of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or human reader improvement with AI. The document does not provide details on:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to diagnostic accuracy.
- Sample size used for a test set, its provenance, or how ground truth was established for such a test set.
- Number of experts and their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
- Adjudication method for a test set.
- Whether an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or its effect size.
- Whether a standalone AI performance study was done.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for diagnostic performance.
- Training set sample size or how its ground truth was established.
The "Performance Data" refers to engineering and durability tests, and an "Animal Data" point is mentioned, but no details of a study with acceptance criteria for a diagnostic/AI performance are present.

Dear Johnathon Aho:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
{1}------------------------------------------------
devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
