The 24 hour use Endoscopy Irrigation Tubing (tubing and accessories to accommodate various GI endoscopes and irrigation pumps) is intended to provide irrigation via a sterile water bottle during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures when used in conjunction with an irrigation pump.
The Endoscopy Irrigation Tubing is intended for 24-hour use and then discarded. The endoscopy irrigation tubing is manufactured for use in conjunction with sterile water bottle, and together with irrigation pumps. The endoscopy irrigation tubing is individually packed in sealed package, sold as a sterile device. The endoscopy irrigation tubing is designed to be attached to the auxiliary water connector or biopsy irrigation accessory and to be inserted into pump head of the irrigation pump to provide irrigation through the auxiliary water channel to the distal end of endoscope.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the "Endoscopy Irrigation Tubing" device. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that the device meets specific performance criteria through a rigorous clinical trial or AI model validation.
Therefore, many of the requested sections related to AI model validation, ground truth establishment, expert consensus, MRMC studies, and effect sizes cannot be directly extracted from this document, as the device is not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic tool. The document describes a medical device (tubing) and its physical and chemical properties and basic performance.
However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and the type of study done to prove the device meets these criteria as described for this specific type of medical device submission.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the relevant points and indicating where information is not applicable due to the nature of the device:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in the provided text. The "Performance Test" states "bench testing was performed" but does not give sample sizes for devices tested.
- Data Provenance: The tests are analytical bench tests, not clinical data from patients. The manufacturer is Zhejiang Chuangxiang Medical Technology Co., LTD., located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, P.R. China. The data would originate from their internal testing or contracted labs. It is not retrospective or prospective in the clinical sense.
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 medical device (tubing), not a diagnostic or AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by compliance with engineering standards, material properties, and functional specifications defined by recognized standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and internal quality control.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm or clinical study requiring adjudication of interpretations. The "test set" involves laboratory measurements and comparisons to predicate device specifications.
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 passive medical tube. There is no AI component, and no human reader interpretation is involved or enhanced.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Engineering Specifications and Standard Compliance: The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance is based on meeting pre-defined physical, chemical, and functional specifications derived from engineering standards (e.g., flow rate requirements, material biocompatibility limits, sterilization efficacy) and demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This is primarily a bench testing and material characterization ground truth.
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 its associated ground truth establishment.
