The Disposable Injection Needle is intended to be used in conjunction with an endoscope to perform endoscopic injections, such as for the treatment of esophageal and gastric varies and for submucosal dye marking in the GI tract.

Device Description

The Disposable Injection Needle is a sterile, single-use device as a kind of accessories for digestive endoscopy. The Disposable Injection Needle is intended to be used in conjunction with an endoscope to perform endoscopic injections, such as for the treatment of esophageal and gastric varies and for submucosal dye marking in the GI tract.

The Disposable Injection Needle is designed to insert through the suitable endoscope's forceps to inject harden agent to target lesion in treatment for bleeding of esopha-gastric varix or to mark the lesions of the digestive tract.

The Disposable Injection Needle has different model specifications depending on different working length and the needle size.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for a Disposable Injection Needle. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that the device meets specific acceptance criteria for a complex AI/software-driven medical device. Therefore, the requested information, which pertains to such a study (sample sizes, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI/ML models), is not present in the provided text.

The document discusses non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate that the Disposable Injection Needle meets design specifications and performs comparably to a predicate device. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML-driven one.

Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document doesn't provide a direct "acceptance criteria" table in the sense of performance metrics for an AI/ML model (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it lists various physical and chemical performance tests for the medical device. The "acceptance criteria" for these tests would be meeting the specified thresholds or demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device. The "reported device performance" is that the tests were carried out and demonstrated substantial equivalence.

Non-Clinical Performance Tests Performed:

Test CategorySpecific Tests PerformedReported Performance
Material/Device SafetyBiocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Skin Sensitization, Skin Irritation, Acute/Subacute Systemic Toxicity, Pyrogen Test)Complies with ISO 10993 standards and FDA guidance.
SterilizationEO sterilization validation (ISO 11135, ISO 11737-2, ISO 10993-7, USP <85>)Validated according to applicable standards.
Shelf Life & PackagingAccelerated Aging (ASTM F1980), Packaging Requirements (ISO11607-1, ISO11607-2), Seal Leaks (ASTM F 1929, ASTM D 3078), Microbial Barrier (DIN 58593-6), Seal Strength (ASTM F88/F88M), Shipping Performance (ASTM D4169)Validated according to applicable standards.
Bench PerformanceAppearance, Dimension, Bond Strength, Operational performance, Puncture Performance, Liquid leakage, Injection connector (Luer connector), Patency of lumen, Corrosion Property, Chemical performanceTests carried out, demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate.

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for specific tests. The document mentions tests were performed on "both the subject device (Alton Disposable Injection Needle) and the predicate device (Anrei Single Use Injection Needle)." It doesn't specify the number of units tested for each.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical or image data. The "data" here refers to the results of bench testing. There is no mention of country of origin of data, nor whether it's retrospective or prospective, as these terms apply to clinical studies.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument, not an AI/ML system that requires expert annotation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests would be established by validated test methods and reference standards.

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

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human readers or interpretation.

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 is not an AI-assisted device. The document explicitly states: "N/A, no clinical studies are available for the subject device."

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):

The ground truth for this device's performance is based on established engineering and materials testing standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP) and the performance of the legally marketed predicate device. For example, for biocompatibility, the ground truth is compliance with ISO 10993. For mechanical performance, it's demonstrating equivalence to the predicate and meeting specified functional requirements.

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.

In summary: The provided FDA 510(k) summary is for a physical medical device (Disposable Injection Needle) and demonstrates substantial equivalence through non-clinical bench testing against a predicate device and adherence to recognized standards. It does not contain the information requested regarding AI/ML device performance studies, as those types of studies (MRMC, standalone algorithm performance, expert adjudication, ground truth for training/test sets) are not relevant to this specific device submission.

VI. Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device

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

{8}------------------------------------------------

Discussion on differences between the subject device and the predicate device

Discussion 1: Both devices share the same structure except an additional bushing is used in the subjective device to protect the needle, and such difference will not change the intended use and clinical performance of the subjective device. in addition, all mechanical performances an chemical performances between the subject device and the predicate device have been performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence between subject device and predicate device, such difference will not affect the clinical performance and safety of the subjective device.

Discussion 2: There are two specifications (1.8mm; 2.4mm) related to Outer Tube diameter of the needle for the subject device. 2.4mm specification is same as the predicate device. 1.8mm specification is applicable for smaller endoscopic working channel, different from the predicate device. As the size of the outer diameter is designed to be compatible with the smaller size of the endoscopic working channel during the surgical procedure, in addition, the 1.8mm specification has been available on the other marketed device (K212668). Therefore, such differences will not affect clinical performance and safety of the subject device.

Discussion 3: There are two specifications (Φ2.0mm; Φ2.8mm) related to minimum endoscopic working channel for the subject device. Φ2.8mm specification is applicable for types of the subject device with outer tube diameter of the needle (2.4mm) and this @2.8mm specification of the subject device is same as the predicate device. Φ2.0mm specification is applicable for types of the subjective device with

{9}------------------------------------------------

smaller outer tube diameter of the needle (1.8mm), different from the predicate device. As the size of the minimum endoscopic working channel is only used to ensure the appropriate size of the injection needle applied during the surgical procedure, and such differences will not affect clinical performance and safety of the subject device. Discussion 4: there is less optional needle size specifications of the subject device than ones of the predicate device, therefore, such differences will not affect clinical performance and safety of the subject device.

Discussion 5: the needle length specification of the subject device are more than ones of the predicate device, as different needle length is to meet different requirement for different lesion injection or marking, such differences will not affect clinical performance and safety of the subject device.

Discussion 6: The bench performance tests, including mechanical performance and chemical performance, were carried out on both the subject device and the predicate device according to specific product technical specification and the test results demonstrate substantial equivalence between subject device and predicate device. therefore, such difference will not affect effectiveness and safety of the subject device.

VII. Summary of substantial equivalence discussion

Based on the above comparison table as well as discussion on differences, the subject device and the predicate device have similar design features and performance specifications. Although there are some differences on size specification parameters (e.g. outer tube diameter, applicable endoscopic working channel, working length, needle size and needle length) on the subject device and predicate device, such differences will not affect the effectiveness and safety of the subject device. In addition, a performance comparison testing between the subject device and the predicate device is implemented and all performances including mechanical property and chemical property are verified to confirm the performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. These technological differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device when used as labeled.

VIII. Summary of Non-clinical Data
