It is not an AI/ML device, thus direct AI-specific performance metrics are not available.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't provide a direct "acceptance criteria" table with performance results in a single, concise format for each test. Instead, it lists the types of tests performed and states that the device "met the applicable design and performance requirements." For each test, the acceptance criteria are implicitly those defined by the referenced standards (e.g., ISO-8536-4, USP <788>, EN ISO 8536-2, ISO 10993 series) or the in-house test methods mentioned. The performance is reported as meeting these requirements.
Here's a summary of the types of tests and the general reported performance:
| Test Type | Test Method/Standard | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Testing | In-house test methods for various parameters (e.g., Dose Concentration of Delivery Profile, Twist Off Opening Torque, Vial Adaptor Tensile Detachment Force, Vial Adapter Torque Test, Vial Adapter to Vial Penetration Force, Detachment Force of Vial Adapter from Vial, Visual Inspection for Product Damage, 1m Drop Durability, IV Spike to IV Port Attachment Force, Leakage test (IV spike to IV port), IV Spike from IV Port Detachment Force, IV Spike Dimensions, Flow rate, IV Spike Protector Detachment Force, Visual Inspection of Device, Finger Flange Break Force, Short Circuit Test Method, IV Spike Lumen Dimensions, Mass Transfer, Residual Volume). ISO 8536-4 (Leakage, IV Port Tensile Strength), USP <788> (Particulate), EN ISO 8536-2 & 7864 (Fragmentation, Coring). | "Met the applicable design and performance requirements."

| Sterilization | ISO 11135:2014/AMD1:2018 (Ethylene Oxide sterilization). | Achieved a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6. |
| Human Factors Validation | Simulated use sessions with intended users. | "No repeatable patterns of use-related errors." "Validated that recruited nurses, physicians, and pharmacists can operate the subject device safely and effectively." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document explicitly mentions:
- For Fragmentation and Coring tests: "sample size based on EN ISO 7864, Annex B. Section B.4." (Specific number not provided in this document, but directed to the standard).
- For other performance tests, chemical tests, and biocompatibility, specific sample sizes are not detailed in this summary, but would be part of the underlying test reports.
- For the Human Factors Validation Study: "recruited nurses, physicians, and pharmacists". The specific number of participants is not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The studies are conducted by West Pharma. Services IL, Ltd. (Israel-based manufacturer). These are prospective tests performed on the manufactured device, not retrospective data analysis. The data is generated from laboratory testing and simulated use, not from clinical patient data from specific countries.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
- Not Applicable (N/A) for AI/ML device ground truth. This device is a mechanical fluid transfer device. Ground truth is established through adherence to recognized international standards and in-house validated test methods, rather than expert annotation of data.
- For the Human Factors Validation Study, the "experts" are the intended users of the device (nurses, physicians, and pharmacists). Their "qualification" is their professional role and ability to use the device safely and effectively in a simulated environment. The number of such participants is not specified.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- N/A for AI/ML device adjudication. There is no "adjudication" in the context of human expert review of AI outputs for this type of device. The verification processes involve engineering testing and quality control.
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
- N/A. This is not an AI-powered diagnostic/assistance device, so no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- N/A. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- N/A in the AI/ML sense. For this device, "ground truth" equates to:
- Validated engineering specifications and performance benchmarks: Established by international standards (e.g., ISO, USP, EN ISO) and the manufacturer's own design control processes.
- Biocompatibility standards: ISO 10993 series.
- Sterility standards: ISO 11135.
- Human Factors validation: Demonstrated safe and effective use by intended users in a simulated setting.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- N/A. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
- N/A. There is no "training set" and thus no ground truth establishment for such a set.

The subject device related IFU was validated in simulated use sessions with representatives of the intended user groups to establish safe and effective preparation for drug administration by healthcare professionals. An evaluation of the subject device Blister Pack. Carton, and associated labeling were also included.
There were no repeatable patterns of use-related errors resulting in failures, close calls, operational difficulties, or foreseeable misuse of the Vial2Bag Advanced® 13mm admixture device. This Human Factors study validated that recruited nurses, physicians, and pharmacists can operate the subject device safely and effectively per the intended use. The results of this study provided objective evidence and determined that the potential use errors identified in the use-related risk analysis that could lead to serious harm have been mitigated to acceptable levels. All risk control measures were found to be effective.
CONCLUSION 9
In summary, the Vial2Bag Advanced® 13mm Admixture Device, the subject of this Premarket Notification, is as safe, as effective, and is substantially equivalent in its intended use, technology/principle of operation, materials, and performance to the predicate device, Vial2Bag Advanced 20mm Admixture Device (K201415).
