The REGER Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula is indicated for use in patients undergoing a laparoscopic procedure. It is designed to deliver sterile irrigation fluids to surgical sites during laparoscopic procedures and to lavage blood and tissue debris from the surgical site.
The REGER Medizintechnik Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula is a sterile, single use stainless steel cannula with a polymer handle that is intended to nebulize irrigation fluids into the body during laparoscopic procedures. The sterile irrigation fluid is delivered from an injection pump (not provided) through the polymer tubing and into the stainless-steel shaft. The shaft has internal mechanics that deliver the fluid as microscopic droplets in a fine mist. The REGER Medizintechnik Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula is designed with a precision orifice at the tip for the deployment of a precise nebulized spray of irrigation solution into the laparoscopic cavity.
The REGER Medizintechnik Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula is straight and measures between 243-245 mm from Tip to the end of the handle with a shaft diameter ranging from 3.0 - 8.0 mm. The orifice at the head of the cannula shaft ranges in diameter of 0.17mm to 0.2mm. The REGER Medizintechnik Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula also contains a 10' flexible 3.15mm outer diameter polymer tube at the handle end for attachment to attached to irrigation fluid injection pump (not provided) via a luer fitting.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the REGER Nebulizer Irrigation Cannula, which is a medical device and not an AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) powered device. Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, study details, human-in-the-loop performance, and training data for an AI/ML model is not applicable to this document.
This document describes a medical device seeking 510(k) clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The "performance data" section it refers to are for functional and biocompatibility testing of the physical cannula device, not for the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:
- No AI/ML Component: The device is a physical cannula intended to deliver irrigation fluids during laparoscopic procedures. There is no mention of any software, AI, or machine learning component.
- Device Performance vs. Algorithm Performance: The document discusses the performance of the physical device (e.g., irrigation flow rate, spray angle, droplet size) and its biocompatibility. It does not discuss the performance of an AI algorithm, such as sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
- No Test Set/Training Set: Since there's no AI/ML model, there are no test sets, training sets, ground truth established by experts, or adjudication methods for AI performance.
- No MRMC Study: A Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) study is relevant for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human readers, which is not applicable here.
- No Standalone Algorithm Performance: There is no algorithm to be evaluated in a standalone manner.
In summary, the provided text describes the regulatory clearance process for a physical medical device and does not contain any information related to the acceptance criteria or performance study of an AI/ML device.

Dear Mr. Kleinhenz:
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 (the 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 available 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.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
