Intended Use

MSC SFM is a liquid tissue culture medium product intended for human ex-vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

Device Description

MSC SFM is a serum-free medium specially formulated for the growth and expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSC SFM contains MSC SFM Basal Medium and MSC SFM supplement, MSC SFM supplement is a growth factor that should be added to the MSC SFM Basal Medium when use. Using MSC SFM, human MSCs can be expanded for multiple passages while maintaining their trilineage mesoderm potential (i.e., ability to differentiate into osteogenic and adipogenic lineages). Each container is aseptically filled.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a device called "MSC SFM" by Yocon Biology Technology Company. This document primarily describes the regulatory review process and establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Crucially, this document is for a "Tissue Culture Media For Human Ex Vivo Tissue And Cell Culture Processing Applications" (Product Code: NDS). This is a biological reagent, not an AI/ML-driven medical device that analyzes images or patient data to produce diagnostic or prognostic outputs. Therefore, many of the requested elements regarding acceptance criteria and study design for AI/ML devices (e.g., number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, effect size of human improvement with AI, standalone performance) are not applicable to this type of product and are not found in the provided text.

The acceptance criteria discussed in this document pertain to the performance and safety of the tissue culture media itself, not the performance of an AI algorithm.

However, based on the information provided, here's what can be extracted and inferred, addressing the spirit of the request where applicable to this specific product, and explicitly stating when information is not applicable or not provided in the document for AI/ML-specific criteria.


Device Type: Tissue Culture Media for Human Ex Vivo Tissue and Cell Culture Processing Applications (Biological Reagent)


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document refers to performance standards established in the FDA Guidance Document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Culture Media for Human Ex Vivo Tissue and Cell Culture Processing Applications; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers," issued May 16, 2001. While the specific numerical acceptance criteria for each test are not explicitly detailed in this 510(k) summary, the types of tests performed and the general findings are mentioned.

Acceptance Criteria (Type of Test)Reported Device Performance / Compliance
Validation of aseptic processing (compliance with GMP requirements)"determine that SAL 10-3 compliance with GMP requirements regarding aseptic processing."
Sterility Assurance Level (SAL)"SAL ≥10-3" (This is a target, stated as met via validation.)
Appearance and clarityTested (Results implicitly comply as conclusion is substantial equivalence)
Osmolality TestingTested (Results implicitly comply)
pH value TestingTested (Results implicitly comply)
Sterility TestingTested (Results implicitly comply)
Endotoxin Testing"Bacterial Endotoxin <0.25EU/mL (USP <85>)"
Performance Assay (Demonstrate lack of potential toxicity and support of tissue/cell growth)"Results of the testing demonstrate a lack of potential toxicity of the materials in the media to cells or tissue and demonstrates support of tissue and cell growth."
Shelf Life (at 2-8°C)"The test results support a shelf life of 12 months for MSC SFM."
Biocompatibility"Compliance with the standards of ISO 10993-1, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices'."

Note: The FDA 510(k) summary typically summarizes the results of the testing that support substantial equivalence, rather than providing the detailed raw data or specific numerical acceptance ranges for each test (unless failure of a specific range was a critical point to address). The "Special Controls Guidance Document" would contain the full details of the appropriate acceptance criteria.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each test (e.g., how many batches were tested for sterility, how many cells for performance assay). It refers to "non-clinical data" and "Performance Assay."
  • Data Provenance: The manufacturing company is YOCON BIOLOGY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, located in Beijing, China. The testing would have been conducted by the manufacturer, presumably in China. The data would be prospective in the sense that it was generated for the purpose of demonstrating device performance for this FDA submission.

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 biological reagent, not an AI/ML device requiring human expert annotation of data for ground truth. The "ground truth" for this product is based on established laboratory testing methods, chemical properties, and biological assays (e.g., cell viability, proliferation, differentiation markers, endotoxin levels).


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not Applicable. As there are no human expert readers generating subjective interpretations, there is no need for an adjudication method. Laboratory tests have defined protocols and result interpretations.


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/ML device meant to assist human readers.


6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not Applicable. This document describes a tissue culture medium, not an algorithm.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance of this tissue culture media is established through a combination of:

  • Laboratory Standard Tests: Such as USP <85> for Endotoxin, pH, Osmolality, Sterility Testing.
  • Biological Performance Assays: Demonstrating the medium's ability to "support of tissue and cell growth" and "lack of potential toxicity" for human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), including maintaining their "trilineage mesoderm potential."
  • Compliance with Standards: Adherence to ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device with a training set. The "training" for this product would be the research and development involved in formulating the medium to meet the desired performance characteristics.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not Applicable. As there is no AI/ML training set, this question is not relevant. The "ground truth" during product development would be empirical lab results guiding formulation optimization, similar to the performance tests listed in section 7.
