ulricheasyINJECT Max is a syringeless contrast media management system that is designed for the controlled, automatic venous administration of contrast media in conjunction with physiological saline solution to human subjects underqoing diagnostic examinations in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI or PET MRI).
The ulricheasyINJECT Max device consists of a terminal, injector, and tubing system. The injector is a mobile pedestal device that consists of an injector base with rechargeable battery. The tubing system is the only component that comes in contact with the patient and has indirect contact with the blood path of a patient for a limited duration (few minutes). The tubing system consists of the following three components:
- . Spikes,
- . Easy-Click-Cassette - flex
- . Patient Tubing
The ulricheasyINJECT Max uses a peristaltic pump as part of the injector which is designed to transport the media fluid through the tubing system (spikes, cassette, and patient tubing), ulricheasylNJECT Max is intended to be used with the following components that are not supplied with the system:
- Saline containers,
- Single-dose contrast media bottles, and .
- . Cannula.
ulricheasylNJECT Max is equipped with multiple hardware and software controls that work together for the safe operation of the intended use of the system. Controls include air detect the presence of air in the tubing system without direct contact with the medium, pressure controls to manage and regulate pressure inside the tubing system, and check valves to prevent backflow of media and avoid retrograde contamination.
The ulricheasyINJECT Max is provided in three models:
- . ulricheasyINJECT Max 2M (XD 10140),
- . ulricheasyINJECT Max 3 (XD 10150), and
- . ulricheasyINJECT Max 3 (XD 10180).
The Max 3 models have 3 media connection points: 1 NaCl and 2 Contrast Media connections. The Max 2M has 2 media connection points: 1 NaCl and 1 Contrast Media connections. Max 2M and Max 3 are technically identical except the different available media connection points.
The ulricheasyINJECT Max system, a contrast media management system, underwent a comprehensive study to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, ulrichINJECT CT motion (K192872). The study focused on non-clinical testing to ensure its safety and effectiveness for its intended use in magnetic resonance (MR) applications.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't explicitly list "acceptance criteria" for each test in a numerical or pass/fail format. Instead, it states that "Verification results indicate that the ulricheasyINJECT Max tubing system complies with the standard" or "conforms to its predetermined specifications." The "Comparison" column in the Comparative Analysis table acts as a high-level summary of performance against the predicate.
Below is a table summarizing the areas tested and the reported performance based on the provided text:
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Conformance with established performance criteria for overall system and software. | Software verification and validation performed. |

| Safe and effective operation by users. | Human Factors / Usability assessments performed in a simulated use environment. Results demonstrated that users can operate ulricheasyINJECT Max as safely and effectively as the predicate device. |
| (Differentiation from predicate that does not raise new safety/effectiveness concerns) | Extensive comparative analysis (Table in the document) highlights differences in indications for use (CT vs. MRI), environment of use (CT vs. MR), accessories, disposables, weight, dimensions, remaining volume readout, pressure limit, injection pause, priming/venting rate, air detection principle, occlusion detection alarm limit, time limit for disposables, patient tubing components, and tubing materials. For each difference, the document states: "This difference does not change the intended use of the device. The safety and effectiveness of the ulricheasyINJECT Max has been confirmed through [specific testing, e.g., MR compatibility testing, chemical compatibility testing, and Safety / EMC testing]". |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for the test sets used in the non-clinical studies (e.g., number of units tested for EMC, number of samples for chemical compatibility). It refers to the tests performed and their general outcomes.
The data provenance is from non-clinical testing performed by ulrich GmbH & Co. KG, for the purpose of a 510(k) premarket notification. This indicates the data is prospective in the context of device validation. The "country of origin of the data" is not explicitly stated but the submitter is based in Ulm, Germany.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
This information is not applicable as the described studies are non-clinical (bench testing, software validation, biocompatibility, etc.) and do not involve human readers or refer to "ground truth" in the context of expert review of clinical cases.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes non-clinical testing and comparison to a predicate device, not a study evaluating human reader performance with or without AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
Yes, the studies described are analogous to standalone performance evaluation for the device's functional and safety aspects. The software and various physical parameters (e.g., flow rate accuracy, air detection) were tested independently of human intervention during the functional tests, demonstrating the device's inherent performance. Human Factors/Usability assessments considered human interaction but focused on the device design's safety and effectiveness, not the clinical performance of an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" was established by recognized industry standards and predetermined specifications for device performance, safety, and material properties. Examples include:
- IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety and EMC.
- ISO 11135:2014 for sterilization.
- ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility.
- ISO 8536-4:2010 (applicable requirements) for infusion equipment performance.
- Internal predetermined specifications for aspects like flow rate accuracy ($\pm$ 5%), volume accuracy ($\pm$ 5%), air detection limit (0.05 mL), and alarm limits.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. The document describes a contrast media injector system, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a separate training set. The "software verification and validation" refers to traditional software testing, not machine learning model training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable as there is no mention of an AI/ML training set.
