The Revi System is indicated for the treatment of patients with symptoms of urgency incontinence alone or in combination with urinary urgency.
The Revi™ System is an implanted tibial electrical urinary continence device that wirelessly receives power from a non-implanted external wearable unit to provide electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve in proximity to the ankle. The device is intended for the treatment of urge urinary incontinence, alone or in combination with urinary urgency. The implantable device is implanted in the vicinity of the tibial neurovascular bundle. The treatment effect of the system is achieved by the implantable wireless neurostimulation component, which sends pulses to the tibial nerve when energized by the wearable unit transmitted power. The electrical pulses stimulate the nerve along the leg, reaching the sacral plexus and entering the spinal cord. This stimulation has the power to modulate nerve function, relieving symptoms.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding the Revi™ System, a medical device for treating urgency incontinence. It outlines the FDA's determination of substantial equivalence to a predicate device and includes a 510(k) summary with device specifications and a discussion of performance testing.
However, the document does not contain the detailed information required to answer your specific questions concerning acceptance criteria, device performance, sample size, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies. The "Discussion of the Performance Testing" section is very brief and only mentions non-clinical benchtop testing for verification, not clinical studies with human participants that would generate performance metrics against specific acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table or answer most of your questions based solely on the provided text. The document refers to "verification testing to ensure identical specification to predicate," which implies that the acceptance criteria for this 510(k) may have been tied to demonstrating that the new device (v4.3 software) performs comparably to the predicate device (v4.1.2.5 software) in bench tests.
Here's what I can extract, recognizing the limitations:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated, inferred from verification testing) | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
|---|---|---|
| Stimulation Frequency Control | Compliance with range and accuracy specifications. | Verified to comply with specifications. |
| Charging Mode Protection | Protection operates in compliance with specifications. | Verified to comply with specifications. |
| System Performance | Compliance with technical specifications. | Verified to comply with technical specifications. |
| Software Verification | Requirements met, including cybersecurity. | Verified, including cybersecurity testing. |
| Human Factors/Usability | No new critical tasks introduced by v4.3 software compared to predicate. | No new critical tasks introduced. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document only mentions "non-clinical benchtop testing." It does not specify a human "test set" and therefore no sample size, country of origin, or whether it was retrospective or prospective.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable as no human test set or ground truth establishment by experts for performance evaluation is described in the provided text. The testing mentioned is for device specifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as no human test set or adjudication process is described.
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:
- This device is an implanted neurostimulation system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study and effects on human readers are not relevant and not mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- The performance described is essentially standalone in the sense that it's benchtop testing of the device's technical specifications. There's no "human-in-the-loop performance" described in the context of accepting the device's efficacy, only human factors/usability analysis to ensure no new critical tasks were introduced.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for the verification testing appears to be the defined technical specifications of the device and its predicate, rather than clinical outcomes or expert consensus on a disease state.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This document describes verification testing, not the development or training of an AI model.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through benchtop verification testing for a software update to an implanted medical device, not on clinical performance studies involving a test set, ground truth, or an AI algorithm.

Dear Jason Woehrle:
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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Summary of the Technological Characteristics IX.
The modified Revi System with v4.3 software is identical to the predicate Revi System with v4.1.2.5 software in terms of indications for use, intended use, operational principle, design and is equivalent in terms of software function. The differences between the modified Revi System and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Identification of Legally Marketed Devices X.
Revi System (DEN220073) Note: The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.
- XI. Discussion of the Performance Testing
Non-clinical benchtop testing was conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of the modified Revi System.

Verification testing to ensure identical specification to predicate included the following:
- stimulation frequency control to ensure range and accuracy compliance with ● specification
- charging mode protection to ensure protection operates in compliance with . specification
- system performance to ensure system performance in compliance with technical . specification
- software verification to verify software requirements, including cybersecurity ● testing
A human factors/usability evaluation of the Revi™ System with v4.3 software and a gap analysis with the predicate device found that no new critical tasks were introduced by the subject device.
Conclusion XII.
The Revi™ System with v4.3 software has been shown through testing and comparison to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
