The EVAC is indicated to facilitate the evacuation of a chronic or subacute hematoma or hygroma in the cranium. The EVAC is intended for draining of fluid accumulated in the subdural space, including chronic or subacute hematomas and hygromas. The EVAC is also intended for removing air and fluid from the subdural space following open surgical procedures to remove subdural collections.
The Borvo EVAC System is intended for the drainage of subdural fluid accumulations. The EVAC System is designed to gradually drain fluid to an external reservoir by creating a low negative pressure in the subdural space. It consists of 3 components:
-
- EVAC Port (Ergo or Classic)
-
- Tubing
-
- Vacuum bulb
An optional Cranial Access Kit can be purchased with the EVAC System, or a commercially available Cranial Access Kit with a 5.31mm drill bit can be used.
- Vacuum bulb
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter and summary for the Borvo EVAC System. It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets those criteria, as typically found in clinical performance or software validation reports for AI/ML-driven devices.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on:
- Same intended use.
- Similar technological characteristics (with detailed comparisons of materials, dimensions, etc.).
- Performance data from non-clinical testing.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance against those criteria, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details because this information is not present in the provided text.
The "Performance Data" section (Section 1.7 on page 3 of 4) lists the types of non-clinical testing performed, such as:
- Dimensional
- Tensile
- Pull-Out Force
- Simulated Use
- Sterile Barrier/Packaging Testing
- Shelf Life
- Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1)
These tests are typically used to demonstrate the physical and biological safety and performance of a medical device, but they are not related to an AI/ML algorithm's analytical or clinical performance requiring ground truth, expert review, or statistical performance metrics.

Dear Ming Cheng Chew:
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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

§ 882.5550 Central nervous system fluid shunt and components.
(a)
Identification. A central nervous system fluid shunt is a device or combination of devices used to divert fluid from the brain or other part of the central nervous system to an internal delivery site or an external receptacle for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume (e.g., due to hydrocephalus). Components of a central nervous system shunt include catheters, valved catheters, valves, connectors, and other accessory components intended to facilitate use of the shunt or evaluation of a patient with a shunt.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
