Device Description

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 undergoing 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). ulricheasyINJECT Max is intended to be used with the following components that are not supplied with the system:

  • Saline containers.
  • Single-dose contrast media bottles,
  • IBP contrast media containers, and
  • Cannula.

ulricheasyINJECT 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 detectors to 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),
  • ulricheasylNJECT Max 3 (XD 10150), and
  • ulricheasylNJECT 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.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each test set. It mentions "studies" and "testing" without providing numerical details for the number of units or data points tested in non-clinical assessments.
  • Data Provenance: All non-clinical testing (Software, EMC/Electrical Safety, Sterilization Validation, Shelf Life and Transport Validation, Contamination Control and Rinsing, Biocompatibility, Performance – Bench, Extractables and Simulation, Human Factors / Usability) was performed as part of K233737, indicating it was conducted for the predicate device. Additional chemical compatibility testing was conducted for the current submission (K241850) to support new contrast media. The origin of the data (e.g., country) is not specified beyond being part of ulrich GmbH & Co. KG's submission, implying internal company testing. Studies are described as "non-clinical" and "bench," which means they are not human clinical trials.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. The document discusses non-clinical bench testing, not image-based diagnostic performance involving expert readers establishing ground truth. The "Human Factors / Usability" study confirms the device's safety and effectiveness for its intended users (trained healthcare professionals), but it's not about expert clinical interpretation for a diagnostic algorithm.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. This type of adjudication method is used for establishing ground truth in diagnostic studies involving multiple human readers, which is not described in this document.

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 device is a contrast media management system, not an AI-powered diagnostic imaging tool. Therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (an injector) with software controls, not an algorithm meant for standalone diagnostic performance.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For non-clinical testing, "ground truth" generally refers to established scientific principles, engineering specifications, recognized industry standards (e.g., ISO, IEC), and predetermined specifications for the device's performance. For biocompatibility, it's compliance with ISO 10993-1. For sterilization, it's achieving a specified Sterility Assurance Level. For performance metrics like flow rate and volume accuracy, it's meeting the ±5% specification.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. The document refers to a physical medical device and its controls, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model is mentioned.
