AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain detailed acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the typical format seen for AI/ML-enabled devices, which often involve metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.

Instead, the document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (CROSSNAV Navigation Enabled Instruments and Universal Navigation Adaptor Set (UNAS)) that primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, particularly concerning its compatibility with additional navigation systems.

However, based on the Performance Data section, we can infer some aspects that align with typical acceptance criteria for this type of device, which revolve around accuracy and functional performance.

Here's an interpretation based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Performance Data)Reported Device Performance (Inferred from Performance Data)
Fulfillment of navigation systems instrument accuracy requirements.Fulfilled (As stated: "Fulfillment of navigation systems instrument accuracy requirements as stated by the navigation manufacturer"). Specific numerical targets not provided.
Acceptable CAD Model Evaluation.Performed (As stated: "CAD Model Evaluation"). Specific outcomes/metrics not provided.
Acceptable Simulated Use Evaluation.Performed (As stated: "Simulated Use Evaluation"). Specific outcomes/metrics not provided.
Demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices in design, materials, and performance.Determined to be substantially equivalent (Stated in Conclusion: "CROSSNAV Navigation Enabled Instruments and UNAS Navigation Arrays are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.").
Compatibility with additional navigation systems (Brainlab Navigation System).Established (Stated in G. Summary: "expands the scope...for compatibility with an additional Navigation System, the Brainlab Navigation System").

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

The document does not explicitly state a "test set" in the context of a dataset for AI/ML evaluation. The performance data listed (Fulfillment of navigation systems instrument accuracy requirements, CAD Model Evaluation, Simulated Use Evaluation) suggests bench testing and internal evaluations rather than a clinical trial with a patient test set. Therefore, information on sample size and data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) for a test set is not available in this document.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This information is not provided in the document as it does not describe a study involving expert review for ground truth establishment. The evaluations mentioned (accuracy requirements, CAD model, simulated use) typically rely on engineering specifications, measurements, and functional testing.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies where multiple human readers interpret data, and a consensus ground truth needs to be established. Since this document does not describe such a study or a test set requiring expert interpretation, an adjudication method is not applicable and not mentioned.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done or at least is not reported in this document. The device is a navigation instrument, not an AI/ML algorithm that assists human readers in interpreting medical images.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

The device itself is an instrument used with navigation systems to assist surgeons, implying it is always used with a human in the loop. It is not an AI/ML algorithm that would have standalone performance in isolation. Therefore, a "standalone algorithm only" performance study is not applicable to this device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Based on the performance data mentioned, the "ground truth" for the evaluations likely involved:

  • Engineering specifications and manufacturer requirements: For navigation systems instrument accuracy.
  • Design specifications and measurements: For CAD Model Evaluations.
  • Pre-defined procedural steps and outcomes: For Simulated Use Evaluations.

This is not clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable and not provided. The device is a physical instrument set, not an AI/ML model that undergoes a training phase with a "training set."

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

This information is not applicable and not provided for the same reason as above.
