This document pertains to the FDA 510(k) premarket notification for the Medical Thulium Fiber Laser System (UroFiber 60Q) manufactured by Rhein Laser Technologies Co., Ltd. The information provided outlines the device's characteristics and its comparison to predicate and reference devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than detailing a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria for an AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) product.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details, and how ground truth was established for the training set is not applicable and not present in the provided document.
This document describes a traditional medical device (a laser surgical instrument), and the testing described is primarily for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility, as well as a comparison of its technical specifications and intended use against legally marketed predicate devices.
Here's a breakdown of what the document does provide, and why it doesn't fit the requested AI/SaMD criteria:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
-
Acceptance Criteria (as implied by FDA 510(k) for a device like this): Substantial equivalence to a predicate device in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness. This is demonstrated through non-clinical performance data (compliance with general and particular medical device standards) rather than clinical performance metrics or AI algorithm performance metrics.
-
Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Performance data supports that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate/reference devices for its intended use." Specific performance aspects tested include:
- Safety of Laser Products (IEC 60825-1:2014)
- Medical Electrical Equipment (IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020)
- Electromagnetic Disturbances (IEC 60601-1-2:2014+AMD1:2020)
- Particular Requirements for Surgical Laser Equipment (IEC 60601-2-22:2019)
- Biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series: Parts 10, 23, 5, 11, 4)
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards & Substantial Equivalence) Reported Device Performance (Compliance) Laser Safety Compliance Complies with IEC 60825-1:2014 Electrical Safety & Essential Performance Complies with IEC 60601-1:2005+AMD1:2012+AMD2:2020 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2014+AMD1:2020 Specific Surgical Laser Equipment Safety Complies with IEC 60601-2-22:2019 Biocompatibility (Skin Sensitization, Irritation, Cytotoxicity, Systemic Toxicity, Blood Interaction) Complies with ISO 10993-10, -23, -5, -11, -4; found to be biocompatible
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
* Not applicable. This isn't an AI/SaMD. The "test set" in this context refers to the physical device being tested against recognized consensus standards for electrical, laser, and biological safety. The "data provenance" specifically for patient data or images (as would be relevant for AI) is not relevant for this type of device submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
* Not applicable. This is not an AI/SaMD. Ground truth, in the AI context, refers to a definitive correct answer for patient data, often established by experts. For this laser device, "ground truth" is adherence to engineering and safety standards, not a clinical assessment of data by experts in the same way.
4. Adjudication Method:
* Not applicable. No clinical data interpretation by multiple readers is described.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
* No. This type of study is specifically relevant for assessing the impact of AI on human reader performance, which is not the subject of this 510(k) submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
* Not applicable. No algorithm performance is being evaluated.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
* Not applicable. For this laser device, the "ground truth" of its safety and effectiveness is demonstrated by its adherence to established national and international engineering, electrical, laser, and biocompatibility standards, and its substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices with a history of safe use. There is no "pathology," "outcomes data," or "expert consensus" in the sense of clinical interpretations for an algorithm.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
* Not applicable. This device does not involve a training set as it is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
* Not applicable. No training set exists for this device.
In summary, the provided document is a standard FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for a physical medical device (a laser system), not an AI/SaMD. Therefore, it does not contain the specific information requested regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies for an AI device.
