The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 is indicated for use with the compatible disposable autoinjector to capture and record injection information that provides feedback to the user.
The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 is an optional, battery operated, reusable device designed to be used together with a compatible autoinjector (a single use, needle based, pre-filled injection device for delivery of a drug or biologic into subcutaneous tissue). Figure 1 shows the SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 with the paired autoinjector. The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 records device data, injection data and injection process status. The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 also provides guidance feedback to the user during the injection.
Note that the SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 does not interfere with autoinjector function.
The provided 510(k) clearance letter details the substantial equivalence of the SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 device to its predicate. While it lists various performance tests and standards met, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria values or detailed study results for metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or improvement in human reader performance. This document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the new device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate, due to similar technological characteristics and adherence to relevant safety standards.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design (sample size, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC studies), and ground truth establishment (especially for AI-driven performance) cannot be extracted directly from this regulatory document. The information primarily pertains to hardware, software, and usability testing.
However, based on the provided text, here's what can be inferred or stated about the device's acceptance criteria and proven performance:
Device: SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25
Indication for Use: The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 is indicated for use with the compatible disposable autoinjector to capture and record injection information that provides feedback to the user. Specifically compatible with Novartis/Sandoz Secukinumab (Cosentyx).
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not provide a table with quantitative acceptance criteria and reported performance values for metrics typically associated with AI/software performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of data capture in a clinical context). Instead, it focuses on meeting established engineering, safety, and quality standards.
Here's a summary of the types of performance criteria implied by the successful completion of the listed tests:
| Acceptance Criterion (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Achieved) | Supporting Test / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | Meets requirements for intact skin contact. | ISO 10993-1, -5, -10, -23 |
| Compatibility with Autoinjector | No negative impact on Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) of compatible YpsoMate 2.25ml autoinjector. | ISO 11608-1:2022, ISO 11608-5:2022 (Influence Testing) |
| Basic Safety | Complies with general safety standards. | IEC 60601-1, Ed.3.2 2020-08 |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | Complies with EMC standards. | IEC 60601-1-2:2014 incl. AMD 1:2021 |
| Battery Safety | Complies with battery safety standards. | IEC 62133-2:2017 + A1:2021 |
| Wireless Communication (FCC) | Complies with FCC regulations for wireless devices. | FCC 47 CFR Part 15B, Part 15.225, Part 15.247 |
| Wireless Coexistence | Complies with standards for wireless coexistence. | IEEE ANSI USEMCSC C63.27-2021; AIM 7351731:2021 |
| Software Verification & Validation | Documentation level "enhanced," meets requirements for safety, cybersecurity, and interoperability. Software classified as B per ANSI AAMI ISO 62304:2006/A1:2016. | FDA Guidance on Software Functions, ANSI AAMI ISO 62304, Cybersecurity Testing, Interoperability testing |
| Electrical Hardware Functionality | BLE, NFC, inductance measurement, electromechanical switches, motion detection, temperature measurement all functional. | Electrical Hardware Requirements Testing |
| Indicator & Feedback Systems | Visual (LEDs with specified wavelength/intensity) and acoustic (adjustable sound volume) feedback systems are functional. | Electrical Hardware Requirements Testing |
| Durability & Lifetime | Meets specifications for switching cycles, 3-year storage, 2-year or 120-use operational lifespan, and operational tolerances. | Electrical Hardware Requirements Testing, Lifetime and Shelf Life Testing |
| Mechanical Integrity | Withstands use force, axial/twisting loads on inserted autoinjector, and maintains locking flag visibility. | Mechanical Testing |
| Shelf Life | Achieves a 3-year shelf life. | Shelf Life Testing |
| Human Factors/Usability | Complies with human factors engineering standards; formative and summative usability evaluations completed. | IEC 60601-1-6:2010/AMD2:2020, ANSI AAMI IEC 62366-1:2015 + AMD1 2020 |
| Transportation Safety | Maintains integrity after transportation simulation. | ASTM D4169-22 |
| Dose Accuracy (Influence) | Meets ISO 11608-1 requirements when evaluated with compatible YpsoMate AutoInjectors. This is related to the autoinjector's performance when used with the SmartPilot, not the SmartPilot's accuracy in measuring dose itself, as it states the SmartPilot "does not capture dosing information." | Influence Testing based on ISO 11608-1:2022 |
Note: The device's primary function is to "capture and record injection information that provides feedback to the user," and it "does not capture dosing information" or "electronically controlled dosing." Therefore, criteria related to dosing volume accuracy or AI interpretation of medical images/signals for diagnosis are not applicable to this device. The focus is on the accurate capture of event data (injection start/end, result) and providing timely feedback, as well as general device safety and functionality.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes various types of tests (e.g., Biocompatibility, EMC, Software V&V, Mechanical, Lifetime, Human Factors), but does not specify the sample sizes used for each test dataset.
Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given that Ypsomed AG is based in Switzerland and the testing references international and US standards, the testing likely involved a mix of internal validation, third-party lab testing, and possibly user studies in relevant regions. All tests described are part of preclinical (non-clinical) performance validation, making them inherently prospective for the purpose of demonstrating device function and safety prior to marketing.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not mention the use of experts in the context of establishing ground truth for the device's functional performance, as it is not an AI-driven diagnostic or interpretative device that relies on human expert consensus for its output. Its performance is evaluated against engineering specifications and physical/software functional requirements. The "Human Factors" testing would involve users, but not necessarily "experts" adjudicating correctness in the sense of accuracy for a diagnostic task.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The device's performance is determined by meeting pre-defined engineering and regulatory standards and testing protocols, not by expert adjudication of its output, as it does not produce subjective or interpretative results like an AI diagnostic algorithm.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not performed/applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for AI systems that assist human readers in tasks like image interpretation to demonstrate improved diagnostic accuracy. This device is an "Injection Data Capture Device" providing feedback and recording information; it does not involve human readers interpreting data that the device enhances.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
While the device has software and algorithms to detect injection events and provide feedback, the document does not report "standalone" performance metrics in the way an AI diagnostic algorithm would (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). Its performance is demonstrated through the verification and validation of its hardware and software components (e.g., ability to detect spring position, successful data transfer, correct LED/audible feedback). The "Influence Testing" evaluates its performance in conjunction with the autoinjector, proving it does not negatively interfere.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the verification and validation of this device is engineering specifications, physical measurements, and adherence to established regulatory and industry standards. For example:
- Biocompatibility: Measured against established thresholds for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation.
- EMC/Safety: Compliance with current versions of IEC standards.
- Software V&V: Compliance with software lifecycle processes and cybersecurity standards, and correct execution of defined functions (e.g., data recording, feedback activation).
- Mechanical/Lifetime: Physical measurements (e.g., activation force, dimension checks), cycle counts, and functional checks after simulated use/aging.
- Human Factors: User performance and subjective feedback against usability goals.
There is no "expert consensus," "pathology," or "outcomes data" ground truth in the context of its direct function (data capture and feedback).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning system that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense (i.e., for learning to perform a complex, data-driven task like image recognition or diagnosis). Its functionality is based on programmed logic and sensor readings, not statistical learning from a large dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for the type of device described. Input signals (e.g., from the inductive sensor about spring position) are processed based on predefined engineering parameters and logical rules to determine injection status, not learned from a dataset.

IV. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Both the predicate device and the subject device are an accessory/add-on to autoinjectors which guide the user throughout the self-injection process, provide feedback on the completeness of the injection, record data related to the injection, and transfer this data to a companion App.
Also, both the subject device and the predicate device are handheld devices that are intended to be used with compatible injection devices: pre-filled syringes (or pre-filled autoinjectors for the subject device). The subject device has similar dimensions and uses similar materials as the predicate device cleared under K222689. Both the subject device and predicate device feature visual and audible indicators at the start and end of dose to ensure medication is administered correctly. Both the subject and the predicate device provide the same nature of the visual indicators (LEDs for the subject device and the predicate device). Both the subject and the predicate device do not have any drug contact. Both the subject and the predicate device meet requirements for intact skin contact according to ISO 10993-1. Both the subject and the predicate device meet ISO 11608-1 requirements for dose accuracy when evaluated together with their respective compatible devices. Both the subject and the predicate device do not digitally display the dose. Both the subject and the predicate device do not perform any electronically controlled dosing. Both the subject and the predicate device meet IEC 60601-1 requirements for Electrical Safety. Both the subject and the predicate device provide a full dose history displayed on a mobile application. Both the subject and predicate devices Medicine Identification is manually selected by the user during setup and displayed on a mobile application during dosing. For both the subject device and the predicate device the electronic data for dose information is as follows: dose-related data is recorded and dose information is displayed on a mobile application.
Both the subject device and the predicate device have no mechanism to drive a hypodermic needle.
Differences include the use of an inductive sensor in the subject device to monitor injection progress whereas the predicate device uses a motion sensor. While the subject device does not capture dosing information and is only compatible with disposable autoinjectors (patient cannot adjust the dose on the compatible autoinjectors), the subject device is able to record, store and transfer injection data. The subject device is for Rx use, while the predicate device is for OTC use. The user of the subject device inserts autoinjector while for the predicate device, the user attaches Mallya base and button to the compatible disposable insulin pen. While the predicate device meets Cybersecurity Testing requirements and Software V&V per FDA guidances, the subject device additionally meets IEC 62304 requirements and Enhanced Documentation Level. The predicate device is provided together with a mobile application, while the subject device has a mobile application optionally. While the predicate device meets ISO 11608-1 requirements for Dose Accuracy when evaluated with compatible insulin pens, the subject device meets ISO 11608-1 requirements for Dose Accuracy and additionally Activation Force, Injection Time, and Visual/audible feedback when evaluated with compatible YpsoMate AutoInjectors (influence testing with compatible YpsoMate AutoInjectors).
However, since the subject device does not drive the injection process, these minor technological differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.
To substantiate this evidence-based justification, kindly find the following aspects:
Do the different technological characteristics of the device raise different questions of safety and effectiveness? NO
Per FDA's Guidance The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications [510(k)], "a 'different question of safety or effectiveness' is a question raised by the technological characteristics of the new device that was not applicable to the predicate device and poses a significant safety or effectiveness concern for the new device."

Page 8
Intended Use: Same in that both devices are intended to detect, record, and transmit injection/dosing information. However, the specific information being detected is partially different than the predicate.
Indications for Use: The product is intended to be used with different combination product brands. Further, the type of combination product is different, autoinjector vs. prefilled pen injector. This does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.
Compatible Drugs: The different combination product brands also contain different drugs that address different treatment indications and populations (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis vs. insulin). However, the differences do not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. This has been fully considered in the provided risk management documentation.
Rx use/OTC: SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 is intended for prescription use only. This does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness (restricted to HCP professional recommendation) when compared to the predicate device and is incompatible with combination products for which it is not intended.
Functionalities: Different, due to added method of interaction/communication (NFC). This doesn't raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. Technology evaluated for safety and effectiveness per same standards/guidance documents. Similar controls required.
Mechanism for capturing information: Different as the SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 detects the position of the spring, while the Mallya adapter detects dose dialed through rotational detection mechanism. Methodology is different but intended use is the same. Thus this does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness when compared to the predicate device as the determination of detection accuracy is the same question, with no difference in risk.
Wireless Connectivity: Different, due to added method of interaction/communication (NFC). This doesn't raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. Technology evaluated for safety and effectiveness per same standards/guidance documents. Similar controls required.
Data Captured: SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 doesn't report the volume of injection but detects the spring position (which indirectly correlates to injection time) to determine and report success and type of injection to the end-user. Mallya also detects dialed dose. This does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness as the difference of fixed dose vs. variable dose is an evaluation of risk. There is comparable risk with determining volume delivered vs the binary determination of injection complete or incomplete. Both are indicators of accuracy.
Data Storage: This is unknown for the predicate and therefore assumed different than the predicate. Does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness as the same question of whether the product stores this information accurately is asked of both products.
Power Source: The SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 cannot be recharged but the predicate can. This does not raise new or different questions of safety & effectiveness, as the questions are the same, can the product adequately perform through the proposed use-life. This has been tested. Even though the product is design and tested for its full lifetime, the product notifies the user adequately by a solid amber light that the battery is low (see section 2.1.1 of the attached file: "Product Description SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25"). In the case of battery death the SmartPilot does not interfere in the injection function of the YpsoMate, and the YpsoMate injection can be performed safely without any interference by SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25.
Ypsomed believes that the SmartPilot YpsoMate NS-A2.25 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the information summarized in the table below:
