The Fibers are indicated for use in general surgical applications for incision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation of soft tissue. It is also indicated for use in open or closed endoscopic applications where incision, excision, tissue dissection, excision of external tumors and lesions, complete or partial resection of internal organs, tumors or lesions, tissue vaporization, hemostasis and or coagulation may be indicated. The neoLaser Laser Surgery Fibers have a wavelength range of 450 nm to 2100 nm, can be used in contact mode and are indicated for use in general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, dermatology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, ENT and endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein in the patient with superficial vein reflux and laser assisted lipolysis with a cleared compatible laser marketed for the mentioned intended uses and using an SMA 905 connector.
The neoLaser Laser Surgery Fibers are sterile, single use, laser delivery devices intended for medical applications in various fields of laser surgery. They are intended to deliver energy to soft tissue in contact and non-contact mode during various surgical applications, including via endoscopes and cytoscopes. The fibers are designed to transmit energy from the laser system to the treatment site, as well as to transmit a low power laser aiming beam to assist in the visibilty of the target tissue.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the neoLaser Laser Surgery Fibers. It describes a medical device and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, BeaMed Laser Surgery Fibers (K232769). This type of submission relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trials to prove efficacy from scratch.
Therefore, the document does not outline acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/algorithm-based medical device performance study. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating equivalence through comparison of technical characteristics and performance bench testing.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:
- The device is a physical medical instrument (laser surgery fibers), not an AI/algorithm-based device. The questions about MRMC studies, human reader improvement with AI, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment for training/test sets are relevant to AI/ML medical devices, not simple surgical tools.
- The 510(k) pathway for this device is based on "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device. This means the manufacturer proves the new device is as safe and effective as an already cleared device through comparison of specifications, materials, and bench testing, not through new clinical performance studies against defined acceptance criteria for a novel technology.
- The document explicitly states: "Animal or clinical studies: None." This confirms that performance studies in the way you've outlined for AI/ML models (with test sets, ground truth, expert readers, etc.) were not conducted or required for this 510(k) submission.
However, I can extract information regarding the device's characteristics and the types of "performance" assessments that were deemed sufficient for this 510(k) clearance, even though they don't align with the typical AI/ML study framework you've described.
Based on the provided document, here's an attempt to address the prompt's points, reinterpreting them for a physical medical device clearance based on substantial equivalence:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) submission for a physical device like this are primarily demonstrated through substantially equivalent technical specifications and material properties to a predicate device, along with successful bench testing to ensure safety and functionality. The document presents a comparative table rather than an acceptance criteria table.

Performance Bench Testing included in the submission (serving as "proof"):
- Packaging seal strength
- Dye penetration test
- Packaging microbial barrier
- Shelf-life validation summary
- Sterilization process validation plan
- Sterilization process validation protocol
- Sterilization process validation report
- Sterility Assurance Level (SAL)
- EO-ECH residuals report

The success of these tests (implicitly, meeting pre-defined thresholds for each) serves as the "reported device performance" that proves the device's safety and functionality for a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
Not applicable. This is for a physical device, and the submission explicitly states "Animal or clinical studies: None." The "tests" mentioned are bench tests on the device itself or its packaging/materials, not performance studies with human data. Therefore, concepts like sample size for a test set of patient data or data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) are not relevant here.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. No "ground truth" was established in the context of an AI/ML algorithm's performance against human expert interpretations or pathology. The evaluation is based on engineering and material specifications, and physical bench testing results.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There was no test set requiring expert adjudication.
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 not an AI/ML algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. The "ground truth" for this device's clearance is its conformity to engineering specifications, material standards, and successful completion of bench tests (e.g., sterilization efficacy, biocompatibility).

Dear Gil Shapira:
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 (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"
