The Cassette Autoclave (ACA5) is a dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) table-top steam sterilizer intended for use by a health care provider to sterilize medical products by means of pressurized steam. The Cassette Autoclave (ACA5) consists of five modules: water supply, disinfection, air dry, exhaust steam processing and control system.
The main working principle is as follows: The water supply module supplies clean distilled water to the disinfection module. Inside the steam generator, the electric heating element generates high- temperature saturated steam at 121℃ for a period of 4 minutes and 134℃ for a period of 30 minutes. This steam is then utilized within a sealed disinfection box to sterilize instruments. During sterilization, excess high- temperature steam is condensed in the exhaust steam processing module. After the sterilization, high- temperature steam and coolant water remain inside the disinfection box. Air dry cycle works for ventilation and drying. Ultimately, you can get the dry and sterile instruments.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter is for a Cassette Autoclave (ACA5), which is a steam sterilizer. This type of device is an electromechanical product, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device. Therefore, the information typically requested about acceptance criteria and studies for AI/ML performance (such as sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and standalone performance) is not applicable to this document.
The document discusses the device's performance in terms of its ability to sterilize medical instruments, adhering to established standards for steam sterilizers.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, focusing on the relevant acceptance criteria and performance metrics for a sterilizer:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Cassette Autoclave (ACA5)
This device is a medical instrument sterilizer. The performance criteria provided are related to the physical efficacy of sterilization, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact number of cycles or units tested for each performance metric. It states "The device had been validated to comply with the following bench testing." These are laboratory bench tests performed on the physical device itself, not studies on patient data. The provenance of this data is from the manufacturer's non-clinical testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. Ground truth for sterilizer performance is established by metrological standards (temperature, pressure, moisture measurements) and microbiological testing (biological indicators), not by human expert consensus on diagnostic images.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Performance is measured against physical and biological thresholds, not requiring expert adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML diagnostic or image interpretation device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is an electromechanical sterilizer. Its "performance" is its ability to meet the physical and biological parameters of sterilization, which is inherently a "standalone" function of the machine.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this type of device is based on accepted international standards for sterilization and electrical/electromagnetic safety. This includes:
- Precise physical measurements (temperature, pressure, vacuum, moisture content).
- Microbiological challenge tests using biological indicators to confirm the inactivation of spores to a specified sterility assurance level (SAL).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a manufactured electromechanical device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable for the reason stated in point 8.

Dear Iris Fung:
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 (the 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.

Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
