AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for JLK-AILink (K250348) primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (STARPACS™ K031013) for a general medical image management and processing system. The documentation explicitly states that "JLK-AILink is a software that receives digital images and data from various sources... Images and analyzed data with optional modules can be stored, communicated, processed, and displayed..."

However, the provided text does not contain the detailed information required to describe the acceptance criteria and the specific study proving the device meets those criteria for any optional analysis modules. The clearance is for the base platform, which is a medical image management and processing system, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool with specific performance metrics.

The "Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions" section (Page 7-8) states:
"JLK-AILink was designed and developed according to the standards required for software development. For software evaluation, software functionality, risk management, cybersecurity, verification, validation, and requirements were addressed. The evaluation was tested according to the verification and validation processes and planning, and the test results support that all system requirements have met their acceptance criteria and are adequate for their intended use."

This statement confirms that the base system functionality (image reception, storage, communication, processing, display, and features like zoom, magnify, contrast adjustment, Cobb angle measurement, annotation tools) was verified and validated against its design requirements and acceptance criteria, but it does not specify what those criteria were in a quantitative sense, nor does it detail a performance study as one would expect for an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device that provides analytical outputs (e.g., disease detection, segmentation, quantitative measurements relevant to a clinical endpoint).

Therefore, based solely on the provided text, the following information cannot be extracted:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI module: The document describes the system as a general image management and processing system. While it mentions "optional modules" that can expand its "image analysis capabilities," the clearance itself (K250348) pertains to the core platform, not specific AI analysis functionalities that would require detailed performance metrics.
  • Sample size for the test set: Not mentioned.
  • Data provenance for the test set: Not mentioned.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth: Not mentioned, as ground truth for specific AI analysis outputs is not addressed.
  • Qualifications of experts: Not mentioned.
  • Adjudication method: Not mentioned.
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness study: Not mentioned. The focus is on functionality and equivalence to a predicate PACS system, not comparative clinical performance for an AI-assisted workflow.
  • Effect size of human reader improvement with AI assistance: Not applicable based on the scope of clearance described.
  • Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not mentioned, as no specific AI algorithm's performance is described.
  • Type of ground truth used: Not mentioned.
  • Sample size for the training set: Not mentioned.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established: Not mentioned.

In summary: The provided 510(k) clearance letter for JLK-AILink pertains to a general medical image management and processing system (PACS-like functionality), falling under Regulation Number 892.2050 and Product Code LLZ. This product code typically covers systems that handle, display, and process medical images, but does not inherently imply specific AI diagnostic or analytical capabilities that would necessitate the detailed performance study information requested. The "optional modules" are noted, but their specific functionalities and performance (if they are AI-powered analytics) are not covered in this general clearance document.

To answer your questions for an AI-enabled device with specific analytical functions, one would typically need a 510(k) summary that details the performance of those specific AI modules, rather than just the general image management system.
