Based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Siemens Cios Spin (VA31A), here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which often summarizes testing without providing granular details on study design, sample sizes, and ground truth establishment to the same extent as a full clinical study report. Therefore, some information requested (e.g., specific number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods) may not be explicitly stated in this summary. The focus of this 510(k) is primarily on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, especially for software and hardware modifications, rather than a de novo effectiveness study.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The 510(k) summary primarily focuses on demonstrating that the modifications to the Cios Spin (VA31A) do not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns compared to its predicate device (Cios Spin VA30) and a reference device (CIARTIC Move VB10A) that incorporates some of the new features. The acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to meeting various industry standards and demonstrating functionality and safety through non-clinical performance testing.

Study Details Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria
The study described is primarily a non-clinical performance testing and software verification and validation effort rather than a traditional clinical trial.
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a "sample size" in the context of patients or images for performance evaluation. The testing described is "Unit, Subsystem, and System Integration testing" and "software verification and regression testing." This type of testing uses a diverse set of test cases designed to cover functionality, performance, and safety requirements. For the "Enlarged Volume Field of View," it's a non-clinical test, likely using phantoms or simulated data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in terms of patient data provenance for the non-clinical and software testing described. This is bench testing and software validation. Customer reports and feedback forms are mentioned for human factors, but specific details on their origin (country, etc.) are not provided. The manufacturing site is Kemnath, Germany.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications of those experts:
- Not explicitly stated. For non-clinical performance and software testing, "ground truth" is typically established by engineering specifications, known correct outputs for given inputs, and compliance with industry standards. If clinical use tests involved subjective evaluation, the number and qualifications of experts are not detailed, but they are implied to be "healthcare professionals" (operators are "adequately trained").
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable/Not explicitly stated. For software and bench testing, adjudication usually refers to a process of resolving discrepancies in ratings or measurements. Given the nature of this submission (software/hardware modifications and non-clinical testing), formal clinical adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1 for image reviews) are not described as part of the primary evidence. Acceptance is based on test cases meeting predefined engineering requirements.
-
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:
- No. An MRMC study was not conducted. This 510(k) is for a mobile X-ray system with software and hardware updates, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device where evaluating human reader performance with and without AI would be relevant. The "AI" mentioned (Retina 3D, NaviLink 3D) refers to advanced imaging/navigation features, not machine learning for diagnostic interpretation.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Yes, implicitly. The "non-clinical test 'Enlarged Volume Field of View' testing" and other "Unit, Subsystem, and System Integration testing" for functionality and performance are essentially standalone tests of the device's components and software without immediate human interpretation in a diagnostic loop. The acceptance criteria for these tests refer to technical performance endpoints, not diagnostic accuracy.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Engineering Specifications and Standard Compliance: For the performance and safety testing, the "ground truth" is adherence to predefined engineering requirements (e.g., image dimensions, system response times, electrical safety limits) and compliance with national and international industry standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 14971, NEMA PS 3.1).
- For the Human Factors Usability Validation, "customer reports and feedback forms" serve as a form of "ground truth" regarding user experience and usability.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This submission describes modifications to an X-ray imaging system, not the development of a machine learning algorithm that requires a separate training set. The existing software (VA30) was updated to VA31A. The "training" for the software itself would have occurred during its initial development, not for this specific 510(k) submission.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As above, this information is not relevant to this specific 510(k) submission, as it focuses on modifications to an existing device rather than the development of a new AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set and its associated ground truth.
