The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called the "Heelbo Wrap Around Vest." This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not for proving novel safety and effectiveness through clinical studies with acceptance criteria in the typical sense of AI/algorithm performance.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI algorithm, specifically:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details.
- The type of ground truth used for any such studies.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing:
- Intended use
- Technological characteristics (design, materials, manufacturing, physical/mechanical specifications)
- Safety and effectiveness
Here's a summary of what the document does state regarding safety and effectiveness:
- Intended Use: The device is intended to help support and prevent patients from slumping/sliding forward in a wheelchair or geriatric chair, and to limit patient movement in bed/gurney to prevent falls or climbing over side rails.
- Technological Characteristics Comparison: The document explicitly states: "The subject devices are identical in intended use, design, materials, manufacturing process, physical and mechanical specifications and issues of safety and effectiveness to the devices prior to the submission of this notification."
- Biocompatibility: The materials are identical to predicate devices, and suppliers have a history of safe use in the clothing and garment industry. Heelbo, Inc. is unaware of reports or complaints of skin irritation.
- Conclusion: Based on the information, the proposed Heelbo Wrap Around Vest is concluded to be "safe and effective for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device."
In essence, the "study" demonstrating safety and effectiveness in this context is a detailed comparison to an already cleared predicate device, rather than a clinical trial with statistical performance metrics.
