Intended Use

The Cell Robotics Lasette is intended for use for skin perforation and establishing capillary blood access for blood sampling. The Cell Robotics Lasette is indicated for use by qualified healthcare workers for perforation of the skin to draw capillary blood from healthy adult patients for subsequent determination of blood glucose concentration and hematocrit using colorimetric measurements.

Device Description

The Cell Robotics Lasette laser skin perforator is a portable battery operated laser device. The device produces a single pulse of laser light which ablates a small hole in a patient's fingertip comparable to that produced by commonly used stainless steel blood lancets. The complete Lasette product includes the Lasette. its labeling and manual, and single-use sanitary (non-sterile) plastic iqns shelds. The Lasette uses a small convection-cooled erbium: YAG solid state laser with a maximum output energy of 0.5 J per pulse at a wavelength of 2.94 micrometers and a pulse width of 300 microsconds. This energy is focused on a target spot with a diameter of 300 micrometers.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the "Lasette™ LASER SKIN PERFORATOR" and its 510(k) summary, but it primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to existing devices and performance standards for laser products. It does not contain a detailed study with specific acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the format requested.

However, based on the information provided regarding the "Performance Data," I can infer and construct a response to the best of my ability, highlighting what is present and what is missing.

Here's an analysis based on the available text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format, nor does it provide detailed numerical results for each criterion. It broadly states conclusions from the studies.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Clinical Performance:
Effect on reliability of analytical results (blood glucose, hematocrit)Results of glucose and hematocrit determinations are not significantly affected by use of the device.
Technical Performance (In Vitro):
Accuracy of output energy indicatorRepresents output energy to within 20% of the indicated value.
Penetration depthApproximately half of the depth predicted by the equation d=H/F.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for either the clinical human trial or the in vitro testing.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Clinical Trial: A "human clinical trial" was directed toward determining the effect of use upon reliability of analytical results. The country of origin is not specified, but the applicant (Cell Robotics, Inc.) is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, suggesting a US-based study is likely. The text implies a prospective study since it was "directed toward determining."
    • In Vitro Testing: "Certain in vitro testing has been done to establish reliability of output energy calibration and depth of penetration." Details on specific provenance are not given.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • This information is not provided in the text. The concept of "experts" and "ground truth" in the context of reading clinical data (like blood glucose or hematocrit) is not discussed. The clinical trial focused on whether the device's use affected the reliability of subsequent measurements, implying the measurements themselves (glucose, hematocrit) were performed by standard laboratory methods, not interpreted by experts in the context of device performance.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • This information is not provided as the nature of the study (determining effect on analytical results and technical specifications) does not typically involve adjudication in the way image analysis or diagnostic studies might.

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:

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a laser skin perforator, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool that human readers would use or improve with.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • This question is not applicable to the Lasette device as described. It is a physical medical device for blood sampling, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Clinical Trial: The "ground truth" implicitly refers to the accurate determination of blood glucose concentration and hematocrit using established colorimetric measurements. The study aimed to show that the Lasette's use did not alter these standard measurements.
  • Technical Testing: For output energy, the ground truth would be a calibrated measurement of the laser's actual energy output. For penetration depth, it would be a physical measurement of the wound depth post-ablation.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • This information is not provided and is not applicable. The Lasette is a physical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • This information is not provided and is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

Summary of the Study:

The "Performance Data" section describes two main types of studies:

  1. Human Clinical Trial:

    • Purpose: To determine if using the Lasette impacts the reliability of subsequent blood glucose and hematocrit measurements.
    • Finding: "Results of glucose and hematocrit determinations are not significantly affected by use of the device."
    • Missing Information: Sample size, details of study design, precise methodology, statistical significance levels, country of origin, and whether it was prospective/retrospective are not explicitly detailed beyond the general statement.
  2. In Vitro Testing:

    • Purpose: To establish reliability of output energy calibration and depth of penetration.
    • Findings:
      • Output energy indicator is within 20% of the indicated value.
      • Penetration depth is approximately half of the depth predicted by a theoretical equation (d=H/F).
    • Missing Information: Sample size for these tests, specific methods used for calibration and depth measurement.

In conclusion, the document provides high-level summaries of performance data but lacks the granular detail of specific acceptance criteria and study methodologies often found in more comprehensive technical reports or clinical trial summaries. The focus of the 510(k) submission is on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" and adherence to laser safety standards rather than extensive clinical efficacy or detailed performance metrics against quantitative acceptance criteria for blood sampling.
