Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the LSVP International Hot Biopsy Forceps and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically seen in performance studies for AI/ML devices.

This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting a separate performance study against predefined acceptance criteria for a novel technology. The "study" here is implicitly the comparison to predicate devices and adherence to general controls.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be directly answered from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Cannot be provided directly. The document doesn't define explicit acceptance criteria or report specific device performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) in the way an AI/ML device study would. The acceptance is based on the device being "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices.

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

  • Cannot be provided. No specific test set or data provenance is mentioned. The substantial equivalence is based on design, function, and intended use comparison.

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

  • Cannot be provided. No ground truth establishment by experts for a test set is mentioned.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Cannot be provided. No test set or adjudication method is described.

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

  • Cannot be provided. This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study is mentioned.

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

  • Cannot be provided. This is a physical medical device (forceps), not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Cannot be provided. No specific ground truth is referenced for performance testing. Substantial equivalence relies on comparison to existing devices.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Cannot be provided. This is not an AI/ML device, and no training set is relevant.

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

  • Cannot be provided. Not applicable.

Summary based on available information:

The document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the LSVP International Hot Biopsy Forceps. The "study" in this context refers to the demonstration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices already on the market.

  • Acceptance Criteria (Implicit): The primary acceptance criterion for a 510(k) is demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. This is achieved by showing similarities in design, function, and intended use.
  • Reported Device Performance (Implicit): The reported "performance" is that the LSVP International Hot Biopsy Forceps are "similar in design, function, and intended use to the currently marketed reusable Olympus hot biopsy forceps." This implies that its safety and effectiveness are comparable to the predicate devices.
  • Predicate Devices: Reusable Hot Biopsy Forceps manufactured by Olympus, Microvasive Corp., Fujinon, Inc., and Mill-Rose Labs.

The device's review and marketing approval explicitly state: "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976..." This is the core "proof" in this type of submission.

Dear Ms. Pesotchinsky:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours.
