Device Description

The Knott NG tube is designed to permit withdrawal or introduction of fluids through a tube which is inserted through the nostril and into the stomach.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Knott Nasogastric Tube," seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It is not a study reporting device performance against acceptance criteria in the manner typically associated with clinical trials or diagnostic algorithm evaluations.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, and comparative effectiveness (MRMC) or standalone studies cannot be extracted from this document because such studies were not conducted or reported for this type of device submission.

This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence in design, materials, and intended use as per FDA 510(k) requirements, not on presenting performance data from a clinical study with predefined acceptance criteria.

However, I can extract the following relevant information based on the provided text:

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

The document does not specify "acceptance criteria" for performance in a quantitative sense as would be found in a clinical trial evaluating a novel diagnostic or therapeutic device. Instead, it compares the attributes of the proposed device to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

AttributeAcceptance Criteria (based on predicate device)Reported Device Performance (Knott NG Tube)
Provided in various diametersYes (like predicate)Yes
Double lumen tubeYes (like predicate)Yes
One lumen for suction or fluids / one for ventingYes (like predicate)Yes
Connects to various vacuum sourcesYes (like predicate)Yes
Tip has various holes leading to each lumenYes (like predicate)Yes
May be packaged with reflux valveYes (like predicate)Yes
Tubing has marking for assisting clinicianYes (like predicate)Yes
Pre-formed tip to help with insertion and advancementYes (like predicate)Yes
Made of PVCYes (like predicate)Yes
Provided sterileYes (like predicate)Yes
Performance Standards/Specification applicable under Section 514None applicable (like predicate)None applicable

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable. This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (nasogastric tube), not a study involving a test set of data or human subjects for performance evaluation in the described manner. The submission relies on a comparison to a legally marketed predicate device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. No "test set" or "ground truth" in this context as it's not a diagnostic or AI-based device performance study.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable.

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

Not applicable. This device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study was performed or reported.

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

Not applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm.

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

Not applicable. The "proof" of meeting criteria for this device is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through comparison of attributes (design, materials, intended use), rather than clinical performance against a ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned or implied for this device's submission.

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

Not applicable.

Differences between Other Legally Marketed Predicate Devices

The only difference in the intended device and the predicate device is the pre-formed curve and appropriate markings on the tube to assist the clinician when to rotate the tube while inserting/advancing the tube. This difference is not viewed to be significant when addressing patient safety and effectiveness issues.

Dear Dr. Knott:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above 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 Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 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 (2) CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
