AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solutions. This type of submission is for medical devices that are substantially equivalent to a predicate device already on the market. It does not typically involve clinical trials or a study to prove performance against specific acceptance criteria in the way a novel AI/software device would. Instead, substantial equivalence is demonstrated through comparative analysis of technological characteristics and non-clinical testing.

Therefore, many of the requested categories for a study proving device meets acceptance criteria are not applicable to this particular submission type and product.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, indicating where information is not applicable:

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

(Statement of Intended Use)

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 (N/A): This submission is for a pharmaceutical/delivery device (inhalation solution), not an AI/software device that would use a "test set" in this manner. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through non-clinical laboratory testing and adherence to USP standards. No clinical trials or patient data sets (retrospective/prospective) are mentioned.

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)

  • N/A: No "ground truth" for a test set in the context of an AI/software device. The compliance is against established USP monographs and industry standards.

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

  • N/A: Not applicable to this type of device and submission.

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

  • N/A: This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, so an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

  • N/A: This is not an algorithm-based device.

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

  • Standard Specifications and Monograph Requirements: The "ground truth" (or benchmark for performance) for this device is based on established USP (United States Pharmacopeia) monograph requirements for Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution and criteria for direct food and drug contact for the container materials. It also relies on the performance characteristics of predicate devices (K884359, K870332, Travenol Laboratories pre-1976, Wyeth Laboratories pre-1976).

8. The sample size for the training set

  • N/A: This is not an AI/software device that uses a "training set."

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

  • N/A: Not applicable to this type of device and submission.

7. Non-Clinical and Clinical Testing

The component materials of the accessory device container have been substantiated to each meet criteria for direct food and drug contact or additive respectively. The formulation components of the filled device solution have been substantiated to each meet their respective USP monograph criteria. Each of the finished devices undergoes testing to meet the stated USP monograph and container criteria.

Clinical testing is not necessary to show substantial equivalence for either safety or efficacy of intended use to the predicate devices as there are several various in vitro analytical methods (assay; fill uniformity; sterility; container integrity) and physical-chemical characteristics (solution properties; unit configuration) available which demonstrate this equivalence.

Summary Conclusions 8.

The subject devices:

0.45% and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution, USP

as manufactured by Holopack International, LP of Columbia, SC claim substantial equivalence, with the same intended use, to several devices which were manufactured prior to 1976 or which have received market clearance through established equivalence.

These devices are designed to meet the current USP specifications. The device containers have embossed unit identification and shelf carton labeling so that label requirements are met.

Analytical testing to the stated specifications demonstrates that these devices will have comparable safety and efficacy in use.

The devices, as manufactured by Holopack, are produced using dark-side/white-side blow-fill-seal technology on rommeLag® machines specifically designed for aseptic filling operations. These manufacturing systems represent a technological advance for the production of these types of devices. The details of the aseptic manufacturing processes and environment are referenced under confidentiality.

Dear Mr. Zahn:

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 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 current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Mr. Walter Zahn

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.
