The Syntec, Inc. True Light End Irrigating Endoilluminator is used to illuminate with visible spectrum light the intraocular portion of the eye for improved visualization and to provide irrigation during vitreo-retinal surgery.
The End Irrigating Endoilluminator comprises of five basic components. The handpiece tube. The fiberoptic handle. The fiber optic cable sheath and the cable connector.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Syntec, Inc., True Light End Irrigating Endoilluminator. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a study with performance metrics in the way a novel AI algorithm might.
Therefore, the requested information elements (1-9) which are typically associated with testing and validation of AI/ML-based devices or novel devices with performance claims, are not applicable in this context.
Here's why and what information is available in the document:
- Type of Submission: This is a 510(k) for a medical device (an ophthalmic endoilluminator) that is seeking to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Grieshaber Disposable End Irrigating Light Pipe).
- Focus of 510(k): The core of a 510(k) is to show that the new device has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness as a predicate device. It does not typically involve proving new performance thresholds or conducting extensive clinical trials with acceptance criteria in the manner requested for AI or highly novel devices.
- "Acceptance Criteria" in this context: For this device, "acceptance" is primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence, meaning the device performs similarly to or no worse than the predicate device. The "criteria" are therefore the similarities in intended use, design, materials, and lack of new safety/effectiveness questions.
Information applicable from the document (but not directly answering the AI-centric questions):
- Device Name: Syntec, Inc., True Light End Irrigating Endoilluminator
- Predicate Device: Grieshaber Disposable End Irrigating Light Pipe (K884043)
- Intended Use (for both new and predicate device): To illuminate with visible spectrum light the intraocular portion of the eye for improved visualization and to provide irrigation during vitreo-retinal surgery.
- Similarities noted: Same clinical purpose, similar design, same materials (except for a zinc connector on the Syntec design), materials meet US Pharmacopoeia Class VI criteria and are widely used, device is biocompatible, sterilized using ethylene oxide (validated by overkill method), and the light output intensity and spot size are the same as the predicate device.
- Differences noted: "The only device differences are cosmetic." (This strongly supports substantial equivalence).
In summary, none of the specific questions regarding acceptance criteria tables, sample sizes, ground truth, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies are addressed or relevant to this 510(k) submission document. The document aims to demonstrate equivalence, not to establish new performance criteria through a study.

both substantially equivalent in that they are used for the same clinical purpose, ie: to illuminate with visible spectrum light the intraocular portion of the eye for improved visualization and to provide irrigation during vitreo-retinal surgery.
The devices are of a similar design and are made using the same materials except for the zinc connector used with the Syntec design. The handpiece tube is made of surgical grade stainless steel. The fiberoptic cable is made with a polystyrene core and a polymethylmethacrylate cladding. The fiber optic cable sheath is made of PVC tubing.
The device is biocompatible with the body tissue and fluids that it contacts as it is made of the same materials as the predicate device. These materials meet US Pharmacopoeia Class VI criteria and are widely used in many other medical products. The device is sterilized using ethylene oxide gas which is then validated by the overkill method.
The light output intensity and spot size is the same as the predicate device. The only device differences are cosmetic.

Dear Mr. Weeks:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced Gbove 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.
