Device Description

GC Irrigator

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a device called "GC Irrigator". This document indicates that the device has been found substantially equivalent to previously marketed devices for colon cleansing.

However, this document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details as requested in your prompt.

The 510(k) clearance process focuses on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and while it requires demonstration of safety and effectiveness, the document provided here does not detail the specific performance metrics and studies used to achieve that. It essentially states that the device is cleared for its stated indications for use, but not how that determination was reached in terms of specific performance data.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request with the provided input. To answer your questions, I would need a different type of document, such as a product's technical specifications, a clinical study report, or a detailed submission summary that includes performance data.

§ 876.5220 Colonic irrigation system.

(a)
Identification. A colonic irrigation system is a device intended to instill water into the colon through a nozzle inserted into the rectum to cleanse (evacuate) the contents of the lower colon. The system is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of the colon during the administration of the colonic irrigation. The device consists of a container for fluid connected to the nozzle via tubing and includes a system which enables the pressure, temperature, or flow of water through the nozzle to be controlled. The device may include a console-type toilet and necessary fittings to allow the device to be connected to water and sewer pipes. The device may use electrical power to heat the water. The device does not include the enema kit (§ 876.5210).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) when the device is intended for colon cleansing when medically indicated, such as before radiological or endoscopic examinations.(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is intended for other uses, including colon cleansing routinely for general well being.
(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. A PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before December 26, 1996 for any colonic irrigation system described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before December 26, 1996 been found to be substantially equivalent to a colonic irrigation system described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other colonic irrigation system shall have an approved PMA in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
