Device Description

MABIS NB-02 Ultrasonic Nebulizer

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "MABIS NB-02 Ultrasonic Nebulizer." This type of document is a clearance letter, not a study report or technical specification document, and therefore does not contain the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria and study particulars for device performance.

The letter states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it has met the regulatory requirements for clearance based on its similarity to existing devices. However, it does not include:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance: This information would typically be found in a performance data section of a 510(k) submission, not in the FDA's clearance letter. The letter only broadly states equivalence, implying that performance is similar to predicate devices.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: Not mentioned.
  3. Number of experts used to establish ground truth and qualifications: Not mentioned.
  4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not mentioned.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study results: Not mentioned. This type of study is more common for diagnostic devices where human reader performance is a key metric. A nebulizer is a therapeutic device.
  6. Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not applicable as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
  7. Type of ground truth used: Not mentioned.
  8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable for this type of device and clearance.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document ("K990506 Re: MABIS NB-02 Ultrasonic Nebulizer") is a regulatory clearance letter and does not contain the detailed technical or clinical study data requested about acceptance criteria and device performance.

Dear Mr. Bisulca:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 Requlation (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.
