AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "Ventil-A," an oral protector. The letter indicates that the device has been found substantially equivalent to a predicate device. However, this document does not contain specific information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, which includes:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method for a test set.
  5. Results of a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
  6. Results of a standalone (algorithm only) performance study.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is a regulatory approval notice, not a performance study report.

Dear Dr. Abrams:

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 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
