Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided documents are a 510(k) clearance letter and an Indications For Use statement for "Hot Biopsy Forceps, Models 1592, 1594, 1596 and 1598." These documents do not contain any information regarding the acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria.

The 510(k) clearance process by the FDA is primarily about demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not necessarily proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through clinical studies in the same way a Premarket Approval (PMA) would.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the following information based on the provided text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present.
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not present.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not present.
  4. Adjudication method: Not present.
  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: Not relevant to this device; this is not an AI-assisted device.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not relevant to this device; this is not an AI algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not present.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not relevant to this device; this is not an AI algorithm.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not relevant to this device; this is not an AI algorithm.

The documents indicate that the device is "Hot Biopsy Forceps" for "Endoscopic removal of polyps and obtaining samples in the gastrointestinal tract." The clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as opposed to de novo pre-market clinical study data demonstrating specific performance metrics.

Mr. John A. Chaves President & CEO Telemed Systems, Inc. 19 Brigham Street, Unit 1 Marlborough, MA 01752 Re: K992390 Hot Biopsy Forceps, Models 1592, 1594, 1596 and 1598 Dated: October 26, 1999 Received: November 1, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §876.4300/Procode: 78 KGE

Dear Mr. Chaves:

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 requlations 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 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.

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
