Device Description

The Model K6-I Diagnostic System is a surface electromyographic device that measures and records electrical potential emanating from muscle (in addition to its ability to track and document mandibular position/range of motion). The feature being added to the software of this device, Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) of captured data, has the same technological characteristics as other legally marketed devices described above and in the Special 510(k).

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA to Myotronics-Noromed, Incorporated, regarding their Model K6-I Diagnostic System. It primarily addresses the substantial equivalence of the device to legally marketed predicates, especially concerning the addition of a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) feature to its software.

The document does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or an explicit study proving performance against those criteria in a quantitative manner. Instead, it focuses on regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence.

However, based on the information provided, we can infer some aspects and highlight what is missing:


Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from regulatory context and predicate device comparison)Reported Device Performance (Inferred from substantial equivalence claim)
Functional Equivalence: The added Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) feature should perform its intended function of transforming captured electromyographic data.The FFT feature in the Model K6-I software has the same technological characteristics as the FFT features found in the predicate devices (ProComp DSP & ProComp, Myosystem 1000 Electromyograph, I-330 Physiological Monitor).
Safety and Effectiveness: The device, with the added FFT feature, should be as safe and effective as the predicate devices for its stated indications for use.The FDA found the device substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, implying comparable safety and effectiveness for the stated indications.
Indications for Use: The device (with FFT) should remain within the indications for use of the predicate devices.The added feature (FFT) does not expand upon the previously indicated uses for jaw tracking and electromyographic functions.

Missing Information from the Provided Document:

The following information, as requested in the prompt, is not present in the provided 510(k) letter:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: The document does not describe a specific test set or its sample size for evaluating the FFT feature.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: There is no mention of experts or ground truth establishment for a test set.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable as no explicit test set or expert evaluation is detailed.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size: No MRMC study is mentioned.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: The document describes the device as a diagnostic system which implies human interpretation. No specific standalone algorithm performance study is described for the FFT feature.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): No ground truth is described for a performance study of the FFT feature.
  7. The sample size for the training set: The document does not describe a training set as it pertains to software algorithms.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Context from the Document:

  • Device Name: Model K6-I Diagnostic System
  • Added Feature: Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) of data to the K6-I Software.
  • Method of Proof: Substantial Equivalence. The document states that the new FFT feature "has the same technological characteristics as other legally marketed devices described above and in the Special 510(k)." The predicate devices listed are:
    • ProComp DSP & ProComp mfg. by Thought Technology
    • Myosystem 1000 Electromyograph mfd. by Noraxon
    • I-330 Physiological Monitor mfd. by J & J Engineering
  • Indications for Use: The device tracks mandibular movement and position for diagnosis of functional disorders (e.g., TMJ/MPD syndrome, muscle tension), identification of mandibular rest position and interocclusal distance. For its electromyographic function, it's intended for use with muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, digastric) for clinical monitoring, determining muscle relaxation, and measuring contraction levels during functional tests. The added FFT feature does not expand these indications.

In summary, the provided FDA letter relies on the concept of substantial equivalence to existing, legally marketed predicate devices rather than detailing a specific, quantitative performance study with explicit acceptance criteria, ground truth, and sample sizes for the new FFT feature. The "study" in this context is the comparison made by the manufacturer (Myotronics-Noromed) and reviewed by the FDA to determine that the technical characteristics of the new feature are comparable to those in existing devices.

Dear Mr. Adib

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 10, 1999, regarding the classification of your device which was incorrectly identified in the previous letter.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Mr. Fray Adib

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 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 specificadvice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
