Device Description

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called "Keeler CryoMaster & Probes." This document is a regulatory approval, not a scientific study report. Therefore, it does not contain the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies.

Specifically, the document does not include:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample sizes for test sets or their data provenance.
  • Information on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.
  • Adjudication methods.
  • Results of any Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  • Results of any standalone algorithm performance studies.
  • The type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).
  • Sample size for training sets.
  • How ground truth for training sets was established.

This document merely states that the FDA has reviewed the 510(k) notification and determined that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices for the stated indications for use. Substantial equivalence is a regulatory standard, not a performance metric defined by a specific study with acceptance criteria.

Dear Mr. Arsdale:

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 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 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 .
