    Intended Use

    The AMT Low-Profile Suprapubic Catheter & Drainage Set is indicated for patients 7 years of age and older with lower urinary tract dysfunctions such as neurogenic bladder dysfunction or urethral obstruction or who are severely disabled or requiring constant care. The AMT Low-Profile Suprapubic Catheter & Drainage Set is indicated to be used for temporary suprapubic urinary diversion and drainage for less than or equal to four weeks. The AMT Low- Profile Suprapubic Catheter is intended to be placed directly into the bladder through a secured (initial placement) or formed (replacement) stoma.

    Device Description

    The Applied Medical Technology, Inc. (AMT) Low-Profile Suprapubic Catheter & Drainage Set (LPSPC) consists of two primary assemblies. The LPSPC is identical in materials and manufacturing processes to the Low-Profile Balloon Feeding Device cleared in K161413 for a different indication.

    The Suprapubic Catheter is used to provide urinary diversion and drainage through the lower abdomen, placed and maintained in a percutaneously prepared cystostomy opening. The Drainage Set is intended to allow a connection between the suprapubic catheter device and a urinary collection bag system. The device is designed for bladder drainage by way of a secured (initial placement) or formed (replacement) cystostomy tract and may be used for irrigation. Patients may include: any user with urethral trauma, those who require long-term catheterization and urethral catheterization is intolerable, or those with a spinal cord injury and an inability to self-catheterize who may find the suprapubic method simpler to manage.

    The LPSPC is a urinary drainage device made principally of silicone elastomer. The device consists of an internal retention balloon and a flexible external bolster with a balloon fill-valve, interlocking irrigation port, and safety plug. The catheter is inserted through the stoma and into the urinary bladder and is secured by the internal retention balloon. The device is offered in various sizes to accommodate different stoma diameters and lengths. On the shaft near the end is located a balloon which, when properly inflated, acts as an internal stabilizer preventing outward displacement through the stoma in the abdominal wall. The balloon is inflated through a separate inflation valve located in the external portion of the device.

    The external profile of the device acts as a stabilizer to prevent inward migration and affords the user the ability to connect a provided Drainage Set.

    The Drainage Set is identical in material and manufacturing process to certain configurations of the Irrigation Set included with the AMT Bowel Management Device previously cleared in K180026. The right-angle connector of the Drainage Set is compatible with the interlock on the LPSPC and is used to direct fluids drained from the bladder, through the catheter, and into a separate urinary collection bag.

    The AMT Low-Profile Suprapubic Catheter & Drainage Set may optionally be marketed with a Foley Insertion Tray accessory. If included, the accessory would be a legally marketed Foley Insertion Tray, such as:

    • AMSure Foley Insertion Tray (previously cleared Class II, Product Code FCM, K030664)
    • Bardia Foley Insertion Tray (registered Class II, Product Code OHR, 510(k) exempt)
    • Dynarex Foley insertion Tray without Catheter (registered Class II, Product Code OHR, 510(k) exempt)

    The device is sold as sterile and can be initially placed in an outpatient-setting by a health care professional. The device may be replaced in an outpatient-setting or home setting by a health care professional or care giver.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "AMT Low-Profile Suprapubic Catheter & Drainage Set." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than presenting a standalone study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the format requested.

    Therefore, much of the requested information cannot be extracted directly from this document. The document primarily describes the types of testing performed and concludes that the device met acceptance criteria, but generally does not specify these criteria or report quantitative performance results against them.

    Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the available information:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The document states that the device "met or exceeded all the acceptance criteria and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate/reference devices." However, specific numerical acceptance criteria and precise performance data are not detailed in this summary. The performance is generally stated as meeting standards.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size:
      • Bench Testing: Not specified. The document lists the types of tests but not numbers of samples.
      • Clinical Performance (Literature Review): Clinical experience was reported on 34 adults and 188 pediatric patients across 22 published articles.
    • Data Provenance: The clinical data is from a systematic literature review (retrospective). The countries of origin are not specified, only that the literature from "independent organizations" was reviewed.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable. This was a systematic literature review, not a study where experts established ground truth for newly collected patient data. The "ground truth" for the clinical performance was derived from the findings reported in the published literature.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. The clinical evidence was gathered through a systematic literature review. The "reporting of this systematic review was guided by the standards of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Statement, as well as the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Assessment of the included literature was completed using the critical appraisal tools published by the Joanna Brigges Institute." This describes the methodology for reviewing existing literature, not an adjudication process for a new test set.

    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 applicable. This device is a suprapubic catheter, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device. The submission does not mention any AI components or MRMC studies.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    For the clinical performance aspects, the "ground truth" was derived from "clinical experience... reported on 34 adults and 188 pediatric patients" across published literature, guidelines from organizations like the Pediatric Urologists of Canada and the Canadian Urological Association, operative textbooks, and information from the International Continence Society (ICS). This can be broadly categorized as published clinical outcomes data and expert-derived guidelines/clinical experience.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device submission, not a machine learning model. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

    Intended Use

    The AMT Suture Passer is indicated to pass suture through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery and interventional radiology procedures in child, adolescent and adult populations.

    Device Description

    The AMT Suture Passer is a sterile, single-case use, hand-held suture grasping device. The device features a hypodermic needle through which a suture can be passed and retrieved through another. The retrieval component may be offered in two configurations: a non-magnetic version, and a magnetically assisted version, using a grasper with a magnetized arm. Using either configuration, the AMT Suture Passer provides more flexibility in stitch geometry and approach than traditional U-stitches. The preferred method to introduce the suture is through a separate introducer needle; the AMT Suture Passer Kit with Magnet Assist instrument set bundles the magnetically assisted configuration of the AMT Suture Passer with an introducer needle and two magnetic sutures to create a non-procedure-specific kit. For the magnetically assisted configuration, the magnetized arm of the grasper works in conjunction with a magnetic suture to reduce the technical difficulty of intracorporeal suture retrieval under laparoscopic, endoscopic, radiologic, or ultrasound guidance. This magnet-assist technology is derived from the ATLAS Suture Delivery System (K193612), also manufactured by Applied Medical Technology, which performs the same clinical function and is used in similar clinical applications. Both configurations of the AMT Suture Passer feature identical components, except for the end-effectors, and make use of Luer-lock compatible hubs that allow a syringe to be attached for the purpose of administering contrast through the device. The contrast enters through the Luer hub and exits from the distal end of the needle, which allows the needle position to be verified prior to passing the suture during interventional radiology procedures.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called the "AMT Suture Passer." It outlines the regulatory review process and the basis for the FDA's determination of substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices.

    The request asks for details on acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets these criteria. However, the provided document does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning algorithm, human readers, or a test set with ground truth established by experts.

    Study Information

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
    See table above.

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
    The provided document does not specify the sample sizes for the individual bench tests or the country of origin/provenance for the data. The studies performed were bench testing, meaning they were conducted in a laboratory setting rather than with human subjects, therefore, provenance like "country of origin" is less relevant than for clinical data. The tests are prospective in nature, as they are specifically designed to evaluate the performance of the manufactured device.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
    This section is not applicable as the studies described are bench tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and various physical performance tests) and do not involve expert review or establishment of ground truth in the context of diagnostic interpretation. The "ground truth" for these tests is the objective measurement against established engineering, material, and safety standards (e.g., a specific tensile strength, absence of pyrogens, a confirmed SAL).

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
    This section is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to a consensus process among human readers/experts, typically in diagnostic studies. The studies performed were bench tests against pre-defined engineering and safety standards.

    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:
    This section is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device (gastrostomy feeding tube), not an AI/ML powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
    This section is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device and does not involve an algorithm or AI.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
    The "ground truth" for the various performance tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and bench tests) is based on established industry standards, design specifications, and objective laboratory measurements. For instance, a confirmed Sterility Assurance Level ($10^{-6}$) is an objective measurement against a standard, not an expert consensus or pathology report. Similarly, meeting specific tensile strength, flow rate, or leak test criteria are objective measurements against defined engineering specifications.

    8. The sample size for the training set:
    This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device and does not involve AI/ML that requires a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
    This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device and does not involve AI/ML that requires a training set and its associated ground truth establishment.

      • The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes for each specific performance test (e.g., number of devices tested for leak, strength, etc.). It refers to "sample size" generally in the context of the performance data summary.
      • The data provenance is from non-clinical bench tests and simulated use tests conducted by Applied Medical Resources Corporation. There is no indication of country of origin for data or whether it's retrospective or prospective, as these are bench tests.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications:

      • This information is not applicable as the document describes performance testing of a physical medical device (specimen retrieval system), not an AI/software device that requires expert-established ground truth. The 'ground truth' here is the objective outcome of the physical/mechanical and biological tests.
    3. Adjudication method for the test set:

      • This is not applicable for the type of device and testing described. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for clinical studies involving reader interpretations, not for bench testing of physical device performance.
    4. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study:

      • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic/interpretive devices where human readers' performance is augmented by AI. The Inzii Ripstop Redeployable Retrieval System is a physical surgical tool.
    5. Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study:

      • No, a standalone study was not done. This concept is specific to AI algorithms. The device described functions with human interaction during surgery.
    6. Type of ground truth used:

      • For the performance testing, the "ground truth" used was based on objective measurements and observations from the non-clinical bench tests and simulated use tests. This includes parameters like liquid tightness, resistance to tearing/puncture, and mechanical functionality, as well as established ISO standards for biocompatibility.
    7. Sample size for the training set:

      • This information is not applicable as the document describes performance testing of a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • This information is not applicable as there is no training set for a physical medical device.

    Based on the provided text, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not provide a direct table with specific numerical acceptance criteria and corresponding reported device performance values. Instead, it states that the devices "met all acceptance criteria" or that results were "sufficient to represent the subject device is safe and effective."

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
    EMC, Electrical Safety, and Mechanical TestingThe predicate device met all acceptance criteria in accordance with relevant standards of the IEC 60601 series. Additional electrical safety testing on the subject device also met all acceptance criteria.
    Simulated Repeated-Use TestingThe subject device met the predetermined acceptance criteria for continued performance over multiple device activations.
    System Testing (Burst Pressure)(Performed on predicate device) Representative vessels were sealed, and burst pressure was recorded. The results are considered representative of system performance for the subject device. (No specific threshold or value is provided, but implies satisfactory burst pressure).
    System Testing (Thermal Spread)(Performed on predicate device) Thermal spread damage was evaluated. The results are considered representative of system performance for the subject device. (No specific thermal spread limit is provided, but implies acceptable thermal effects).
    Animal Testing (Long-term Seal Quality, Adverse Effects)(Performed on predicate device) Evaluated long-term seal quality, device performance, and potential for adverse effects on adjacent structures in large porcine animal models. Vessels were sealed and evaluated for hemostasis and signs of hematoma. The results are sufficient to represent the subject device is safe and effective.
    Software VerificationUnit, integration, and system level software testing were conducted to evaluate design, implementation, and performance. (Implies all tests passed the defined acceptance criteria for software).

    Note: The document generally indicates that the device "met all acceptance criteria" without specifying the exact numerical thresholds for many of these criteria. This type of summary is common in 510(k) submissions where the focus is on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than presenting a detailed performance report.


    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes for all test sets. However, it provides some information:

    • Burst pressure testing: "vessels representative of the devices' indications" were used. (No specific number mentioned).
    • Thermal spread testing: (No specific number mentioned).
    • Simulated repeated-use testing: (No specific number mentioned for activations or devices).
    • Animal testing: "large porcine animal models" were used. The number of animals or vessels tested is not specified.

    Data Provenance:

    • Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated, but typically these studies are conducted by the manufacturer or contract research organizations, often in the country where the manufacturer is based (USA, in this case).
    • Retrospective or Prospective: The testing described (simulated repeated-use, system testing, animal testing, software verification) are all prospective studies, designed and executed to evaluate the new or modified device. The reference to the predicate device's data suggests that previously collected prospective data from the predicate was leveraged.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    The document does not provide any information about the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for any of the described performance tests. For electrosurgical devices, "ground truth" often refers to objective measurements (e.g., burst pressure, thermal spread measurements, histopathological analysis in animal studies) rather than subjective expert interpretations like in imaging studies.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not specify any adjudication method. Given that most of the described tests are objective measurements (e.g., electrical parameters, burst pressure, thermal spread, software testing), an adjudication method as typically understood in studies involving human interpretation (like imaging reads) would not be applicable. For animal studies, evaluation of hemostasis and hematoma would typically follow pre-defined histological or gross pathology criteria.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a direct-use surgical instrument, not an AI-based diagnostic tool requiring human interpretation/reading. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable here.


    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    While the term "standalone" typically refers to AI algorithms, in the context of this electrosurgical device, the device itself is a "standalone" instrument. The performance tests (electrical, mechanical, system, animal) described are evaluating the performance of the device only (or the device in combination with its specified generator), without a human-in-the-loop actively assisting in output. The software verification tests are also standalone evaluations of the algorithm's performance within the device's control systems.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for various tests includes:

    • Objective Measurements: For burst pressure (quantifiable pressure values), thermal spread (measurable tissue damage), and electrical safety/EMC (compliance with quantifiable standards).
    • Biological/Pathological Outcomes: For animal studies, this would involve macroscopic and potentially microscopic examination of sealed vessels and surrounding tissues to assess hemostasis, presence of hematoma, and tissue damage, serving as the "ground truth" for seal quality and safety.
    • Software Design Specifications: For software verification, the "ground truth" is adherence to predefined design requirements and functional specifications.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document describes performance testing for an electrosurgical device, not an AI/ML product. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" (used for training machine learning models) is not applicable to this submission.


    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    As the concept of a "training set" is not applicable, the question of how its ground truth was established is also not applicable.

    Intended Use

    The GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System (VAS) is intended to be inserted in the vagina to allow for entry of minimally invasive instruments while maintaining insufflation for vaginal gynecological procedures.

    Device Description

    The GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System consists of an Intravaginal Alexis retractor and two access channels that are placed vaginally to create a pathway to gynecological organs. A GelSeal cap attaches to the retractor at the opening of the vagina. The cap allows for insufflation and smoke evacuation. Sleeves inserted through the cap allow for passage of 5mm to 12mm instrumentation. Visualization is achieved via introduction of an endoscope through a sleeve. The device is provided sterile.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the GelPOINT® V-Path Vaginal Access System. It describes the device, its intended use, and the studies conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:

    1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document describes functional testing but doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or provide specific numerical device performance metrics in a table format. Instead, it describes general successful outcomes.

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from study goals)Reported Device Performance (Summary of results)
    Ability to maintain transvaginal access.The studies confirm that the GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System has the ability to establish and maintain a path of entry for minimally invasive instruments.
    Ability to facilitate instrument access to the surgical site.The studies confirm that the GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System has the ability to establish and maintain a path of entry for minimally invasive instruments.
    Ability to allow for device removal.The studies confirm that the GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System has the ability to allow for device removal. (Inferred from "Device removal" being an assessed function).
    Ability to maintain device retention/anchoring.The studies confirm that the GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System can remain anchored in the patient while withstanding conditions under normal clinical use.
    Ability to maintain insufflation.The studies confirm that the integrity and sealing capability of the device system are adequate to maintain insufflation as a means to provide visualization of the surgical space.
    Biocompatibility (non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizer, non-irritant, non-systemically toxic, non-pyrogenic).The biocompatibility test results demonstrate the GelPOINT V-Path Vaginal Access System is biocompatible and has met the criteria to be classified as non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizer, non-irritant, non-systemically toxic, and non-pyrogenic.
    Shelf-life of 3 years.Results from testing demonstrated that the devices could maintain their specifications over the stated shelf-life duration of 3 years.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document mentions "bench testing" and "Functional bench testing" but does not provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of devices tested, number of trials).
    • Data Provenance: The studies were internal company studies ("A protocol was developed by Applied Medical"). There is no mention of country of origin of data, and these are laboratory bench tests, not patient data, so the retrospective/prospective distinction is not applicable in the usual sense for clinical data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    This information is not provided in the document. The studies are described as functional bench tests, suggesting engineering or quality assurance personnel would evaluate the performance rather than clinical experts establishing a ground truth in the context of diagnostic accuracy.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    This information is not provided. Given the nature of bench testing, it's unlikely an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1 (typically used for clinical imaging assessments) would be applied.

    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:

    • MRMC Study: No.
    • AI Assistance: The document describes a medical device for surgical access, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, a study on human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable and was not conducted.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    No. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm, so "standalone algorithm performance" is not applicable.

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    For the functional tests, the "ground truth" would be the successful demonstration of the device's intended functions (e.g., maintaining an open pathway, retaining its position, maintaining insufflation). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by meeting the pass/fail criteria outlined in the referenced ISO standards and USP . For shelf-life, the ground truth is the device maintaining specifications after accelerated aging.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    Not applicable. As above, this is not an AI/machine learning device.

    In summary:

    This 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of a physical surgical access device through functional bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and shelf-life studies. It does not involve clinical studies with patient data, expert review of images, or artificial intelligence algorithms. Therefore, many of your requested points related to AI performance, reader studies, and large-scale data sets are not relevant to this type of device submission.

    Intended Use

    The Alexis® Contained Extraction System is indicated to contain and isolate tissue during, or prior to, surgical removal and/or extracorporeal manual morcellation via an abdominal or vaginal approach.

    Device Description

    The Alexis® Contained Extraction System is a sterile, single use tissue bag with a guard system component. The polyurethane tissue bag consists of a flexible ring, tabs, strap with a snap fastener, and an attached tether It is available in two models GTB14 and GTB17 with the following dimensions and volumes:

    ModelRing DiameterVolume
    GTB1414 cm3,400 mL
    GTB1717 cm6,500 mL

    The tissue bag is used to contain and isolate specimens for surgical removal and/or manual morcellation. The strap with snap fastener maintains the folded bag and flexible ring in a collapsed state during insertion. After the device is fully inserted and deployed into the abdominal or pelvic cavity, the opening of the bag returns to its original, circular shape, facilitating placement of the specimen in the bag. When the specimen is ready for removal and/or manual morcellation, the tether, tabs, and strap are used to maneuver the ring to the surface of the extraction site.

    If the specimen requires manual morcellation. the ring may be repeatedly flipped to shorten the bag and consequently bring the specimen closer to the extraction site.

    The guard system consists of a guard and a self-retaining retractor. The guard is composed of a coiled polyethylene material that conforms to the extraction site. The self-retaining retractor consists of two polyurethane rings connected by a polyurethane sheath and a tether attached to the inner ring. It helps anchor the guard at the extraction site. The guard system provides a robust barrier between the bag and sharp instruments.

    The Alexis® Contained Extraction System can be inserted and retrieved either through an abdominal incision or through the vaginal canal and colpotomy. In both cases, manual morcellation is performed extracorporeally at the extraction site.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the Alexis® Contained Extraction System. This notification focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study report with specific performance metrics and acceptance criteria for a new AI/software device.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample size for test sets (including provenance, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods), MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth establishment, and training set details cannot be extracted from the provided text.

    The document details engineering tests related to the physical device's characteristics (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and functional performance) to support its substantial equivalence to an existing device, as opposed to clinical performance data against defined metrics for a diagnostic or AI-driven system.

    The "Discussion of Performance Data" section refers to:

    • Biocompatibility: Evaluation in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and FDA guidance.
    • Sterilization/Shelf Life: Validation performed in accordance with ISO 11135-2.
    • Functional Performance: Design Verification testing for various physical attributes (e.g., integrity of tissue bag, tether, guard system, resistance to penetration, ability to maintain a closed system, specimen capture). This also included "simulated use testing with the subject device in both an abdominal bench model and a vaginal bench model."

    However, these are engineering and safety tests typical for a physical medical device, not performance studies as would be conducted for a diagnostic algorithm or AI system.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Applied Medical Anoscope. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, the document does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria related to its performance beyond general biocompatibility and functional performance tests.

    The 510(k) summary (page 4) states: "The anoscope is a simple one-piece device that provides a passage into the anal canal. There are no recognized performance standards for access devices of this kind. Therefore, Applied Medical devised criteria by which to assess safety and efficacy, including a computer-aided simulation and a compression test."

    This indicates that while some criteria and tests were performed, their details (specific quantitative acceptance criteria, the results of these tests, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, etc.) are not included in this publicly available 510(k) clearance document.

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

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not detailed in the document.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not detailed for the described "computer-aided simulation and a compression test."
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable as the testing described is physical, not interpretive, and not detailed in the document.
    4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable based on the described tests.
    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 applicable. This device is a physical anoscope, not an AI or imaging device with human readers.
    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a physical anoscope.
    7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable for the described physical tests.
    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through:

    • Comparison of technological characteristics (page 4), noting minor differences like the pre-existence of a dedicated light source channel in the predicate vs. the subject's larger lumen and use of external light sources.
    • Biocompatibility testing (page 4) against ISO 10993-1 endpoints (cytotoxicity, intracutaneous irritation, sensitization), which the device passed.
    • Functional performance testing (page 4), which involved a "computer-aided simulation and a compression test." The details of these tests and their results are not provided.

    In summary, this document is a regulatory clearance letter, not a detailed scientific study report. It states that the manufacturer "devised criteria" and conducted "computer-aided simulation and a compression test" to assess safety and efficacy, but it does not provide the specific quantitative acceptance criteria or the results of those tests.
