The BD Vacutainer® Multiple Sample Luer Adapter is a sterile, single-use, non-invasive medical device intended to be connected with BD Vacutainer® brand needle holders, to enable blood collection from venous access devices, such as needles and blood collection sets or catheters with female luer connectors into blood collection tubes or blood culture bottles for the purpose of in vitro diagnostic testing. These devices are intended to be used by healthcare professionals.
The BD Vacutainer® Multiple Sample Luer Adapter consists of a luer-slip fitting (male) which mates with the female Luer connector of venous access devices, and an NP (non-patient) cannula, which punctures the stopper of the evacuated tube(s), or the septum of a blood culture bottle(s) to collect blood.
The NP cannula of the device is lubricated and has a sleeve that recovers over the cannula to prevent leakage during blood collection in-between tubes and/or bottles.
Each end of the device is enclosed in a plastic shield, which join together to fully protect the device. A tamper evident label secures the two shields together and allows identification of whether the sterile barrier has been compromised.
The device consists of the following components:
- Non-patient (NP) Cannula
- Sleeve
- Luer Hub
- NP Shield
- IV Shield
- Epoxy
Note: the IV Shield is intended for maintaining sterility of the luer-slip of the device; there is no IV needle component.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the BD Vacutainer® Multiple Sample Luer Adapter (K243649). It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device (K991088) to establish substantial equivalence.
Based on the provided text, the device in question is a physical medical device (a luer adapter) used for blood collection, not an AI/software-based medical device that would typically involve acceptance criteria related to algorithmic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or image analysis. Therefore, much of the requested information (e.g., number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) is not applicable to this type of device submission.
Instead, the "acceptance criteria" for a physical device like this are met through a series of non-clinical performance tests, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization validation. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to the entire battery of these tests.
Here's a breakdown of the applicable information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a specific table with numerical acceptance criteria and corresponding reported device performance values for each test. Instead, it states that the tests were conducted to "verify that the subject device met all design specifications and performance standards" and "demonstrates acceptable performance." The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the relevant standards and internal design specifications, and the "reported device performance" is summarized as having met these.
However, we can list the types of tests performed, which serve as the basis for the performance evaluation:
| Acceptance Criterion (Type of Test) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Document) |
|---|---|
| Non-clinical Performance Testing | "met all design specifications and performance standards" |
| Torque to Break | "demonstrates acceptable performance" |
| NP Cannula Pull Test | "continues to perform as expected" |
| Spinout Test | |
| IV Shield Pull Force Test | |
| NP Sleeve Pull-off Force Test | |
| Tube Push Off Test | |
| Leakage by Pressure Decay Test | |
| Sub-Atmospheric Pressure Air Leakage Test | |
| Stress Cracking Test | |
| Resistance to Axial Separation Test | |
| Sterile Barrier Microbial Challenge Test | |
| Biocompatibility Testing | "demonstrates acceptable performance" |
| Cytotoxicity | |
| Sensitization | |
| Intracutaneous Reactivity or Irritation | |
| Material-mediated Pyrogenicity | |
| Acute Systemic Toxicity | |
| Hemocompatibility | |
| Leachables/Extractables | |
| Sterilization Testing | "demonstrates conformity to the following sterilization standards" |
| Sterility (EN 556-1) | Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 achieved |
| Radiation Sterilization (EN ISO 11137-1/2) | |
| Microbiological Methods (EN ISO 11737-1/2) | |
| Packaging Validation | "demonstrates conformity to the following standards" |
| Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices (ISO 11607-1/2) |

- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted internally by Becton Dickinson and Company. The provenance would be the manufacturer's own testing facilities. No information regarding country of origin of data or retrospective/prospective status is relevant, as this concerns bench testing of physical prototypes/production samples, not patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This question is not applicable as the device is a physical, mechanical medical device. "Ground truth" in this context is established through engineering and scientific measurements and adherence to recognized performance standards (e.g., ISO, EN standards), not through expert consensus on interpretation of data like medical images.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This question is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. No adjudication of expert opinions or subjective interpretations is involved.
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 question is not applicable. The device is a physical blood collection adapter, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable. The device is a physical blood collection adapter, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For a physical device, the "ground truth" is based on:
- Engineering specifications and tolerances: The physical dimensions, material properties, and functional capabilities must meet predefined engineering standards.
- Regulatory standards: Adherence to international standards (e.g., ISO, EN) for medical devices, manufacturing quality, biocompatibility, and sterilization.
- Predicate device performance: The new device must perform comparably to the predicate device in relevant tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
This question is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a physical device, not an AI algorithm that undergoes machine learning training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This question is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are evacuated, sterile, single use, in vitro diagnostic medical devices. They are intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals for the collection, containment, preservation, and transport of human venous blood specimens used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are used for Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing.
BD Vacutainer® K2EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are used for collection, containment, preservation, and transport of human venous blood specimens in a closed tube. The evacuated blood collection tube consists of a Vacutainer® Hemogard™ Closure Assembly, a plastic tube and EDTA additive. The EDTA anticoagulant is spray coated in the dipotassium (K2) form. The EDTA additive prevents specimen coagulation.
The plastic tubes are closed with the Vacutainer® Hemogard™ Closure Assembly which consists of a rubber stopper and protective plastic shield. The Hemogard™ Closure Assembly, introduced in 1995, is intended to help reduce user exposure to blood. All stopper/closures are color coded to reflect additive type; the closures included in this submission are lavender to indicate the presence of the EDTA additive.
The plastic tube is manufactured from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These plastic tubes were introduced in 1990. Plastic tubes enhance user safety and disposal because of the reduced risk of tube breakage and the availability of incineration as a method of disposal.
This is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (BD Vacutainer® K2 EDTA Blood Collection Tubes), which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing device performance against specific acceptance criteria for a novel device. Therefore, a direct table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance isn't entirely applicable in the way it would be for a new diagnostic algorithm.
However, based on the provided text, we can infer the types of performance evaluations conducted and their outcomes.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Bench Testing: A "minimum of three unique lots of product" was used for testing.
- Clinical Testing: The text mentions "the distribution of subjects selected to be approximately representative of the general US population." No specific number of subjects or samples is provided for the clinical test set.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the clinical data. It is a 510(k) submission to the US FDA, so studies would likely be relevant to or conducted in the US market. The studies are prospective in nature, as they involve collecting blood samples in the subject device and comparing them to a legally marketed comparator, and conducting stability and repeatability tests on these samples.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for a blood collection tube isn't established by experts in the same way as, for example, image interpretation for an AI diagnostic device. Instead, the "ground truth" for a blood collection tube is the accurate and stable measurement of an analyte (like HbA1c) using standard laboratory methods, assuming the comparator device performs correctly. The study aims to demonstrate that the subject device allows for these accurate measurements.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There is no human interpretation or subjective assessment of results requiring an adjudication method. The outcome measures are quantitative (e.g., HbA1c levels, physical properties).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not applicable. This is a blood collection tube, not an AI diagnostic algorithm or a device requiring human interpretation of results.
6. Standalone Performance
Not applicable. This device is a blood collection tube, not an algorithm. Its "performance" is inherently tied to its physical characteristics and its ability to preserve blood samples for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
For the clinical study, the "ground truth" for HbA1c measurements would be the results obtained from established, validated laboratory analyzers using samples collected in the comparator device. The subject device's performance is gauged by showing that the HbA1c measurements from samples collected in it are equivalent to those from the comparator.
For bench testing, the ground truth is based on engineering specifications and validated test methods (e.g., measuring draw volume against a specified volume, testing for leakage against a pass/fail criterion).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a physical blood collection tube, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a blood specimen collection device. It details the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance testing. However, it does not describe an AI/ML-based medical device. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design for AI models (sample size, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) is not present in the provided document.
The document discusses the clinical performance testing for a physical blood collection device. The "acceptance criteria" referred to are for the physical and chemical performance of the collection tubes, not for an AI model's diagnostic or predictive accuracy.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and details as they pertain to an AI device, which is not the subject of this document.
If you are interested in the acceptance criteria and performance data for this specific device (the BD MiniDraw™ Capillary Blood Collection System), here's what can be extracted from the document:

| Operator Variability | "Acceptable" |
| Shelf-Life (9 months) | "Demonstrated clinically equivalent performance" for aged vs. new tubes. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of samples or subjects included in the clinical performance testing. It mentions "studies were performed at internal and/or external sites."
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but clinical studies are generally prospective for a 510(k) submission. No country of origin is specified for the clinical data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable for this type of device. The "ground truth" here is the accurate measurement of analytes in the blood samples, which would be established by standard laboratory reference methods, not by expert consensus or interpretations. The comparison is between the new device's collection method and existing, cleared collection methods.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable for this type of device. Adjudication is relevant for subjective interpretations (like medical images). For quantitative measurements of analytes, "adjudication" would involve laboratory quality control and statistical analysis of results against established analytical performance criteria.
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 is a blood collection device, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Comparator Devices/Reference Methods: For clinical equivalence, the "ground truth" was established by comparing analyte measurements from samples collected using the BD MiniDraw™ SST™ Tube against measurements from samples collected using legally marketed predicate and comparator devices (BD Microtainer® SST™ (capillary) and Greiner Bio-One Vacuette® Serum Tubes (venous)), presumably analyzed using validated laboratory methods. The clinical acceptance limits (CALs) served as the benchmark for equivalence.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

BD Vacutainer® EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are evacuated, sterile, single use, in vitro diagnostic medical devices. They are intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals for the collection, containment, preservation, and transport of human venous blood specimens used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
BD Vacutainer® K2EDTA and K3EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are used for testing in hematology including white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), hemoglobin (HgB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), platelets, and 5-part white blood cell (WBC) differential counts (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils).
BD Vacutainer® K2EDTA Blood Collection Tubes and BD Vacutainer® K3EDTA Blood Collection Tubes are for collecting, transporting and centrifuging blood in a closed tube. The blood collection tube consists of closure assembly, a glass tube and EDTA additive.
The standard closure assembly is a basic rubber stopper. The tube is also available with the Vacutainer® Hemogard™ Closure Assembly which consists of a rubber stopper and protective plastic shield to reduce user exposure to blood. All stopper/closures are color coded to reflect additive type; the closures included in this submission are either pink or lavender to indicate the presence of the EDTA additive.
The provided text describes the regulatory submission for BD Vacutainer® K2EDTA and K3EDTA Blood Collection Tubes. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study of an AI/human reader device with acceptance criteria for performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design for AI/human reader performance, sample sizes for training/test sets in machine learning, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment in the context of AI are not applicable (N/A) to this document. This submission is for blood collection tubes, not a diagnostic algorithm.
However, I can extract information related to the performance testing of the blood collection tubes themselves.
Here's a breakdown of the relevant information from the document, with an emphasis on why certain requested fields are N/A:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is for a medical device (blood collection tubes) and not an AI algorithm, the "acceptance criteria" are related to mechanical and physical performance, and clinical equivalence for blood parameters.
| Test | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by "Pass" result and regulatory context) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Draw Volume | Must meet defined specifications | Pass |
| X-Value (likely relates to vacuum pressure or fill volume) | Must meet defined specifications | Pass |
| Second Stopper Pullout | Must meet defined specifications for stopper integrity | Pass |
| Stopper/Shield Separation | Must meet defined specifications for closure integrity | Pass |
| Stopper Leakage | Must demonstrate no leakage | Pass |
| Resistance to Breakage during Drop Testing | Must withstand specified drop tests without breakage | Pass |
| Resistance to Breakage During Centrifugation | Must withstand specified centrifugal forces without breakage | Pass |
| Ship Testing for Functional Performance of Packaging Materials | Must maintain integrity and function after simulated shipping | Pass |
| Clinical Equivalence (Method Comparison) | Mean and 95% Confidence Limits of paired sample biases within Clinical Acceptance Limits (CALs) for key hematology parameters (WBC, RBC, RDW, Hgb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Platelets, 5-part WBC differential) | Demonstrated for all parameters except Hgb, PLT, and WBC at low medically relevant points on two instruments (mean bias within CAL, but C.I. exceeded; deemed clinically acceptable due to insufficient low-point data) |
| Precision (Lot to Lot Variability) | Non-inferiority for repeatability (within tube) and reproducibility (lot-to-lot and tube-to-tube) when compared to a comparator device for tested hematology parameters | Non-inferiority shown for all tube comparisons and hematology parameters on two instrument platforms. |
| Within-Tube Type Stability | Analytes must demonstrate stability at specified storage conditions and time points (12- and 24-hours Room Temperature, 24 hours Refrigerated, 24 hours Room Temperature followed by 24 hours Refrigerated). | All analytes demonstrated stability. |
| Shelf-Life | Product must maintain performance over proposed shelf life | 11 months for K2EDTA, 10 months for K3EDTA. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of samples or subjects for the clinical studies. It mentions "low medically relevant points were insufficient to adequately power the analysis" for Hgb, PLT, and WBC in the method comparison, suggesting a limitation in that specific subgroup analysis.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The studies involved "testing performed internally and externally," and "clinical samples." There is no mention of prospective or retrospective design, but clinical equivalence and stability studies typically involve prospective collection or use of fresh samples to assess performance over time/conditions.
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)
- N/A. This device does not rely on expert interpretation for "ground truth" in the way an AI algorithm for image analysis would. The "truth" for blood parameters is established by laboratory analyzers.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- N/A. Not relevant. This is not an image interpretation or diagnostic decision-making study that would require adjudication.
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
- N/A. Not an AI-assisted human reader study.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- N/A. Not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be the analytical results obtained from established, calibrated laboratory instruments (e.g., hematology analyzers) using the collected blood samples. Clinical equivalence was demonstrated against "legally marketed comparator tubes," implying that the comparator's performance on these instruments serves as the reference.
8. The sample size for the training set
- N/A. This is not an AI/machine learning device. There are no training sets.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- N/A. Not an AI/machine learning device.

BD Vacutainer® Trace Element Serum Tubes and BD Vacutainer® Trace Element K2EDTA Tubes are plastic, evacuated, sterile, single use, in vitro diagnostic medical devices. They are intended to be used in settings where venous blood specimens are collected by trained healthcare professionals for the collection, transportation, and processing of blood in a closed tube. Blood collected in the BD Vacutainer® Trace Element Serum Tubes and BD Vacutainer® Trace Element K2EDTA Tubes are used for trace element testing (e.g., Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Selenium, and Zinc).
The BD Vacutainer® Trace Element K2EDTA Tube is an evacuated plastic blood collection tube. It consists of closure assembly, a plastic tube, and EDTA coating (dipotassium) and is available in two draw sizes, 6 mL (13 x 100 mm) and 3 mL (13 x 75 mm). The plastic tube is manufactured from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, which enhances user safety and disposal because of the reduced risk of tube breakage and the use of incineration as a method of disposal compared to glass. The EDTA anticoagulant coating is spray-dried on the walls of the tube in the dipotassium (K2) form.
The BD Vacutainer® Trace Element Serum Tube is also an evacuated plastic blood collection tube consisting of a closure assembly, a plastic tube and contains a silica clot activator additive which is spray-dried on the interior walls of the tube. It is available in one draw size, 6 mL (13 x 100 mm). The plastic tube is manufactured from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic.
All of these plastic tubes are closed with a BD Hemogard™ Closure, which consists of a rubber stopper and protective plastic shield to help reduce user exposure to blood. The stopper/closures are color coded to reflect the intended use (Royal Blue for trace element tubes).
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for new blood collection tubes, asserting their substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. It focuses on the device's characteristics and performance testing. However, the information does not describe an AI/ML-based device, nor does it involve the use of experts for ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, or training/test sets in the context of an AI/ML model for clinical diagnosis or prediction.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for information related to Acceptance Criteria and Proof of Device Performance for an AI/ML device based on the provided text. The document is about a physical medical device (blood collection tubes) and its performance related to functionality, sterility, and suitability for trace element testing, not an AI/ML algorithm.
If you have a document describing an AI/ML medical device, please provide it, and I will do my best to extract the requested information.
