    The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Blood Collection Needle is a sterile, single-use, medical device specifically intended to be used by healthcare professionals experienced with venipuncture on adults and children in accordance with the instructions for use for the collection of multiple venous blood samples into evacuated blood collection tubes, for the purpose of in vitro diagnostic testing. The needle is designed with an attached safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately after venipuncture to provide protection from accidental needlesticks.

    Device Description

    The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Blood Collection Needle includes a one-piece double-ended needle/cannula fixed to a plastic hub. One end of the cannula is the intravenous (IV) end, and the other is the non-patient (NP) end covered with a sleeve. The whole device is encased in two plastic covers; one at each end of the cannula to protect the device, with a tamper-evident seal placed around the plastic covers. The protective cover/cap is provided to prevent damage and maintain the needle sterility before the point of use. A safety shield is connected to a hinge on a collar attached to the hub. The safety shield is manually activated by locking over the needle after removal from the vein, providing protection from accidental needlestick injuries.

    The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ BCN consists of:

    • Double-ended hollow stainless-steel cannula
    • Threaded polystyrene hub
    • Polystyrene collar
    • Protective needle sleeve that interrupts blood flow between filling multiple tubes
    • Safety shield that can be activated to cover the needle immediately after venipuncture to protect against accidental needle sticks during normal handling and disposal
    • Pre-attached holder (for user convenience in some models)

    The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Blood Collection Needle with Pre-Attached Holder (PAH) consists of a BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Blood Collection Needle threaded and bonded to a BD Vacutainer® One Use Holder. The Eclipse™ BCN with PAH allows for the immediate use of the product without the need for assembling the two components.

    Intended Use

    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.

    Device Description

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    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)

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance

    The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each of the non-clinical performance tests. These types of tests often follow specific ISO or ASTM standards that prescribe minimum sample sizes for statistical confidence, but the exact numbers are not detailed in this summary.

    • 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.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the BD Vacutainer® One Use Holder, a blood specimen collection device. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to a predicate device (Greiner Vacuette® Blood Culture Holder).

    Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

    This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria and studies that prove a device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device. This is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a non-AI/ML medical device, specifically a blood specimen collection holder.

    Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text:

    • Type of Device: The BD Vacutainer® One Use Holder is a physical, non-sterile, single-use plastic device. It is not an AI/ML-powered software device.
    • Study Focus: The "Non-clinical Performance Summary" states that tests were conducted to "verify that the proposed devices met all design specifications and performance standards." This typically refers to mechanical, material, and functional testing for a physical device, not the evaluation of an AI algorithm's performance on a dataset.
    • "Clinical Data - Not Applicable": This explicitly indicates that no clinical studies (which would be the source of test sets, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, etc., for AI/ML devices) were required or performed for this device.
    • Absence of AI/ML Specific Terminology: There is no mention of algorithms, machine learning, deep learning, models, training sets, test sets, inference, sensitivity, specificity, AUC, or any other terminology associated with AI/ML device evaluation.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence based on indications for use, design, materials, and non-clinical performance characteristics relevant to a conventional medical device.

    Within-Tube Stability (WTS)Demonstrate within-tube stability for PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa with BD Citrate Tubes. (Implied acceptance: stability within predefined limits over a specified time).Demonstrated Within-Tube Stability (WTS) for representative selected plasma coagulation test parameters (PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa).
    Shelf-Life PerformanceEvaluate performance of BD Citrate Tubes at end-of-shelf-life (EOSL) compared to recently manufactured tubes for PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa. (Implied acceptance: performance at EOSL is comparable to fresh tubes, supporting the proposed shelf-life).The results support the proposed shelf-life for the selected plasma coagulation test parameters (PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa).
    Repeatability/ReproducibilityEvaluate within-tube repeatability (duplicate testing), tube-to-tube reproducibility (two tubes/lot), and lot-to-lot reproducibility (three lots) for PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa, compared to a similar comparator. (Implied acceptance: meeting non-inferiority criterion based on ratios appropriate to data structure).The evaluation passed the non-inferiority criterion for all tube comparisons, based on the ratios appropriate to the data structure for the selected coagulation analytes when compared with a similar comparator citrate anticoagulant tube (PT, aPTT, INR, D-Dimer, Anti-Factor Xa).

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the clinical test sets. It mentions "whole blood collected," but the number of subjects or samples is not specified.

    Data Provenance: "Clinical testing was conducted on whole blood collected in the subject device, BD Citrate Tubes, and a similar comparator tube." This implies the data were collected from human subjects, likely in a clinical setting. The country of origin is not specified, and it's a prospective collection for these studies as they were performed to demonstrate equivalence.

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

    This information is not applicable. The device is a blood collection tube, not an AI diagnostic system requiring expert interpretation of primary data (like medical images). The "ground truth" for clinical performance likely refers to the analytical results obtained from the blood samples, which are objectively measured by laboratory instruments.

    Intended Use

    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.

    Device Description

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    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.

    • 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.

    AI/ML Overview

    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:

    Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (Physical/Chemical Performance)

    The study was a series of non-clinical (bench) and clinical performance tests designed to demonstrate that the BD MiniDraw™ SST™ Capillary Blood Collection System performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

    1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for the physical device):

    The document lists "Acceptance Criteria" being "met" or "Pass" for each test but does not provide the specific quantitative thresholds for these criteria. It states that results were evaluated against "predetermined acceptance criteria" and "Clinical Acceptance Limits (CALs)".

    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:

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the BD MiniDraw Capillary Blood Collection System, a medical device for collecting blood samples. It discusses the device's intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance testing. However, it does not include information about AI/ML models, image analysis, or expert consensus/adjudication for establishing ground truth, which are typically found in the context of AI/ML-driven medical device submissions.

    Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing the acceptance criteria and study proving device performance (especially those related to AI/ML, ground truth establishment by experts, and MRMC studies) cannot be extracted from this document.

    The document focuses on the physical and chemical performance of a blood collection device, primarily comparing its ability to collect, transport, and preserve blood samples for Hemoglobin (HgB) and Hematocrit (HCT) analysis, and ensuring its stability, compatibility with existing lab equipment (Sysmex XN-Series™ analyzers), and user-friendliness.

    Here's what can be extracted and what cannot:

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

    The document primarily lists non-clinical (bench) tests with a "Pass" outcome, indicating that the device met the established acceptance criteria for these physical and mechanical properties. For clinical performance, it states that "clinical equivalence" and "non-inferiority" criteria were met, but does not provide quantitative acceptance limits or exact reported values for these.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated with a specific number of subjects/samples for each clinical study (Method Comparison, Lot-to-Lot, etc.). It only mentions that studies were performed internally at BD's Franklin Lakes laboratory, or externally at Babson Diagnostics' laboratory, externally at Research Management, Inc. (RMI), or some combination.
    • Data Provenance: The locations mentioned (Franklin Lakes, Babson Diagnostics, RMI) suggest US-based data. The studies are described as prospective clinical performance evaluations ("performed to demonstrate that blood specimens collected... produced test results that are clinically equivalent...").

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

    • Not applicable/Not mentioned. This is not an AI/ML device relying on image interpretation or diagnostic accuracy where expert consensus would establish ground truth. The "ground truth" here is the result obtained from a reference blood collection tube and analysis on a Sysmex XN-Series™ system, which is a quantitative laboratory measurement.

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

    • Not applicable/Not mentioned. No human review or adjudication process is described for establishing ground truth for this type of device. The comparison is against established laboratory methods.

    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 blood collection system, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool that assists human readers.

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

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm. The performance evaluated is that of the physical blood collection device in comparison to other blood collection devices, when analyzed by a lab instrument.

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

    • The "ground truth" or reference for comparison were clinical laboratory results obtained from established, legally marketed predicate (BD Microtainer® MAP EDTA) and venous comparator (Greiner Vacuette® Blood Collection Tube with K2EDTA) devices, analyzed on Sysmex XN-Series™ systems. The criteria for equivalence/non-inferiority are based on "Clinical Acceptance Limits (CALs)" and the "associated Statistical Analysis Plan."

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable/Not mentioned. This is not an AI/ML model that requires training data.

    Intended Use

    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).

    Device Description

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    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.

    TestAcceptance Criteria (Implied by "Pass" result and regulatory context)Reported Device Performance
    Draw VolumeMust meet defined specificationsPass
    X-Value (likely relates to vacuum pressure or fill volume)Must meet defined specificationsPass
    Second Stopper PulloutMust meet defined specifications for stopper integrityPass
    Stopper/Shield SeparationMust meet defined specifications for closure integrityPass
    Stopper LeakageMust demonstrate no leakagePass
    Resistance to Breakage during Drop TestingMust withstand specified drop tests without breakagePass
    Resistance to Breakage During CentrifugationMust withstand specified centrifugal forces without breakagePass
    Ship Testing for Functional Performance of Packaging MaterialsMust maintain integrity and function after simulated shippingPass
    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 parametersNon-inferiority shown for all tube comparisons and hematology parameters on two instrument platforms.
    Within-Tube Type StabilityAnalytes 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-LifeProduct must maintain performance over proposed shelf life11 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.

    Intended Use

    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).

    Device Description

    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).

    AI/ML Overview

    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.
