    Intended Use

    EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) is intended for topical cooling of in situ, abdominal donor organs during intraoperative recovery from the donor. It is also intended to maintain organ hypothermia during storage and transport to the transplant recipient. EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) is used to establish, and maintain hypothermia of donor organs during recovery, storage, and transport.

    It is also indicated for use during open surgical procedures such as cardiovascular, abdominal, and transplant surgeries.

    Organ Recovery
    Prior to organ recovery, EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) is delivered to the open peritoneal cavity of the donor to assist in creating hypothermia by topically cooling external surfaces of organs for recovery. During organ recovery, if ice crystals are no longer visible, the temperature of the saline solution will begin to rise and additional slushed solution may be delivered per established transplant team procedures. (Temperature rise may be assessed with temperature probes, being careful that the probe is measuring the solution and is not in contact with the organ).

    Organ Storage/Transport
    For organ storage/transport, EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) may be used to topically cool external surfaces of a sterile, sealed, primary organ bag containing chilled preservation solution and the organ. In this application, the slushed solution may be added to a secondary bag or to a tertiary hard container to surround the primary organ bag. Once bagged, the organ can be placed in a bed of non-sterile ice in an insulated transport container, which is then closed. Actual use should follow standard practices of the OPO or hospital for transporting and storing specific types of donor organs using sterile, slush solutions.

    Surgical Procedure
    During surgical procedures, EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) is delivered to assist in creating hypothermia by topically cooling external surfaces of organs. During the procedure, if ice crystals are no longer visible, the temperature of the saline solution will begin to rise and additional slushed solution may be delivered per established surgical team procedures.

    Device Description

    EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation (BTLE-1250) is a clear, colorless 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution for preparation of slushed solution to provide hypothermia during the recovery, storage, and transport of donor organs for transplantation and to induce regional hypothermia in certain surgical procedures such as open heart and kidney procedures by direct application of slushed solution. The solution is sterile, non-pyrogenic, isotonic and is contained in a 2L sterile, flexible, non- PVC bag.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document, an FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for EasiSlush® Sodium Chloride Solution, is for a medical device that acts as a sterile slush for topical cooling during surgical procedures and organ transport. It is NOT an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the information requested in the prompt, which pertains to the acceptance criteria and study proving an AI/ML device's performance (including details like test set sample size, ground truth establishment with experts, MRMC studies, etc.), is not applicable to this document.

    The 510(k) discusses the substantial equivalence of the updated EasiSlush® product (K243618) to its previously cleared version (K191006) by detailing changes in its intended use and indications for use, while emphasizing that the core technological characteristics, composition, and safety profile remain unchanged.

    To summarize why the specific questions about AI/ML device performance cannot be answered from this document:

    • No AI/ML Component: The device is a physical saline solution for cooling. It does not involve any artificial intelligence or machine learning components.
    • Substantial Equivalence Study, Not Performance Study: The document describes a "substantial equivalence discussion" showing that the new device (K243618) is equivalent to a predicate device (K191006), primarily by demonstrating that changes to its "Indications for Use" for surgical procedures do not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness, as the technological characteristics, formulation, and mode of action are unchanged. This is different from a performance study for an AI/ML model.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is an FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for a medical device called "Belzer UW® Cold Storage Solution (BTLBUW-001)". This document is for a cold storage solution used for organ preservation, not for an AI-powered diagnostic device.

    Therefore, the document does not contain information related to:

    • Acceptance criteria for an AI device's performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
    • Sample sizes for test sets and training sets for an AI model.
    • Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment.
    • Adjudication methods for test sets.
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or effect sizes of human reader improvement with AI assistance.
    • Standalone algorithm performance.
    • Type of ground truth used for AI models (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of the new cold storage solution (Belzer UW®) to a legally marketed predicate device (CoStorSol® Solution). The "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria is primarily a non-clinical comparison of product characteristics and safety/performance testing (biocompatibility, sterility, shelf life).

    Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided in the document:

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

    The document doesn't present "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of quantitative thresholds for an AI/diagnostic device's performance (e.g., "Sensitivity > X%"). Instead, it compares the proposed device's characteristics to those of its predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be established through:

    • Chemical analysis to verify composition, osmolarity, and pH.
    • Microbiological testing to verify sterility and non-pyrogenicity.
    • Biocompatibility testing (in vitro and potentially in vivo animal studies, referenced as ISO 10993 standards) to ensure the material does not cause adverse biological reactions.
    • Stability studies to confirm shelf life and maintain properties over time.
    • Functional performance testing (e.g., in animal models or ex-vivo organ models, although not explicitly detailed in this summary, would typically be part of the full submission for a device of this nature) to show the solution preserves organs effectively.

    Intended Use

    Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001) is indicated for the in vitro flushing and continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of explanted abdominal organs.

    Device Description

    Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001) is a clear to straw-colored, sterile, non-pyrogenic solution for the in-vitro flushing and continuous perfusion of explanted abdominal organs. The Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001) has the same composition and indication for use as MaPerSol® Organ Preservation Solution.

    The solution is consistent with an extracellular solution, based on its sodium/potassium ratio and has a calculated potassium concentration of 25 mEq/L, a sodium concentration of 100 mEq/L, an osmolarity of 300 mosmol/kg, and a pH of approximately 7.4 at 20°C.

    The Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001) is supplied in single use 1000mL solution bags, made from flexible PVC free material (e.g., laminated EVA film) with at least two integrated ports including ports for delivery and component addition. Each individual bag is enclosed in a protective outer overwrap bag. The solution is sterile and is intended for one single use.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001). This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (MaPerSol® Solution, K080432), rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and performance study data typically associated with de novo clearances or PMAs for novel devices or software.

    Therefore, much of the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria" and "the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of algorithm performance for an AI/ML device is not applicable in this specific document. The "acceptance criteria" in this context are for demonstrating substantial equivalence of a solution composition and function, not algorithmic performance.

    Here's what can be extracted and what cannot:

    1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance:

    • Acceptance Criteria (for Substantial Equivalence to Predicate): The core acceptance criterion is that Belzer MPS® (BMPS-001) is "substantially equivalent in composition, safety and efficacy" to the predicate device, MaPerSol® Solution. This is primarily demonstrated by:
      • Same Indications for Use: Flushing and continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of explanted abdominal organs.
      • Same Composition: The exact chemical composition (components and g/L) is identical to the predicate.
      • Same Technological Characteristics: pH, Osmolality, Product State (liquid), Single Use, Storage Temperature, Pre-cooling requirements, Internal cooling mechanism, Product Bag materials, Pyrogenicity, Sterility methods, Biocompatibility (as per ISO standards), Fluid Volume.
    • Reported Device Performance: The document states that the device is "safe and effective as predicate and reference devices" and that "The non-clinical data supports and demonstrates the safety of the device." No specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., organ viability rates, post-transplant outcomes) are provided for the Belzer MPS® itself, as its equivalence is established based on its identical composition and intended use to a proven predicate. The "performance" is implicitly deemed equivalent to that of the predicate.
    Criteria CategoryAcceptance Criteria (for Substantial Equivalence)Reported Performance (for Belzer MPS®)
    Intended UseMust be the same as or very similar to the predicate device.Belzer MPS®: Indicated for "in-vitro flushing and continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of explanted abdominal organs."
    Predicate (MaPerSol®): Indicated for "in vitro flushing and continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of explanted kidneys."
    Comparison: The subject device is similar to the predicate, with a slightly broader indication ("abdominal organs" vs. "kidneys"). This is a key point where the manufacturer argues "similarity" based on other shared characteristics.
    CompositionMust be identical to the predicate device.Belzer MPS®: Identical chemical composition (Adenine, Calcium Chloride, Dextrose, Glutathione, HEPES, Hydroxyethyl Starch, Magnesium Gluconate, Mannitol, Potassium Phosphate, Ribose, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sterile Water) and concentrations (g/L, mmol/L) as the predicate.
    Comparison: Same Chemical Composition.
    Technological CharacteristicspH, Osmolality, Product State, Single Use, Storage Temperature, Pre-cooling, Internal cooling mechanism, Product Bag materials, Pyrogenicity, Sterility methods, Biocompatibility, Fluid Volume, Container type. Must be same or demonstrate equivalent safety/efficacy.pH: Approx. 7.4 at 20°C (Same as predicate).
    Osmolality: 300 mOsmol/kg (Same as predicate).
    Product State: Liquid – Solution (Same as predicate).
    Single Use Only: Yes (Same as predicate).
    Storage Temperature: 2°-25°C (Same as predicate).
    Pre-Cooling: 2°-8°C (Same as predicate).
    In-Situ Organ Cooling: Internal cooling from perfusion of cold solution (Same as predicate).
    Maintain Cold Organ Temperature: Directly cools external/internal surfaces (Same as predicate).
    Primary Container: PVC-Free Bag (Equivalent to predicate).
    Pyrogenicity: Non-Pyrogenic (Same as predicate).
    Sterility: Aseptic processing and sterile filtration (Same as predicate).
    Biocompatibility: In accordance with ISO 10993 (Equivalent to predicate).
    Fluid Volume: 1000 mL (Same as predicate).
    Safety and EfficacyMust be demonstrated to be equally safe and effective as the predicate device, typically through non-clinical testing and comparative analysis."The non-clinical data supports and demonstrates the safety of the device." "The Belzer MPS® (UW Machine Perfusion Solution) (BMPS-001) is safe and effective as predicate and reference devices." "Substantially equivalent in biocompatibility to the predicate device via testing and biological risk assessment."
    Shelf LifeMust be established and justified.6 Months (Currently, with an on-going study to meet 24 months, matching the predicate).

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

    • This document does not describe a clinical study in the form typically seen for AI device validation with test sets of patient data. The "test set" here refers to the parameters/characteristics of the solution itself and its manufacturing process, not patient data.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of patient data. The data provenance relates to the chemical composition, physical properties, manufacturing processes, sterilization, and biocompatibility studies conducted on the solution and its packaging materials. These are typically generated through laboratory testing of the product itself.

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

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that generates diagnoses or interpretations requiring expert ground truth in the radiological sense. The "ground truth" for this device relates to its chemical and physical properties meeting specified standards, and its safety/efficacy being equivalent to a known predicate. This is established through standard laboratory testing, chemical analysis, and biocompatibility assessments by qualified personnel in those fields, not expert radiologists creating consensus labels.

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

    • Not applicable. This methodology is for clinical image interpretation or similar tasks requiring human consensus or adjudication, which is not relevant to a medical solution like Belzer MPS®.

    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 not an AI-assisted interpretation device. No MRMC study was conducted or is applicable.

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

    • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm. Therefore, no standalone performance study was done.

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

    • The "ground truth" for this device is based on analytical chemistry, physical property measurements, biocompatibility testing (in vitro and in vivo animal models often), and sterility testing to confirm the product's specifications and safety. The ultimate "ground truth" for "substantial equivalence" rests on the established safety and efficacy of the predicate device, MaPerSol® Solution, which presumably underwent its own validation studies years prior (K080432).

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is a chemical solution, not an AI/ML model that requires training data.

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

    • Not applicable. As above, no training set or ground truth in the AI/ML context.

    Intended Use

    The OrganProtex™ HTK Solution is indicated for perfusion and flushing of donor kidneys, liver, pancreas and heart prior to removal from the donor or immediately after removal from the donor. The solution is left in the organ vasculature during hypothermic storage and transportation to the patient. OrganProtex™ HTK Solution is not indicated for continuous machine perfusion of donor organs.

    Device Description

    OrganProtex™ HTK Solution is a clear, colorless to pale yellow colored solution, sterile, nonpyrogenic electrolyte and amino acid aqueous solution for organ perfusion and preservation. OrganProtex™ HTK Solution is indicated for perfusion and flushing of donor kidneys, liver, pancreas and heart prior to removal from the donor or immediately after removal from the donor. The solution is left in the organ vasculature during hypothermic storage and transportation to the patient. OrganProtex™ HTK Solution is not indicated for continuous machine perfusion of donor organs.

    Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate or HTK solution is a high-flow, low-potassium preservation solution used for organ transplantation. The solution was initially developed by Hans-Jurgen Bretschneider.

    HTK solution is based on the principle of inactivating organ function by withdrawal of extracellular sodium and calcium, together with intensive buffering of the extracellular space by means of histidine hydrochloride, so as to prolong the period during which the organs will tolerate interruption of oxygenated blood. The composition of HTK is similar to that of extracellular fluid. All of the components of HTK, with the exception of mannitol, occur naturally in the body. The solution should be used only by medical healthcare staff, adequately trained according to established operating protocols.

    AI/ML Overview

    The document describes the OrganProtex™ HTK Solution, which is an organ preservation solution. This device is applying for 510(k) clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Custodiol® HTK Solution (K192408).

    Here's an analysis based on your request:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Since this is a 510(k) submission for a medical solution, the "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" are primarily focused on demonstrating equivalence in composition, function, and safety to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a quantifiable performance metric against a specific clinical outcome.

    The main acceptance criterion for a 510(k) is demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device. This is achieved by showing that the new device has the same intended use, and either the same technological characteristics or, if different, that these differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

    The document provides a detailed comparison table (Table 6.0 in the original document, reproduced below as "Comparison of Technological Characteristics") that serves as the reported device performance against the predicate.

    This is a submission for a medical solution, not typically a device that undergoes "test set" evaluation in the same way an AI/software device would. The "test set" here refers to the data and testing used to demonstrate the solution's properties (sterility, pH, osmolality, shelf life, biocompatibility).

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document doesn't specify a numerical "sample size" in terms of how many units of OrganProtex™ HTK Solution were tested for each non-clinical performance category (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life). These are standard laboratory tests typically performed on a statistically relevant batch size for manufacturing quality control and regulatory submission.
    • Data Provenance: The manufacturing entity is Rusoma Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. in India. The studies performed (biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life) were conducted to demonstrate the properties necessary for substantial equivalence. The document doesn't specify if the underlying data/tests were conducted retrospectively or prospectively, but typically, these are prospectively planned tests to support the submission.

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

    This type of information (number of experts, qualifications, and ground truth establishment) is typically relevant for studies involving human interpretation, such as image analysis for diagnosis. For a medical solution like OrganProtex™ HTK Solution, there isn't a "ground truth" established by human experts in the same way. The ground truth for its properties (like sterility, pH, composition) is established through analytical chemistry, microbiology, and physical property testing performed by qualified laboratory personnel following validated methods.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for this type of device. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are common in clinical trials or human performance studies where multiple experts evaluate cases and discrepancies are reconciled. The non-clinical performance data for OrganProtex™ HTK Solution relies on objective laboratory measurements.

    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 medical solution (a liquid for organ preservation), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive device. Therefore, MRMC studies and the concept of "human readers" or "AI assistance" are not relevant here.

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

    Not applicable. This is a medical solution and does not involve any algorithms or software for standalone performance.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the non-clinical performance data is based on:

    • Analytical Chemistry: For composition, pH, osmolality.
    • Microbiology Testing: For sterility and pyrogenicity.
    • Biocompatibility Testing: In accordance with ISO 10993 standards.
    • Stability Studies: To determine shelf life.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This product is a medical solution, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

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

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

    Intended Use

    Cannula for Organ Perfusion is a single-use device indicated for hypothermic flushing and replacement of residual blood in donor organs with a legally marketed organ preservation solution at the time of organ removal from the donor during the preparation of these organs for transplantation. This device is indicated for use with gravity flow; no testing has been provided for use with pump systems, such as mechanical perfusion devices.

    Device Description

    The Cannula for Organ Perfusion is a device designed and intended as a component to an organ perfusion and transport system / organ preservation solution, used in an organ transplantation procedure. The device is a cannula (available in several different sizes) intended for flushing and replacement of residual blood in donor organs with organ preservation solution during the preparation processes of these organs for transplantation. The cannulas are single use, sterile, non-toxic and nonpyrogenic devices. As a component to an organ perfusion and transport system / organ preservation solution, the Cannula for Organ Perfusion is also a Class II medical device, subject to Product Code KDN and MSB, 21 CFR 876.5880: "This generic type of device may include tubing, catheters, connectors, an ice storage or freezing container with or without bag or preservatives, pulsatile or nonpulsatile hypothermic isolated organ perfusion apparatus with or without oxygenator, and disposable perfusion set." (21 CFR 876.5880(a)).

    The Cannulas come in multiple sizes, according to the French catheter scale, including 8F, 10F, 12F, 16F (adjustable to 18F with a slidable ring), 20F (adjustable to 28F with a slidable ring), 25F (adjustable to 34F with a slidable ring). In addition, there is a configuration of the cannula that is intended for "back table" procedures, which is available in a 16F size.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) submission describes the "Cannula for Organ Perfusion" device. The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a detailed study of the device's performance against specific acceptance criteria.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The submission does not provide a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics for the device in the manner typically seen for algorithmic or diagnostic devices. Instead, it relies on bench testing results and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

    Here's a re-interpretation of "acceptance criteria" based on the performed tests:

    Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from tests)Reported Device Performance
    Tensile strength (ISO 10555-1)Pass
    Leakage and tightness (ISO 10555-1)Pass
    Flow rate (ISO 10555-1)Adequate flow of liquid
    Sterility (SAL 1 x 10^-6)Achieved via ETO sterilization
    Shelf lifeEstablished via real-time aging testing
    Biocompatibility: CytotoxicityComplies with EN ISO 10993-1
    Biocompatibility: Sensitizing effectComplies with EN ISO 10993-1
    Biocompatibility: Intracutaneous reactivityComplies with EN ISO 10993-1
    Biocompatibility: Systemic (acute) toxicityComplies with EN ISO 10993-1
    Biocompatibility: Blood compatibilityComplies with EN ISO 10993-1
    Biocompatibility: Rabbit pyrogenicityComplies with EN ISO 10993-1

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The tests performed are bench tests (tensile strength, leakage, flow rate) and biocompatibility tests, which typically do not involve a "test set" in the context of patient data. The "samples" would be individual units of the cannula. There is no mention of country of origin for any data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

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

    This information is not applicable/not provided. The device is a physical medical device (cannula) and the tests performed are physical and biological evaluations, not diagnostic or image-based assessments requiring expert ground truth establishment.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable/not provided as there is no "test set" requiring adjudication in the context of this submission. The tests are laboratory-based and measure physical properties or biological responses.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical cannula for organ perfusion, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance is irrelevant to this submission.

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

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical cannula, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    This information is not applicable in the traditional sense of a diagnostic device. For the bench tests, the "ground truth" would be the established engineering and ISO standards against which the device performance is measured (e.g., specific tensile strength values for a "Pass"). For biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is compliance with documented biological safety standards like EN ISO 10993-1, which dictate acceptable levels of biological response.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable/not provided. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

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

    This information is not applicable as there is no training set.

    Intended Use

    EasiSlush™ slushed solution is intended for topical cooling of in-situ, abdominal donor organs during intraoperative recovery from the donor. It is also intended to maintain organ hypothermia during storage and transport to the transplant recipient.

    EasiSlush™ slushed solution is used to establish, and maintain hypothermia of donor organs during recovery, storage, and transport.

    Organ Recovery

    Prior to organ recovery, EasiSlush™ slushed solution is delivered to the open peritoneal cavity of the donor to assist in creating hypothermia by topically cooling external surfaces of organs for recovery.

    During organ recovery, if ice crystals are no longer visible, the temperature of the saline solution will begin to rise and additional EasiSlush slushed solution may be delivered per established transplant team procedures. (Temperature rise may be assessed with temperature probes, being careful that the probe is measuring the solution and is not in contact with the organ).

    Organ Storage/Transport

    For organ storage/transport, EasiSlush™ slushed solution may be used to topically cool external surfaces of a sterile, sealed, primary organ bag containing chilled preservation solution and the organ. In this application, EasiSlush may be added to a secondary bag or to a tertiary hard container to surround the primary organ bag. Once bagged, the organ can be placed in a bed of non-sterile ice in an insulated transport container, which is then closed. Actual use should follow standard practices of the OPO or hospital for transporting and storing specific types of donor organs using sterile, slush solutions.

    Device Description

    EasiSlush (Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation) is 1.25L sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride Solution in a 2L bag. It meets the USP 34 monograph for Sodium Chloride Irrigation. It is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic solution that is chilled for the preparation of slushed solution.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for EasiSlush™ (Sodium Chloride Solution for Sterile Slush Preparation). It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices, focusing on the concept of substantial equivalence.

    However, the summary does not contain the information requested in points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of your prompt. The document explicitly states:

    • "No clinical testing has been performed on this device." (Page 10)

    This means there was no multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, no standalone algorithm performance, and no test or training sets with associated ground truth established by experts.

    The acceptance criteria and performance data discussed are limited to non-clinical performance testing (biocompatibility, leachables, sterility, and performance bench tests related to temperature and USP standards).

    Therefore, I cannot provide a detailed response to your request, as the necessary information regarding clinical study design, acceptance criteria based on clinical outcomes, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment from such studies is absent from this document.
