The V. Mueller Cosgrove™ Flex Clamps are indicated to occlude a blood vessel temporarily. Used in pulmonary and gastrointestinal procedures and can be used to clamp over indwelling catheters. Also used in minimally invasive and standard open cardiovascular procedures for temporary occlusion of a blood vessel.
Each V. Mueller Cosgrove™ Flex Clamp device consists of a ring handle, flexible shaft and jaw. The design of the flexible shaft allows the end user to bend the shaft following clamping of the blood vessel providing the user a clear field of visualization to the surgical site.
The proposed device and the predicate device have a similar design, the same materials and the same manufacturing and fabrication methods/processes. The main difference between the subject device and the predicate device is a change to the wire configuration of the cable. In addition, the cleaning and sterilization instructions in the instructions for use were updated in accordance with current guidance. These changes do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "V. Mueller Cosgrove Flex Clamps." This device is a vascular clamp used to temporarily occlude blood vessels.
Based on the provided text, there is no information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to an AI or algorithm-driven system. The document, K210324, is for a physical medical device (vascular clamps) and its substantial equivalence to previously marketed predicate devices. The "Performance Data" section explicitly states: "N/A - No clinical tests were conducted for this submission." and "The results of the non-clinical tests demonstrate the V. Mueller Cosgrove™ Flex Clamps meet all performance requirements and are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/algorithm-driven device, as this document is not about such a device. The "acceptance criteria" and "performance data" discussed in the document relate to the physical properties, reusability, sterilization, and biocompatibility of the vascular clamp itself, as demonstrated by non-clinical tests.
If you intended to ask about a different document or a different type of device, please provide that information.
However, I can extract and present the existing acceptance criteria and performance data for the V. Mueller Cosgrove Flex Clamps as presented in the document, though it won't match the format for an AI/algorithm study:

---|---|---|
Sterilization Efficacy - Lethality (STERRAD NX Standard, Advanced; STERRAD 100 NX Standard, Flex, Express; V-PRO Non-Lumen, Lumen, Flexible) | ANSI AAMI ST 77 2013 | Testing demonstrated a 12 log reduction and a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10^-6 using biological (BI) overkill method. This means the device effectively sterilizes the enclosed medical instruments to a high degree of confidence. |
Aerosol Challenge (STERRAD NX Advanced, STERRAD 100NX Standard, VPRO 60 Lumen) | ANSI AAMI ST 77 2013 | Containers subjected to an aerosol challenge test with an exposure of 1.0 - 5.0 x 10^6 CFU. Agar vessels placed in each container sample demonstrated no growth of the indicator organism following the incubation period. This indicates the container effectively acts as a microbial barrier and prevents contamination. |
Cycled Aerosol / Limits of Reuse (STERRAD 100NX Standard, VPRO 1-Plus/60 Lumen) | ANSI AAMI ST 77 2013 | After 100 simulated full use cycles or the equivalent followed by an aerosol challenge test with an exposure of 1.0 - 5.0 x 10^6 CFU, agar vessels placed in each container sample demonstrated no growth of the indicator organism following the incubation period. This demonstrates the container maintains its microbial barrier effectiveness even after repeated use. |
Simulated Use (STERRAD NX Advanced, STERRAD 100NX Flex, VPRO maX Flexible, VPRO 60 Flexible) | ANSI AAMI ST 77 2013 | Testing demonstrated no recovery of viable challenge organism (all sterile results) from the lumens on the test device after processing within a worst-case Genesis Container as part of a worst-case cycle simulated use container validation load. This confirms the device's ability to sterilize challenging configurations, such as lumens, under realistic usage scenarios. |
Shelf Life / Package Integrity (STERRAD NX Advanced, STERRAD 100NX Standard, VPRO 60 Lumen) - For maintaining sterility for a maximum of 180 days. | ANSI AAMI ST 77 2013 | All sample devices remained sterile (exhibit no growth) following exposure to a full sterilization cycle and weekly rotation events at a 180-day storage duration. This validates the 180-day sterility maintenance claim. |
Filter Material Properties (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Trapezoidal Tear Strength, and Burst Strength) before and after sterilization (STERRAD NX Advanced, STERRAD 100NX Standard, VPRO 60 Lumen) | Filter properties were reported | All filter properties were found to be acceptable. This indicates the filter media maintains its physical and functional integrity after sterilization, which is crucial for maintaining the microbial barrier. |
Biocompatibility (for accessories used in the system, processed in low-temperature sterilization modalities) | ISO 10993-4 2009 | Blood hemolysis testing demonstrated that any accessories used in the Genesis™ Low Temperature Sterilization Container System are acceptable for use after processing in the low-temperature sterilization modalities. This confirms that the materials interacting with the medical devices after sterilization are safe for patient contact. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document provides details of the tests performed but does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes for each test set. For instance:
- Aerosol Challenge: "Containers subjected to an aerosol challenge test with an exposure of 1.0 - 5.0 x 10^6 CFU. Agar vessels placed in each container sample..." implies multiple container samples were used, but the specific number is not given.
- Cycled Aerosol / Limits of Reuse: "After 100 simulated full use cycles or the equivalent followed by an aerosol challenge test with an exposure of 1.0 - 5.0 x 10^6 CFU. Agar vessels placed in each container sample..." again implies multiple samples over 100 cycles, but the number of distinct items tested is not specified.
- Simulated Use: "no recovery of viable challenge organism...from the lumens on the test device after processing within a worst case Genesis Container as part of a worst case cycle simulated use container validation load." This suggests a focus on "worst-case" scenarios, likely involving a limited number of "test devices" and container configurations, but the exact count isn't in the provided text.
- Shelf Life / Package Integrity: "All sample devices remained sterile...following exposure to a full sterilization cycle and weekly rotation events at a 180 day storage duration" implies multiple "sample devices" but the number is not provided.
- Biocompatibility: "Blood hemolysis testing demonstrated that any accessories used..." does not specify the number of accessories or tests performed.
The data provenance is not specified regarding country of origin; however, the context of an FDA 510(k) submission implies testing conducted under relevant regulatory standards. The studies described are prospective in nature, as they involve performing specific tests (e.g., sterilization cycles, aerosol challenges, simulated use, shelf-life studies) to validate performance criteria for the device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:

Therefore, there were no human experts establishing ground truth in the way one might for diagnostic imaging.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as this is a non-clinical device performance study based on objective measurements against defined standards, not an assessment requiring human interpretation or adjudication for ground truth.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No. This document pertains to the performance validation of a sterilization container system, which is a physical medical device, not an AI or diagnostic imaging system. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used in these studies is objective, measurable criteria defined by recognized scientific standards and validated laboratory methods. This includes:
- Microbiological Negativity: Absence of microbial growth (biological indicators, indicator organisms in aerosol challenge) to establish sterility.
- Sterility Assurance Level (SAL): Quantitative measure (10^-6) of sterilization effectiveness.
- Physical and Mechanical Integrity: Maintaining filter properties (BFE, tear strength, burst strength), container integrity.
- Biocompatibility: Demonstrating no harmful interactions with blood (hemolysis testing).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided document does not specify the exact sample sizes (e.g., number of instruments tested) for each non-clinical performance test. It only states that the tests were conducted and the device "PASSED" the criteria.
Data provenance: Not explicitly stated, but these are typically retrospective non-clinical engineering and laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturer, CareFusion 2200 Inc. The country of origin of the data would likely be the location where CareFusion performs its product testing, which can be global, but typically for FDA submissions, the testing adheres to international (ISO) and US (AAMI, ANSI) standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
This question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for physical device performance tests like strength, pull, force, reliability, cleaning validation, and biocompatibility is established by engineering specifications, recognized national and international standards (e.g., AAMI, ANSI, ISO), and regulatory requirements, not by expert medical opinion in the same way an AI model's diagnostic accuracy might be judged. These tests are objective measurements against defined thresholds.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used for subjective assessments or when there's ambiguity in classifying clinical data for ground truth establishment. For the objective non-clinical performance tests mentioned, the results are typically quantitative measurements that either meet or fail pre-defined acceptance limits based on standards and engineering requirements.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "N/A - No clinical tests were conducted for this submission." MRMC studies are typically for evaluating diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness, often involving human readers and AI assistance, neither of which is present in this submission.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
No, a standalone study (referring to an algorithm's performance) was not done. This submission is for a physical surgical instrument, not an AI or algorithm-based device.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance tests undertaken are:
- Engineering Specifications and Design Requirements: For parameters like instrument strength, inadvertent disassembly, ease of disassembly/reassembly, handle reusability, and handle compatibility. These are defined by the manufacturer based on expected operational loads and user interaction.
- National and International Standards: For aspects like cleanability and sterilizability (e.g., AAMI TIR12, AAMI TIR30, ANSI AAMI ST79, ANSI AAMI ST81, ISO 11138, ISO 17664, ISO 17665) and biocompatibility (ISO 10993). These standards provide objective criteria and methodologies for testing.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. There is no AI/algorithm, so there is no training set for an algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable, as there is no AI/algorithm and thus no training set.

2. Sample size(s) used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document mentions "Testing" for sterilization efficacy and dry time but does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of containers, number of cycles, number of biological indicators, etc.) for the test sets.
- Data provenance is not explicitly stated regarding country of origin or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective. Given it's a 510(k) submission for a medical device by a US-based company (CareFusion 2200 Inc, Vernon Hills, IL), and referring to an FDA guidance document (ST 77 2013), it is prospective testing conducted in a controlled laboratory setting, likely within the US.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This document describes non-clinical performance testing of a sterilization container, not a diagnostic or AI-driven medical imaging device. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" in the context of clinical interpretation (e.g., radiologists) is not applicable.
- The "ground truth" for sterilization efficacy is established by scientific principles and validated biological indicators (BI) and sterility assurance levels (SAL) as per recognized standards (ST 77 2013). The validation of dry time is based on the "absence of visible moisture." These are objective measurements rather than subjective expert consensus.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- As this is non-clinical performance testing, adjudication methods typically used for subjective clinical assessments are not applicable. The results are based on objective laboratory measurements and adherence to specified performance standards.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No, this is not applicable. The document is for a physical medical device (sterilization container), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No, this is not applicable. This document pertains to a physical sterilization container.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The ground truth for the performance of the sterilization container is based on objective measurements of sterilization efficacy and dryness as defined by recognized industry standards (ST 77 2013).
- For sterilization efficacy: achieving a 12 log reduction and a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10^-6 using biological indicators (overkill method).
- For dry time: absence of visible moisture.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This relates to a physical device evaluated through non-clinical performance testing, not an AI model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As indicated in point 8, there is no training set for this type of device evaluation.

- Objective measurement against engineering specifications (e.g., electrical rating, cutting force, coagulation effectiveness).
- Compliance with recognized international standards (IEC, ISO) for medical device safety and performance.
- Material properties and biological response based on standardized biocompatibility tests.
- Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) based on validated sterilization protocols.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
