The ALLY II UPS™ (Uterine Positioning System) is intended to assist the surgical staff in mounting, positioning and holding uterine manipulators during gynecological laparoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained operating room personnel in an operating room environment.

The ALLY II UPS™ (Uterine Positioning System) attaches to the operating room table and enables the bed-side assistant to readily mount, hold, and position the manipulator during laparoscopic surgical procedures. The ALLY II UPS enables access and provides the ability to maneuver and maintain the manipulator in a desired position. The ALLY II UPS consists of the ALLY II UPS and a manipulator adapter with built-in sterile drape, known as the adapter drape.

The CooperSurgical ALLY II UPS is a non-patient contacting, electromechanical device that consists of a single, multi-segmented, articulated arm. The ALLY II UPS can be attached to the standard operating room bed rail, and a separate, sterile, disposable Adapter Drape that is used to attach a uterine manipulator to the ALLY II UPS. When unlocked, the flexible arm allows the attached manipulator to be positioned by the user. The arm can then be locked in the desired position by releasing a foot pedal, activating a linear actuator that applies tension to an internal cable, drawing the segments together and thus locking the arm. The segmented design of the arm allows lateral/medial movement from a single point to position the uterine manipulator.

The purpose of this submission is to gain clearance for minor modifications made to the ALL Y Uterine Positioning System to meet user needs and allow for user convenience. The overall functionality and interface of the ALLY II UPS for the user remains the same.

The Endosee is provided with a docking station that recharges the battery in the display module and allows the user to download images/video from the internal device memory to an external computer.

The provided text describes the Endosee® System, a medical device used for diagnostic hysteroscopy and cystoscopy. The document, an FDA 510(k) summary, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific acceptance criteria for performance, a standalone study, or an MRMC study related to AI.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, and ground truth are not present in the provided text. The document primarily reports on non-clinical performance testing conducted to ensure safety and equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted and what cannot:

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

The document doesn't provide a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics for diagnostic accuracy or clinical effectiveness. Instead, it lists various non-clinical engineering and safety tests performed. While these tests have internal acceptance criteria, they are not typically clinical performance metrics. The closest general "performance" reported are the specifications that match the predicate device, such as Field of View and Direction of View, which are design specifications rather than clinical performance outcomes.

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

The document does not describe a clinical test set or data provenance in terms of patient data. The "test set" refers to physical samples of the device components (cannulas, display modules) subjected to various engineering and safety tests. For example, for shelf-life testing, samples were "Aged to 6-months" but the number of samples is not specified. There is no information about country of origin for any clinical data as none was presented.

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

This information is not applicable to the provided document. The "ground truth" in this context would typically refer to diagnostic accuracy established by expert clinicians (e.g., confirming the presence or absence of abnormalities in patient images). The provided document focuses on engineering and safety testing, not clinical diagnostic performance, and thus does not involve human experts establishing a clinical ground truth for a diagnostic test set.

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

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are used in clinical studies to resolve discrepancies among expert interpretations. The tests described are engineering and safety tests, which do not involve expert adjudication in this manner.

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

There is no mention of an MRMC comparative effectiveness study, nor is there any indication that the Endosee System incorporates AI or is intended for AI-assisted interpretation. The device is a direct visualization tool.

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

Not applicable. The Endosee System is a hardware device for direct visualization; it does not feature an algorithm that would operate in a "standalone" mode for diagnostic interpretation.

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

Not applicable. As noted above, since no clinical performance study focused on diagnostic accuracy is described, there's no mention of how clinical ground truth would be established. The "ground truth" for the engineering tests would be adherence to the specified technical standards and design requirements.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. The document does not describe any machine learning or algorithm development that would involve a "training set."

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set described.

The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for each test (e.g., number of devices tested in the pull-off or compression tests). However, it implies testing was performed on a sufficient number of devices to demonstrate the device meets acceptance criteria.

• Data Provenance: The tests are explicitly non-clinical performance and design validation tests on the physical device itself. The "cadaveric model" implies testing was performed using human cadavers.
  • Country of Origin of the Data: Not specified, but likely performed by or for CooperSurgical, Inc. in the US.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: These are prospective tests performed specifically for regulatory submission.

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

N/A. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML system requiring expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in a diagnostic context. The "ground truth" here is the physical performance of the device against engineering specifications.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

N/A. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are relevant for subjective interpretations (e.g., in medical image reading). For objective engineering tests (pull-off, compression, biocompatibility), the results are typically quantitative and directly measured against a specification.

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

No. An MRMC study is not applicable to a uterine manipulator. These studies are typically performed to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance for diagnostic tasks.

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

No. This a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on engineering specifications, material science principles, and established biocompatibility standards (e.g., ISO 10993). For the design validation, the "ground truth" was the device "performs as intended and meets user needs" in a cadaveric model, which would be an outcome-based assessment in a simulated use environment.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

N/A. This term is applicable to AI/ML models. For a physical device, the concept of a "training set" is not relevant in the same way. The design and manufacturing processes are iterative, but there's no defined "training set" as in machine learning.

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

N/A. As above, this concept doesn't apply to this kind of device.

The purpose was to "determine that the subject device enables acceptable visualization of the bladder in a standard urological procedure as it is currently designed." This refers to the algorithm/device itself (the cannula with its camera and light source) and its ability to provide clear visuals, not its performance in conjunction with human interpretation in a comparative effectiveness study.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• Ground Truth: Expert consensus based on direct visualization. The ground truth was established by the "participants" in the simulated operating room environment affirming that they could see all intended targets in the bladder using the device.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable/not mentioned. This was a direct performance validation study of a physical device's visualization capabilities, not an AI/algorithm development study.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

• Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable. As this was not an AI/algorithm development study, there was no separate training set for which ground truth would need to be established by experts for machine learning purposes.

An instant warm pack intended to be used on an infant's heel to increase blood circulation to the area to aid in the drawing of blood for analysis. It is a single use, non-toxic, non-sterile, disposable warmer.

The CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer, which is available in both a liquid version (The Infant Heel Warmer, Model 24401) and a gel version (WarmGel® Infant Heel Warmer, Model 20418), is a non-sterile, single-use, disposable device comprised of a biaxially oriented nylon (BON)/polyethylene outer pouch filled with a supersaturated solution of food grade sodium acetate and water (liquid version), or food grade sodium acetate, water, and hydroxyethylcellulose, a common thickener (gel version). An adhesive tape is attached to the pouch, which can hold the warmer in place if desired. The pouch also contains a stainless steel disc that, when flexed, initiates an exothermic crystallization of the sodium acetate, generating heat. When activated at 75° + 1° F, the maximum peak temperature of the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer is 107° F, which is reached in approximately 40 seconds and then gradually decreases over time.

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer (Model 24401) and WarmGel Infant Heel Warmer (Model 20418). This device is a hot or cold disposable pack and is classified as Class I. The submission primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving specific numerical acceptance criteria for a novel AI/software medical device.

Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/software device studies (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this traditional medical device submission.

Here's a breakdown of the available information regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, adapted to the context of this manual heating device:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The core "acceptance criteria" for this device are implicitly tied to demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, particularly regarding safety and effectiveness for its intended use. The primary performance aspect evaluated is its temperature profile and its effect on infant skin.

Study Details

The primary "study" described is a combination of non-clinical performance testing and an animal study.

1. Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:

   • Temperature Profile Testing: "For each sample, a calibrated thermocouple was attached to the center..." The exact number of samples tested for temperature profiling is not explicitly stated. It implies multiple samples were tested to establish the profile.
   • Animal Study: 6 pigs (3 light-skinned, 3 dark-skinned), aged 3 to 3.5 weeks.
   • Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally assumed to be internal laboratory testing by the manufacturer or contracted labs. The animal study involved "pigs."

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

   • Not Applicable in the context of an AI/software device. For this device, "ground truth" for temperature was measured by calibrated thermocouples. For the animal study, grading of thermal insult and erythema was done against "established criteria," implying veterinary or pathology expertise, but the number and specific qualifications of graders are not provided.

3. Adjudication method for the test set:

   • Not Applicable. This is not a human-reader-based diagnostic device.

4. 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/software diagnostic device that involves human readers.

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

   • Not Applicable. This is a physical heating device, not an algorithm.

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

   • Temperature Profile: Objective measurements from calibrated thermocouples.
   • Biocompatibility: Adherence to international standards (AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5:2003, AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-10:2010), likely involving established lab tests for cytotoxicity and sensitization/irritation.
   • Animal Study (Skin Safety): Visual grading against "established criteria" for thermal insult and erythema, which would typically involve macroscopic and potentially microscopic (pathology) assessment by trained personnel/veterinarians, but the specific detail is not explicitly provided.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • Not Applicable. This is not a device based on trained algorithms.

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

   • Not Applicable.

The Ally Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) is intended to assist the surgical staff in mounting, positioning and holding uterine manipulators during gynecological laparoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained operating room personnel in an operating room environment.

The Advincula Delineator™ Adapter Drape for the Ally Uterine Positioning System™ UPS is intended to assist the surgical staff in mounting, positioning, and holding uterine manipulators during gynecological laparoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained operating room personnel in an operating room environment.

The CooperSurgical Ally Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) consists of a single, multi- segmented, articulating arm that attaches to a standard operating room bed rail, and a separate, sterile, disposable Ally UPS Adapter Drape that is used to attach a uterine manipulator to the Ally UPS. When unlocked, the articulation of the arm allows the attached manipulator to be positioned by the user. The segmented design of the arm allows lateral/medial movement from a single point to position the uterine manipulator. The arm is then locked in the desired position by releasing a food pedal, activating a linear actuator that applies tension to an internal cable, drawing the segments together and thus locking the arm.

The Ally UPS is not intended for patient contact. The Adapter Drape for the Ally UPS is single- use and sterilized by ethylene oxide. The Ally UPS Adapter Drape secures either the Cooper Surgical RUMI II Uterine Manipulator Handle, or the Advincula Arch Uterine Manipulator Handle, to the distal end of the Ally UPS arm. The purpose of this submission is to gain clearance to add the new Advincula Delineator™ Adapter Drape to the system, which allows the Ally UPS to be used with the CooperSurgical Advincula Delineator™ Uterine Manipulator.

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the CooperSurgical Ally Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS), specifically an update to include the Advincula Delineator™ Adapter Drape. This is a medical device, and the information provided focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study of diagnostic performance or AI effectiveness.

Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI-related studies (like MRMC, human-in-the-loop, training set details) are not applicable here. The document details non-clinical performance testing for a physical device.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, focusing on the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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