The Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner is a Track 3 diagnostic ultrasound pulsed Doppler and pulsed echo imaging system capable of the following operating modes: B (including harmonic imaging), M, Pulsed and Continuous Doppler, and Color Flow (including Amplitude Doppler). It is intended for general ultrasound imaging of the human body, with specific uses under the general applications of cardiac, peripheral vessel, and fetal imaging and other.
The provided documentation for the Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner is a 510(k) premarket notification summary. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than providing detailed performance studies with acceptance criteria in the same way a de novo or PMA submission might.
Therefore, the document does not contain the explicit acceptance criteria, specific study designs, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or detailed ground truth information as requested. Instead, it describes compliance with existing standards and refers to the device's intended uses.
However, I can extract and infer some information based on the typical requirements for a 510(k) submission for an ultrasound device.
Here's an attempt to address your points, with the caveat that detailed information is not present in the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As noted, the document does not present a table of quantitative acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) or clinical outcomes. Instead, performance is established by demonstrating compliance with recognized safety standards and substantial equivalence to predicate devices for specific clinical applications and operational modes.
Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from 510(k) Process) | Reported Device Performance (Inferred/Stated in Doc) |
---|---|---|
Acoustic Output Safety | Compliance with "Standard for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (1992)" (NEMA UD-3). | Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner complies with NEMA UD-3. |
Compliance with guideline limits set in the April 14, 1994, Revision of 510(k) Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance. | Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner complies with the guideline limits. | |
General Electrical Safety | Compliance with IEC 601-1 (1988) Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1, General Requirements for Safety. | Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner is designed to comply with IEC 601-1 (1988). |
Intended Use Equivalence | The device performs the intended diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis for specified clinical applications and modes of operation to a level substantially equivalent to predicate devices. | The device is determined to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices for the specified indications for use, across various clinical applications (Fetal Imaging, Abdominal, Intra-operative, Pediatric, Small Organ, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Trans-rectal, Trans-vaginal, Musculo-skeletal, Cardiac, Peripheral Vessel) and modes (B, M, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler, Combined, Amplitude Doppler, Harmonic Imaging) with various transducers. The specific applications are marked 'N' (new indication) on the provided tables. |
Post-Clearance Acoustic Output | Submission of a post-clearance special report containing complete acoustic output measurements based on production line devices, meeting approved levels. | This is a condition of clearance; the report is required to be submitted and must contain acceptable values to maintain 510(k) clearance. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not specify any sample size for a clinical test set. 510(k) submissions for diagnostic ultrasound equipment primarily rely on engineering performance data, compliance with standards, and comparison to predicate devices, rather than de novo clinical trial data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable, as detailed patient data or clinical study data is not presented. The "study" here refers to the demonstration of compliance with standards and the technical specifications that show equivalence.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- This information is not provided in the document. A 510(k) for a diagnostic ultrasound does not typically require a human-read diagnostic performance study with expert-established ground truth in the same way an AI/CADe device might. The focus is on the technical capability of the imaging system.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable, as a clinical test set with adjudicated ground truth is not described.
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a diagnostic ultrasound scanner, not an AI or CADe (Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis) system designed to assist human readers. Thus, there is no AI component for human readers to improve with or without.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This is a hardware imaging device, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- For the purpose of this 510(k), the "ground truth" for the device's performance relies on compliance with established engineering standards (e.g., NEMA UD-3, IEC 601-1) for acoustic output and electrical safety, and the technical specifications demonstrating that the device can acquire images suitable for the listed clinical applications in various modes, similar to its predicate devices. There is no mention of pathology, expert consensus on clinical cases, or outcomes data in this summary.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This device is a diagnostic ultrasound scanner; it is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for such a device would relate to engineering design and testing, not data-driven model training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.
In summary, the provided document demonstrates the Hitachi EUB-6000 Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner meets acceptance criteria primarily through compliance with recognized safety and performance standards and by establishing substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate ultrasound devices for its specified intended uses. It is crucial to understand that a 510(k) submission for a primary imaging device like this differs significantly from submissions for AI/CADe software, which would typically contain the detailed performance study information you requested.

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Convergence SM CDR SM for Hitachi SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP Gamma Cameras," a Coincidence Imaging Device (CID) option. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in a detailed clinical study with statistical endpoints.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a detailed performance table in the typical sense of a clinical trial. Instead, it asserts that the device has been "thoroughly tested and verified to operate properly and as intended" and that the "results of transmission reconstruction and attenuation coefficient determination has proven effective." It also mentions "Clinical tests have documented effective application and expected results consistent with predicate devices currently in commercial distribution."
The primary performance claim is substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The testing that was conducted was to "establish the basis for proper operation" and included phantom studies.
Feature / Performance Area | Acceptance Criteria (Implied / Assumed) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Proper Operation | Functions as intended for a Coincidence Imaging Device (CID) option. | "acquisition, analysis and correction results have been thoroughly tested and verified to operate properly and as intended." |
Effectiveness of Transmission Reconstruction & Attenuation Coefficient Determination | Provides accurate and reliable transmission reconstruction and attenuation coefficient determination. | "The results of transmission reconstruction and attenuation coefficient determination has proven effective." |
Consistency with Predicate Devices | Performance should be consistent with predicate devices already in commercial distribution. | "Clinical tests have documented effective application and expected results consistent with predicate devices currently in commercial distribution." |
Safety and Controls | Compliance with NUREG-1556 for emitter source devices regarding emissions, leakage, patient dose, and safe controls. | "In accordance with NUREG-1556...the devices emissions, leakage, patient dose and safe controls are consistent with requirement and those of commercially approved devices." |
Imaging Capabilities | Ability to acquire 511 keV coincidence events and form images in 1D, 2D, and 3D modes, perform SPECT procedures, and use FDA-approved radiopharmaceuticals. | Extensive description of technical capabilities, including acquisition of 511 keV events, 1D/2D/3D imaging, FORE rebinning, OSEM/FBP reconstruction, transmission acquisition, attenuation mapping, use with 511 keV emitting radiopharmaceuticals, and various SPECT procedures. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of patient cases for clinical testing. For phantom testing, it states the device was tested with the Data Spectrum Delum 5000 Phantom, Data Spectrum PET Phantom, and NEMA Scatter Phantom.
- Data Provenance: The document mentions "Clinical tests have documented effective application," but provides no details on the origin, retrospective/prospective nature, or location of these clinical tests. The phantom studies are likely internal testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
- This information is not provided in the document. The "clinical tests" are mentioned vaguely, but no details on expert involvement or ground truth establishment are given. The phantom studies use physical phantoms as their "ground truth".
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- This information is not provided. Given the nature of a 510(k) supporting substantial equivalence, a formal adjudication process with multiple experts for a clinical dataset is typically not the primary method of evaluation described in these types of submissions, unless it's a more complex diagnostic algorithm.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned. The document states that "Clinical tests have documented effective application and expected results consistent with predicate devices," but this does not describe an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance. The focus is on the device's inherent functionality and equivalence, not reader performance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
- Yes, a form of standalone testing was done. The phantom studies ("code implementation, simulation and phantom processed studies") assess the algorithm's performance in generating images and performing corrections without direct human interpretation in a comparative effectiveness setting. The device itself (the hardware and software) is the "standalone" entity here, performing image acquisition, processing, and reconstruction.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- For the phantom studies, the ground truth is the known physical properties and characteristics of the phantoms (e.g., known activity distributions, anatomical structures, scatter properties).
- For the "clinical tests," the type of ground truth and how it was established is not specified.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- This document describes a device (hardware and software) for image acquisition and reconstruction, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the modern sense of supervised learning. Thus, the concept of a training set sample size is not applicable here. The software components like OSEM and FBP are well-established reconstruction algorithms, not models trained on large datasets.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- As the concept of a training set is not applicable (see point 8), this information is not provided and not relevant to this specific device submission.

This device is an optional Attenuation Correction Device (ACD). The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria.
Therefore, much of the requested information regarding detailed acceptance criteria, specific study results, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth establishment is not explicitly present in the provided text. The document refers to "clinical tests" and "phantom processed studies" but does not provide the details requested.
However, based on the available information, here's what can be inferred and what is explicitly stated:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
No explicit quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance metrics are provided in the document. The evaluation relies on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (ADAC Vantage ExSpect 2.1 system cleared under K971878) and verifying proper operation through specific tests.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Effective application of attenuation correction | "Clinical tests have documented effective application and expected results consistent with predicate devices currently in commercial distribution." |
Accurate determination of attenuation coefficients | "The results of transmission reconstruction and attenuation coefficient determination has proven effective." |
Proper operation of acquisition, analysis, and correction | "In the code implementation, simulation and phantom processed studies, acquisition, analysis and correction results have been thoroughly tested and verified to operate properly and as intended." |
Consistency with predicate device's system function and software | The intended uses are "identical to the ADAC Vantage ExSpect 2.1 cleared under K971878 in system function and operational software." |
Emission, leakage, patient dose, and safe controls compliance | "In accordance with NUREG-1556 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for emitter source devices, the devices emissions, leakage, patient dose and safe controls are consistent with requirement and those of commercially approved devices." This refers to regulatory compliance rather than specific performance metrics of the attenuation correction itself. |
2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "phantom processed studies" (using Data Spectrum Anthromophic Phantom, Data Spectrum Delux 5000 SPECT Phantom, Data Spectrum Cardiac Phantom, and NEMA Scatter Phantom) and "clinical tests," but does not provide the number of cases or subjects for these tests.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. Clinical data is implied to be from patient studies, but the country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective is not mentioned. Phantom studies are laboratory-based.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Number of Experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of Experts: Not specified. The document states that when resulting images are interpreted by a "trained physician," the information can be useful in diagnosis. However, it does not detail the use of experts to establish ground truth for the device validation itself.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not specified.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- MRMC Study: Not explicitly mentioned or detailed. The document states the device provides an "enhancement" to emission images and that the information can be useful in diagnosis when interpreted by a trained physician. However, it does not provide an effect size comparing human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance (as this is an attenuation correction device, not an AI interpretation tool in the modern sense).
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
- Standalone Performance: Implied. The phantom studies and simulations ("code implementation, simulation and phantom processed studies") assess the device's ability to operate properly and as intended in determining attenuation coefficients and correcting images. While human interpretation is mentioned for diagnosis, the core function of the Attenuation Correction Device itself (mapping anatomical information, analyzing densities, assigning attenuation coefficients, and correcting ECT slice data) is described as being tested and proven effective.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth:
- For phantom studies: The "ground truth" would be the known physical properties and activity distributions within the phantoms.
- For clinical tests: The document does not explicitly state how ground truth was established for clinical effectiveness. It refers to "effective application and expected results consistent with predicate devices." This implies a comparison to established clinical outcomes or expert judgment, but no specific method (e.g., pathology, outcomes data, expert consensus on uncorrected vs. corrected images) is outlined.
8. Sample Size for Training Set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable/Not mentioned. This device utilizes established scientific concepts and algorithms (OSEM iterative reconstruction, FBP, fan beam acquisition, scatter window sampling) for attenuation correction rather than a machine learning model that would typically require a distinct training set. The "code implementation, simulation" refers to verification of the implemented algorithms, not training a model from data.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no mention of a distinct training set in the context of machine learning. The algorithms are based on scientific principles of physics and image reconstruction.

The SPECTRADigital™ Series V250DSP system with 5/8" crystal option are identical to the intended uses of the SPECTRADigital™Series V250DSP camera cleared under K954129 including acquisition of SPECT, planar, and wholebody imaging of all organ systems utilizing FDA approved radiopharmaceuticals in the energy range from 50 to 511 keV. When resulting images are interpreted by a trained physician, the information provided can be useful in the diagnosis determination.
Imaging capabilities with the Thick Crystal (5/8") Nal(TI) option include:
- All SPECT and Planar procedures in common practice including matrix based spatial framed, temporal/spatial list mode and angular projection mode static, gated and multi-orbit sampling
- High and normal count-rate dynamic planar and SPECT
- In conjunction with additional options for Coincidence and transmission based imaging, the detector performance and characteristics are available for non-uniform attenuation SPECT, attenuation correction in CID and CID based ECT imaging (these options are covered under separate and exclusive PMAs)
- Multiple window sampled imaging, including scatter correction via single, dual or plural window processing.
The SPECTRADigital™ series gamma camera systems are area detectors designed to detect gamma rays emitted from the decay of radioisotopes injected into a patient. The position of the decay is calculated (a ray from the event to the detector) by the system, and stored. The positions of a large number of decay events forms an electronic image of the location of the radioactive material. This image can be displayed on a CRT or transferred to photographic film for review. The collection of data at multiple detector positions allows three dimensional information to be obtained by tomographic means. The addition of thicker Nal(TI) crystals enhance efficiency of detection at higher energies with minimal loss of imaging performance over energy ranges used routinely.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Hitachi SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP Gamma Camera System with a thick NaI(Tl) crystal. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a traditional clinical study with defined acceptance criteria and human reader performance.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, highlighting why some requested sections cannot be fully addressed:
Device: Hitachi SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP Gamma Camera System with thick NaI(Tl) crystal
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in the form of thresholds for clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing technical performance characteristics under NEMA NU1-1994 standards.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Thick Crystal Option) |
---|---|
Technological Characteristics Identical to Predicate Device (SPECTRADigital™ Series V250DSP cleared under K954129) | "Identical to the predicate device" |
Imaging Performance using NEMA NU1-1994 standards comparable to predicate device (SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP with 3/8" crystal) | Compared to the standard SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP system with 3/8" crystal system cleared under K954129 utilizing NEMA NU1-1994 standards. |
Ability to acquire SPECT, planar, and wholebody imaging of all organ systems utilizing FDA approved radiopharmaceuticals in the energy range from 50 to 511 keV. | Confirmed for the thick crystal option, identical to the predicate device. Enhanced efficiency for higher energy applications due to thicker crystal. |
Imaging capabilities (e.g., matrix-based spatial framed, temporal/spatial list mode, angular projection mode, dynamic planar and SPECT) | Confirmed, identical to predicate, with specific mention of performance for Coincidence and transmission-based imaging options (though these are separate). |
Multiple window sampled imaging, including scatter correction via single, dual or plural window processing. | Confirmed for the thick crystal option. |
Summary of the study that "proves" the device meets acceptance criteria:
The study conducted was a technical comparison against a predicate device using the NEMA NU1-1994 standards. This is a non-clinical, bench-top type of evaluation, rather than a clinical trial assessing patient outcomes or diagnostic accuracy with human readers. The core of the argument for acceptance is that the new device (with the thicker crystal) maintains the same fundamental technology and offers comparable, or improved (for higher energies), performance characteristics as the already cleared predicate device.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set Description: The "test set" in this context refers to the measurements and characterizations performed on the gamma camera system according to NEMA NU1-1994 standards, rather than a set of patient cases.
- Sample Size: Not applicable in the sense of patient cases. The evaluation involved testing the physical and performance characteristics of the device itself.
- Data Provenance: The NEMA NU1-1994 standards are general industry standards for performance measurements of gamma cameras. The tests were likely performed in a laboratory setting by Hitachi Medical Corporation. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data beyond "Hitachi Medical believes..." implying internal testing. It is a prospective technical evaluation of the device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. This was a technical comparison of device performance against a predicate and industry standards, not a clinical study requiring expert interpretation of medical images to establish ground truth about patient conditions.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There was no clinical ground truth requiring adjudication by experts.
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
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed.
- Effect Size: Not applicable. This device is a gamma camera system, a hardware device for acquiring images, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable. The device itself (gamma camera) has standalone performance in terms of image acquisition, but this is characterized by technical specifications using NEMA standards, not an "algorithm only" performance. There is no AI algorithm being evaluated here.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for this submission is the NEMA NU1-1994 standards for gamma camera performance and the established performance of the predicate device (SPECTRADigital™ V250DSP with 3/8" crystal). The thick crystal option aims to achieve comparable performance, or improved detection efficiency for higher energies, while maintaining the predicate's overall characteristics.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a hardware device submission, not a machine learning model. There is no training set in the AI/ML sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Cannot be provided: No ground truth for diagnostic performance is discussed as there's no diagnostic performance study reported.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Cannot be provided: The concept of a "training set" for an algorithm is not applicable or discussed in this 1998 regulatory submission for an ultrasound probe.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Cannot be provided: As with point 8, the concept of a training set and its ground truth is not relevant to this document.
Summary of what the document does provide regarding "acceptance criteria" in a general sense:
The "acceptance criteria" presented in this document are primarily regulatory compliance criteria for a Class II medical device, focusing on:
- Acoustic Output Limits: The Hitachi EUP-OL334 Laparoscopic Probe "complies with the 'Standard for Real-time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Instruments (1992)', published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association as UD-3" and "complies with the guideline limits set in the April 14, 1994, Revision of 510(k) Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance."
- General Safety Standards: The device is "designed to comply with IEC 601-1 (1988) Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1, General Requirements for Safety."
- Intended Use Compatibility: The device is tested for its intended use in "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis…for laparoscopic clinical applications with the EUB-525, EUB-555, and EUB-8000 Hitachi Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems." The "Indications for Use" forms confirm the new "N= new indication" for laparoscopic use in B, M, and PWD modes, and Color Doppler.
The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context is the submission of documentation to the FDA demonstrating adherence to these standards and the substantial equivalence to predicate devices (EUB-555, EUB-525, EUB-8000 systems with previously cleared probes). The FDA's issuance of the 510(k) clearance letter (K981434) on July 27, 1998, indicates that the agency found the device to be substantially equivalent based on the provided information, which included compliance with these safety and performance standards for ultrasound devices of its type. The specific studies proving this are implicit in the manufacturer's internal testing and compliance documentation submitted to the FDA, but are not detailed within this public summary.
