This response is based on the provided text, which details an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the "Macropore Puricel Lipoplasty System." This type of document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a detailed study with specific performance metrics and acceptance criteria for the new device as would be found in a clinical trial report or a performance study.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets these criteria cannot be fully extracted in the manner typically associated with an AI/device performance study. The document primarily describes the device and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared lipoplasty systems.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Based on the provided text, specific numerical acceptance criteria and precise performance metrics are not explicitly stated. The FDA 510(k) clearance process, as reflected here, primarily assesses "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device rather than setting new, quantitative performance benchmarks for the new device in terms of clinical outcomes or specific efficacy and safety percentages.
However, the document implies that the device "meets" its intended purpose by demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices already on the market. The "performance" described is in terms of design characteristics and intended use being similar to existing cleared devices.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (as described in the document) |
---|---|
Safety: Device components are safe for patient contact. | Components with patient contact are fabricated from surgical stainless steel – a material commonly recognized as safe for medical devices. |
Efficacy/Intended Use Equivalence: Device performs fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft tissue as intended for lipoplasty. | "The MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when the fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft tissue is desired" and "shares indications and design principles with the following predicate devices..." It is indicated for "fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of subcutaneous fatty tissues for aesthetic body contouring." |
Design Equivalence: Device design is comparable to predicate devices. | "The design and materials of MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System and the predicate devices... are substantially equivalent as they are all hollow tubular cannulas attached to a handle." "The MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System and the Sound Surgical predicate device are substantially equivalent in design as they both consists of a cannula, connection tubing, and a waste collection container." |
Material Equivalence: Materials are comparable to predicate devices. | "The design and materials of MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System and the predicate devices... are substantially equivalent." (Specific materials of predicate are not detailed, but the new device uses surgical stainless steel for patient contact). |
Mechanical Performance: Device functions mechanically as expected. | "Mechanical testing of the MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate." (Specific mechanical parameters or thresholds are not provided). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided document describes in vitro testing ("Mechanical testing of the MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System") rather than a clinical study involving a "test set" of patient data. Therefore, information regarding sample size for a test set and data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. The testing appears to be primarily laboratory-based mechanical testing to demonstrate functional equivalence.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
As there is no mention of a "test set" of patient data or a clinical study with human interpretation, this information is not applicable. The "ground truth" for this regulatory submission is established by demonstrating equivalence to existing, legally marketed devices.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Again, this information is not applicable as the document does not describe a clinical study requiring adjudication of a test set.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This information is not applicable. The device described is a physical medical device (lipoplasty system) and not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology for human readers.
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 surgical tool, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For this 510(k) submission, the "ground truth" for demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the MacroPore Puricel Lipoplasty System is its substantial equivalence to predicate devices that have already been cleared by the FDA and are legally marketed. The predicate devices identified are:
- Byron Medical Lipoplasty / Liposuction and Tumescent Infusion Cannulae and Needles (cleared under K981172)
- Sound Surgical Soundvaser System (cleared under K022051)
The grounds for equivalence are based on shared indications for use, similar design principles (hollow tubular cannulas, connection tubing, waste collection container), and comparable materials.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The document describes a physical medical device, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable as the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm is not relevant to this device's submission.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. This submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, supported by in vitro bench testing, rather than a clinical human test set. The "test set" here refers to the samples of the device itself (MacroPore OS Reconstruction System components) used for mechanical and material characterization.
- Data Provenance: The testing was in vitro (bench testing) performed on the device components. There is no mention of country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as it's not clinical data.
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)
Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of expert consensus, is relevant for diagnostic or image-based devices being evaluated by human interpretation. This document describes a surgical implantable device, and its equivalency is based on material properties, design, and mechanical performance demonstrated through objective laboratory tests.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for clinical trials or studies involving human judgment (e.g., image interpretation). The "test set" here refers to physical device samples undergoing laboratory evaluation.
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/diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/diagnostic device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for demonstrating equivalence was established by:
- Predicate Device Specifications: The material composition, design principles, indications for use, and mechanical properties of the legally marketed predicate devices (MacroPore OS Protective Sheet and Synthes Resorbable Meshes and Sheets) served as the reference or "ground truth" for comparison.
- Standardized Material and Mechanical Testing: In vitro tests (e.g., viscosity, aging studies, tensile strength, rigidity, DSC) were performed on the MacroPore OS Reconstruction System components, and the results were compared to the known or expected performance characteristics of the predicate devices.

MACROPORE BIOSURGERY, INC.
The MacroPore Barrier Film is indicated for use as an orbital implant wrap to cover orbital implants used in enucleation surgery and to protect the surrounding orbital tissue from the surface of the implant.
MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film is a resorbable implant in sheet form manufactured from polylactides (PLA). MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film can be cut with scissors to the desired shape and size. MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film is fully malleable when heated to approximately 55°C (for example, by the use of sterile hot water), and thus can be conformed three dimensionally to most any anatomical orientation. The MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film is provided in various shapes such as squares, rectangles, ovals, and circles. The MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film will be provided in sheets of 30mm x 30mm to 200mm x 200mm so that the surgeon may cut specific shapes and sizes. The thickness of the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film will range from 0.05 mm to 1.0 mm. The MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film will be provided in solid sheets and in porous sheets that have pores that range in pore size from 0.5mm to 3.0mm with pores distributed randomly or uniformly throughout the film in an offset or aligned pattern. The pores are spaced at a distance of 1.5mm or greater. The MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film is fabricated from polylactide (PLA).
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film. It's a regulatory submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than a study designed to prove acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical trial. Therefore, many of the requested categories (like MRMC study, sample size for training set, number of experts for ground truth) are not applicable or directly derivable from this type of document.
However, I can extract the "acceptance criteria" through the lens of proving substantial equivalence, which revolves around demonstrating similar performance to predicate devices, and the "study" is the in vitro testing and comparison described.
Here's the information formatted to the best extent possible given the document type:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film
Note: This document is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, not a clinical trial report. "Acceptance criteria" are inferred from the requirements for substantial equivalence, and "reported device performance" refers to the results of the described in vitro tests and comparisons to predicate devices. A "study" in this context refers to the non-clinical testing performed to support the 510(k) submission.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria Category (Inferred from 510(k) Requirements) | Specific Criterion (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance/Findings |
---|---|---|
Material Stability | Maintain appropriate viscosity after heating at 60°C for ~120 minutes (to simulate surgical preparation). | Viscosity stayed within an appropriate range over 120 minutes of heating in saline at 60°C. Brief exposure during surgical preparation is not expected to significantly affect mechanical properties. |
Mechanical Strength (Aging) | Retain sufficient strength for the indicated use after aging. | Testing demonstrated that the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film is strong enough for the indications for use. |
Mechanical Strength (Comparison to Predicate) | Be substantially equivalent in mechanical strengths (e.g., tensile, suture pull-out) to predicate devices under indication for use conditions. | Mechanical testing determined the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film to be substantially equivalent to the mechanical strengths of the predicate devices (Bio-Vascular Ocu-Guard and Bio-Eye II Orbital Implant) under indication for use conditions (as measured by tensile and suture pull-out testing). |
Indications for Use (Comparison) | Share identical indications for use principles with predicate devices. | MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film shares identical indications for use principles with the predicate devices; both are indicated for the same surgical procedures (orbital implant wrap for enucleation surgery and protecting surrounding orbital tissue). |
Design and Materials (Comparison) | Be substantially equivalent in physical design (thin semirigid sheets, contourability, dimensions, malleability) and material (PLA vs. bovine pericardium). | Physical designs are substantially equivalent (thin semirigid sheets). Both allow for contouring (MacroPore when heated to 55°C). Dimensions (rectangular sheets, several cm) are comparable. Material is PLA, which is different from predicate bovine pericardium, but the overall design and function are deemed equivalent. |
User Adaptability (Comparison) | Allow end-user cutting to specific shapes and sizes. | Both the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film and the predicate devices can be cut to specific shapes and sizes by the end user. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as this is non-clinical testing. The "test set" would refer to the samples of the MacroPore Surgical Barrier Film subjected to in vitro heating, aging, and mechanical tests. The number of samples tested for each specific test (e.g., viscosity, tensile strength) is not quantified in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The data is from in vitro laboratory testing performed by MacroPore Biosurgery, Inc. It is considered prospective in the sense that the tests were specifically conducted for this 510(k) submission. Country of origin for data generation is likely the USA, implicitly where the manufacturer is located (San Diego, CA).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Not applicable / not provided. This is an in vitro device and a 510(k) submission. It does not involve human subjects or expert assessment for establishing "ground truth" in a clinical sense. The "ground truth" for the material properties would be established by standard engineering and materials science principles and testing protocols.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable / none. Since the "test set" refers to in vitro measurements against established material science parameters and comparisons to predicate device specifications, there is no need for expert adjudication.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
- No. An MRMC study is a type of clinical comparative effectiveness study involving multiple human readers evaluating diagnostic cases. This document describes an in vitro device and a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence based on material properties and design, not diagnostic accuracy requiring human reader performance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Partially applicable, but in a non-AI context. The "standalone" performance here refers to the intrinsic material and mechanical properties of the device itself (e.g., its viscosity retention, strength, malleability, dimensions) as measured in laboratory tests, without human interaction beyond the initial setup and measurement. There is no AI algorithm involved in this device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Engineering and Material Science Standards / Predicate Device Specifications. The "ground truth" for the in vitro tests is derived from:
- Established scientific principles for material behavior (e.g., viscosity, mechanical strength).
- Comparison to the known performance and specifications of legally marketed predicate devices (Bio-Vascular Ocu-Guard and Bio-Eye II Orbital Implant).
- The assumption that the predicate devices are safe and effective for their intended use.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable / No training set in the AI sense. This is not an AI/machine learning device. The "training" for the device itself would refer to its manufacturing and design process, informed by polymer science and surgical needs, not a data-driven training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. As there is no AI training set, this question is not relevant. The device's design and material selection are based on established engineering principles, material properties of polylactides, and the functional requirements for an orbital implant wrap, with reference to predicate devices.

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the MacroPore OS Trauma System, focusing on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than adherence to a specific set of acceptance criteria with quantified performance metrics. Therefore, many of the requested categories for a study proving adherence to acceptance criteria cannot be extracted directly from this document.
Here's an attempt to populate the table and answer the questions based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria Category | Acceptance Criteria (from document) | Reported Device Performance (from document) |
---|---|---|
Material Compatibility (Heating) | Viscosity should stay within an "appropriate range" after prolonged heating at 60°C for 120 minutes. | "The testing demonstrates that viscosity stayed within an appropriate range over 120 minutes." |
Mechanical Properties (Aging) | Device should be "as rigid and as strong as the predicate" after 6 months of exposure. | "Testing demonstrated that the MacroPore OS Trauma Protective Sheet is as rigid and as strong as the predicate after 6 month of exposure." |
Mechanical Properties (General) | To be "substantially equivalent to the mechanical strengths of the predicate devices under indication for use conditions." | "Testing determined the MacroPore OS Trauma System to be substantially equivalent to the mechanical strengths of the predicate devices under indication for use conditions." |
Crystallinity | Material should be "amorphous and non-crystalline" (i.e., no endothermic spikes on DSC). | "The tests ran on the sterile and nonsterile samples revealed no endothermic spikes, indicating that the implants are amorphous and non-crystalline." |
Indications for Use | Must share "substantially equivalent indications for use" with predicate devices. | "The MacroPore OS Trauma System shares substantially equivalent indications for use with the predicate devices." (and "shares identical indications for use wording with the predicate device, MacroPore OS, with the exception of indications for rib bones.") |
Design and Materials | "Nearly identical" to predicate devices, with similar shapes, sizes, pore diameter/spacing, and dimensions. Mechanical characteristics (tensile strength, rigidity/spring constant) must be "substantially equivalent." | "The design and materials... are nearly identical... pore size and spacing... within the pore size and spacing specifications... dimensions... comparable... mechanical characteristics... substantially equivalent." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document describes in vitro testing but does not specify sample sizes for mechanical or material tests. It also does not mention any clinical test sets or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The study is entirely focused on in vitro engineering and material characterization.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. The ground truth for in vitro mechanical and material properties is established through standardized engineering and material science testing methods (e.g., viscosity measurements, mechanical testing, DSC), not through expert consensus on qualitative observations.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. This was in vitro testing, not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.
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 device for bone fixation, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device does not involve algorithms or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is to be used wherever temporary wound support is required, to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists, or for the repair of hernia or other fascial defects that require the addition of a reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical result. This includes, but is not limited to the following procedures: vaginal prolapse repair, colon and rectal prolapse repair, reconstruction of the pelvic floor and sacral colposuspension.
MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is a resorbable implant in sheet form manufactured from polylactic acid (PLA). MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) can be cut with scissors to the desired shape and size. The MacroPore Power Pen can also be used to cut or weld the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) to the desired shape or size. MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is fully malleable when heated to approximately 55°C (for example, by the use of warm water), and thus can be conformed to anatomic structures. MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) can be rolled into a tube or used as a flat sheet. It can be fixated with tissue fixation devices such as resorbable sutures, which also can serve to fixate the MacroPore tissue fixation devices such as resorbable sutures. MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) may be used in conjunction with various MacroPore manual instruments.
MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is provided in sheets of 10mm to 120mm x 120mm and will be provided in other shapes and sizes in accordance to the region to be treated. The thickness of the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is provided with and without macroporous holes from 0.02 mm to 2.0 mm according to the region to be treated. The macroporous holes range in size from 50 microns to 3,000 microns in diameter and the sheets may be aligned with holes to attach suture material.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS), seeking substantial equivalence to existing surgical meshes. This type of regulatory submission (from 2001) primarily focuses on demonstrating that a new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and standalone clinical study results for novel device performance.
Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study designs (like MRMC), expert consensus, and ground truth establishment, which are common in de novo or PMA submissions for novel or high-risk devices, is not present in this 510(k) summary.
The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence based on:
- Indications for Use: Demonstrating the same intended use as predicate devices.
- Design and Materials: Showing comparable physical characteristics and material composition.
- Performance Data: Presenting in-vitro and in-vivo non-clinical testing to support the functional equivalence and safety.
Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the provided text, explicitly stating when information is not available:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As this is a 510(k) submission focused on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, explicit quantitative acceptance criteria with specific thresholds for device performance are not detailed in the provided summary in the manner usually seen for new device or algorithm performance evaluations. Instead, the document reports that the device "meets" or is "substantially equivalent" to the predicate devices based on various tests.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Materials are appropriate for implantation. | Animal studies demonstrated that the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) materials are biocompatible and appropriate for the indications for use. |
Mechanical Strength: Strong enough for indications for use. | Aging testing demonstrated the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) is strong enough for the indications for use. Mechanical testing performed determined the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) to be substantially equivalent to the mechanical strengths of the predicate devices under indication for use conditions. |
Material Stability (Heating): Viscosity remains appropriate. | Testing determined the effect of prolonged heating in saline at 60°C. Data demonstrated that viscosity stayed within an appropriate range over 120 minutes, indicating brief surgical exposure will not significantly affect mechanical properties. |
Design Characteristics: Comparable to predicate devices. | "Shares indications and design principles with the following predicate devices... Designs... are substantially equivalent, consisting of a thin semi-rigid sheet that allows for contouring." "Thickness ranges are essentially a subset of the predicate device." "Mechanical characteristics are also substantially equivalent." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- In Vitro Testing: Not explicitly stated (e.g., number of samples for viscosity, aging, or mechanical strength tests).
- In Vivo (Animal) Testing: Not explicitly stated (e.g., number of animals, number of implants).
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The studies appear to be non-clinical (in vitro and animal), not human clinical data, and there's no indication of the studies being retrospective or prospective in the human clinical sense.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. Given the non-clinical nature of the studies discussed (in vitro and animal), expert consensus in the form of radiologists or other clinicians establishing ground truth for a test set (as would be relevant for an AI/CAD device) is not applicable here. Ground truth for the animal studies would likely come from histopathological analysis and macroscopic observation by veterinarians or pathologists, but specifics are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not available and not applicable to the non-clinical studies described. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies involving human readers or assessments to resolve discrepancies, which are not detailed here.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study assesses how human readers perform with and without AI assistance and is irrelevant for this device (surgical mesh), which is not an AI/CAD system.
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 device is a physical surgical mesh, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For In Vitro Testing: The "ground truth" implicitly refers to the quantifiable physical and chemical properties of the material (e.g., viscosity, mechanical strength, material composition) measured against established scientific standards or the performance of predicate devices.
- For In Vivo (Animal) Testing: The "ground truth" for biocompatibility and appropriateness for use would typically be established through histological analysis, gross pathological examination, and possibly functional observation by trained veterinarians and pathologists. The summary only states that studies "demonstrated that the MacroPore Surgi-Wrap (TS) materials are biocompatible and appropriate for the indications for use."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable and not available. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The data described comes from laboratory and animal testing.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable and not available as the device is not an AI/ML algorithm.

The provided 510(k) summary for the MacroPore ENT Reconstruction Film outlines the device's characteristics and its equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain details about specific acceptance criteria, a study proving those criteria were met, or the metrics involved in such a study.
Instead, the document details physical and material properties, in vitro and in vivo testing for safety and efficacy, and a comparison with existing devices to establish "substantial equivalence." The "acceptance criteria" presented below are inferred from the types of tests and comparisons mentioned in the document, as the 510(k) process focuses on demonstrating equivalence rather than meeting pre-defined performance criteria like those found in a clinical trial for a novel device.
Here's an attempt to structure the information based on your request, highlighting the limitations due to the nature of the provided document:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Inferred from 510(k) Submission)

Safety and Efficacy (In Vivo) Must demonstrate safety and efficacy suitable for the indications for use in an animal study. | "An animal study was conducted to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the MacroPore ENT Reconstruction Film materials are appropriate for the indications for use." |
Study Details:
The provided document describes neither a specific "test set" nor "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI model, nor does it detail a study proving specific acceptance criteria in the way a clinical trial would. Instead, it refers to pre-clinical (in vitro and in vivo animal) testing and a substantial equivalence comparison to predicate devices.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable for "Test Set" as defined for AI/Algorithm performance. The document refers to "in vitro testing" and an "animal study."

-
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)
- Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context would implicitly be established through standard scientific and pre-clinical methodologies for evaluating material properties and biological response in animal models. No expert panel for "ground truth" adjudication in the context of a dataset evaluation is mentioned.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No, this is not an algorithm, so standalone performance is not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For the in vitro testing: The "ground truth" would be the objective measurements obtained from the laboratory tests (e.g., viscosity readings, tensile strength, elongation).
- For the animal study: The "ground truth" for safety and efficacy would be based on histological analysis, clinical observations, potential pathology, and biocompatibility assessments in the animal model.

Summary of the Study that "Proves" Equivalence:
The "study" or rather the evidence provided to the FDA for 510(k) clearance consists of:
- In vitro testing: This included viscosity testing (after heating at 60°C for 120 minutes, showing it stayed in an "appropriate range"), aging testing (demonstrating sufficient strength), and mechanical testing (demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices). The details of these tests (e.g., number of samples tested, specific methods, raw data) are not provided in this summary.
- In vivo animal study: Conducted to demonstrate "safety and efficacy" and that the materials are "appropriate for the indications for use." No details on the study design, species, number of animals, or specific outcomes are included in this summary.
- Substantial Equivalence Comparison: A detailed comparison of the MacroPore ENT Reconstruction Film's indications for use, design characteristics (material composition, malleability, thickness range, dimensions, mechanical characteristics, ability to be cut), and general performance with a list of predicate devices (Pillar Prolastic Sheeting, SupraFOIL, Seare Silicone Sheeting, Durasil I and Durasil II, Specialty Surgery Silicone Elastomer, Lactosorb Ethmoid Stent, and MacroPore Protego System). The core argument for clearance is that the MacroPore device is sufficiently similar to these legally marketed devices that it can be considered safe and effective.

MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP is a resorbable bone fixation system composed of various sized porous sheets, non-porous sheets, and associated fixation tacks and screws manufactured from poly lactic acid. The MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP are composed of MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP Protective Sheets and MacroPore FX and LP Screws and Tacks. MacroPore Protective Sheets can be cut with scissors to the desired shape and size. The MacroPore Power Pen can also be used to cut or shape the MacroPore Plates and Protective Sheets to the desired shape or size. The MacroPore Plate and Protective Sheets are fully malleable when heated to approximately 55°C (for example, by the use of sterile hot water), and thus can be conformed three dimensionally to most any anatomical orientation. The MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP bone fixation system includes a selection of resorbable screws, tacks, and associated manual instruments. Tacks range in size from 1.5mm to 2.0mm in outer diameter. Screws range in size from 2.0mm in outer diameter. The MacroPore Plates and Protective Sheets come in various sizes ranging from 0.5mm in thickness according to the region to be treated. The MacroPore Protective Sheets range in size from as small as 20mm x 20mm to as large as 120mm x 120mm. The MacroPore Protective Sheet is provided with and without macroporous holes. The macroporous holes range in size from 500 microns to 3,000 microns in diameter. All configurations are to be within a mass of 18 grams of polymer. Various manual instruments (PowerTack Driver, StarBurst Screw drivers, Tack Pusher, taps, drill bit, etc.) are used in conjunction with the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP bone fixation system to assist in the installation process.
This document describes the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP bone fixation system, which is a medical device. The information provided is for regulatory clearance (510(k)) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study establishing acceptance criteria and device performance in the way typically seen for a new AI/software-based medical device.
Therefore, many of the requested categories related to clinical study design and results for acceptance criteria cannot be directly answered from this document. This document details in vitro testing for mechanical properties and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of performance metrics for a clinical study. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices in terms of:
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Mechanical Properties (Substantially equivalent to predicate) | "Mechanical testing of the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP System demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate. Test results indicate that the mechanical properties of the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP are substantially equivalent to the mechanical properties of the predicate devices: MacroPore PX Pediatric System and MacroPore Protego System (plates, and screws) under indication for use conditions." No specific quantitative thresholds or numerical results are provided, only the qualitative statement of "substantially equivalent." |
Indications for Use (Identical/Substantially equivalent to predicate) | The MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP and the MacroPore PX Pediatric System predicate share "identical indications for use." The MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP and the MacroPore Protego System have "substantially equivalent indications for use as they are both indicated for the trauma and reconstructive procedures in the midface and craniofacial skeleton." The specific indications are listed in the "Intended Use" and "Indications for Use" sections, covering various fractures, osteotomies, and reconstructive procedures. |
Design and Materials (Substantially equivalent to predicate) | Design: "The physical designs of MacroPore FX, PS, LP and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent, consisting of a plates, screws, tacks, and protective sheets." Also, "both the predicate device and the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP can be cut and molded to specific shapes and sizes by the end user." |
Materials: "Both the MacroPore FX. PS. NS. LP and the predicate devices are manufactured from bioabsorbable materials under substantially equivalent conditions." Specifically, "The material used in the MacroPore FX, PS, NS, LP is also substantially equivalent to the predicate devices as they are resorbable polylactide and polyglycolide polymers." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document describes in vitro mechanical testing but does not specify the sample size (number of devices or tests performed) for this testing.
- Data Provenance: The testing appears to be conducted by the manufacturer ("MacroPore, Inc."). The document does not specify the country of origin of the data beyond implying it's part of the manufacturer's submission for FDA clearance in the USA. It is in vitro data, not human patient data (retrospective or prospective).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This is not applicable as the study involved in vitro mechanical testing comparing device properties, not a clinical assessment requiring expert interpretation of patient data or establishment of a clinical ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as it involved in vitro mechanical testing, not a clinical assessment requiring adjudication of expert opinions.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size of Human Improvement with vs. without AI
Not applicable. This is not an AI/software-based device, and no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" in this context refers to the established mechanical properties and design characteristics of the predicate devices. The new device's performance was measured in vitro and compared against these established characteristics to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.
