    AI/ML Overview

    This is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (nasal cannula), not an AI/ML-driven device. Therefore, the information typically requested for AI/ML device validation (such as expert consensus, MRMC studies, or training/test set details) is not applicable.

    The document describes the device, its intended use, and a summary of non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It clearly states that no clinical testing was performed.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document, highlighting why many points are not applicable for this type of device clearance:

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

      • The document lists various non-clinical performance tests but does not provide a table of specific acceptance criteria with corresponding reported device performance values. Instead, it generally states that testing was conducted "to demonstrate substantial equivalence." For example, it lists "Relevant Humidity Output testing" but doesn't state the specific humidity output range considered acceptable or the measured output. This is typical for a 510(k) submission where broad equivalence is the goal rather than meeting precise performance thresholds for novel functionality.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

      • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device. Testing involved bench tests on manufactured units, not data sets in the AI/ML sense. Data provenance, retrospective/prospective, and sample sizes for test sets (in the context of patient data) are not relevant as no human or clinical data was used for validation.
    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. No "ground truth" was established by experts in the context of diagnostic performance, image interpretation, or similar AI/ML applications, as this is a physical medical device.
    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

      • Not applicable. There was no test set requiring expert adjudication for performance 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-assisted device, and no MRMC study was conducted. The document explicitly states "No clinical testing was performed."
    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

      • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-based device.
    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

      • Not applicable. The concept of "ground truth" as it applies to AI/ML model validation is not relevant here. The device's performance was evaluated against engineering specifications and industry standards for physical device functionality (e.g., flow rates, material compatibility, strength).
    8. The sample size for the training set

      • Not applicable. There is no AI/ML model, and thus no training set.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

      • Not applicable. There is no AI/ML model, and thus no training set or ground truth establishment for it.

    In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance for a physical medical device, not an AI/ML-driven product. Therefore, most of the requested information related to AI/ML validation (ground truth, expert studies, training/test sets) is irrelevant to this submission.

    The acceptance criteria for this device focus on:

    • Biocompatibility: Meeting ISO standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series, ISO 18562 series) to ensure the materials are safe for patient contact and breathing gas pathways. The document lists the specific ISO standards used.
    • Performance Bench Testing: Covering aspects like visual inspection, humidity output, thermal overshoot, connection strength, leak testing, headgear testing, shelf life, and useful life. While the specific numerical acceptance criteria for each test (e.g., "humidity output must be within X amount") are not explicitly listed in this summary, the document indicates these tests were performed and implicitly met the company's internal acceptance criteria for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    • Substantial Equivalence: The overarching acceptance criterion for a 510(k) is demonstrating that the device is "as safe and as effective" as a legally marketed predicate device, based on the non-clinical testing performed.

    The "Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" for this product consists of the various Non-Clinical Testing described on pages 16-17, primarily Biocompatibility Testing and Performance Testing (Bench), which were conducted to support the claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

The implants can accommodate Ø2.7mm, Ø3.5mm, and Ø4.0mm locking and non-locking cortical screws to be used with the polyaxial locking holes and compression slots. The system also includes reusable and disposable instrumentation necessary for implantation of the REFLEX® Hybrid Nitinol Implant.

    AI/ML Overview

    This 510(k) clearance letter is for a medical implant system, not an AI/software device, so the typical AI-related acceptance criteria and study details (like sample size for test set, experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this document. The provided text describes the regulatory clearance process for a physical medical device.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, the Medline UNITE® REFLEX® Nitinol Staple System (K231885). This is achieved primarily through non-clinical (bench) testing and engineering analysis, not clinical trials or AI performance evaluations.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document, noting where specific AI-related questions are not applicable:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a physical medical implant)

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaDevice Performance (Medline UNITE® REFLEX® Hybrid Nitinol Implant System)
    Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device (K231885)Demonstrated through engineering analysis and performance testing. The subject device is concluded to be as safe and effective for its intended use as the predicate device.
    Primary Intended Use (Fixation for fractures, fusions, osteotomies of short and long bones of foot and ankle)Same as predicate.
    Indications for UseSimilar to predicate, with additional indications for locking and non-locking cortical screws (cleared under K234031) used with polyaxial locking holes and compression slots. Overall indications remain within the scope of the predicate.
    Material Composition (Nickel Titanium Alloy, Nitinol, ASTM F2063 compliance)Same as predicate.
    Sterility (Provided non-sterile, steam sterilized prior to use)Same as predicate.
    Elastic Static Bending StrengthEngineering analysis determined the subject device does not represent a new worst-case compared to the predicate, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    Axial Pullout StrengthEngineering analysis determined the subject device does not represent a new worst-case compared to the predicate, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    Corrosion Susceptibility (ASTM F2129)Testing was conducted to meet predefined acceptance criteria. Initial testing showed "not all samples met the minimum acceptance criteria for electrostatic breakdown potential," leading to additional nickel ion release testing.
    Nickel-ion Release (ASTM F3306)The total Ni-ion release and maximum daily Ni-ion release for any of the three (3) samples tested over 60 days was significantly lower than the FDA guidance for the Tolerable Intake (TI) value for parenteral exposure to nickel (0.5 μg/kg/day, or 35 μg/day for a 70 kg adult).
    Galvanic Corrosion (ASTM F3044)Microscopic examination of all three (3) test samples revealed no pitting or indications of corrosion. The average calculated material release from mass loss was significantly less than the FDA guidance for the Tolerable Intake (TI) value for parenteral exposure to nickel (0.5 μg/kg/day, or 35 μg/day for a 70 kg adult).

    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:
      • For Corrosion Susceptibility: Mentioned "not all samples," implying multiple samples were tested, but an exact number for the "test set" is not specified for the initial pass/fail.
      • For Nickel-ion Release: "three (3) samples tested over 60-days."
      • For Galvanic Corrosion: "all three (3) test samples."
    • Data Provenance: The testing was non-clinical (bench testing) and performed according to ASTM standards and FDA guidance documents. There is no mention of country of origin of data as it's not human or patient data. It is inherently "prospective" in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically for this submission.

    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. This is a physical medical device. Ground truth as typically defined in AI/software evaluations (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by standardized material and mechanical testing specifications (ASTM standards and FDA guidance).

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

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device. Adjudication methods are typically used for expert consensus on challenging cases in AI/software evaluations.

    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 physical medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was performed.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. 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 (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    • The "ground truth" for this physical device is defined by established engineering and material science standards (ASTM F2129, ASTM F3306, ASTM F3044) and FDA guidance on biocompatibility and material safety (specifically for Nitinol implants and nickel release). Device performance is measured against these quantitative and qualitative benchmarks.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device. There is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device. There is no "training set" or corresponding ground truth establishment process in the context of machine learning.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the performance testing for the Medline Level 4 Surgical Gown with Breathable Sleeves (K242844), a surgical apparel device. The information provided is based on non-clinical testing only, as no clinical testing was performed for this 510(k) submission.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

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

    The document describes non-clinical tests conducted to verify design specifications. For each test listed in the table, the "Results" column indicates a "Pass," meaning the acceptance criteria were met.

    • Sample Size: The specific sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of fabric specimens tested for ASTM F1671) are not detailed in this summary. The 510(k) summary typically provides a high-level overview, and the detailed test reports (which FDA reviews) would contain this information.
    • Data Provenance: The tests are generally performed by accredited testing laboratories or the manufacturer's own qualified labs. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. Given it's an FDA submission, the tests would typically adhere to recognized international standards like ISO and ASTM. These are prospective tests performed specifically to support the regulatory submission of this new device.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

    • Not Applicable. For this type of medical device (surgical gowns), "ground truth" is established through adherence to standardized, objective performance tests (e.g., measuring water resistance, breaking strength, biocompatibility). These are not studies that rely on expert interpretation of images or clinical outcomes to establish ground truth in the way an AI diagnostic device would.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • None. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are relevant for studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints, often in the context of diagnostic accuracy or clinical trials. As this is a non-clinical performance evaluation against objective standards, no adjudication method is used. The results are quantitative measurements interpreted against pre-defined thresholds.

    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 is typically performed for diagnostic devices (especially those involving image interpretation by human readers) to assess how an AI algorithm impacts reader performance. The Medline Level 4 Surgical Gown is a protective apparel, not a diagnostic device, and its performance is evaluated through physical and material property tests, not human reader studies.

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

    • Not Applicable. This question typically pertains to AI/ML software as a medical device (SaMD). The Medline Level 4 Surgical Gown is a physical medical device. Its performance is inherent in its material properties and manufacturing, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by objective, quantitative measurements against published national and international standards. This includes:

    • Biocompatibility Standards: ISO 10993 series (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization).
    • Barrier Performance Standards: ASTM F1671 (blood-borne pathogens), AATCC 42 (impact penetration), AATCC 127 (hydrostatic pressure), and ANSI/AAMI PB70:2022 (overall liquid barrier performance classification).
    • Material Strength Standards: ASTM D5034 (breaking strength), ASTM D5587 (tearing strength), ASTM D1683 (sewn seam failure).
    • Other Performance Standards: 16 CFR 1610 (flammability), ASTM E96 (water vapor transmission/breathability).

    The "ground truth" is therefore the measured physical and chemical properties of the gown, compared against the predefined acceptance criteria of these standard test methods.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not Applicable. The concept of a "training set" is relevant for machine learning algorithms. This device is a manufactured product, not an AI algorithm. Its design and manufacturing process would involve material selection and engineering, not machine learning training.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    • Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI algorithm, this question is not relevant.

    AI/ML Overview

    Based on the provided text, the device in question is the Hudson RCI Comfort Flo® CubCannula™, a nasal cannula. The document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification, which demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study as might be done for a novel device or pre-market approval (PMA) pathway.

    Therefore, the information regarding "acceptance criteria" and a "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a clinical trial with pre-defined primary and secondary endpoints is not explicitly present for this 510(k) submission. Instead, the focus is on demonstrating equivalence through non-clinical testing (biocompatibility and bench testing).

    Here's an analysis of the provided information relative to your questions, with specific callouts where information is not available due to the nature of a 510(k) substantial equivalence submission:


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

    The document does not present a formal table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance results in the way a clinical study report would. Instead, it lists the non-clinical tests performed and states that they revealed "passing results" or that "emissions are well below the health-based thresholds." The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the standards cited and the statement of compliance.

    Implied Acceptance (Compliance) and Reported Performance (Statement of Passing):

    Test CategoryImplied Acceptance (Standard/Requirement)Reported Device Performance
    BiocompatibilityISO 10993-1:2018 (General Evaluation), ISO 10993-5: 2009 (Cytotoxicity), ISO 10993:10: 2010 (Irritation & Sensitization), ISO 10993-11:2017 (Systemic Toxicity), ISO 10993-6:2016 (Local Effects after Implantation), ISO 10993-3:2014 (Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity, Reproductive Toxicity), ISO 10993-12:2012 (Sample Prep), ISO 10993-17:2002 (Allowable Limits for Leachables), ISO 10993-18:2005 (Chemical Char.); ISO 18562-1:2017 (Breathing Gas), ISO 18562-2:2017 (Particulate Matter), ISO 18562-3:2017 (VOCs)."All biological endpoint testing including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and genotoxicity revealed passing results."
    "The extractables/leachables testing on the humidified gas pathway components revealed MOS values greater than 1.0 after clinically relevant considerations and condensate attenuation."
    "VOC and Particulates that the CubCannula emissions are well below the health-based thresholds for both volatile organic compounds and particulates."
    "the CubCannula referenced in this document is biocompatible and does not present a foreseen biological and/or toxicological risk."
    Performance (Bench)ISO 5356-1:2015 (Conical connectors), ISO 80601-2-74:2017 (Respiratory devices), ASTM F1980-21 (Accelerated Aging), ASTM D4169-22 (Shipping Containers).Performed tests include: Post aging Visual Inspection, Relevant Humidity Output testing, Thermal Overshoot testing, Connection strength testing, Flow Leak Test/Gas path leak testing, Shelf Life Testing, Useful Life Testing, Peel Testing, Transportation simulation, ISO gauging. All are implicitly stated as having demonstrated substantial equivalence. Specific quantitative results are not provided in this summary. For "Useful Life," it states: "Testing has been performed to validate the 10-day useful life (safety factor included)."
    Product CharacteristicsMaintain functional equivalence (e.g., flow rates, patient population, counter-indications) to predicate device.Flow rates (1-25 LPM) are similar to the predicate (0.5-25 LPM, max 36LPM for XXL size not included). Useful life (10 days) has been validated vs predicate (7 days). Shelf life (2 years) vs predicate (3 years). These differences were assessed not to raise new safety/effectiveness concerns.

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

    This information is not provided in the document as it pertains to a 510(k) submission based on non-clinical (bench) testing, not a clinical study. The "test set" would refer to the physical units of the device tested in the lab, but the number of units is not specified. There is no patient data or country of origin for the data as no clinical testing was performed ("No clinical testing was performed").

    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 is not applicable as there was no clinical study, no patient data, and therefore no "ground truth" established by experts in the context of clinical interpretation or outcomes. The ground truth for the non-clinical tests would be the established performance standards set by the cited ISO and ASTM documents.

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

    This is not applicable as there was no clinical study or expert review for adjudication.

    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 is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device (nasal cannula), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.

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

    This is not applicable, as it is not an algorithm-based device.

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

    Since no clinical study comparing the new device's performance against a "ground truth" in patients was conducted per the document ("No clinical testing was performed"), the concept of "ground truth" in a clinical sense is not applicable. For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" is adherence to the specified performance characteristics and safety profiles as measured against the requirements of the cited ISO and ASTM standards. These standards define the acceptable range for each test parameter (e.g., cytotoxicity, leachable substances thresholds, connection strength, leak rates).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This is not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

    This is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each test listed. It mentions "Each test sample" for Cleaning Validation, implying multiple samples were tested. For other tests like Resistance to Water Penetration, Tensile Strength, and Particle Generation, it refers to "Test and Report" without specifying quantity.
    The data provenance is not specified. It can be inferred that these tests were conducted by the manufacturer, Medline Industries, LP, to support their 510(k) submission.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The listed tests are non-clinical bench tests and sterilization validations, which typically rely on standardized methods and laboratory analysis rather than expert human interpretation for "ground truth" establishment in the same way, for example, medical image analysis would.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. The tests are objective, laboratory-based physical, chemical, and biological evaluations, not requiring human adjudication of results in the traditional sense.

    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 device is a medical accessory (sterilization wrapper) and does not involve AI or human "readers" for interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Medline UNITE® MIS Foot Recon Screw System, which is a medical device. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing. It explicitly states that no clinical testing (human or animal) was performed.

    Therefore, many of the requested details, such as those related to multi-reader multi-case studies, expert adjudication for ground truth, and the use of training and test sets in the context of an AI/ML algorithm, are not applicable to this document as it does not describe an AI/ML powered device or a clinical study for device performance.

    However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical device based on the non-clinical testing conducted.

    Here's the information that can be extracted and responses for the "not applicable" sections:

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

    Acceptance Criteria (from FDA's Bone Screw SPBP Guidance)Reported Device Performance (Medline UNITE® MIS Foot Recon Screw System)
    Torsional Yield Strength: 0.6 N-m for a 2.5mm nominal major diameter screwAverage torsional yield strength: 0.66 N-m for Ø2.5mm PT screws (MSCP2526)
    Driving or removal torque less than 50% of the torsional yield strengthDriving and removal torque: 6.36% of the torsional yield strength
    Predicted shear failure force (for Axial Pullout Strength)Met FDA's Bone Screw Guidance acceptance criteria for predicted shear failure force (via engineering analysis)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Sample Size (Torsional Yield Strength): 6 samples (Ø2.5mm PT screws - MSCP2526)
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, but given it's non-clinical lab testing of physical screws, it's likely internal lab data or from a testing facility. It is not patient data.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, and ground truth for its mechanical properties is established through standardized engineering testing (ASTM F543-23) rather than expert interpretation of medical images or clinical data.

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

    • Not Applicable. See response for #3. Data is derived from objective physical testing, not subjective expert assessment.

    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. No MRMC study was conducted as this is a physical medical device (bone screw), not an AI/ML diagnostic software. No human readers are involved in its primary function or assessment for regulatory clearance in this context.

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

    • Not Applicable. No algorithm performance was assessed as this is a physical medical device.

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

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes the FDA 510(k) premarket notification for the Hudson RCI Dri-Tech Breathing Circuits. This document outlines the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison with a predicate device, along with a summary of non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

    However, the document does not contain specific acceptance criteria in the form of numerical performance targets, nor does it detail a study that proves the device meets such criteria using a test set, expert adjudication, or MRMC/standalone performance metrics. The information provided heavily focuses on bench testing to established industry standards (e.g., ISO 5367:2014, ISO 80601-2-74:2017) and biocompatibility testing.

    Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance as requested, because specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., a specific percentage for sensitivity or specificity) are not stated for AI/algorithm performance. The document describes a comparison to a predicate device and adherence to recognized standards, which are the basis for the FDA's substantial equivalence determination for this breathing circuit, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.

    Similarly, other requested information such as sample size for the test set, data provenance, number and qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC study details, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment are not applicable to the type of device and testing described in this FDA submission. The device is a medical accessory, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or assistive tool.

    Key takeaways from the document regarding "acceptance criteria" and "study":

    • Acceptance Criteria (as implied by the regulatory submission): The "acceptance criteria" for this device are implicitly tied to demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and meeting the requirements of recognized international standards for breathing circuits. These standards define performance characteristics such as resistance to flow, compliance, and leakage.

      • Resistance to Flow: Less than 1.8 cmH2O @ 30 LPM (per ISO 5367:2014)
      • Compliance: Less than 5 mL/cmH2O @ 60 cmH2O (per ISO 5367:2014)

    Intended Use

    Rx Indications for Use: PluroGel® Antimicrobial Burn and Wound Dressing is indicated for the management of full and partial thickness wounds including surgically created wounds, dermal ulcers (pressure ulcers), leg ulcers (diabetic foot ulcers), superficial wounds, first degree burns, partial thickness burns, and donor sites. PluroGel® Antimicrobial Burn and Wound Dressing maintains a moist wound and skin environment that supports autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue.

    OTC Indications for Use: PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing (OTC) is indicated for the management of minor cuts, minor burns, and minor lacerations. PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing (OTC) maintains a moist wound and skin environment.

    Device Description

    PluroGel® Antimicrobial Burn and Wound Dressing and PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing (OTC) is a translucent, biocompatible, odorless, semisolid gel intended to provide and maintain a clean and moist wound environment that is conducive to healing. The dressing maintains moisture in the wound and protects the wound from desiccation to provide an optimal moist wound environment conducive to wound healing. PluroGel® Antimicrobial Burn and Wound Dressing and PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing (OTC) is non-cytotoxic, contains a surfactant, and is water soluble to aid in the removal of wound debris in between dressing changes.

    PluroGel® is provided non-sterile and contains phenoxyethanol and potassium sorbate as antimicrobial preservative agents to inhibit the growth of microorganisms within the product during shelf storage before and after opening.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the information required to answer your request regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria for a medical device that uses AI. The document discusses a 510(k) premarket notification for "PluroGel® Antimicrobial Burn and Wound Dressing" and "PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing (OTC)," which are wound dressings and not AI-powered devices.

    Therefore, I cannot extract details about:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI device.
    • Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or details about training sets for an AI model.
    • Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for ground truth establishment in an AI context.
    • MRMC studies, effect sizes for human readers with AI assistance, or standalone algorithm performance.
    • The type of ground truth (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) relevant to AI.

    The document primarily focuses on the substantial equivalence of the wound dressing product to a predicate device based on its intended use, technological characteristics (ingredients, form, sterility), and non-clinical testing (biocompatibility, shelf life, period of use after opening, and a single animal wound healing study). It explicitly states "Summary of Clinical Testing: Not applicable," which further confirms no human clinical trials (nor AI performance studies) were conducted for this submission.
