    Intended Use

    The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs can be utilized for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, correction of an underdeveloped breast, scar revision and tissue defect procedures. The expander is intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation and is not intended for use beyond six months.

    Device Description

    The PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs is designed for breast reconstruction, designed for thinner components and a reduction of reinforcement features and minimized insertion profile. The integrated port design consists of a plastic needle guard and a smaller magnetic element to improve MR compatibility (MR Conditional). The next generation design control technology (DCT) facilitates predictable expansion and is shape-optimized to better match the entire implant portfolio. An improved Bufferzone features a new sheeting-based self-sealing technology that offers protection from inadvertent needle punctures across the entire coverage area, and a more flexible design, which improves the overall device flexibility. An internally fixated injection port reduces device bulkiness. The injection port will incorporate a new plastic needle guard with a silicone backing and smaller magnet with reduced magnetic field strength compared to the Artoura™ breast tissue expander devices. This feature reduction improves device compatibility with MR-CT imaging, and external beam radiation (such as photon beam).

    Identification of the injection port site is accomplished by use of the CENTERSCOPE™ 2.0 Magnetic Injection Port Locator, which is provided with the Tissue Expander. When the Centerscope™ 2.0 device is placed on top of the skin, the magnetic arm points to the center of the tissue expander's injection port. Injections into the injection port area are made using the provided infusion needle set to inject sterile, pyrogen-free Sodium Chloride U.S.P. Solution.

    The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs incorporates suture tabs to provide surgeons with the option to attach the device to surrounding tissue for enhanced device stability.

    The MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs are provided sterile in three styles (Low Height, Medium Height, and Tall Height) and various sizes.

    The following accessories are packaged with the MENTOR™ PliaForm™ Breast Tissue Expander w/ Suture Tabs:

    • Centerscope™ 2.0 Magnetic Injection Port Finder
    • Winged Infusion Set (21G)
    AI/ML Overview

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each mechanical, biocompatibility, or MR/CT/RT test. For a physical device, testing is typically done on a defined number of manufactured units to demonstrate design validation and manufacturing quality. The data provenance is derived from these laboratory tests, not from patient data, and is prospective based on manufacturing and testing protocols. No specific country of origin for test data is mentioned, as is common for laboratory-based performance testing of medical devices.

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

    This question is not applicable in the context of this device. "Ground truth" for a physical device is established through engineering specifications, material science principles, and adherence to industry standards (e.g., ASTM F1441-03 for soft-tissue expanders). The "experts" involved would be engineers, material scientists, and quality assurance personnel responsible for designing, manufacturing, and testing the device against these objective criteria.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This concept is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used in clinical studies or AI evaluations to resolve discrepancies in human interpretations or expert annotations. For physical device testing, results are typically quantitative and objectively measured against pre-defined engineering thresholds. Deviations from these thresholds would be considered failures, not subject to subjective adjudication.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    Not applicable. MRMC studies are used to assess the diagnostic performance of human readers, often comparing performance with and without AI assistance. This document pertains to a physical implantable device, not a diagnostic AI system or an imaging modality.

    6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Performance

    Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or AI system. Its "performance" is inherent to its physical properties and function when implanted.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this physical device is defined by:

    • Engineering Specifications: Design parameters, material properties, and functional requirements established during product development.
    • Industry Standards: Compliance with recognized standards such as ASTM F1441-03 for soft-tissue expanders.
    • Biocompatibility Standards: Adherence to ISO 10993 series for medical device biocompatibility.
      All test methods measure against these predefined, objective criteria.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI model requiring a training set. Its design and manufacturing processes are developed through engineering R&D, not machine learning.

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

    Not applicable. As this is not an AI model, there is no "ground truth for a training set." The design and manufacturing are based on established engineering principles, material science, and regulatory requirements.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the MENTOR™ MemoryShape™ Resterilizable Gel Breast Implant Sizer, MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Resterilizable Gel Breast Implant Sizer, and MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Enhance Single Use Gel Sizer. The primary change described is a material change for the Dip Coat component from Krayden / Dow DC 92-009 to NuSil MED6-6605.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The document provides two tables outlining acceptance criteria and results for:

    • Dip Coat Process PQ Testing (Table 4): This assesses the manufacturing process of applying the new dip coat material.
    • Sizers Reprocessing Product Lifetime Testing (Table 5): This evaluates the durability and integrity of the new dip coat material over the expected device lifetime.
    Acceptance Criteria CategoryAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformancePass/Fail
    Dip Coat Process PQ Testing (Table 4)
    In Process Visual InspectionYield ≥ Product Target Yield"In Process Visual inspection on each of the lots showed a Yield above the Product Target Yield."PASS
    Visual Inspection after 2X Sterilization ProcessC=0 / 100% Pass"Visual inspection after 2X Sterilization Process showed 100% acceptable Dip Coat."PASS
    Sizers Reprocessing Product Lifetime Testing (Table 5)
    Visual examination (Dip coat integrity)The dip coat on each device shall maintain full integrity and adherence of the dipcoat to the substrate posterior side of the sizer."PASS" (Implied: The dip coat maintained full integrity and adherence.)PASS
    Visual examination (Leakage)There shall be no evidence of leakage of gel or like fluid in and around the dip coat at the injection hole site."PASS" (Implied: No evidence of leakage of gel or like fluid.)PASS
    Visual examination (Cracking/Delamination)Dip coat shall show no sign of cracking, delamination, or any leakage from fill hole."PASS" (Implied: Dip coat showed no sign of cracking, delamination, or any leakage from fill hole.)PASS

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

    • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state a specific numerical sample size for the "Dip Coat Process PQ Testing" or the "Sizers Reprocessing Product Lifetime testing." For the PQ testing, it mentions "each of the lots" and "100% acceptable Dip Coat," suggesting all manufactured units in the tested lots were visually inspected. For the lifetime testing, it refers to "any of the test samples."
    • Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by MENTOR™ as part of their performance qualification and product lifetime testing for their manufacturing process in MENTOR™ Texas. This is an internal, prospective study to validate a material change.

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

    This submission concerns mechanical and material performance, not diagnostic accuracy requiring human expert interpretation for ground truth. Therefore, there were no human experts used to establish a ground truth as would be relevant for an AI/CADe device. The ground truth for performance was established by measurable engineering and material integrity criteria.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not applicable, as no human expert interpretation or adjudication was involved for establishing ground truth performance for this type of device and material change. The criteria were objective (e.g., visual inspection for yield, integrity, and absence of leakage/cracking).

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

    No. This is not a comparative effectiveness study for human readers with and without AI assistance. The device is a breast implant sizer, and the studies focus on the physical performance and biocompatibility of a material change.

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

    Not applicable. This submission is not for an algorithm or AI device. It is for a physical medical device (breast implant sizer).

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The ground truth used for these performance studies is based on objective engineering and material integrity criteria. This includes:

    • Visual inspection for manufacturing yield.
    • Visual inspection for dip coat integrity (adherence, absence of cracking, delamination).
    • Detection of leakage.
    • Biocompatibility test results (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity, acute systemic toxicity) against established standards and historical data for similar materials.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set. The studies are physical performance tests of a material.

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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, there is no ground truth established for a training set.

    Intended Use

    The MENTOR™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Smooth Breast Tissue Expander with fill volume to 1445cc can be used for breast reconstruction after mastection of an underdeveloped breast, scar revision and tissue defect procedures. The devices are intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation and are not intended for use beyond six months.

    Device Description

    The MENTOR™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander is used for breast reconstruction following mastectomy and is intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation and is not intended for use beyond six months. The proposed device consists of a smooth surface shell made with successive cross-linked layers of silicone elastomer identical to the predicate device (K241918). Again, identical to the predicate device, the subject device contains superior and anterior reinforcement which allows for directional expansion in the lower pole of the device has an integral, silicone elastomer, magnetically detected, injection dome and incorporates a BUFFERZONE™ area with self-sealing technology (containing silicone gel) to the front patch of the device to minimize and/or prevent leakage in the event of an accidental needle puncture. The CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander Injection Dome houses a rare-earth, permanent magnet. This internal magnet, when in conjunction with the CENTERSCOPE™ Magnetic Injection Port Locator accessory, helps the injector accurately identify the injection dome during patient tissue expander fill procedures.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) premarket notification is for the Mentor™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander, which is a medical device for breast reconstruction. The submission is specifically to expand the lower limit fill volume of the device from 930cc to 850cc, aligning it with a predicate device (K152496).

    Based on the provided text, here's a description of the acceptance criteria and the study that demonstrates the device meets these criteria:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria/TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformanceStudy Proving Performance
    BiocompatibilityAll materials used in the deviceMaterials identical to predicate device (K241918) which has established biocompatibility.All patient contact materials are identical to the predicate device with fill volumes from 930cc-1445cc. No new biocompatibility testing was warranted.Not explicitly described as a new study for this submission; relies on previous testing of the predicate device.
    Mechanical PerformanceOverexpansion and Bladder LeakageMeet pre-determined acceptance criteria based on ASTM F1441-03 at a label fill volume of 1445cc.Previous testing on the predicate CPX™4 PLUS Enhance expander (K241918) with fill volumes 930cc to 1445cc demonstrated ability to meet pre-determined mechanical performance testing requirements at a volume up to and including 1445cc.Relies on previous mechanical testing performed on the predicate device (K241918) which was at the worst-case highest fill volume. No new mechanical testing was conducted for this submission.
    Puncture IntegritySelf-sealing technology (BUFFERZONE™)Minimize and/or prevent leakage in the event of an accidental needle puncture.The device incorporates a BUFFERZONE™ area with self-sealing technology to minimize and/or prevent leakage. Filling is achieved via an integral injection dome with needle guard.Not explicitly described as a new study for this submission; is a design feature identical to the predicate.

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

    No new test set was used for this 510(k) submission. The submission relies on the established performance of the predicate device (K241918) and the equivalence of the materials and design. The change is solely to expand the lower limit of the fill volume range.

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

    Not applicable, as no new clinical or performance test set was described for this specific submission. The submission leverages the prior clearance of predicate devices, which would have undergone their own testing and validation processes.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    Not applicable, as no new test set requiring expert adjudication was described for this specific submission.

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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a breast tissue expander, not a diagnostic imaging AI algorithm that would typically be evaluated with MRMC studies.

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

    Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device (breast tissue expander), not an algorithm or AI software.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    For the original predicate device clearances on which this submission relies, the ground truth for mechanical performance would have been established through objective measurement of physical properties and performance benchmarks (e.g., pressure testing, leak testing) according to ASTM standards. Biocompatibility ground truth would be established through established biological evaluation tests based on ISO 10993.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

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

    Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.


    Summary of the Study Proving the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria for this specific 510(k):

    The submission for the Mentor™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander with fill volumes from 850cc to 1445cc does not describe new studies or new acceptance criteria. Instead, it presents a special 510(k) where the core argument for meeting acceptance criteria is that:

    1. Identical Technology and Materials: The proposed device has the same scientific technology, principles of operation, intended use, indications for use, and all patient contact materials as the cleared predicate device (K241918).
    2. Worst-Case Mechanical Testing Already Performed: Previous mechanical testing on the predicate device (K241918) was conducted at the maximum labeled fill volume of 1445cc. This volume represents the "worst case" for overexpansion and bladder leak testing, as it results in the most internal pressure.
    3. No Impact of Lower Fill Volume: Reducing the lower limit fill volume from 930cc to 850cc does not adversely affect the mechanical performance (overexpansion and bladder leak) already demonstrated at the worst-case 1445cc. Therefore, no new mechanical testing was deemed necessary.
    4. Established Biocompatibility: Since all patient contact materials are identical to the predicate device, which has already established biocompatibility, no new biocompatibility testing was required for this submission.

    In essence, the "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria for this particular submission is the analysis of device equivalence and the justification that prior testing on the predicate device at its most challenging parameters (highest fill volume) sufficiently covers the slightly expanded range offered by the subject device (lower fill volume).

    Device Description

    The MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Enhance Single Use Gel Breast Implant Sizer (Sizer) is a silicone elastomer device, filled with silicone gel, that is designed for temporary intraoperative placement in the surgically prepared breast pocket. The Sizer is used to evaluate the appropriate MemoryGel™ Breast Implant size and shape for each patient prior to implantation of a breast implant. It is provided sterile and is for single use only. The Sizer should not be resterilized.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the MENTOR™ MemoryGel™ Enhance Single Use Gel Sizer. It outlines the device description, indications for use, comparison to a predicate device, and summaries of non-clinical testing and performance data.

    However, the request asks for specific details about the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria, particularly in the context of an AI medical device. The provided FDA document does not pertain to an AI medical device. Instead, it describes a physical medical device (a breast implant sizer). Therefore, many of the requested points, such as AI-specific performance metrics (e.g., effect size of human readers with AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance), and details about training/test sets for an AI model, are not applicable to this document.

    The document discusses biocompatibility testing and physical performance data for the sizer device. I will extract the relevant "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" information from the provided text as best as possible, mapping it to the closest available information, while explicitly noting when requested information is not present or not applicable due to the nature of the device described.

    Study Details (as applicable to a physical device, not an AI device)

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

      • The document does not explicitly state sample sizes for each specific test. It mentions "test articles" (e.g., "Intact, smooth and Siltex MemoryGel breast implants" for cytotoxicity) which implies physical samples were used.
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The testing seems to be laboratory-based performance and biocompatibility testing of manufactured units, rather than human subject data or image data. It refers to established standards (e.g., EN ISO 10993-1, FDA Guidance).
      • Retrospective or Prospective: Not applicable in the context of device design verification; these are laboratory tests.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

      • Not applicable. This relates to physical and biological testing metrics, not interpretation of clinical data by experts for ground truth establishment. Biocompatibility results are typically determined by laboratory assays and objective measurements against established standards, not expert consensus. The "ground truth" for physical properties would be engineering specifications and measurements.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not applicable. This is relevant for image-based or clinical human-in-the-loop studies (e.g., for AI). For physical device testing, results are typically determined by validated testing methods and equipment.
    4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

      • Not applicable. This is a physical breast implant sizer, not an AI device. No human-in-the-loop studies involving AI assistance are described.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
    6. The type of ground truth used:

      • For Biocompatibility: Laboratory test results, conducted according to ISO 10993 standards and FDA guidance, measuring specific biological responses (e.g., cytotoxicity, sensitization).
      • For Physical Performance: Engineering specifications and objective physical measurements (e.g., strength, elongation, break force, cohesiveness). This leverages testing conducted to qualify the device as an implant, implying adherence to implant design specifications.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not applicable. This refers to a physical device, not an AI model requiring a training set. The "training" for this device is its manufacturing process and design.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not applicable. As above, there is no "training set" in the context of an AI model for this physical device. The device's "ground truth" for its design and manufacturing would be established through established engineering principles, material science, and quality control processes.

    Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (Based on the Provided Text):

    The device (MENTOR™ CPX™4 PLUS Enhance Breast Tissue Expander) demonstrates that it meets acceptance criteria through:

    • Biocompatibility Testing: The device utilizes materials identical to a previously cleared predicate device for permanent tissue contact. This indicates that the materials have already met biocompatibility standards and no new testing was required.
    • Mechanical Testing: Specific mechanical tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM F1441-03, "Standard Specification for Soft-Tissue Expanders." These tests evaluated parameters such as overexpansion and bladder leak. The document states that all results met pre-determined acceptance criteria, thus demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The changes specifically addressed in this testing were the change to a smooth surface and the addition of three suture tabs, which impacted the connection of external components (Base and Injection Dome) to the shell surface.

    The "study" described is primarily a series of engineering and materials tests demonstrating that the modified physical device (with a smooth surface and additional suture tabs) maintains the same safety and performance characteristics as its predicate devices, especially regarding its physical integrity and material compatibility.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device (breast tissue expander). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that an AI device meets specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding AI device performance, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and ground truth establishment will not be found in this document.

    However, I can extract information related to the device's
    mechanical testing performance and the acceptance criteria for those tests.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Measured Parameter)Reported Device Performance (Result/Outcome)
    Joint Strength (adherence of components to smooth shell)Met pre-determined acceptance criteria.
    OverexpansionMet pre-determined acceptance criteria.

    Note: The specific quantitative acceptance criteria values (e.g., specific force in N, volume thresholds) are not provided in this summary, only that they were "pre-determined" and met.

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

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "mechanical testing was conducted on the modified device." It does not specify the number of devices or test repetitions.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data for AI. This is a report on mechanical bench testing for a physical device.

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

    • Not applicable. This relates to mechanical bench testing, not image analysis or clinical diagnosis where expert ground truth would be established. The "ground truth" here is the physical measurement of mechanical properties.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not applicable. This relates to mechanical bench testing. Adjudication methods are typically used for subjective human assessments, e.g., in clinical trials or image labeling.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    • No. This document is not about an AI device. It's about a physical medical implant (a breast tissue expander).

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

    • No. This is not an AI device.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Engineering/Physical Measurements: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from standardized mechanical testing (specifically, ASTM F1441-03 for soft-tissue expanders) and risk analysis procedures. The results are objective measurements of physical properties (joint strength, overexpansion).

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI device, so there is no "training set."

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

    • Not applicable. There is no training set as it's not an AI device.

    Summary of what the document addresses regarding the device:

    The document focuses on demonstrating that the modifications to the CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander (specifically, a smooth surface instead of textured and increased suture tabs) do not negatively impact its safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device. This is primarily done through:

    • Comparison of Technological Characteristics: Stating that the fundamental technology, principles of operation, intended use, and indications for use remain the same.
    • Mechanical Testing: Bench testing was performed to evaluate parameters related to "joint strength and overexpansion" according to ASTM F1441-03. The key finding is that "All mechanical performance testing results met their pre-determined acceptance criteria."
    • Biocompatibility Assessment: Confirming that all patient-contact materials are identical to the predicate device, thus new biocompatibility testing was not warranted.

    The "acceptance criteria" are implied to be the thresholds or standards outlined in the ASTM F1441-03 standard and Mentor's internal design control procedures for mechanical performance, which the modified device successfully met.

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

    The provided document describes non-clinical (bench) testing for mechanical performance and biocompatibility.

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices in batches, but the testing was performed on the "modified device." This would typically involve a statistically appropriate number of devices to demonstrate reliability for batch release or design verification.
    • Data Provenance: The data is generated from internal laboratory testing conducted by Mentor Worldwide LLC, as part of their design control procedures and in support of their 510(k) submission. It's essentially prospective internal testing for regulatory submission purposes. No information is provided regarding the country of origin or whether it's retrospective.

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

    This type of information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission for a breast tissue expander. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by technical specifications, engineering standards (like ASTM F1441-03), and validated test methods, not by expert human interpretation like in diagnostic AI.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are used in clinical studies, particularly in imaging or diagnostic AI, where ambiguous cases are resolved by multiple human experts. For mechanical and biocompatibility testing of a medical device, the results are typically quantitative measurements or qualitative observations against predefined criteria, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.


    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 relevant for evaluating the performance of diagnostic devices or AI systems where human readers interpret patient data (e.g., images). The Artoura™ Breast Tissue Expander is a physical implant used for reconstruction, not a diagnostic tool requiring interpretation by multiple readers. The evaluation here is based on physical and material properties.


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

    Not applicable. This device is a physical implant, not an algorithm or an AI system. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm is not relevant.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the mechanical and biocompatibility testing, the "ground truth" is established by:

    • Engineering Specifications and Design Requirements: The device must perform within predefined limits for parameters like joint strength and leak performance.
    • Established Industry Standards: Specifically, ASTM F1441-03 ("Standard Specification for Soft-Tissue Expanders") serves as a benchmark for acceptable performance.
    • Material Equivalence: For biocompatibility, the ground truth relies on the previously established biocompatibility of identical materials used in the predicate device.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This device is not an AI/ML product; it's a physical medical device. Therefore, there is no training set in this context. The "design" and "development" of the device are based on engineering principles and material science, not data training.


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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set for this physical device, the concept of establishing ground truth for it does not apply.
