    The Suction Valve MAJ-1443 is attached to the suction cylinder of a compatible endoscope to remove any fluids, debris, or air from the patient and to remove water from the balloon. Suction Valve MAJ-1443 has no patient-contacting components and is a reusable device.

    The Air/Water Valve MAJ-1444 is attached to the air/water cylinder of a compatible endoscope to feed air to remove any fluid or debris adhering to the objective lens, to feed water for lens washing, and to fill the balloon with sterile water. MAJ-1444 has indirect patient-contacting components and is a reusable device.

    The subject device has the same technological characteristics and similar design as the applicable predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for two medical device accessories: the Suction Valve (MAJ-1443) and the Air/Water Valve (MAJ-1444). These devices are classified as endoscopic accessories.

    Based on the information provided, the study conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria focused on bench testing to demonstrate the functionality of reusable accessories, rather than a clinical study involving human patients, AI integration, or multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) studies.

    Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request:

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

    The document states: "The following performance bench tests were conducted. All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria." However, it does not provide the specific numerical acceptance criteria or the quantitative reported performance for each test. It only lists the types of tests performed.

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Suction Valve MAJ-1443All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria.
    - Endoscope compatibility(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Suction rate(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Balloon suction rate(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Leakage(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Depression Force(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Composite Durability(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    Air/Water Valve MAJ-1444All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria.
    - Endoscope compatibility(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Air flow rate(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Water flow rate(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Balloon water rate(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Leakage(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Depression Force(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Composite Durability(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)
    - Microbiological Evaluation of Backflow Prevention(Specific criteria and performance not detailed)

    Therefore, while the document confirms that acceptance criteria were predefined and met, the specific details of these criteria and the quantitative performance results are not included in this FDA clearance letter. This information would typically be found in the full 510(k) submission.


    Regarding the other points of your request, much of the requested information (especially concerning AI, human readers, ground truth establishment for AI models, and large-scale clinical studies) is not applicable to this particular device and its clearance.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document simply states "Test samples were final, finished devices." It does not specify the number of samples tested for each performance bench test.
    • Data Provenance: The tests were "bench testing" performed by Olympus. The data provenance is laboratory/bench data generated internally for regulatory submission. It is not patient data, and therefore, concepts like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" study design in a clinical sense do not apply.

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

    • Not Applicable. For a device like an endoscope valve, the "ground truth" for its performance is typically established through engineering specifications, material science, and functional testing as defined by recognized standards and internal quality control. This does not involve expert readers establishing ground truth on medical images or clinical outcomes.

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

    • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies where human interpretation of data (e.g., medical images) is involved and consensus is needed. For bench testing of mechanical or functional properties, the "adjudication" is based on objective measurements against engineering specifications.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This was not an AI-enabled device. The document describes a traditional medical device accessory (valves for endoscopes). MRMC studies are specific to evaluating diagnostic performance, often of AI algorithms assisting human readers.

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

    • No. This device is not an algorithm. It's a physical accessory; therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.

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

    • For these devices, the "ground truth" is defined by engineering specifications and functional requirements (e.g., specific flow rates, suction pressures, resistance to leakage, durability under repeated use, compatibility with specified endoscopes). Successful performance means meeting these pre-defined technical criteria. There is no biological "ground truth" like pathology for these mechanical accessories.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device; hence, there is no "training set."

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

    • Not Applicable. Since there is no training set, no ground truth was established for it.

    In summary: The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to reusable endoscope valves. The clearance was based on bench testing demonstrating the functional performance and durability of the devices. It is a traditional medical device clearance and does not involve AI, clinical efficacy studies with human participants, or complex ground truth establishment methods typical for AI or diagnostic imaging devices. The specific quantitative acceptance criteria and detailed performance results from these bench tests are not present in this summary document but would be part of the full 510(k) submission.

    Intended Use

    The ULTRASONIC PROBE UM-S20-17S has been designed to be used with an endoscopic ultrasound center, a probe driving unit, and an endoscope for intraluminal ultrasonic imaging of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree.

    The ULTRASONIC PROBE UM-S20-20R has been designed to be used with an endoscopic ultrasound center, a probe driving unit, and an endoscope for intraluminal ultrasonic imaging of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree.

    Device Description

    The Ultrasonic Probes have been designed to be used with an Olympus Endoscopic Ultrasound Center, a Probe Driving Unit, other ancillary equipment and an endoscope for intraluminal ultrasonic imaging of the of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree and surrounding organs.

    Ultrasonic Probes UM-S20-17S and UM-S20-20R are designed to be used in conjunction with bronchoscopes. The Probes are inserted into the patient through a channel of the endoscope.

    The Ultrasonic Probes consist of an insertion tube and a connector section. The connector section is connected to the Probe Driving Unit and the Probe Driving Unit is connected to the Ultrasound Center.

    The Ultrasonic Probe sends and receives electrical signals to and from the Ultrasound Center through the Probe Driving Unit. The Probes use a 20MHz frequency piezoelectric transducer and produce B-mode scan. They produce 360-degree mechanical/radial sonograms.

    The transducer is built into the insertion tube at the tip of the Probe. The transducer is rotated by the Probe Driving Unit within the insertion tube.

    The transducer converts the electrical signal to the ultrasound wave, sends it to the object, receives the reflected wave from the object and converts it to the electrical signal. The electrical signal is input to the Endoscopic Ultrasound Center and the ultrasound image is generated by the Endoscopic Ultrasound Center.

    UM-S20-17S and UM-S20-20R use direct contact method only.

    The Subject devices submitted for clearance each include one (1) major component: the Ultrasonic Probe, which is packaged with a Probe Holder (MH-245) and a Water-resistant Cap (MH-244).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Olympus Ultrasonic Probes (UM-S20-17S and UM-S20-20R) details the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria. However, it's crucial to note that this document pertains to ultrasonic probes (hardware) and does not involve Artificial Intelligence (AI). Therefore, many of the typical elements related to AI/ML device testing (e.g., training set, ground truth experts, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable or described in this type of submission.

    The "studies" described here are non-clinical performance tests (bench testing), demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the physical medical device by comparing its characteristics and performance to a legally marketed predicate device.


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Olympus Ultrasonic Probes

    The acceptance criteria for these ultrasonic probes are predominantly based on meeting the performance specifications of the predicate and reference devices, and complying with established medical device standards for safety and functionality. The "reported device performance" indicates that the subject devices met all the acceptance criteria through various non-clinical tests.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Based on Predicate/Reference & Standards)Reported Device Performance
    Acoustic OutputCompliance with IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 62359, IEC 62127-1, and FDA Guidance: Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers (Feb. 21, 2023). This includes parameters like:
    • Frequency: 20 MHz (matching Reference Device UM-3R)
    • Axial Resolution: 2mm or less (matching Reference Device UM-3R)
    • Lateral Resolution: 2mm or less (matching Reference Device UM-3R)
    • Frame Rate: 6.67rps (matching Reference Device UM-3R)
    • Scanning Field of View: 360° (matching Reference Device UM-3R)
    • Display Mode: B-mode (matching Predicate and Reference Devices) | All acoustic output parameters passed/met the specified criteria and standards. |

    Study Details (Applicable to Non-AI Hardware Verification)

    As this is a hardware device 510(k) submission, the study methodology focuses on non-clinical performance data and bench testing rather than clinical trials with human subjects or AI-specific assessment methods.

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

    • Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of cases or patients, as the testing was non-clinical (bench testing). The "test set" in this context refers to the manufactured probes themselves and the conditions under which they were tested (e.g., phantom models for acoustic output, simulated use for durability, material samples for biocompatibility).
    • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted internally by Olympus Medical Systems Corporation and its manufacturing site, SHIRAKAWA OLYMPUS CO., LTD. in Japan. The data is from bench testing and in-house validation, not from real-world patient data (retrospective or prospective). The manufacturing site is in Japan.

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

    • This concept is not applicable to this type of hardware 510(k) submission. "Ground truth" for these tests is established by adhering to widely accepted international standards (ISO, IEC, AAMI) and FDA guidance documents for medical device performance, safety, and manufacturing. These standards define the measurable physical and electrical properties that the device must meet. The experts involved would be engineers, quality control specialists, and regulatory affairs personnel responsible for designing, manufacturing, and testing the probes to these standards.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • This concept is not applicable. Adjudication typically refers to resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations of medical images or data, which is relevant for AI image analysis or clinical trials. For hardware testing, "adjudication" is replaced by adherence to established test protocols, measurement equipment calibration, and standard-defined pass/fail criteria.

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

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. MRMC studies are used to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance, which is not relevant for this non-AI hardware device. The equivalence claim for this device is based on technical specifications and non-clinical performance data compared to a predicate device.

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

    • No, a standalone algorithm performance test was not done. This device is a physical diagnostic ultrasonic transducer, not a software algorithm. Its "performance" refers to its ability to generate images when connected to an ultrasound center, which is then interpreted by a human operator.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • The "ground truth" for this hardware device is defined by engineering specifications, physical measurements, and compliance with national and international medical device standards. For example, acoustic output parameters are measured against specific limits defined in IEC standards, and biocompatibility is confirmed by testing against ISO 10993. There is no "expert consensus" on imaging findings, pathology, or outcomes data used as ground truth for this device's clearance.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • This concept is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device that requires machine learning.

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

    • This concept is not applicable as there is no training set.

    In summary, the FDA 510(k) clearance for the Olympus Ultrasonic Probes is based on a comprehensive set of non-clinical, bench-level performance tests demonstrating technical equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with relevant safety and performance standards for diagnostic ultrasonic transducers. It does not involve AI/ML components or associated clinical study designs like MRMC or standalone algorithm performance assessment.

    Device Description

    The EVIS EXERA III BRONCHOVIDEOSCOPES (OLYMPUS BF-XP190, OLYMPUS BF-P190, and BF-XT190) and BRONCHOVIDEOSCOPE BF-H1100 and BF-1TH1100 are used for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment within the respiratory organs. These endoscopes consist of three parts: the control section, the insertion section, and the connector section.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance documentation for the Olympus Bronchovideoscopes (K250862) primarily demonstrates substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and bench testing. It does not contain information about comparative effectiveness studies (like MRMC studies for AI devices), expert ground truth establishment, or typical performance metrics associated with AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) clearances.

    This submission focuses on:

    • Technological Equivalence: Showing that the devices (BF-XP190, BF-P190, BF-XT190, BF-H1100, and BF-1TH1100) are fundamentally the same as their predicates, with the primary change being compatibility with a new video system center (CV-1500) and updated labeling related to laser/high-frequency/APC systems.
    • Bench Testing: Verification of physical and imaging performance parameters (e.g., thermal safety, color performance, resolution, noise, video latency) to ensure they meet specifications, particularly when combined with the new video system.
    • Animal Testing: To assess the imaging modes (WLI, NBI, TXI, BAI-MAC) with the new video processor.

    Therefore, the requested information about "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of AI/software performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment by experts) is not present in this document. The document explicitly states that "Software Testing and Cybersecurity" was "not performed" due to "no design, material, sterilization, reprocessing, packaging, shelf life, or software changes" (Page 29). This implies that the device itself is a hardware endoscope, and any software associated with it is considered an intrinsic part of its established functionality, not a new or significantly changed software component requiring a separate performance study with clinical endpoints or AI evaluation.

    The "acceptance criteria" here relate to the successful completion of the listed bench (and limited animal) tests, demonstrating that the new combination (endoscope + CV-1500) functions as intended and safely, similar to the predicate combinations.

    Below is a table summarizing the "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" as derived from the document's comparison tables and performance data section, which are primarily about technical specifications and functional verification, not software/AI performance metrics.


    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Summary based on provided text)

    Since this 510(k) is for existing endoscopes with a new video system and updated labeling, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the extensive comparison tables (Tables 1-5) which show the subject devices having nearly identical technical specifications to their predicate devices, and the successful completion of specified bench and animal testing. The performance data section doesn't list specific quantitative acceptance criteria for each test but rather states that tests were conducted to "ensure that the subject device performs as intended and meet design specifications."

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criteria (Implied/Defined by Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (as stated or implied by equivalence)
    Indications for UseIdentical to predicate devices.The Indications for Use for the Subject Device is exactly the same as the Indications for Use for the equivalent Predicate Device (Page 9).
    Material CompositionIdentical materials used for key components (e.g., Insertion Tube, Bending Section Rubber).Materials are identical to predicates (e.g., Fluoro Resin, Fluoro Rubber, Epoxy Glue, Polytetrafluoro-ethylene, Polysulfone, Glass/Sapphire) (Pages 12-13, 16-17, 20-21).
    Physical DimensionsMaintain specific dimensions (e.g., Outer Diameter, Working Length, Instrument Channel inner diameter).Dimensions are identical to predicates across all models (e.g., BF-P190 Outer Diameter of Distal End Φ4.2mm, Working Length 600mm, Instrument Channel inner diameter φ2.0; BF-XP190 Outer Diameter of Distal End Φ3.1mm; BF-XT190 Outer Diameter of Distal End Φ6.1mm; BF-H1100 Distal end outer diameter ø 4.9 mm; BF-1TH1100 Distal end outer diameter ø 5.8 mm) (Pages 12, 16, 19-20, 23, 26).
    Optical/Imaging PerformanceMaintain specific optical characteristics (e.g., Depth of Field, Field of View, Pixels, CCD type).Identical optical characteristics to predicates (e.g., Depth of Field 2-50mm/3-100mm, Field of View 110°/120°, Total Number of Pixels 50,621 / 465,588, Color CCD) (Pages 11-12, 15, 19, 22, 25).
    Software FunctionalityIdentical software functions (e.g., pixel defect correction, scope info, NBI, Pre-freeze).All listed software functions are "Available" and match the predicate devices (Pages 13, 17, 21, 24, 27-28). The RDI, TXI, and BAI-MAC modes are explicitly stated as "Available" for the subject devices when previously "Not Available" for some predicates, implying this is the new feature enabled by the CV-1500 system, and their performance was assessed.
    SafetyMeet safety standards for thermal, photobiological, and ignition factors (especially with laser/HF/APC compatibility).Bench testing conducted for: Thermal Safety, Photobiological Safety, Ignition Factors Safety Study (Laser, High-Frequency, APC, Scope Comparison) to ensure performance and safety (Page 28).
    Functional VerificationPerformance as intended with the new CV-1500 video system center.Bench testing (Color Performance, Resolution, Noise and Dynamic Range, Image Intensity Uniformity, Video Latency, RDI, TXI, BAI-MAC, Automatic Brightness Adjustment, Pre-Freeze) was conducted to ensure intended performance (Page 28). Animal testing performed to assess imaging modes (WLI, NBI, TXI, BAI-MAC) with CV-1500 (Page 29).
    Risk ManagementRisks identified and mitigated in accordance with ISO 14971:2019.Risk management performed, and design verification tests and acceptance criteria identified as a result (Page 29).

    Study Details (based on provided text)

    The document describes performance testing rather than a comparative clinical study for AI/software-as-a-medical-device.

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

      • See table above. The acceptance criteria are largely implied by the equivalence to the predicate devices in terms of physical, optical, and functional characteristics, and the successful completion of specified bench and animal tests. Quantitative metrics for these tests are not provided in this summary but would have been part of the full submission.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

      • Test set sample size: Not specified. The document mentions "bench testing" and "animal testing." For bench tests, it typically refers to a small number of devices or engineered test setups. For animal testing, the number of animals or studies is not provided.
      • Data provenance: Not specified. It can be inferred that the testing was conducted by or on behalf of Olympus Medical Systems Corp. in Japan, given the manufacturing site and submitter location. It does not state if the data is retrospective or prospective, or from which country/region the "animal" data would originate.
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

      • Not applicable / Not specified. This type of information is typically provided for studies evaluating AI algorithms or diagnostic accuracy, where human experts establish a ground truth for imaging interpretation. The present submission is for a hardware endoscope system, and its performance evaluation relies on engineering specifications and functional testing, not expert interpretation of diagnostic images.
    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not applicable / Not specified. Adjudication methods are relevant for human reader studies or expert ground truth establishment, which are not detailed here.
    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

      • No, not performed / Not applicable. This submission is not for an AI companion diagnostic or an AI-software-as-a-medical-device. It's for an endoscope system. The document explicitly lists "Software Testing and Cybersecurity" and "Clinical" as "not performed" because there were no fundamental software changes beyond integration with a new video system, which itself does not constitute an AI component in the context of this 510(k) summary. The NBI, RDI, TXI, and BAI-MAC modes are imaging enhancements, not AI algorithms.
    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • Not applicable. This relates to AI/software performance, which is not the focus of this 510(k).
    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • Not applicable. For this device (endoscope), ground truth typically relates to engineering specifications (e.g., accurate measurements, clear image quality as determined by reproducible test patterns, proper functionality of mechanical parts). For the animal testing of imaging modes, the "ground truth" would be the direct observation of the animal's internal anatomy via the endoscope itself and comparison to expected/known characteristics, not an independent "pathology" or "outcomes" ground truth in a diagnostic sense.
    8. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not applicable. This submission is not for an AI system that requires a "training set."
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not applicable. As above, no AI training set is described.

    • Insertion portion

    The handle consists of a ring and a grip. The insertion portion consists of a plastic tube, stainless steel wire, nylon brush (length 6mm or 10mm, diameters 1.2 – 5 mm) and stainless steel distal tip. The grip is attached to the tube and the ring is attached to the wire. The user can move the brush at the tip of the wire back and forth by holding the grip and moving the ring back and forth. The distal tip is designed to prevent damage to the inside of the tube and/or bronchial wall.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device, specifically a disposable cytology brush. It is not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions regarding acceptance criteria and studies for AI/ML performance (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert consensus, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, effect size of human reader improvement with AI) are not applicable to this document.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through:

    • Biocompatibility testing: Ensuring the materials are safe for human contact.
    • Performance testing (Bench/Non-Clinical): Evaluating the physical and mechanical performance of the brush.
    • Sterilization and Shelf Life Testing: Confirming the device remains sterile and functional over its stated shelf life.

    Here's how the provided information relates to the performance acceptance criteria and proof for this medical device:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Disposable Cytology Brush

    For this medical device, substantial equivalence is proven by meeting established performance specifications through non-clinical (bench) testing, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization/shelf life validation. There are no AI-specific acceptance criteria or studies mentioned as this is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML software device.

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

    • Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each bench test. For these types of physical device tests, sample sizes are typically determined by established standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and statistical validity for mechanical testing (e.g., n=30, or as per specific test method requirements).
    • Data Provenance: The tests are explicitly described as "Non-Clinical (Bench) Performance Testing" and "Biocompatibility Testing." This means the data comes from laboratory experiments and material testing, not human or observational data. There is no mention of country of origin for the data; it would be generated in the manufacturer's or contracted test labs. All tests are inherently "prospective" in the sense that they are conducted specifically to validate the device's performance.

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

    • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device. Ground truth for its performance is established by objective engineering measurements, material science principles, and biological safety standards (e.g., ensuring a certain tensile strength, confirming sterility, testing for cytotoxicity per ISO standards). It does not involve human expert interpretation of images or patient data in the way an AI/ML device would.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Not applicable. See point 3. Testing results are pass/fail based on predetermined numerical or qualitative specifications from recognized standards.

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

    • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device used for diagnostic interpretation. Therefore, there is no human reader component to improve or compare against.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

    • Not applicable. There is no algorithm or software for standalone performance evaluation. The device is a physical tool.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Bench Test Specifications: The "ground truth" for this device's performance lies in its ability to meet predefined engineering specifications (e.g., force measurements, cyclical durability, material integrity) and biological safety standards (e.g., absence of toxicity, successful sterilization). This is determined through standardized laboratory testing methods rather than expert consensus on clinical cases or pathology.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML algorithm that learns from data.

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

    • Not applicable. See point 8.

    Intended Use

    The EVIS EXERA III DUODENOVIDEOSCOPE OLYMPUS TJF-Q190V has been designed to be used with a video system center, light source, documentation equipment, monitor, endo therapy accessories (such as a biopsy forceps), and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the duodenum.

    Device Description

    The EVIS EXERA III DUODENOSCOPE TJF-Q190V has been designed to be used with an video system center, light source, documentation equipment, monitor, EndoTherapy accessories (such as a biopsy forceps), and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the duodenum. The TJF-Q190V is compatible with Olympus system "Video System Center OLYMPUS CV-190 and XENON LIGHT SOURCE OLYMPUS CLV-190 (K112680)." TJF-Q190V is also compatible with Olympus system "EVIS X1 Video System Center OLYMPUS CV-1500 (K222584)."

    The subject device consists of a flexible insertion section, control section and endoscope connector section with equipped charge-coupled device (CCD) chip which delivers images.

    The light from the light source travels through the light guide to the light guide lens at the distal end. The light source can offer both white light for normal observation and narrow band imaging (NBI). The CCD chip transduces the incident light from the objective lens to electrical signal. The video processor transduces the electrical signal to video signal.

    There is an instrument channel located inside of the flexible insertion section. EndoTherapy accessories can be inserted through the instrument channel. A forceps elevator is located at the distal end of the insertion section to elevate endo therapy accessories for endoscopic treatment.

    A sterile, single-use distal cover (MAJ-2315) has been designed to be attached to the OLYMPUS TJF-Q190V to cover the distal end of the insertion tube and fit around the forceps elevator. MAJ-2315 is to be discarded after clinical use. MAJ-2315 and TJF-Q190V were previously cleared under 510(k)s K193182, K202661 and K220587.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) clearance letter for the Olympus TJF-Q190V Duodenoscope indicates that the clearance is based on adhesive modifications to the device. This implies that the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria would primarily relate to the durability and safety of the new adhesive material and its impact on the overall performance of the endoscope, particularly concerning reprocessing and material integrity.

    However, the provided text does not contain the detailed information typically found in a clinical study report or a summary of non-clinical performance data that would explicitly list acceptance criteria and device performance in the format requested. The document states:

    • "Verification/validation activities were performed subsequent to a risk assessment evaluation of the device modifications per the Olympus Quality Management System."
    • "Results of the following testing demonstrate that the changes to the device do not adversely affect device performance: Performance Testing - Bench, Sterilization and Shelf-Life - Residual Toxicity of Reprocessing Chemicals, Biocompatibility Evaluation."
    • "No clinical data were collected."

    This means the clearance was based on non-clinical (bench) testing. Therefore, I cannot provide information on clinical performance metrics, multi-reader multi-case studies, or the establishment of ground truth by human experts, as these were not part of the submission for this particular change.

    Given the limited information, I will infer the implied acceptance criteria based on the described non-clinical tests.


    Implied Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Based on the provided information, the acceptance criteria would be related to the non-clinical performance of the device with the new adhesive, ensuring it is equivalent or superior to the predicate device, especially concerning durability against reprocessing and biocompatibility.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Inferred)

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred)Reported Device Performance (Inferred from "demonstrate that the changes... do not adversely affect device performance")
    Material Durability/Mechanical Performance (Bench Testing): The modified device, including the new adhesive, must maintain its structural integrity and functionality after repeated reprocessing cycles, comparable to or better than the predicate device.The changes to the device (adhesive modifications) were verified/validated, and results demonstrate that they "do not adversely affect device performance" in terms of mechanical integrity and functionality after testing. The device performs "as well as or better than the predicate device."
    Sterilization and Shelf-Life - Residual Toxicity of Reprocessing Chemicals: The new adhesive must not retain toxic residues from reprocessing chemicals above acceptable limits, nor should it degrade in a way that compromises safety or effectiveness over its shelf-life.Testing for residual toxicity of reprocessing chemicals was performed, and results indicate no adverse effect, confirming safety and chemical compatibility.
    Biocompatibility: The new adhesive material must be biocompatible according to established standards, ensuring it does not elicit adverse biological responses when in contact with tissue.Biocompatibility evaluation was performed, and results demonstrate no adverse effect, meaning the new adhesive material meets biocompatibility standards.
    Overall Performance Equivalence: No adverse changes to optical or electrical performance, or other device specifications, compared to the predicate device."There are no changes in contents of the indications for use, conditions of use, compatible components or accessories to be marketed/used with the device, or device specifications for TJF-Q190V, including optical or electrical performance." This implies equivalence was maintained.

    Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

    The study involved non-clinical, bench-level verification and validation activities.

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

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. For bench testing, this would typically involve a defined number of devices or components subjected to various tests (e.g., durability cycles, chemical exposure). The exact number of units or test replicates is not provided in the summary.
    • Data Provenance: The manufacturing site is Aizu Olympus Co., Ltd., Japan. The testing would have been conducted in a controlled lab environment. This was a retrospective evaluation of a design modification, and the data would be laboratory-generated.

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

    • This question is not applicable as "No clinical data were collected." The "ground truth" for non-clinical bench testing would be defined by engineering specifications, material standards, and validated test methods, rather than expert human interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable. As no clinical data or human evaluations were involved for this specific submission.

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

    • No, a MRMC study was not done. The document explicitly states, "No clinical data were collected." Therefore, there is no information on how human readers might improve with or without AI assistance, as AI is not mentioned and no human reading study was conducted.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

    • Not applicable. This device is a duodenoscope, a physical medical instrument, not an AI algorithm. There is no mention of a software algorithm or standalone performance in the context of AI.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" would be based on:
      • Engineering Specifications: Device design parameters, material specifications.
      • Regulatory Standards: ISO standards for biocompatibility (e.g., ISO 10993), sterilization, and other relevant performance standards for endoscopes.
      • Validated Test Methods: Established laboratory protocols for evaluating material durability, chemical resistance, and device functionality.
      • Predicate Device Performance Baseline: The performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (K202661) served as a benchmark for substantial equivalence.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. This submission focuses on a hardware modification (adhesive) to an existing device, not the development or training of a software algorithm.

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

    • Not applicable. As there was no training set for a software algorithm.

    Device Description

    The DISPOSABLE BALLOON CATHETER B5-2C has been designed to be used for injection into bronchi, saline injection associated with bronchoalveolar lavage, and bronchial hemostasis (tamponade). The Balloon Catheter is inserted into the instrument channel of compatible bronchoscopes and advanced to the target area, where medical fluid or saline solution are injected, or the balloon is inflated to allow for hemostasis (tamponade). When the procedure is completed, the balloon is deflated, and the catheter is removed from the patient.

    The Balloon Catheter is provided sterile and is constructed of a natural rubber latex inflatable balloon, polyethylene tube, branch, irrigation port, air feed cap, and stopcock. The inflatable balloon has a maximum diameter of O 11 mm after inflation.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter and summary for a medical device (Disposable Balloon Catheter B5-2C). It does not contain any information about acceptance criteria and associated study results for an AI/ML powered device.

    The document describes the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and various performance testing. However, these tests are standard for a physical medical device (biocompatibility, bench testing for physical properties like balloon diameter, strength, etc.) and do not involve AI/ML performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, or the involvement of expert readers for ground truth establishment.

    Therefore, I cannot provide accurate answers to the questions based on the provided text, as the information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI-powered device is not present.

    The DISPOSABLE BIOPSY FORCEPS FB-211D/221D/231D/241D are intended to be used to collect tissue within the tracheobronchial tree in combination with a bronchoscope

    Device Description

    The Disposable Biopsy Forceps FB-211D, FB-221D, FB-231D, and FB-241D (also known as "EndoJaw") have been designed to collect tissue within the tracheobronchial tree in combination with a flexible bronchoscope. The Disposable Biopsy Forceps are inserted into the channel of a bronchoscope to collect tissue by biting the surface of the lesion with a pair of forceps located at the distal end of the device. The Disposable Biopsy Forceps are withdrawn from the channel and the tissue sample is collected.

    The Disposable Biopsy Forceps consists of a handle and an insertion portion. The handle consists of a handle body and slider. The insertion portion consists of a sheath, metallic coil (operating wire), cups, and forceps cap. The slider is connected to the operating wire in the insertion portion and the cups are opened/closed by advancing/retreating the slider with the function of the connection parts. The subject device is available in multiple distal end cup shapes; FB-211D – Alligator jaw-step, FB-221D – Alligator jaw-step with needle, FB-231D – Oval type, and FB-241D – Oval type with needle.

    AI/ML Overview

    This response is based solely on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the Olympus Disposable Biopsy Forceps.

    Analysis of the Provided Document:

    The provided document is an FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for a medical device: Disposable Biopsy Forceps. This type of clearance is for devices that are "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices. The key takeaway from this document is that the clearance is based on comparing the new device to a predicate device through non-clinical bench testing, not on clinical performance studies involving human subjects or AI-assisted diagnostic accuracy.

    Therefore, the questions regarding ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and sample sizes for training/test sets related to diagnostic accuracy (which would be typical for an AI/software as a medical device) are not applicable to this specific 510(k) clearance documentation.

    The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to the engineering and performance specifications tested during the non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.


    Responses based on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter:

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

    The document states: "All test samples passed pre-defined acceptance criteria." However, the specific quantitative acceptance criteria for each test and the detailed reported performance metrics are not explicitly provided in this summary. The document only lists the types of performance tests conducted.

    Human Factors Evaluation(Implied: Safe for intended users, uses, and use environments)Determined safe

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

    • Sample Size: The document mentions "All test samples" but does not specify the numerical sample sizes used for each of the non-clinical bench tests.
    • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by Olympus. The document does not specify country of origin for data as this is a device clearance based on manufacturing and performance testing, not patient data from clinical studies. The testing was prospective in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to evaluate the new device.

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

    This question is not applicable as this 510(k) clearance is for a physical medical device (biopsy forceps) and is based on engineering performance demonstration through non-clinical bench testing, not on clinical diagnostic accuracy or interpretation of medical images/data (which would require expert ground truth).

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

    This question is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 3. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective image interpretation or clinical outcomes, not for objective bench test measurements of a physical device.

    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 question is not applicable as the clearance is for a physical biopsy forceps and does not involve AI or human readers for diagnostic interpretation.

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

    This question is not applicable as the clearance is for a physical biopsy forceps and does not involve an algorithm.

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

    This question is not applicable as the device is cleared based on non-clinical performance characteristics (e.g., insertion, withdrawal, force of jaws, sterility, shelf-life) which are evaluated against predefined engineering specifications and physical measurements, not against clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This question is not applicable as this is a physical medical device clearance, not an AI/machine learning device that requires a "training set."

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

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

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) Premarket Notification document describes a medical device, the "Single Use Cannula V and the Single Use 2-Lumen Cannula V PR Series," and its comparison to a predicate device for demonstrating substantial equivalence.

    However, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of device performance as typically expected for software-enabled devices or those with diagnostic capabilities.

    This submission is for a physical medical device (cannulas) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance testing of its physical properties and biocompatibility. Therefore, many of the requested categories (like sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types) are not applicable to the information provided.

    Based on the document, here's what can be extracted and what cannot:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The document outlines performance data that was provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than specific and quantitative acceptance criteria with reported numerical device performance against those criteria. The "Analysis" column in the comparison table broadly states "Substantially equivalent" or "Identical," but doesn't provide the detailed numbers that would typically be associated with acceptance criteria for a diagnostic or algorithmic device.

    Performance Data CategoryDescription
    BiocompatibilityCytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity
    Sterilization ValidationPer ISO 11135:2014
    Ethylene Oxide ResidualsPer ISO 10993-7:2008
    Packaging Validation & Shelf LifePer ISO 11607-1:2019 and ASTM F1980-21
    Mechanical Testing & Comparative TestingInsertion force/Withdrawal force, Insertion w/ Stylet, Attachment and detachment of the hook, Contrast medium infusion, Connection strength, Visibility
    Human Factors TestingVerification of device performance

    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance (General statement from the document):

    The document states: "Non-clinical testing demonstrates that the slight differences in device design do not alter the safety, efficacy, or performance of the subject devices when compared to the predicate devices." and "The non-clinical data demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the identified predicate device." This is a qualitative conclusion of meeting equivalence rather than presenting specific numerical acceptance criteria.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the provided document. The performance data refers to various non-clinical tests, and the sample size for these individual tests (e.g., number of cannulas tested for insertion force) is not detailed.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. The tests are non-clinical (laboratory/bench testing).

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

    • Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood for diagnostic performance (e.g., disease presence/absence) is not relevant for these non-clinical, physical device performance tests. "Human Factors Testing" is mentioned, which would involve experts, but the number and qualifications are not provided, nor is it the type of "ground truth" establishment usually refers to in the context of diagnostic AI.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. This is typically used for clinical study endpoints or image interpretation, not for physical performance tests of a cannula.

    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 physical cannula, not an AI or diagnostic imaging system.

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

    • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.

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

    • Not applicable in the conventional sense. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would be the physical properties and functional performance measured against predefined specifications or predicate device performance.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable for a physical device where "training set" doesn't apply in the context of machine learning.

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

    • Not applicable for a physical device.

    Intended Use

    The COLONOVIDEOSCOPE OLYMPUS CF-EZ1500DL & CF-EZ1500DI are intended to be used with a video system center, endoscope position detecting unit, documentation equipment, monitor, endoscopic therapy accessories (such as a biopsy forceps), and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery.

    The COLONOVIDEOSCOPE OLYMPUS CF-EZ1500DL/I are indicated for use within the lower digestive tract (including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon, and ileocecal valve).

    The GASTROINTESTINAL VIDEOSCOPE OLYMPUS GIF-EZ1500 is intended to be used with a video system center, documentation equipment, monitor, endoscopic therapy accessories (such as a biopsy forceps), and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery.

    The GASTROINTESTINAL VIDEOSCOPE OLYMPUS GIF-EZ1500 is indicated for use within the upper digestive tract (including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum).

    Device Description

    The endoscope consists of three parts: the control section, the insertion section, and the connector section.

    1. Control section: The UP/DOWN angulation control knob and the RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knob on the control section are connected to the tip of the bending section by a series of wires. By operating the angulation control knobs, the bending section at the distal end bends vertically or parallel to guide the distal end for insertion and observation. The observation mode can be selected by focus switching function, "near focus mode" featuring innovative resolving power for close observation or "normal focus mode" for normal observation. To realize the dual focus mechanism, Voice Coil Motor (VCM) is incorporated as an actuator. The endoscope contains a cylinder to attach a suction valve for suction and air/water valve. Depressing the suction valve will allow the physician to use the endoscope to suction any fluids which are obscuring a good view of the tissue. Therapeutic instruments can be passed through the instrument channel for performing endoscopic biopsy and other therapies. Depressing the air/water valve will allow the doctor to feed water through the endoscope for lens washing. It also can be operated to feed air for removing any fluids or debris adhering to the objective lens.

    2. Insertion section: The insertion section has main parts including the image guide, light guides that bring light from the video system center through the endoscope, and instrument channel where therapeutic tools can be pushed in and out (also the suction channel).

    3. Connector section: The connector section connects the endoscope with the video system center (CV-1500) through the universal cord.

    AI/ML Overview

    It appears crucial information regarding the AI or software components' acceptance criteria and the specific study proving the device meets these criteria is missing from the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Olympus Endoscopes (K250432).

    The document details the substantial equivalence of the new endoscopes (CF-EZ1500DL/DI and GIF-EZ1500) to their predicates based on physical characteristics, intended use, and general performance. It mentions extensive non-clinical testing, including:

    • Reprocessing validation
    • Biocompatibility testing
    • Software verification and validation (mentioning FDA guidance for software in medical devices, but not detailing specific performance criteria or tests related to AI/image analysis capabilities)
    • Electrical safety and EMC
    • Bench testing (performance characteristics like DOF/FOV, Resolution, Noise, etc.)
    • Animal study to confirm WLI, NBI, RDI, and TXI performance.
    • Risk management

    However, the prompt asks for specifics related to an AI/Software component's acceptance criteria and its performance study. The provided text focuses on the endoscope hardware itself and its basic image capture and display functionalities. There is no mention of any AI-driven image analysis, diagnostic augmentation, or automated detection capabilities that would require the kind of clinical performance study details (e.g., sample size, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies) outlined in the prompt.

    The "Indications for Use" for these endoscopes clearly state their purpose is for "endoscopy and endoscopic surgery" for visualization. They are tools for observation and facilitating therapeutic accessories. They are not described as having an AI component for automated analysis or diagnosis.

    Therefore, since the provided document does not indicate the presence of an AI or advanced software feature requiring a separate performance study with associated acceptance criteria, I cannot fulfill most of the requested points.

    Here's what can be inferred or stated based on the provided document and the information that is explicitly NOT present:


    Based on the provided document, there is no evidence of an AI-driven or advanced image analysis software component in the Olympus Endoscopes (CF-EZ1500DL/DI and GIF-EZ1500) that would necessitate the type of acceptance criteria and performance study described in the prompt.

    The 510(k) clearance focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate endoscopes by comparing physical and operational characteristics, and through general performance testing of the device hardware and its fundamental image capture capabilities.

    However, if we were to hypothetically assume there was an AI/Software component (e.g., for polyp detection), and based on common FDA expectations for such devices, here's how the answer would look, highlighting what's missing:


    Acceptance Criteria and Study Proving Device Performance (Hypothetical AI Component)

    Note: The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for K250432 does not detail any specific AI or advanced image analysis software functionality, nor does it contain the performance study metrics for such a component. The following table and points are constructed under the assumption of such a component existing, to illustrate what an ideal response would contain if the information were available in the document.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Hypothetical AI Component)

    Since no AI/software component is described in the provided document, this table cannot be filled with actual data. Below is a hypothetical example of what such a table would contain if an AI component for, e.g., polyp detection, were present.

    Acceptance Criterion (Hypothetical)Threshold (Hypothetical)Reported Device Performance (Hypothetical)Pass/Fail (Hypothetical)
    Sensitivity for Polyp Detection≥ 90%92.5%Pass
    Specificity for Polyp Detection≥ 80%85.1%Pass
    False Positive Rate per Case≤ 2.0 per case1.8 false positives per casePass
    Latency for AI Annotation≤ 100 ms50 msPass

    2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified (as no AI performance study is detailed). Typical AI/CADe clearances involve hundreds to thousands of cases.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified. For AI devices, this would typically include details like:
      • Country of Origin (e.g., multi-center, US, Europe, Asia)
      • Retrospective or Prospective collection
      • Diversity of patient demographics, disease prevalence, equipment used, etc.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

    • Number of Experts: Not specified. For AI/CADe devices, often 3 or more independent experts are used.
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not specified. Typically, this would involve board-certified gastroenterologists or colorectal surgeons with significant experience (e.g., 5-10+ years) in endoscopic procedures, potentially sub-specialized in screening/surveillance or interventional endoscopy.

    4. Adjudication Method for Test Set

    • Adjudication Method: Not specified. Common methods for AI medical device clearances include:
      • Majority Rule: E.g., 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 5 experts agree.
      • Consensus Reading: Experts review and discuss cases to reach a unanimous decision.
      • 2+1 or 3+1: Initial reads by 2 or 3 experts, with a senior adjudicator resolving discrepancies.
      • Pathology Correlation: Where possible, biopsy/histology results serve as the definitive ground truth.

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

    • MRMC Study Conducted?: No mention of an MRMC study. The document states "No clinical study was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence." This implies that any human-in-the-loop performance evaluation of an AI component was not required or not conducted for this 510(k).
    • Effect Size of Human Improvement (if applicable): Not applicable as no MRMC study is mentioned. If performed, this would report metrics like the change in reader sensitivity, specificity, or reading time with AI assistance compared to without.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

    • Standalone Performance Conducted?: No explicit mention of a standalone algorithm performance study with specific metrics (e.g., AUC, sensitivity, specificity on a defined dataset). The "Software verification and validation" generally refers to software engineering and quality assurance, not necessarily clinical performance of an AI algorithm itself.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Type of Ground Truth: Not specified. If an AI component were present for lesion detection, ground truth would typically be established by:
      • Expert Consensus: As described in point 3.
      • Pathology/Histology: Biopsy results confirming the presence or absence of lesions. This is often considered the gold standard for many gastrointestinal applications.
      • Clinical Outcomes Data: Long-term follow-up to confirm diagnoses, though less common for initial device clearance.

    8. Sample Size for Training Set

    • Sample Size for Training Set: Not specified. This information is typically not included in FDA clearance letters unless directly relevant to a novel AI claim. Training set sizes for medical AI can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of images/cases.

    9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established

    • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not specified. It would generally be established through similar methods as the test set (e.g., expert annotations, pathological confirmation), often with additional data augmentation or curation processes.
