The Milieve is indicated for
- The acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years of age or older.
- The prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine in patients 18 years of age or older.
The Milieve device is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) developed for the acute treatment of migraine and the prophylactic treatment of episodic migraine. The device is placed on the patient's forehead to stimulate the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is harmless to the human body. The Milieve device is indicated for OTC use.
There are two treatment programs: ACUTE and PREVENT. The ACUTE treatment program is intended for treatment during migraine attack at the onset of a migraine. The PREVENT treatment program is meant for daily preventative treatment.
The Mileve device comprises a plastic external casing and electrical components. It is operated by an internal rechargeable battery.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Milieve (YPS-301BD) device, a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator for migraine treatment. The summary demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Cefaly Dual).
The document does not describe a study involving an AI/algorithm where acceptance criteria are set for the performance of the AI model itself. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating the Milieve device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench testing and comparison of technical specifications. The acceptance criteria and "device performance" in this context refer to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Milieve device and how they compare to those of the predicate device.
Therefore, many of the requested points from your prompt (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance) are not applicable to this type of submission, as the Milieve device is a hardware medical device, not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or therapeutic system.
However, I can extract and present the relevant information regarding the device's "performance" and how its "acceptance criteria" (understood as equivalency to the predicate) are met based on the provided text.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence)
The acceptance criteria for the Milieve device are implicitly based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Cefaly Dual. This is achieved by showing that the technological characteristics and performance parameters are either identical or substantially equivalent, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The provided table directly compares the Milieve device to the Cefaly Dual (Predicate Device). The "Comparison" column indicates whether the parameters are "Identical" or "Substantially Equivalent (SE)" with notes explaining the implications of the differences.

Notes on Substantial Equivalence:
- Note 1 (Ramp down Time): "The subject device has a slightly longer ramp down time. This longer ramp time helps with subject comfort. This difference will not raise new questions of efficacy as the therapeutic session times (20 min and 60 min) are identical."
- Note 2 (Dimensions): "The dimension of the subject device is slightly different from the predicate device. This minor difference will however not raise any new safety and effectiveness issues."
- Note 3 (Weight): "The weight of the subject device is slightly more than the predicate device. This minor weight increase has not impacted the ability to hold device and electrode reliably on the forehead in the in-house tests conducted and the human factors validation study. It is therefore expected to not raise any new safety and effectiveness issues."
Regarding the AI/Algorithm-specific questions (which are not applicable to this submission):
- 2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The study was bench testing of a hardware device.
- 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth was established by direct measurement against engineering specifications and comparison to the predicate device.
- 4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable. Performance was assessed via bench testing.
- 5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is a hardware medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
- 6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a TENS unit, not an algorithm, and its use is intended for direct patient application (OTC).
- 7. The type of ground truth used: For the technical specifications, the ground truth is the performance parameters of the predicate device and established engineering standards. For the human factors validation (mentioned for weight), the ground truth is likely defined by user feedback and ability to use the device as intended.
- 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No AI model was trained.
- 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No AI model was trained.
Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria:
The study involved bench testing to demonstrate that the Milieve device's performance parameters are "substantially equivalent" to those of the predicate device (Cefaly Dual). Additionally, software verification and validation and risk management were conducted to support this equivalence. A human factors validation study was also mentioned regarding the device's weight, indicating that the slightly increased weight did not negatively impact usability.
The overarching "acceptance criteria" here is the demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, as per 510(k) requirements. The study successfully met these criteria by showing identical or non-concerning, explained differences in all critical parameters.

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for the "MEGA-IOM system with Neuro-IOM.NET software". This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K190703 Neuro-IOM system with Neuro-IOM.NET software) rather than detailing extensive clinical studies with acceptance criteria for new device performance.
The submission is for a device that has primarily undergone software updates and a change in manufacturer. Therefore, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is in the form of software verification and validation, and comparison to the predicate device's established performance.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't provide explicit "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a clinical trial (e.g., target sensitivity/specificity for a diagnostic AI). Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly demonstrating that the updated software, in conjunction with the unchanged hardware, performs identically or equivalently to the predicate device. The performance is assessed by confirming that all functional and technical specifications remain the same.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document states that the changes are primarily software-related (bug fixes, usability improvements) and do not impact the device's fundamental performance characteristic or intended use. Therefore, instead of a clinical "test set" with patient data in the typical sense for AI/diagnostic devices, the "testing" described is focused on software verification and validation.
- Sample size for test set: Not applicable in the sense of clinical cases or patient samples. The "test set" consists of software functionalities and user interface elements.
- Data provenance: Not directly applicable to patient data. The provenance relates to the software development process and testing environment. It is internal software validation data.
- Retrospective or prospective: Not applicable to patient data. Software verification and validation are typically performed prospectively during development and after changes.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This is not applicable as the "ground truth" for this submission is the established, cleared performance of the predicate device. The changes are bug fixes and usability enhancements, not a new diagnostic algorithm requiring expert-established ground truth. The "experts" would be the software developers and quality assurance personnel performing the verification and validation, ensuring the software performs as designed and intended, consistently with the predicate's established functions.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. Software verification and validation follow structured testing protocols (e.g., unit testing, integration testing, system testing, regression testing) and risk management processes. There is no "adjudication" in the sense of reconciling clinical interpretations.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
No. This submission is not for a new AI/CAD device requiring an MRMC study. It is for an established device platform with software updates. The device itself is an "Evoked Response Electrical Stimulator" and "Intraoperative Neurophysiologic System" that records data for interpretation by a neuromonitoring specialist; it does not explicitly feature AI assistance for interpretation that would necessitate an MRMC study.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This device is an instrumentation system for intraoperative neuromonitoring, where the data is recorded to be interpreted by the neuromonitoring specialist. It is inherently a human-in-the-loop system. The software updates are "troubleshooting updates for greater usability such as user interfaces and bug fixes."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" for this submission is the documented and previously cleared performance of the predicate device. The new device demonstrates substantial equivalence by showing that its software updates do not alter the fundamental safety or effectiveness of the system, which is achieved by confirming that hardware specifications remain identical, and software functions operate as expected (i.e., fixing bugs, improving usability) without introducing new risks or changing the device's core output.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a "training set" in the context of learned algorithms. The "software updates" are bug fixes and usability improvements to a traditional software application, not a learning algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The "ground truth" for the software's correct operation is defined by its functional requirements and the established performance of the predicate device.

Stimulation of peripheral nerves for diagnostic purposes.
The MEGA-TMS is intended for stimulation of peripheral nerves for diagnostic purposes. The device introduces electrical stimulation to tissue through magnetic induction generated from the coil. The obtained responses of stimulated structures is recorded with an EMG system for further diagnostic evaluation. The MEGA-TMS device is intended to be paired with a Focus EMG device cleared under FDA 510(k): K102610. Magnetic stimulation is used for peripheral nerve conduction studies and to evaluate peripheral nervous system.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the MEGA-TMS device, which is an evoked response electrical stimulator used for diagnostic purposes. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and does not describe a study to establish acceptance criteria for an AI/CADe device's performance.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding AI/CADe acceptance criteria or the study proving a device meets them. The document mentions performance testing, but this refers to safety, EMC, design verification, and risk management for the electrical stimulator, not an AI or CADe system.
The closest relevant information, though not directly applicable to an AI device's performance, is under "Electric and Magnetic Field Characteristics," where measurements and simulations were performed for electric and magnetic fields. However, this pertains to the physical and electrical characteristics of the stimulator itself, not the diagnostic performance of an AI.
To directly answer your request based on the provided text, the document does not contain the specific information you are looking for regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/CADe device meets those criteria.

The Neural Navigator is a neuronavigation system indicated for accurate positioning of the treatment coil of the CloudTMS Therapy System with respect to target brain regions based on data obtained from MRI measurements. Specifically, the Neural Navigator is indicated for use with the following CloudTMS Therapy System coils manufactured by Neurosoft Ltd: AFEC-02-100 and AFEC-02-100-C.
The Neural Navigator combines MRI-based, 3-D localization of cortical motor areas of the brain with non-invasive TMS and simultaneous EMG measurement to locate areas of the brain that are capable of evoking muscle responses when stimulated, and to locate the target area for depression therapy. The Neural Navigator software is used to import a patient's MR image slices through standard DICOM communication protocols, and automatically generates an accurate 3-D model of the patient's head, and a custom automatic tissue segmentation routine to reveal anatomical structures of the brain surface in 3D.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Neural Navigator device. While it asserts substantial equivalence based on performance testing, it does not explicitly define "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative table with specific thresholds as would be typical for a detailed study report. However, it implicitly presents performance metrics and their comparison to predicate devices, which serve as the basis for acceptance.
Here's an attempt to extract and rephrase the information to fit the requested format, acknowledging the limitations of the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not present explicit acceptance criteria with defined pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it compares the Neural Navigator's performance to its predicate devices, implying that performance comparable to or better than the predicate is considered acceptable.
| Parameter | Implicit Acceptance Criterion (Compared to Predicate) | Reported Neural Navigator Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking System Accuracy | <= 1.6 mm (mean error in localization of the tool) | 1.4 mm RMS, 0.5 degrees RMS (accuracy of localization of tool). "Static accuracy better than or equal to 1.4 mm" |
| System Accuracy | <= 5.73 mm (mean) | Simulations confirm navigation accuracy of 4.55 mm with 4 markers, and below 3.5 mm with 6 markers. Clinical study observed accuracy of 4.74 mm for both coil orientations. |
| Coil Compatibility | Comparable to predicate device's compatibility | Clamp tightly wraps around TMS coil handle, holds sensor in socket within 0.1 mm tolerance, material is Polyoxymethylene (POM). Verified through material specs and dimensions, and validated in clinical study. "The predicate devices are similarly compatible to Nexstim branded coils." |
| Navigation Principle | Same as predicate (Anatomy & calibrated EF) | "Tests confirm navigation based on MRI and navigation based on EF maximum." "The navigation principle of predicate devices is also based on anatomy and calibrated EF." |
| Product Safety Standards | Compliance with relevant IEC and ISO standards | Compliant Test Reports for IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 80002-1, IEC 62366, IEC 62304, ISO 14971. "The predicate device is compliant to the same safety standards." |
| Imaging Modality | MR Based | "The imaging modality is also MR based in predicate devices." |
| Selection of Targets | Same as predicate (Anatomical & functional landmarks) | "The same is also used in predicate devices." |
2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Clinical Study for Coil Compatibility Validation and System Accuracy: 10 healthy volunteers.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the clinical study data or if it was retrospective or prospective. Given it is a 510(k) submission, it is likely prospective testing specifically for this submission.
- Monte Carlo Simulations: 10,000 runs for both mapping algorithm and ensuing navigation. The provenance for this is computational simulation.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The document does not explicitly state the number of experts used or their specific qualifications for establishing ground truth. The clinical study involved "MEP mapping," which typically involves expert neurophysiology interpretation. However, details on the adjudicators or their qualifications are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the clinical test set. The ground truth seems to be implicitly derived from the MEP mapping procedure itself, which is a physiological measurement, rather than subjective interpretation requiring multiple readings.
5. Was a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Done?
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study with human readers assisting AI versus without AI assistance was not performed or reported. This device is a neuronavigation system for coil placement, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging tool where such a study would typically be conducted. The study is focused on the accuracy of the navigation system itself.
6. Was a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study Done?
Yes, the document reports on elements of standalone performance:
- Tracking System Accuracy: Tested independently by NDI (the tracking system manufacturer).
- System Accuracy (simulations): 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations were run, representing an algorithm-only evaluation of accuracy under various noise conditions.
- Clinical Study: While it involves humans (volunteers), the focus is on the accuracy of the device's navigation in placing the TMS coil, which is a direct measure of the algorithm's performance in guiding coil placement, rather than human interpretation aided by the algorithm. The "human-in-the-loop" is the operator using the device, but the performance metric is the device's ability to accurately guide.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- System Accuracy (Clinical Study): The ground truth for the clinical study measuring system accuracy via MEP mapping is based on a physiological response (Motor Evoked Potentials - MEPs). The assumption is that successful MEPs indicate accurate targeting of the motor cortex.
- Tracking System Accuracy: Ground truth is established by the independent testing of the tracking system by its manufacturer, likely using known spatial measurements.
- System Accuracy (Simulations): Ground truth is an ideal or expected outcome defined within the simulation model.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not provide any information regarding a training set size or methodology. This type of device, which is based on established physics and medical imaging principles (e.g., MRI-based 3D localization, tissue segmentation), may not involve a "training set" in the sense of a machine learning model where data is used to optimize algorithms. The algorithms are likely engineered based on physiological and anatomical models.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no "training set" is mentioned for a machine learning context, the method for establishing its ground truth is not applicable or described in the provided text. The foundational principles and calibrations for the device's operations (e.g., MRI space to patient space registration, calibrated electric field maximum) are inherent to its design and validated through the performance tests mentioned above.
