The provided FDA clearance letter for Terumo's Hypodermic Needle (K243309) does not describe a study involving acceptance criteria for device performance in the context of an AI/ML or diagnostic imaging device. Instead, this document is a 510(k) submission for a medical device (a hypodermic needle) that demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this document refer to performance verification tests for a physical medical device (hypodermic needle), rather than the kind of AI/ML or diagnostic performance evaluation described in the prompt's request.
Therefore, the requested information (table of acceptance criteria and device performance for AI/ML, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, etc.) is not applicable to this document.
The document primarily focuses on:
- Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrating that the new needle is as safe and effective as a previously cleared predicate device, despite a minor change (increased inner diameter/thin wall vs. regular wall).
- Non-Clinical Testing: Citing compliance with various ISO standards for hypodermic needles, biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf-life, which are the "acceptance criteria" for this type of device.
- No Clinical Testing: Explicitly stating that clinical test data was not included because the changes were supported by non-clinical performance verification.
If this were an AI/ML or diagnostic device, the document would contain sections detailing sensitivity, specificity, AUC, human reader studies, etc., none of which are present here.

The Surflo Winged Infusion Set with Filter and Needle Protection (Surshield) is intended to access the peripheral vascular system, for single-dose or short-term intravenous administration of fluids using a syringe or other compatible/appropriate devices. Additionally, after withdrawal of the needle from the patient's vein, the shield cover can be manually activated to cover the needle to minimize risk of accidental needle stick.
The 23G and the 25G Terumo Surflo Winged Infusion Sets with Filter and Needle Protection (Surshield), are sterile, single use devices consisting of a needle attached to a winged hub, microbore tubing, adapter with integrated 20 um filter and adapter cap, and a hinged shield cover that attaches to the wing just below the needle-to-wing junction. The shield cover can be turned 180 degrees on the hinge. As the needle is removed from the patient's vessel, the user's finger actively pushes the shield cover until it latches onto the needle using a one- or two- handed technique. An audible click is noted upon activation. The shield cover is designed to allow the user's finger to remain behind the needle point so that the risk of needle stick injury is minimized. The shield cover is transparent for easy confirmation of the needle held in it. The device possesses a 350 mm length microbore tubing.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and a summary of verification activities for the SURFLO® Winged Infusion Set with Filter and Needle Protection (Surshield®).
