    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the InnoClip™ Disposable Clip Applier and InnoClip™ Clip Applier devices. It describes the device, its intended use, and provides a summary of performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Here's an analysis of the requested information based on the provided text:

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

    The document does not explicitly present acceptance criteria in a table format with specific quantitative thresholds. Instead, it describes performance testing and generally states that the devices "met all acceptance criteria" or "have similar device performance compared to the predicate."

    Here's a summary derived from the text:

    Test/Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied/General)Reported Device Performance
    In-vitro Tests

    BiocompatibilityMeet ISO 10993-1 and FDA GuidanceAll biocompatibility met the acceptance criteria.

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

    • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of devices, number of clips tested, number of animals) used for any of the performance tests. It mentions performing "in-vitro tests" and "in-vivo ligation tests" but lacks quantitative details on sample size.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It is a submission by "Taiwan Surgical Corporation" but this does not confirm the location of the studies.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    This information is not provided in the document. The tests described (e.g., pull-out force, air leakage, in-vivo ligation) are largely objective performance tests of the device itself rather than assessments requiring human expert interpretation for ground truth.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the context of this device. The tests are focused on mechanical and functional performance, not diagnostic interpretations requiring adjudication.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. This device is a surgical clip applier, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so MRMC studies are not relevant.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. This is a mechanical surgical device and does not involve an algorithm.

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

    The concept of "ground truth" as typically defined for AI or diagnostic devices (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes) is not directly applicable to the performance testing described for this mechanical surgical device. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the objective measurement results (e.g., actual pull-out force, actual air leakage rate, observable successful ligation in a animal model) as measured by laboratory equipment and veterinary observation, compared against pre-defined performance acceptance thresholds or predicate device performance.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. This is a mechanical surgical device and does not use a training set as would an AI/machine learning model.

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

    This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. This is a mechanical surgical device and does not use a training set.

    AI/ML Overview

    This device is a surgical CLIP PLUS Disposable Clip Applier, ML and L models, used in endoscopic procedures for ligating vessels and tubular structures. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA, approving the device for marketing.

    Here’s an analysis based on the provided document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" but rather presents a comparison of the subject device's performance against a predicate device. The performance data is presented as a comparison, implying that the subject device's results needed to be comparable or equivalent to the predicate.

    Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied: Comparable to Predicate)Reported Device Performance (CLIP PLUS)Predicate Device Performance (MICROLINE PENTAX, K013695)
    Clip FormationAll clips properly formedAll clips properly formed"Pass" (Implied: properly formed)
    Clip Gap MeasurementNo significant difference from predicate$0.215 \pm 0.024$ mm$0.223 \pm 0.005$ mm

    Parallel Clip PullSimilar to predicate (not easily sliding)$627 \pm 41$ g$622 \pm 52$ g
    Airtight CapabilityNo air leakage (15 to 30 PSI)No air leakage (silicone tube 3.0 & 2.0 mm O.D. at 15-30 PSI)"Pass" (Implied: no air leakage)
    BiocompatibilityMeet ISO 10993 requirementsPassed ISO 10993 tests(Standard materials, thoroughly tested in the past)
    Sterilization (Gamma)Meet ISO 11137-2:2012 VD max25 method for SAL of 10^-6Successful, met ISO 11137-2:2012 VD max25 for SAL of 10^-6(Not explicitly stated for predicate in this context)

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify the exact sample size for the performance tests (clip formation, clip gap, pull tests, airtight capability). It refers to "the clips" and "tested clips" without providing numbers.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data. However, the submitter is "TAIWAN SURGICAL CORPORATION" located in Hsinchu County, Taiwan, suggesting the testing likely occurred in Taiwan. The study appears to be retrospective in the sense that it's a bench test comparison against an existing predicate, not a prospective clinical trial.

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

    This section is not applicable as the document describes a medical device (clip applier) and its mechanical and material performance, not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic device requiring expert ground truth for interpretation. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on objective physical measurements and established international standards (e.g., ISO 10993, ISO 11137-2).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for this type of device and performance testing. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for assessing disagreements among human readers or experts in diagnostic studies, which is not the case here.

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

    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance for diagnostic tasks, which is not applicable to a surgical clip applier.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (a clip applier), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for the performance evaluation includes:

    • Objective Measurements: For clip gap, perpendicular clip pull, and parallel clip pull, the "ground truth" is the measured physical property of the clips and their strength.
    • Pass/Fail Criteria based on expectations/standards: For clip formation and airtight capability, the "ground truth" is a binary outcome (Pass/Fail) based on whether the clips functioned as intended and prevented air leakage.
    • International Standards: For biocompatibility (ISO 10993) and sterilization (ISO 11137-2), the "ground truth" is compliance with these recognized international standards.
    • Predicate Device Performance: The primary comparison for "ground truth" or acceptable performance is explicitly stated as the performance of the legally marketed predicate device (MICROLINE PENTAX, K013695).

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set." Its design and performance are based on engineering principles, material science, and mechanical testing.

    9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, the concept of establishing ground truth for a training set is not relevant.

The instrument adapter is adjustable to allow a variety of instruments and diameters. It is a single use, disposable device and is sold sterile.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the "Disposable Suction Irrigation" device by Taiwan Surgical Corporation. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing a detailed study that proves specific acceptance criteria for a novel device. Therefore, a direct mapping to all requested points is not fully possible as the nature of the submission is different from a typical de novo study evaluating a new device's performance against predefined metrics.

    However, based on the information provided, I can extract and infer some details:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The acceptance criteria are implied by the comparison to the predicate device and relevant standards. The "performance" here refers to the device meeting these criteria, often by being "same" as the predicate or passing specific tests.

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implied/Stated)Reported Device Performance
    Design/SpecificationDesign DescriptionSame as Predicate device
    Length of steel tube (350mm/470mm)Matches Predicate (350mm/470mm), but elsewhere stated as 330mm/450mm for subject device, implying a range is acceptable.
    OD of steel tube (5mm)Same as Predicate
    PVC soft tube (2900mm)Same as Predicate
    Functional PerformanceAnti-vacuity testPassed. "TWSC is the best; the second is Unimax." (Implies better than predicate)
    Anti-flat tube testPassed. "No flat tube situation under 400-760 mmHg suction pressure."
    Handle button pressure testPassed. "The capability is correspond with product specification." (Implies meeting spec despite being "worse" than something unstated)
    BiocompatibilityCytotoxicity TestPassed (following ISO 10993)
    Intracutaneous testPassed (following ISO 10993)
    Maximization sensitization testPassed (following ISO 10993)
    Pyrogen testPassed (following ISO 10993)
    SterilizationSterilization Dose (25kGy)Passed, met ISO 11137-2:2012 VD max25 for SAL of 10-9
    Safety and EffectivenessSame intended use as predicateSame as Predicate
    Same basic technology as predicateSame as Predicate
    Achieves same effectivenessConcluded to achieve same effectiveness as predicate
    Achieves same safetyConcluded to achieve same safety as predicate

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

    The document does not explicitly state sample sizes for tests. It details "bench report" findings, meaning the testing was likely conducted in a lab setting. The provenance of the data is from Taiwan Surgical Corporation's internal testing as part of their 510(k) submission. The type of data is prospective as it involves tests specifically conducted for this submission, not retrospective analysis of past data.

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

    This information is not provided. For a device like this, the "ground truth" often relates to meeting engineering specifications or established biological safety standards, which are typically assessed by qualified technicians or engineers, rather than clinical experts like radiologists for image-based diagnostics.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided. Adjudication methods are typically relevant for clinical studies where expert consensus is needed to resolve discrepancies, which does not appear to be the primary focus of this type of submission.

    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 diagnostic devices that involve human interpretation of medical images or data. The "Disposable Suction Irrigation" is a surgical tool, and its effectiveness is determined by its functional performance and safety, not by human reader interpretation.

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

    This question is not applicable as the device is a physical surgical tool and not an algorithm or AI.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is primarily based on:

    • Engineering Specifications: Meeting predefined physical dimensions, pressure tolerances, and functional requirements.
    • Established Standards: Adherence to international standards like ISO 10993 for biocompatibility and ISO 11137-2:2012 for sterilization.
    • Predicate Device Comparison: The predicate device (UNIMAX MEDICAL SYSTEM INC., K103509) serves as a benchmark for comparison, implying its established safety and effectiveness forms part of the "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train AI models. This device is a physical product, not an AI/software device.

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

    This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
