    Intended Use

    The SteadiSet infusion set is indicated for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin administered by an external pump. The infusion set is indicated for single use.

    Device Description

    The subject device, SteadiSet infusion set, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, intravascular administration set device used to administer insulin from a reservoir cartridge to a patient subcutaneously through a cannula. The infusion set administers insulin by means of a compatible external pump.

    The infusion set consists of an inserter, tube set, and disconnect cover. The inserter consists of a housing, insertion buttons, an infusion set hub (with cannula) and adhesive patch with protective liner. The inserter facilitates insertion of the cannula subcutaneously. The cannula is a soft medical-grade polymer extruded over a stainless-steel coil.

    The tube set provides the insulin pathway between the hub's indwelling cannula and an external insulin pump cartridge. The tube set consists of infusion set tubing with a reservoir connector (proximal end) and hub connector (distal end).

    The disconnect cover can be connected to the hub to provide cover when the infusion set tubing is disconnected from the hub.

    The device is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (ETO) and is a single-patient, single-use device.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to a medical device, the SteadiSet infusion set, not an AI or software as a medical device (SaMD). Therefore, many of the requested elements for AI/SaMD studies (such as sample sizes for test/training sets, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types) are not applicable or not found within this type of documentation for a physical infusion set.

    However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the clinical trial conducted for the device.


    Acceptance Criteria and Study for SteadiSet Infusion Set

    Based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the SteadiSet infusion set, the "acceptance criteria" are not explicitly defined as specific numerical thresholds for performance metrics (such as sensitivity or specificity) in the way they would be for an AI model. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the overall demonstration of safety and effectiveness as required for substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    The study that proves the device meets (these implied) acceptance criteria is a clinical study.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Performance Characteristic/Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (from Clinical Study)
    Safe for a maximum of 7 days of useNo device-related serious adverse events reported.
    Effective for a maximum of 7 days of useDemonstrated effectiveness for insulin infusion for a maximum of 7 days of use.
    Substantially Equivalent to Predicate Device (K242692)Concluded to be substantially equivalent (SE) to the predicate device, despite some technological differences, as these differences "do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness."

    2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set (Clinical Study)

    • Sample Size: A total of 260 subjects were enrolled.
    • Data Provenance: The clinical study was conducted in the US at 15 investigational centers. This indicates prospective, real-world data collection in a clinical setting.

    3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

    • Not Applicable. For a physical medical device like an infusion set, "ground truth" is typically established through direct clinical observation of patient outcomes (safety and effectiveness) rather than expert consensus on diagnostic images or data. The assessment of safety and effectiveness would have been based on clinical endpoints and observed adverse events, which are measured directly.

    4. Adjudication Method for Test Set

    • Not Applicable. Clinical trial outcomes (adverse events, device function) are typically evaluated by the investigational site staff and potentially reviewed by a clinical events committee, but the concept of "adjudication method" as applied to expert consensus for AI ground truth does not directly apply here.

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

    • No. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI, comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance. It is not applicable to a physical infusion set.

    6. Standalone Performance Study

    • No, not in the context of an algorithm. The clinical study did evaluate the standalone performance of the device (the infusion set itself) in 260 subjects. However, this definition of standalone performance does not refer to an algorithm without human-in-the-loop, as the device is a physical product directly interacting with the patient.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Clinical Outcomes Data: The ground truth was established by direct observation of clinical outcomes, specifically the absence of device-related serious adverse events and the demonstration of effective insulin infusion over the study period (maximum of 7 days).

    8. Sample Size for Training Set

    • Not Applicable. This device is a physical product, not an AI model requiring a training set.

    9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established

    • Not Applicable. As there is no AI model or training set, this question is not relevant.

    Intended Use

    Control-IQ+ technology is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM) and alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values. It can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold.

    Control-IQ+ technology is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 2 years of age and greater and of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in persons 18 years of age and greater.

    Control-IQ+ technology is intended for single patient use and requires a prescription.

    Device Description

    The Subject Device, Control-IQ+ technology ("Control-IQ+") is a software-only device intended for the management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The device controls insulin delivery from a compatible alternate controller enabled insulin pump (ACE pump) based on inputs provided by a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) and inputs provided by the user (e.g., carbohydrate intake, exercise, and sleep schedule). Control-IQ+ technology is meant to be installed on a compatible ACE pump.

    Control-IQ+ technology has three different modes: Normal, Sleep, and Exercise. The glucose targets are not individually customizable in these modes but can change based on the mode selected. During Normal mode, Control-IQ+ technology aims to control glucose within a target range of 112.5 – 160 mg/dL, during Sleep mode the target range is 112.5 – 120 mg/dL, and during Exercise mode the target range is 140 – 160 mg/dL.

    Control-IQ+ technology includes an integrated feature whereby iCGM values are automatically populated into the glucose field of the integrated bolus calculator when Control-IQ+ technology is active (i.e., the device is operating in closed-loop mode). This feature is disabled when Control-IQ is turned off.

    Control-IQ+ technology requires users to input their weight and their total daily insulin requirement, which should be established with the help of a health care provider before using the device.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) clearance letter describes the acceptance criteria and study for the Control-IQ+ technology, an interoperable automated glycemic controller.

    It's important to note that this device is a software-only device (Control-IQ+ technology), and the primary change described in this 510(k) is the addition of a new compatible insulin (Lyumjev U-100 Insulin) for use with the existing Control-IQ technology. The clearance relies heavily on the substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K243823, Control-IQ+ technology) and a clinical study demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the new compatible insulin with the existing Control-IQ system.

    Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study proving device performance:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly present a "table of acceptance criteria" for the Control-IQ+ technology's performance in terms of glucose control metrics (e.g., time in range, hypoglycemia rates) for this specific 510(k) submission. Instead, the "acceptance" for this submission appears to be based on demonstrating non-inferiority or better safety when using the new insulin (Lyumjev) with the already cleared Control-IQ system, compared to established benchmarks.

    The primary "performance" mentioned is related to safety, specifically the rates of severe hypoglycemia and DKA.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (with Lyumjev)
    Frequency of severe hypoglycemia comparable to or lower than T1D Exchange clinic registry dataRates of severe hypoglycemia were lower than in the T1D Exchange clinic registry data.
    Frequency of DKA events comparable to or lower than T1D Exchange clinic registry dataRates of DKA were lower than in the T1D Exchange clinic registry data.
    Well-tolerated with few adverse effectsThe use of Lyumjev with t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology was well tolerated with few adverse effects.
    No increase in hypoglycemiaNo increase in hypoglycemia observed.
    Statistical comparison meeting prespecified success criteriaThe statistical comparison met the prespecified success criteria.

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

    • Sample Size: 179 participants with type 1 diabetes.
      • 70 adults (18-75 years old)
      • 109 pediatric participants (6-17 years old)
    • Data Provenance: The study was a "single-arm prospective safety trial." While the exact country of origin isn't specified, FDA clearances typically involve studies conducted in the US or under protocols recognized by the FDA. The T1D Exchange clinic registry is a US-based registry, suggesting a likely US context for the study.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Prospective. The study involved an initial (~16-day) Humalog Lead-in Period and a subsequent (13-week) Lyumjev Treatment Period.

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

    This type of device (automated glycemic controller) does not typically involve expert review for "ground truth" in the same way an imaging or diagnostic AI might. The "ground truth" for glucose control is direct physiological measurements (iCGM readings) and clinical outcomes (hypoglycemia, DKA). Therefore, specific numbers or qualifications of experts for establishing ground truth are not applicable in this context. The study design itself serves to establish the performance and safety against clinical outcomes.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies involving subjective expert interpretation of data (e.g., radiologists reviewing images). For a system controlling insulin delivery based on CGM data, adjudication of such a type is not applicable. Clinical events (severe hypoglycemia, DKA) are typically adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee or medical monitors based on predefined criteria, but the document does not specify this level of detail.

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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done.
    MRMC studies are relevant for diagnostic aids where human readers interpret data (e.g., images) with and without AI assistance to measure improvement in reader performance. Control-IQ+ technology directly controls insulin delivery; it is not an assistive diagnostic tool for human interpretation.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance)

    The device is an "Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controller," meaning it operates to "automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values." It also delivers "correction boluses." This indicates that the core function is standalone (algorithm-only) in its closed-loop operation. While users can input data (carbohydrate intake, exercise, sleep schedule) and the device is intended for "single patient use" with a "prescription," the control logic itself functions automatically without continuous human intervention in real-time decision-making for insulin delivery adjustment. The study evaluates the system performance which includes this automated functionality.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used for this study was primarily:

    • Physiological data: iCGM readings for glucose values.
    • Clinical Outcomes Data: Rates of severe hypoglycemia and DKA events. These were compared against "reported frequencies from the T1D Exchange clinic registry" as a benchmark for safety.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not provide information regarding the sample size used for the training set of the Control-IQ+ technology. This 510(k) is for a modification (new compatible insulin) to an already cleared device, implying the core algorithm was trained and validated previously.

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

    The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set of the original Control-IQ algorithm was established. Given the nature of an automated glycemic controller, it would typically involve extensive simulations, in-silico testing, and potentially prior clinical trials where continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, insulin delivery data, and corresponding blood glucose measurements were collected and used to train and validate the control algorithms. However, this specific 510(k) submission focuses on the safety and effectiveness of a new component (Lyumjev insulin) with the existing system rather than the initial foundational algorithm development.

It can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold.

    Control-IQ+ technology is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 2 years of age and greater and of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in persons 18 years of age and greater.

    Control-IQ+ technology is intended for single patient use and requires a prescription.

    Device Description

    Control-IQ+ technology (Control-IQ+, the device) is a software-only device intended for the management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The device controls insulin delivery from a compatible alternate controller enabled insulin pump (ACE pump) based on inputs provided by a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) and inputs provided by the user (e.g., carbohydrate intake, exercise, and sleep schedule). Control-IQ+ technology is meant to be installed on a compatible ACE pump.

    Control-IQ+ technology has three different modes: Normal, Sleep, and Exercise. The glucose targets are not individually customizable in these modes but can change based on the mode selected. During normal mode, Control-IQ+ technology aims to control glucose within a target range of 112.5 - 160 mg/dL. During sleep mode, this range is changed to 112.5-120 mg/dL. and it is changed to 140-160 mg/dL during exercise mode.

    Control-IQ+ technology includes an integrated feature whereby iCGM values are automatically populated into the glucose field of the integrated bolus calculator when Control-IQ + technology is active (i.e., the device is operating in closed-loop mode). This feature is disabled when Control-IQ is turned off.

    Control-IQ+ technology requires users to input their weight and their total daily insulin requirement, which should be established with the help of a health care provider before using the device.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract information about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, presented in the requested format.

    It's important to note that the provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter and a 510(k) summary. These documents primarily focus on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing a detailed technical breakdown of novel acceptance criteria for algorithm performance in the same way one might expect for a new AI/ML device where performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) are the primary basis of clearance.

    For Control-IQ+ technology, the key change is the expansion of the intended use to include Type 2 diabetes patients, supported by a pivotal clinical study. The algorithm itself is stated to be "unchanged," implying that its core performance characteristics (e.g., glucose control targets, basal rate adjustments) are those already established for Type 1 diabetes with the predicate device. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here largely pertain to the clinical safety and effectiveness in the new population, rather than the internal algorithmic performance metrics.


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for Control-IQ+ Technology

    Given that the device is a refined version of an already cleared product ("Control-IQ technology" K232382) and the core algorithm is "unchanged," the acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission (K243823) are primarily focused on demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of expanding its indications to include Type 2 diabetes patients. The primary evidence for this is a clinical study.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As this is a 510(k) focusing on an expanded user population for an existing algorithm rather than a de novo submission for a novel AI algorithm with specific performance cutoffs, the acceptance criteria are framed in terms of clinical outcomes rather than typical AI performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly Derived from Study Goal)Reported Device Performance (Result of Pivotal Clinical Study)
    Primary Outcome: Safety and Effectiveness in Type 2 Diabetes Adults, measured by change in HbA1C. The goal is to show a significant improvement in HbA1C for the Control-IQ+ arm compared to the control arm.Significant improvement in change in HbA1C (specific magnitude not detailed in this document, but implied to be sufficient for a "safe and effective" claim). Control-IQ+ technology was shown to be "safe and effective in patients with Type 2 diabetes."
    Usability/Human Factors for the new Type 2 diabetes population.The Summative Human Factors validation "ensured individuals can safely and effectively perform critical tasks associated with the use of Control-IQ+ technology."
    Continued adherence to Special Controls of the Predicate Device."Evaluation and adherence to the Special Controls of the Predicate Device (K232382) demonstrates continued assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the Subject Device."

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

    • Test Set (Clinical Study):
      • Sample Size: 319 subjects
      • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin), but implies a multi-site prospective clinical trial. The study was a "randomized controlled trial."
      • Retrospective/Prospective: Prospective

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

    This information is not provided in the document. For a clinical trial of an automated glycemic controller, the "ground truth" for evaluating effectiveness is typically objective clinical measurements (e.g., HbA1C tests, CGM data, adverse events) rather than expert consensus on diagnostic images. Clinical outcomes are inherently the "ground truth." Expert physicians would design the trial, manage patients, and interpret results, but they aren't establishing a "ground truth" per se in the way radiologists might do for disease detection.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided. For a randomized controlled trial measuring objective metrics like HbA1C, formal adjudication in the sense of a diagnostic agreement (e.g., 2+1 radiology consensus) is generally not applicable, as the outcomes are quantitative and measured directly.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

    • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI, where human readers (e.g., radiologists) interpret images with or without AI assistance.
    • Effect Size of Human Improvement with AI: Not applicable, as this device is an automated glycemic controller, not an AI assisting human interpretation of medical images. The clinical study compares the device's performance directly against a control group (CGM with continued insulin injections), rather than evaluating human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

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

    • The "Clinical Testing" section describes a pivotal clinical study where Control-IQ+ technology's performance (an automated insulin delivery system) was evaluated in patients. While it's implied that the system operates autonomously based on CGM inputs and user settings, the study measures the system's performance in a real-world setting with human users interacting with the device, not a purely standalone algorithmic evaluation in a simulated environment. The study is effectively evaluating the device's performance as intended for clinical use.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The primary ground truth for the clinical study was outcomes data, specifically the change in HbA1C (Glycated Hemoglobin), which is a key clinical endpoint for diabetes management. Other clinical measures from the iCGM (e.g., glucose values, time in range) and safety outcomes would also serve as ground truth for evaluating the device's performance.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • This information is not provided in the document. The document states that "The design of the Control-IQ+ algorithm is unchanged" from its predicate. This implies that the training of the core algorithm was done prior to the predicate device's clearance and is not being re-evaluated for this submission. The 510(k) is primarily about demonstrating safety and effectiveness in the expanded user population, not re-training or re-validating the core algorithm's initial development.

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

    • This information is not provided as the algorithm itself is stated to be unchanged from the predicate device. Details about the original algorithm's development, including its training data and how its ground truth was established, would have been part of the predicate device's (K232382) submission.

    Intended Use

    The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology (the pump) is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. The pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, to receive, and confirm commands from these devices.

    The pump is intended for single patient, home use and requires a prescription.

    The pump is indicated for use in individuals 2 years of age and greater.

    Device Description

    The Subject Device, Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology ("Mobi pump", "the pump"), is an Alternate Controller Enabled (ACE) Infusion Pump intended for the infusion of insulin into a patient requiring insulin therapy. The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology ("pump") is screenless and includes visual LED, sound, and vibratory indicators to alert the user of the pump status. The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology system also includes: the Tandem Mobi Mobile Application and a 2mL (200 insulin unit) Tandem Mobi cartridge and a compatible FDA cleared infusion set. The Tandem Mobi Mobile Application ("Mobile app") displays all information from, and is the primary controller of, the pump. Through the Mobile app, users will program all aspects of basal and bolus insulin delivery therapy including managing personal profiles, viewing pump and CGM data, and actively acknowledging all pump and mobile app alerts, alarms, reminders, notifications, and messages. The Tandem Mobi Mobile Application will also be used to transmit historical pump and mobile app therapy data to the Tandem Cloud. The Tandem Mobi Mobile Application will be made available via the Apple® App Store for iOS compatible smartphones based on completed device verification and validation. The Tandem Mobi cartridge is a disposable insulin cartridge compatible only with the Tandem Mobi pump.

    The Tandem Mobi ACE pump can be used for basal and bolus insulin delivery with or without a CGM or with any compatible interoperable automated dosing algorithm.

    The pump may be used in combination with a compatible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system. Use of CGM is optional.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology, submitted to the FDA. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K233044).

    Based on the provided text, the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets them pertain to a diabetes management system (insulin pump), not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or image-analysis device. Therefore, many of the requested points regarding AI/ML study design (e.g., ground truth establishment for a test set, expert consensus, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of medical device submission.

    The document discusses "Clinical Testing" but states that the same testing provided in a previous 510(k) (K232380) was used. This implies that the current submission (K240309) is not presenting a new, dedicated clinical study for its substantial equivalence claim, but rather leveraging prior clinical data from a related submission.

    However, I can extract the relevant information from the provided text based on the nature of this device type and the 510(k) submission process.

    Here's an analysis based on the document:

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

    The document doesn't present a table of specific acceptance criteria in the traditional sense of numerical thresholds for algorithm performance (like sensitivity/specificity for AI). Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K233044). The "performance" is implicitly deemed acceptable if it performs the same function and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate.

    The key changes and comparisons are:

    Feature/CharacteristicPredicate Device (K233044)Subject Device (Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology)Performance/Conclusion

    The overall "performance" is that the Subject Device "serves the same function as the Predicate Device" and "performs insulin therapy functions that are the same as that of the Predicate Device." The key performance difference identified is the expanded age indication from 6 years of age and greater to 2 years of age and greater.

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

    • Sample Size: Not specified in terms of a "test set" for performance evaluation of an algorithm. The filing mentions "Clinical Testing was provided to support this 510(k) Notification. The clinical testing provided was the same testing provided in 510(k) K232380." The details of sample size for that K232380 study are not in this document.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified in this document (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This information would be found in the K232380 submission.

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

    Not applicable to this type of device and submission. Ground truth for an insulin pump's functionality is typically established through engineering bench testing, simulated use, and clinical trials (for safety and efficacy in delivering insulin and managing blood glucose), rather than expert radiological review.

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

    Not applicable.

    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 not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm. The device is an insulin pump that works with compatible interoperable technology, including automated insulin dosing software, but details on the performance validation of that software's algorithm are outside the scope of this specific 510(k) summary for the pump itself.

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

    For an insulin pump, "ground truth" would relate to its ability to accurately and safely deliver insulin, receive and execute commands, and remain connected. This would be established through:

    • Engineering specifications and bench testing (e.g., infusion accuracy, flow rates, alarm functionality).
    • Software verification and validation (for reliable communication and command execution).
    • Clinical data (likely outcomes data relating to glycemic control, safety, and adverse events if a study was performed in support of K232380).
    • Usability/Human Factors testing (ensuring safe and effective interaction for the user).

    The document states: "Appropriate testing was performed to confirm the Subject Device met specified requirements and performed as intended." This testing included:

    • Usability/Human Factors (comparative Use Related Risk Analysis only, no new testing)
    • Software Verification and Validation (no new testing)
    • Electrical Safety/EMC (no new testing)
    • Insulin Compatibility and Biocompatibility (no new testing)
    • Sterilization and Shipping (no new testing)
    • Special Controls (adherence confirmed)
    • Clinical Testing (same as K232380)

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that uses training sets in this context.

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

    Not applicable.

    Intended Use

    The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology (the pump) is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes melliting insulin. The Pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, to receive, execute, and confirm commands from these devices. The pump is intended for single patient, home use and requires a prescription. The Pump is indicated for use in individuals 2 years of age and greater.

    Device Description

    The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology is an ambulatory, battery operated, rate-programmable infusion pump designed for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin.

    The t:slim X2 insulin pump includes a disposable cartridge with a 300 unit reservoir which is filled with insulin by the user with the use of the syringe and needle. The cartridge needs to be changed every 48-72 hours depending on the type of insulin used.

    The pump is motor driven to deliver patient programmed basal rates and boluses through an infusion set into subcutaneous tissue. The desired timing and quantity of insulin delivery (bolus or basal) is programmed by the patient based on their healthcare provider's recommendations.

    The pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, execute, and confirm commands from these devices.

    The t:connect mobile app enables a user to connect a smartphone to the pump using Bluetooth® wireless technology to display pump information and perform some pump functions on the smartphone as well as display pump notifications. The t:connect mobile app can transmit pump and therapy data from the pump to the cloud as long as the user's smartphone is connected to the internet.

    The pump is designed to be able to receive and display alerts and alarms to users based on information received from other interoperable devices.

    The pump is compatible with Interoperable Automated Glycemic Controllers, such as Basal-IQ Technology (K193483) and Control IQ Technology (K200467) to aid in diabetes management. The latter is being submitted concurrently.

    In addition, the Subject Device is compatible with iCGM systems cleared under K223931 21 CFR 862.1355.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the Tandem Diabetes Care t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology (K232380). This submission focuses on a change to the age indication for the device, lowering it to individuals 2 years of age and greater.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly present a table of specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy percentages, specific error rates) for the device's performance in relation to the expanded age indication. Instead, it makes a general statement about safety and effectiveness.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Continued assurance of safety and effectiveness for expanded age indication (2 years and greater)Clinical data demonstrates continued assurance of safety and effectiveness for the expanded age indication.
    Adherence to Special Controls listed in 21 CFR 880.5730Evaluation and adherence to Special Controls ensures continued assurance of safety and effectiveness.
    Substantial equivalence to predicate device in safety and effectiveness for the expanded age indicationClinical testing demonstrated that the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology is the same as the predicate device in safety and effectiveness for the 2-5 year-old population.

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

    The document mentions "clinical testing was performed to support the expanded age indication" and "the clinical testing provided in this 510(k) demonstrate that the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology is the same as the predicate device in safety and effectiveness."

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated as retrospective or prospective, nor the country of origin. However, the nature of "clinical testing" for an expanded age indication typically implies a prospective clinical study involving the new patient population.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The text does not describe a process of expert review or establishing ground truth in the context of the clinical testing.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided in the document.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The study described is a clinical evaluation of the device itself rather than a comparison of human readers with and without AI assistance.

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

    The device is an insulin pump, which is a physical medical device that delivers insulin. While it has interoperable technology and can communicate with automated insulin dosing software, the "performance data" mentioned pertains to the overall device in a clinical setting with human interaction (patient programming, healthcare provider recommendations). Therefore, a "standalone algorithm only" performance study as typically understood for AI/CAD devices is not directly applicable or explicitly described in this context. The focus is on the device's safety and effectiveness for insulin delivery in the expanded age group.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for the clinical testing would be the actual physiological responses and outcomes of the pediatric patients using the insulin pump, as assessed by healthcare professionals. This would include parameters like blood glucose levels, incidence of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia, and adverse events. The document refers to "safety and effectiveness," which points to clinical outcomes.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document describes a clinical study to support an expanded age indication for an existing device. This implies that the device's core algorithm and functionality were developed and "trained" (in a non-AI sense, meaning designed and validated) prior to this specific submission. The text does not provide information regarding a training set for an AI/algorithm, as this submission is not about the initial development or a new AI component. If the "interoperable technology" involves AI, the training data for that specific AI component is not detailed here.

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

    Given that this submission is for an expanded age indication of an existing device, and not a new AI model, the concept of a "training set" and its ground truth establishment, as typically understood for AI/ML, is not applicable or described in this document. The device's fundamental insulin delivery mechanism and safety profile would have been established through prior design, testing, and regulatory submissions. The current clinical testing validates the device's safety and effectiveness for a younger population.

    Intended Use

    Control-IQ technology is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM) and alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values. It can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold.

    Control-IQ technology is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 2 years of age and greater.

    Control IQ technology is intended for single patient use and requires a prescription.

    Device Description

    Control-IQ technology (Control-IQ, the device) is a software-only device intended for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The device controls insulin delivery from a compatible alternate controller enabled insulin pump (ACE pump) based on inputs provided by a compatible integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) and inputs provided the user (e.g., carbohydrate intake, exercise, and sleep schedule). Control-IQ technology is meant to be installed on a compatible ACE pump.

    Control-IQ Technology has three different modes: Normal, Sleep, and Exercise. The glucose targets are not customizable in these modes but can change based on the mode selected. During normal mode, Control-IQ Technology aims to control glucose within a target range of 112.5 – 160 mg/dL. During sleep mode, this range is changed to 112.5-120 mg/dL, and it is changed to 140-160 mg/dL during exercise mode.

    Control-IQ technology includes an integrated feature whereby iCGM values are automatically populated into the glucose field of the integrated bolus calculator when the Control-IQ technology is active (i.e., the device is operating in closed-loop mode). This feature is disabled when Control-IQ is turned off.

    Control-IQ technology requires users to input their total daily insulin requirement, which should be established with the help of a health care provider before using the device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted for the Tandem Diabetes Care Control-IQ Technology (K232382).

    Here's the breakdown of the information requested:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly present a table of specific numerical acceptance criteria for the Control-IQ technology. However, it states the primary outcome of the pivotal clinical study. The device's performance is reported in relation to this outcome.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Primary Outcome)
    Percent time in range 70-180 mg/dLThis was the primary outcome of the study, and the study was successful enough to support the expanded age indication. Specific numerical values for the performance are not provided in this document, but the study conclusion supports the device's efficacy for the expanded age range.

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

    • Sample Size: 102 subjects were enrolled in the pivotal clinical study.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin. It indicates the study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. The study's "ground truth" for glucose values would inherently come from the continuous glucose monitors (CGM) used by the subjects in the trial, but the involvement of independent experts to establish a "ground truth" for the test set is not mentioned.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided in the document.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Readers Improve With AI vs. Without AI Assistance

    A MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not done. This device is an automated glycemic controller, where the AI (Control-IQ technology) directly controls insulin delivery, rather than assisting human interpretation of data for medical decision making.

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

    Yes, the pivotal clinical study directly evaluated the performance of the Control-IQ technology (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop for basal insulin adjustments and correction boluses based on predictions). Subjects were randomized to either Control-IQ or Standard Care, directly comparing the automated system's performance.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the primary outcome (percent time in range 70-180 mg/dL) was based on CGM measured glucose values.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not provide information on the sample size used for the training set of the Control-IQ algorithm. The clinical study described is a pivotal trial for evaluation of the device, not necessarily for its training.

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

    The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established.

    Intended Use

    The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology (the pump) is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. The pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, to receive, execute, and confirm commands from these devices.

    The pump is intended for single patient, home use and requires a prescription.

    The pump is indicated for use in individuals six years of age and greater.

    Device Description

    The Subject Device, Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology ("Mobi pump", "the pump"), is an Alternate Controller Enabled (ACE) Infusion Pump intended for the infusion of insulin into a patient requiring insulin therapy. The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology ("pump") is screenless and includes visual LED, sound, and vibratory indicators to alert the user of the pump status. The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology system also includes: the t:connect mobile app and a 2mL (200 insulin unit) Tandem Mobi cartridge and a compatible FDA cleared infusion set. The t:connect mobile app ("Mobile app") displays all information from, and is the primary controller of, the pump. Through the Mobile app, users will program all aspects of basal and bolus insulin delivery therapy including managing personal profiles, viewing pump and CGM data, and actively acknowledging all pump and mobile app alerts, alarms, reminders, notifications and messages. The t:connect mobile app will also be used to transmit historical pump and mobile app therapy data to the Tandem Cloud. The t:connect mobile app will be made available via the Apple® App Store for iOS compatible smartphones based on completed device verification and validation. The Tandem Mobi cartridge is a disposable insulin cartridge compatible only with the Tandem Mobi pump.

    The Tandem Mobi ACE pump can be used for basal and bolus insulin delivery with or without a CGM or with any compatible interoperable automated dosing algorithm.

    The pump may be used in combination with a compatible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system, such as the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (DEN170088). Use of CGM is optional.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document K233044 is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Tandem Mobi insulin pump with interoperable technology. It is a "Special 510(k)" submission, which means it relies on a previously cleared predicate device (K223213) to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than providing entirely new data.

    Therefore, the document explicitly states that "No new clinical testing was performed to support this 510(k) Notification." This means that the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details are not present in this document, as the submission relies on the prior clearance of the predicate device.

    Based on the provided text, I cannot provide the details you requested because the submission is a Special 510(k) and explicitly states that no new performance testing (including clinical, usability, software, electrical safety, or biocompatibility) was performed.

    The relevant sections that confirm this are:

    • "IV. Overview of Non-Clinical Performance Tests"
      • "Usability/Human Factors: No new Usability or Human Factors testing was performed to support this 510(k) Notification."
      • "Software Verification and Validation: No new Software testing was performed to support this 510(k) Notification."
      • "Electrical Safety/ EMC: No new Electrical and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) was performed to support this 510(k) Notification."
      • "Insulin Compatibility and Biocompatibility: No new insulin compatibility testing was performed to support this 510(k) Notification."
      • "Clinical Testing: No new clinical testing was performed to support this 510(k) Notification."
    • "Conclusion: The Subject Device serves the same function as the Predicate Device. Furthermore, the Subject Device performs insulin therapy functions that are the same as that of the Predicate Device. The required technical documentation provided in this Special 510(k) demonstrates the Subject Device is as safe and as effective as the Predicate Device. Therefore, the Subject Device has been evaluated to be substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device and does not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness."

    To get the information you requested, one would need to review the original 510(k) submission for the predicate device (K223213), as that would presumably contain the "new" testing data that established its safety and effectiveness.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and study details based solely on this K233044 document.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Tandem Mobi insulin pump. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed clinical study with specific acceptance criteria and performance data in the format requested.

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

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

    The document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics in the format you requested, such as sensitivity, specificity, or similar quantitative measures for an AI-driven diagnostic. Instead, it describes general non-clinical performance tests and states that the device "met specified requirements" or "performed as intended."

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

    The document explicitly states: "No new clinical testing was performed to support this Traditional 510(k) Notification." Therefore, there is no test set of patient data from a clinical study to report on for the Tandem Mobi insulin pump itself. The evaluation relies on non-clinical performance tests and comparison to a predicate device.

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

    Since no new clinical testing was performed, the concept of "ground truth" derived from expert consensus on a test set is not applicable here.

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

    Not applicable, as no new clinical testing was performed.

    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. The Tandem Mobi insulin pump is an Alternate Controller Enabled (ACE) Infusion Pump intended for insulin delivery, not a diagnostic device requiring human interpretation of medical images or data. Therefore, an MRMC study and the concept of "human readers improve with AI assistance" are not relevant to this device's evaluation.

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

    The device itself is a pump for insulin delivery. While it has "interoperable technology" connecting to a mobile app and potentially automated insulin dosing software, the document doesn't describe a standalone algorithm performance in the context of a diagnostic AI system. The "algorithm only" would likely pertain to the internal control logic of the pump or any integrated automated dosing algorithms (which are referenced as separate devices like Control-IQ technology). The evaluation here focuses on the pump as a system, including its communication capabilities.

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

    Given the nature of the device (an insulin pump), the "ground truth" for its performance would typically involve:

    • Physiological measurements: Accurate insulin delivery, blood glucose control (as observed in predicate/reference device studies, not new studies for this 510k).
    • Engineering specifications: Meeting defined tolerances for flow rate, pressure, safety, etc. (evaluated in non-clinical tests).
    • System Integrity: Reliability of communication, software function, alarm systems, etc. (evaluated in non-clinical tests).

    The summary indicates that Usability/Human Factors, Software Verification and Validation, Electrical Safety/EMC, Insulin Compatibility and Biocompatibility, and Sterilization and Shipping tests were performed. These tests use their own respective "ground truths" in the form of pre-defined requirements, standards (e.g., IEC 60601), or established safety profiles. For instance, in "Insulin Compatibility," the ground truth is that the insulin performs "as intended" in the device, presumably based on its known pharmacological properties and stability.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable, as no new clinical testing or development of a new AI algorithm (in the diagnostic sense) is described. The device is a medical device leveraging established technology for insulin delivery.

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

    Not applicable.

    Summary Regarding Acceptance Criteria and Study:

    The document effectively communicates that the Tandem Mobi insulin pump's acceptance criteria are primarily based on non-clinical performance tests demonstrating compliance with relevant standards and guidelines, and its substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device (K203234, the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with interoperable technology).

    The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" consists of:

    • Usability/Human Factors validation testing: To ensure users can safely and effectively operate the device.
    • Software Verification and Validation: To confirm the software meets requirements and performs as intended, adhering to standards like IEC 62304 and FDA guidance. This includes cybersecurity evaluations.
    • Electrical Safety/EMC Testing: To ensure compliance with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (e.g., IEC 60601).
    • Insulin Compatibility and Biocompatibility Testing: To confirm the device functions correctly with approved insulins and that materials are biocompatible.
    • Sterilization and Shipping Testing: To ensure the integrity of the device and its sterilization.
    • Special Controls Adherence: Demonstrating compliance with special controls established for the predicate and reference devices.

    The key takeaway is that for this 510(k) submission, the safety and effectiveness of the Tandem Mobi insulin pump are established through bench testing, engineering validation, and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than new clinical trials with patient-level data and AI performance metrics.

    • View The Pump therapy data, trends, alerts, alarms, notifications, and reminders as a secondary display.
    • Program Correction Boluses, Bolus Override, and Food (Standard) Boluses.
    • Terminate (Cancel or stop) all bolus types regardless of origin of bolus request being made on the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump or the t:connect mobile app.
      Outside of programming and terminating boluses, the t:connect mobile app will have no other controlling action on The Pump.
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes the FDA 510(k) clearance for the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Interoperable Technology (with t:connect mobile app). It focuses on the addition of the mobile app to allow limited control of bolus insulin therapy.

    Based on the provided text, here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

    No specific quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed study results (like sensitivity, specificity, or specific error rates) are explicitly reported in this 510(k) summary for the t:connect mobile app. The submission primarily relies on non-clinical testing (human factors, software verification and validation, cybersecurity) and demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    The clearance is for a medical device (insulin pump with a mobile app for control), not an AI/ML algorithm that predicts or diagnoses based on data. Therefore, many of the typical AI/ML study components (like expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or specific performance metrics like AUC, sensitivity, specificity, etc.) are not applicable or not explicitly detailed in this type of regulatory submission for this device.

    The study aims to demonstrate that the mobile app addition is safe and effective and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device.


    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Given the nature of this device (insulin pump with a mobile app for control), the "acceptance criteria" are more about functionality, safety, and human usability rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics.

    Study Details

    1. Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance:
      This document focuses on non-clinical testing (human factors, software V&V, cybersecurity) and does not specify a "test set" in the context of a clinical trial or algorithm performance evaluation on a patient dataset.

      • Human Factors Validation Testing: While the document states "Human factors validation testing was conducted," it does not specify the sample size (number of participants) or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
      • Software Verification and Validation: This testing involves internal software evaluations, code reviews, unit testing, and system-level testing. There isn't typically a "sample size" in the same way as a clinical dataset for these activities. The provenance relates to the software development process itself.
      • No new clinical testing was required. This indicates no patient data was used for a new clinical study to support this specific 510(k) for the mobile app.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

      • Not Applicable/Not Specified in this context. For human factors, "ground truth" would be related to user performance outcomes and safety, assessed by usability engineers or similar experts rather than medical specialists establishing diagnostic ground truth from images or clinical data. The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts for these assessments.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

      • Not Applicable/Not Specified. This type of adjudication is typically for establishing medical "ground truth" in diagnostic studies, which was not performed here.
    4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

      • No. This type of study (MRMC for AI assistance) is not applicable to an insulin pump and its control app. This device does not involve "human readers" interpreting medical images or data with or without AI assistance.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

      • Not Applicable in the traditional AI/ML sense. The software itself undergoes comprehensive standalone verification and validation to ensure its functional correctness and safety, but this is distinct from "standalone performance" of a diagnostic AI algorithm. The device, including the app, is designed for human-in-the-loop use for insulin delivery.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

      • Not Applicable. For a device like an insulin pump and its control app, "ground truth" isn't established in the same way as for diagnostic AI. Instead, the "ground truth" for safety and effectiveness is established through:
        • Functional Requirements: The expected, correct operation of the software and hardware.
        • Usability Objectives: The desired safe and effective user interaction, verified through human factors testing.
        • Regulatory Standards & Guidance: Adherence to established medical device software, cybersecurity, and risk management standards.
    7. The sample size for the training set:

      • Not Applicable. This device is not described as using machine learning that has a "training set" in the context of data-driven model training. Its functionality is based on pre-defined algorithms for insulin delivery control.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

      • Not Applicable. No training set for an AI/ML algorithm is mentioned.
