A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the format typically used for performance studies of AI/SaMD. Instead, it refers to "functional tests to demonstrate forces experienced by the needle during use and to demonstrate mechanical strength" and "biocompatibility." The reported performance is a general statement that these tests were conducted to support substantial equivalence.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) Reported Device Performance Demonstrate forces experienced by the needle during use Functional testing conducted (specific results not detailed) Demonstrate mechanical strength Functional testing conducted (specific results not detailed) Meet biocompatibility standards Biocompatibility testing conducted (specific results not detailed) Substantial equivalence to predicate device (K091391) Determined to be substantially equivalent by FDA, based on conducted tests -
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document primarily describes physical device testing. It does not refer to "test sets" or "data provenance" in the context of clinical data or AI model evaluation. The tests are functional and biocompatibility tests on the physical needles. The sample sizes for these types of engineering tests are typically determined by standards and internal protocols, but are not specified here. The location of testing is Uroplasty, Inc. (Minnetonka, MN, USA), which implies the data provenance is also within the US. The tests would be prospective in nature, conducted on new or prototype devices.
-
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 question is not applicable to the type of device and study described. This is not a study requiring expert-established ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for functional and biocompatibility tests is based on established engineering and biological standards.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies or AI performance evaluations where there can be disagreement among experts. Here, the tests are objective, physical, and chemical evaluations.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This question is not applicable. The Uroplasty Rigid Endoscopic Needles are a physical accessory, not an AI or imaging device, and therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance for human readers was not performed.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable. The device is a physical endoscopic needle, not an algorithm or standalone software.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is based on engineering standards for mechanical strength and functionality, and biocompatibility standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series) for biological safety. There is no clinical or diagnostic "ground truth" as would be found in an imaging or diagnostic device study.
-
The sample size for the training set
This question is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established
This question is not applicable. There is no "training set."
Summary of Findings:
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" of a physical medical device (endoscopic needles) to a previously cleared predicate device. The evaluation involved functional and biocompatibility testing of the physical product, rather than clinical studies with human subjects or performance evaluations of AI algorithms.

The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is intended to treat patients with Overactive Bladder (OAB) and associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge incontinence.
The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System is a minimally invasive neuromodulation system designed to deliver retrograde access to the sacral nerve through percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. The method of treatment is referred to as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS). The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is a combination of the Urgent PC Stimulator and the Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set. The Urgent PC Stimulator is a battery-operated external pulse generator and is designed, constructed, and manufactured for multiple use, only in conjunction with the Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set. The Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set transfers the electrical current from the Urgent PC Stimulator to the tibial nerve via the Needle Electrode. The entire Stimulation Lead Set is intended for single use only and is not to be reused.
The provided text does not contain a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner requested. The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System. It highlights that the "new device" is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared predicate device (K071822). The primary difference noted is a change in the wording of the indications statement to incorporate "Overactive Bladder (OAB)" terminology, which is described as an "update in wording rather than a change in the device patient population."
Therefore, the submission relies on the established performance and safety of the predicate device, rather than presenting new clinical study data with specific acceptance criteria and detailed performance metrics for the updated device itself.
Based on the provided information, I cannot complete the requested tables and details as the document does not include a new study with explicit acceptance criteria and corresponding performance data for the device.
Here's an explanation of why the requested information cannot be extracted:
- No explicit acceptance criteria or measured performance: The document states that the "Urgent PC Neuromodulation System and Stimulation Lead Set allows for the successful performance of the product's intended use," but it does not provide any specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or clinical efficacy rates) or reported performance values against those criteria.
- No new study details: The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, not a new clinical trial reporting primary endpoints and statistical analysis. It does not describe a study involving test sets, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies.
In summary, the provided document is a regulatory submission asserting substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and thus does not contain the detailed study information (acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth methodology, etc.) that would typically be found in a clinical study report.

The Rigid Endoscopic Needle is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only. The stainless steel cannula is 300 to 500 mm long with an 18-23 gauge tip (10 - 15 mm in length) and a metal luer lock connector; the needle also has a protective polyethylene sheath.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Uroplasty Rigid Endoscopic Needle, asserting its substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. However, it does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria or a dedicated study that proves the device meets such criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics.
The submission focuses on demonstrating technological equivalence to the predicate device, not on presenting novel performance data from human or animal studies.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance is not available in the provided text. The submission states: "The new and predicate devices are technologically the same; they are both rigid endoscopic needles intended to be accessories for standard endoscopes for the use of administering injectable materials. Both devices have similar intended uses and principles of action; they are both supplied sterile and are for single use only. In the few instances where the devices differ, no concerns about safety or effectiveness are raised."
The "Performance" section merely states: "The Uroplasty Rigid Endoscopic Needle allows delivery of injectable materials into tissues during an endoscopic procedure, thereby achieving its intended use." This is a description of its intended function, not a quantification of its performance against specific criteria.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
Not applicable. No test set or clinical study data is presented. The submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
Not applicable. No test set or ground truth establishment by experts is mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. No test set or adjudication method is mentioned.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size:
No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted or reported in this submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument, not an algorithm, so standalone performance in this context is irrelevant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
Not applicable. No ground truth data is presented. The basis for clearance is substantial equivalence to a predicate device, meaning the new device is considered as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This is a hardware device submission, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable.
Summary of the Study (Implied by the 510(k) process):
The "study" in this context is essentially the comparison to the predicate device (K051905). The submission is a regulatory filing arguing that the new device is sufficiently similar to an already cleared device that it does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
- Acceptance Criteria (Implied): The implied acceptance criteria for this 510(k) would be that the new device's technological characteristics, intended use, and principles of operation are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and any differences do not negatively impact safety or effectiveness.
- Proof: The "proof" is the written argument provided in the "Technological Characteristics" section, stating that the new and predicate devices are "technologically the same" and that "In the few instances where the devices differ, no concerns about safety or effectiveness are raised." This is a qualitative assessment presented to the FDA. The FDA's letter confirms their agreement with this assessment by stating the device is "substantially equivalent."

- No. This is a surgical implant device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. MRMC studies are not relevant here.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "truth" for this medical device's performance would be considered clinical outcomes data (success/failure in treating SUI, safety profile, absence of significant complications) and biocompatibility testing results. Specific details on how this "truth" was collected or adjudicated are not provided in this summary.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable/Not specified. This device does not involve a "training set" in the AI/ML sense.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable/Not specified. As above, no training set for AI/ML.
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) submission for a non-AI surgical implant, focusing on regulatory substantial equivalence.

The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System is a minimally invasive neuromodulation system designed to deliver retrograde access to the sacral nerve through percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. The method of treatment is referred to as Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS).
The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System is a combination of the Urgent PC Stimulator and the Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set. The Urgent PC Stimulator is a battery-operated external pulse generator and is designed, constructed, and manufactured for multiple use, only in conjunction with the Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set. The Urgent PC Stimulation Lead Set transfers the electrical current from the Urgent PC Stimulator to the tibial nerve via the Needle Electrode. The entire Stimulation Lead Set is intended for single use only and is not to be reused.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification summary and the FDA's clearance letter for the Uroplasty, Inc. Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical trial for a new product.
Therefore, the document does NOT contain information on:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance based on a new study.
- Sample sizes used for a test set.
- Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Number of experts or their qualifications for ground truth.
- Adjudication method for a test set.
- Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used (pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
- Sample size for a training set.
- How ground truth for a training set was established.
Explanation Based on Provided Text:
The core of this submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an already legally marketed predicate device (UroSurge® Percutaneous SANS™ Device, K992069). This means the focus is on showing that the new device has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
The "Performance" section within the 510(k) summary states: "The Urgent PC Neuromodulation System and Stimulation Lead Set allows for the successful performance of the product's intended use." This is a declarative statement of perceived performance, not a report of a specific study with defined acceptance criteria and quantitative results.
The FDA's decision letter confirms this approach, stating "We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device... and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices..."
In summary, there is no detailed study described in this document that would provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert involvement for a performance study. The device's "performance" is implicitly accepted because it is deemed substantially equivalent to a device already cleared by the FDA.
