This document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Pilot TLS" device, primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the "C3 Wave," rather than presenting a standalone study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance data in the format requested.
However, based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted and inferred regarding performance and testing:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics. Instead, it lists various non-clinical tests conducted to verify performance requirements. These tests are generally designed to ensure compliance with standards and safety, not necessarily to quantify specific performance metrics against a defined acceptance criterion for a clinical study.
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from testing) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from text) |
---|---|
Electrical Safety (IEC 60601-1, 3rd Ed.) | Testing conducted, results support substantial equivalence. |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2, 3rd Ed.) | Testing conducted, results support substantial equivalence. |
Software Verification and Validation Testing | Testing conducted, results support substantial equivalence. |
Usability/Human Factors (CDRH guidance, IEC 62366-1) | Human factors study assessed usability against predetermined criteria; results compiled and assessed according to guidance. |
Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, -4, -5, -10) | Testing conducted for cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility, sensitization, irritation, and pyrogenicity of Vygocard; results support substantial equivalence. |
Intravascular Catheter Standards (ISO 10555-1, ISO 80369-7, ISO 80369-20) | Testing conducted, results support substantial equivalence. |
Confirmation of PICC tip placement via P-wave detection (fundamental technology) | Device provides real-time catheter tip location information by displaying changes in patient's cardiac electrical activity, based on identification of a maximum P-wave. This is considered similar to the predicate. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not provide details on a specific test set size for clinical performance evaluation. It explicitly states: "No human clinical data was provided to support substantial equivalence."
The "human factors study" mentioned could be considered a usability test set, but details about its size or provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) are not disclosed in this document.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
As "No human clinical data was provided," there is no information about experts used to establish ground truth for a clinical test set. For the human factors study, the participants are referred to as "independent clinician participants," but their number or specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience) are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as "No human clinical data was provided" for a clinical test set that would require ground truth adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its effect size
No, the document explicitly states: "No human clinical data was provided to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, no MRMC study or effect size for AI assistance is reported.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The document describes the "Pilot TLS" as a device providing "real-time catheter tip location information by displaying changes in the patient's cardiac electrical activity." This implies human interaction as "displaying" information requires interpretation by a user. The software verification and validation would test the algorithm's functionality, but a formal "standalone" performance study in a clinical context (without human interaction) is not described. The device is intended as an "alternative method to chest X-ray or fluoroscopy confirmation," which inherently involves a human interpreting the device's output.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
Given the statement "No human clinical data was provided to support substantial equivalence," there is no mention of ground truth established through expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data for clinical performance. The comparison to chest X-ray or fluoroscopy implies these are the traditional "ground truth" methods for PICC tip placement confirmation, but no data is presented where the Pilot TLS's output is validated against these.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. The document does not describe the development or training of a machine learning algorithm, and thus no training set sample size is mentioned. This device relies on "identification of a maximum P-wave in the patient's intravascular ECG signal," which is a known physiological principle, not a machine learning model requiring a training set in the typical sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model is mentioned.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not specify a distinct "test set" sample size in terms of the number of feeding tubes or components used for the non-clinical bench testing. It broadly states that "Non-Clinical verification... was conducted through in-vitro bench testing."
- Data Provenance: The data is from in-vitro bench testing, meaning it was conducted in a laboratory setting. The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the US FDA, implying the tests were conducted either by the applicant (Vygon Corp. in Montgomeryville, PA, USA) or a certified laboratory for the purpose of US market approval. The testing is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the performance of the manufactured device in a controlled environment as part of the market submission process, rather than a prospective clinical trial.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
This section is not applicable as the provided information describes non-clinical bench testing of a physical medical device, not a diagnostic or AI-driven system requiring expert-established ground truth from images or clinical data. The "ground truth" here is determined by engineering specifications and physical measurements, and the conformity to these is assessed by technical personnel.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This section is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for resolving disagreements among multiple human readers on a diagnosis or interpretation, which is not relevant to the described non-clinical bench testing.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This section is not applicable. The provided document is for a physical medical device (feeding tube) and does not involve AI assistance, human readers, or image interpretation. Therefore, an MRMC study or effect size calculation with AI assistance is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This section is not applicable. The device is a physical feeding tube, not an algorithm or software. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for this premarket notification is based on engineering specifications and intended use requirements. The non-clinical bench testing verified that the Nutrisafe 2 Feeding Tube, despite a change in silicone material formulation, continued to meet these established specifications and its intended use, which includes safety features related to connection types.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This section is not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this device's non-clinical verification. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms, which are not part of this submission.

For nasogastric/oralgastric enteral feeding, incorporating safety connectors which reduce the risk of misconnections between feeding tubes and intravenous connectors.
The Nutrisafe 2 feeding tubes are a product line extension to the existing Nutrisafe 2 feeding tubes. The subject feeding tubes are available in several sizes and in two materials. The feeding system contains a unique connection that does not incorporate a luer, reducing the risk of inadvertently connecting to intravenous connectors. The locking connection reduces the risk of involuntary disconnection; voluntary disconnection is achieved by simply unscrewing the hub connections.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Nutrisafe 2 Feeding Tube, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not involve an AI/ML device or a study that evaluates its performance against acceptance criteria in the way described in your request. The document focuses on the regulatory clearance process for a common medical device (feeding tube) based on its technological characteristics and intended use, rather than an AI algorithm's diagnostic or predictive capabilities.
Therefore, many of the requested categories in your prompt are not applicable to the provided information. I will, however, outline what can be extracted from the text in relation to your request.
Summary of Provided Information Regarding Acceptance Criteria and Study:
The provided document, K100163, is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Nutrisafe 2 Feeding Tube), which is a product line extension. This type of regulatory submission assesses substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific quantitative acceptance criteria of an AI model.
The "study" mentioned is a non-clinical verification through in-vitro bench testing. This type of testing ensures the device meets its specifications and intended use, primarily focusing on physical and functional characteristics suitable for a feeding tube, such as the integrity of the connection system, material compatibility, and flow rates. It does not involve human subjects, comparison to AI, or expert adjudication of outcomes.
Here's how the information aligns (or doesn't align) with your request categories:
-
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: This kind of quantitative data (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) is not present because this is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool. The general "acceptance criteria" for this device would be its ability to meet specifications for a feeding tube as determined by the in-vitro bench testing.
Metric/Criteria Reported Device Performance All Specifications and Intended Use "meets all specifications and intended use." -
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML device. The "test set" here would refer to the physical samples of the Nutrisafe 2 Feeding Tubes used in the in-vitro bench testing. The document does not specify the number of tubes tested, nor their manufacturing origin beyond "Vygon, Montgomeryville, PA 18936." This was in-vitro testing, not human data.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of an AI/ML model, refers to validated diagnoses or outcomes. For a physical feeding tube, "ground truth" is established by engineering standards and functional tests. No external experts or adjudication were involved in establishing "ground truth" for the device's functional performance beyond the internal verification process.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. This method is used for resolving discrepancies in expert labeling or diagnoses for AI/ML validation datasets.
-
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 study type is for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human diagnostic performance. The Nutrisafe 2 Feeding Tube is a standalone medical device, not an AI component.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This refers to the performance of an AI algorithm alone.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For this device, the "ground truth" for its performance is derived from engineering specifications and in-vitro functional and safety testing results. For example, the "locking connection reduces the risk of involuntary disconnection" is a functional characteristic tested against design requirements.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device does not have a "training set" in the context of AI/ML.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
In summary, the provided document describes a traditional medical device (feeding tube) and its regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence and non-clinical bench testing, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, most of the detailed questions regarding AI/ML study methodologies are not relevant to this specific premarket notification.

Hepatostat Set is an absorbable compression system acting as a tourniquet on the hepatic, splenic and nephric tissue. It is used to achieve hemostasis in hepatic, splenic, and nephric resections. It can also be used for traumatic liver, kidney and spleen injuries. It is designed to provide compressive hemostasis to the wound site, and resorb naturally over time after hemostasis has been achieved.
The Hepatostat Set® is an absorbable compression device which allows to perform any type of hepatic resection, large or small, without any significant bleeding. It is made of four pre-perforated absorbable strips. These strips are connected together by twenty Safil® polyfilament ligatures introduced through the liver by a special tubular needle holder. Each suture is terminated by a stainless steel dart and already inserted into a stainless steel tubular needle holder, fitted to the liver thickness. Two clamps enable to bring together two strips.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Hepatostat" device, which is an absorbable compression system. The submission expands the intended use of a previously cleared device (K061796).

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., success rates, hemostasis time limits) or detailed reported device performance metrics from a clinical study in a table format.
The closest statement to device performance is:
- "Performance testing demonstrates that the Hepatostat is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and safe and effective to use, when used in accordance with the supplied instructions for use."
This is a general statement of equivalence and safety/efficacy rather than specific metrics against defined criteria.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The document only mentions "Animal testing has been conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy for use in splenic and nephric resection." It does not provide the number of animals or specific cases.
- Data Provenance: Animal testing. The country of origin is not specified, but the applicant is Vygon Corporation in the USA. The testing would be considered prospective as it was conducted to support the expanded indication.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Not applicable. The ground truth was established through animal testing, which would involve direct observation of hemostasis and tissue response, likely by veterinary surgeons or animal researchers, rather than human expert interpretation of images or clinical outcomes in humans.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not applicable. As the ground truth was established through direct observation in animal studies, an adjudication method for human expert review is not relevant.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device described is a physical surgical device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool. Therefore, questions regarding human reader improvement with AI assistance are not relevant to this submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. As stated above, this is a physical surgical device, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The ground truth used was direct observation of hemostasis and tissue response in animal studies. This is a form of outcomes data in an animal model.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. The document describes animal testing done for performance demonstration to support regulatory submission, not machine learning model training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not applicable, as no machine learning model training is described.
Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria, as described in the document, is animal testing.

Hepatostat Set is a compression system acting as a tourniquet on the hepatic tissue. It is intended to reduce the risk of bleeding and to achieve hemostasis in hepatic resections (from large to small superficial hepatectomy). It can also be used for traumatic liver injuries.
The Hepatostat Set is an absorbable compression device which was developed for the purpose of hepatic resection, large or small, without any significant bleeding. It consists of four pre-perforated absorbable strips which are sutured together with Safil polyfilament ligatures introduced through the liver with a tubular needle.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Hepatostat Set," an absorbable compression device intended for hepatic resection and traumatic liver injuries to reduce bleeding and achieve hemostasis. The submission references Biocompatibility and implant testing, performance testing, and risk assessment as the studies demonstrating safety and effectiveness.
However, the provided text does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or numerical performance data typically found in a clinical study report for AI/ML devices. It focuses on the regulatory submission process for a physical medical device. Therefore, I will create a table outlining the stated acceptance criteria (which are more general compliance requirements for this type of device) and the reported device performance based on the information provided.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a submission for a traditional medical device (not an AI/ML device), the "acceptance criteria" are framed as regulatory and performance standards, and "device performance" refers to its ability to meet those standards as demonstrated by various tests.
Acceptance Criteria (Stated Requirements) | Reported Device Performance (as per submission) |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Device materials must be safe for implantation and not cause adverse biological reactions. (ISO 10993-1) | Demonstrated: Biocompatibility testing of the material in accordance with ISO 10993-1, including implantation testing at 3, 6, 12, and 15 months, demonstrates performance and biocompatibility of the device. |
Device Performance (Mechanical/Functional): The device must function as intended (e.g., provide compression, degrade appropriately). | Demonstrated: In vitro testing demonstrates that the device performance. The absorbable strips and Safile sutures are broken down by hydrolysis, degrading into glycolic and lactic acid, which are subsequently metabolized and absorbed by the body. Complete absorption of sutures occurs between 60 and 90 days. Liver hemostasis is fairly rapid (approximately 15 days) and not impeded by reabsorption of components. |
Sterility: The device must be sterile to a specified assurance level. | Ensured: Sterility testing ensures a sterility assurance level of 10^-6. |
Risk Assessment: Potential risks associated with the device must be identified and mitigated. | Addressed: Risk assessment was performed. |
Safety and Effectiveness: The device must be safe and effective for its intended use. | Concluded: Biocompatibility and implant testing, performance testing, and risk assessment demonstrate that the Hepatostat Set is safe and effective to use when used in accordance with the supplied instructions for use. |
Substantial Equivalence: The device must be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. | Achieved: FDA reviewed the 510(k), found it substantially equivalent to predicate devices (Mar-Med Liver Strap K924223, Vicryl Synthetic Absorbable Surgical Suture K033746, Safil Synthetic Absorbable Surgical Suture K031286, MonoSyn Synthetic Absorbable Surgical Suture K011375), and issued K061796. |

The Vygon Multicath Expert Catheter is intended for use in patients who require Short-term (less than 30 days) I.V. iherapy. It may be used to administer hyperalimentation, antibiotics, chemotherapy, drugs for pain management or intravenous fluids. The catheters are manufactured with a Pellethane-based AgION™ antimicrobial. The AglON™ uses silver as the antimicrobial agent.
The Multicath Expert catheters are a line of multilumen catheters which have an antimicrobial function. The polyurethane catheters are impregnated with the silver ion-based antimicrobial agent AgION™ and are available in 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-lumen catheters. Silver has been shown to have exceptional broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria and fungi including antibiotic resistant strains. The expert technology is based on an antimicrobial substance which is both mineral and bio-inert. It is neither an antibiotic nor an organic antiseptic; and the silver ions are released in low, non-toxic concentrations. Expert catheters release silver ions from their internal and external surfaces, and silver ions are released very gradually over an extended period of time, ensuring long-term efficacy. Biocompatibility and performance testing demonstrates the safety and efficacy of these devices.
The Vygon Multicath Expert Catheter is cleared via the 510(k) pathway, which means it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than fulfilling specific acceptance criteria in a clinical study. The provided document does not contain details about a study with acceptance criteria and a reported device performance as would be expected for a de novo device or a device with new indications requiring clinical efficacy data.
Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating that the only change—the addition of the AgION™ silver ion-based antimicrobial agent—does not adversely affect the safety and efficacy of the device compared to its predicate.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
No specific acceptance criteria in terms of clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for an AI device) are mentioned because this is a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (intravascular catheter) with an antimicrobial coating. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the regulatory requirements for showing substantial equivalence.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by 510(k)) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Non-irritant and non-toxic materials. | Biocompatibility testing of the material demonstrates it is non-irritant and non-toxic. |
Performance: Changes do not affect safety or efficacy compared to predicate. | Performance testing demonstrates that the changes do not affect safety or efficacy. |
Risk Assessment: Compliance with ISO 14971. | Risk Assessment was conducted in compliance with ISO 14971. |
Antimicrobial Functionality (AgION™): Release of silver ions for broad antimicrobial spectrum. | "Silver has been shown to have exceptional broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria and fungi including antibiotic resistant strains." "Expert catheters release silver ions from their internal and external surfaces, and silver ions are released very gradually over an extended period of time, ensuring long-term efficacy." (This describes the technology characteristic, not necessarily a formal performance metric from a study within this submission). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an AI/algorithm-driven device. The evaluation of the Multicath Expert is based on:
- Biocompatibility testing: This typically involves in vitro and sometimes in vivo animal studies, but the sample sizes are not specified here.
- Performance testing: This refers to mechanical and functional testing (e.g., flow rates, tensile strength) to ensure the catheter's core functionality is maintained despite the coating. Sample sizes for these engineering tests are not provided.
- Risk assessment: An analytical process, not a data-driven test set.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm device requiring expert-established ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
Not applicable. This is not an AI device.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
Not applicable in the AI/algorithm sense. The "ground truth" for this device's safety and efficacy is derived from:
- Biocompatibility standards: established methods for evaluating biological harm.
- Performance specifications: engineering and functional requirements for catheters.
- Predicate device's known safety and efficacy: the established performance of the already-marketed Multicath (K870067).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable.

For nasogastric/oralgastric enteral feeding, incorporating safety connectors which eliminates the risk of IV administration through the feeding tube.
The Nutrisafe 2 is a complete system of feeding tubes and accessories. The feeding tubes are available in several configurations and in three materials: DEHP-free PVC, Polyurethane, and Silicone. One of the benefits of the Nutrisafe 2 is that the connection does not incorporate a luer, and thus eliminating the risk of inadvertently connecting the system to an IV system. The Nutrisafe 2 feeding tube features a locking connection which eliminates the risk of involuntary disconnection; voluntary disconnection is achieved by simply unscrewing the hub connections.
The provided 510(k) summary for the Nutrisafe 2 describes a medical device, not a software algorithm or AI device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to acceptance criteria, ground truth, and studies for AI/algorithm performance are not applicable.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Biocompatibility: Non-irritant and non-toxic | "Biocompatibility testing of the material demonstrates that it is non-irritant and non-toxic." |
Performance: No adverse effect on safety/efficacy due to changes | "Performance testing demonstrates that the changes do not affect safety or efficacy." |
Risk Assessment (ISO 14971 compliance) | "Risk Assessment was conducted in compliance with ISO 14971." |
Elimination of risk of IV administration through feeding tube | The device's design "does not incorporate a luer, and thus eliminating the risk of inadvertently connecting the system to an IV system." This is a fundamental design characteristic and the basis for its intended use and a key benefit over predicate devices. |
Elimination of risk of involuntary disconnection | The device features "a locking connection which eliminates the risk of involuntary disconnection; voluntary disconnection is achieved by simply unscrewing the hub connections." This is a fundamental design characteristic. |
No change in end-user technique; no special training required | "Another benefit of the Nutrisafe 2 is that it does not change the technique of the end-user, and therefore it does not require any special training." This is a claim made about user interaction with the device. |
Meets manufacturers specifications | "Biocompatibility testing, performance testing and risk assessment demonstrate that the Nutrisafe 2 meets manufacturers specifications." While this is a general statement, it implies various internal specifications were met. This is a common umbrella acceptance criterion for medical devices. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This information is not applicable as the device is a physical feeding tube system, not an algorithm or AI device that relies on a test set of data. The studies conducted were physical materials and performance tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable for a physical medical device. "Ground truth" in the context of AI refers to verified labels on data. For the Nutrisafe 2, evaluations would involve standard engineering and biological testing methods.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for a physical medical device. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies involving expert review of data, typically for AI performance evaluation.
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 as the device is a physical feeding tube system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done
This information is not applicable as the device is a physical feeding tube system, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the Nutrisafe 2 is derived from physical and biological testing standards and requirements, interpreted as meeting manufacturer specifications and safety/efficacy goals. This includes:
- Biocompatibility standards: Demonstrating non-irritant and non-toxic properties.
- Performance standards: Verifying the functional aspects like the locking connection and prevention of incorrect luer connections.
- Risk assessment standards: Compliance with ISO 14971.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable as the device is a physical feeding tube system, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set. Material and design choices are based on engineering principles and existing medical knowledge, not machine learning training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as above.

The Vygon LIFECATH S PICC and Midline catheters are intended for use in patients who require mid-long term IV therapy. It may be used to administer hyperalimentation antibiotics, chemotherapy, drugs for pain management or intravenous fluid.
The Lifecath S peripherally inserted central catheters and midline catheters are fabricated of barium impregnated silicone elastomer. The catheters are supplied with a guidewire to aid in insertion. The 60 cm PICC is available as a 2Fr, 3Fr, 4Fr, and 5Fr single lumen catheter, and 4Fr, 5Fr and 6Fr catheter. The 20 cm midline catheter is available as a 2Fr, 3Fr, 4Fr, and 5Fr single lumen catheter, and 4Fr, 5Fr and 6Fr catheter. Both catheters have a fixation hub and an extravascular extension line. The catheters are marked every centimeter from the hub to the proximal tip. The fixation hub is marked with the catheter French size, and the extension lines are marked with the gauge size. A clamp is attached to each extension line, and is marked with the priming volume.
This FDA 510(k) submission (K062425) does not describe a study related to a software or AI/ML-driven medical device. Instead, it concerns the Vygon Lifecath S PICC and Midline catheters, which are physical medical devices.
Therefore, most of the requested information about acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training sets, and ground truth establishment, which are typical for AI/ML device evaluations, are not applicable to this submission.
The document indicates that the device met acceptance criteria by demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices through:
- Biocompatibility data: Showing materials are non-irritant and non-toxic.
- Performance testing: Demonstrating that the device performs similarly to predicate devices.
- Risk Assessment: Conducted in compliance with ISO 14971.
The conclusion states that based on these activities, the Lifecath S is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe and effective for its intended use.
Summary of inapplicable AI/ML-specific criteria:
- Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for AI/ML): Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device. The "performance" here refers to physical characteristics and biocompatibility, not AI model metrics.
- Sample size and data provenance (for AI/ML test set): Not applicable.
- Number of experts and qualifications (for AI/ML ground truth): Not applicable.
- Adjudication method (for AI/ML test set): Not applicable.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study: Not applicable.
- Standalone performance (AI algorithm only): Not applicable.
- Type of ground truth (for AI/ML): Not applicable.
- Sample size for training set (for AI/ML): Not applicable.
