    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The 3i "CelSep" Centrifuge System, is designed for use in the clinical laboratory or intraoperatively at point-of care, for the safe and effective preparation of platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate from a small sample (50-60ml) of whole blood.

    The plasma and concentrated platelets produced can be used for diagnostic tests.

    Device Description

    "CelSep" Centrifuge System consists of a table-top, non self-decanting, swinging bucket centrifuge and single-use processing disposable, designed to permit rapid and completely self-contained and safe separation of plasma and platelets from a small volume of whole blood. The centrifuge spins at a maximum speed of 3400 rpms at a maximum force of approximately 2050g.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the 3i CelSep Centrifuge System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way a medical device seeking de novo authorization or a clinical trial report would.

    Therefore, many of the requested sections (2-9) cannot be fully answered as the provided document does not contain that level of detail regarding a formal study to prove performance against acceptance criteria. The submission is a comparison of technological characteristics to a legally marketed predicate device.

    Here's an attempt to extract and interpret the information based on the provided document:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of performance thresholds for a new device. Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device based on technological characteristics. The "performance" is implied by demonstrating that its characteristics are similar enough to the predicate to perform the intended function safely and effectively.

    Note: The performance of the device in terms of preparing platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate from a small sample of blood is stated as its intended use. The 510(k) process typically relies on demonstrating that the device performs as well as or in a similar manner to the predicate device for its intended use, rather than requiring new, specific performance metrics studies like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity. The "acceptance criteria" here are essentially the shared technological characteristics with the predicate device, implying that if the characteristics are substantially equivalent, the performance for the intended use will also be equivalent.


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

    The provided document does not describe a formal test set, sample size, or data provenance from a prospective or retrospective study to evaluate the device's performance against specific metrics. The submission focuses on comparing the device's technological characteristics to a predicate device.


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

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The submission does not detail a study where ground truth was independently established by experts for a test set.


    4. Adjudication Method

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. There is no mention of an adjudication process for a test set.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not reported in this 510(k) summary. This type of study is typically associated with AI/CAD devices that assist human readers in interpretation, which is not the function of a centrifuge.


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

    This question is not applicable. The 3i CelSep Centrifuge System is a physical device, not an algorithm, and therefore doesn't have "standalone" algorithm performance in the context of AI/CAD devices. Its operation is independent of human interpretation of algorithmic output.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The summary does not describe a study that required establishing 'ground truth' in the context of clinical outcomes, pathology, or expert consensus. The equivalence is based on device characteristics and intended use.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The device is a centrifuge, not an AI model requiring a training set.


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

    This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The device is a centrifuge, not an AI model requiring a training set and associated ground truth establishment.
