OTC: For moistening absorbent wound dressings and cleaning minor burns, superficial abrasions and minor irritations of the skins. Not for injection.

Rx: For moistening absorbent wound dressings and for moistening, debriding and cleaning acute and chronic dermal lesions, such as stage I-IV pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, foot ulcers, post-surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, cuts, abrasions and minor skin irritations and for device irrigation. Not for injection.

Aqua Care & Accu-Rinse, Sterile Water & Sterile Normal Saline device is a wound and device cleansing solution that is intended for moistening and debriding of dermal wounds and for device irrigation. The solution is either sterile water or sterile saline for irrigation and meets all of the associated requirements defined in the USP. The subject device is offered in various bottle and cup sizes.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called "Aqua Care & Accu-Rinse, Sterile Water & Sterile Normal Saline." This device is a wound and device cleansing solution. The summary details information typically found in a regulatory submission rather than a clinical study report. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding a study proving acceptance criteria (like sample size for test sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set details) is not present.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and the types of testing performed to demonstrate conformance.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided document:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for this device are primarily based on conformance to USP (United States Pharmacopeia) monographs for "Water for Irrigation" and "Sodium Chloride," and demonstrating sterility. The device's performance is reported by stating its compliance with these standards.

Details of the Study/Testing (as provided in the document):

The document describes laboratory testing to demonstrate chemical and sterility conformance against established standards (USP monographs and industry sterilization practices). It does not describe a clinical study or a comparative effectiveness study involving human interpretation or AI.

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

   • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test, but the document mentions "a summary of all lots tested can be found in summary tables on page 14-3 and 14-4." These pages are not included in the provided text.
   • Data Provenance: The testing was performed on the product itself ("Sterile Water for Irrigation" and "sodium chloride used in the Sterile Normal Saline"). No external data from specific countries or populations are mentioned. The testing is analytical/laboratory-based rather than a retrospective or prospective clinical study.

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

   • Not applicable. The ground truth for this device (chemical purity, sterility) is established by adherence to recognized pharmacopeial standards (USP monographs) and sterilization validation protocols, not by expert consensus on interpretations of complex data like medical images.

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

   • Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically employed in studies where human readers are making subjective assessments that need to be aggregated or confirmed (e.g., radiology reads). The testing here is objective, analytical, and laboratory-based.

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 device is a sterile solution for wound irrigation. It is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device, and therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not relevant or described.

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

   • No. This is not an algorithm-based device. The testing described is for the chemical and physical properties and sterility of the solution.

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

   • The ground truth is established by conformance to recognized industry and regulatory standards, specifically USP monographs for "Water for Irrigation" and "Sodium Chloride," and validated sterilization parameters.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning product that requires a training set.

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

   • Not applicable. No training set is used for this device.
