    Device Description

    ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (ARIA RTM) manages several treatment information such as images and treatment data to prepare plans created for treatment and review post-treatment images and records. It also provides quality assurance options. ARIA RTM does not directly act on the patient. ARIA RTM is applied by trained medical professionals in the process of preparation and management of radiotherapy treatments for patients.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) summary for ARIA Radiation Therapy Management System (18.1) does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer your request regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving device performance.

    Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The submission states: "Test results demonstrate conformance to applicable requirements and specifications." However, it does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics. It implies that underlying V&V documentation exists that confirms the software meets its design requirements, but these details are not present in this summary.

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

    The document states: "No animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission." This indicates that the validation was likely based on non-clinical software testing, not patient data. Therefore, there is no patient-specific test set sample size or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) mentioned. The testing would have involved simulated data, test cases, or internal datasets to verify software functionalities.

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

    Since the testing was non-clinical software verification and validation, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a test set in the traditional sense of clinical evaluation. Software testing typically relies on predefined requirements, specifications, and expected outputs, rather than expert-adjudicated ground truth from medical images or patient cases.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Similarly, because there are no clinical trials or expert-adjudicated test sets, there is no adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) described.

    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

    The document explicitly states: "No animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission." Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was conducted or reported for this submission. The device is a radiation therapy management system, not explicitly an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.

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

    The submission indicates that the software underwent "Software Verification and Validation Testing" and was considered a "major" level of concern. This implies extensive standalone algorithm (software) testing to ensure it meets its functional and safety requirements. However, specific details of these tests (e.g., test cases, scenarios, and their results) are not provided in this summary. The device "does not directly act on the patient" and is "applied by trained medical professionals," suggesting it's an assistive tool within a human workflow, but its core functionalities are tested in a standalone manner.

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

    Given the non-clinical nature of the testing, the "ground truth" would have been established by the software requirements and specifications, test case design, and expected outputs defined by the developers. This is typical for software verification and validation, where the goal is to confirm the software performs as designed.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The submission does not mention any training set as there is no indication of machine learning or AI models with external data training involved that would require such information. The changes appear to be feature enhancements to an existing software system.

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

    As no training set is mentioned, this information is not applicable.

    In summary, the provided document focuses on the regulatory aspects of a software update (v18.1) to an existing device (v18.0) and highlights software verification and validation as the primary evidence of performance. It explicitly states that no clinical or animal studies were included. Therefore, the detailed performance metrics, test set characteristics, and expert involvement typically associated with clinical efficacy studies are not present.

    icobrain aria

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

    icobrain aria is a computer-assisted detection (CADe) and diagnosis (CADx) software device to be used as a concurrent reading aid to help trained radiologists in the detection, assessment and characterization of Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA) from a set of brain MR images. The software provides information about the presence, location, size, severity and changes of ARIA-E (brain edema or sulcal effusions) and ARIA-H (hemosiderin deposition, including microhemorrhage and superficial siderosis). Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by icobrain aria.

    Device Description

    icobrain aria is a software-only device for assisting radiologists with the detection of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) on brain MRI scans of Alzheimer's disease patients under an amyloid beta-directed antibody therapy. The device utilizes 2D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAR) for the detection of ARIA-E (edema/sulcal effusion) and 2D T2* gradient echo (T2*-GRE) for the detection of ARIA-H (hemosiderin deposition).

    icobrain aria automatically processes input brain MRI scans in DICOM format from two time points and generates annotated DICOM images and an electronic report.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    icobrain aria: Acceptance Criteria and Performance Study Summary

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The acceptance criteria are not explicitly listed in a single, dedicated table with pass/fail thresholds. Instead, they are implicitly defined by the statistically significant improvements demonstrated in the clinical (MRMC) study, and the "in line with human experts" conclusion from standalone performance. The document focuses on showing the effect size of the improvement rather than pre-defined absolute thresholds for sensitivity, specificity, or AUC for human-AI combined performance. For standalone metrics, it reports specific values and concludes they are "in line with the performance of human experts," suggesting the internal acceptance criteria were met.

    Therefore, the table below will summarize the reported performance results from the clinical study, which implicitly met the acceptance criteria by demonstrating significant improvement over unassisted reading.

    Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implicit, based on study outcomes)Reported Device Performance (Assisted)Reported Device Performance (Unassisted)Result

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: 199 cases.
    • Data Provenance: MRI datasets from subjects diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To guarantee independence, test data subjects were not included in the training set.
      • Country of Origin: More than 100 sites in 20 countries. Approximately half the data originated from the US and the other half from outside the US.
      • Retrospective/Prospective: The study used retrospective data from clinical trials (aducanumab clinical trials PRIME (NCT02677572), EMERGE (NCT02484547), and ENGAGE (NCT02477800)). This data provenance applies to both training and testing datasets.

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

    • Number of Experts: A consensus of 3 experts was used for the clinical (MRMC) study ground truth. For standalone testing, the ground truth was established by unspecified "expert neuroradiologists."
    • Qualifications of Experts:
      • Clinical Study (MRMC): Experts who performed "safety ARIA reading in clinical trials for Aβ-directed antibody therapies in AD."
      • Standalone Testing: "expert neuroradiologists (with experience performing safety ARIA reading in clinical trials for Aβ-directed antibody therapies in AD) manually segmented both ARIA-H findings." This indicates they had prior, relevant experience.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Adjudication Method: "A consensus of 3 experts" was used to establish the ground truth for the clinical (MRMC) study. The specific consensus method (e.g., majority vote, discussion to agreement) is not detailed, but the term "consensus" implies a collective agreement process.

    5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, and Effect Size of Improvement

    • MRMC Study Done: Yes, a fully-crossed MRMC retrospective reader study was conducted.
    • Effect Size (AUC difference, Assisted vs. Unassisted):
      • ARIA-E Detection: +0.051 AUC (95% CI [0.020, 0.083]), p=0.001
      • Pooled ARIA-H Detection: +0.044 AUC (95% CI [0.017, 0.070]), p=0.001
      • ARIA-H Microhemorrhages: +0.029 AUC (95% CI [0.002, 0.055]), p=0.032
      • ARIA-H Superficial Siderosis: +0.063 AUC (95% CI [0.023, 0.102]), p=0.003

    Readers also showed significant increases in sensitivity, significant decreases in inter-reader variability, and were on average faster when assisted.

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

    • Standalone Study Done: Yes, "icometrix conducted standalone performance assessments."
      • Standalone Performance Highlights (Main Test Set on 199 cases):
        • ARIA-E Diagnosis: Sensitivity 0.94, Specificity 0.67, AUC 0.84
        • ARIA-H Diagnosis: Sensitivity 0.87, Specificity 0.66, AUC 0.81
        • ARIA-E Finding-level: True Positive Rate 69.1%, False Positive findings per case 0.7
        • ARIA-H New Microhemorrhages Finding-level: True Positive Rate 66.1%, False Positive findings per case 0.9
        • ARIA-H New Superficial Siderosis Finding-level: True Positive Rate 62.5%, False Positive findings per case 0.1
      • The document concludes that standalone performance was "in line with the performance of human experts."

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Ground Truth Type: Expert consensus for the clinical study (MRMC) and expert manual annotations for the standalone testing.
      • Details: For standalone testing, "expert neuroradiologists ... manually segmented both ARIA-E and ARIA-H findings. Ground truth ARIA measurements were derived from the expert manual annotated masks." For the MRMC study, ground truth was obtained via "a consensus of 3 experts."

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Training Set Sample Size:
      • FLAIR images (for ARIA-E): 475 image pairs from 172 subjects.
      • T2-GRE images (for ARIA-H):* 326 image pairs from 177 subjects.

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

    • Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: The data used for developing the algorithms "have been manually annotated by expert neuroradiologists with prior experience of reading ARIA in clinical trials of amyloid beta-directed antibody drugs." This implies manual annotation by experts served as the ground truth for training.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for Varian Medical Systems' ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (v18.0) device. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance data from non-clinical testing.

    However, the document does not contain the following information necessary to describe acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria:

    • Specific acceptance criteria: The document mentions "applicable requirements were met" and "safeguards against hazards functioned properly" but does not detail what these specific quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria were for the software verification and validation.
    • Reported device performance: While it states "test results showed that applicable requirements were met," it does not provide any specific performance metrics or data (e.g., accuracy, precision, error rates) that were measured and compared against acceptance criteria.
    • Sample size and data provenance for test set: No information is given about a test set, as all testing was non-clinical software verification and validation.
    • Experts for ground truth and adjudication method: These are typically relevant for studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints, which this submission explicitly states were not conducted.
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness study: The document clearly states that "No data from animal studies or clinical tests have been included" and "no animal or clinical studies were conducted for the subject device." Therefore, no MRMC study was performed.
    • Standalone performance: Since no clinical studies were performed, there are no reported standalone performance metrics in the context of interpretation or diagnosis. The performance mentioned refers to software functionality.
    • Type of ground truth: Ground truth is usually associated with clinical or pathological verification in studies, which are absent here.
    • Training set information: As this is primarily a software update and management system, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense, this information is not applicable and not provided.

    Based on the provided text, I can only state what is mentioned regarding performance, rather than providing the requested table and details about a clinical study:

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

    Acceptance Criteria (General)Reported Device Performance
    Applicable software requirements were metTest results showed that applicable requirements were met
    Safeguards against hazards functioned properlyTest results assured that safeguards against hazards functioned properly
    Performs as intended in specified use conditionsNon-clinical data support the safety and demonstrate that ARIA Radiation Therapy Management should perform as intended
    Software safety and effectivenessARIA Radiation Therapy Management is as safe and effective as the predicate

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

    • Sample Size: Not applicable. The submission describes software verification and validation, not a test set of patient data.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable. Testing was based on software functionality and engineering requirements.

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

    • Not applicable. No test set involving human interpretation or clinical ground truth was used.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable. No test set requiring expert adjudication was used.

    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 document explicitly states: "No data from animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission" and "no animal or clinical studies were conducted for the subject device."

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

    • Yes, in the context of software verification and validation, the performance of the software (algorithm) was assessed standalone against its functional and safety requirements. However, this is not a standalone diagnostic performance study as typically understood for AI/ML devices. The document states: "The non-clinical data support the safety of the software verification and validation demonstrate that ARIA Radiation Therapy Management should perform as intended in the specified use conditions."

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    • For the software verification and validation, the "ground truth" was the specified engineering requirements, functional specifications, and regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 62304, IEC 62366-1, ISO 13485, ISO 14971). There was no clinical or pathological ground truth used as no clinical studies were performed.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is a software management system, not a machine learning model that typically involves a "training set" in the AI/ML sense.

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

    • Not applicable, as no training set (in the AI/ML context) was described.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for two medical devices: ARIA Radiation Therapy Management (v15.8) and Eclipse Treatment Planning System (v15.8).

    Based on the provided text, the following information can be extracted:

    • Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance: The document states that the devices were "verified and validated according to the FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820) and other FDA recognized consensus standards." It also mentions, "Test results demonstrate that the device conforms to design specifications and meets of the intended users, including assuring risk mitigations were implemented and functioned properly."
      However, the document does not provide a specific table of acceptance criteria with reported numerical device performance metrics. The performance assessment is general, confirming adherence to regulatory standards and design specifications rather than specific quantitative thresholds for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or other performance indicators typical for AI/ML-driven devices.

    • Study That Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
      The study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria is Software Verification and Validation Testing.

    Here's a breakdown of the specific points requested, based on the provided text:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
    * Acceptance Criteria: The acceptance criteria are broadly defined as conformance to design specifications, meeting intended user requirements, and assuring risk mitigations were implemented and functioned properly. This is according to FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR §820) and other FDA recognized consensus standards (listed below).
    * Reported Device Performance: "Test results demonstrate that the device conforms to design specifications and meets of the intended users, including assuring risk mitigations were implemented and functioned properly." No specific numerical performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity values) are provided for a direct comparison in a table format.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
    * Sample Size: The document does not specify the sample size (e.g., number of cases or patients) used for the software verification and validation testing.
    * Data Provenance: The document does not mention the country of origin of the data, nor does it specify if the data was retrospective or prospective.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
    * This information is not provided. The document primarily focuses on software engineering and regulatory compliance rather than clinical performance validation involving experts establishing ground truth for a test set.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:
    * This information is not provided. There's no mention of a clinical test set requiring adjudication in the context of this submission.

    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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The document explicitly states: "No data from animal studies or clinical tests have been included in this pre-market submission." This indicates that the regulatory submission primarily relies on software verification and validation and comparison to predicate devices, not studies demonstrating human reader improvement with AI assistance.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
    * The document implies that standalone software verification and validation testing was done, as it states "Software Verification and Validation Testing" was performed to ensure conformance to design specifications and risk mitigation. However, it does not explicitly detail "algorithm only" performance metrics in a clinical sense. The devices are described as tools for trained medical professionals, suggesting a human-in-the-loop operation, but the provided V&V is on the software itself.

    7. The type of ground truth used:
    * The term "ground truth" in a clinical performance context is not explicitly mentioned. For software verification and validation, ground truth would relate to the correctness of the software's output against its design specifications and expected behavior, rather than clinical outcomes or expert consensus on medical images.

    8. The sample size for the training set:
    * This information is not applicable and therefore not provided. These devices are not described as AI/ML systems that undergo a machine learning training phase on a dataset. They are software tools for treatment planning and management.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
    * This information is not applicable and therefore not provided, as these are not AI/ML training data sets.

    In summary, the provided document focuses on regulatory compliance through software verification and validation and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than detailed clinical performance studies often associated with novel AI/ML device submissions. The "acceptance criteria" are compliance with quality system regulations and standards, and "performance" is demonstrated by successful verification and validation tests against design specifications.

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

    Components of the Signature Orthopaedics hip replacement range are intended to replace a hip joint where bone stock is sufficient to support the implant. When a surgeon has selected prosthetic replacement as the devices are indicated for:

    • · Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis
    • · Inflammatory joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis
    • · Correction of functional deformity including congenital hip dysplasia
    • · Traumatic injury involving the hip joint including traumatic arthritis or femoral head or neck fracture
    • · Failed previous hip surgery including internal fixation, reconstruction, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement, or total replacement

    Signature Orthopaedics' Origin, Aria, Remedy, TSI and Pegasus femoral stems and Logical acetabular cups are intended for cementless fixation only. Signature Orthopaedics' Evolve, Cemented TSI (both CoCr and HNSS variants) and Cemented Origin femoral stems are intended for cemented fixation only.

    Signature Orthopaedics' constrained liner components are indicated particularly for patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, joint or soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease or intraoperative instability.

    Signature Orthopaedics' Evolve UniPolar Head and BiPolar Head are intended for hemi-hip arthroplasty only, where the natural acetabulum does not require replacement. The Evolve UniPolar Head are indicated for bone fractures or pathologies involving only the femoral head/neck and/or proximal femur, such as:

    • · Acute femoral head or neck fracture
    • Fracture dislocation of the hip
    • · Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
    • Non-union of femoral neck fractures
    • · Certain high subcapital and femoral neck fractures in the elderly
    • · Degenerative arthritis involving only the femoral head
    Device Description

    The purpose of this 510(k) application is to extend the compatibility of the subject devices between Signature Orthopaedics and Encore Medical components. The subject devices themselves have not undergone any changes.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for hip replacement prostheses. It details the device name, regulation, and a claim of substantial equivalence to previously marketed predicate devices. However, it does not describe specific acceptance criteria and a study demonstrating the device meets those criteria, as typically found in clinical performance sections of submissions for new or significantly modified devices.

    Instead, this document focuses on extending the compatibility of existing subject devices with other components. The core argument for substantial equivalence is that the devices themselves have not undergone any changes, only their compatibility with other components has been extended. Therefore, the "performance testing" described refers to engineering evaluations to ensure that the performance remains equivalent to predicate devices when used in these new combinations.

    As such, many of the requested items related to acceptance criteria, clinical studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, and MRMC studies are not present or not applicable in this specific FDA clearance document, as it's not a de novo clearance or a submission for a novel AI/software as a medical device (SaMD).

    Here's an analysis based on the information provided, with an emphasis on what is not present given the nature of the document:


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

    No explicit "acceptance criteria" table for a clinical performance study is provided. The document states that "engineering evaluations concluded that the performance of the subject devices will remain at least equivalent to the predicate devices when used in combinations as per the expanded compatibility." The performance testing listed appears to be bench testing rather than clinical study.

    Performance Testing (Engineering Evaluations/Bench Testing):

    TestPurpose/StandardReported Performance
    Ceramic Head Testingper ISO 7206-10Performance remains at least equivalent to predicate devices when used in expanded combinations.
    Ceramic Head Fatigue Burst Testing and Rotational Stabilityper Ceramtec ProtocolPerformance remains at least equivalent to predicate devices when used in expanded combinations.

    Femoral Head - Constrained Liner Lever-Out DisassemblyNot specifiedPerformance remains at least equivalent to predicate devices when used in expanded combinations.

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

    Not applicable for a clinical study. The testing described appears to be bench/laboratory testing of the physical hip prostheses components. The document does not specify sample sizes for these engineering evaluations, nor does it refer to patient data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

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

    Not applicable. There is no mention of experts establishing a ground truth for a test set, as this is not a clinical or AI/SaMD performance study.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable. No adjudication method is mentioned as there is no test set in the context of a clinical performance study.

    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. This document does not pertain to an AI/SaMD device, and therefore no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was conducted.

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

    No. This document does not pertain to an AI/SaMD device, and therefore no standalone algorithm performance study was conducted.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    Not applicable in the context of clinical "ground truth." The "ground truth" for these engineering evaluations would be the established performance characteristics and safety criteria defined by the relevant ISO and ASTM standards (e.g., specific fatigue limits, wear rates, pull-out forces), against which the tested devices' physical properties are measured.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. There is no mention of a training set as this is not an AI/SaMD device.

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

    Not applicable. There is no mention of a training set.


    In summary: This FDA 510(k) clearance document for hip replacement prostheses makes a claim of substantial equivalence based on the fact that the actual devices have not changed, only their compatibility with other components has been extended. The "performance testing" referenced is a series of engineering/bench tests against international standards (ISO and ASTM) to ensure that the performance of the components remains equivalent to predicate devices in these extended combinations. It is not a clinical study involving patients, human readers, or AI/software performance.

    MEDO ARIA

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

    MEDO ARIA is designed to view and quantify ultrasound image data using machine learning techniques to aid trained medical professionals in diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The device is intended to be used on neonates and infants, aged 0 to 12 months.

    Device Description

    MEDO ARIA is a cloud-based standalone software as a medical device (SaMD) that helps qualified users with image-based assessment of developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) of pediatric patients (e.g., ages 0 to 12 months). It is designed to support the workflow by helping the radiologist to evaluate, quantify, and generate reports for hip images. MEDO ARIA Software takes as an input imported Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images from ultrasound scanners and allows users to upload, browse, and view images, measure alpha angle and acetabular coverage, and manipulate 2D and 3D infant hip ultrasound images, as well as create and finalize examination reports. It provides users with a specific toolset for viewing pediatric ultrasound hip images, placing landmarks, and creating reports.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract the acceptance criteria and study details for the MEDO ARIA device:

    The provided document, a 510(k) summary for the MEDO ARIA device, offers limited details specifically on acceptance criteria and a dedicated "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria." The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and outlining the device's features and indications for use.

    However, we can infer some information from the "Performance Data" and the general context.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance metrics. It generally states: "Safety and performance of MEDO ARIA have been evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification and validation testing."

    Without specific numerical targets, it's impossible to create a precise table. However, based on the functionalities listed, the implied performance criteria would likely revolve around the accuracy, precision, and usability of its quantitative analysis tools (alpha angle and coverage measurement), landmark placement (manual and semi-automatic), and Graf classification.

    Implied Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance (Inferred)

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred)Reported Device Performance
    Accuracy of Alpha Angle MeasurementNo specific numerical accuracy reported. The device provides quantitative analysis for "Angle (alpha angle)." Its performance has been "evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications."
    Accuracy of Acetabular Coverage MeasurementNo specific numerical accuracy reported. The device provides quantitative analysis for "Distance ratio (coverage)." Its performance has been "evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications."
    Accuracy of Semi-Automatic Landmark PlacementNo specific numerical accuracy reported. The device supports "Semi-automatic landmark placement" which is specified as "user-modifiable." Its performance has been "evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications."
    Correctness of Hip Graf ClassificationNo specific agreement rate or correctness metric reported. The device provides "Lookup-table-based Graf Classification," which is "user-modifiable." Its performance has been "evaluated and verified in accordance with software specifications."
    Software Functionality and Usability (e.g., image display, navigation, report generation)All key features listed (2D visualization, slice-scroll, manual/semi-automatic landmark placement, alpha/coverage measurements, Graf classification, report generation) are presumed to function as intended and meet internal specifications, based on "software verification and validation testing."
    Compliance with Software StandardsThe device was evaluated in accordance with "IEC 62304:2006/AC:2015 - Medical device software -Software life cycle processes" and the "FDA Guidance document, 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.'"

    2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document does not provide any specific information regarding the sample size used for the test set or the provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) of the data used for any testing.

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

    The document does not provide any information about the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for a test set.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not specify any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for a test set.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and its effect size

    The document does not mention a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it provide any effect size for human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device is described as an aid to "trained medical professionals," implying human-in-the-loop, but formal comparative studies are not detailed.

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

    The entire description of the software, particularly its role in "helping the radiologist to evaluate, quantify, and generate reports" and "aid trained medical professionals in diagnosis," suggests a human-in-the-loop context. However, the quantitative analyses (alpha angle, coverage, Graf classification) are likely performed by the algorithm in a standalone manner before the user's final decision. The document does not explicitly state if a standalone performance study (algorithm only) was conducted for these specific measurements, separate from interaction with a human.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The document does not specify the type of ground truth used (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data). Given the nature of hip ultrasound measurements, expert consensus from radiologists or orthopedic specialists reviewing the images and confirming measurements would be a likely ground truth, but this is not explicitly stated.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not provide any information regarding the sample size used for the training set.

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

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


    Summary of Missing Information:

    The provided 510(k) summary is very high-level regarding the performance evaluation. It lacks critical details that would typically be found in a detailed clinical or validation study report, such as:

    • Specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., "alpha angle measurement must be within X degrees of ground truth").
    • Performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC, mean absolute error, inter-reader variability improvement).
    • Details about the datasets used (size, characteristics, provenance).
    • Information about expert review for ground truth (number, qualifications, adjudication).
    • Details of any comparative studies (MRMC or standalone algorithm performance).

    The current document focuses on demonstrating that software verification and validation activities were performed in accordance with applicable standards and that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate, without delving into the specifics of how well it performs against defined metrics.

    Aria System

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

    The Aria sequential circulator is a programmable sequential, pneumatic compression device intended for use by medical professionals and patients at home, for the treatment of the following conditions:

    • Chronic edema
    • Lymphedema
    • Venous insufficiency
    • Wound healing
    Device Description

    The Aria system consists of two main components: A flow generator and a garment. The garment is to be wrapped around the limb, providing a comfortable fit. The garment has seven (7) chambers that are filled with air by the flow generator to provide compression on the extremity. The Aria system uses a compressand-release massage action, similar to the predicate, in order to stimulate lymphatic vessels in the treated area and encourage fluid clearance.

    The Aria system retains similar hardware and performance features of the predicate device. Key features include flow generator, valves, A/C plug pack, lower limb garment, tubing, no-LCD User Interface and ON/OFF button. The Aria System contains a microprocessor-controlled flow generator/blower system that generates pressure from 0-45 mmHG to provide for effective treatment of the conditions described in the IFU.

    The Aria flow generator has no control settings and delivers one pre-programmed therapy mode.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the Inova Labs Aria System, a programmable sequential, pneumatic compression device. It is intended for the treatment of chronic edema, lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and wound healing. The submission is a 510(k) premarket notification, indicating a claim of substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" against which the device performance is reported with specific numerical targets. Instead, it describes "bench testing" which included performance comparisons to a predicate device. The results of this testing are stated to "demonstrate that the Aria system raises no new safety or effectiveness concerns and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device."

    Here's a summary of the characteristics compared with the predicate device (Entre Model PD08-U, K143185):

    CharacteristicPredicate Device (Entre Model PD08-U, K143185)New Device (Aria System)Performance Statement (as implied from "Substantial Equivalence")

    Dimensions H x W x D (inches)11 x 6 x 8Flow generator unit: 2 x 3.3 x 5.3Smaller Aria System
    Tested Standards (electrical safety, EMC, usability, home medical, biocompatibility)IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-1-11, (ISO 10993-1 not referenced in 510(k) summary)IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-1-6, ISO 10993-1Both adhere to relevant standards, Aria includes ISO 10993-1

    The "bench testing" areas mentioned for the Aria System were:

    • Pressure stability
    • Sleeve burst test
    • Sleeve leakage test
    • Sleeve integrity test
    • Pressure accuracy test
    • Chamber filling cycle time testing
    • Total therapy time

    The report generally states that the Aria system "met the Aria System Specification when compared to the predicate device" for these tests, implying that the performance was either equivalent or acceptable relative to the predicate. Specific numerical values for acceptance criteria or detailed results are not provided in this summary.

    2. 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 discusses non-clinical bench testing. There is no "test set" in the context of patient data described for evaluating device performance. The testing involved physical device units. The provenance of the device units used for bench testing (e.g., country of manufacture) is not specified.

    3. 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 as there was no clinical test set requiring expert ground truth establishment. The evaluation was based on bench testing against engineering specifications and comparison to a predicate device.

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

    This question is not applicable as there was no clinical test set requiring adjudication.

    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 question is not applicable. The Aria System is a pneumatic compression device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretative device that would involve human "readers." No MRMC study was performed.

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

    This question is not applicable. The Aria System itself is a standalone medical device (hardware) that delivers therapy; it's not an algorithm whose performance needs to be assessed independently. While it contains a microprocessor and potentially firmware/software for control, the evaluation focuses on the overall device's physical and functional performance through bench testing.

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

    For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" or reference for evaluating performance was based on engineering specifications for the Aria System and the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (Entre Model PD08-U, K143185). For example, pressure accuracy would be compared to a calibrated standard.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This question is not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" of data for learning.

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

    This question is not applicable as there was no training set.
