The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor, which seeks to obtain pediatric indications and an extended shelf life for an existing device. It largely focuses on mechanical testing, a review of clinical literature, and real-world data to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than an AI-powered device's performance study.

Therefore, many of the requested details regarding acceptance criteria for an AI device, specific study methodologies (like MRMC, standalone AI performance), ground truth establishment for AI training/testing, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods are not present in the provided document. The document details testing for a physical medical device (suture anchor).

However, I can extract information related to the performance data and the "study" (testing) that was done to support the submission for the physical device.

The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is a sterile two-component suture anchor comprised of an eyelet and a hollow anchor body. The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is pre-mounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex 510(k) cleared suture may also be provided with the device.

This document describes the FDA clearance for the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor. As such, the information provided focuses on the regulatory review process and the basis for substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than a clinical study evaluating the performance of a medical device against specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, the specific information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and a study to prove the device meets these criteria (including sample sizes, expert involvement for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training sets, etc.) is not present in the provided text.

The document primarily states:

• Performance Data: "Mechanical testing demonstrated that the pull-out (tensile) strength of the proposed Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor met the criteria established by the predicate device and that the anchor was successfully inserted into the bone substitute. Geometric analysis and Load vs Degradation Time comparison was conducted to demonstrate that the expected degradation and pull out strength of the proposed anchor is not a new worst case over the predicate and referenced predicate devices. Bacterial endotoxin per USP <161>, USP <85>, FDA Guidance for Industry Pyrogen & Endotoxin Testing and EP 2.6.14 was conducted to demonstrate that the device meets pyrogen limit specifications."

This indicates that mechanical and biocompatibility tests were performed, and the results were compared against established criteria or predicate device performance. However, it does not provide the quantitative acceptance criteria, the specific methodology of these tests (e.g., number of samples tested, blinding, etc.), or details of a study meeting the criteria you've outlined for clinical performance or an AI/human-in-the-loop system.

In summary, the provided text from the FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer the questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI-driven or diagnostic device. This document pertains to a mechanical surgical implant, and the assessment for such a device is typically based on mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and substantial equivalence to existing devices, rather than the types of performance metrics and study designs common for AI/human reader studies.

The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is a BioComposite two-component, knotless suture anchor comprised of an eyelet and a hollow anchor body. The SwiveLock Anchor is pre-mounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex cleared suture may also be provided with the device.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchors, specifically for the addition of a meniscal root repair indication. It's a regulatory submission, not a study report per se, and it pertains to a physical medical device (suture anchors), not a software or AI-driven device.

Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable to this type of document or device. For example, there's no "device performance" in terms of accuracy metrics, no "test set" in the computational sense, no "ground truth" derived from expert consensus on images, no "training set," and no "AI assistance."

However, I can extract information related to the performance data provided to support the new indication.

Here's the breakdown of what can be extracted from the provided text, and where the requested information is not applicable:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated numerically (e.g., how many anchors were tested, how many repetitions). The document refers to "testing" performed.
• Data Provenance: The testing was conducted to demonstrate the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the device for the new indication. It would be considered prospective testing for the purpose of this submission, performed by the manufacturer (Arthrex Inc.). Country of origin is not specified, but the manufacturer is based in Naples, Florida, USA.

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

• Not Applicable: This relates to a physical device, not an image-based diagnostic or AI system. The "ground truth" here is objective physical and chemical testing results, not expert interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

• Not Applicable: As above, this is for physical/chemical testing, not expert adjudication of diagnostic outputs. The assessment of whether the ultimate load and displacement are "within the acceptable range" would be based on predefined engineering specifications, not human adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

• No: This is not relevant for a physical medical device like a suture anchor. MRMC studies are typically for diagnostic imaging systems or AI products.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

• Not Applicable: This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

• Engineering/Mechanical Specifications and Biocompatibility Standards: The "ground truth" for the performance data involves established mechanical thresholds for ultimate load and displacement in meniscal root repair applications, as well as pyrogen limit specifications defined by standards like EP 2.6.14/USP <85>. It's based on objective physical and chemical measurements rather than expert consensus on interpretation.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not Applicable: This is a physical device, and the concept of a "training set" for an algorithm does not apply.

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

• Not Applicable: As above, no training set for an algorithm exists here.

The SwiveLock Anchor is premounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex 510(k) cleared suture may also be provided with the device.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "Arthrex SwiveLock Suture Anchor." This document largely focuses on the regulatory approval process and states that the device is substantially equivalent to existing predicate devices.

However, the text does not contain the detailed information required to answer your specific questions about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria.

Here's why and what information is missing:

• Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Cyclic pull-out testing after 16 weeks of degradation was conducted on the Arthrex SwiveLock Suture Anchor. Results demonstrate that the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor performs statistically equivalent to the predicate device (K061863 – Arthrex Corkcrew)." It also mentions "Bacterial endotoxin per EP 2.6.14/USP <85> was conducted to demonstrate that the device meets pyrogen limit specifications." However, it does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum pull-out strength in Newtons) or the numerical reported performance data. Therefore, a table cannot be created.
• Sample Size, Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Performance, Training Set Information: The document is completely silent on these aspects. These details are typically found in a more comprehensive study report or clinical trial summary, not usually in a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence. The tests mentioned (cyclic pull-out, bacterial endotoxin) are mechanical and biological safety tests, not performance studies that would involve human readers, ground truth establishment, or large patient datasets.

In summary, based on the provided text, I cannot complete the requested information. The document confirms that testing was done to show equivalence and meet safety specifications, but it does not disclose the specifics of those tests, such as acceptance criteria values or detailed performance results, nor does it describe studies involving clinical performance evaluation as you've outlined.

The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is a two-component, knotless suture anchor comprised of an eyelet and a hollow anchor body. The SwiveLock Anchor is premounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex 510(k) cleared suture may also be provided with the device.

This provides an analysis of the provided text regarding the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchors.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission for the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchors (K190728) describes a comparison to predicate devices, focusing on mechanical performance. The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the statement that the device performs "statistically equivalent" to the predicate.

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

• Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size (n) used for the cyclic pull-out testing. It only mentions that "Cyclic pull-out testing was performed."
• Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but given it's a 510(k) submission from a U.S. company (Arthrex Inc., Naples, FL), the testing would typically be conducted in a controlled lab environment, likely in the US or by a recognized testing facility. It would be considered prospective testing for the purpose of this submission.

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

This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing of a medical device like a suture anchor is based on objective, quantifiable physical measurements (e.g., force, displacement, material properties) rather than expert opinion or diagnostic interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used in studies involving human interpretation (e.g., image reading) where there might be disagreement among experts. For mechanical testing, the results are typically derived from instrumentation, and judgment or adjudication in that sense is not usually employed.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. MRMC studies are typically performed for diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret results, and the AI's impact on their performance is evaluated. This submission is for a surgical implant (suture anchor), where performance is assessed through biomechanical testing, not reader interpretation.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was done. The "Performance Data" section describes "Cyclic pull-out testing" and "Bacterial endotoxin testing." These are laboratory-based, objective tests conducted on the device itself without human intervention in the performance measurement process.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the performance data is based on objective, quantitative physical and biological measurements:

• Biomechanical Metrics: For cyclic pull-out testing, the "ground truth" is the measured force-displacement characteristics and failure modes, compared against established performance benchmarks of the predicate devices.
• Physicochemical Analysis: For bacterial endotoxin testing, the "ground truth" is the measured endotoxin level compared against predefined pyrogen limit specifications.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as this device does not involve an AI algorithm that requires a "training set." The device is a physical medical implant whose performance is evaluated through mechanical and biological testing, not by learned patterns from data.

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

This information is not applicable, as there is no AI algorithm or training set involved with this device.

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: Arthrex SwiveLock Anchors. It is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for the purpose of a regulatory clearance for an expanded indication (quadriceps tendon repair).

Crucially, this document does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven device or study that would involve acceptance criteria for algorithms, human-in-the-loop performance, or the other specific details requested in your prompt (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert consensus, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment methods for AI).

The "Performance Data" section of this 510(k) summary refers to:

• Static pull-out testing of the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor and a predicate device.
• Cyclic pull-out testing of the subject device after degradation, compared to a non-resorbable predicate.
• Bacterial endotoxin testing (pyrogen limit specifications).

These are biomechanical and biocompatibility tests for a physical implantable device, not performance metrics for an AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves an AI device meets acceptance criteria based on this document. The document describes the regulatory submission for a physical medical device (suture anchors) and its associated mechanical and biological performance, not an AI product.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Arthrex SwiveLock device, focusing on an additional indication for meniscal root repair. It does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven medical device, but rather a mechanical medical device (a suture anchor). As such, many of the requested categories for AI/ML performance studies are not applicable.

However, I can extract the information relevant to the device's performance testing for its new indication.

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

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not specify the sample sizes for the mechanical or biocompatibility testing. The data provenance is also not specified, as this is a submission to the FDA (USA) and the tests are generally conducted internally or by contract labs.

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)

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth for classification/detection tasks. The "ground truth" here is established by standardized testing methods and specifications.

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

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device.

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

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML device.

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

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML device.

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

For the mechanical performance, the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering and biomechanical principles, and the acceptable ranges for ultimate load and cyclic displacement are likely derived from cadaveric studies, clinical literature on meniscal root repair, or comparison to predicate devices/established surgical benchmarks.

For biocompatibility, the ground truth is based on recognized consensus standards (EP 2.6.14/USP <85>) for bacterial endotoxin limits.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

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

Not applicable, as this is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML device.

The Arthrex SwiveLock Anchor is a two-component, knotless suture anchor composed of an eyelet and a hollow anchor body. The SwiveLock Anchor is pre-mounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. Arthrex suture may also be provided with the device.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Arthrex SwiveLock Anchors. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than undergoing a new, comprehensive clinical trial for a novel AI device. Therefore, the questions related to AI-specific study design (such as human reader improvement with AI assistance, ground truth for training sets, etc.) are not directly applicable to this document's content.

However, I can extract the information relevant to the device's performance testing and how it meets acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence to its predicate.

Here's the relevant information based on the provided text, framed as closely as possible to your request for acceptance criteria and study details:

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

For a 510(k) submission for a modification, the "acceptance criteria" are typically defined by demonstrating that the modified device performs equivalently to the predicate device in relevant performance tests, or that the modifications do not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns. The "reported device performance" is then the outcome of these tests.

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

• Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of units or samples used for the pull-out, compressive load, and mode of failure testing, nor for the bacterial endotoxin testing. This level of detail is typically found in the full test reports, which are not part of this summary.
• Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. Given it's a 510(k) for a manufacturing modification, the testing would generally be prospective laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer (Arthrex Inc., located in Naples, Florida, USA).

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

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human interpretation of medical images or data requiring expert consensus for ground truth. The "ground truth" for mechanical testing is established by the physical testing equipment and methods themselves (e.g., measuring force, observing failure points).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human-based data interpretation or classification where adjudication would be necessary.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI device or a study involving human readers.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the mechanical tests (pull-out, compressive load, mode of failure), the ground truth is established through physical measurement and observation during standardized laboratory testing. For the bacterial endotoxin test, the ground truth is established by laboratory assay results against a pyrogen limit specification.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set. The device is a modification of an existing mechanical anchor.

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

Not applicable. As above, there is no AI training set.
