    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the S-FetusAI feature of the Sonoscape Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (P60 Series), based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    FeatureAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    S-Fetus-RecognitionAccuracy: Not less than 85%.90.01%
    S-Fetus-MeasureAccuracy: Not less than 80%.85%

    Clinical Performance:

    Evaluation MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Identification Precision of the 14 Standard Sections (Primary Evaluation Indicator)Non-inferiority design: The lower limit of the 95% CI for the difference of Identification Precision must be greater than -10% (S-FetusAI compared to manual recognition).The recognition precision of the standard sections of S-FetusAI was not inferior to that of the manual scan.
    Measurement Error of Growth Parameters (Secondary Evaluation Indicator)- Relative errors of measurement for 11 Growth Parameters.
    • Precision of Sp (spinal cord cone end positioning). | S-FetusAI has a good consistency with the manual measurement.
      The Sp (spinal cone end positioning) precision was basically equal between the trial group and control group. |

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

    • S-Fetus-Recognition Test Set:
      • More than 200 images for each of the 14 standard sections.
      • Total: 3717 images.
    • S-Fetus-Measure Test Set:
      • More than 250 images for each of the 9 standard sections.
      • Total: 2929 images.
    • Data Provenance: A mix of retrospective and prospective data collection in clinical practice. The test sets were collected at three hospitals in China.

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

    • Initial Ground Truth Drawing: Five OB/GYN experts with more than 3 years' experience.
    • Cross-checking: Two experts with more than 20 years' experience.
    • Re-checking: Four experts with more than 30 years' experience.
    • Clinical Performance Study (Adjudication of results): Two Readers from an independent evaluation group, consisting of qualified professionals (senior experts who had been involved in prenatal ultrasound examination).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The ground truth was established through a multi-level expert consensus process:

    1. Initial Drawing: 5 OB/GYN experts.
    2. Cross-checking: 2 senior experts.
    3. Re-checking: 4 very senior experts.
      This indicates a robust, multi-stage consensus-based adjudication, effectively a form of "expert consensus with multiple layers of review."

    For the clinical performance testing, a separate "independent evaluation group" with 2 senior experts evaluated the section recognition results and precision of Sp from both the trial (AI-assisted) and contrast (manual) groups.


    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

    • A clinical performance testing was conducted, which involved comparing the S-FetusAI function (Trial group) with manual recognition and measurement by investigators (Contrast group). This can be considered a comparative effectiveness study.
    • Research Group Composition (Contrast Group): Investigators (physicians with more than 3 years of specialized training in obstetric ultrasound examination; total 7 investigators) performing manual recognition and measurement.
    • Effect Size: The study focused on demonstrating non-inferiority rather than a specific improvement percentage for human readers with AI assistance. The conclusion states that "the recognition precision of the standard sections of S-FetusAI was not inferior to that of the manual scan." This implies that the AI-assisted system performs at least as well as, or comparably to, manual recognition. It does not explicitly quantify how much human readers improve when using AI, but rather that the AI's standalone performance (for recognition) and consistency/precision (for measurement) are comparable to manual methods.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Yes, a standalone performance testing was done for the S-FetusAI feature for both S-Fetus-Recognition and S-Fetus-Measure. The results (90.01% accuracy for recognition and 85% accuracy for measurement) are reported as entirely algorithmic performance against established ground truth.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used was expert consensus. It was established by multiple OB/GYN experts with varying levels of experience, going through a process of initial drawing, cross-checking, and re-checking. Any images not meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria were excluded from the ground truth set.


    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document explicitly states: "The test set used to test the standalone performance of S-FetusAI are independent of the training data set and tuning data set". However, the sample size for the training set is not provided in the given text.


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

    While the document implies that training and tuning datasets were used, the specific method for establishing their ground truth is not mentioned in the provided text. It only details the ground truth establishment for the test set.

    This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a Portable Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (SCN201D, SCN201L). The information provided focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already-cleared predicate devices, rather than presenting a standalone study with specific performance acceptance criteria and results.

    Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth are not available within this document. The submission primarily relies on non-clinical testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

    Here's a breakdown of the available information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    This document does not explicitly define acceptance criteria for specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) like you would find in a clinical study report for an AI/algorithm-driven device.

    Instead, the "acceptance criteria" here are implied by compliance with recognized standards and the demonstration of equivalent technical and performance properties to predicate devices. The document essentially states that the device "passed testings according to" various standards (listed below) and that "the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices" because "the minor differences don't raise any additional questions on effectiveness."

    Therefore, a table of specific acceptance criteria and reported device performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) cannot be generated from the provided text. The document focuses on showing compliance with general safety and performance standards for ultrasound systems.

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

    Not provided. This document details non-clinical testing for compliance with standards, not a clinical test set with specific sample sizes or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

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

    Not applicable. No ground truth establishment by experts for a test set is described in this document. The testing described is primarily non-clinical compliance testing.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. No adjudication method for a test set is 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

    No. A MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned or implied. This device is an ultrasound system, not an AI or algorithm-assistance tool for human readers in the context of diagnostic interpretation.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Not applicable. This device is an ultrasound system, not a standalone algorithm/AI for diagnostic interpretation.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

    Not applicable. The document describes non-clinical testing against established engineering and safety standards for ultrasound devices, not against a clinical ground truth for diagnostic accuracy.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. No training set is mentioned as this device is an ultrasound imaging system, not an AI/algorithm that requires a training set.

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

    Not applicable. As no training set is mentioned, the method for establishing ground truth for a training set is not applicable.

    AI/ML Overview

    The FDA 510(k) summary for the SonoMax Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (K233697) indicates that no clinical testing was required to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Therefore, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets performance criteria beyond non-clinical testing and comparison to a predicate device.

    Specifically, under "7. Clinical Test:" on page 6, it explicitly states: "No clinical testing was required."

    Given this, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth for the training set from the provided text for this cleared device. The substantial equivalence determination was based on non-clinical tests (electrical, mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic compatibility, biocompatibility, and acoustic output) and a comparison of the device's technical specifications and indications for use to those of a predicate device (XBit 90 Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System, K200780).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes Medisono's submission for 510(k) premarket notification for several digital color Doppler ultrasound systems. The submission asserts substantial equivalence to a set of predicate devices.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study information as requested:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner (e.g., target accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity metrics) that would typically be seen for AI-driven diagnostic devices. Instead, the performance demonstration focuses on showing equivalence to predicate devices through technical comparisons and non-clinical testing. The performance is assessed against the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    Safety and Effectiveness Equivalence to Predicate DevicesAffirmed: Non-clinical product evaluation (software verification and validation, performance testing (measurement accuracy), acoustic testing, EMC, doppler sensitivity, and safety testing per IEC standards) demonstrates the Medisono devices perform comparably and are as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
    Software FunctionalityConfirmed: Software verification and validation conducted; documentation provided per FDA guidance. Software considered "moderate level of concern."
    Measurement AccuracyConfirmed: Performance Testing included measurement accuracy for various distance and area measurements.
    Acoustic Output and Electrical SafetyConfirmed: Acoustic output testing per IEC 60601-2-37, and safety testing per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards were performed.
    EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)Confirmed: EMC measurements were performed.
    Doppler SensitivityConfirmed: Doppler sensitivity measurements were performed.
    Technical Characteristics Equivalence (e.g., display modes, gray scale, storage, cine review, depth adjustment, image conversion, annotations, body mark, USB port, display, operating voltage/frequency, capacity, battery life, dimensions)Confirmed: Detailed comparison tables (pp. 9-20) show nearly identical or equivalent technical specifications and features for each Medisono device compared to its respective predicate device. The only noted difference is the absence of network connectivity for Medisono devices.
    Intended Use EquivalenceAffirmed: The intended uses of the Medisono devices are similar to those of the predicate devices for diagnostic ultrasound imaging of various body parts and patient populations in a clinical setting.

    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 does not specify details about a "test set" for performance evaluation in terms of patient data. The provided performance evaluation is primarily based on non-clinical testing on the devices themselves (e.g., measurement accuracy, acoustic properties, safety standards adherence) rather than clinical studies with patient data. Therefore, information about sample size, country of origin, or retrospective/prospective nature of a clinical test set is not present.

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

    As the performance evaluation relied on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices' specifications, there is no information about a "ground truth" derived from expert review of patient data.

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

    Since there is no mention of a test set with patient data requiring ground truth established by experts, there is no information on an adjudication method.

    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 does not describe a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or AI assistance. The devices in question are diagnostic ultrasound systems, not AI algorithms designed to enhance human reader performance.

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

    The document describes the Medisono devices as "Ultrasonic Diagnostic Imaging System models," which are hardware systems with integrated software for image acquisition, processing, and display. The software itself is considered "moderate level of concern" and underwent verification and validation. However, the submission does not detail a standalone "algorithm only" performance study in the context of an AI/ML algorithm separate from the device's inherent functioning. The performance tests are for the overall device's measurement accuracy, acoustic output, and other core technical functions.

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

    For the "performance testing (Measurement Accuracy)," the ground truth would typically be established by known physical standards or phantoms with precise dimensions for distance and area measurements. For acoustic and EMC testing, it would be against defined regulatory standards (e.g., IEC standards). This is not human-derived ground truth from clinical data.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The document does not mention a "training set" of data, as is common for AI/ML algorithms. The software verification and validation are for the device's operational software, not an AI model that learns from data.

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

    As there is no mention of a training set, there is no information on how ground truth for a training set was established.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the SonoAir Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System, structured to answer your questions:

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Summary, which is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This type of submission generally relies on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as existing devices, often without requiring new large-scale clinical trials measuring specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance criteria in the way a novel AI algorithm might.

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

    The document does not provide explicit acceptance criteria and corresponding performance metrics for the SonoAir Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System in terms of diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device by comparing technical specifications, safety standards, and intended uses.

    The "acceptance criteria" in this context are broadly related to meeting established medical device safety and performance standards, and having comparable features and indications for use as the predicate device. The "reported device performance" is essentially that it complies with these standards and operates similarly to the predicate.

    Here's a table based on the provided information, focusing on the comparisons made for substantial equivalence, rather than specific performance metrics against diagnostic acceptance criteria:

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (SonoAir Series)
    Indications for Use (Substantially Equivalent to Predicate)Comparable to predicate devices (EBit 90 & XBit 90) with minor differences. Differences analyzed and deemed not to raise new safety/effectiveness concerns.
    DesignSame autocorrelation for color processing, FFT for pulse/CW Doppler, supporting linear, curve, phase array probes, Cine playback, image archive.
    Operational ControlsSame design as predicate. Minor differences in setting ranges (e.g., depth range, color wall filter, color baseline, PW sweeping speed, PW sample volume, PW angle correction, baseline) exist but comply with standards and meet clinical requirements.
    Safety ComplianceComplies with ANSI AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-37, ISO 10993 (various parts).
    Operational ModesComparable operational modes (B mode, M mode, CFM, PW, CPA(PD), DPD, Triplex, HPRF, FHI, etc.) to predicate devices.
    MeasurementsSimilar 2D, M-mode, and Doppler measurements to predicate devices.
    Transducer Types & ConnectorsConvex Array, Phased Array, Linear Array, 4 ports. Considered similar to predicate (differing slightly in volume probe and number of ports).
    Users / SitesHospitals, clinics usage (same as predicate).
    Acoustic OutputTrack 3; MI, TIS, TIC, TIB (Derated Ispta: 720mW/cm² max, TIS/TIB/TIC: 0.1-4.0 Range, Mechanical Index: 1.9 Max, Derated Isppa: 190 W/cm² max) - same as predicate.
    Power RequirementsPower requirements: AC: 100V-240V, Freq: 50-60Hz; Operating temp: 10-38°C; relative humidity 30-75%; Barometric pressure: 700 to 1060hPa. Operating temperature is within the scope of the predicate.
    Software Documentation (Moderate Level of Concern)Included and reviewed per FDA guidance.

    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 explicitly states: "No clinical testing was required." This means there was no specific clinical test set used to evaluate the device against diagnostic performance metrics. The evaluation was based on non-clinical tests demonstrating compliance with recognized standards and a comparison of technical specifications with predicate devices.

    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)

    Since no clinical testing was required, there were no "experts" in the context of establishing ground truth for a diagnostic test set. The evaluation relied on regulatory compliance and engineering comparisons.

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

    Not applicable, as no clinical test set 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

    Not applicable. This is a general diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no clinical studies of this nature were conducted or required for this 510(k) submission.

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

    Not applicable. This is a general diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI-driven algorithm.

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

    Not applicable. For this 510(k), the "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence was adherence to recognized medical device standards and the technical specifications and operational characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a general diagnostic ultrasound system; there is no mention of an AI component or a training set for an algorithm.

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

    Not applicable, as no training set was identified.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Sonoscape Medical Corp.'s S90 Exp Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria related to a performance study for the device's clinical or algorithmic performance, nor does it detail a study that proves the device meets such criteria.

    The document primarily focuses on:

    • Indications for Use: What the device is intended for (various clinical applications and modes of operation).
    • Comparison to Predicate Devices: Explaining how the S90 Exp Series is similar to previously cleared devices in terms of intended use, regulations, safety standards, acoustic output, probes, biopsy brackets, and technical characteristics.
    • Non-Clinical Tests: Listing compliance with electrical safety, EMC, acoustic, and software verification standards.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The text explicitly states:

    "No clinical testing was required."

    This indicates that, for the purpose of this 510(k) submission, a clinical study demonstrating the device's performance against specific clinical acceptance criteria was not performed or submitted. The substantial equivalence argument is based on the device's similarity to predicate devices and compliance with non-clinical technical standards.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text details the P12 Elite Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not include a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria related to efficacy beyond general safety and electrical standards. The document states "No clinical testing was required" (Section 8).

    Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, and comparative/standalone effectiveness studies is not available in the provided text.

    However, the document does list non-clinical performance test results:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Performance TestAcceptance Criteria (Standard)Reported Device Performance
    Electrical safety testingIEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012Passed
    EMC testingIEC 60601-1-2:2014Passed
    Acoustic testingIEC 60601-2-37:2007+A1:2015; AIUM/NEMA UD 2:2004 (R2009)Passed
    Software Verification and ValidationIEC 62304:2006 +A1:2015Passed

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

    • Sample Size: Not applicable/not specified for performance criteria beyond standards compliance. The document explicitly states "No clinical testing was required." The "test set" in this context refers to the device and its components undergoing engineering and safety evaluations rather than a clinical dataset.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified, but likely internal laboratory testing by Sonoscape Medical Corp. (manufacturer's non-clinical testing).

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

    • Not applicable/not specified, as no clinical ground truth was established from expert consensus for device performance. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was the compliance with established engineering and safety standards.

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

    • Not applicable/not specified, as individual case-level adjudication by experts was not performed for these non-clinical tests. Compliance was assessed against defined technical standards.

    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. The document explicitly states "No clinical testing was required." The device is a general-purpose ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool discussed in the context of improving human reader performance.

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

    • Not applicable. The device is a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an algorithm being tested in a standalone capacity without a human operator. Its performance is assessed through its ability to provide images and measurements for human interpretation.

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

    • For the non-clinical tests described, the "ground truth" was compliance with established international and national engineering, electrical, electromagnetic, acoustic output, software, and biocompatibility standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993, AIUM/NEMA UD 2).

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This document describes the regulatory clearance of a medical device (ultrasound system), not the development or validation of a machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) summary (K221140) describes the Sonoscape P20 Elite Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study for software performance and acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device.

    Therefore, the information required to answer your request (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth details, and training set information) is not available in the provided text.

    The document discusses general performance tests related to electrical safety, EMC, acoustic testing, and software verification/validation, but these are for the overall ultrasound system's hardware and embedded software, not for an AI/ML algorithm within the system.

    The "P20 Elite Series" system includes some "newly added features in Function" such as "contrast imaging, Color 3D, S-Live/S-Live Silhouette/S-Live Contour, S-Depth, STIC, 3D/4D HyCoSy, SPI, Micro F, SR Flow, Auto Face, VCI and etc." and "new features (Measurement Items), including AVC Follicle, Auto OB, Auto NT, Auto EF, Auto bladder, Auto IMT and etc."

    For these new functions, the summary states:

    • They are "the same as or similar with the imaging functions of the reference device S60 Elite Series/S70 Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (K201059)" for imaging functions.
    • They are "the same as or equivalent with the measurement functions of the reference S60 Elite Series/S70 Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (K201059)" for measurement items.
    • "The differences in function and measurement items will not raise new risk and different questions of safety and effectiveness."
    • "The end user can edit, accept, or reject the measurements and can modify the measurement results at any point. The final output and its accuracy is controlled by the end user."

    This indicates that these functions are either manual or assisted measurement tools where the final decision rests with the user, and their performance is deemed similar to existing cleared devices, not necessarily validated through specific AI/ML performance studies with acceptance criteria as you've requested.

    Conclusion: The provided text does not contain the detailed information regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies for an AI/ML powered device as outlined in your request. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a general-purpose ultrasound system to a predicate device based on technical characteristics and safety standards.

    Device Description

    The XBit Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System is an integrated preprogrammed color doppler ultrasound imaging system, capable of producing high detail resolution intended for clinical diagnostic imaging applications. This system is a Track 3 device that employs a wide array of probes that include linear array, convex array and phased array.

Auto Follicle, SonoBeam, SonoColor, and SonoFusion, these four features are all semi-automated functions, they need to be modified during processing.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the CHISON XBit Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing detailed clinical study results designed to prove device performance against specific acceptance criteria.

    Therefore, the document does not contain the acceptance criteria or a detailed study proving the device meets those criteria in the way typically expected for a novel AI/ML device. The focus here is on the similarity of the new device to existing, already cleared ultrasound systems.

    Specifically, the document states:

    • "7. Clinical Test: No clinical testing was required." This explicitly indicates that no clinical study was conducted for this submission.

    Given this, I cannot extract the information required for accepting a device, particularly regarding a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria related to AI/ML features. The "Acceptance Criteria" in this context would likely refer to the FDA's requirements for demonstrating substantial equivalence (e.g., similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety/performance as a legally marketed predicate device).

    However, I can extract information related to the device's assessment of its substantially equivalent nature, which includes functional comparisons. The "SE Analysis" sections do describe what the device's "semi-automated functions" do and compare them to predicate features. These comparisons serve as the basis for the declaration of substantial equivalence, which is the "acceptance" in a 510(k) context.

    Let's break down what can and cannot be answered based on the provided text, assuming the "AI" features refer to the "semi-automated functions" mentioned in section 4 and detailed in the SE Analyses (e.g., Auto Follicle, SonoBeam, SonoColor, SonoFusion).


    Summary of what can be extracted from the document:

    The document describes the XBit Series Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System, which includes "semi-automated functions" like Auto Follicle, SonoBeam, SonoColor, and SonoFusion. For a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" revolve around demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices rather than proving performance against novel, quantitatively defined acceptance metrics. Indeed, the document explicitly states: "No clinical testing was required."

    However, the "SE Analysis" sections serve as the basis for demonstrating that these "semi-automated functions" are substantially equivalent to features found in predicate devices. This is the closest the document comes to describing how the device "meets acceptance criteria" for these features.

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

    Since "No clinical testing was required," there are no explicit quantitative acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in the traditional sense (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). Instead, substantial equivalence is claimed based on functional similarity.

    Here's how the document frames the comparison for the "semi-automated functions":

    Feature (Subject Device)Claimed Functionality (Subject Device)Predicate Device Analogue(s)Predicate FunctionalityBasis for Equivalence (Implicit Acceptance Criteria)
    Auto FollicleAutomatically identifies, traces, and calculates area and circumference of follicles after user positions ROI. Output values can be modified (semi-automated).Acuson x700 Diagnostic Ultrasound System (synqo® Auto Follicle measurement option)Automated measurement technique for fast, accurate assessment of multiple follicles. Measurement methods supported: Distance, 2Dist + Avg, 3Dist + Avg, 2Dist Avg, 3Dist Avg, Area, Volume, Circumference.Both can get area and circumference of follicles. The semi-automated nature of the subject device is noted but doesn't affect substantial equivalence.
    SonoFusion(Implied: Makes real-time ultrasound image match with CT/MR image.)Resona 7 Diagnostic Ultrasound System (Fusion Imaging)(Implied: Makes real-time ultrasound image match with CT/MR image.)Both improve diagnostic efficiency by matching images (despite differences in "navigation device and navigation bracket").
    SonoColorRecognizes vessel angle automatically.Resona 7 Diagnostic Ultrasound System (Color Vol)(Implied: Requires user control for vessel angle recognition.)Both can get point velocity and meet clinical requirements, despite differences in automation level for angle acquisition.
    SonoBeamImproved version of Q-beam, multi-beam blood flow high frame rate function based on traditional dual beamformer principle. Improves processing speed, increases frame rate, reduces noise.CBit 9 Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (Q-beam)Q-beam is implied to be a less advanced multi-beam technology for blood flow.Both improve image quality. The subject device's improvement is noted but does not invalidate substantial equivalence.

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

    • Sample Size: Not applicable. The document states "No clinical testing was required." The "test set" for demonstrating substantial equivalence is the comparison of functional specifications and safety data to predicate devices.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable for a clinical test set. The regulatory submission data provenance is CHISON Medical Technologies Co., Ltd. from China. The comparison is based on the declared specifications and previously cleared status of predicate devices.

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

    • Not applicable. No clinical testing with ground truth establishment was conducted.

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

    • Not applicable. No clinical testing was performed for which adjudication would be 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. The document explicitly states "No clinical testing was required." Therefore, no MRMC study was performed.

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

    • Not applicable. No standalone performance evaluation for these "semi-automated functions" is mentioned or appears to have been required. The functions are described as "semi-automated," implying a human-in-the-loop is always present.

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

    • Not applicable. As no clinical testing was performed, no ground truth needed to be established for performance evaluation. Ground truth for the predicate devices' original clearances would have been established, but this document does not detail that.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. The document does not provide information on the training set for the "semi-automated functions" (AI/ML components). This level of detail is typically not required for a 510(k) submission unless the AI/ML algorithm represents a significant change in technology or indications from the predicate.

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

    • Not applicable. As no information on the training set is provided, how its ground truth was established is also not detailed.

    In conclusion, this 510(k) summary for an ultrasound system relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and explicitly states that no clinical testing was required. Therefore, the detailed and quantitative information typically sought for AI/ML device acceptance criteria and performance studies (sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, etc.) is not present in this document. The "acceptance" of this device is based on its similarity to already cleared devices in terms of indications, technology, and safety/performance characteristics.

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

    • The document states that non-clinical tests (electrical safety, EMC, acoustic, biocompatibility, software verification/validation) were performed.
    • No clinical testing was required for this 510(k) submission.
    • Therefore, there is no specific "test set" in terms of patient data for an AI algorithm as typically understood in such studies. The evaluation focused on engineering and performance parameters against established standards.
    • Data provenance: Not applicable as no clinical data test set was used.

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

    • Not applicable. Since no clinical test set was utilized and no AI algorithm with independent ground truth establishment was conducted, there were no experts needed to establish ground truth for a clinical test set. The device is an ultrasound system, not an AI diagnostic tool requiring clinical ground truth for performance evaluation in this submission.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable. No clinical test set or subjective interpretations requiring adjudication were part of this 510(k) 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. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This submission is for a general-purpose ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically undergo such a study to evaluate reader performance with and without AI.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

    • No. This is not an AI algorithm. It is a digital color Doppler ultrasound system. The evaluation was of the system's compliance with safety and performance standards.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" was based on the requirements and methodologies outlined in the specified international medical device standards (IEC, ISO, AIUM/NEMA). These standards define objective parameters and testing procedures for assessing the safety and performance of ultrasound systems.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. This submission does not pertain to an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

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

    • Not applicable. As there is no AI algorithm training set, no ground truth needed to be established for it.
